The procedures to enter the Heavenly Pool Palace were simple. With Xu Lang, a titled Celestial Emperor, leading the way, everything went smoothly.
"This is the place where the disciples of my sect cultivate," said Qin Wentian.
Under Xu Lang's lead, Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er arrived at a floating island that was surrounded by lofty mountains.
The lofty mountains and lofty forests covered a vast area. One could vaguely see caves everywhere. Many people could be seen shuttling back and forth.
"I have a total of six prodigious disciples under me … As for the people you see now, they are basically their family members or friends."
Xu Lang said to Duan Lingtian as he looked at the lofty mountains and lofty mountains.
"Here, there are a total of ten dangerous peaks. The peak in the middle is where I cultivate … As for the other nine peaks, six of them are occupied by the prodigious disciples of my sect. You can choose one of the other three as your cultivation ground in the future. "
Xu Lang paused for a moment before he continued to say, "You should rest for a few days before you apply for the prodigious disciple assessment at the Sword Trial Pavilion. There are many benefits to becoming a prodigious disciple in the Heavenly Pool Palace."
"Becoming a prodigious disciple?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes glinted.
Previously, when he was participating in the Heavenly Pool Palace's new disciple assessment, he had heard many people talking about the prodigious disciples in the Heavenly Pool Palace.
Did they have to pass the assessment to become a prodigious disciple in the Heavenly Pool Palace?
"How do I pass the assessment?"
Duan Lingtian asked curiously.
"You can challenge other prodigious disciples of the same age group. It's similar to the new disciple selection where all of you were in groups of 200 to 300 years old. In the Heavenly Pool Palace, there are ten spots for prodigious disciples in this age group."
If you want to pass the assessment, you'll have to challenge the last prodigious disciple in the Sword Trial Pavilion.
"In the Sword Trial Pavilion, there are rankings of prodigious disciples of various ages … When you return and apply to participate in the prodigious disciple assessment, you'll be able to see the rankings in the Sword Trial Pavilion."
Xu Lang explained.
"Now, follow me to my cultivation place. I'll summon a few of my prodigious disciples from the Heavenly Pool Palace to meet you," Duan Ling Tian said.
"Unlike some titled Celestial Emperors, the prodigious disciples of my sect are ranked based on age instead of strength.
As soon as Xu Lang finished speaking, he brought Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er to his cultivation place.
At the peak of the mountain in the middle of the forest, there was a vast platform. Behind the platform, there was a palace.
This was also the place where Xu Lang usually cultivated.
Xu Lang led Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er into the palace. At the same time, Xu Lang sent a few messages to his subordinates before leading them to the main hall of the palace.
A moment later, the sound of wind whistling could be heard from afar. In the blink of an eye, they had entered the main hall.
"Teacher, where did you kidnap our Seventh Junior Brother from?"
A series of laughter rang in the air before a plump man appeared. The plump man was dressed in a red robe. Due to his weight, his facial features were scrunched up as he looked around the main hall.
Finally, his gaze landed on Duan Lingtian.
"Your Seventh Junior Brother is a new disciple who joined the Heavenly Pool Palace today."
As soon as Xu Lang finished speaking, two figures appeared in the hall.
One of them was a beautiful woman dressed in a blue robe. She had an elegant bearing. Her gaze was gentle when she looked at Duan Lingtian. "Hello, Seventh Junior Brother. I'm your Fourth Senior Sister."
The other person was a young man dressed in a black robe. He carried a sheathed sword on his back. His expression was cold, but his gaze softened slightly when he looked at Duan Lingtian.
"Hello, Seventh Junior Brother."
The black-clad young man nodded at Duan Lingtian.
"Seventh Junior Brother, this is Second Senior Brother. Second Senior Brother is the strongest among us. He's not even 1,000 years old, but he's already a powerful Celestial Emperor. "
At this moment, the plump man dressed in a red robe introduced the black-clad young man to Duan Lingtian. At the same time, he did not forget to introduce himself. "As for me, I'm your Sixth Senior Brother."
"Hmm, if you can defeat me, you can call me by my name."
The plump man said with a smile.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
A few moments later, two figures appeared in the hall. One of them was a beautiful woman dressed in a red robe, and the other was a young man dressed like a scholar.
"You're Seventh Junior Brother?"
The beautiful woman dressed in a red robe walked up to Duan Lingtian. Under Duan Lingtian's shocked gaze, she lifted Duan Lingtian's chin and said, "Not bad, you're quite handsome. Seventh Junior Brother, are you interested in having a romantic relationship with Third Senior Sister?"
"Hmph!"
Huan 'er, who was standing next to Duan Lingtian, was infuriated by the woman's actions. She scoffed and slapped the woman's hand away.
"Oh? You're my sister-in-law? I'm sorry … I didn't notice you earlier. However, sister-in-law, why are you wearing a veil? "
The woman in red was the first to withdraw her hand. When Huan 'er's hand missed, she lifted her hand and removed the veil from Huan' er's face.
