Starting as a Grandmaster, all of my cultivation techniques are at max level.

With a wave of its hand, the illusory figure emitted several soft beams of light from between the eyebrows of the white jade statue, which landed on Xia Jin and the others.

"Hmm!? What's going on?" Xia Jin frowned slightly, feeling the warm light enveloping her entire body.

Immediately, a wave of probing energy followed the light and quietly seeped into his brow, reaching the depths of his consciousness.

The fluctuation circulated within Xia Jin's sea of ​​consciousness, clearly attempting to probe his spiritual foundation and innate talent.

Xia Jin's mind raced, and she did not resist. Instead, she secretly hid the incomplete Eastern Emperor Bell at the top of her soul into the depths of her sea of ​​consciousness, concealing it with a faint barrier, allowing the fluctuations to wander and explore her soul.

A moment later, the probing fluctuations receded slowly like the tide, and the light enveloping everyone also dissipated.

Xia Jin opened her eyes and looked calmly at the illusory figure of the Great Hall Master in front of her.

Chu Hou, Yang Qingxuan, and the others soon opened their eyes one after another, but their expressions were far less composed than Xia Jin's.

The Marquis of Chu looked expectant, while Yang Qingxuan was somewhat uneasy. The remaining Wu Feng and the others were even more nervous, with beads of sweat appearing on their foreheads as they nervously looked at the illusory figure of the Grand Hall Master.

Seeing that the investigation was over, the Second Hall Master, Zhan Tiangang, glanced at Xia Jin and the others, then stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and asked, "Grand Hall Master, which disciples will you be selecting this time?"

His tone carried a hint of concern, clearly indicating that he also hoped that more of the disciples he brought would be selected.

The illusory figure of the Great Hall Master stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes seemingly calculating.

After waiting for several breaths, a faint smile appeared on the otherwise indifferent face of the phantom.

He raised his hand, first pointing at Xia Jin, then turning to Chu Hou, and finally nodding to the Second Palace Master: "These two little ones are the ones chosen to go to the Mirage Realm this time."

Upon hearing this, an barely suppressed excitement flashed in the eyes of the Marquis of Chu, but he was always composed and, being the eldest among them, he did not reveal much of his joy on his face.

He took a deep breath and bowed deeply to the illusory figure of the Grand Hall Master, "Disciple Chu Hou thanks the Grand Hall Master!!"

Xia Jin, standing to the side, showed little surprise. After all, in his view, if he wasn't chosen, then no one else could be!

A slight smile played on his lips as he, like Marquis Chu, bowed to the illusory figure of the Grand Hall Master. "Disciple Xia Jin thanks the Grand Hall Master!"

Meanwhile, Yang Qingxuan and the others standing to the side all showed a look of dejection on their faces at the same time.

"As expected, compared to Senior Brother Chu and Junior Brother Xia, we are still far behind!" Yang Qingxuan shook his head as if he had expected this, and sighed.

Wu Feng and Zhou Chu, who were standing next to him, exchanged a glance and then gave a wry smile, as if they had resigned themselves to their fate.

But they also knew in their hearts that, in terms of both talent and strength, they were indeed far inferior to Boss Chu and Junior Brother Xia.

Although it was regrettable that I was not selected, it was also within expectations.

The illusory figure of the Grand Hall Master naturally took in the expressions of Yang Qingxuan and the others. His tone softened slightly as he said calmly, "Although you cannot accompany me to the Mirage Realm, you have still rendered meritorious service in this battle against the alien races. I will not let you return empty-handed. There are additional rewards for you."

After saying that, he raised his hand and pointed lightly at Yang Qingxuan and the others.

A ray of light shot out from between the eyebrows of the white jade statue, transforming into several streams of light that entered the eyebrows of Yang Qingxuan and the other three people, Zhou Chu, and others.

The four of them trembled slightly, and after a few breaths, their eyes simultaneously lit up with ecstatic joy.

