When the group of cultivators heard Chu Di's master say this, they all looked incredulous. Average talent, mediocre potential, weak foundation?
How is that possible!
If her talent was truly average and her foundation weak, how could she have achieved the Great Emperor's Dao fruit and become the most powerful being in this world?
Moreover, wasn't it because of Chu Di's exceptional talent that her master chose to take her as a disciple?
After all, among the few who could achieve the title of Great Emperor on the Wanling Continent, none were not outstanding geniuses.
And Chu Di's talent ranked among the top five on the Wanling Continent!
Excluding the hidden immortal families with terrifying legacies and the unimaginable existences within forbidden zones, Chu Di could already stand proudly in the world with just a Supreme Bone.
But now...
"Could this guy not be Chu Di's actual master?"
A cultivator questioned.
If not for Chu Di, they would have surely cursed the old man. What kind of judgment is this? Chu Di's talent was among the best on the entire Wanling Continent, and yet he calls it mediocre?!
At this moment, Chu Nannan's expression was also unpleasant.
After all, in her memory, her master had been extremely kind to her, even doting on her, all because of the potential of her Supreme Bone.
"Nannan, you possess the Supreme Bone and are a born supreme. Now, with my legacy and teachings, you will surely reach the pinnacle and become one of the strongest in this world!"
"The best and most gratifying decision of my life was taking you as a disciple. Only a born supreme like you is qualified to inherit my teachings. With you, my legacy can continue, and I can pass on peacefully..."
These words of praise from her master still echoed in Chu Nannan's ears.
But she had never imagined that upon their first meeting, her master had considered her talent to be mediocre and her foundation extremely poor!
At this moment, Ye Fan stepped forward, noticing Chu Nannan's discomfort. He immediately said, "Chu Di's Supreme Bone just hasn't awakened yet, which is why her master thinks her talent is mediocre now. Once the Supreme Bone awakens, his opinion will surely change."
The cultivators also found Ye Di's words reasonable and nodded in agreement.
"As expected of Ye Di, his words hit the mark, easily revealing the truth of the matter. We are impressed. Chu Di's master's expression must have been quite spectacular when he saw the Supreme Bone awaken later."
...
"No, this is absolutely impossible! How could my sister be so lacking?"
"Nannan has been smart and clever since childhood, full of spirit. If I have the Supreme Bone, how could my sister not have it?"
Chu Yang couldn't believe it and refused to accept this fact.
This was his only hope now, and Chu Yang couldn't accept it!
The white-robed old man sighed helplessly and said with a light laugh, "How could I be wrong?"
"I saw your Supreme Bone at a glance; how could she be an exception? She is just an ordinary person with no secrets to hide from me."
"Her talent is indeed as ordinary as it gets. Not to mention the rare Supreme Bone, she doesn't even have a basic spiritual root to become a cultivator."
"The Supreme Bone is a divine object of the heavens. No matter how deeply hidden, it will awaken when one is on the verge of death. But look at her, does her body show any sign of such a bone?"
Outside the Heavenly Emperor Realm.
Everyone shuddered upon hearing this and looked utterly shocked.
This reality was something none of them could accept.
Chu Nannan did not have the Supreme Bone?!
At this moment, everyone's gaze was fixed on Chu Nannan.
Everyone knew that Chu Nannan ultimately became an Emperor, relying on a Supreme Bone and a powerful legacy to sweep across the world, becoming a revered Great Emperor.
Even the Emperor turned against Chu Nannan because of this Supreme Bone, nearly killing her in the process!
But now, Chu Nannan's master claimed she did not possess the Supreme Bone!
Yet, it was an indisputable fact that Chu Nannan had a Supreme Bone! There was no clear explanation for where Chu Nannan's Supreme Bone came from.
Many cultivators trembled as they considered a horrifying possibility.
But this possibility left everyone even more shocked and incredulous.
"No, this is impossible."
Chu Nannan, too, was agitated, thinking of the final possibility.
At this moment, she realized that many previously unresolved questions seemed to be slowly unraveling.
In fact, the answer had always been there in the past.
The Emperor had surged to the Dao Palace realm upon first cultivating, while she had never even been able to cross the threshold of cultivation.
Moreover, the Supreme Bone was a supreme divine object. Even if she had died completely, there would have been traces of the Supreme Bone, signs of its awakening.
The Emperor could kill a Saint under such circumstances and still have his Supreme Bone. So why would it disappear within three days, and his foundation be destroyed?
Understanding this, Chu Nannan felt bewildered. This reality was the hardest for her to accept.
She desperately told herself it was impossible. The Emperor had tried to kill her for the Supreme Bone; how could he do such a thing now?
Chu Nannan's eyes were fixed on the scene in the Heavenly Emperor Mirror.
She wanted to see what happened next, hoping for a result completely different from her suspicions.
Ye Fan, too, was deeply shaken.
All doubts pointed to that conclusion.
But they all clung to a sliver of hope.
After all, it was the Supreme Bone, such a divine object. How could it be possible?
Inside the Heavenly Emperor Realm.
Chu Yang's eyes were vacant as the old man's words echoed in his mind.
Was there really no hope for his sister?
Wait...
The Supreme Bone, a divine object rarely seen in millennia?!
At this thought, Chu Yang's eyes brightened! A flame of hope reignited in his eyes.
However, the old man, lost in reminiscence, did not notice the change in the Emperor and slowly said, "I am an ancient supreme. In a doomsday battle against a great enemy from beyond, I suffered severe injuries, leaving incurable wounds."
"Had it not been for this, I might have had a chance to prove the Dao and become an emperor. I have lived long enough, and I do not fear death. But I worry that my cultivation and legacy might be lost to the river of time."
"To find a worthy successor, I have traveled tirelessly across the vast Wanling Continent, but I have never found a suitable person to inherit my ultimate skills."
"Such supreme skills should not be lost. Whether to continue the teachings of the ancient saints or to prepare for future catastrophic battles, I hope you will accept my legacy."
"Only you are qualified to inherit my teachings!"
The old man's eyes were piercing as he gazed at Chu Yang.
In his mind, he saw Chu Yang mastering his legacy, standing against the great enemies of Wanling in the future, invincible.
But Chu Yang was not interested in the old man's legacy. He asked a different question.
"Senior, is the Supreme Bone truly that mystical?"
