Gao Yue was busy all the time, and Yang Chen was idle again. At this time, he finally began to consider the words of the Palace Master at the time they drank.
“Since you are already a Jiedan realm master, consider taking a few talented apprentices!”
This was the original words of the Palace Master.
The rules of the Pure Yang Palace were that an apprentice could only be accepted by a Master of the Jiedan realm. Of course, this refers to the inner mountain disciples. In fact, most of the martial art sects had such rules, otherwise it would not make a Jiedan expert, a master.
The words of the Palace Master were very exciting for Yang Chen’s memory. Since it was not possible to move the idea of the secret land or plan for it for a while, he really could take a few apprentices to cultivate.
One must know that at the Immortal Executioner Stage, Yang Chen also promised a lot of people. Many had met the right disciples and wanted them to inherit their schools. These were some of the conditions that Yang Chen agreed to in exchange for their information.
Since he already had the qualifications to accept an apprentice, Yang Chen wanted to accept some to fulfill the conditions he had promised. However, Yang Chen was not just accepting anyone, he still must consider some.
If their qualifications were mediocre, and they were Pure Yang Palace’s disciples and they were willing, he could give pointers and will spare no effort to cultivate them, but he will not accept them as disciples.
Now that this was his second life, Yang Chen knew of the future talented disciples. Shi Shanshan and Sun Qingxue, he could not do anything about them, but he had to establish an unbreakable relationship with them. As for the younger generations who were famous in the world, he was naturally impolite, and must get them to be on his side.
Chen Mo: male, previous life overseas rogue cultivator, earth attributed. A free soul and unconventional cultivator, no one dared to offend him before his ascension to the Immortal World.
Ye Yu: male, previous life child of Limitless Demon Sect Master, metal attributed. Practiced the Limitless Demonic Art, unrestrictedly laughed at the arrogant Demon Realm.
Yu Youyou: female, previous life Water Moon House disciple, water attributed. A starry magic weapon which completely composed of numerous fine needles, was a woman, no one dared to be disrespectful to in the Demon Realm.
Hua Mengyou: female, previous life Green Jade Immortal Island disciple, wood attributed. When it came to combat effectiveness, perhaps Hua Mengyou was not the strongest, but she could grow plants. No matter how difficult it was to plant, if it was handed over to Hua Mengyou, it could be successfully planted. The method of planting Thunder pomegranate was her credit. Only this one ability would make countless people to rush to her.
Mu Bai: male, previous life Greatest Heaven Sect disciple, sword cultivator, wooden attributed. He was Monster race; a mourning cypress tree which transformed into a spirit. Later became Greatest Heaven Sect, Hall of Eccentrics, Hall Master. The Nether Dragon Sword that was refined with his own heart, swept the Monster Realm. Although he was a disciple of the Greatest Heaven Sect, he concentrated on cultivation and ignored foreign affairs. He never had any contact with Yang Chen.
Bing Kong: male, previous life Cold Crystal Cave disciple, mechanical master, water attributed. His silver star composed of six-handed ice crystal flying swords was unmatched. He was also an outstanding mechanical master, the puppets he produced were simply the treasures that all cultivators dreamed of.
Yu Fan: male, previous life overseas rogue cultivator, earth and gold dual attributes. What he was best at was the Myriad Swords Secret Art, which had the same skill as Yang Chen’s Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin. His Divine sword in his hand, he swept away everything.
Sa Nan: male, previous life Divine Profound Sect disciple, qillin bloodline, qillin left arm, fire attributed. The talents were different, ingenious and the left arm was tempered into a magic weapon that was invincible. After joining the heavenly court army, although he was only a small celestial soldier, the leader Juling Shen did not dare to be even slightly scornful.
Mo Chunmei: female, previous life Blue Cloud Sect disciple, fire attributed. After hundreds of years of Sun Qingxue, another outstanding disciple came. From the mortal world to the heavenly court, the Blue Cloud Sect had been able to stand up against Profound Heaven Sect’s Greatest Heaven Sect, and it was all because of the powerful Sun Qingxue and Mo Chunmei.
Bei Fuyun: male, previous life Kunlun Mountains rogue cultivator, fire attributed refining master. At the Immortal World, even if the firepower ability of Yang Chen was at full strength, it still could not be compared to Bei Fuyun. With only this one can judge the strength of Bei Fuyun. As a master of refining instruments, his magic weapon was incomparable. He was known as the first refiner to be the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord.
