C401 Personal Disciple
"It was supposed to be a grand occasion for the sect to be promoted to a personal disciple, but the Master and the few deputy Master didn't pass down any orders. Instead, they summoned you directly. I don't dare to guess the deeper meaning behind it."
"I'll send you the token and reward of a personal disciple first."
Gu Changsheng, wearing the cloud pattern Daoist robe, stroked his beard and looked at Lee Yihong and Sung'er with a smile.
"Demon King."
But when he saw Leilei,gu Changsheng's pupils shrank and he was shocked.
Although Leilei who transformed into the purple clothed female did not emit any demonic aura, the purple lightning on her forehead, sharp ears, cat eyes, and the ferocious snake tail behind her butt, as well as the terrifying demonic aura, all of them displayed the power of a Demon King.
Even Leilei didn't bother to hide her identity. Her aura was calm, but her wild and beautiful appearance carried a trace of ferociousness. However, she had restrained the terrifying power of a Demon King. Even ordinary Peak Nirvana Stage warriors could feel that she was a Demon King.
"It doesn't matter. To me, holding a grand ceremony or not is just a form of advancement. I can also obtain more resources from the sect."
Lee Yihong nodded slightly. He didn't care about holding a grand ceremony for the promotion of a personal disciple. A grand ceremony held by a weak disciple was meaningless. It might even be ridiculed by others.
If he was strong, he wouldn't need a grand ceremony to celebrate. He would be able to shock everyone, and there was no need for a grand ceremony to celebrate.
Besides, his family no longer needed the deterrence of his sect. He believed that the news of him breaking through to the Formless Stage had already spread to all the major powers in the world. Those who were on good terms with him would only get closer to him, and those who were on bad terms with him would become more and more wary of him.
"En, you're right."
After nodding his head at Leilei,gu Changsheng retracted his shocked gaze, but the smile on his face became wider and wider when he looked at Lee Yihong.
It was as if there was a demon king following Lee Yihong, and the weight of the demon king suddenly changed.
"Yihong, the disciples of the sect are given rewards according to the rules of the sect. These rewards are also given according to the order. They are not deliberately chosen for anyone. They are all rewards that have been prepared beforehand. Whoever obtains any magic weapon, martial skill, or cultivation skill will depend on luck and fate."
"This purple direct disciple token is the same as the core disciple token. After you drip your blood and acknowledge it as your master, the heart of the Heavenly Palace will know that you are already a direct disciple. You will no longer be ranked on the Prodigy Roll."
"And once you die, the mark within this token will also disappear. It will also instantly lose its master like a magic tool. The heart of the Heavenly Palace will also know immediately. It will also be that you will travel to an extremely distant time and space in the starry sky from now on. The sect will also be able to contact you through this purple token."
"In fact, the direct disciples' tokens can only leave marks behind to communicate with each other."
"This sword is a high-grade magic tool called Tai Yuan. It is also one of the top high-grade magic tools. The accumulated contributions you have made in the sect over the years can probably only be exchanged for such a magic tool. The profoundness of it will be known after you refine it."
"Furthermore, Yihong, you seem to be proficient in the art of spear and sword at the same time. You don't have to trouble yourself to exchange for this sword. Consider yourself lucky."
Seeing that Lee Yihong was measuring the rewards,gu Changsheng continued with a smile, "As for this white jade slip... It is a peak Void Spirit Level martial skill, a martial skill left behind by the seniors of the academy. There are rumors that Yihong created a Void Spirit Level martial skill when he was at the Nirvana Stage, and even a peak Void Spirit Level martial skill. The door can still let you study it."
"But this Interspatial Ring isn't anything special. It's just a magic ring, but there's a Daoist robe and a million spirit stones for a personal disciple."
"This can be considered the sect's praise and encouragement for the personal disciple."
Gu Changsheng said with a smile.
"High-grade magic artifact,tai Yuan, a peak Void Spirit Level martial skill!"
Lee Yihong, who didn't think much of it, could only flash his eyes. The silver longsword and the white jade slip that were sealed by the seal couldn't be seen at all. However, after hearing Gu Changsheng's introduction, Lee Yihong revealed a trace of surprise.
Although he was surprised by the one million spirit stones in the Interspatial Ring, he was even more shocked by the high-grade magic tool,tai Yuan, and the peak Void Spirit Level martial skill. It made Lee Yihong look at the silver sword and the white jade slip with lightning like eyes.
"Buzz ~!"
He waved his hand and refined the purple disciple token. He then put away the silver longsword,tai Yuan, the white jade slip, and the Interspatial Ring on the stone table.
"Huala ~!"
However, Lee Yihong, who had refined the purple token, had a change in his gaze. He could sense the existence of the Heavenly Palace's heart. It was obvious that this purple token was closely related to the Heavenly Palace's heart.