"These insights into cultivation are some of my early experiences. They may not seem like much, but if you can understand them, they might help you advance further," the illusory figure of the Great Hall Master said calmly. "As for how far you can go, that depends on your individual fortune."

This was nothing to him, but for Yang Qingxuan and the others who were still stuck at the peak of the Creation Realm, it was an extremely precious opportunity.

Yang Qingxuan was the first to come to his senses, his dejected expression vanishing and replaced by barely concealed excitement.

He clasped his hands in a fist and bowed deeply to the illusory figure. "Thank you, Great Hall Master! This disciple... this disciple will certainly devote himself to studying and comprehending, and live up to the Great Hall Master's grace!"

Wu Feng, Li Zhan, and Zhou Chu quickly followed suit and bowed, their eyes, which had dimmed, brightened again.

They all understood that their desire to go to the Mirage Realm was ultimately to find an opportunity for breakthrough. Now that the Grand Hall Master had personally bestowed upon them cultivation insights, this opportunity might be a better choice for them than going to the Mirage Realm.

"These lads seem to have a better mindset than I expected."

The Second Palace Master, Zhan Tiangang, watched this scene, nodded slightly, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

He turned to look at Xia Jin and Chu Hou, and said in a deep voice, "Now that you two have been chosen by the Grand Hall Master, you must prepare well. The Mirage Realm is not like my Divine Palace; you must be cautious in everything you do."

Having said that, he turned to the illusory figure of the Grand Hall Master, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and asked, "Grand Hall Master, when do you plan to set off with these two?"

The illusory figure of the Grand Hall Master looked at Xia Jin and the other person, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"We will set off in three days."

......

After leaving that mysterious space and returning to the Third Heaven...

Yang Qingxuan turned around first, smiling at Chu Hou and Xia Jin, and said, "Senior Brother Chu, Junior Brother Xia, congratulations to you two! Having such an opportunity to accompany the Grand Hall Master to the Mirage Realm is truly a great fortune!"

Marquis Chu nodded slightly and patted Yang Qingxuan on the shoulder: "Qingxuan, I take your good wishes to heart. I hope that in the future, we, fellow disciples, will have the opportunity to meet again in the Mirage Realm."

"Okay!!" Yang Qingxuan nodded heavily.

Wu Feng, Li Zhan, and Zhou Chu also gathered around, offering their congratulations to Marquis Chu and Xia Jin in a flurry of voices.

Li Zhan, reeking of alcohol, said with a grin, "Brother Chu, Junior Brother Xia, don't forget about us fellow disciples when you leave! We'll need your help when we go to the Mirage Realm!"

"Don't worry, fellow disciples. If that day ever comes, we brothers will naturally look after each other."

As they were talking, the Second Palace Master walked over and his gaze swept over the group.

He coughed lightly: "You lot don't need to be too discouraged. Now that you've gained some cultivation insights from the Grand Hall Master, you're not entirely without a chance to enter the Mirage Cloud Realm."

"If any of you can break through to the Creation Realm, the Grand Hall Master may still give you a chance to enter the Mirage Cloud Realm."

"Thank you for your guidance, Second Hall Master! This disciple will certainly work even harder to live up to your expectations!"

After hearing this, Yang Qingxuan and the others were also invigorated.

The Second Palace Master looked at the group and nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"Second Palace Master, I have a request, but I don't know if you can grant it?" Just then, Xia Jin stepped forward and spoke hesitantly to the Second Palace Master.

"Hmm? What's up, kid? Speak freely." The Second Palace Master looked at Xia Jin, who seemed hesitant to speak, with suspicion.

Xia Jin pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "I still have several relatives in the Eastern Xuan Continent. I'm going to the Mirage Realm, and I don't know when I'll be able to return. If they..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Second Palace Master raised his hand and interrupted him with a smile: "Alright, alright, I thought you were going to say something, but it's just a small matter."

Xia Jin was slightly taken aback and looked up at the Second Palace Master.