So many talented little cultivators would appear in the next millennium. At this time, if Yang Chen did not take the time to receive them one by one, would it not be a pity that he was so lucky to be reborn?
Yes, there was also the Old Demon Yi, although in the past life Old Demon Yi and Yang Chen perished together, but that Demonic Art was the root of Yang Chen’s life. Speaking of it, it was a gift of merit.
Since Yang Chen of this life had already stood at the top position of this time, naturally he will not forget to fulfil the Old Demon Yi’s debt. The merits of pa.s.sing on the merits were still rewarded with grace. Nothing was better than cultivating Old Demon Yi as a disciple, wasn’t that a better way of repaying his debts?
All these people, except Old Demon Yi and Hua Mengyou, had almost all kinds of spiritual roots or postnatal values, their qualifications of cultivation were better than Shi Shanshan, Sun Qingxue, Gao Yuegong and Sun Ling. Yang Chen, in his heart had already booked them as his own disciples.
He believed that if these people were taken under his apprenticeship, it would be impossible for Pure Yang Palace to decline. And if one could become the master of these superb seedlings, the possibilities could be endless!
After another three hundred years, Mu Bai (the cypress) would join the Greatest Heaven Sect. Slowly then promote to become the Hall Master of the Hall of Eccentrics. In the past life, the Greatest Heaven Sect was the first to come up with a Hall of Eccentrics, only then other sects made the rules to allow the Monster race to join in.
Joining the Hall of Eccentrics required at least the strength of the Yuanying realm. At this time, Mu Bai should at most be at the Jiedan realm. It was necessary to receive this extremely enchanting candidate in advance before the Greatest Heaven Sect had the chance.
Receiving Mu Bai not only enhance the strength of the Pure Yang Palace, but also weaken the power of the future Greatest Heaven Sect. The good deed of this killing two birds with one stone, what more one would one want?
What made Yang Chen somewhat speechless was that when this Mu Bai gave himself a name, it was at the same level as She Kui and Xie Sha. It was clearly that the name of his own body was reversed, it was quite irresponsible.
Fortunately, in the previous life, Mu Bai was strong and famous enough, so Yang Chen still remembered where he was. Not to say, the current timing was also opportune, why not get this powerful guy under his tutelage. As for how to direct a Monster cultivator, Yang Chen had a secret cultivation manual, even the old tree demon had not obtained from Yang Chen. For the time being, he needed to observe how reliable they were. Only after they do conform to his standards will he accept them.
After confirming his target candidates, Yang Chen discovered that to take these small monstrous talents under his belt one by one would take a long time.
These were the strong persons who emerged after his ascension in his past lives, he didn’t know whether he could find them all before he would ascend. However, even if he were to ascend, he must arrange for the Pure Yang Palace to collect these people.
The body of Mu Bai was in a wild land far north of the Central Plains, which was ruled by the orthodox sects. The land there was barren, the climate was relatively dry, and bitter cold. According to reason, it was not suitable for plants to survive. However, Mu Bai’s main body grew there. This kind of harsh environment was also an important reason for Mu Bai to be similarly monstrously talented.
The more one struggles in a tough environment, the more perseverance one has, and the more you can face all kinds of calamities. Just like Sun Qingxue of the past life, who was excluded from the martial art sects, and cultivated on her own became one of the most talented cultivators of a generation. The same applied to Mu Bai.
Just on the way to find the body of Mu Bai, Yang Chen could still accomplish the matter of gathering the First Wood True Essence. On the Immortal Executioner Stage, there was an immortal to be slain, who said that there was a vein of First Wood True Essence in the lower realm in his Immortal’s Cave, and Yang Chen certainly would not skip it.
Now Yang Chen was currently only a Third and Fourth Fire double attributed Jiedan realm cultivator. The other eight spiritual powers were still at the peak of the late foundation stage. According to Yang Chen’s past practice experience, if he collected the First Wood True Essence for the cultivation of the First Wood True Secret Art, he could at least ensure that First Wood spirit power could also succeed to Jiedan realm.
He didn’t know if First Wood spirit power of Jiedan stage could initiate other attributed spirit powers at the same Jiedan stage, but at least Yang Chen’s Great Yin and Yang Five Elements Secret Art would get more perfected. In the same way, it would certainly lead to the process of other attributes spirit powers getting Jiedan stage advancements.
Just the Jiedan stage, it takes at least ten years to consolidate. At that time, Yang Chen’s master Gao Yue took only ten years after he condensed it. The first one that received Yang Chen. Now, although Yang Chen said that the Palace Master had long recognized that he had the qualifications for admission, he must pluck his own Yin and Yang Five Elements Secret Art, which was the right way to practice.
