Chapter 679 The Original World Annihilates All Chosen Ones of Destiny (2)

As Jin Shu stroked Fei Yun, she noticed an extremely dazzling and sacred golden light flashing across its neck, undulating like a wave and rippling in the direction her fingertips moved.

Jin Shu lowered her eyes and looked intently.

This kind of light is not something that a low-level beast like Feiyun could emit.

What exactly is going on in this world?

Feiyun's changes, including Canglan's attitude, all indicate that her current identity is extraordinary.

But why is that?

If it's the original world, then how could everything be so different?

Jin Shu composed herself and flew onto Fei Yun's back. At this moment, Cang Lan followed closely behind on his water-condensing beast.

"This apprenticeship ceremony is a grand event that only happens once every hundred years. At that time, you can choose a few disciples that you like to keep by your side."

"Hmm, let's see first."

After the thick fog dissipated, the majestic celestial palace standing high in the clouds slowly came into view.

The sea of ​​clouds surged and rolled in front of the cliff of the immortal abode, and occasionally one could see the strange beast mount of a certain immortal lord rolling in the clouds.

After Jin Shu landed, the flying clouds churned once, and the strange beast mounts that had just been frolicking in the sea of ​​clouds all disappeared into the clouds, as if they were wary of something.

Canglan quickly followed, her voice soft and gentle, showing none of the aloofness and nobility that Jin Shu had imagined.

If it weren't for the identical face and name, Jin Shu would have almost thought that someone else had taken her place.

Upon entering the main hall, one is greeted by carved beams and painted pillars, with jade-green bricks that create ripples of color underfoot.

Jin Shu remembered this place. It was in this Cloud Immortal Abode that she was chosen as Cang Lan's disciple. Because Jin Shu's father was of noble status and was the benefactor of the Immortal Clan for all ages, Cang Lan directly recognized her as his last disciple and bestowed upon her a golden pouch, an unparalleled honor.

The apprenticeship ceremony is held once every hundred years. The vast majority of those who come to become apprentices are junior immortals, but there are also a few exceptionally talented mortals who, after going through countless hardships to become immortals, also have the opportunity to come to the Immortal Abode in the clouds to participate in the apprenticeship ceremony.

However, whether or not one succeeds depends on one's own fate.

Jin Shu was the most dazzling presence in the crowd. She was born into a noble family, had the support of a war god father, and possessed pure immortal bones. She was a rare talent in cultivation, and countless people wanted to take her as their disciple.

At the very least, all seven immortals seated on the throne of the Seven Immortal Venerables at that time intended to take her as their disciple.

Not to mention the numerous immortal sects and factions below.

Therefore, Jin Shu didn't have much of an impression of this formal apprenticeship ceremony.

But now, she stands in this hall again, but unlike last time, this time she appears here as her master.

The current situation shows that his status is at least equal to Canglan's, and it is possible that his status is even higher than Canglan's.

Otherwise, how could the usually aloof and arrogant Canglan possibly be so polite to him?

Sure enough, when she took her seat, Jin Shu knew that her status was indeed extraordinary, because the other six immortals were sitting on both sides, while the seat in the very center was left unoccupied.

It's obvious that this position belongs to her.

Having lived for so many years, Jin Shu had seen all sorts of situations, so she calmly waved her sleeve and sat down in the very center, in the position of the Immortal Venerable.

The Immortal Venerable Mu Su, who was standing to the side, nodded respectfully to her. Even the Immortal Venerable Bao Yi, who Jin Shu remembered as having the most volatile temper, greeted her humbly.

Jin Shu tried to recall who had been sitting in this seat before...

No, it seems there were only six Immortal Venerables before, and they were all lined up in a row, with no distinction of rank or status.

If we had to add one, it's not that there isn't one; back then, the Immortal Realm also produced an Immortal Venerable who looked down upon the Six Realms and held sway over the universe.

Rumor has it that she possesses immense magical power and extraordinary cultivation, capable of turning the world upside down with a mere gesture, causing the entire six realms to tremble.

Unfortunately, during the later war between immortals and demons, this powerful and invincible immortal venerable disappeared on the battlefield.

By the time Jin Shu heard about this, the immortal had been missing for many years.

There have always been rumors about her in the immortal realm, but very few people have actually seen her.

Even the Immortal Venerable Canglan only worked with her briefly, but soon after, due to the outbreak of a great war, that Immortal Venerable was given a critical mission and never returned.

Jin Shu's thoughts were interrupted when someone called her name.

"Immortal Rong Qing, the apprenticeship ceremony is about to begin. You need to go and pay your respects to the Immortal."

This was the first time anyone had called Jin Shu by her Buddhist name since she woke up.

Immortal Venerable Rong Qing...

She even has a Buddhist name now.

In the realm of gods, a ritual to worship the immortals is performed before any major event.

The apprenticeship ceremony officially began only after the formal ceremony concluded.

Nearly a thousand disciples, dressed in white robes, filed in and finally stood in neat rows at the bottom.

Before selecting disciples, it is necessary to measure their spiritual roots. The method is very simple: just place your hand on the spirit-testing stone in front of you.

One's spiritual root essentially determines a cultivator's future prospects in cultivation.

There are six types of spiritual roots, each with a different color. The quality of a spiritual root is determined by the depth of its color.

The reason why the apprenticeship ceremony is called "apprenticeship" is that the disciple can choose his master in advance.

The seven Celestial Venerables will be the first to begin, and the disciples below will be arranged in the order in which the Celestial Venerables are seated. If a disciple wants to become a disciple of a particular celestial venerable, they will stand in the position below that celestial venerable.

If a celestial being takes a liking to someone, he will directly imprint his mark on the disciple's forehead.

Those who start first are definitely the strongest, since there are only a few good disciples, so the strongest will have to be given priority.

Therefore, Jin Shu naturally became the first person to choose an apprentice.

"Immortal Venerable Rong Qing is the most powerful Immortal Venerable in the world. If one can become her disciple, the path of cultivation will surely be smooth sailing!"

"Let's stop dreaming. How could Immortal Venerable Rong Qing possibly choose someone like us with only average qualifications? We should just honestly wait to be among the last batch to enter the sect."

Even the top ten sects are part of the management of the immortal realm. Joining a sect is like getting a government job. Not only does it bring honor to your family, but you also get the best resources. It's definitely much better than being a rogue immortal or a freelance cultivator.

Therefore, of the 987 disciples present, 900 had come specifically for the sect.

Those who dare to queue up at the front are either disciples of immortal sects or extraordinary talents in cultivation. In short, they either have a background or strength; otherwise, even if they go, they will only make a fool of themselves.

Therefore, everyone is eagerly anticipating which disciple Rong Qingxian will choose as his apprentice.

"Why do I see a male disciple I don't recognize? I don't think I've ever seen him before."
