Chapter 88: Chapter 88: The Legendary Genius Junior Ancestor VS White Lotus Outer Sect Junior Sister (Part 2)
Gu Shengyin paid no attention to what the Elder was thinking in his heart. Her body’s name was Gu Weixin, a direct line descendant of a super Prominent Family in the Tianlan Great World. Descendants of such Prominent Families always matured earlier than others, so her calm demeanor raised no suspicions.
Moreover, nobody knew Gu Weixin’s talent better than Gu Shengyin herself.
“Ice Heart Clarity, unstoppable in its advance. Tenth Rank Ice Soul Sword Heart!” As soon as the Elder finished speaking, except for a few naive children, all eyes in the grand hall fell upon Gu Shengyin.
Apart from that, several powerful Divine Senses from various parts of the Astrolabe Sword Sect descended upon Gu Shengyin.
The Elder responsible for testing Gu Shengyin seemed excited, as though he wanted to smile; however, his habitually expressionless face now seemed somewhat contorted.
He didn’t specify which branch Gu Shengyin could be assigned to but had her stand aside alone to wait.
Gu Shengyin still maintained a serene demeanor and walked to the side as instructed.
Watching her, the Elder thought to himself that this girl might not understand what a Tenth Rank Sword Heart represented, or else how could she remain so tranquil?
How could Gu Shengyin not know?
Sword Hearts are classified into ten ranks, the tenth being the highest quality. This body’s talent was the rare one in ten thousand, a Tenth Rank Sword Heart, and what’s even more precious was that it was the rare variant, Ice Soul Sword Heart.
Based on the Five Elements classification, the Ice Soul Sword Heart should belong to water, yet it was a mutation originating from the water attribute. A mutated Sword Heart not only allowed a Swordsman to attack more powerfully but also featured qualities not found in the regular Five Elements.
For example, once cultivated to a high rank, a single manifestation of Sword Intent of the Ice Soul Sword Heart could freeze thousands of miles.
The power of the Ice Soul Sword Heart didn’t stop there; its greatest trait was the Ice Heart Clarity, impervious to any dust.
In other words, Gu Weixin’s path in the Sword Dao would be untroubled by inner demons.
The greatest obstacle for a Sword Cultivator was, indeed, the inner demon.
With Gu Shengyin’s luster shining before them, everyone who came after her, no matter how talented or possessing high-rank Sword Hearts, was overshadowed. The high-ranking members of the Astrolabe Sword Sect were still focused on Gu Shengyin.
After all, a common High-Rank Swordsman, through diligent cultivation, could possibly become a Sword Emperor, a Sword Sovereign, and even a Sword Sect.
However, to become a peak Sword Saint, a Tenth Rank Sword Heart is an essential prerequisite!
The Astrolabe Sword Sect had no shortage of Sword Emperors, Sword Sovereigns, and even Sword Sects.
Yet, as for Sword Saint powerhouses, even given the Sect’s foundation, there were only a mere two. One of them had lived a long life and had closed off from worldly affairs for many years. Only those within the Sect’s upper echelons knew that this Supreme Elder was nearing the end of his lifespan.
These two Sword Saints were also the guarantors of the Astrolabe Sword Sect’s status.
Hence, the Astrolabe Sword Sect was in urgent need of a new Sword Saint to solidify its position.
Gu Shengyin stood among the Elders, watching as the hundreds of Disciples were assigned to different masters, with a few individuals with superior Sword Heart talent being taken as Direct Disciples by the main peak Elders. In the end, only she was left.
She stood quietly, saying nothing. To the others, she appeared to possess the natural composure of a grandmaster who remained unflustered no matter what.
In fact, Gu Shengyin was simply listening to the system explain about the so-called White Lotus Halo.
“It really is powerful!” Gu Shengyin marveled to herself. No wonder, with such god-like attributes, the original body still lost to Bai Xinya.
