Chapter 1508: Chapter 435: Unstoppable Momentum, Lu Changsheng Ranks First!
"The nineteenth layer, that’s where one’s rating can be elevated to ’top-tier genius’ level. For thousands of years, no new disciple from our Heavenly Light Saint Sect has reached the ’top-tier genius’ rating."
"Is breaking the nineteenth layer really that easy?"
"Right now, Lu Changsheng is already the first in this assessment, and no one from the other assessment channels has broken through the sixteenth layer."
Basically, all the disciples from Heavenly Light Saint Sect turned their gaze towards Lu Changsheng.
They were no longer paying attention to anyone else.
Lu Changsheng broke through the sixteenth layer like a hot knife through butter.
It had already taken the power of four hundred thousand clones.
The fusion of all four hundred thousand clones together, plus the Void Realm, was what passed the sixteenth layer assessment.
Reaching the seventeenth layer, Lu Changsheng held nothing back and fully merged forty-five hundred thousand clones, which was all his clone power.
Only then did he pass the seventeenth layer.
Upon reaching the eighteenth layer, Lu Changsheng fought fiercely for a full one hour each day before barely passing the eighteenth layer.
"Do you wish to continue the assessment?"
Lu Changsheng fell silent.
He had barely passed the eighteenth layer.
The nineteenth layer was bound to be even more perilous.
If he were to forcefully attempt the nineteenth layer, he might be in danger.
"If it were possible to cultivate here, I could train more clones. Then with more clones, I would surely be able to break through the nineteenth layer, but now..."
Lu Changsheng thought for a while and eventually gave up.
It takes him a year to cultivate ten thousand clones.
If cultivating one hundred thousand clones, that would take ten years.
Would he really stay in the assessment channel for ten years just for the assessment?
That is simply impossible.
The assessment has time limits.
You can’t stay in the assessment channel forever.
"No."
Lu Changsheng spoke up.
He decided not to continue the assessment.
In the end, Lu Changsheng stopped at the eighteenth layer.
Although he passed through the eighteenth layer, he did not aim to break through the nineteenth layer.
Seeing Lu Changsheng give up, there was an uproar among the disciples of Heavenly Light Saint Sect.
They all felt it was somewhat unfortunate.
"He already broke through the eighteenth layer, why didn’t he try harder to break through the nineteenth layer?"
"Perhaps he doesn’t know what breaking the nineteenth layer means; once you break through, it can elevate your rating."
"How many years has it been since a new disciple assessment in our Heavenly Light Saint Sect resulted in a ’top-tier genius’ rating?"
"It seems like hundreds of years have passed without a new disciple achieving a top-tier genius rating. This time, Lu Changsheng was the closest to a top-tier genius rating, what a pity..."
In Heavenly Light Saint Sect, ratings are very important.
In a sense, the weaker the cultivation, the easier it is to elevate the rating.
The higher the cultivation, the more difficult the rating becomes.
The reason is simple.
Rating is a competition among those of the same cultivation level.
The higher the cultivation, the more geniuses there are.
Achieving a rating feels like reaching for the sky.
However, it’s too late to say anything now.
Lu Changsheng has already been transferred out of the fourth assessment channel.
He glanced around.
Many cultivators had already gathered around him.
Most looked dejected and unwilling.
It was clear that many had not managed to break through the ninth layer.
But Lu Changsheng had surpassed the ninth layer.
Naturally, he was capable of becoming a disciple of the Heavenly Light Saint Sect, so there was nothing to worry about.
However, upon his exit, he discovered that nearly everyone’s gaze was fixed on him.
Each one was incredibly amazed.
"It’s him, Lu Changsheng from the fourth assessment channel."
"Lu Changsheng broke through the eighteenth layer assessment, he’s the first in this new disciple assessment!"
"He’s temporarily ranked first, after all, the assessment hasn’t ended yet, others haven’t taken the test."
"What a pity, he broke through the eighteenth layer but didn’t attempt the nineteenth layer. Does he not understand the importance of passing the nineteenth layer? It could elevate his rating."
"Perhaps he truly doesn’t know, especially if he’s from some barbaric region, how could he know the affairs of Heavenly Light Saint Sect?"
"It’s really a pity..."
