Chapter 1906
She took a deep breath, stepped out of the group, knelt down, clasped her hands on the ground, and performed a standard apprenticeship ceremony: "Disciple Zimo greets Master!"
"My good disciple." The woman couldn't hide her smile. With a flash of light at her fingertips, she gently lifted Zi Mo and brought him back to her cloud bed. "From now on, with your master here, I will make sure you go further than anyone else in the path of formations."
Chen Xuan watched as Zi Mo sat on the cloud bed, talking quietly with her master, and was genuinely happy for her. Although he had comprehended the Great Dao of Array Formation, he was only studying it in a distracted way and was far inferior to a True Immortal-level master who specialized in it. Zi Mo was fortunate to have this opportunity, and her future achievements in the Dao of Array Formation were likely limitless.
"In that case, I'll join in the fun too."
After a brief silence, a hearty laugh rang out.
A middle-aged man wearing fish-scale battle armor flew down, the armor gleaming with a silvery-blue luster, and a faint killing intent flowing between the scales.
He first glanced at Chen Xuan and Qing Tianyu, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes, before finally turning his gaze to the back: "Zhanxin, Tianxing, would you two be willing to become my disciples?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a heavy aura of divine power swept over them, pressing down on the air in the hall like a surging river.
Chen Xuan was secretly alarmed—this aura was even more profound than that of the divine and demonic generals he had encountered on Xuanxiao Star. This elder looked young, but he was actually a True God-level expert who specialized in the path of gods and demons, undoubtedly one of the most skilled warriors in the sect. He quickly gave Zhan Xin and Tian Xing a look.
"Disciple severs his heart!"
"Disciple Tianxing!"
The two women answered in unison, their voices clear yet firm. As they knelt, their eyes were filled with reverence: "Greetings, Master!"
"Hahaha, good! Good disciples!" Elder Douzhan laughed loudly, and with a wave of his hand, spiritual light enveloped the two of them as they ascended into the sky. "From now on, follow your master, and I will definitely teach you to cultivate the 'Great Dao of Slaughter' to its ultimate level!"
Subsequently, more and more elders descended to take on disciples:
"Lin Yuyao, would you be willing to become my disciple and my personal student?"
"Disciple is willing to pay respects to Master!"
An old man with a dark red demonic mark between his brows flew down. He exuded a faint demonic aura, and black flames were embroidered on the hem of his robe. His gaze fell on Qing Tian Yu'er: "Qing Tian Yu'er, would you be willing to become my disciple?"
"Disciple is willing to pay respects to Master!"
Just as the old man was about to take Yu'er into the sky, Chen Xuan suddenly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Elder, please wait!"
The whole place fell silent instantly.
The fact that a new disciple dared to speak up during the elders' acceptance of new disciples drew mocking looks from the four holy sons—Bai Qianjue raised an eyebrow, and Xuan Hao curled his lips, clearly thinking Chen Xuan was too reckless.
The elder of the demonic path stopped what he was doing, squinted at Chen Xuan, and asked with a hint of scrutiny in his eyes, "What is it?"
"May I ask if Elder primarily cultivates the 'Three Paths of Demonic Cultivation'?" Chen Xuan maintained his bowing posture and spoke respectfully. "If so, Qiu Zixian, who is beside me, may be more in tune with your Great Dao and could become your personal disciple." As he spoke, he turned to look at Qiu Zixian, his eyes full of consideration.
Upon hearing this, the old man glanced at the Star-Gazing Immortal in the void out of the corner of his eye, then looked at Qiu Zixian and slowly shook his head: "She has a more suitable master, she doesn't need to follow me."
Chen Xuan's heart stirred, and he said no more—he vaguely guessed that Qiu Zixian's master might already be someone else.
"Would you two little ones be willing to become my disciples?"
The last to descend was the First Elder on the right. He wore a purple Daoist robe embroidered with sun and moon patterns, stood with his hands behind his back, and his gaze fell on Shang Yu and Bai Lingfei. The two exchanged a glance and quickly kowtowed: "Disciple Shang Yu (Bai Lingfei) greets Master!"
As the Grand Elder led the two into the air, only Chen Xuan and Qiu Zixian remained standing in the center of the vast hall.
Thousands of eyes fell on them—the senior disciples exchanged teasing glances, their lips slightly pursed, seemingly waiting to see them make fools of themselves by being ignored.
Yu'er, Zi Mo, and the others gripped the edge of the cloud bed tightly in their anxiety, their eyes frequently drifting towards the elders' seat, but they dared not make a sound to disturb them; even the four holy sons sat up straight, their eyes full of curiosity.
Time ticked by, and the air seemed to freeze. Just as Chen Xuan couldn't help but frown slightly—
"Wow!"
A beam of azure light suddenly spread out from the void, flowing across the hall like water.
Amidst the spiritual light, a figure in blue robes slowly descended. He wore a blue Taoist robe embroidered with star patterns and a silver Star-Gazing Pendant tied at his waist. He landed without making a sound, yet instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"The Star-Gazing Immortal?!"
The senior disciples gasped in shock, their murmurs subsiding only to erupt again—even the four Holy Sons wore expressions of disbelief, while Bai Qianjue's eyes widened, his voice barely audible to himself: "Master is on the verge of breaking through to Immortal King... and yet he personally steps down to accept disciples at this crucial moment?"
