Chapter 1475: The Sect Newbies
At the Four Nine Immortal Sect.
Two ma.s.sive pillars extending into the sky stood on either side of the gate.
There was a plaque upon which was engraved the words “Four Nine” hanging above the gate. It had been carved in a glorious, ethereal font that was also imbued with a vast and unstoppable intent.
There seemed to be new core disciples joining the Four Nine Immortal Sect today as Sun Yuluo was guiding about a dozen or so sect newbies on a tour of the Four Nine Immortal Sect.
Sun Yuluo was a big deal now. He was an extremely renowned sword immortal across the entire Kingdom of the Nine States. He was still quite young, but he was already at the Return to Void Stage and possessed the Blue Dream Ancient Sword, which had nurtured a sword spirit. Both his power and potential made him revered and wors.h.i.+pped by countless cultivators.
A bunch of core disciples had surrounded Sun Yuluo and were chatting excitedly among themselves.
Sun Yuluo pointed up at the plaque with a smile. “The words on this plaque were carved by the number one adorable pet of the Four Nine Immortal Sect, Xue Zhantian. It is imbued with the intent realm of unyielding determination and the will to fight the heavens…”
“Oh…” all of the newbie disciples let loose cries of surprise.
“So this text was carved by the adorable yet ferocious Xue Zhantian? Awesome!” A female disciple looked up at the plaque with wors.h.i.+p and antic.i.p.ation rippling in her eyes.
She had seen Xue Zhantian in newspaper articles, but never in real life. She was going to be able to meet him soon, and she wanted nothing more than to give the adorable Xue Zhantian a ma.s.sive hug!
However, he was a sect elder while she was just a disciple. As such, she was feeling a little intimidated and afraid to hug a sect elder.
Even though that was what she was thinking, she had already made a wish to herself.
She was going to hug Elder Xue Zhantian someday!
Sun Yuluo led the disciples into the sect.
All of them were instantly enshrouded by extremely rich vital energy upon entering the sect, and they felt like their bodies had been completely invigorated and filled with energy.
“Everything here was built by the number one construction duo on the Tai Chu Continent, the Grandmaster Construction Cultivator and Holy Lord Tian Wo. Furthermore, this was an earnest job too!
“The sect can gather the power of the veins of the earth as well as the power of the stars, creating an abundance of vital energy the level of which is one of the best across the Kingdom of the Nine States. There are gorgeous natural scenery as well as majestic buildings here. The Ninefold Heavenly Trial Grounds that is renowned across the entire continent is also here…” Sun Yuluo continued his introduction.
All of the newbie disciples had stars glowing in their eyes.
They had been reduced to overwhelmed wors.h.i.+ppers that were only capable of uttering words like “Wow”, “Oh”, “Awesome”, and “Bad*ss”.
This was the sect of their dreams!
After a short while, everyone arrived at the drill ground of the Four Nine Immortal Sect.
Within a radius of several dozen kilometers of the drill ground, there were tall mountains, flowing rivers, lush forests, and tranquil lakes, all of which had been reinforced by spell formations. Even a Return to Void Stage mighty figure would not be able to easily damage the natural landmarks here.
Many disciples and elders would often spar with one another and experiment with new spell techniques here.
Everyone had to protect the environment.
If someone tried to spar or experiment elsewhere and blasted a building or a mountain, they would go straight to detention!
“Look, it’s the little white dragon, Sun Xiaodie! She really is just as beautiful as she is rumored to be. Even her dragon horns are so adorable!” A male disciple’s eyes lit up with excitement.
“Is that Bai Yao from the Man Pavilion? She really is the most beautiful vixen I’ve ever seen. I seriously can’t take my eyes off her…”
“You’ve got some guts, bro. Look out for Elder Xiao Chou’s club!”
“My G.o.d! It’s the Blood Prince, Merlin! He’s so handsome!!!”
A female disciple was completely starstruck by the sight of the man who just so happened to be pa.s.sing by, and she began to scream.
Merlin was one of the three Blood Tribe Holy Disciples, and he possessed the perfect blend of a set of warm, gentle features, alongside a pair of slightly dangerous, crimson eyes, creating a lethal package for all female onlookers.
