"Alright, stop pretending to be unconscious! This old man knows that when Fang Yue sent you here, you were already awake! "Ling Dong was thinking about how to deal with it when the old voice spoke again.
What made Ling Dong feel extremely strange was that the old man in front of him could be called Grandmaster by the inexplicable expert who had captured him here. One could imagine his cultivation level. But the strange thing was that Ling Dong could not sense any fluctuation of Gang Qi from the old man in front of him!
If the old man had not taken the initiative to speak, Ling Dong would not have been able to sense the old man's position at all. Ling Dong had never encountered such a situation before.
"Could this old man be some kind of hidden expert?" Ling Dong thought to himself, but ignored the old man's words and continued to lie on the ground and pretend to be unconscious. It was not that Ling Dong was acting shamelessly, but Ling Dong was also very nervous now.
Not knowing the old man's cultivation level and not knowing why the old man had captured him, Ling Dong did not know how to deal with it for a while.
"Hmm?" The old man not far from Ling Dong saw that after he spoke, Ling Dong did not make any move. While frowning, his half-closed eyes slightly raised. Wherever his gaze fell, a faint silver light flashed, and even the air seemed to be distorted a little!
That terrifying gaze that caused the void to glow finally fell on Ling Dong.
Just as Ling Dong was considering whether or not he should wait for the old man to close in and launch a lightning-fast attack, his body suddenly trembled uncontrollably. An extremely dense killing intent and majestic Gang Qi seemed to want to crush Ling Dong into pieces!
Ling Dong felt as if a mountain had suddenly fallen on top of his head. Panic instantly filled Ling Dong's entire body! Almost at the same time, Ling Dong opened his eyes, straightened his waist, and drew his sword. His movements were smooth, and he was ready to meet the attack that was like a falling mountain.
Ling Dong felt that under this kind of life and death situation, his reaction was the fastest and most perfect.
However, right at the moment when the Sword of Greedy Wolf appeared in his hand, Ling Dong suddenly felt his hand become empty. When he finally reacted and lowered his head, the Sword of Greedy Wolf was already hovering in front of the old man.
What terrified Ling Dong even more was that not only was the Greedy Wolf black sword in his hand snatched away, but a powerful and icy cold energy that felt like the power of divine soul had enveloped his entire body, causing the circulation of his energy to slow down by at least ten thousand times, or even hundreds of thousands of times!
Originally, it would only take a thought for him to send the Stellar Qi out of his body from the Fiend Core in his dantian. However, Ling Dong now felt that the Stellar Qi had not crawled out of his dantian even after a few breaths. It was as if the Fiend Core in his Dantian was no longer under his control.
The only thing that gave Ling Dong some hope was that the Star Master Plate in the depths of his Sea of Consciousness had begun to spin crazily again.
Every time it spun, Ling Dong could feel that the Fiend Core in his body was under his control a little bit more. At this moment, Ling Dong finally gave the old man a proper look.
The old man was not bad looking. He had white eyebrows, a white beard, and silver hair. His face was red, and he was wearing a robe made of hemp. He gave off an air of immortality, but his imposing manner was a little too powerful.
Ling Dong raised his head and gave the old man a glance. Coincidentally, their gazes met in midair. Once again, a pale silver light flashed in the air. However, Ling Dong let out a muffled groan, as if he had been struck by a tremendous force. His entire body seemed to be sent flying by that gaze. However, the powerful power that had restricted Ling Dong's movement just now had fixed its gaze on Ling Dong, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Gang Spirit …" Ling Dong, who had suffered such a heavy blow, blurted out a word that shocked himself. Feng Xuelei had once reminded Ling Dong that the strong practitioners of Gang Spirit Realm generally lived in seclusion. However, each of them had earth-shattering abilities. Feng Xuelei had once seen a Gang Spirit Realm martial artist, who could hurt him with only his gaze!
That was why Ling Dong had said so!
Hearing Ling Dong's exclamation, the old man with white eyebrows in hemp clothes was slightly stunned. Then he said, "You know a Gang Spirit Realm martial artist. You are quite knowledgeable! Come on, come in with me. I have no malice towards you! "
While speaking, the old man closed his eyes under the white eyebrows. All kinds of suppression on Ling Dong's body suddenly disappeared. The Gang Spirit in his body, including the control of his body, returned to Ling Dong's control. Then, without looking at Ling Dong again, the old man walked leisurely towards the tidy cave behind him.
The words "Stargazing Residence" were written on the entrance of the cave.
