Qi Zhuo stared in disbelief at the scene before him, wondering what kind of monster had just ascended to heaven.
Not only did she possess a chaotic spiritual root, but her comprehension was also at its peak! Before even entering the sect, she achieved enlightenment outside the mountain gate.
Given time, such a person will surely have a limitless future! Doesn't that mean...?
At this moment, Qi Zhuo suddenly felt a faint sense of regret.
He was originally the most promising chief disciple of the Tianyan Sect, and all the sect's cultivation resources were directed towards him.
But if Shi Xuan were to enter the sect... would he still be able to hold onto his position as the chief disciple?
Will Master only value Shi Xuan from now on? Will the sect's resources be tilted towards Shi Xuan in the future?
Bringing Shi Xuan back to the sect seems to have been a mistake...
However, it was impossible to send him away now. Qi Zhuo sighed and, seeing that Shi Xuan couldn't leave anytime soon, returned to the main peak of Tianyan Sect alone.
Sect Master Chengyou Immortal Venerable has already used his supernatural powers to see the scene in front of the mountain gate.
At this moment, seeing Qi Zhuo enter, his eyes were full of satisfaction: "I have already heard that today at the Welcoming Immortal Platform, all the immortal sects were vying for a Chaos Spiritual Root, but that person was brought back to the Heavenly Evolution Sect by Zhuo'er. Haha, Zhuo'er, you did a great job, I am very satisfied."
"Thank you, Master," Qi Zhuo bowed, but his heart was filled with conflict.
Seeing his master's delighted expression, on the one hand, he felt a sense of affirmation for his own abilities, but on the other hand, did it also mean that he would have to be subordinate to Shi Xuan in the future?
Caught in a dilemma, Qi Zhuo stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Master, I had to use some intimidation to bring this person back..."
"Oh?" Immortal Venerable Chengyou raised an eyebrow and asked, "What, does this person not even meet the standards of our Tianyan Sect?"
Qi Zhuo nodded with mixed feelings. On one hand, he felt that what he was doing was not the behavior of a gentleman, but on the other hand, he couldn't help but compete for his master's favor.
He replied, “Reporting to Master, this person’s name is Shi Xuan. When she ascended the Welcoming Immortal Platform, she made it clear that she wanted to come to the Immortal Realm to find a sect called the Lianfeng Sword Sect. It seems that she still misses her sect in the mortal realm. However, there is no Lianfeng Sword Sect in the forty-nine continents of the Immortal Realm, so she had no choice but to come to the Tianyan Sect with me.”
Sure enough, after Qi Zhuo finished speaking, he felt that his master's aura had turned colder.
"You mean, she came to the Upper Realm to find the Lianfeng Sword Sect?" Immortal Venerable Chengyou's gaze narrowed slightly, and the smile on his face disappeared.
Qi Zhuo paused for a moment, then respectfully replied, "That's right."
He replied cautiously, only to find that his master's attitude towards Shi Xuan had changed significantly after hearing that Shi Xuan had no interest in the Tianyan Sect.
If a disciple reluctantly joins the Tianyan Sect, and after the sect has nurtured him with all its might, he gains strength but then betrays the sect and joins another sect, wouldn't the Tianyan Sect be doing all the work for someone else?
However, such geniuses cannot be allowed to wander off to other places, as they could become a threat if they grow up. Therefore, keeping them at home without putting in excessive effort to nurture them is the best option.
As expected, Immortal Venerable Chengyou's expression turned solemn, and he said in a low voice, "When she wakes up, take her to register and make her my personal disciple. As for the rest, I'll think about it and we'll talk about it later."
"yes."
Qi Zhuo respectfully agreed and left the main peak.
Shi Xuan, a master of sudden enlightenment, experienced his first sudden enlightenment in the celestial realm, and entered a deep meditation for a full three days.
The moment she opened her eyes, she felt refreshed and her spiritual energy became much purer.
Fifteen minutes after she awoke from her meditation, Qi Zhuo returned to her side, looking at her with a meaningful gaze and saying, "Junior Sister, you have such talent!"
What I was really thinking was that no matter how talented you are, you can't grow without the right resources.
Shi Xuan clasped his hands in greeting and replied, "You flatter me."
Qi Zhuo smiled and said, "Master has agreed to accept you as his personal disciple. Come with me."
After saying that, he handed her a waist token. With the token, she could fly on a sword within the sect.
Shi Xuan nodded and accepted the waist token, then followed him into the sect.
Over the past three days, many elders and peak masters of the Tianyan Sect have expressed great interest in Shi Xuan, but all of them have been stopped by Immortal Venerable Chengyou. No matter how much others regret that he is going to take on a personal disciple, they cannot say anything more.
Shi Xuan did not meet this new master immediately.
Qi Zhuo arranged for her to stay in a courtyard halfway up the main peak and then left. All her necessities were delivered to her by an outer disciple.
Since Shi Xuan has already arrived, let's make the best of it.
Putting everything else aside, this place is rich in spiritual energy, making it a good place for cultivation, and she hasn't been idle either.
Three more days passed before Immortal Venerable Chengyou finally appeared.
Shi Xuan was summoned to the top of the main peak, where Immortal Venerable Chengyou was already waiting in the main hall.
"Disciple greets Master." Shi Xuan's attitude was impeccable.
"Hmm, no need for formalities," Immortal Venerable Chengyou said with a smile. "I've been busy with affairs these past few days and haven't had a chance to see you. Have you been getting used to it?"
"Reporting to Master, everything is fine."
"That's good," Immortal Venerable Chengyou asked casually, "I heard from Qi Zhuo that you once inquired about a sect?"
“Indeed,” Shi Xuan cupped his hands in greeting, “It is my sect in the mortal realm, the Lianfeng Sword Sect. Before my ascension, the sect leader had some words for me to convey to my grandmaster.”
"Hmm," Immortal Venerable Chengyou nodded with a smile, his expression unchanged, "It's a good thing that you know how to cherish old friendships. However... I've never heard of this Lianfeng Sword Sect before."
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Master," Shi Xuan said. "Perhaps the Sword Master Lianfeng has changed his appearance. I've only just arrived, so there will be plenty of time to find out later."
“Alright,” said Immortal Venerable Chengyou, “Then you can cultivate here in peace. Tomorrow, I will take you to the Tianyuan Divine River to receive baptism. After the baptism, you will officially become a member of the Tianyan Sect.”
When Shi Xuan heard him mention the Tianyuan River, he was puzzled and asked, "Master, what is this Tianyuan River...?"
"Let your senior brother talk to you about it."
Qi Zhuo, who was waiting at the door, came up and led Shi Xuan out of the gate. As they walked, he explained, "The Tianyuan Divine River is the most precious treasure of our Tianyan Sect. Cultivating by the Divine River allows one to travel a thousand miles in a day. After each disciple enters the sect, they have one opportunity to cultivate by the river for a day. If they want to get close to the Divine River again in the future, they need to make meritorious contributions to the sect or make great contributions."
Shi Xuan understood that this was just like the Spirit Tempering Pool she went to when she first went to the Lianfeng Sword Sect.
Judging from their procedures, the sects in the immortal realm are not much different from those in the mortal realm; they are largely the same.
