Next, in the Testing Hall, it was like an old man and an old woman in a wet market arguing endlessly over a single cent. They didn't give in to each other, and they even quoted classics to increase their persuasiveness.
This scene caused Chu Mu to be dumbstruck. It also caused Han Yue to be dumbstruck. The middle aged man in charge of the test and the old man who brought Chu Mu over were also full of shock. Soon after, their faces turned into bitter smiles.
Who would have imagined that the elders of the few lines of the Five Element Sword Sect would actually be like people that were selling vegetables at a market, bargaining and arguing endlessly? If this scene was seen by the other disciples, they would surely feel disbelief and extreme astonishment.
Aside from being shocked, Han Yue's heart was also filled with jealousy. His gaze would occasionally sweep past Chu Mu, but it would always carry dense hostility.
Just now, when he was tested, these elders did not argue like this. They only said a few words, and in the end, he belonged to the Metal Faction and became a direct disciple. But now, he was being fought over.
The five elders argued. The old man in the black robe, who rarely spoke, coughed and suppressed the voices of the five elders.
"Elders, Chu Mu will join the main faction as a direct disciple. He will enjoy the treatment of a direct disciple." The old man in the black robe said slowly. There was an unshakable firmness in his tone, as if he was not discussing, but directly announcing the result.
"Elder Xuan, you can't say it like that." Who knew that the other elders would not give in to him and would argue again.
"Chu Mu has mastered the power of the five elements. He is most suitable for the main faction. Don't you know this?" Elder Xuan said.
The five elders instantly went silent. Indeed, no matter what, Chu Mu had grasped the power of the five elements. Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, no matter which one it was, weren't very profound. There were many people who grasped them, but there weren't many sword practitioners who could grasp all five elements. This was all due to talent or fortuitous encounters.
The Five Elements Sword Sect was divided into six factions. The five factions of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the faction of the sect master were called the main faction.
Each faction emphasized different things. To become a disciple of the main faction, one must master the power of the five elements.
After a round of argument, Elder Xuan finally made the decision.
Han Yue was even more jealous.
The main faction had the least number of disciples among the six factions, but the resources allocated to them were the most. Entering the main faction would definitely be more beneficial to one's cultivation. He had passed through the first stage of the Five Elements Heaven Challenge and had directly obtained the qualifications of a true disciple, entering the Metal Faction. Chu Mu had also passed through the first stage of the Five Elements Heaven Challenge and had also obtained the qualifications of a true disciple. However, he was actually enjoying the treatment of a personal disciple.
Personal disciples were one level higher than True Disciples. Naturally, the treatment they received was also one level higher.
Since the distribution was complete, some factions were happy while others were sad. The elders sighed in their hearts. The main branch was going to be stronger. They left with all sorts of regrets. As for Elder Xuan, she happily brought Chu Mu away from the testing hall.
…
The light broke through the sky. This Elder Xuan did not rely on any flying weapons. He directly used his own aura to envelop Chu Mu and flew towards the main branch of the Five Elements Sword Sect.
The Five Elements Sword Sect dominated the Five Elements Mountain Range. They occupied countless peaks, with six of them being the main peak.
These six peaks had their own names. The main peak was called the Sect Master Peak. The other five peaks were called the Glorious Gold Peak, Green Wood Peak, Clear Water Peak, Raging Fire Peak, and Thick Earth Peak.
The peaks of the five peaks were located in five different directions of the Sect Master Peak. They also commanded many other peaks.
Elder Xuan brought Chu Mu over the Sect Master Peak and brought Chu Mu directly to the True Disciple Peak.
Along the way, Elder Xuan briefly explained the various aspects of the Five Elements Sword Sect to Chu Mu.
Within the Five Elements Sword Sect, the elders each lived in a peak. As for the disciples, only those who had reached the level of Esoteric Disciple could obtain the right to live in a peak. Those below Esoteric Disciple did not have this right.
Of course, there was always an exception. Elder Xuan did not elaborate on this exception.
Chu Mu seemed to have casually mentioned the Sect Master of the Five Elements Sword Sect. However, Elder Xuan said that the Sect Master was in seclusion.
After bringing Chu Mu to the True Disciple Peak, Elder Xuan gave the deacon some instructions and left.
When they arrived at the True Disciple Peak, the True Disciple Peak's deacon naturally received Chu Mu.
"He's only at the beginning stage of the Third Heaven of Creation Realm … but he has to enjoy the treatment of a True Disciple …" The deacon who received Chu Mu frowned and was puzzled.
In the Five Elements Sword Sect, most of the True Disciples were at least at the Fourth Heaven of Creation Realm. The True Disciples were even more impressive. The most outstanding one was at the Sixth Heaven of Creation Realm. Most of them were at the Seventh Heaven of Creation Realm and above.
He believed that he was not mistaken. Chu Mu's cultivation was only at the beginning stage of the Third Heaven of Creation Realm. However, Elder Xuan had personally brought him here with such a cultivation. Furthermore, he was directly promoted to a True Disciple and was even told that he could enjoy the treatment of a True Disciple.
