Inside Dark Feather Hall, the three Extreme Mortal Realm Elders stared at the battle with wide eyes. Whether it was Yu Zhengxiao or Chen Zong, the strength displayed by the two had already surpassed the limit of Nine Star.
"This kind of combat power is at least beyond the First Pole." One of the Elders whispered to the other two.
"It's already very close to the Second Pole." The other Elder said with certainty, but his heart was filled with emotion. Back in the day, he could also be considered a genius, but his strength before breaking through to the Transcendent Realm was far inferior to these two.
Back then, the three of them couldn't even reach the First Pole, let alone the Second Pole. No, they couldn't even reach the limit of Nine Star.
The so-called First Pole referred to a level higher than the limit of Nine Star, and the Second Pole was naturally a level higher than the First Pole. Above the Second Pole, there was a Third Pole.
After fighting for half a quarter of an hour, the two had used all kinds of fighting methods, from close combat to sword and saber attacks.
"Enough." The Dark Feather Mountain Lord's voice sounded again. Chen Zong and Yu Zhengxiao stopped their attacks at the same time. Thousands of saber and sword shadows remained in Dark Feather Hall, dissipating after a few breaths.
"Good seedling. I see that your cultivation is only at the mid-Nine-star level, but your combat power is close to the Second Pole. When you reach the limit of Nine Star, I'm afraid that your strength will reach the Third Pole." The person to the left of the Dark Feather Mountain Lord spoke, his voice filled with the vicissitudes of life, "This old man is Elder Cang Ming. Chen Zong, are you willing to worship this old man as your Master?"
"If you worship this Elder as your Master, this Elder promises that he will focus on training you. You will definitely enter the Transcendent Realm." Before Chen Zong could answer, Elder Cang Ming spoke again and made a heavy promise.
But for Chen Zong, this heavy promise wasn't very attractive, because it wasn't that difficult for him to reach the Transcendent Realm.
He only needed to comprehend the True Meaning of Sword Force, then combine the five Minor True Meanings into the True Meaning of Sword. Then, he would be able to break through and step into the Transcendent Realm, reaching the Extreme Mortal Realm.
"Elder Cang Ming, the disciples under you are all very good. It will take a lot of effort to teach them, so there's no need to increase the pressure," the Dark Feather Mountain's mountain lord suddenly said, "Chen Zong, I wish to take you in as my disciple. Are you willing?"
"Mountain Lord, you …" Even though his face was a little blurry, everyone could imagine Elder Cang Ming's exasperated expression.
Yu Zhengxiao's face was filled with shock, and the three elders were dumbfounded.
The Lord of Blue Feather Mountain had actually opened his mouth to take in a disciple of his own accord.
"Thank you for your favor, Mountain Master. But I once joined a Sect on Chaotian Island." Though Chen Zong was astonished, he didn't refuse or agree directly. Instead, he said this.
"It doesn't matter. Chaotian Island and Blue Waves Continent are thousands of miles apart. They have nothing to do with each other." The Dark Feather Mountain Master smiled and said, "Furthermore, we warriors pursue the pinnacle of martial arts. If there is an opportunity, we must seize it. Even if you acknowledge me as your master now, in the future, if you meet someone stronger or more suitable, you can continue to acknowledge me as your master. I, Dark Feather, am not so pedantic."
In the past, he had rejected Ancestor Tian Hong of the Jinghong Sword Sect because he was in the Unhindered Sword Sect.
Even though he was expelled by the Unhindered Sword Sect, he was forced to do so by the circumstances. It was a decision made in consideration of the lives of all the disciples in the Sect. Chen Zong didn't complain. On the contrary, he was grateful to Doyen Yuan Lingzi.
Therefore, in his heart, Chen Zong had always considered himself as a disciple of the Unhindered Sword Sect.
But now that the Dark Feather Mountain Master said this, it was obvious that he didn't care about Chen Zong's identity. Since that was the case, Chen Zong had no reason to refuse.
Without a doubt, acknowledging the Dark Feather Mountain Master as his master was definitely better than acknowledging Elder Cang Ming as his master.
Ignoring Elder Cang Ming's gloominess, the Dark Feather Mountain Master smiled happily.
"Well, Chen Zong will stay. You all can leave first." The Dark Feather Mountain Master said directly.
Even though he was unhappy, Elder Cang Ming knew that he couldn't win against the Dark Feather Mountain Master. The result was already set, so he could only leave. Yu Zhengxiao and the three Extreme Mortal Stage elders bowed and left.
In the huge Dark Feather Palace, only the Dark Feather Mountain Master and Chen Zong were left.
The Dark Feather Mountain Master's face became clear, as if the clouds were parted to reveal the bright moon.
He had a face that seemed to be around forty years old. His appearance was ordinary, but there were obvious crow's feet at the corners of his eyes. His hair was grey, but his eyes were incomparably deep and filled with wisdom. They looked like the endless sea, but also like the vast starry sky.
"Chen Zong, I have accepted three disciples to date. My eldest disciple is called Tang Guao. He is over a hundred years old and his cultivation level is at the Earth Spirit Realm. He is also one of the Earth Realm elders of the Dark Feather Mountain Master. However, he is not in the Dark Feather Mountain right now. He is currently in the Abyss Underground, "the Dark Feather Mountain Master's deep gaze landed on Chen Zong as he spoke slowly. His voice overlapped and had a unique rhythm." The second disciple is called Feng Shigui. He is over sixty years old and his cultivation level is at the Extreme Mortal Stage. He is one of the esoteric disciples of the Dark Feather Mountain. He is also not in the mountain right now. He is working with other esoteric disciples to open up a secondary world. "
"Secondary world?" Chen Zong heard a term that he did not understand.
