Facing the question, Tian Jia answered after pondering for a short moment. "To become an upper realm, we need to produce at least two Divine Emperors…."
Before she could finish her sentence, Tian Yuhan interrupted her. "So, you're saying we lack talent?"
She didn't give Tian Jia a chance as she said further. "As the Heaven Palace Master yourself, how many people have you seen so far? And how many talented people are among them?"
Tian Jia bit her lips and asked. "What is Sect Master trying to tell us? And this servant didn't see anything related to Lin Tian here. Please enlighten us."
Tian Yuhan looked into the distance and said. "Our Heavenhold Sect has existed for over a hundred thousand years but cannot produce a single Divine Emperor. This is a lifelong regret of all the previous generation sect masters, and it will soon be mine."
"Many people here believe I am the most talented sect master in history, but even so, I cannot step into the Divine Emperor Realm. What about all of you here? Are you better than me?"
Silence descended once again. All the disciples below lowered their heads in shame in front of such a question. Were they better than Tian Yuhan? The answer was, of course, not.
From the beginning to the end, they had never thought they could reach the Divine Emperor Realm in their life, and the Divine Sovereign Realm gradually became their highest goal.
Tian Yuhan continued. "Do you all know how I feel every time I participate in an event in the Divine Realm? Our Heavenhold Realm is actually no different from the lower realm stars in front of those upper realms. Even their deacon can look down upon us."
"Many of you here should have experienced it before. When you went to the secret realms, how did they look at you?"
Everyone lowered their head further, and some of them subconsciously clenched their fists. How could they not know it? Whenever they faced the upper realm's people, they had to bow their heads and give up on whatever treasures they found. No matter how unwilling they were, it was impossible to fight back. They would never forget this feeling for the rest of their life.
Tian Yuhan's gaze landed on Tian Jia as she asked. "Do you have the ability to step into the Divine Emperor Realm?"
Tian Jia's lips moved several times, but no words came out. No matter how arrogant she was, she wasn't confident enough to say she would become a Divine Emperor one day.
Tian Yuhan shook her head and said sadly. "I don't have the ability as well."
"No, Sect Master. This servant believes that you will definitely reach the Divine Emperor Realm." Tian Xiaoli suddenly spoke out.
"Yes. Please don't belittle yourself, Sect Master." Other peak masters also followed.
Tian Yuhan glanced at them and said. "I have been stuck in this realm for more than three thousand years. I know myself very well that I have no chance in this life."
She paused briefly and said further. "It's not just talent we don't have, but also resources. Our sect always tries to be self-sufficient, relying on ourselves as much as possible, which I do not doubt. However, I came to a realization that if we want to develop better, a connection is needed."
Tian Yuhan pointed at Yun Lintian and said. "He has both talent and connection, which we urgently need."
Yun Lintian took a deep look at Tian Yuhan. He seemed to understand why she was so adamant about testing his strength before accepting him. Clearly, she wanted someone to lead the Heavenhold Sect to become an upper realm.
Meanwhile, everyone in the Sacred Hall raised their head to look at Yun Lintian. Now, they fully understood why Tian Yuhan wanted to accept him as her direct disciple. He had immense potential, and his connections could provide important resources to the sect.
No matter how they looked at it, Yun Lintian was unquestionably the most suitable candidate.
Tian Jia's expression became unsightly. She wanted to say something, but Tian Yuhan spoke first. "Don't talk about the tradition here because it gives nothing to the sect. I also want you to ask yourself. Are you truly doing this for the sect?"
Tian Jia swallowed everything back. Did she do it for the sect? Obviously not. She just didn't want to see Yun Lintian become Tian Yuhan's direct disciple.
Tian Yuhan looked at Tian Jia deeply and said plainly. "As a sect master, I will do everything to make our sect better… I don't mind removing a boulder that obstructs my way."
Tian Jia shuddered involuntarily upon hearing this. She didn't doubt Tian Yuhan's words at all because Tian Yuhan always did what she said. If Tian Jia insisted further, she would certainly die here.
Seeing Tian Jia remain silent, Tian Yuhan looked at the crowd and asked. "Does anyone want to stop me again?"
"Congratulations to Sect Master on having accepted such a rare talent!" Tian Shaoqing, who had yet to leave, was the first one to speak.
Everyone immediately followed suit. The voices were so loud that they caused the entire Sacred Hall to shake.
"What about you?" Tian Yuhan glanced at Tian Jia and asked calmly.
Tian Jia let out a long breath and said. "Congratulations, Sect Master. I was too narrow-minded. Please forgive this servant."
Tian Yuhan said gently. "I appointed you as the Heaven Palace Master because I wanted you to see the truth that our sect needs talents. As long as you know this, you will understand there's no point in suppressing others for personal benefit. At the end of the day, the enemy is not our people, but those people up there."
Tian Jia bowed deeply and said solemnly. "This servant fully understands now. Thank you for waking me up."
Tian Yuhan turned to Yun Lintian and said. "Serve the tea."
"Yes." Yun Lintian quickly brought a cup of tea over and handed it to Tian Yuhan, finally completing the ceremony.
Tian Yuhan took a sip of tea and said. "From now on, you are my, Tian Yuhan, disciple. I hope you can bring our Heavenhold Sect to the glory."
"I'll try my best." Yun Lintian responded solemnly.
An idea appeared in his mind at this moment. Perhaps he could help Tian Yuhan step into the Divine Emperor Realm?
