The Shang Qing Sect is insanely capable with as many powerhouses as there are clouds. It is one of the controlling forces that dominates Yuezhou.

　　Naturally, there exists many different paths one can follow inside this extremely capable force. Or rather, there are many different roles its pupils and descendants get to choose and follow.

　　With the cultivation path as the most respectable and the main path, the Shang Qing Sect has four peaks in total and is a great place to cultivate. After all, capabilities is the reason why people can stand tall in the Taoism community.

　　Then, there are the paths of alchemy, crafts, and ancient arrays. Compared to the path of cultivation, these three paths are more lacking in status.

　　If a cultivator feels that he or she is more talented in one of these paths, he or she can pick one and join that one.

　　Therefore, when a new pupil was accepted, the four commanders of the four different divisions always come to the Path Choosing Pavilion and pick the pupil they want to bring back.

　　Currently, all the commanders have gathered and were waiting for the new pupil’s arrival. They have already gotten the news that an undefeatable Heaven’s Favorite of the meditational level appeared in this year’s test. Therefore, all four leaders, responsible for the four different peaks of the cultivation path all arrived.

　　The other three leaders also arrived, but they knew very well that for a Heaven’s Favorite with such talent in cultivation, they will not be chosen. Therefore, coming here today was just out of courtesy. They didn’t want to break any rules.

　　When Ling Xian walked into the great hall, the cultivation leaders glanced at him and searched him using his Qi.

　　The other three leaders did the same. There remained admiration in their eyes, just not as intensely as the four cultivation leaders.

　　“I am Xian Ling, it is a pleasure to meet all of you elders.” Ling Xian faintly smiled, and exclaimed.

　　He could recall all seven of these elders. Now that they were meeting again, he naturally felt the need to exclaim.

　　At this, a middle-aged man smiled in satisfaction. “Not arrogant, not cocky, not restrained; he has a great mentality.”

　　“That’s right. Mentality, capabilities, and talent wise, he is a top notch candidate and a great Heaven’s Favorite.” A stalky looking man with a round face compliments, “The pupil will be the Peak of Battle’s.”

　　At that, many people interrupted to argue.

　　The first one to speak was a proper looking woman. She glared at the round-faced man and said, “Don’t you know the rule of the Shang Qing Sect? All those who pass the test gets the right to choose. In other words, he gets to choose who he picks. It’s not us who pick which candidates we want.”

　　Then, she shifted her gaze towards Ling Xian and revealed a beautiful smile.

　　“Young man, come to the Peak of Sanit. I can provide you with powerful techniques, high quality Dans, and an endless amount of whatever resources you need.”

　　Hearing this, Ling Xian grinned but didn’t comment.

　　He had already predicted that after displaying his insane capabilities, he would snatch the attention of all four peak leaders. He originally did want to choose one of the four peaks in the cultivation path, but on the way here, he changed his mind.

　　Against the tempting offer made by the leader of the Peak of Saint, he didn’t answer right away.

　　Seeing this, the beautiful woman raised an eyebrow, resulting in all the other peaks’ leaders laughing.

　　“Young one, join the Peak of the God. Whatever she offered, I can give you even more. Whatever she cannot offer, I can give you also.” A man with an icy cold temperament spoke.

　　Then, the Peak of Dao leader also spoke. He didn’t say much, but they were hefty words.

　　“Come to the Peak of Dao. I will give you whatever you want.”

　　At his words, the other three peak leaders frowned. Though this statement was a little exaggerated, it was enough to prove the Dao Peak’s determination to have Ling Xian.

　　What could they do? His talent and capabilities were all good enough to be known as a real genius. Whichever wing receives him as a pupil receives a huge load of honor and glory. Naturally all four peak leaders desired him.

　　“What an exaggerated statement.”

　　The icy cold man pouted, “Though your peak is the most powerful, you have no rights to make such presumptuous words.”

　　“The Peak of Dao leader ignored him and instead, focused on Ling Xian, “Out of the four peaks in Shang Qing Sect, the Path of Dao has the strongest capabilities. That is something we can all agree on. So, you better think clearly which path do you want to get on so that it can make your cultivation journey full of potential?”

　　Ling Xian had a faint smile on his lips, but he remained silent.

　　He spent a handful of time at Shang Qing Sect and naturally knew very well the pros and cons of each of the four peaks. However, in terms of overall capabilities, or leader capabilities alone, the Dao Peak overruled the other ones.

　　Pity though, if the Immortal of Crafts didn’t awaken, he would’ve considered joining the Dao Peak. However, now he had plans to learn crafts. One, he wanted to take a break from going to places where war happens every day, for two, he wanted to learn some knowledge about crafts.

　　After all, if he went to any of the four peaks, his life would compose of fighting and battling. He was of the completion level. How could he bear fighting against a bunch of unskilled kids?

　　If he chooses the Path of Crafts and study all the different treasures, that would be different. Not only can he save the trouble of fighting against little kids, he can also absorb some knowledge – killing two birds with one stone.

　　“Xian Ling, there are many beauties at the Peak of Saint. If you come, you might get yourself a nice little companion.” The beautiful lady smiled, trying to entice Ling Xian with beauties.

　　“About that… thank you for your kind intentions, Saint Peak leader.” Ling Xian chuckled, shaking his head.

　　“Xian Ling, all four of peak leaders personally arrived just for you and made you so many promises.”

　　The Dao Peak leader spoke slowly, “I hope you can quickly make up your mind. Don’t worry, the Shang Qing Sect rules state that you can choose whichever path you want. No matter which peak you choose, I will not blame you.”

　　Pausing, he then added, “However, I do hope that you will think for your future and choose a place that suits your growth the most.”

　　Once again, the hidden meaning behind that was that he should choose the Dao Peak.

　　Sadly, Ling Xian’s final decision was not within the expectation of the Dao Peak leader, nor within the expectation of anyone there.

　　“I am grateful for all of your kind intentions. However, I have always been interested in craftsmanship. Therefore, I choose the Path of Crafts.”

　　At his words, everyone fell into awe.

　　The leader of the Path of Crafts in particular, was wide eyed and he really did not think Ling Xian would make such a decision.

　　He only came today to be courteous. He never thought he had the chance to acquire such a pupil. This was something obvious to everyone. A Heaven’s Favorite with Royal Leveled talent, and battling capabilities, why would he choose a path of profession?

　　Yet before his eyes, Ling Xian really did choose a profession. Why wouldn’t everyone there be shocked?

　　Luckily, nobody there was ordinary. After moments of shock, they regained their composure.

　　“Xian Ling, I hope you can think about this carefully. With your talent, if you choose a profession, then it’s a waste of talent.” The Dao Peak leader was expressionless, nobody could tell if he was happy or mad.

　　The other three peak leaders didn’t speak. However, their brows were tightly furrowed, revealing how they were feeling.

　　They didn’t want Ling Xian to pick a path of profession

　　Because it wasn’t just a waste of talent, it was him destroying his own path and future!

　　For someone with such talent in cultivation to choose a profession, anyone would think he was playing with his future.

　　However, Ling Xian didn’t think so.

　　He was already a completion leveled powerhouse and he wasn’t there in the Shang Qing Sect to cultivate. Plus, he had the inheritance from the Immortal of Crafts. If he doesn’t study, that would be a waste of an opportunity!

　　Therefore, Ling Xian made a very firm statement that angered the four peak leaders so much, they flapped their sleeves and left.

　　“I have made my final decision. Four peak leaders, please save your words.”
