The majestic Kunlun Mountains were undulating. Even in broad daylight, there would always be shadows, and there would always be places where the sun could not shine.
The martyr's grave was such a place that seemed to be forever hidden in the darkness.
When the dazzling spiritual light shone upon the mountains, everyone gasped in admiration. The light came from far and near, but it did not fall on the back of the dark mountain, unable to shine into the shadows.
The corpse stood silently in the dark courtyard, looking up at the light in the sky and the faintly discernible dragon and tiger phenomenon. It galloped unhindered, arrogant, and symbolized the greatest power in the world.
After a long while, he turned around and walked into the darkness without a sound, like a lonely ghost left behind in the mortal world.
…
The Divine Light of Testimony was a rare cultivation phenomenon. Many cultivators would not be able to see it even once in their lives if it was not for a fortuitous encounter, let alone a regular person.
That was why, although Lu Chen was heavily injured, Su Qingjun helped him sit up in the straw hut on Flying Goose Terrace. She leaned against the window sill and looked out at the strange light in the sky.
Su Qingjun sat by his side and supported him. For some reason, both she and Lu Chen seemed to be unperturbed despite the fact that their identities, positions, and abilities were worlds apart. When she saw the Divine Light of Testimony in the sky, Su Qingjun could not help but feel excited.
Even for a publicly acknowledged genius like her, the Yuanying realm was still a distant goal. There was still a long way to go. Not to mention the legendary Great Gate of Life and Death where geniuses would die prematurely. No one could be certain that they could pass it.
When she collected her excitement and calmed down, Su Qingjun quickly noticed that Lu Chen's expression was a little too calm as he gazed at the mystical light in the distance.
For a lowly errand disciple, the wondrous scene that appeared right now was very likely a realm that he would never be able to reach in his entire life. However, even though Lu Chen looked at it very seriously, he did not seem to be excited or excited at all.
He seemed to be calmer than Su Qingjun, like an indifferent and ordinary person.
"What's wrong?" Su Qingjun asked Lu Chen. She was a little concerned, but also a little curious.
"Hmm?" Lu Chen replied.
Su Qingjun pointed at the light in the sky and said, "You don't seem to be too interested in the Divine Light of Testimony."
Lu Chen was startled for a moment. Then, he smiled and sighed. "Eldest Miss, if you had dozens of wounds on your body like I do right now, the pain would be excruciating, and you would want to faint immediately. You wouldn't be able to lift your spirits for other things."
Su Qingjun gave it some thought and agreed. She sighed softly and said, "I was careless." As she spoke, she helped Lu Chen lie down again and said in a low voice, "You should rest well."
Lu Chen looked at her face and suddenly said, "What you said outside before, were you serious?"
Su Qingjun said, "What?"
Lu Chen said, "Of course, when you announced to your master that you wanted to accept me as a disciple."
"Ah, you heard it?"
Lu Chen closed his eyes and said, "Your voice was not low at that time."
Su Qingjun smiled and said, "I was serious."
Lu Chen sighed and said, "Can I refuse this matter?"
"What?" Su Qingjun was shocked. It was clear that Lu Chen's reaction was beyond her expectations.
Lu Chen didn't say anything and only calmly looked at her. After a moment, Su Qingjun frowned and asked, "Why?"
Lu Chen said, "Your master was not happy."
Su Qingjun nodded and said, "Are you afraid of him?"
Lu Chen said, "Your master is Spiritual Master Yuanying and I am an odd-job disciple. Do you think I should not be afraid of him?"
Su Qingjun was silent. After a while, she softly said, "I clearly only want to accept a disciple …"
"Your identity is not the same." Lu Chen somewhat helplessly interrupted her words and said, "Your talent is too good. Everyone has placed too much hope on you, especially your master. So he will definitely not allow anything that could delay your cultivation to happen. Moreover, I am older than you."
Su Qingjun was startled and said, "You still care about this?"
Lu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "You know I am thick-skinned. Of course I don't care about this. But other people care. You are a 22 year old young lady and you accepted a man who is several years older than you as a disciple. Moreover, his talent is very poor. What do you want other people to think? "
Su Qingjun coldly snorted and a trace of anger flashed across her face. But she didn't say anything.
Lu Chen sighed and said, "Of course, others would only think that you're possessed, or perhaps you're young and insensible, and you've been seduced and bewitched by others. Then no one will come to find trouble with you. But if you really accept me as a disciple, I am afraid that the entire Kunlun Mountain will not be pleasing to the eye. When that time comes, do you think I can live long? "
Su Qingjun looked deeply at Lu Chen and suddenly said, "Your current reaction is completely different from what I originally thought."
Lu Chen said, "Oh, then what did you originally think?"
Su Qingjun said, "I thought that if I told you about this, you would jump three feet high and be elated and in disbelief. Then you would cry bitterly and kneel in front of me, hugging my feet and calling me master."
