"I've never seen a Bloodline True Disk emit such a pure light. It means that your bloodline is very pure." Elder Li laughed and patted Chen Zong's shoulder. The joy in his heart was reflected on his face, which made Chen Zong's heart skip a beat. Fortunately, Elder Li didn't ask why his bloodline was so pure.
Chen Zong guessed that the reason why the Bloodline True Disk emitted such a pure light was closely related to his Blood Qi Perfection.
This was a secret. At least for now, Chen Zong didn't want anyone else to know about it because he wasn't strong enough.
"Elder, what kind of light would the Bloodline True Disk emit if it was mixed with a demon's bloodline?" Chen Zong asked curiously.
"The light emitted by a human's bloodline is milky white and bright. The light emitted by a demon's bloodline is black and red, dark and gloomy." Elder Li was in a good mood. He laughed and said, "Come, follow me to see the Palace Lords. I can tell you clearly that you're about to have a great opportunity."
His tone made Chen Zong's heart beat faster.
The purpose of the bloodline test was to verify whether Chen Zong was a pure human or a member of the Black Demon Sect. The purpose was to focus on training Chen Zong.
Now that he had passed the test, how would he be trained?
There was no free meal in the world. Chen Zong understood this principle. However, some things had to be seized when they appeared. It was natural that he had to pay a price after the fact. Of course, the price had to be within his tolerance. He couldn't go against his principles.
Moreover, Chen Zong was very curious about what the Palace Lords of the Real Sword Academy were like.
He couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Our Real Sword Academy has seven founders. It has been passed down from generation to generation, so there are seven Palace Lords." Elder Li led Chen Zong out of the ancestral hall and walked to the other side. His attitude seemed to be much better than before. "Because of the accident in the Western Wilderness Hunt, four Palace Lords went out to investigate the stronghold of the Black Demon Sect. Two of them are cultivating in seclusion. You can only meet one Palace Lord."
"Elder, which Palace Lord do I have to meet?" Chen Zong asked.
The titles of the seven Palace Masters of each generation were different.
"This is the new Palace Lord, Huan Yun," Elder Li said with a smile.
"Adept Huan Yun." Chen Zong felt that the name Huan Yun was very familiar. "Elder, are Huan Yun the Venerable and Huan Yun the Swordsman the same person?"
Normally speaking, the names of powerful individuals would not be repeated, or else it would lead to conflict. Someone had to back down, or else it would be a life and death battle.
"Before the breakthrough, it was Swordsman Huan Yun. After the breakthrough, it was Sage Huan Yun." Elder Li smiled and said, "It was because of the breakthrough that he was qualified to become one of the new Palace Lords."
Chen Zong felt less anxious. After all, he had met Huan Yun Swordsman before and received some pointers from him. Chen Zong would never forget what Huan Yun Swordsman had done for him. However, he did not have the ability to repay Huan Yun Swordsman.
The Real Sword Academy was very big. The seven Academy Lords lived in the deepest part of the academy.
Every Palace Master had a different residence. Under Elder Li's lead, Chen Zong came to a small courtyard that looked simple and elegant.
The sky was blue and the clouds were white. The small courtyard was quiet and had an indescribable elegance.
Above the closed door, there was a black plaque with three white words written on it: Residence of Huan Yun.
Chen Zong stared at the three words, and he was able to sense the lightness and elegance contained within them. It was natural like flowing water, and it was like drifting clouds that changed indeterminately. Moreover, it even contained traces of sharpness and sharpness in its depths.
"Adept Huan Yun, Elder Li Zhengyi is here to see you." Elder Li stood outside the door. His voice was neither loud nor soft, and his expression was serious.
"Please come in." A gentle voice came from the small courtyard. It was very gentle and gave Chen Zong a familiar feeling. The door of the small courtyard naturally opened inwards.
The moment the door of the small courtyard opened, Chen Zong seemed to smell a very unique scent. His entire body and mind relaxed, but he did not appear to be relaxed.
Following behind Elder Li, Chen Zong took a deep breath and strode up the stairs into the small courtyard.
As soon as he stepped in, Chen Zong felt as if he had stepped into another world.
It was just a small courtyard, but it seemed to extend infinitely. The sky was blue and the clouds were white. The sky was high and the heart was broad. It seemed to be a small world of its own.
However, Chen Zong's spiritual willpower had been further improved and strengthened after being sharpened by the seven patriarch statues in the ancestral hall. Soon, he woke up from this illusion. In front of him, a middle-aged man in a cloud-white robe was sitting in a comfortable posture.
He held a sword in his right hand in front of him. There were cloud patterns on the sword, which seemed to be flowing. His left hand held a soft white cloth on the sword and wiped it carefully. His gentle movements and attentive eyes were as if he was treating his true love. He was filled with a natural and peaceful aura, as if he was standing aloof from worldly affairs.
Elder Li did not speak. Chen Zong also stood quietly. He looked away from the middle-aged man in the white robe and carefully looked around. As he looked, Chen Zong's face was full of surprise, and then there was a look of enlightenment in his eyes.
