Some of those individuals were among the top ten prodigies on the list. Needless to say, to achieve the
status of an elite disciple in the Grandiuno Sect requires extraordinary strength. Each one of them was
at
least a level six supreme saint, and they formed the backbone of the sect even though there were not a
lot of them. Each of them was strong enough to be a pir of a smaller sect.
In contrast to Shyam and the many other elite disciples who harbored jealousy toward Severin after he
became the sixth core disciple, the five great core disciples were more curious about Severin than
anything.
Inside a well–tended garden courtyard on the Sixth Mountain sat a woman wearing a blue gown. She
sat cross–legged next to a cauldron and had an aqua–blue silk bow tied around her waist. A gold
hairpin
adorned her long ck hair, and white boots embroidered with gold silkpleted her outfit. Her fair
ankles were visible, and they seemed toplement her cold and beautiful appearance. Her charming
eyes and delicate skin made her look like an angel that had descended to earth and was as yet
unadulterated by the world.
The woman was Celeste Mullin, the Sixth Mountain’s prodigy and the sole woman among the five core
disciples. Celeste was once a concubine, and it was by chance that sect elders came across her and
found out that she possessed the Forest Constitution. It was a rare Element Constitution that resonated
particrly well with alchemy, making her an exceptional talent in the field of alchemy. Celeste thus
became a disciple of the Grandiuno Sect’s Sixth Mountain.
Once she was epted into the sect, she lived up to her expectations and demonstrated exceptional
talent. Aside from making a rapid breakthrough to supreme saint, she had also achieved the status of
at fifth–grade alchemist. Due to thebination of those talents, her ascent to bing a core
disciple seemed set in stone, and the sect conferred that status to her a year ago. Unlike the other core
disciples who chose to have their ind, she decided to remain on the Sixth Mountain.
Celeste was surprised by the news of the sixth core disciple as she sat cross–legged next to the
cauldron. It came as such a big shock that even the pill inside the cauldron was burnt without her
noticing.
Not far away, an old woman chastised Celeste gently and exhorted her for letting the pill burn. “You’re
not paying attention, Celeste. Perhaps I’ve been too lenient on you all this while.”
Celeste smiled and exined her distraction coyly. “I was just caught off–guard by the news of a sixth
core disciple.” She then asked curiously, “Why do you think our sect leader broke away from the
tradition
of having five core disciples, Aunt Zelia?”

Ze shrugged off the question. “I’m sure our sect leader had his reasons. I am merely an elder, so I
am not privy to his thoughts. However, it is clear that this new boy is exceptionally talented, or else our
sect
Zelia’s reasoning made sense to Celeste. Celeste had the lowest attainment level among the five core
disciples, for she had only just recently made a breakthrough to level eight supreme saint. Even so, few
dared to challenge her for her spot because of her talent in alchemy and her reputation for being the
most beautiful female disciple in the sect.
Many elite disciples were gunning to be core disciples, and she believed that Severin would be
bound to face many challenges from them due to his status as a neer who had been given an
exception.
Since the Sixth Mountain was near to the Pearl Light Isle, Celeste took out a pill with dense spiritual
energy. “Could you please send someone to deliver this sixth–grade Brightriver Pill to Pearl Light Isle?”
Elsewhere, on a floating ind not far from the Fourth Mountain, there was dense spiritual energy and
countless spiritual birds flying around in the air. Spiritual herbs were growing aplenty, and they came in
all sorts of colors. In the center of the ind was a purple–d young man who opened his eyes for a
while.