It was just that the sword embryo of First Wood flying sword had been completed. He believed that with the understandings of the First Wood True Essence, the First Wood flying sword among the Yin Yang Five Elements flying swords would soon become Yang Chen’s other ultimate flying sword.
Master Ancestor w.a.n.g Yong was still in seclusion and his Senior sister, Gong Sunling, was still following her master to study several sub-levels of the formations. Over the past years, some of the absolutely trusted of the disciples had been able to enter the Blue Vault Mountain Immortal’s Cave to cultivate.
Yang Chen just hurriedly greeted Gong Sunling and left the Pure Yang Palace without saying anything more. Since before the Palace Master, Yang Chen had casually taken out the bodies of fifteen praying mantises and Wan Qian, who were all Yuanying realm ancestors, he never said anything about the safety of Yang Chen again. Even Luo Yuan could do nothing about Yang Chen, in this world, the people who could hurt Yang Chen were really too few.
Perhaps apart from the super masters who were about to ascend, few people could threaten the safety of Yang Chen. However, since they were all facing ascension, how could they easily embarra.s.s themselves by catching a Jiedan realm junior?
No one knew what Yang Chen was going to do, and no one was going to control it either. These years, Yang Chen’s work had proved to the high-level members of the Pure Yang Palace that they should let Yang Chen do whatever he wished. They only needed to be responsible for solving some minor troubles afterwards. Yang Chen was definitely working towards Pure Yang Palace’s benefit.
Amid the secret plane issue, Yang Chen still intended to endure for a few years and seduce the future geniuses, to strengthen himself, to weaken the enemy, and to improve his cultivation along the way. Why not?
More troublesome was that the area where Mu Bai was located was in the territory of the Monster Race. The plain of the monsters was in the north with snow all year round. If he wanted to go there, it was necessary to go through the plains of these monsters and face them whenever they appear. When Yang Chen, a disciple of the Jiedan realm, entered this plain of the beasts, it was certain to provoke a few incidents.
In addition, the location of the First Wood True Essence was also a hidden place in the plain of the beasts. Yang Chen did not understand the line of thought of the predecessor of that time; putting his own Immortal’s Cave in the plain of the beasts? Could it be that he was originally a monster himself?
This was quite possible. There were a lot of monster cultivators in the Heavenly Court. At that time, the one who was desecrated was not famous. Yang Chen could not have had any contact with him, and his cultivation at the time was very average.
Although Yang Chen now had a pair of bodies that didn’t look like normal humans with huge horns. Undersea, it was easy to be mistaken for the monster race. He couldn’t go otherwise. It was too dangerous even more so as proven by past events showing the wickedness of the monster race.
The area where the monsters lived, was not by their choice. The first determinant of survival there was strength. In many matters, the Monster Race had not precedents for right or wrong, only strength.
Because one’s deficient strength, it was a matter of course to be eaten by another powerful monster. No other monster would come out to fight for you. The robbing of resources and spiritual pulses was the norm.
Scarface had a cultivation base in the late Yuanying realm, but was barely able to mix and match there, the sinister nature of the monsters was evident.
Before leaving, Yang Chen visited a circle of his friends. In the past few decades, everyone had advanced respectively. Du Qian even entered the Jiedan realm earlier than Yang Chen because when Yang Chen was first introduced, Du Qian was already in the late stage of building the foundation. He had been rather slow at entering the Jiedan realm in the following decades.
What surprised Yang Chen most was Shangguan Feng. The manager of the Ye Xiu Manor, who in the past had said it was impossible to achieve foundation stage. He had only entered the foundation stage a few years earlier than Yang Chen. Now had already reached the peak of the foundation stage, and only a single step separated him from the early Jiedan stage, Solidification of Core.
This could only be explained by one thing. Though the cultivation apt.i.tude was important, the correct cultivation method still could change all of this. Obviously, Shangguan Feng had found his own Path of Cultivation.
The sect was flourishing, his Master was getting rid of her original destiny, and friends were also cultivating well. The sects of the enemy were badly hurt, and all this was caused by Yang Chen’s own hands. How can he be any happier than this?
If there was something to say, then it was only one. After so many years, Xiao Tian finally thoroughly digested the dragon qi that he had devoured in the treasure house last time. His whole body seemed to have grown up in a circle. In the garden, it danced happily.