With a thought, the deacon immediately revealed a friendly smile and warmly received Chu Mu. If he guessed correctly, this person was either an important descendant of Elder Xuan or a peerless genius who possessed the Power of the Five Elements.
Elder Xuan was an Elder with real power in the Sect Master's line. Furthermore, he was very powerful. The juniors that he valued could not be underestimated and absolutely could not be offended. If it was the latter, then it was even more complicated.
In theory, the Sect Master's line was most suitable for swordsmen who possessed the Power of the Five Elements. However, swordsmen who truly possessed the Power of the Five Elements were in the minority. Furthermore, not all of them would be accepted by the Five Elements Sword Sect. Only a small portion of them would be accepted.
It was difficult to support the entire Sect Master's line by relying on a small number of swordsmen who possessed the Power of the Five Elements. Therefore, swordsmen who did not possess the Power of the Five Elements were also qualified to join the Sect Master's line.
Of course, not everyone was qualified. They had to master at least three of the Power of the Five Elements. Furthermore, they had to be at the top of the Heaven Rank.
Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.
"My name is Jiang Bei. I'm the reception deacon of the Successor Peak. You can call me Deacon Jiang." Jiang Bei said to Chu Mu with a friendly smile.
Although his current cultivation was much higher than Chu Mu's, and if they were to fight, he could also kill Chu Mu with one sword strike. However, he did not dare to offend Chu Mu because Chu Mu had a better future than him.
Deacons were usually disciples of the sect who had cultivated to a certain extent and felt that it would be difficult for them to break through or that even if they broke through, they would not be able to improve much. Simply put, their potential was about to be exhausted. At this time, the sect would not waste resources on them.
They were faced with two choices. One was to earn more resources on their own, and the other was to serve the sect and become a deacon.
Most people chose to become a deacon.
Therefore, the deacons in the sect seemed to have some status, but in fact, they were the choices of those who had no future.
Jiang Bei was kind enough to help Chu Mu obtain the sword token of the identity of a successor disciple of the main branch of the Five Elements Sword Sect. However, what he issued were the robes, swords, and inner armors of the successor disciples.
Chu Mu was surprised to find that the robes were treasures. They were top-grade Emperor level treasures. They were more outstanding than ordinary top-grade Emperor level treasures. Even the underwear and inner armor were top-grade Emperor level treasures.
For the Sword Of Gojoseon, the top-grade Emperor level treasures and inner armor could not withstand their attacks. However, in any case, they could always weaken the power to a certain extent.
Furthermore, these were only the robes given to the direct disciples of the Five Elements Sword Sect. All of the direct disciples had these robes. Furthermore, they were the best of the best. This was something that no sect in the Immemorial World could compare to.
As for the sword, it was a top-grade Saint Sword. It was stronger than the Violent Thunder Sacred Sword that Chu Mu had obtained in the Flying Heaven Pavilion.
Because this low-grade Saint Sword called the Five Elements Sword had a certain increase in the power of the five elements. Whether it was the speed of cultivating the power of the five elements or the power of the five elements, it had a 10% increase.
The shock that this Saint Sword gave to Chu Mu was even stronger than the treasures and inner armor.
Although he did not know how many successor disciples there were in the Five Elements Sword Sect, it was enough to show that the Five Elements Sword Sect had a deep foundation.
"Chu Mu, there are some things that I have to make clear to you." Jiang Bei said, "Although you are a successor disciple, you enjoy the treatment of a successor disciple. However, this is the Successor Peak after all, not the Successor Peak. Therefore, in some aspects, you can't compare with a successor disciple."
Chu Mu was not surprised.
"First of all, the density and purity of the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth can't be compared with the Successor Peak. Furthermore, the identity sword token of a successor disciple has the effect of assisting cultivation, but the identity sword token of a successor disciple doesn't have this effect." Jiang Bei explained, "However, in terms of the supply of Yuan Qi pills, it is the normal standard for a successor disciple. In fact, there are some benefits because in the Five Elements Sword Sect, there is no prohibition against fighting between disciples. Only by fighting can one better stimulate one's potential. With your current strength, if you enter the Successor Peak, I'm afraid the consequences will be very bad. In the Successor Peak, you can still deal with some people."
Chu Mu nodded.
"Since you can understand, I won't say anymore. Now, choose a cave to be your place of residence and cultivation." Jiang Bei took out a jade plate and activated it after injecting sword energy. The jade plate showed the distribution of all the caves in the Successor Peak.
The Successor Peak was a mountain peak. From low to high, there were many caves. The density and purity of the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth also had obvious differences. The highest cave had the densest and purest Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth. At the same time, the power of the five elements was also the clearest.
"You can enjoy the treatment of a personal disciple. In that case, you have the authority to choose the cave abode at the highest level. Coincidentally, one of the ten cave abodes at the highest level is now vacant. The original owner of that cave abode was promoted to a personal disciple. You can choose that cave abode." Jiang Bei pointed at a cave dwelling displayed on the jade plate and said to Chu Mu, "If you choose this cave dwelling, I have to tell you that its original owner is the number one successor disciple of the main branch, Xue Qi. That cave dwelling is not better than the other nine. At most, it is equal. However, if you choose that cave dwelling, it is very likely that you will face some strong enemies."
