480 The First!? (2/2)
”However, as one of the Federation Seedlings, in the near future, you might have the chance to acquire… a cultivation technique that surpasses those found in the Federation!” At that juncture, the Sect Lord lifted his right hand and pointed vaguely at the sky.
Wang Baole narrowed his eyes immediately and lifted his head. Outside, in the sky, piercing through the midday sun, was the soul-shaking ancient greenish-bronze sword!
A clearer picture began to form in Wang Baole's mind as he consolidated what the Sect Lord was talking about with what the Grand Supreme Elder had said earlier. This meant that… the Federation Seedlings Initiative was about to formally commence. Operation Sword Sun and the endeavor to land on the ancient greenish-bronze sword was about to be rolled out as well!
The Federation had been able to advance to a cultivation civilization just from acquiring the shards of the ancient greenish-bronze sword's hilt. The resources and cultivation techniques that could be found on the ancient greenish-bronze sword itself would present unimaginable opportunities for any cultivator of the Federation!
”You can hold on to the Lightning Dao: Second Volume first. If possible… I'd still wish for you to practice a technique that befits a true prodigy. At least you won't lose out to the young ones from the countless civilizations in the universe!” the Sect Lord said earnestly. He stared at Wang Baole hopefully. There were some things that he wasn't saying, and that the Grand Supreme Elder hadn't said as well. Regardless, the whole Ethereal Dao College had reached the same consensus.
Wang Baole was going to be the rising hope of the Ethereal Dao College. He was going to follow in Li Xingwen's footsteps and become one of the future pillars of the Ethereal Dao College.
Wang Baole might not have known about this common understanding that the upper echelons had arrived at, but he had been able to get an inkling of what was happening during this visit. After some careful consideration, he kept the Lightning Dao: Second Volume and bade the Sect Lord farewell. Just as he was about to leave, the Sect Lord said casually, ”Baole, I'm not sure if the Grand Supreme Elder has told you this, but don't return to Mars first. Stay in the sect… this is because he is reaching a breakthrough!
”He will be the first person on Earth to attain a breakthrough from the Core Formation realm and enter the Nascent Soul realm. When that happens, representatives from all the political forces will be here. Based on his assessment, at the moment of his breakthrough, an alarming amount of Spirit Qi will be drawn to him. This will be an opportunity for all our disciples.
”Especially for those of us at the Core Formation realm. This is a chance for us to draw lessons from the experience and gain enlightenment!”
Wang Baole's pupils contracted when he heard that. He wasn't surprised to hear that the Grand Supreme Elder was approaching a breakthrough in his cultivation. He had already seen signs of that. But he had been surprised when the Sect Lord said that he would be the first person to enter the Nascent Soul realm.
”The first?” Wang Baole asked immediately. He distinctly remembered what had happened after the Mercury tragedy. Even though he had been away in seclusion, he had tuned in to the Federation President's speech and had heard about the Nascent Soul realm elder who had been searching the Solar System for the extraterrestrial cultivators.
”That's right. The first… Earthling!” The Sect Lord gave Wang Baole a meaningful look. It was as if he had certain concerns about divulging more details while on Earth. He didn't elaborate.
The hints he was giving were extremely explicit. Wang Baole wouldn't have been able to become a Secondary Rank Two Noble in such a short period of time if he couldn't even discern the implicit message. Almost instantly, his eyes flashed. He came to an answer that didn't really surprise him that much.
This Nascent Soul realm cultivator might have come from… the ancient green-bronze sword! Wang Baole narrowed his eyes as he pondered. After a moment, he cupped his fists and saluted the Sect Lord. Then, he turned and left. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
Wang Baole took a walk in the campus after leaving the pavilion. He had a faint smile on his face and would greet his junior brothers and sisters as he passed them by. Any other time, he might have teased them a little as well, but he had something on his mind today. He might not have learned much during this trip back, but he was still able to gather quite a number of clues.
This Nascent Soul realm cultivator from the ancient green-bronze sword probably harbors no ill will towards us. Else, with the Federation's current capabilities, it would be difficult for us to fight back against him…
It's still very interesting though. There was no news after the Federation announced the Federation Seedlings Initiative. Now, just after there's been a breakthrough in Master Zhao's Anti-Spirit Bomb research and when the Grand Supreme Elder is about to attain a breakthrough in his cultivation…
Only now, do they have the intention of activating the Federation Seedlings Initiative… Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. He might have some clues, but it would be challenging to pin down exactly what was going on if he thought this through normally. However, if he used what he had learned from the high officials' autobiographies, then suddenly… everything seemed to make much more sense.
As Wang Baole continued to immerse in his thoughts, he suddenly heard a roar filled with excitement and agitation rumbling from a distance away. Countless gasps of awe and surprise rang out and interrupted Wang Baole's thoughts.
Wang Baole recognized the familiar roar. He lifted his head and immediately saw a giant winged Diamond Ape bursting out from the clouds in the sky and charging towards him.
”Diamy!” Wang Baole laughed out loud, seeming happily surprised. He took a step and leaped into the air, flying towards the Diamond Ape.
