Chapter 1030: Chapter 1030: Immortal Mother Reincarnation?
White Profound Race?
Jiang Cheng had always been deeply concerned about what became of the Xuan Race after the appearance of the Primordial Immortal Realm.
Now he saw that the Xuan Race people seemed to have already integrated into the Primordial Immortal Realm.
But this was not surprising, given that according to the Immortal Mother’s words, the Heavenly Dao of the Profound Realm had split off from the Immortal Realm.
The two were originally one.
He squinted his eyes and looked toward the high platform.
He saw a tall woman in a simple white dress slowly step into the array.
Her jet-black hair was like a waterfall, with a crimson gold hairpin adorned with a ruby in the clouded tresses, a delicate thin sword hanging at her waist, and floral patterned shoes under her long skirt, complementing her dainty celestial feet.
What captivated was still her indescribable beauty, mixed with a touch of sacred aura on her face.
Her Emperor Realm Fifth Layer power surely wouldn’t even rank within the top billion of the Primordial Immortal Realm.
But if she stood among other top-tier talents, any mortal from the Lower Realm would likely think she was the true fairy that appeared in their dreams.
Even Jiang Cheng, who was used to seeing beautiful women, couldn’t help but let his gaze linger for a few seconds to show his respect for such beauty.
"This girl’s looks... are quite high!"
"Completely comparable to Cang Ling and Miao Yu’s level."
Bear in mind, those two used to be among the five greatest beauties of the Immortal Realm.
Qiu Yuxuan’s testing began quickly.
The initial test was of her realm and talent.
Her Emperor Realm Fifth Layer stood second only to the Emperor Realm Sixth Layer elder on the high platform in this Abandoned Land.
Her talent was even more astonishing.
Her bone structure, aptitude, and comprehension were all rated at the highest limits detectable by the Immortal Array.
The exclamations from below the stage had not stopped from the beginning.
Everyone was looking at her with expressions of awe and admiration.
"No wonder it’s Qiu Yuxuan!"
"It’s a pity she was born at the wrong time, placed in this Abandoned Land at birth, or else she wouldn’t be at her current realm!"
"Needless to say, if it were the past, she’d be someone every top-tier Sect would fight over, and we wouldn’t even be qualified to see the same sky as her..."
Someone nearby slightly changed their expression and hurriedly interrupted, "Don’t talk nonsense."
"Exactly! What’s past, what’s a Sect, we’ve never heard of it."
Their expressions were discreet, clearly afraid to discuss matters related to the Celestial Palace.
Soon, Qiu Yuxuan entered the Celestial Heart testing phase.
Not long after, six golden rings lit up on the high platform!
With that, the entire audience erupted into madness.
"Golden!"
"And six golden rings at that!"
"This is a Tier Six Immortal Grade Celestial Heart!"
Tier Six refers to the quality level of the Daoist Heart, which is mainly tied to talent and is very useful in combat, thus very meaningful.
As for the Immortal Grade, it refers to one’s devotion to the Heavenly Dao, the so-called Celestial Heart.
According to the Celestial Palace’s tier evaluation, after Lower, Middle, and Upper Third Grades, comes the Spirit Grade, Saint Grade, and finally the Immortal Grade.
Although people have heard of this level of Celestial Heart, it’s the first time they’ve seen it in their lifetime.
"It’s unbelievable!"
"This... such unlimited potential!"
"A future leader of the Immortal Palace!"
"Absolutely, she will definitely find her place in the Immortal Palace!"
Listening to the crowd’s discussions, even Brother Cheng couldn’t help but admire.
"In this mere million-mile range of Abandoned Land, such high-level talent appears; indeed, a descendant of our White Profound Race."
After saying this, his heart suddenly felt slightly startled.
Could it be that this Qiu Yuxuan is the reincarnation of the Immortal Mother?
This kind of intuition wasn’t unfounded.
The sole purpose of the Immortal Mother’s reincarnation is to kill him.
With the Immortal Mother’s schemes and the mysterious arrangements of the Heavenly Dao, it was highly likely that upon his return to the Primordial Immortal Realm, he would encounter her immediately.
After all, the Heavenly Dao acts with a sense of destiny.
The legendary ’arch-nemesis’ often meets with a fateful encounter.
Getting close to him, forming a relationship, gaining his trust, and then suddenly backstabbing him?
The Immortal Mother reincarnated, and her talent naturally must be top-tier.
It’s one thing for Qiu Yuxuan to have prodigious talent, but her loyalty to the Heavenly Dao was off the charts.
To say who in the world is the most devoted to the Heavenly Dao, apart from the Celestial Dao Supreme Treasure, who else could it be?
Lastly, upon closer inspection of this woman’s eyebrows and eyes, she indeed had a trace of the Immortal Mother’s grace, more and more resembling her.
This led the usually unthinking Brother Cheng to ponder rarely.
On that high platform, as soon as Qiu Yuxuan stepped out of the Testing Immortal Array, a large group of experts surrounded her.
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
"Qiu Yuxuan, your Celestial Heart is truly unparalleled in the world!"
"Who would’ve thought that in our Abandoned Land, someone with heavenly talent like you would emerge!"
"How astounding..."
The flattery was as plentiful as waves, while Qiu Yuxuan’s expression remained calm, without the slightest ripple.
She slowly raised her head and looked at the elder sitting above at the Emperor Realm Sixth Layer.
That was a senior of their White Profound Race.
Also, her only ’family’ in this area.
To maintain the so-called order, the Celestial Palace allows the existence of families but prohibits the expansive and intricately rooted large cultivation families.
Because once these families grow, they might threaten the rule of the Celestial Palace.
Similarly, there are cultivation sects.
So, according to the Celestial Palace’s rules, newborns would be assigned to random Abandoned Lands.
Although in these Abandoned Lands, there are also specific nurturing initiatives for these infants when young, most fend for themselves after maturity.
Qiu Yuxuan was very fortunate. On her first day here, she was adopted by Granny Qiu.
And Granny Qiu is the combat strength pinnacle of this Abandoned Land, Emperor Realm Sixth Layer, with immense prestige.
With her protection, Qiu Yuxuan’s growth was smooth.
Granny Qiu is said to hail from an ancient group called the White Profound Race, hence Qiu Yuxuan underwent a special White Profound ritual as a child and possessed the White Profound mark.
Becoming a member of the White Profound Race.
Granny Qiu always valued her talent greatly, often mentioning that if it were the past, she would be undoubtedly the Saintess, the next Great Hall Master.
Qiu Yuxuan didn’t know the significance of being a Saintess of the White Profound Race; here, there were just the two of them; what difference would it make being a Great Hall Master?
However, she knew Granny Qiu treated her very well, like a grandparent and grandchild.
Now that she had achieved outstanding results, her first reaction was naturally to see her gratified expression, like a granddaughter hoping for her grandmother’s praise.
To her surprise, the usually doting Granny Qiu had a rather indifferent look this time, merely nodding slightly without a hint of joy.
This was expected, as the Xuan Race worships the God of the Xuan Race in the Divine Hall.
Given Qiu Yuxuan’s extreme display of devotion to the Heavenly Dao during the test, one could imagine her indifference to Granny Qiu’s frequent mentions of the Divine Hall and the White Profound God.
For Granny Qiu, who always saw her as the White Profound Race’s hope, this counted as betrayal to the extreme.
Being able to remain calm and nod was already considered very indulgent of her.
