After the test by Bai Wuya, the eight of them were brought to the banquet. Right now, four of them had already been accepted as disciples by immortal kings.
Qin Wentian stood at the back of the crowd, quietly watching everything. It was impossible to say that there were no fluctuations in his heart. Ever since this immortal palace descended, the entire Royal Sacred Region was paying attention to it. He brought with him the heart of a pilgrim, bringing with him his determination, participating in the test and contending against the other geniuses of the immortal realms. Finally, he was accepted as a disciple by the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor.
At that time, he was the center of attention, the immortal kings all congratulated him.
However, in the blink of an eye, he was abandoned by the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor, becoming a spectator. The immortal kings didn't even bother to glance at him. As for geniuses, if they were stripped of their status as disciples of the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor, they were simply insignificant existences. Even before immortal kings, they were existences akin to ants. No one would even bother to glance at you. This was the first lesson that Qin Wentian came into contact with the major powers of the immortal realms.
The respect and reverence for experts in the immortal realms was even more obvious and direct compared to the Royal Sacred Region.
In such a short period of time, Qin Wentian experienced great ups and downs. Even in the eyes of the various immortal kings, these were all great ups and downs that could determine his fate.
However, Qin Wentian had no regrets. He had his own principles. Even if the other party was a supreme character, the Eastern Sage Great Emperor, a hegemon of an immortal realm, he would still stick to his heart. No matter how others viewed him, his heart was resolute.
In the Royal Sacred Region, countless lives could see what was happening in the immortal palace. Although they couldn't hear the sounds, they could faintly guess some things just by looking at the words and actions of those people.
That supreme character sat on the throne the moment he appeared. All the experts bowed to him and Dongsheng Ting stood beside him. From this, one could tell that this person was none other than the main character of this event, the Eastern Sage Great Emperor who was rumored to be accepting a disciple.
Not long ago, Qin Wentian bowed to the Eastern Sage Great Emperor, as though wanting to take him as his master. The experts at the banquet all smiled at Qin Wentian and at that instant, the people of the Royal Sacred Region were all incomparably shocked. Even when competing against the geniuses of the immortal realms, Qin Wentian was still as dazzling as ever. Eventually, he became the disciple of the Eastern Sage Great Emperor?
But just when everyone was thinking this, they soon discovered that the countenances of the Eastern Sage Great Emperor and Qin Wentian had changed. The gazes of the supreme characters at the banquet were all changing as well when they stared at Qin Wentian. After that, Qin Wentian retreated and stood at the edge of the crowd, as though he was completely marginalized and had no status at all. After that, another person replaced him and stood at his position, bowing to the Eastern Sage Great Emperor.
Such a scene caused many to speculate that the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor might have given up on Qin Wentian and chose another person instead. After that, a few others, including Hua Taixu, were all taken in as disciples by the immortal kings. Only Qin Wentian stood at the back, feeling extremely lonely, as though he was forgotten by everyone.
"What happened exactly?" Countless people in the Royal Sacred Region were speculating in their hearts. Those from Grand Xia and Chu were all staring at the immortal palace in the air. What happened to Qin Wentian exactly?
For those who cared about Qin Wentian, they were all worried for Qin Wentian.
In the immortal palace in the air, another person was taken in as a disciple by an immortal king. Out of the eight who went up, five of them chose to take Qin Wentian as their master. It wasn't that all five of them were so outstanding, but rather, it was because this time around, many people gave face to the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor. Since the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor wanted to take in a disciple, they would only accept one. Naturally, the prerequisite was that the disciple must be pleasing to the eye.
Nobody dared to accept Qin Wentian as a disciple. If they were to go against the Eastern Sage Great Emperor and make the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor unhappy, even though they knew that Qin Wentian wasn't inferior to the others, none of them dared to say anything. In fact, they didn't even bother to bother with Qin Wentian.
Dongsheng Ting's gaze occasionally swept over to Qin Wentian. Within his deep eyes, a hint of mockery could be seen. Wanting to ascend to the heavens in a single step? Was that even possible?
This time around, his royal father had already given face to Changqing The Great. He believed that Changqing The Great had also seen it. It was this young man who was too disrespectful and had a bad character.
Qin Wentian's perception was extremely sharp. He could sense the look in Dongsheng Ting's eyes as he silently mused in his heart. Seems like not taking the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor as his master wasn't something to be regretful about. If not, how could a disciple with no status compare to the genius son of Dongsheng Heaven Emperor, Dongsheng Ting? Once he became a subordinate of Deepflame, wouldn't Deepflame be able to do whatever he wanted?
At this moment, Qin Wentian really wanted to leave this awkward place. But since he was here, he couldn't leave even if he wanted to. There was no way for him to return.
At this moment, a strand of will directly gushed into his sea of consciousness, causing Qin Wentian to furrow his brows. He was prepared to resist but a moment later, a voice drifted over, "Don't resist."
Upon hearing this voice, Qin Wentian started. After that, he gave up resisting. Only to see a powerful will directly gushing into his sea of consciousness, causing his heart to involuntarily pound. In Qin Wentian's sea of consciousness, a silhouette appeared in front of him. This silhouette was none other than the White-Robed Immortal King, Bai Wuya.
"There's no need to be shocked, this is my immortal sense. The disparity between our strength is too great, my immortal sense can directly enter your sea of consciousness. You only need to communicate with me through your will." The White-Robed Immortal King spoke to Qin Wentian. "According to what I know, Eastern Sage's disciple recruitment has something to do with Changqing The Great. You should be acquainted with Changqing The Great's daughter, right?"