A knowing smile appeared on Sun Yuluo’s face at the sight of the starstruck female disciple.
Merlin was indeed very handsome, but there was certainly no lack of handsome men in this sect. There was Xiao Ze’s youthful handsomeness, Xuanyuan Cheng’s graceful handsomeness, Ning Rique’s delinquent handsomeness, Chu Ming’s wise handsomeness…
All of these starstruck female disciples would soon develop higher immunity after being surrounded by these handsome men. The previous intake of core disciples was a perfect indication of this.
All of the female disciples would appraise all men who tried to attract them with their looks with a disdainful sneer. There were simply too many impossibly handsome men in the Four Nine Immortal Sect, and they had all developed super high levels of immunity as a result.
After pa.s.sing through the drill ground, the newbie disciples saw many more extremely renowned figures.
All of them felt as if the Nine States Magazine portraits had come to life before their eyes, and they simply couldn’t bring themselves to look away.
Sun Yuluo led them to the center of the drill ground, where a statue stood.
This was a statue of a man who wasn’t all that handsome, perhaps a little handsome at most, holding an inky-black longsword in one hand with golden lightning cracking around a finger on his other hand.
He didn’t look all that noteworthy.
However, all of the newbie disciples’ expressions s.h.i.+fted upon seeing this. All of them knew exactly who this man was!
Sun Yuluo looked at the statue with a disconsolate expression on his face, as if he was reminiscing about past events. He managed to force a smile onto his face after a short while. “This man here is the only man you must bow to when you enter this sect.
“He has created many legends. He once wreaked havoc within the Blood Tribe holy land all by himself, he secured many victories against the Heavenly G.o.ds and saved the entire snow maiden race… He also has many t.i.tles such as Tamer of Divine Lightning, Super Heavenly Lightning G.o.d, Lord of Transcendence, Heavenly Court Chef G.o.d, Heavenly Court War G.o.d…
“However, in this place, he only has one t.i.tle, and that is the founder of the Four Nine Immortal Sect. He is the one and only sect leader of our Four Nine Immortal Sect, Sect Leader An Lin!”
All of the disciples looked up at the statue with either sorrow and melancholy or reverence and yearning. All of them wore different expressions, but all of them respected this man from the bottom of their hearts.
It would take an extraordinary man to create such a mighty sect.
With this in mind, all of the disciples bowed toward the statue.
“Disciple Tao Manman.”
“Meng Wei.”
“Su Siqing.”
…
“We pay our respects to Sect Leader An Lin!”
“We pray that the sect leader’s deceased spirit may bless our sec…”
“Don’t say deceased spirit!” Sun Yuluo screamed, “Do you want to be put into solitary confinement by stand-in Sect Leader Xiaolan? You have to say that he’s in a faraway place instead!”
The newbie disciples were all given a fright and immediately changed their choice of words. “May our sect leader bless our sect from afar and bestow upon our sect eternal prosperity…”
All of them knew that Sect Leader An Lin had been dead for a hundred years. The Heavenly Court had already held a funeral for him, and only the Four Nine Immortal Sect refused to acknowledge this as the truth.
However, they weren’t going to say anything about this. There was no point in rubbing salt on the wounds of others.
Right at this moment, a clear cry erupted across the heavens.
Crimson Divine Flames lit up the entire sky.
A ma.s.sive figure could be seen amid the Divine Flames.
Hundreds of disciples on the drill ground looked up into the sky with excitement etched on their faces.
“It’s the phoenix! The legendary phoenix is back!”
“It very rarely travels alone, so the Divine Phoenix Maiden must be back as well!”
All of the disciples discussed spiritedly among themselves.
The newbie disciples shuddered upon hearing this, and their expressions became even more excited as they looked up in the distant sky.
They were really very lucky. They had only just entered the sect, and they were already being blessed by the opportunity to witness the legendary mythological beast phoenix and the renowned Divine Phoenix Maiden.
Was the number one legendary figure in the Four Nine Immortal Sect finally about to appear?
