Chapter 590

The Yu Hua Sect's Shanhe Ranking Tournament is in full swing.

For Fang Yu, a true disciple, this was merely a spectacle—to observe the new cohort of inner sect disciples and see if any showed promise worth nurturing.

For the inner sect disciples of Yu Hua Sect, however, this was the most pivotal moment of their lives; the sect placed great importance on the Shanhe Ranking Tournament and had prepared abundant magic treasures and elixirs—clearly, those who demonstrated their genius would receive abundant rewards.

Especially since their senior brother was watching nearby; if he took notice, he might bestow elixirs or magic treasures to nurture them, allowing their cultivation base to surge forward dramatically.

Divine Ability Secret Realm. Divine Ability Secret Realm.

Everything, the beginning of all things, starts with the Divine Ability Secret Realm.

If they could earn their senior brother's favor and enter the Divine Ability Secret Realm, their fate would be utterly transformed from that moment onward.

"Senior Brother Yu, this time Yu Hua Sect indeed has several promising inner sect disciples. Look at that young girl—she's only thirteen or fourteen, yet she's already reached the 10th Stage of Physical Body, Realm of Transformation. We never reached such a realm at thirteen or fourteen."

Fang Han also observed the Shanhe Ranking matches and saw a girl, barely thirteen or fourteen, yet with exceptionally high cultivation—she had already reached the 10th Stage of Physical Body, Realm of Transformation. At such a young age, achieving the 10th Stage of Physical Body meant that, with a few more years of cultivation, entering the Divine Ability Secret Realm was virtually certain.

"That girl is Li Sitong, sister of Li Hongyi, an inner sect disciple. Only a few days ago she was still at the 8th Stage of Physical Body, yet in these recent days her cultivation has surged to the 10th Stage. Senior Brother, you should definitely nurture her well."

West Jialan spoke, revealing his detailed knowledge of Yu Hua Sect's female disciples.

Nearly all female disciples of Yu Hua Sect—whether inner sect, outer sect, or true disciples—have joined the Jialan Society, except Fang Qingwei, who is currently still a cat.

"This girl is truly impressive. I believe, even without my direct cultivation, she will enter the Divine Ability Secret Realm within three years. But since she is a peerless genius, Yu Hua Sect must nurture her properly. Let's see how far she can go."

Fang Yu nodded.

This year, Yu Hua Sect has indeed recruited many promising talents; renowned martial masters and peerless geniuses from the mortal world are eager to join Yu Hua Sect, seeking its cultivation support—this seems somehow tied to him.

Because of Fang Yu's own genius, his reputation has gradually spread through the mortal world. In dynasties like Da Li, Da De, and Da Xu, peerless geniuses who once had many choices—Yu Hua Sect, Qunxing Sect, Yiyuan Sect—now increasingly choose Yu Hua Sect, drawn by Fang Yu's legendary fame in the Dao Cultivation World and by his teachings within the sect, as well as his generous distribution of Bai Yang Elixirs and Nascent Soul Elixirs.

This is why the number of outer and inner sect disciples in Yu Hua Sect has grown so much.

Fang Yu observed the battles among Yu Hua Sect's disciples and indeed saw many geniuses—some male, some female—possessing special physiques. This was intriguing.

After all, the Huang Da World does not place as much emphasis on physiques as the Shrouding Heaven Realm does; even without a strong physique, one can alter their body by mastering powerful Divine Abilities.

For instance, mastering the Great Five Elements Art transforms one into the Five Elements Divine Body, the Five Elements Sacred Body.

Mastering the Great Devouring Art turns one into the Devouring Divine Body—far stronger than the Devouring Demon Art.

Mastering the Great Star Art makes one the Star Divine Body.

Mastering the Great Chaos Art turns one into the Chaos Body.

Physique is innate; Divine Ability is acquired. Acquired Divine Abilities can grant cultivators any kind of Divine Body—this is why physiques are not highly valued in the Huang Da World.
