The Sword God of the Universe-Chapter 974: Excited Chief

Luo Jiu Divine Palace consists of a total of ninety-nine departments, and the Qingmu Department is just one of them.

Their function is straightforward: to identify promising newcomers and recommend them to the Assessment Department. If a department’s recommendations pass the assessment and successfully ascend to the next palace, the recommending department is credited for it.

Among the Nine Palaces, from the First Palace to the Seventh Palace, there are various departmental institutions.

This Gong Luo is the director of the Qingmu Department in the First Palace, and he is also the person in charge of the Qingmu Department in the First Palace. Under him, there are several deacons and other staff members.

As the director of the Qingmu Department, if Gong Luo can identify excellent newcomers, he can accumulate merits and potentially be promoted to the Qingmu Department in the Second Palace, significantly elevating his status.

Director Gong Luo has always maintained a good personal relationship with Elder Bao Tong. For this assessment, Gong Luo specifically asked Bao Tong to keep an eye out for promising talents, and if found, to inform him in advance, giving him a heads-up.

Although, before the assessment, those martial artists about to participate in the selection assessment are not yet members of the Luo Jiu Divine Palace. However, if Elder Bao Tong focuses on them, their abilities are hardly a problem for passing the assessment.

If Gong Luo can find out about such talents beforehand, he can make contact before the selection assessment and extend an olive branch, gaining an early advantage.

Because, after the assessment, many departments are bound to show interest in newcomers who perform well. At that time, the Qingmu Department will lose its edge. Qingmu Department ranks lower among the ninety-nine departments, not only compared to those ranked higher but even compared to those in the middle, it has no advantage.

"No hurry, sit down and chat first." Elder Bao Tong smiled slightly and said to Director Gong Luo.

"Old friend, stop keeping me in suspense." Gong Luo shook his head, but he still walked over and sat down.

"Quickly, tell me, have you found a promising talent? If so, I need to make contact before the assessment and recruit them." As soon as he sat down, Gong Luo urged again.

"Indeed, today a promising talent did show up." Bao Tong also put away his smile and looked at Gong Luo.

"This talent is a native martial artist, just ascended from a low-class world and was guided by the Divine Hall of Ascension." Bao Tong continued.

"Ascending from a low-class world? How is it?" Gong Luo’s eyes brightened.

Martial artists ascending from low-class worlds have a higher chance of possessing high talent.

"Age of a hundred and sixty." Bao Tong squinted his eyes.

"So young?"

"A hundred and sixty years old and able to ascend from a low-class world to the God Realm? Tsk, tsk, indeed impressive. Among those martial artists participating in this selection assessment, it’s hard to find someone even younger. Importantly, he comes from a low-class world." Gong Luo became instantly interested.

Finding a promising talent is indeed not easy.

Because those more renowned martial artists participating in the selection assessment have long been targeted and approached by various departments. Although the Qingmu Department under Gong Luo’s charge made contact, results were minimal. Now, through Elder Bao Tong’s connection, it feels like catching a lucky break.

Let alone a top-tier genius, even finding a second-tier genius would be great. As long as he ranks in the top hundred in the assessment, it’s like hitting the jackpot.

"Of course he’s impressive, otherwise why would I call you over?" Elder Bao Tong glared.

"However, merely that alone is not reason enough for me to have you come personally." Then, Elder Bao Tong changed his tone.

"What do you mean?" Gong Luo’s expression slightly altered, "Could it be that another department has already noticed this young native?"

Gong Luo’s expression turned a bit tense.

"No!" Bao Tong lowered his voice a bit, "This native martial artist, named Jing Yan, has the assessment number six-three-three-five-two-nine."

Martial artists registered for the selection assessment each have a unique number. Jing Yan’s number is six-three-three-five-two-nine, marked on the assessment token.

"Old friend, pay attention. People from the Divine Hall guiding them told me that after Jing Yan arrived at the God Realm, he absorbed Chaos Qi for nearly forty hours. If their words hold true, this Jing Yan is certainly a remarkable young genius. His participation in the assessment, ranking in the top hundred is likely not an issue. Ranking in the top fifteen might also be possible."

"What?" Gong Luo was stunned directly.

Absorb Chaos Qi for three days?

So outrageous?

The longer one absorbs Chaos Qi, the higher the talent; this is common knowledge in the God Realm, rarely wrong. If absorbing Chaos Qi reaches three days, that genius is a target for major forces.

"The pity is, Jiang Yan just arrived in the God Realm not long ago. Before coming to the God Realm, he most likely didn’t even reach a One-star Void God. Although he absorbed Chaos Qi for three days, his realm is probably not very high yet. If he trains in the God Realm for dozens or hundreds of years, he could likely rank in the top ten." Elder Bao Tong sighed slightly.

"Old friend, thank you. I won’t hold you up. So Jing Yan is currently at Stacked Peak? I’ll personally go see him." Director Gong Luo stood up directly and started walking out as he spoke. He mustn’t let other departments get ahead of him.

Seeing Gong Luo so eager, Bao Tong also shook his head in resignation.

"Old friend, with Stacked Peak being so large, with hundreds of thousands of martial artists, how will you find Jing Yan?" Bao Tong called after Gong Luo.

Upon hearing this, Gong Luo’s brow furrowed tightly.

In his rush to find Jing Yan earlier, he overlooked this point.

Finding one person among the hundreds of thousands of martial artists waiting at Stacked Peak is indeed very challenging.

"No need to rush so much."

"When the assessment begins, Supreme Elders of Jidao Palace will descend on Stacked Peak, gathering martial artists and providing instructions. At that time, everyone will be gathered together, based on Jing Yan’s number, it will be easier to locate him." Bao Tong smiled and said.

"Hmm, I didn’t think it through, so I’ll wait a few more months." Gong Luo replied with an awkward smile.

He wants to find Jing Yan early, develop a relationship, and persuade Jing Yan to enter the Qingmu Department after the assessment. But this matter cannot be rushed. Stacked Peak is beyond his control, requiring the authority and ability of Jidao Palace elders.

Jidao Palace is the power hub of Luo Jiu Divine Palace, where the Palace Master of Luo Jiu Divine Palace and those esteemed Supreme Elders usually reside.

...

A few days later.

"That native, Jing Yan, surely has high talent. How much Divine Crystal reward do you think the captain will get for bringing him back to Luo Jiu Divine Palace?" A guard inside the Guiding Divine Palace excitedly looked at two others.

"I guess at least one to two thousand Divine Crystals? Just guiding an ordinary native brings a reward of two hundred first-grade Divine Crystals," said another anticipatingly.freёnovelkiss.com
