"That's impossible."
Xuan Ming hesitated for a moment before shaking his head. What kind of joke was this?
It would have been fine if it was done in private, but how could he do it in front of so many people?
"Let's go!"
With a wave of his sleeve, he turned around and left with the disciples he had recruited.
Before leaving, he threw a sentence at Ling Xiao, "You will regret this!"
Ling Xiao didn't reply, only smiling faintly. He, Ling Xiao, would never regret what he had done. Even if he died because of it, it was his own choice. What was there to regret?
He looked at Jiutian Meng and said, "Palace Master, can you take in a few of my friends to cultivate in Jiutian Palace?"
"Of course."
Out of so many people, only Ling Xiao was willing to choose Jiutian Palace. To Jiutian Meng, Ling Xiao had given them so much face, so what if they took in a few more people?
Moreover, Ling Xiao's friends weren't bad either.
Although Jiutian Palace had only accepted female disciples before, the situation had changed. Jiutian Palace had declined, and if they wanted to compete with the forces of Black Tortoise Continent, they had to change this stubborn and old-fashioned way of thinking.
Accepting both male and female disciples could be considered her first try.
"Let's go, Ling Xiao. You can rest assured that whatever reward Black Tortoise Temple can give you, Jiutian Palace will do our best to satisfy.
Cold Plum, Long Chen, Blue Snow, and Hong Yue will do the same. "
Jiutian Meng was in a good mood. Jiutian Palace had re-entered the world and could recruit so many people. It was really a great fortune.
In the Land of Lightning, Jiumo Sword and the others were already waiting there.
Ling Xiao had used Cang Jing Family's temple as a foundation to set up a teleportation array to the Land of Lightning.
It was to avoid being hunted down by Black Tortoise Temple.
As long as they hid in the Land of Lightning, it would be very difficult for Black Tortoise Temple to find them.
With the help of the Myriad Lightning Immortal-slaying Array, Ling Xiao wasn't afraid of Black Tortoise Temple's people.
Of course, the situation had changed. The appearance of Nine Heavens Palace had changed Ling Xiao's original plan.
He hoped that Ji Luoyu and the others could also enter the Nine Heavens Palace to cultivate.
Although Ji Luoyu and Feng Minglian's aptitudes were not as good as Long Chen's, they were better than most martial artists.
They deserved better opportunities to cultivate.
As for Mo Yu and Zhu Shaocong, their aptitudes might be even worse than Ji Luoyu and Feng Minglian.
However, he was still considered a genius.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have made it into the list of finalists for the White Tiger Meet.
The Nine Heavens Palace was still very welcoming towards them.
After handing these people over to Ling Xiao, Hong Qi bid farewell to the Liquor Demon Sword.
Their target was the Black Tortoise Continent.
They were going to investigate the true purpose of the Five Great Powers of the Western Region. This was also what Ling Xiao wanted to know.
With these two together, Ling Xiao was at ease.
Hong Qi's cultivation had almost recovered to the Rebirth Realm, and the Liquor Demon Sword was definitely one of the best among the Rebirth Realm martial artists. At the very least, he was not inferior to the Elders of the Five Great Powers.
They were qualified to go to the Black Tortoise Continent.
After separating, Ling Xiao and the others stepped into a dreamlike space and arrived at the Nine Heavens Palace.
What surprised Ling Xiao was that the Nine Heavens Palace was actually an independent space.
It was almost completely isolated from the outside world. One could only enter and exit through a transmission array.
This was also the reason why the Black Tortoise Temple's scheme did not cause the Nine Heavens Palace to fall.
However, after arriving at the Nine Heavens Palace, Ling Xiao realized how miserable it was.
"This is our current situation. In the previous incident, our Nine Heavens Palace suffered heavy losses. We only have a total of eleven people left.
Sigh, now you understand. I'm really thirsty for talent. If you join the Nine Heavens Palace, you will receive the best martial arts and guidance.
Nine Heavens Dew and I will personally guide your cultivation. "
Nine Heavens Dream looked at Ling Xiao and the others and couldn't help but shake her head with a bitter smile.
"It looks like we've bet on the right treasure."
Ling Xiao wasn't mocking himself, but thinking from the bottom of his heart.
In comparison, the Black Tortoise Continent had many disciples from the Five Great Powers, and more than enough genius disciples.
After those geniuses joined, they would receive benefits, but not as much as they did.
Nor would they have as much freedom as they did.
Nine Heavens Dream didn't put on any airs in front of Ling Xiao. She really did treat Ling Xiao as a friend.
She was even considering giving the position of Nine Heavens Palace Head to Ling Xiao.
She probably knew in her heart that as long as a genius like Ling Xiao didn't die, he would become an existence that everyone in the Profound World looked up to in the future.
She or Xuan Ming would widen the gap between them and this terrifying genius.
She had seen Ling Xiao's battles with the other geniuses. Even compared to Feng Feiye and Tianhai Tyranny, Ling Xiao was clearly on a higher level.
"Everyone, sit down. There's no need to be polite. Our Nine Heavens Palace can only be considered a small sect now. There are only so many of us, and there aren't many rules to speak of. In the future, when Nine Heavens Palace rises again, you will all be elders."
Nine Heavens Dream wasn't just polite to Ling Xiao, but to Ling Xiao's friends as well.
She knew that Ling Xiao was a sentimental person.
But while she was being polite, the others were still a little reserved.
Although Nine Heavens Palace only had 11 people left, five of them were Rebirth Realm experts. The rest were Lifeseizers who were much stronger than them.
But Ling Xiao wasn't so reserved.
His cultivation base couldn't compare to the others, but his mentality wasn't inferior.
He knew that in the future, he would be even stronger than these people. And it wouldn't be for long.
Seeing Ling Xiao sit down, Cold Plum, Long Chen, and the others slowly sat as well. Still, they felt a little uneasy.
Nine Heavens Dream smiled. "To tell the truth, I should be thanking you all for choosing Nine Heavens Palace. Even after knowing the truth, you still didn't give up on your original idea.
Ling Xiao, can you tell us about the story between you and the old palace head? "
Ling Xiao nodded. There was nothing to hide, so he chose the important points to explain.
"I never thought that the old palace head would give you the remnants of his cultivation base. It looks like you're worthy of being half a disciple."
After hearing Ling Xiao's words, Nine Heavens Dream saw the purity in Ling Xiao's eyes. There was no trace of a lie, so she was willing to believe it.
Thus, she said solemnly, "I once made a grave mistake that caused the old palace head to fall into such a state. Today, I will give you the position of palace head of Nine Heavens Palace."
"Absolutely not."
Ling Xiao shook his head.
"You don't like the position?"
Nine Heavens Dream frowned.
"To tell you the truth, I'm the Celestial Emperor of Heaven. In the future, the White Tiger Continent will belong to the Celestial Empire. I have great ambitions, and I want to rebuild the Sacred Dynasty of Myriad Races. In the future, I want to unify the Profound World.
If you really want to give me the position of palace head, then I suggest you take Nine Heavens Palace with you to the Celestial Empire and become a part of us.
In the future, if the Celestial Empire agrees to take over the White Tiger Continent, Nine Heavens Palace will become the Holy Land of the White Tiger Continent. "
Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment, then spoke his true thoughts.
