Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios
“Taking in a disciple?” The spectating elders all had sharp ears. When they heard that Lan Lang was going to take Qin Chuan as his disciple, they immediately surrounded them.
“Elder Lan, aren’t you being a little too sneaky about taking him as your disciple?” said an elder.
Lan Lang said coldly with his sword behind his back. “He cultivates the Sword Dao. Is there anyone here besides me who can guide him?”
“Our Sword Dao may not be as good as yours, but we can give him something else,” said an elder.
“Yeah! I can use all my resources to groom him. He’ll definitely be on par with those freaks at the headquarters.”
“Xiaochuan looks so young. He’s from the Lower realm, so I bet he lacks the company of beauties. It just so happens that my family’s juniors are all very gorgeous. Xiaochuan can pick any of them. I wouldn’t even mind giving him all of them.”
“Bah! Elder Liao, you are such a sleazebag! How could we cultivators be bewitched by beauty?
“Come to me, Xiaochuan. I have better things for you!
“TIl show you what true exoticism is like.”
The elder who spoke flashed a look at Qin Chuan with a grin, as though hinting, if you know what I mean.
Qin Chuan was frustrated.
They’re all Immortal Kings, and it’s difficult for me to choose!
‘The Immortal Kings were arguing fiercely, and it looked like a fight was about to break out.
At this point, Great Elder Bai Kongchen spoke.
“Elders, please be quiet.
“All of you have cultivated for half an epoch and are all Immortal Kings. Why are you still so childish?
“You’re all fighting Fighting over a disciple like you’re bargaining in a market, making such a din. What happened to your image as elders?
“I think it’s up to Xiaochuan to choose who he wants as his master. All of you are making it difficult for him with your squabbling.
“Right, Xiaochuan? ”
‘The Great Elder gave Qin Chuan a meaningful look.
Qin Chuan seemed to understand.
“Great Elders, it’s an honor to receive such appreciation from you all.
“However, I have just come from the Lower realm and have yet to fully adapt to my surroundings. Can you give me some time to consider?” asked Qin Chuan respectfully.
Stroking his long beard, the Great Elder said, “Xiaochuan is right. You do need to get used to this place.
“But you have to seriously think about who you want as your master.
Le
Just as the Great Elder was about to continue, the surrounding elders’ gaze fell on him. It was as if they wanted to eat him up.
The Great Elder coughed guiltily. “It’s been a few thousand years since I last took in a disciple. If Xiaochuan is willing, you can consider me as well.
“Oh, that’s right! My cultivation level is at the eighth class of the Immortal King realm. I might be able to reach the Emperor realm in the future.”
“Great Elder, you’re going to fight with us too?” demanded the elders.
Stroking his long beard, the Great Elder said, “I’m not. I’m just giving a brief introduction. The decision lies with Xiaochuan.
“Am I not even allowed to even mention it?”
The Great Elder raised his voice a little, demonstrating his authority as the Great Elder.
‘The elders didn’t seem to be convinced by his words. After all, they didn’t want to lose a promising disciple like Qin Chuan.
For a monstrous talent like Qin Chuan, there was no need for them to deliberately provide guidance; all they needed to do was provide resources and answer his questions regarding cultivation.
When Qin Chuan made it in the future, they would be proud masters.
Qin Chuan understood this logic, but it was hard for him to make a decision.
If only I could take all of them.
However, for such an orthodox and law-abiding sect, it would be unacceptable if they did not follow the system.
‘The Great Elder dispersed the space, and everyone returned to the hall. After a brief silence, the atmosphere returned to normal.
“Everyone, I’m sure everyone has witnessed Qin Xiaochuan’s capabilities!” said the Great Elder.
The elders nodded in agreement.
‘The Grand Elder looked at Qin Chuan. “Qin Chuan, I thought that your combat ability was above average among all the freaks in our sect. I didn’t expect you to give us such a pleasant surprise.
“But you must not be proud.
