My Ability Pool is Superior

“Haha, Lu Bai Kid, don’t be anxious, don’t be anxious.”

It seemed he heard Lu Bai’s inquiry from a great distance away.

Suddenly, on the distant Cang Dao Peak, a burst of laughter like a resounding bell and drum echoed, the sound booming like thunder.

The next second, a massive White Crane with a wingspan exceeding ten zhang shot up into the sky from Cang Dao Peak.

Looking closely, one could see a middle-aged Burly Man standing on the crane’s head, his feet as steady as if cast from copper and iron, standing firm even against the raging wind.

Covering a distance of some ten kilometers, the enormous White Crane brought a Hurricane with it, arriving in an instant.

When it landed, the wind pressure from the White Crane spreading its wings caused some disciples with weaker cultivation to stumble.

“Greetings, Elder Wang.”

“Elder Wang.”

The Qingwang Sect disciples below still respectfully saluted the middle-aged man, not daring to call him Wang the Gambler like they did with other elders.

Elder Wang appeared quite bold and forthright, waving his hand toward Lu Bai.

“Come on up.”

Led by Lu Bai, the more than a dozen Qingwang Sect disciples behind him also boarded the crane’s back one after another, sitting cross-legged.

After confirming all were present, Elder Wang whistled, and the White Crane intelligently spread its wings, carrying these nearly twenty people into the sky.

Watching the massive White Crane fly farther and farther away, turning into a black dot in the air.

Only after it was completely out of sight did Shi Qingyu reluctantly withdraw her gaze.

She turned to look at Sang Wen, who was like a Puppet, and said listlessly, “Let’s go, time to test your aptitude.”

Before her words had even finished, Sang Wen abruptly scattered to the ground.

Yes, just scattered to the ground.

Not like a human at all, without even any blood, more like a Puppet that had fallen apart, breaking into pieces of various sizes.

Caught completely off guard by this sight, Shi Qingyu was instantly frightened out of her wits.

The disciple guarding the gate was also dumbfounded.

“Shi… Junior Sister Shi, did you bring back a Puppet?”

……

【Ding!】

【Points +1, Current Rank 1/197】

Lu Bai sat cross-legged on the White Crane’s back, appearing to be meditating with eyes closed.

The mechanical prompt sound ringing in his mind didn’t even make him open his eyes.

After obtaining [Restore], he had countless ways to kill someone without anyone knowing, dealing with a Death Fighter whose ability he had already read was utterly trivial.

This massive White Crane clearly possessed some Wind Control talent.

Even though the current flight speed had reached a degree measured in Mach, the disciples sitting on the White Crane’s back felt at most a gentle breeze.

Not only would they not be blown off by the gale, it was actually quite comfortable.

Elder Wang waved his large hand, his voice carrying with the wind to every disciple’s ears.

“Everyone, rest well first and recover your energy. When we arrive, don’t tarnish our Qingwang Sect’s prestige.”

This trip was to attend the Dao Commencement Assembly.

Simply put, this so-called Dao Commencement Assembly was where the various sects in this area used the event as a pretext to showcase their talent reserves and foundation.

The protagonists of the assembly were naturally the disciples from the various sects.

It should be noted that this world had no mortal regimes like nations or dynasties.

After all, with greatness belonging to oneself, where individuals could summon wind and rain or burn mountains and boil seas, mortal regimes were nothing but a joke.

Resource allocation, law, even marriage and funerals—all of it was dictated by the Immortal Sect in the local position.

This inevitably led to conflict between Immortal Sects.

And once Immortal Sects went to war, the result would be tragic to an unimaginable degree.

The high-and-mighty cultivators pursued

To avoid fighting desperately with one’s life like a mud-legged peasant, a series of rules had to be established to reduce the intensity of conflicts.

Among these, various assemblies play a part in resolving conflicts.

The Dao Commencement Assembly is one of them.

It is mainly to have disciples under thirty from each Immortal Sect come to conduct Spellcasting Battles.

The level of the Spellcasting Battle was not high, but the degree of importance from all sides was not low either.

After all, young talent represents the future. Through the performance of the younger generation, one can somewhat judge the future appearance of the sect.

Actually, logically speaking, Lu Bai had only been in the sect for a full week at most. For this Dao Commencement Assembly, Qingwang Sect originally had no intention of letting Lu Bai participate.

Yu Xu Zi wanted Lu Bai to focus on cultivation for ten years first, then emerge and make a name for himself.

However, Lu Bai’s cultivation progress was so fast that it caught him off guard.

First day of cultivation, mid Foundation Establishment.

Second day of cultivation, late Foundation Establishment.

Third day of cultivation, already preparing for Core Formation.

Such exaggerated cultivation speed made Yu Xu Zi terrified.

For other disciples, he urged them to cultivate, but with Lu Bai, this Sect Leader instead asked every day if they should take a break.

It was really too fast; this realm advancement was simpler than eating and drinking, and Yu Xu Zi worried that Lu Bai’s mental state couldn’t keep up with his cultivation, and he might suddenly suffer cultivation deviation one day.

Helplessly, he could only use the Dao Commencement Assembly as an excuse to have Lu Bai go out with Elder Wang for a stroll to calm down.

……

The venue for the Dao Commencement Assembly is not fixed; if the previous one was held at Qingwang Sect’s mountain gate, this one would switch to another sect.

As for this session’s venue, it was Purple Cloud Villa.

Half a day passed.

Elder Wang suddenly stood up: “Everyone, we’re about to arrive at the venue.”

In fact, without Elder Wang’s reminder, anyone with eyes could see that many factions had appeared around, with figures milling about, truly a gathering from all directions.

Looking around, there were flood dragons with scales gleaming coldly swimming through the air, spanning the sky.

Massive flying shuttles like molten iron casts, crowded with cultivators on top.

Ancient and majestic golden war chariots rumbling as they crushed forward.

Below, in front of Purple Cloud Villa’s gate, the villa master and steward personally stood outside to welcome them, showing sufficient respect.

After all, the leaders from various immortal sects were elders and renowned figures; if these great powers were all offended, even though Purple Cloud Villa was an immortal sect, these great powers could join forces and destroy it without much effort.

“Brother Yun, long time no see. Seeing your complexion, your cultivation has advanced further, hasn’t it?”

“Where where, I’ve been in seclusion for over ten years and only came out recently. Learning that this Dao Commencement Assembly is at your Purple Cloud Villa, I naturally brought my Tai Shi Sect disciples to join the fun.”

“Fellow Daoist Li, since parting at Tai Xuan Holy Land, seeing you have now stepped into late Spirit Transformation realm truly makes me ashamed.”

After landing, the high-level officials from various immortal sects began greeting each other warmly, the scene very lively.

On the other side, disciples from various immortal sects gradually gathered, conversing and inquiring about which geniuses to watch out for this time.

Lu Bai, however, did not squeeze into the crowd of immortal sect disciples, but stood on the side, trying to identify the death fighters mixed in among them.
