Eternal Life from Taking Care of Master's Wife-Chapter 169 - 38: Leaping to the Divine Sea, Carp Becomes Dragon, Sect Leader’s Helplessness
"Currently, there is a disciple named Zhou Chen, who possesses extraordinary talent and excellent character, earning the first place in this assessment. He is awarded the position of True Disciple of the Infinite Sword Sect!"
As Lin Nantian’s words fell, Dongfang Bai, Tang Haiyang, Ye Chang’an, and other disciples were full of envy, yet there was no jealousy.
Zhou Chen proved his worth for the True Disciple position with his own strength, a deserved honor.
None of them combined could match Zhou Chen.
What was more despairing was that Zhou Chen was younger than all of them.
However, they were equally full of fighting spirit. With nine slots for True Disciples, they still had a chance.
Although the competition was fierce, like a thousand troops and horses crossing a single-log bridge, those with ambition will succeed. One must have dreams.
"Congratulations to the Sect Leader and Vice Sect Leader on acquiring such a fine disciple, and congratulations to Young Master Zhou on becoming a True Disciple!"
The guests all stood up to offer congratulations, beaming with smiles.
For a regular True Disciple, it wouldn’t be a big deal. These were important figures who didn’t need to curry favor, but Zhou Chen was different.
Anyone with eyes could see that, barring any premature death, Zhou Chen becoming a Sword Son of the Infinite Sword Sect was almost a certainty, unless another more extraordinary genius came along.
But is that possible?
Though Beishan Dao is vast with a large population, producing a genius like Zhou Chen was exceedingly difficult.
Not to mention a rarity of a thousand years, at least once in a century.
Moreover, with Zhou Chen’s level of genius, unless he faltered later, defeating Zhao Hanyi to become the next Sect Leader was also very possible.
Zhao Hanyi stood coldly behind Lin Nantian wearing an iron mask, her bright, cold eyes observing Zhou Chen.
She remembered Zhou Chen, having met him once before in Yunmeng Marsh.
Though they didn’t speak.
But with her strength, she certainly couldn’t forget.
She didn’t expect to meet again so soon, and he had become her junior brother, and soon her biggest competitor!
"I will not lose!"
Zhao Hanyi vowed silently in her heart, her eyes alight with burning fighting spirit.
So what if Zhou Chen had great talent?
Was she any less?
Currently, she was already far ahead of Zhou Chen. With Immortal Dao Golden Core and Martial Dao Primordial Pill, it wouldn’t be long before she could advance to the Divine Seed Realm.
While Zhou Chen was only at the Body Refining Realm.
Even if he broke through to the Divine Sea, there was still a long way to go to catch up with her!
Stay steady!
The advantage is mine!
...
In the midst of congratulatory voices, Zhou Chen became the most outstanding young man present, with Dongfang Bai, Tang Haiyang, Ye Chang’an, and other talents simply serving as foils.
More frustrating for them was that they still had to continue with the second and third rounds of assessments later, so they could only take pills and silently recover.
Fortunately, Zhou Chen showed restraint and didn’t severely injure them, or they wouldn’t have been able to complete the next rounds today.
Zhou Chen, becoming a True Disciple, received treatment far exceeding that of becoming a True Disciple at the Cyan Cloud Sect.
Firstly,
Zhou Chen could select a small peak in the Infinite Mountain Range as his training ground. Although called a small peak, it was not in the least smaller than the Divine Arrow Peak of the Cyan Cloud Sect.
Additionally, due to the presence of a top-grade Spirit Vein, the Spiritual Qi here far surpassed that of the Cyan Cloud Sect.
Secondly,
Zhou Chen could receive one piece each of Tier Five Divine Armor, equivalent to two pieces of Tier Five Divine Weapon, one for attack and one for defense.
Since Zhou Chen practiced Immortal Martial Dual Cultivation, with his Immortal Dao cultivation reaching Foundation Establishment Perfection, he could also receive a set of top-grade Spiritual Artifacts, one for attack and one for defense.
Then comes the pills and spirit stones. With various pills to mention, there were a bunch of everything, and one hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones.
After that, one thousand low-grade Spirit Stones per month.
Finally,
Zhou Chen also received ownership of two precious gold mines, where gold is not gold but metal veins used for crafting Divine Weapons and Dharma Artifacts.
There were also other properties like mansions and shops in Beishan City.
In short,
Zhou Chen became immensely wealthy overnight, directly surpassing ninety-nine percent of people.
The entry assessment concluded.
Zhou Chen followed Huangfu Yueyao to an Immortal Mountain, her place called Yueyao Peak.
Zhou Chen chose a peak next to Yueyao Peak as his training ground, naming it Red Dust Peak.
Red Dust Peak, among the Immortal Mountains of the Infinite Sword Sect, was just considered small, but no smaller than the Divine Arrow Peak, with palatial buildings, pavilions, terraces, flowing springs, and waterfalls, a scene of wonder and celestial atmosphere.
"As expected of the ruler of a path. Even a peak not ranked at the top surpasses the main peak of the Cyan Cloud Sect!"
Qing Yuyao examined Red Dust Peak, feeling emotional at heart.
Qing’e Fairy was very excited, her ample bosom heaving. Despite being the former courtesan of Bai Yujing, the Infinite Sword Sect remained an unattainable existence for her.
Hongzhu showed no particular expression, having lived long in the Infinite Sword Sect, accompanying Huangfu Yueyao, whose Immortal Mountain surpassed this one by far.
Zhou Chen’s peak was merely a subsidiary peak to Yueyao Peak.
"Sister Hongzhu, please collect the True Disciple pills and other items on my behalf. I’m heading to cultivate right away!"
Zhou Chen was eager to make a breakthrough.
The second realm of Martial Dao, the Divine Power Realm, was what he had been longing for.
"Yes, Young Master!"
Hongzhu took Zhou Chen’s True Disciple Token and left, while Qing’e and Qing Yuyao helped Zhou Chen organize his residence and settled down for a while.
Zhou Chen went to the prepared cultivation cave dwelling, protected by an array, which drew on the underground top-grade spirit vein, with Spiritual Qi far exceeding other places.
"Exhale!"
"Inhale!"
Zhou Chen took a deep breath, feeling refreshed and invigorated, the rich Spiritual Qi making his whole body comfortable.
Zhou Chen’s 129,600 pores seemed to open up, greedily breathing in.
Activating the array, Zhou Chen sat cross-legged on a Cold Jade Bed, indeed the benefits of a True Disciple are great, even the cultivation cave dwelling had a Cold Jade Bed.