Seeing the old man enter the Stargazing Residence alone, Ling Dong had no intention of escaping. Ling Dong was clear that the old man was 100% sure that he could not escape since he could leave him alone outside the door. Otherwise, he would not leave Ling Dong here so generously and add "I have no malice".
However, Ling Dong was not in a hurry to go in. First, he looked around the surrounding environment, which was a habit of Ling Dong.
But as soon as he looked around, Ling Dong was stunned. Looking at the buildings in the distance and the shape of the mountain in front of him, he felt that he was still in the mountain gate of True Gang Sect.
"If that's the case, I'm still in True Dipper Sect and the mysterious expert who captured me must be a Heaven Dipper Realm martial artist in True Dipper Sect. Since the Heaven Dipper Realm martial artist in True Dipper Sect addressed this old man as Martial Ancestor, then this old man must be the legendary Martial Ancestor of True Dipper Sect. And his cultivation is still in Gang Spirit Realm … "
Coming to this conclusion, Ling Dong was surprised. Then his hands and feet became cold, and a sense of powerlessness suddenly surged into his heart!
This sense of powerlessness was not born for True Gang Sect, but for Ling Dong's great enemy Gu Tongtian and Sky Kui Sect!
The True Gang Sect had a top grandmaster in the Gang Spirit Realm. But even so, it was destroyed by Gu Tongtian and the people of the Kui Sect in the previous life. Didn't the Kui Sect also have a master in the Gang Spirit Realm?
"Ridiculous! I fought with Sky Kui Sect for one or two hundred years in my previous life, but I didn't even know this!" Mocking himself, Ling Dong shook his head hard to get rid of the coldness and the fear brought by the strength of the future enemy out of his body. Then he strode to the cave.
"Humph, I have such a high starting point in this life. No matter how many strong men there are, I will defeat them!" Ling Dong's character was like this. He was indomitable. No matter how big the blow was, he could recover in the blink of an eye and become high-spirited again.
After Ling Dong entered the Stargazing Residence, he was surprised to see a flight of stairs going up. The stairs were so long that he couldn't see the end of it. Ling Dong had to go up honestly.
After walking for about half an hour, an open space appeared in front of Ling Dong. A small valley surrounded by mountains appeared in front of Ling Dong. It was very clean and tidy.
Ling Dong was very curious about the small valley that was surrounded by mountains on all sides. It was really rare to see such a regular small valley. When he turned his head to look at the mountain wall, Ling Dong sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Hiss!" The mountain wall was as smooth as a mirror without any protrusion. Ling Dong judged that it should be directly cut by a powerful man with a sword. Ling Dong could also use a sword to flatten mountain rocks. However, he didn't have the ability to carve out such a small valley surrounded by mountains. Ling Dong didn't have the ability to do so!
"Junior Ling Dong pays his respects to senior!" Ling Dong took the initiative to introduce himself in front of this old man who had suppressed him to the point that he couldn't even resist. Ling Dong had already thought it through. Anyway, this old man wasn't here to kill him. If he wanted to kill him, he would have done so long ago.
"Sit!" Seeing Ling Dong's arrival, the white-browed old man in robes had already brewed a pot of tea. There were two teacups in front of him. He raised the teapot high, and the dark green tea turned into a green pillar that poured down. Under the moonlight, wisps of steam rose up. That kind of ethereal and tranquil taste was something that Ling Dong couldn't describe in words!
Seeing Ling Dong finish the tea, the white-browed old man in robes asked, "Looking at your appearance, you should be taking the assessment in the Heart Refining Array. You want to enter our True Gang Sect to learn martial arts, right?"
"Yes, senior. I wanted to pass the Heart Refining Array to become an Inner Disciple of True Gang Sect. However, I didn't expect that the array would cause such a change. Until now, I still don't know why I'm here. Who are you, senior? "Since the old man didn't have any ill intentions, Ling Dong answered honestly.
"Inner Demons? At most, the Heart Refining Array would cause an illusion. How could there be inner demons? " The white-browed old man in robes frowned. "You don't have to worry too much. Since the inner demons caused you to have an illusion, and because of that, I found you. It seems like it was fate that brought us together."
After pausing for a moment, he went straight to the point and asked, "Were you the one who caused the phenomenon of starlight covering the moon a year and a half ago?"
"Starlight Covering Moon?" Ling Dong was stunned. Could it be that the reason why he was captured by this old man was because he attracted the silver light of the stars?
"It should be! This junior also doesn't know what Starlight Cover Moon is, but this junior's cultivation method is a little special. Sometimes when I cultivate, a layer of silver light will gather and shine on my body. As for the rest, this junior doesn't know! "This answer was half true and half false, but from Ling Dong's point of view, it was very normal.
