Above the Ninth Layer, situated in the towering heights, shrouded in immortal mist, it is practically an immortal realm. And on this Ninth Layer, only the Sect Master Immortal of Jiuzhou Immortal Sect can reside here for cultivation.
Situated on the Nine Heavens, ruling over the heavens and overlooking the beings of the world.
Tangyu entered the palace here, filled with shock and curiosity, countless thoughts surged in his mind. He pondered whether he really was noticed by the Sect Master Immortal to be chosen as a disciple?
If chosen as a disciple by a Demi Immortal from the Seeking Immortal Realm, that would be an unimaginable opportunity. This was sothing Tangyu had never even considered before. After all, the Immortals of the Seeking Immortal Realm transcend the mundane existence and rarely care about worldly matters. They devotedly seek immortality and pursue the path of longevity, generally unwilling to accept disciples. Even if they were to accept one, they wouldn’t choose a re boy from the Mystic Law Realm.
Training soone from the Mystic Law Realm would be incredibly troubleso, and the Demi Immortals of the Seeking Immortal Realm certainly wouldn’t invite such burdens upon themselves. At their level, even the most extraordinary talent hardly catches their eye.
Nonetheless, Tangyu had confidence in himself. After all, he managed to pass the test of Shi Que Palace, followed by the test of the Moluo World, believing that his talent stood at the peak level within the Cultivation World. Therefore, Tangyu thought, being noticed by the Sect Master Immortal to beco a disciple wouldn’t be an impossible matter.
After entering the palace, Tangyu’s gaze fell upon two figures. Upon seeing the shabby old man, Tangyu nearly jumped in shock, indeed letting him gasp in awe.
This was because the shabby old man was none other than the one who had snuck a drink at Forgetful Palace.
The shabby old man saw Tangyu’s utterly astonished expression and gave a sly smile: "Boy, are you surprised?"
Tangyu was speechless, how could he not be surprised? His heart was about to leap out of his throat. If it weren’t broad daylight, he’d suspect he’d run into a ghost. How could sothing like this happen to him? This was just too dramatic, right?
Earlier, Tangyu did feel that the shabby old man seed sowhat odd, but he definitely never thought about this at all. Being able to exist on the Ninth Layer signifies a certain level of power, it signifies an existence of the Seeking Immortal Realm, it signifies a Demi Immortal.
A Demi Immortal! To Tangyu, that was imnsely powerful, overwhelmingly powerful, so powerful he could only look up in awe. Such a realm was beyond Tangyu’s reach for now.
Tangyu was stunned for quite so ti before he returned to his senses: "Could it be the Sect Master Immortal?" Tangyu knew a little about the Sect Master Immortal of Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, wasn’t there only one? Why are there two seated here suddenly? And this shabby old man, how could he possibly be the Sect Master Immortal of Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, right? Tangyu scanned the other figure, but with just one glance, he nearly collapsed onto his knees.
A majestic Immortal Might, formidable without anger, naturally emanated, compelling one to worship fervently. Standing before this figure, Tangyu felt like an ant facing a dragon, overwheld by admiration from deep within his soul. Though he had never t him, Tangyu could confirm this must be the Sect Master Immortal of Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, the supre being controlling the Jiuzhou Territory, high above on the Nine Heavens. Heaven and earth, all bow under his foot.
His words beco law, his words can determine the life and death of billions, this is the supre existence, the existence of Demi Immortals, revered by the world.
The shabby old man, however, exuded no aura of a powerful one, completely resembling a beggar. He smirked at Tangyu: "Hehe boy, stop guessing foolishly, he is your Jiuzhou Immortal Sect’s Sect Master Immortal; I am rely a passerby, not of your Jiuzhou Immortal Sect. Hurry and pay your respects to your Sect Master Immortal."
Indeed, it confird Tangyu’s suspicion, yet at the sa ti astonished him beyond asure. Being able to chat and drink with the Sect Master Immortal here, sitting as equals, that strength must definitely be on par with the Sect Master Immortal, surely an unparalleled existence of the Seeking Immortal Realm. Such an existence, still maintaining this shabby appearance, is truly a striking contrast. Without witnessing it firsthand, it would be incredibly hard to believe, indeed an utterly astonishing matter.
Tangyu dared not hesitate, imdiately respectfully saluting: "Young Tangyu pays respect to the Sect Master Immortal, pays respect to this senior. Previously, I was blind and have been rude to the senior, please forgive , senior."
The Sect Master Immortal only glanced at Tangyu indifferently, today was not his stage, so he handed Tangyu over to the shabby old man.
The shabby old man, however, was extrely casual, waving his hand: "What is there to forgive. You’re quite kind, boy, you even willingly offered to buy a drink last ti, it is your nature that is admirable, really to my liking. Boy, I once ntioned to you, your destiny looks promising, seeing your performance today, it’s indeed good. I have lived a life unrestricted, free and easy, roam across the world, seen countless."
