In a hazy state, it felt as if hot water was being poured into my body, a warm current flowing from the top of my head to every part of my body.
Zhou Dongshan opened his eyes instantly: "I can't sleep, I must see the old god...immortal..."
He suddenly realized that what came into view was an old man with white hair.
"Old Immortal!" Zhou Dongshan immediately sat up from the ground. He realized that he was no longer kneeling at the foot of the mountain for three years, but was now on the mountain peak!
He immediately knelt down again: "Old Immortal, Dongshan is grateful for your life-saving grace and guidance. This time, I took the initiative to seek you out because I want to become your disciple and pursue a higher level of martial arts!"
Mo Tianyun shook his head slightly and sighed, "Sigh, you've been kneeling down there for three years. Why did you do that? I just want to quietly watch the rivers and lakes, the vicissitudes of life, from this mountain peak! I don't want anyone by my side, so you'd better get up quickly, or I'll just send you down the mountain!"
"No! Please, old immortal, accept me as your disciple! I am willing to pay any price! I have no more attachment to the mundane world; I only want to pursue a higher level of martial arts. Please, take me as your disciple!"
Zhou Dongshan kowtowed repeatedly.
"Fine! But if your potential doesn't meet the standard, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
A sharp glint flashed in Mo Tianyun's eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
"Drink this stuff. If you survive and your talent and potential meet the requirements, why not take you as my disciple?"
Mo Tianyun reached out and a bottle of "Spirit Sea" level spiritual power enhancement potion appeared in his hand.
This potion is generally only suitable for genetically evolved martial artists with "Spirit Sea" level spiritual power.
For martial artists with higher mental strength, the product had no effect, while for those with lower mental strength, it posed a life-threatening risk.
However, nothing is absolute. If one can endure the potion's effects and absorb it, it is still possible to break through the "Spirit Sea" level of spiritual power.
“Drink, I’ll drink!” Zhou Dongshan immediately took the bottle of medicine from Mo Tianyun’s hand.
Just as he was about to take it, Mo Tianyun raised his hand to stop him and warned him:
"Your chances of surviving are less than one in a thousand. Even if you do survive, and given your talent, the chances of meeting my requirements to take you as my disciple are less than one in ten thousand. You should think twice before you act!"
"Old Immortal, you don't need to persuade me any further, my mind is made up!"
After saying that, Zhou Dongshan downed the entire bottle of medicine in one gulp.
Six months later.
After a life-or-death struggle, he ultimately survived!
Mo Tianyun also admired his will; it was strong enough, even stronger than a stubborn rock!
He was in a deep depression for a full six months. Most people would have died long ago, but he was able to survive. To be honest, Mo Tianyun really admired his willpower.
However, what surprised Mo Tianyun even more was that Zhou Dongshan had awakened three strong hearts!
The first heart is the heart of a strong person, the heart of courage; the second heart is the heart of a strong person, the heart of protection; and the third heart is the heart of judgment.
White, black, and gold colors shifted in his eyes, and a glow combining these three colors appeared on his body.
To be honest, such talent might not appear even once in the entire galaxy, yet it has appeared on this tiny planet, which truly surprised Mo Tianyun.
“Zhou Dongshan, I have been watching you ever since your country was destroyed. For more than 200 years, I have practically watched you grow up. Now, not only have you survived, but you have also awakened three strong hearts, so you are qualified to become my disciple. Therefore, I will keep my promise and accept you as my disciple!”
When Zhou Dongshan woke up, Mo Tianyun's words filled him with immense joy!
"Disciple greets Master! May I ask Master's name?"
Zhou Dongshan knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.
He has never had a father or mother since birth.
Her only relative was her grandmother, Rong, who had passed away when she was 15.
For over 200 years, he devoted himself to practicing martial arts and never married.
Therefore, this old immortal who once saved his life and gave him guidance is now his master and his only family.
As the saying goes, "A teacher for a day is a father for life."
Zhou Dongshan truly regarded Mo Tianyun as his father!
"Name..." Mo Tianyun pondered for a moment after hearing Zhou Dongshan's words, and then said, "Just call me Baiyun!"
He cannot reveal his name to outsiders.
After all, he was once the leader of the entire Tianyun Empire civilization in the Tianyun Star Cluster.
Once he reveals his name, the Zerg may discover him.
However, there are many people with the same name in this universe, so it doesn't really matter.
Even so, he didn't want to reveal his real name to outsiders.
Let's just pretend that the Mo Tianyun of the past is dead!
Baiyun was just a name he created arbitrarily based on his hair color and the last character of his name, a substitute for his real name.
"Yes, disciple greets Master Baiyun!"
Zhou Dongshan knelt down again.
Taking on a disciple was a novel experience for Mo Tianyun.
At the foot of "Misheng Peak".
Many people who came to see him discovered that the figure who had been kneeling for three years was no longer there.
However, Zhou Dongshan, the ancestor of the Holy Land of Dongshan, did not return to the Holy Land.
Then, a startling piece of news spread: "That Saint Realm patriarch who knelt for three years has probably already gone up the mountain to become a disciple!"
Thus, throughout the world, there were renowned martial arts masters, old monsters who had been hiding for decades or even centuries, dedicating themselves entirely to the study of martial arts, geniuses from various sects, and holy sons and daughters from sacred lands...
They all ran to the foot of "Misheng Peak" and, imitating Zhou Dongshan, knelt there, hoping to move the old immortal on the mountaintop with their sincerity.
However, they were destined to leave disappointed.
Even if their talent and will were as strong as Dongshan's, Mo Tianyun would not take on any more disciples.
Because Mo Tianyun and his newly accepted disciple Zhou Dongshan have already left this planet and embarked on a journey into the universe.
Mo Tianyun demolished all the pavilions and towers on the mountain!
I believe that the mental interference he set up will disappear soon.