Huan 'er's peerless beauty was revealed to everyone.
At this moment, the hall fell into a deathly silence.
Even the woman in red was stunned for a long time before she said with a sigh, "I didn't expect there to be a woman who's comparable to First Senior Sister in this world … No, I should say there's a woman who's even more beautiful than First Senior Sister."
"Hmph!"
As soon as the woman in red finished speaking, the black-clad young man scoffed. The woman in red smiled awkwardly and said, "Second Senior Brother, I was just joking."
"Seventh Junior Brother, Sister-in-law, Third Senior Sister has no ill intentions … I'm your Fifth Senior Brother, Ouyang Qi Fei."
The young man who was dressed like a scholar nodded and smiled at Duan Ling Tian and Duan Ling Tian before he introduced himself.
"Duan Lingtian, this is your Second Senior Brother, Lu Ji."
At this moment, Xu Lang, the Verdant Prairie Celestial Emperor, introduced his five prodigious disciples to Duan Lingtian.
Lu Ji nodded at Duan Lingtian with a faint smile on his stiff and cold face.
"This is your Third Senior Sister, Hu Mei."
Then, Xu Lang turned to the woman in red and introduced her to Duan Lingtian. The woman in red winked at Duan Lingtian as though she was trying to seduce him.
She only withdrew her gaze when she saw Huan 'er glaring at her.
"This is your Fourth Senior Sister, Wen Wan 'er."
Then, Xu Lang turned to the blue-clad woman and introduced her to Duan Lingtian. The blue-clad woman nodded and smiled warmly at Duan Lingtian.
"This is your Fifth Senior Brother, Ouyang Qi Fei. He introduced himself earlier."
Then, Xu Lang looked at the scholarly young man and said, "He's the only one among your senior brothers who's normal."
Upon hearing Xu Lang's words, the fat man looked at Xu Lang with a hint of resentment in his eyes. "Teacher, although you're a teacher, you can't slander me like this, right?
"Why don't you tell me how I, Hong Fei, am abnormal? If you don't explain yourself today, I'll hug your leg and not let go. "
As soon as the fat man finished speaking, he rolled towards Xu Lang like a ball. In the end, he really hugged Xu Lang's thigh, looking like he would not let go even if he was beaten to death.
"Scram!"
Alas, Xu Lang was a titled Celestial Emperor, naturally, he would not allow the fat man to do as he pleased. Following Xu Lang's shout, a tyrannical force swept out from Xu Lang's leg and sent the fatty flying. He crashed heavily into a pillar in the palace.
Boom!
Rumble!!
…
Following a series of earth-shaking noises, the entire palace shook a few times. However, the fatty who had crashed into the pillar seemed to be completely fine. His entire body was covered in an earthen yellow light as he continued to look at Xu Lang with resentment in his eyes. "Teacher, how can you treat me like this?"
Upon seeing this, Duan Lingtian's mouth twitched slightly.
Although the five people in front of him were Xu Lang's prodigious disciples, they did not seem like proper disciples at all.
They seemed more like a group of scoundrels.
"Little Junior Brother, do you think our teacher doesn't act like a teacher at all?"
The red-clad woman who was Duan Ling Tian's current Third Senior Sister, Hu Mei, smiled and said, "Actually, all of us respect Teacher a lot. However, Teacher is more amiable and is willing to be friends with us. We can't deprive him of this little bit of power."
If we treat him like an elder, he'll be unhappy.
Therefore, just treat him as a friend from now on. "
Hu Mei said with a smile.
"Hu Mei, you've led this fat man astray, and now you're leading Duan Lingtian astray as well?"
Xu Lang glared at Hu Mei angrily. Although he looked angry, Duan Ling Tian could feel that Xu Lang was just putting on an act. He was not really angry.
"Little Junior Brother, you'll get used to it after staying with us for a while. Although our teacher is a titled Celestial Emperor, he doesn't care about trifles in front of his own people."
Wen Wan 'er, Duan Lingtian's Fourth Senior Sister, looked at Duan Lingtian and smiled gently.
"Alright."
Duan Lingtian nodded. For some reason, a warm feeling rose in his heart. For a moment, he even felt like he was at home.
Perhaps, this was the carefree life of a family.
Previously, when Xu Lang led the way, Duan Lingtian had thought he was Xu Lang's true self. Perhaps, Xu Lang's true self was Duan Lingtian's true self.
"Sigh … Now that I have Old Seven, I am no longer the Little Junior Brother. Fatty really lacks love now, and no one loves him."
Hong Fei, the Sixth Senior Brother, sighed and shrugged.
"Fatty, you make it sound like you didn't lack love when you were Little Junior Brother."
Hu Mei, the Third Senior Sister, rolled her eyes at Hong Fei. Then, she looked at Hong Fei's fat body and said, "If you're as handsome as Little Junior Brother, I'll definitely love and dote on you. However, with your current appearance, I really can't bring myself to love and dote on you."