"Now, growing old, realizing there’s no one to inherit my legacy, my heart feels a chill. Red dust throughout eternity, ultimately, beauty ends as bones in the mass grave. Human power is quite limited, things right or wrong, are beyond our control."
Hearing the shabby old man’s profound and sentintal words, Tangyu gazed at him with bewildered confusion, unable to comprehend what it all ant.
The shabby old man waved his hand and said, "Let’s not talk about this; you wouldn’t understand even if I did. I never intended to take on a disciple, but you, young one, have won my favor. You suit my temperant and also have a rather good fortune. If there were no great worldly calamity looming, your future achievents surely wouldn’t be low. However, with the calamity approaching, your path holds too many uncertainties. Destiny may be ordained by the heavens, yet it’s also filled with endless variations, especially for soone like you, whose destiny is unfixed."
Though the shabby old man spoke at length, Tangyu still felt confused, but he managed to catch the idea that a great calamity was approaching the world.
What on earth was going on? Could this be connected to the unusually grand scale of this Jiuzhou Immortal Sect’s selection of disciples this ti? A faint hint of unease also wafted to Tangyu, yet such matters were far beyond what soone at the Mystic Law Realm like him could fathom.
The shabby old man continued, "Boy, are you willing to apprentice under as my first disciple?"
Though Tangyu had anticipated this, hearing it directly from the shabby elder still took him by surprise—it felt almost too quick a delight. Regardless of the elder’s origins, he was indeed a Half-Immortal, an unequalled presence on par with the Sect Master Immortal of Jiuzhou Immortal Sect. Becoming an apprentice to such a Great Power naturally had boundless benefits. This lucky turn of events, Tangyu surely wouldn’t refuse.
Instantly, Tangyu knelt and bowed, "Disciple Tangyu greets Master."
The shabby elder grinned, "Stand up; I don’t care for formalities like that. Be casual in the future. Since you’re now my first disciple, you should know my na. If you encounter any major trouble outside, you can use my na and reputation. There should be so who would still show so respect. My na is Ji Dian, the frenzy Immortal among the people; that’s . If you run into True Lords or Half-Immortals, just ntion my na."
"But if you only encounter insignificant beings, don’t use it—I’d lose face if you’re killed by them. I won’t acknowledge you as my disciple if that happens."
"What—Ji Dian!" Hearing the na, Tangyu almost bit his tongue, his nerves nearly jumping out of his skin. Ji Dian; what a familiar and resounding na. It’s safe to say the people of Huaxia Country are not strangers to this na.
Earlier in Forgetful Palace, Tangyu had thought his Master’s image resembled Ji Gong too much, and now hearing this na, it indeed turned out to be Ji Dian, which naturally made Tangyu wonder if his Master is the prototype of that Ji Gong from Huaxia Country’s myth?
Could it be that his Master went to Earth? Could it be that his Master left his mark on Earth before departing?
Quite possibly so, as his Master himself said he has always road the Four Seas, traveling around the world, which might indeed include a visit to Earth.
Seeing Tangyu’s shocked expression, Ji Dian also asked, "What’s wrong, disciple? Do you have questions? Could it be you’ve heard my na?"
Tangyu couldn’t help but ask, "May I ask Master, have you ever been to the small world called Earth?"
"Earth?" Ji Dian tried hard to recall and then said, "Maybe I have, maybe I haven’t; I’ve visited too many small worlds, hard to rember. How about you, disciple, are you from the small world Earth?"
Tangyu nodded, "I cannot hide it from Master; I indeed hail from the small world Earth."
"Oh?" Both Ji Dian and the Sect Master Immortal looked at Tangyu with so surprise. The Sect Master Immortal also said, "Weren’t all small world portals destroyed? How can soone from a small world arrive in the Cultivation World?"
Ji Dian also asked Tangyu in puzzlent, "Disciple, how did you co to the Cultivation World? There’s supposedly no channel from small worlds to reach the Cultivation World anymore; logically, you shouldn’t be able to co here."
As Ji Dian spoke, he also started calculating with his fingers, deducing directly, after which he said, "So that’s how it is. I didn’t expect such a formidable figure to have gone to Earth and had the fate to bring you to the Cultivation World. Haha, seems I’ve acquired a treasure—a talent from a small world capable of such extraordinary feats. Not bad, not bad; the evaluation score should be higher. Haha, Old Pan, what do you think?"
The Sect Master Immortal cast a discerning look at Tangyu and nodded in approval, "Indeed impressive, considering the extre scarcity of resources in small worlds. It’s rather astonishing to possess such talent from there. Having the fortune to co from a small world to the Cultivation World is indeed a great destiny. With such fortune, if you cultivate well, there’s hope for so future achievent."
Receiving such praise from two beings of the Seeking Immortal Realm, Tangyu also smiled calmly and said, "Master and Sect Master Immortal flatter . Tangyu shall exert every effort and certainly will not disappoint your great expectations."