The decorations around the courtyard seemed simple, but there was something special about it. The key was the position of the decorations. It felt natural, as if it could fit with nature.
It was also because of this that he had the illusion of being in a small world when he stepped into the courtyard.
"I wonder who set this up?"
"Could it be Senior Huan Yun?"
While thinking, Chen Zong's eyes returned to the sword in Huan Yun's right hand. It was one of the legendary swords, the Flowing Cloud Sword.
After carefully wiping it again, Huan Yun gently put down the soft white cloth in his hand and wiped the Flowing Cloud Sword in his hand back into its sheath.
"Little brother, we meet again." Huan Yun's appearance was very ordinary, but his temperament was very unique. It was like the clouds in the sky. His eyes were clear as if they could reflect the blue sky and white clouds. Compared to when he was in the Seven Luminaries Martial Academy, he was even more unfathomable.
"Disciple Chen Zong greets the Palace Master." Chen Zong bowed. "Thank you for your guidance that day."
"I just gave you a few pointers. It's your ability to comprehend it." Huan Yun smiled. It was like the white clouds in the sky. "I just didn't expect you to comprehend the combination of mind, eye, and hand in such a short time and step into the realm of martial arts. You even became the Palace Master disciple of the True Sword Academy in such a short time."
"If it wasn't for the guidance that day, I wouldn't have been able to comprehend it and step into the realm of martial arts." Chen Zong said. This was the truth.
No matter how smart a person was, he or she had to know where to go and where to go. Otherwise, he or she would only be lost and wandering. It was like a chef with great cooking skills. He or she could make delicious dishes that would leave a lasting aftertaste. However, if he or she lacked the necessary ingredients and kitchen utensils, he or she would be wasting his or her skills.
Huan Yun's guidance that day, although it was only a few words, it was equivalent to opening a door for Chen Zong and pointing him to a path. Unknowingly, it saved Chen Zong a lot of time.
"You and I have met three times. It's fate. And you have the talent to practice the sword." Huan Yun put away the smile on his face and said seriously, "I wanted to take you as my disciple and teach you with all my heart, but you are very talented and I am not qualified to be your master. However, I still want to ask you, are you willing to practice with me?"
Elder Li, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but tremble. His face was full of surprise.
Huan Yun broke through to the seventh Lv of the True Martial Realm two years ago and became the seventh Palace Master of the True Sword Academy. In terms of age, he was the youngest among the seven Palace Masters. In terms of cultivation, he was also the weakest. However, in terms of strength, he was not the weakest. He was ranked fourth.
The one who ranked first was at the ninth Lv of the True Martial Realm. There was no doubt about his strength. It should be known that the difference in strength between each level of the True Martial Realm was very obvious.
The ones ranked second and third were both at the eighth Lv of the True Martial Realm.
The ones ranked fifth, sixth, and seventh were all at the seventh Lv of the True Martial Realm. However, their cultivations were all at the late or peak of the seventh Lv.
Huan Yun's cultivation was only at the early stage of the seventh Lv of the True Martial Realm. However, his strength was ranked fourth, which was enough to show that he was outstanding.
If he wanted to take in a disciple, countless people would fight to the death for the opportunity once the news spread. However, Huan Yun said that he was not qualified to be Chen Zong's teacher. He must have overestimated Chen Zong's talent.
Daoist Master Huan Yun's words shocked Chen Zong.
All this time, Chen Zong had been cultivating by himself. He knew very well how difficult it was. If he had a good teacher to guide him, it would be very good.
Just as Huan Yun had said, they had met three times and had received guidance from him. It was fate.
"I am willing to take you as my teacher." With this thought, Chen Zong took three steps forward and was about to bow in front of Huan Yun. Huan Yun reached out his hand and stopped Chen Zong from kneeling.
"Chen Zong, I am very satisfied with your intention. However, I have already said that I can't be your teacher." Huan Yun smiled and said in an indisputable tone, "If you are willing, you can practice with me. I will teach you everything I know. How much you can learn is up to you."
"Thank you, Senior." Since Huan Yun had said so, Chen Zong did not insist on taking him as his teacher. However, he would remember this kindness in his heart.
"Chen Zong, you must practice with the Palace Master well." Elder Li said. Then he looked at Huan Yun and said, "Palace Master, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
Elder Li's original purpose of bringing Chen Zong here was to let Huan Yun take a look at him and then receive some guidance from him. Obviously, the result was much better than he had expected.
The only difference between this and being a personal disciple was the title.
"Chen Zong, go back and pack up. After this, you can stay with me for the time being," Huan Yun said.
"Yes." Chen Zong was also happy to stay. He felt that living here made his mind clear and refreshed. It was more conducive to cultivation.
If other disciples of the Real Sword Academy knew that Chen Zong could live in Huan Yun's Residence and receive guidance from Huan Yun at all times, they would be extremely jealous.
After all, even the Seven Sword Sons were only qualified to receive guidance from the seven Palace Masters. They could not live in places like Huan Yun's Residence, let alone receive guidance from them at all times.
