Before returning, You You inquired about the Divine Race from Heng Yan. Heng Yan wasn't entirely clear on this either; he had helped investigate some immortal registers but hadn't obtained any significant information, similar to what Nie Zheng had found previously. As for how to awaken the Phoenix Clan, they had absolutely no clue.
However, Hengyan was determined to flatter her, repeatedly offering to help inquire in other heavenly courts and inform her if there was any news. He even shamelessly forced a red lotus from Fengrong as a means of communication before reluctantly seeing them off back to the mortal realm.
After what happened in the heavens, Youyou felt that something might be wrong with her, and she was even a little distracted when dealing with the sect affairs that had piled up for several days.
"I'm saying... don't you guys think there's something wrong with my cultivation level?" she couldn't help but ask.
Everyone in the room who was studying together was taken aback and looked at her with concern. Yuan Qi even subconsciously stood up and asked, "Is there something wrong with your body?"
"No, that's not it!" You You put down the documents in her hand, her brows furrowed, and said with a serious expression, "Don't you think my cultivation level seems... a bit too high?"
"..."
Everyone fell silent. Yuan Qi's hand, which was about to take the pulse, slipped down instantly. Even Ling Qi, who had just entered the room carrying documents, stumbled and almost tripped over the threshold.
Qi shua gave her a look that was hard to describe.
You're only just finding out?
It's not just high, it's downright outrageous!
You You, however, rested her chin on her hand and analyzed in a serious tone, "I originally thought that because my body is special, or because the Heavenly Maidens are different, it's understandable that my level is higher. After all, Heavenly Maidens are all sect leaders, so it's normal for them to have higher cultivation levels and progress faster! The other Heavenly Maidens should be the same."
"..." No, only you are different! Really!
"After so many things happened, I became increasingly confused about my cultivation level." You You scratched her head in frustration. "Think about it... Before, it was normal for those demonic beasts, demonic cultivators, Nascent Soul cultivators, and Deity Transformation cultivators to be a little weak. But this time, we've all gone to the Immortal Realm, and that First-Level Emperor named Yongqing is as weak as a chicken. That's a bit strange!" What happened to the peak of cultivation being becoming an immortal? I haven't seen immortals being that strong!
"..." Nie Zheng felt as if a knife had been plunged into his heart, and he felt that his race had been despised.
“And then there’s Qiu Yue!” she continued her analysis. “Although it was a bit tough for us that time, overall we still managed to win. He’s a god, after all!” Moreover, the main reason for this was that she wasn’t familiar enough with her own abilities and couldn’t react in time. If it were a real battle of strength, it probably would have ended much faster.
“By ordinary cultivation levels, if I can defeat a small monster, it proves I’m a cultivator; if I can defeat a Foundation Establishment cultivator, I might be a Golden Core cultivator; if I can defeat a Nascent Soul cultivator, I might be a Deity Transformation cultivator! But how come I can defeat that Emperor and Qiu Yue…?” You You had deep doubts about her own cultivation level. She looked at everyone seriously and said with a bitter expression, “Tell me… what exactly is my cultivation level?”
Yuan Qi: "..."
Ling Qi: "..."
Nie Zheng: "..."
You don't even know your own cultivation level, how would we know anything about you!
The room fell silent for a few seconds. Why did I suddenly feel like I'd been shown a complete blunder?
Finally, Yuan Qi coughed and said, "Xiao You, your body is indeed different from others. Although I can't see any difference, I can't find out your specific cultivation level or how much potential you have."
This was something Yuan Qi had never been able to understand. He had examined You You a long time ago, but no matter how he looked at her, she seemed to have no cultivation whatsoever. Although reaching the pinnacle of cultivation could lead to a return to one's true nature, it wasn't as natural as You You's. Despite having no spiritual energy within her, the power of her spells was astonishing, even to him. It was as if that energy had suddenly appeared, or as if she could draw upon any spiritual energy, immortal energy, or even divine power in the world.
Therefore, he couldn't determine what level of cultivation You You possessed, or even whether she was human, immortal, or god.
“But one thing is certain, Xiao You, you… are definitely not an ordinary celestial maiden!” Yuan Qi subconsciously patted her head.
"Alright, if you can't figure it out, then forget it!" You You didn't dwell on it too much. After all, what her strength limit was didn't matter. What mattered was that she had the strength to protect her brothers from the True Stroke Sect, and that was enough.
Just as she was about to continue looking at the documents, she suddenly heard a series of loud shouts outside, and asked casually, "Ling Qi, what's going on outside? It's been so noisy since just now."
"Today is graduation day, and the disciples are having a magical duel. It should be coming from the Four Peaks Martial Arts Arena!" Ling Qi was also a little puzzled. Logically speaking, the Four Peaks are quite far away from here, so even if they were having a magical duel, the sound shouldn't travel this far.
"Graduation?" You You was taken aback. "Is it that time of year again, the final exams that come around every five years?"
“Yes! There are many disciples this year, so there are rewards for outstanding disciples, especially the top three…” He suddenly thought of something, stopped speaking, and his face stiffened.
"Let's go take a look! And get some fresh air!" Since it was the final exam, You You stood up and called to Yuan's father and Nie Zheng to walk outside together.
"Sect Master..." Ling Qi seemed to want to explain something, but before he could, the others had already left, so he had no choice but to follow.
As soon as they arrived at the fourth peak, the noise grew even louder. Strangely, it wasn't the sound of weapons clashing or spells colliding; it sounded more like... a shouting match?!
Moreover, there were quite a few people there, and the place was bustling with noise, like a concert.
You You was startled. The disciples were usually harmonious, and this was the first time she had heard them arguing, let alone a group fight. She couldn't help but feel worried, so she quickened her pace towards the training ground.
Before they could even enter, a loud shout suddenly rang out, drowning out everyone else's voices.
"Shut up, all of you! I'm taking first place today. Anyone who disagrees, just draw your sword and fight!"
The voice was cold and clear, carrying an imposing aura that seemed to hold off ten thousand men, instantly silencing the entire room for a few seconds.
That's... the voice of a hookah girl!
You You was stunned and hadn't reacted yet when more disciples' indignant voices rang out one after another.
"Senior Sister, that's so unfair of you! You clearly said you wouldn't participate in the competition ever since the graduation ceremony two years ago!"
"That's right! With Senior Sister's cultivation level, who in the entire sect, besides the elders, is your match?"
"No, even the elders are no match for you!"
"That's right, that's right, you can't suddenly back out just because you see this year's special rewards!"
"Yes! We refuse to accept this!"