Lu Changsheng listened to the discussions around him, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
It seemed everyone was expressing regret on his behalf.
Passing the nineteenth layer seemed to be quite different?
"Swish."
At that moment, a disciple from Heavenly Light Saint Sect approached Lu Changsheng.
"Lu Changsheng, you’ve passed the eighteenth layer assessment and can become a disciple of Heavenly Light Saint Sect, come with me."
Lu Changsheng nodded and promptly followed behind the disciple.
The two quickly flew to a structure deep within the void.
The disciple couldn’t help but say, "Lu Changsheng, it’s really a pity. If you had managed to break the nineteenth layer, you could have elevated your rating. This is of tremendous benefit within Heavenly Light Saint Sect."
"Elevate the rating?"
Various thoughts flashed through Lu Changsheng’s mind.
This was not his first time hearing about "rating."
It seemed this "rating" was quite significant.
However, it appeared that Lu Changsheng was just one step away from elevating his rating, but giving it up seemed regrettable. Yet Lu Changsheng didn’t feel any regret.
Other people might only see him as just one step away from elevating his rating, even choosing to give up.
But in reality, Lu Changsheng truly had no other option.
That was his limit.
If he attempted the nineteenth layer, he might face danger.
One must make sacrifices to gain.
A decision had to be made.
His strength was like that; he couldn’t pass the nineteenth layer assessment, so there was nothing to feel regret about.
Soon, Lu Changsheng arrived at the Deacon Department, registered, and received his Identity Jade Token.
Lu Changsheng thus officially became a disciple of Heavenly Light Saint Sect.
Lu Changsheng looked at the Cave Mansion location he received.
Then he went there himself to find the Cave Mansion.
The location of the Cave Mansion was quite good.
Lu Changsheng used his Identity Jade Token to enter the Cave Mansion and settled in completely.
He carefully examined the common knowledge about Heavenly Light Saint Sect within the Cave Mansion.
Afterwards, he saw the "rating."
It turned out that rating was indeed of paramount importance within Heavenly Light Saint Sect.
Many precious resources can only be purchased once a rating is achieved.
Furthermore, many precious commodities can be prioritized for purchase if the rating is high.
Even the permissions for viewing differ.
Many materials can only be viewed by those with a high rating, while a low rating would not even allow you to see what the items are.
In short, within Heavenly Light Saint Sect, rating means everything.
All materials, including Cultivation Techniques and Treasure, are prioritized for disciples with a high rating.
"So that’s how it is..."
"Rating is so significant, and once the nineteenth layer is passed, the rating can be elevated to the ’top-tier genius’ level."
Lu Changsheng realized.
In Heavenly Light Saint Sect, ratings have five tiers: ordinary, top-tier, peerless, prodigy, and supreme.
Passing the nineteenth layer means reaching the top-tier level; below the nineteenth layer is all ordinary level.
Of course, even being ordinary is considered a top-tier genius across Baihua Domain.
After all, the requirements of Heavenly Light Saint Sect itself are very high.
Every disciple they recruit is a genius.
But within Heavenly Light Saint Sect, rating is about choosing the best of the best.
"Wait a minute, can ratings be pursued at any time?"
"The nine assessment channels are essentially nine rating channels; anyone who can break through the nineteenth layer is top-tier rating."
"However, once cultivation is elevated, the rating returns to ordinary. You’ll need to re-evaluate in the corresponding cultivation channel."
Lu Changsheng gradually understood the ’rating’ system in Heavenly Light Saint Sect.
What a challenge.
Every minor Realm upgrade requires re-evaluation.
Lu Changsheng could easily imagine how fiercely competitive it was within Heavenly Light Saint Sect.
Countless disciples were madly enhancing their strength for ratings.
"If it’s just the nineteenth layer, it wouldn’t be difficult for me. I only need to train more clones..."
Lu Changsheng’s eyes lit up.
Even if he missed the opportunity to elevate his rating during the new disciple assessment.
Now, it’s not too late.
He simply needs time to cultivate clones.
In the assessment channel, Lu Changsheng acquired plenty of powerful flesh and blood.
It’s more than enough for cultivating clones.
Thus, Lu Changsheng immediately began cultivating clones.
Improve the rating first, and then proceed onwards.
