Seeing several chiefs confirm that Tan Yun was a waste fetal soul, over a hundred thousand disciples could no longer suppress the voices in their hearts, and an uproar ensued:
“Senior Brother Tan is a waste! How could this be?”
“Senior Brother Tan, more than two years ago, defeated those on the Hidden Dragon Rankings at the ninth level of spirit embryo realm!”
“How could he end up like this?”
The atmosphere was filled with disbelief and confusion as the disciples struggled to comprehend the shocking revelation.
“Exactly! Senior Brother Tan is so strong, how could he be a waste…”
“Sigh! Fellow senior brothers and junior brothers, the chiefs all said that Senior Brother Tan is a waste fetal soul, how could it be fake? I thought Senior Brother Tan had supreme talent, but it turns out he’s just a complete waste…”
“That's right, he really is a waste. If nothing unexpected happens, no chief will want him…”
“So pitiful, Senior Brother Tan is a waste that no one wants…”
“…”
Countless sharp comments echoed in her ears, and Xue Ziyan felt anxious.
When Tan Yun had given Zhong Wu Shiyao the Nine Heavens Mystical Goddess Sword Technique, he had mentioned that in the vast universe, apart from the thirteen fetal souls of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, ancient, beast, time, space, light, and death, there were other fetal souls, and he was one of them.
Therefore, both Zhong Wu Shiyao and Mu Mengyi, who had long known that Tan Yun was a primeval fetal soul, firmly believed that Tan Yun was by no means a waste, but rather the Inner Sect chiefs were blind!
But at this moment, the two women were deeply worried, fearing that Tan Yun would be unable to enter the Inner Sect!
“Hmph!” The holy spirit path practitioner glanced at Tan Yun and coldly snorted, “I thought you were some kind of supreme talent, but it turns out you're just a waste.”
He deliberately raised his voice, as if speaking to Tan Yun, yet also to the other eight chiefs, “I believe the nine great chiefs of the Inner Sect definitely won’t let themselves become a laughingstock by accepting you, a waste!”
As soon as the words fell, the thunderstorm daoist immediately nodded, “My Wind Thunder Lineage does not accept waste.”
“My Ancient Soul Lineage also does not accept waste,” the ancient soul practitioner echoed.
“My Talismans Lineage is the same,” another added.
“Of course my Formation Lineage will not either,” the talisman practitioner and qiankun daoist subsequently stated. Just as the holy spirit path practitioner had said, whoever accepted Tan Yun would surely be ridiculed!
“Thud!”
Xue Ziyan knelt in front of the five soul daoist, her eyes pleading, “Master, please accept Tan Yun!”
“Good disciple, it’s not that I won’t agree, but once I do, how will I maintain my face in the future?” The five soul daoist helped Xue Ziyan up and sighed, “Disciple, for other matters, I will definitely agree, but this matter is not possible. I cannot afford to lose face!”
“Master, please, Ziyan begs you! Just accept Tan Yun!” Xue Ziyan insisted, her eyes welling up with tears.
In her heart, aside from the fact that Tan Yun would become her brother-in-law in the future, during the trial in Fallen God Canyon, when she was imprisoned by Murong Kun in Withered Tree Mountain Gorge, if it weren’t for Tan Yun risking his life to save her, she would have already suffered humiliation and died!
Now that Tan Yun faced the possibility of being rejected by the nine great chiefs, how could she not stand up for him?
“Disciple, think about it, even if I take him into the Five Soul Lineage, what will happen? He will only suffer bullying and humiliation from his fellow disciples. Do you really want to see that happen?”
The five soul daoist said earnestly, “Tan Yun is destined to have no connection with the heavenly dao. Even if he joins the Inner Sect, he can only enter the alchemy, talisman, artifact, or formation lines, learning some superficial skills. When he returns to his hometown, he can still become a wealthy person, but he won’t learn anything in the Five Soul Lineage!”