Lu Chen raised his hand with some difficulty and scratched his head. He smiled and said, "It seems that it should be like this."
"Well, yes, I have already prepared to kick you away." Su Qingjun said calmly.
The corner of Lu Chen's mouth revealed a trace of a smile. He looked at Su Qingjun's beautiful face. After a moment, he gently nodded and said, "Thank you."
"You are welcome."
…
In the end, Lu Chen ultimately did not become the disciple of the Kunlun Party's youngest genius, Jin Dan Su Qingjun. This title, which was enough to make all the younger generation disciples drool, was far away from him.
However, probably in order to make up for the harm that Lu Chen suffered this time, and also to better protect him from being targeted and framed by her own family in the future, under Su Qingjun's insistence, Lu Chen still obtained the title of a nominal disciple.
The title of nominal disciple was very different from the official disciple who formally entered the sect. Basically, it could be seen as a kind of exchange of favors. For example, a certain cultivator with profound cultivation accidentally owed a favor, but this favor was not enough for him to accept a disciple and teach him. Therefore, there was this kind of compromise method and title.
Generally speaking, a nominal disciple could not obtain the master's dao inheritance. It was nothing more than a topic that could be used to brag on normal days, and an excuse to pretend to be fat at one's own cost in times of crisis. Of course, with this title, others could not recklessly bully him. Otherwise, who would know if that master's mood was good or not? If he angered a great cultivator and came to find trouble, wouldn't he be in big trouble?
Therefore, this method was equivalent to Su Qingjun giving Lu Chen a talisman. It was equivalent to indirectly telling the people outside that although this handyman disciple was a waste, he was now a nominal disciple of Su Qingjun. They could not casually bully him anymore, otherwise, she might be angry and not be polite …
For the final result, Masato Kihara did not have any objection. He had seen a lot of nominal disciples, and they were not considered real disciples at all. As long as it did not affect Su Qingjun's cultivation and reputation, he was too lazy to care about the trivial matters of the Su family.
But even so, with Su Qingjun's current reputation in Kunlun Mountain, suddenly having a nominal disciple, even if it was just a handyman disciple, was still very sensational.
Logically speaking, this matter should have been a little troublesome, and people would talk about it for a while. But fortunately, during this period, the matter of Dongfang Tao becoming a Spiritual Master Yuanying was too important. Very soon, it overwhelmed all other trivial matters, allowing Su Qingjun and Lu Chen to breathe a sigh of relief.
After Dongfang Tao's Divine Light of Verification appeared, it meant that he had truly broken through the Great Life and Death Barrier, and become a Spiritual Master Yuanying. However, he did not immediately come out of the cave residence, but continued to cultivate in seclusion for more than half a month.
Most people could understand this. The Yuanying realm was unusually strong, and it was equivalent to being reborn. After breaking through the Great Life and Death Barrier, it was normal for one's aura to be unstable and his foundation to be unstable, and he needed a period of time to stabilize it.
And for cultivators, especially high-level cultivators, the safest place in the world was, of course, the cave residence where they cultivated in seclusion.
Half a month later, Dongfang Tao successfully came out of seclusion. At that time, most of the Kunlun Party's Yuanying Zhenren and Jin Dan Friar were present to congratulate him. Even Lord Tian Lan, who was not in Kunlun Mountain, sent someone to send a congratulatory message.
Among the people present to congratulate him, of course, the leader, Spiritual Master Idle Month, was the leader. At that time, on the Thirty Zhang Peak, there were as many Zhenrens as there were clouds, and Jin Dan Zhenren could be seen everywhere. It could be said to be a gathering of prosperity for a moment, and it was also a rare display of high-level cultivators for the Kunlun Party. It once again revealed to the world the unfathomable strength of the majestic Kunlun.
After Dongfang Tao came out of the cave, he was full of energy, and his eyes were shining. He was full of satisfaction, and he laughed three times towards the blue sky.
Next to him, Yi Xin had already rushed over excitedly, and hugged him with great joy. Dongfang Tao laughed loudly, and then nodded and smiled at Melaleuca Japonica beside him. Then, he strode towards where Spiritual Master Idle Month was. A gift of gratitude was still necessary.
If there were no sects, there would not be so many spiritual materials and resources; if there were no sects, there would not be such a stable and peaceful cultivation environment. These words, everyone knew in their hearts.
Dongfang Tao quickly approached, and just as he was about to greet, he was suddenly startled. He saw that among the group of Yuanying Zhenren in front, Spiritual Master Idle Month was standing at the forefront, smiling and nodding at him. However, in front of everyone else, there was another person standing next to Spiritual Master Idle Month.
It was a little girl who seemed to be only a little over ten years old. Her face was calm, like the snowstorm on the Winter Peak, cold and slightly chilly.
