In the entire Nine Firmaments Palace, there were less than 120 Dao Children. The reason there were so few of them was simple. Not only did the Dao Children of Nine Firmaments Palace have strict requirements for their cultivation base, they also had strict requirements for their age.
Only by reaching the Dao Querying Realm before the age of 70 could one become a Dao Child. If one wanted to continue being a Dao Child, one would need to break through a major realm every 20 years. If one failed to break through a major realm within 20 years, one would automatically become a Deacon of Nine Firmaments Palace. Then, one would slowly become an Elder.
Due to such strict requirements, there were less than 120 Dao Children of Nine Firmaments Palace.
Although some could break through to the Dao Querying Realm before the age of 70, breaking through to the Dao Confirmation Realm or even higher within 20 years was too difficult. The higher one's cultivation base was, the more difficult it would be to break through. It would also take more time.
Take the Ruler of Nine Firmaments Palace for example. One cultivation retreat could take decades. In the end, it was very likely that they would not make any progress. That was a very normal thing.
However, for Dao Children, if they were to break through to the Dao Gate stage, they would be able to directly become elders of Nine Firmaments Palace. With that, they would be able to obtain a great deal of resources. Barring any unexpected incidents, they would at least be able to become a Primary Elder in the future. In fact, they might even become the Peak Lords of the nine peaks.
This was Nine Firmaments Palace's perfect promotion system. And now, another Dao Child had been born. The ringing continued for half an hour before the bell in the sky slowly dissipated.
Xiao Chen retracted his gaze from the sky and slowly said, "If it weren't for the fact that geniuses are everywhere, the most dazzling among the countless disciples of Nine Firmaments Palace would be these Dao Children."
Being born in this era, the Dao Children of Nine Firmaments Palace were somewhat miserable. Originally, they were the idols of countless disciples. However, due to the advent of the era of geniuses, the light of the geniuses had completely overshadowed the light of the Dao Children.
Although the present cultivation bases of the geniuses were not high, it was only a matter of time before they became Dao Children. Thus, most people's eyes and attention were placed on these geniuses. As for the Dao Children, no one cared about them at all.
Xiao Chen sighed inwardly. Of course, the Dao Children were aware of these changes. However, what could they do about it? Living in this era, there was nothing he could do about it.
He did not think too much about it. Xiao Chen knew that Dao Children were the true core of Nine Firmaments Palace. They were the future pillars of Nine Firmaments Palace. After these Dao Children grew up, they would become the next generation of elders of Nine Firmaments Palace. However, for Xiao Chen, becoming a Dao Child was just a matter of time. Thus, there was nothing worth paying attention to.
His days were peaceful again. Xiao Chen was immersed in cultivation every day. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. In this half a month, Xiao Chen had finally completed the cultivation of all 100 basic sword techniques.
Possessing 100 Basic Sword Techniques that had reached the Transformation Stage, Xiao Chen could vaguely sense that his Sword Techniques had undergone a transformation. Thus, without hesitation, Xiao Chen went to the Martial Skills Hall and collected another 100 Basic Sword Techniques.
The cultivation of Basic Sword Techniques was endless. Xiao Chen understood this very well. The more Basic Sword Techniques he mastered, the greater the benefits it would bring him. No matter how many changes there were, they were all derived from the basics. From this, one could see how important Basic Sword Techniques were to a sword cultivator.
As Xiao Chen was immersed in his cultivation once more, another invitation card was sent to the Immaculate Residence.
"A Dao Child is inviting me to a banquet?" Xiao Chen muttered as he sat in the garden of the Immaculate Residence and looked at the invitation card in his hand.
This invitation card was sent by the newly promoted Dao Child some time ago. In order to celebrate his promotion to Dao Child, this person was going to hold a banquet and invite some of his friends to attend, including Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen didn't know this person or even his name. Looking at the signature on the invitation card, Yan Kang, Xiao Chen had no impression of this person at all. However, this person had invited him to a banquet.
"Are you going?" Qin Shuirou, who was sitting next to Xiao Chen, asked.
"Let's go. I've just been promoted to Dao Child. It's not good to turn him down. Moreover, this person shouldn't have any ill intentions," Xiao Chen replied to Qin Shuirou's inquiry.
In the end, he decided to attend. After all, he didn't sense any ill intentions from Yan Kang's words. Moreover, he had just been promoted to Dao Child. It would be inappropriate for him to refuse. After thinking about it, Xiao Chen decided to go.
The banquet was to be held on the mountain peak that Yan Kang had just been assigned. As a Dao Child, he had his own mountain peak.
The time was set to be three days later. At dusk on the third day, Xiao Chen left the Dustless Residence alone. He had originally planned to bring Qin Shuirou along, but Qin Shuirou said that he didn't want to go. Thus, Xiao Chen had no choice but to go alone.
He had already prepared a congratulatory gift in advance. It was a Dao Querying Pill. For someone who had just broken through to the Dao Querying Realm, the Dao Querying Pill was definitely a precious treasure that couldn't be bought with money.
This was because the most important thing for Dao Querying Realm warriors was to find their own Dao. The Dao Querying Pill could allow one to enter a state of emptiness for a short period of time. Such a state of cultivation was like a heaven-sent opportunity for enlightenment. However, it was a pity that everyone could only take one Dao Querying Pill in their lifetime. The second one would have no effect.
It was already an extremely expensive gift. Of course, it was nothing to Xiao Chen. With Dao Master Danyun as his master, a mere Dao Querying Pill wasn't a problem. Moreover, this was only a Red Vein Dao Querying Pill, which was casually refined by Dao Master Danyun.
With the congratulatory gift in hand, Xiao Chen quickly arrived at the mountain peak that Yan Kang was at. It was located in the east of the nine sacred mountains. It was a small mountain peak. When Xiao Chen arrived at the foot of the mountain, a Mighty God Peak disciple hurriedly came forward to welcome him. This person was clearly Yan Kang's junior brother. He was in charge of receiving guests here. Naturally, he wouldn't dare to slight a heavyweight like Xiao Chen.
He personally led Xiao Chen up the mountain. Along the way, this disciple appeared nervous. There was no helping it. Xiao Chen's fame had long spread throughout Nine Firmaments Palace.
The Aquamarine Waves Empire fought against Mu He. The Heavenly Dawn King's Prideful King took in geniuses as his followers. His various feats were worthy of admiration and respect.
He respectfully led Xiao Chen all the way to the mountain peak. Clearly, he had received the news in advance. Before Xiao Chen appeared, Yan Kang, who was wearing the robes of a Dao Child, was already waiting there. Seeing Xiao Chen walk over, Yan Kang quickly stepped forward to welcome him.
"Brother Xiao Chen, please forgive me for not coming out to meet you. Please forgive me."