"Thank you,senior Brother Gu. I even asked you to come here personally. I'm really poor right now, and I don't have anything to offer you."
Lee Yihong slightly cupped his fists and said in a self-deprecating manner. Although he could make tea and wine out of thin air, it was meaningless. At this level, he had already seen through all kinds of things. Unless it was white tea with pure spiritual energy or wine that Taoist of Formless Stage could feel, only Formless Stage warriors would be attracted to taste it.
However, Lee Yihong could not condense this kind of thing. Or, it could be said that Lee Yihong could only condense simple matter out of thin air.
Distorting the power of the five elements out of thin air, coupled with the fact that he had condensed a divine weapon out of his own Great Dao true intent. But spirit artifacts with spirituality were hard to condense. Qi Fostering Pills could also be condensed out of thin air, but Qi Fostering Pills could not be formed.
Unless one broke through once more in their cultivation realm, and had a deeper understanding of the profundities of heaven and earth, or even soul life, only then would they be able to condense something with intelligence out of thin air.
Lee Yihong even secretly guessed that the Saints of Ancient Shaman Mountain who broke the rules could condense life out of thin air and create something out of thin air, instead of relying on the power of the five elements to condense some simple matter.
"What's so special about this? I'm happy to be able to run errands for my direct disciple. In the past few hundred years,i have been the happiest in the past two thousand years. After Brother Meng Tian broke through, your Eldest Sister Lee Xinyi also broke through one after another, but perhaps you still don't know that Feng Wuchen,yu Hualong, and Lone Swordman have also successfully condensed their Dao Pills. "
A bright light circulated in Gu Changsheng's eyes. He was very pleased, but he looked straight at Lee Yihong, wanting to see how Lee Yihong had changed.
"What!? Feng Wuchen,yu Hualong, Lone Swordman has already broken through. "
Lee Yihong didn't hide the shock in his heart, but he was truly shocked. Brother Meng Tian was a new personal disciple that had been promoted in a thousand years. This meant that there hadn't been a new Taoist of Formless Stage in the past thousand years in the academy.
After Brother Meng Tian, each and every one of them had made a breakthrough. Five of them had made a breakthrough in a row. This could be considered a golden age.
"Of course, some have broken through, and some have fallen. Bei Daojiu, who was originally ranked fifth, died in battle. Kong, who was ranked sixth, has also fallen. Rahu, who was ranked eighth, died of old age after burning his lifespan. Sixty-five core disciples have died in the past hundred years."
"It's hard to seek the Dao, and it's hard to reach the heavens. If you want to comprehend the artistic conception of the Truth Path, analyze the true intent, condense the Formless Pill, and trap countless people, even the core disciples of our academy will die of old age."
"If that Gu Feng brat is unable to decipher the true intent of the Dao,i'm afraid he will die of old age."
Gu Changsheng shook his head sadly and sighed. Compared to the few people who had broken through, more geniuses had fallen.
Regardless of whether it was dying of old age, dying in battle on the path of seeking the dao, or being assassinated, it could only be considered his own lack of opportunities.
"Sixty-five core disciples have fallen?"
Lee Yihong's heart shook once more. Immediately, he had a feeling of the difficulty of cultivating the Dao, especially when he thought of how he had died in battle. He had almost condensed a Formless Stage Dao Pill, but he had fallen because of his lifespan. Although he hadn't brought along a trace of regret, he had even left the True Intent Imprint with him.
He had fallen on the path of seeking the Dao, and hadn't been able to form a Dao Pill.
"It wasn't just the core disciples. Some of the elders in the sect also died of old age. Apart from Nan Xuan and Pan Zun, who were lucky enough to comprehend a trace of the mysteries of the soul, their souls somehow lived for more than a thousand years, but the rest of them didn't have such fortune. Their lifespan had already dissipated and they died in meditation."
"Zang Sui of Artifact Forging Palace,nebula of the Third Peak of Dao Palace, and the others are all doing their final fighting to take their lives. If they can't form a Dao Pill, their life and death should be within these few days."
Gu Changsheng shook his head slightly. In the eyes of a Formless Stage Daoist, a Nirvana Stage core disciple and a Nirvana Stage elder were like weak, old, and weak beings.
Even if their blood relatives were to die of old age, there was nothing they could do. The loss of their lifespan and soul was something they could do nothing about. They could only watch helplessly as their family members died.
"What? Elder Nebula,elder Zang Sui will also die of old age!"
Lee Yihong's expression changed instantly. He thought of the elder of Artifact Forging Palace with a fiery red beard and a shrunken body. The Hidden Light Ring on his hand was a magic ring personally refined by Elder Zang Sui.
The elder of Nebula Sect who had taken care of him and secretly admired Brother Meng Tian was going to die of old age as well.