“Keep in mind that there will always be someone better.
“Take our sect as an example; there are certain disciples who are still stronger than you.
“But since you are from the Lower realm, your starting line is behind theirs. I think that as long as you take some time, overtaking them won’t be a problem. ”
Qin Chuan bowed. “Thank you for the advice, Great Elder. I will strive hard to contribute to the sect as soon as possible.”
The elders nodded with smiles on their faces, their admiration for Qin Chuan growing.
Before long, the elders left one after another, and Qin Chuan followed Nangong Feng out of the underground palace.
Nangong Feng’s attitude towards Qin Chuan had undergone a 360-degree change.
All of the elders earlier had been at the Immortal King realm. As the ceiling of combat strength in Luo Ding Sect, they had high statuses.
‘They were all vying to make Qin Chuan their disciple.
As the disciple of an Immortal King, he might not have as much authority as a blue-robed elder like himself, but his status certainly wouldn’t be low.
Nangong Feng knew his limits; he was at most a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, and it was practically impossible for him to go any higher.
However, things were different for Qin Chuan. Based on the strength he had just displayed, if everything went smoothly, reaching the Immortal King realm was no problem. There might even be a chance for him to become an Immortal Emperor.
He had to maintain a good relationship with such a talented disciple—one he could not afford to offend.
‘There was nothing he could do about it. The Immortal realm was an extremely involuted place and valued human relations more than anything else.
Nangong Feng sent Qin Chuan back to his residence.
“Xiaochuan, if you encounter any problems in the sect, feel free to look for me. I’ll definitely settle them for you,” said Nangong Feng before leaving.
“Alright, I’ll have to trouble you in the future, Elder.”
Qin Chuan did not turn him down was because he understood Nangong Feng’s intentions.
“Tl be off then. Have a good rest!”
Having achieved his goal, Nangong Feng left.
‘As soon as Qin Chuan returned to his room, he heard Dan Yangzi’s voice transmission.
“Old Qin, what did they do with you in the middle of the night?” asked Dan Yangzi.
Qin Chuan told Dan Yangzi everything.
Dan Yangzi was instantly displeased.
“F*cking hell! The people from the Luo Ding Sect are blind! In what way am I inferior to you?” cursed Dan Yangzi.
Not wanting to agitate him, Qin Chuan asked, “Old Dan, what do you know about the Demons’ challenge?”
Dan Yangzi knew when to stop joking and when not to. He said, “I’ve seen the Demons challenge in action before. Once they begin to fight, they won’t rest until the opponent dies.
“It has lasted for several epochs and was basically a crushing victory for the Immortal realm.
“However, the strength of the Demons cannot be underestimated.
‘When I was still in the Immortal Realm, the juniors sent by the Demon realm were much stronger than before.
“Now, they must be even stronger.
“Old Qin, I know your strength, but you must not underestimate the Demons.
“although their immortal cultivation techniques come from us, the Demons are innately stronger than us in terms of physiques, and they also have innate divine arts.
“Such a divine art is something that Demons are born with. It’s tricky, and you have to take it seriously.”
Dan Yangzi recalled. “I remember there was a freak in my sect who climbed into the top 100 of the Chosen Roll. He had unlimited potential and would definitely become an Immortal Emperor in less than an era.
“However, because he had underestimated the Demons too much during the battle, he ended up losing to them.
“That Demon’s innate divine art can corrupt luck. Even though it wouldn’t cause any harm, the freak from my sect had no defense, and his luck was affected.
“In the end, he managed to kill the Demon, but his path of cultivation ended there.
“Old Qin, this is the truth. I’m not exaggerating things to scare you. You must not let your guard down. If you die, things will get tricky for me.”
‘These words didn’t sound right coming from Dan Yangzi’s mouth.
Qin Chuan replied, “Got it, I know what I’m doing.”
“Old Qin…” Dan Yangzi had more to say but was cut off by Qin Chuan.
“Someone’s coming. Don’t look for me for now..”