"The Blue Waves World that we are in is a main world. You can imagine the Blue Waves World as a big bubble." While speaking, the Dark Feather Mountain Master waved his hand and a big bubble appeared in front of him. Shortly after, small bubbles adhered to the big bubble. "These small bubbles adhered to the main world are the secondary worlds. There are many secondary worlds, and every secondary world is either similar or different. For us, every secondary world represents a new resource land."
Chen Zong immediately understood. He was not too surprised because when he had obtained the first three transformations of the Will Change, he had seen the magnificent wonders of the universe.
Seeing that there was no obvious change in Chen Zong's expression, the Dark Feather Mountain Master was even more satisfied with the temperament of this disciple. Little did he know that Chen Zong had seen even more wonderful scenes before.
For example, after seeing a ten thousand zhang tall mountain, seeing a ten thousand zhang tall mountain would not be so shocking. After seeing a vast ocean, seeing a lake again would not be so surprising.
"Chen Zong, the power you use is different from pseudo spiritual power, but it is stronger than pseudo spiritual power. It is similar to our Dark Feather Mountain's unique secret technique, Feather Aura Technique, but it seems to be stronger. It seems that you have encountered a good opportunity." The Dark Feather Mountain Master said.
"Master is wise. This disciple has indeed encountered some opportunities and was lucky enough to condense this force. This disciple has named it Nihility Sword Force." Chen Zong said, "If Master needs it, this disciple will copy down the cultivation method."
"Hahaha, you cunning little fellow, there is no need to test me." The Dark Feather Mountain Master suddenly laughed and said, "Nihility Sword Force is indeed very good. It might even be better than Feather Aura Technique. However, that is your opportunity. If you are not willing to hand it over, no one can take it away."
Hearing the Dark Feather Mountain Master's words, Chen Zong immediately felt more at ease.
"Since you have acknowledged me as your Master, I have an obligation to protect you." The Dark Feather Mountain Master said again, "From now on, if you have any questions about cultivation, as long as I am not in retreat, you can ask me."
"Yes, Master." Chen Zong thanked him.
"I observed your battle with Yu Zhengxiao just now. In addition to that powerful Nihility Sword Force, you have also grasped half-step sword force. This level of comprehension is indeed amazing. In terms of potential, Yu Zhengxiao is not as good as you." The Dark Feather Mountain Master did not hide his admiration, "But you must be clear that this is not a reason for you to be arrogant and complacent. This world is very big. Since ancient times, countless geniuses have been born. As far as Master knows, there have been Heaven defying geniuses below the Transcendent Realm who can fight against Transcendents."
Hearing this, Chen Zong was shocked.
Being able to fight against Transcendents before reaching the Transcendent Realm, even if it was only against the weakest First Layer Mortal Realm, it was still extremely shocking.
This was not the situation where he had relied on the power of the Heaven Ascension Tower.
Thinking about it, his current strength was obviously stronger than a peak Nine Star, but in front of an Extreme Mortal Realm master, he was still weak and insignificant.
"But you don't need to belittle yourself. That kind of Heaven defying genius is too rare. Not even one will appear in a thousand years." The Dark Feather Mountain Master said, "Now, how many Minor True Meanings have you comprehended?"
"Reporting to Master, disciple has comprehended the True Meaning of Water Flow, True Meaning of Sword Force, True Meaning of Sword Speed, True Meaning of Sword Edge, and True Meaning of Sword Sharpness." Chen Zong reported truthfully.
"Five Minor True Meanings. With your age and background, being able to comprehend five Minor True Meanings is indeed amazing." The Dark Feather Mountain Master nodded. As a Profound Sky Realm master, his vision had already surpassed many people. This matter that was enough to shock many people, in his eyes, was just a small surprise.
"From now on, your cultivation should focus on improving your cultivation and comprehending the Minor True Meanings." The Dark Feather Mountain Master pondered for a moment before saying, "Your current cultivation is at the peak Nine Star Realm, and you can continue to improve until you reach the peak Nine Star Realm. This improvement will allow your strength to improve further. Reaching the third Extreme Mortal Realm is not impossible. Moreover, comprehending the Minor True Meanings will be of great help to your future cultivation in the Transcendent Realm. Moreover, the moment you break through to the Transcendent Realm, the more True Meanings you comprehend, the more stable your foundation will be, and the more benefits you will receive."
Chen Zong listened attentively. This was an experience he had never understood before. It could be said that every word was a gem.
"As for the breakthrough from half-step Sword Form to Sword Form, it will depend on luck." The Dark Feather Mountain Master said. Sword Form was the World's Force, a kind of power that belonged to the Transcendent Realm. Under normal circumstances, only Transcendents could comprehend and grasp it. It could even be said that the majority of Extreme Mortal Realm masters would find it difficult to comprehend and grasp the World's Force.
"In addition, my Dark Feather Mountain Master has a secret Martial Art. You can also cultivate it to further improve your combat strength."
"This booklet records all kinds of information about our Dark Feather Mountain Master and the Remote Yuan Heavenly Sect. Take it back and read it carefully." After the Dark Feather Mountain Master finished speaking, he waved his hand and a booklet flew over to Chen Zong. Chen Zong respectfully received it with both hands. He did not immediately flip through it, but instead put it away in his bosom.
"Since you are my third disciple, from today onwards, you are also a Core Disciple of Dark Feather Mountain Master. Later, someone will lead you to choose a cave dwelling and receive all the equipment of a Core Disciple," the Dark Feather Mountain Master said.
"Honoured Master, disciple has something to report," Chen Zong said.
"Speak."
"Before this, disciple once …" Chen Zong recounted the matter of Bright Light Mountain and waited for the Dark Feather Mountain Master's response.