"I don't know her identity, but the possibility of what senior said is very high." Qin Wentian tried to communicate with Bai Wuya through his will. As expected, Bai Wuya's immortal sense could hear it. He nodded lightly and continued, "In that case, there's nothing wrong with that. The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor should have agreed to his good friend Changqing The Great. But from the ending of this matter, it can be said that Eastern Sage has done his part. After all, this can be considered as you disobeyed him and refused to become his disciple. However, I have no idea if Eastern Sage did this intentionally or unintentionally."
"Naturally, I'm not interested in knowing. I'm merely passing by here. It's a pity to see you in such a situation. Let me ask you, after you broke through to Celestial Phenomenon, which layer of heavenly layer did you condense your astral soul from?" Bai Wuya asked.
"7th layer." Qin Wentian replied.
"Being able to condense a violet-gold astral soul in a particle world. Not bad." Bai Wuya praised, but he wasn't too shocked. He then spoke to Qin Wentian, "The reason why I used immortal sense to communicate with you is because I want to extend an invitation to you. But before I do so, I want to know your intentions. Are you willing to join a power? This power is the one I'm currently in, but I won't say the name of it for now. If you are willing, I will tell you. But if you aren't, just forget about this matter."
If others knew what Bai Wuya said to Qin Wentian, they would surely be greatly shocked. Everyone knew that in the immortal realms, Bai Wuya had never joined any power before. At the very least, no one knew which power he had joined. Everyone thought that he was a lone ranger and was a madman with his own opinions. His combat prowess was extremely strong.
Qin Wentian naturally didn't know about this. He felt somewhat taken aback in his heart. When everyone was blindly following the lead of the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor, this Bai Wuya who had always treated him very favorably actually used immortal sense to communicate with him and even extended an invitation to him.
"Senior, what kind of power is that?" Qin Wentian asked.
"We won't interfere with your freedom, nor will we command you to do anything. However, we also won't provide you with any protective umbrella. You are still you, constantly tempering yourself, seeking to survive in the immortal realms, seeking to strengthen yourself. If you wish to obtain cultivation resources, you have to rely on your own capabilities to fight for them. The only two conditions I have for you is that you have to keep everything about this power a secret. You are not allowed to announce to others that you are a member of this power, or even your kin. Secondly, if you want to join this power, you have to take on an expert as your master. In the immortal realms, you are not allowed to join any other power. If you violate these two conditions, you will be treated as a traitor and will be killed.
Hence, you have to consider this carefully. "Bai Wuya solemnly spoke, his words causing Qin Wentian's heart to tremble. What a mysterious power. The only restriction was that you have to keep it a secret and you are not allowed to join any other power.
"In addition, let me remind you again. The conditions to join this power are: Firstly, outstanding talent, a violet-gold astral soul for your fifth astral soul. Secondly, you cannot be someone from any sect or power in the immortal realms. You have already fulfilled the first condition. Also, you came from a particle world and have no fate with the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, hence you have fulfilled the second condition. And after I, Bai Wuya, broke through to the immortal king realm, I have the qualifications to receive you. Hence, I'm issuing an invitation to you."
Bai Wuya spoke, causing Qin Wentian's heart to tremble. A violet-gold astral soul was required for one to have the qualifications to join this power.
However, this faction placed great importance on secrecy and whether or not you were already a member of another faction. Perhaps this was related to the secretive nature of this faction. It was precisely because of this that Bai Wuya was so cautious. In fact, before he agreed, he wouldn't even tell him which faction he was from.
"Senior, you said that I have to be a disciple of an expert to join this power. What do you mean?" Qin Wentian asked.
"Everyone who joins this power would have to be a disciple of that expert. Hence, if you nod your head, you will be a disciple of the same person as me and can be considered as my junior apprentice brother. However, you and I only need to know each other in our hearts, we cannot acknowledge each other to the outside world." Bai Wuya replied.
Qin Wentian fell silent, he was contemplating.
If he joined this power, he would be a disciple of the same sect as Bai Wuya, and would be considered as the junior apprentice brother of Bai Wuya.
A character like the White Robe Immortal King was actually his senior apprentice brother. From this, one could very well imagine how powerful this mysterious power was. It wouldn't be any weaker compared to the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor.
If he joined the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor as a disciple, he wouldn't be able to receive any guidance unless he broke through to the immortal king realm. But if he joined Bai Wuya's power and entered the immortal king realm, he should be able to come into contact with the core members of this power.
If he joined the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor as a disciple, it was also impossible for him to join any other power. If not, how could the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor spare his life?
The difference was that if he joined the Eastern Sage Sect, everyone in the world would know about it. But if he joined the Eastern Sage Sect as a disciple of the expert Bai Wuya mentioned, he wouldn't be able to speak of this matter to others.
If he joined the Eastern Sage Sect, he would only have a single chance of freedom every thousand years. But if he joined Bai Wuya's sect, he wouldn't be restricted from doing anything.
"When supreme existences accept disciples, they would see if they are pleasing to the eye. For a disciple to choose a sect, isn't it the same? This is fate. Bai Wuya has always regarded me favorably and I also have a good impression of Senior Bai Wuya. Since this is the case, what's there to worry about? Even if I can't join the Eastern Sage Sect, I can always depend on myself." Qin Wentian mused. After which, he replied, "I'm willing."
"Good." Bai Wuya nodded. His immortal sense entered Qin Wentian's consciousness and stared at Qin Wentian as he spoke, "I, Bai Wuya, officially accept Qin Wentian as a disciple of my sect. On behalf of my master, the Realmlord of the Heavenly Talisman Realm, I accept Qin Wentian as a disciple under the Realmlord. Qin Wentian, from today onwards, you are officially a disciple of the Heavenly Talisman Realm."