"Well, that's right! Let me ask you, since you want to enter the True Gang Sect, would you like to be my disciple? "The white-browed old man in robes asked a shocking question.
"Er …" Ling Dong was stunned for a moment. This question was no different from a pie falling from the sky. Any normal person would say yes without hesitation.
An old man of Gang Spirit Realm, who was one level higher than Heaven-gang Realm in the world, wanted to be your master. Who would refuse? Who would be willing to say no?
However, Ling Dong resisted the urge to say yes. After thinking for a while, Ling Dong asked, "Senior, I'm very willing to be your disciple. After all, I came to the True Gang Sect to be your disciple. But I don't know what I have to do and what I have to pay for it. Including the reasons behind it, and a pie falling from the sky is not always a good thing. I don't even know who you are now. "
Hearing Ling Dong's question, the white-browed old man in robes showed appreciation in his eyes. "Good. You're so young, but you know how to be blinded by greed. That's commendable. I have more confidence in you!"
"Confidence?" Ling Dong asked doubtfully.
The white-browed old man in robes did not follow Ling Dong's words. He stood up with his hands behind his back and said, "I don't remember my name. I haven't used it for many years! However, the Sect Leader of True Gang Sect calls me Ancestor Master. As for the others, they call me Stargazer! "
"Senior Star Gazer? Then I want to know why you accepted me as your disciple. What do you like about me? Or what do you need me to do for you? "Ling Dong continued to ask.
Star Gazer smiled. "Why do I accept you as my disciple? What do I like about you? You don't need to know these now. But one thing is for sure, there is a condition for me to accept you as my disciple! "
"Conditions?" Ling Dong became nervous instantly.
"Hehe, don't be nervous! This old master's condition is very simple. One day in the future, when you reach this old master's level, you will know what this old master needs you to do. So, you only need to promise me to do something that won't harm you in the future. Then I will accept you as my disciple! "Star Gazer said.
"What's the benefit of being your disciple?" Ling Dong asked through clenched teeth. This question was rather blatant. It was almost as if he was asking for a gift for becoming Xiao Chen's disciple.
"What's the benefit? Do you think there is a better benefit than having the guidance of a Gang Spirit Realm master, who is dozens of times more brilliant than a Heaven-gang Realm master and hundreds of times more brilliant than a random master in True Gang Sect, who can save you a lot of detours in cultivation? "The old man Star Gazer asked Ling Dong smilingly.
"This …" Ling Dong was still hesitating. Ling Dong, who was used to being cautious in his previous life, was still thinking about the possible benefits, especially the disadvantages, when Star Gazer spoke again.
"What I can tell you is that those Heaven-gang Realm kids in the True Gang Sect can only listen to my class once every three years. Every time, they would fight in advance to sit closer to me! Of course, this is just the benefit I think!
For you, as long as you become my disciple, you will have the same status as the head of the True Gang Sect. Also, you will have a lot of precious cultivation resources for you to use! Moreover, you can enter and exit the secret places of the True Gang Sect, such as the Demon Refining Hall, the Five Elements Gang Spirit Cave, and the Jade Library which has been passed down for thousands of years! "
"The Jade Library which has been passed down for thousands of years?" Hearing these words, Ling Dong's eyes lit up. How could Ling Dong not know about the famous Jade Library of the True Gang Sect?
That Jade Library was one of the five holy places of book collection in the Tiangang Continent. Moreover, this Jade Library was ranked third among the five holy places of book collection! It was said that there was no historical secret that could not be found in this Jade Library.
The reason why this Jade Library was so attractive to Ling Dong was that Ling Dong wanted to know the origin of the Star Master Disk and the Star Imperial Ring in his Soul Consciousness. He even wanted to know how to use them.
Although Ling Dong's new master, the Stargazer Old Man, might know about it, in Ling Dong's mind, the Star Master Disk was something that he could not tell anyone about.
The Star Master Plate's mysteriousness made Ling Dong feel more and more that the Star Master Plate was a treasure that could make all the experts go crazy for it. The stronger the person, the more attractive the Star Master Plate would be to them. Therefore, the Star Master Plate's existence must not be known to anyone! Naturally, Ling Dong would not ask the Stargazer Old Man any questions about the Star Master Disk. He could only explore it himself!
"Disciple Ling Dong greets Master!" After making up his mind, Ling Dong knelt down and kowtowed to the Stargazer Old Man to become his disciple.
