"This guy's name is Lin Chang'sheng? His cultivation is so formidable, how come I've never heard of him?"
"His talent is easily on par with the Celestial Prides from the top ten powers of the Immortal Realm. Looks like we're about to see a true dark horse on this year's Celestial Pride List!"
"For sure! I heard he's from the Abandoned Land, never imagined he'd cultivate to such a level! Absolutely unreal!"
"Abandoned Land? No way! Even if there's a genius from the Abandoned Land, at best they'd reach the Nascent Soul Stage, no way they'd achieve this kind of cultivation!"
"Otherwise, how would he qualify as a Celestial Pride?"
...
The surrounding elders all chimed in, clearly quite impressed by Lin Chang'sheng.
And when the various major sects learned he hadn't joined any sect yet, they all began harboring serious hopes of pulling him under their own banner.
Even the top ten giant powers of the Immortal Realm were looking at him with newfound respect.
