Chapter 617
At that very moment, everyone gathered at the mountain gate was utterly stunned, including Korbin and Kaitlyn.
"Six rings! He got six rings! How is this possible?" Kaitlyn's eyes widened in shock and disbelief.
She had always believed her talent to be the greatest and had even doubted that the Netherworld Bell could ring
more than five times. She never imagined that Sebastian's talent would far surpass hers.
Heather was equally shocked, unable to speak for a long while. When she finally found her voice, she stubbornly
remarked, "Even the founder only achieved five rings, how could he possibly have six? There must be something
wrong with the Netherworld Bell!
"Cto think of it, maybe the bell really is malfunctioning. Otherwise, how could someone possess such an
extraordinary talent?"
"Exactly! The founder Zachary was already an unparalleled genius, and he was able to establish a sect. To have
someone with talent on par with him is unbelievable, let alone someone who surpasses him!"
Many nodded in agreement, and even Kaitlyn began to doubt the situation.
Just then, four figures emerged from the valley, moving with incredible speed. Among them were two elderly
men, a middle-aged man, and a woman who appeared to be in her late 20s.
"Greetings, Grand Elders!" Korbin led the bow, and everyone else hurriedly followed suit.
These were the revered Four Grand Elders of the Netherworld Sect, the sect's most formidable secret strength.
One of the elderly men was the previous sect leader, and the other was the former head of the elders.

The young-looking woman, though appearing in her late 20s, was actually over 40 years old and had a high
status as she was the daughter of the sect leader two generations before. Even Korbin had to address her as his
aunt.
The great-elders typically secluded themselves from worldly affairs, focusing solely on cultivation. They only
emerged when the sect faced an existential crisis.
Their sudden appearance now clearly signaled that the emergence of a six-ringed prodigy was an event of
monumental importance.
The former sect leader, Tyler Gardner, looked at Sebastian as if he were gazing upon a priceless treasure. "A six-
ring prodigy... Our Netherworld Sect is destined for greatness!" he exclaimed.
Korbin then spoke up, "Father, even the founder only achieved five rings. This person reaching six is... could it be
that the Netherworld Bell is malfunctioning?"
Tyler responded firmly, "That's impossible. The Netherworld Bell is flawless. Though our founder was indeed a
peerless genius, his notes mention that the world is filled with talents. He considered himself merely among the
best, but acknowledged that there are those with even greater potential."
Everyone was stunned by this revelation. If the founder, who was already legendary, acknowledged the
existence of talents surpassing his own, how powerful must they be?
"| want to take him as my personal apprentice and teach him everything | know!" declared the former head of
the elders, Jody Parker. He was now the second great-elder.
The former second elder, now the third great-elder, Kiran Scott, also looked at Sebastian with eager eyes.
"There's no need to argue. This young man resembles my grandson and is around my granddaughter's age. Why
not lettake him as my apprentice?"
Tyler countered, "Kiran, if you take him as your apprentice, how will you match him with your granddaughter?
That would mess up the generations. | should be the one to take him as my apprentice since | am the most

Just then, the bell rang again, and the entire area fell silent.
The resonant chechoed through the sky and earth, lingering in the air, seemingly profound and endless.
