Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 2213 - 1576: Double Blessings (2)

After the two elders left, the six people seemed to come alive at once and began to communicate with each other.

"In the next few days, fellow disciples, remember not to leak any information and don’t feel superior to others. We’re not truly True Disciples yet. If some trivial matter affects our future prospects, it will be too late to regret," Xu Benlei kindly reminded.

Bear in mind, they still don’t have the List Jade Disc yet, which strictly speaking means they aren’t truly True Disciples.

And before this, there’s always a chance they could be eliminated!

If their true names and blood are recorded in the Jade Disc, their luck will be connected to the Sect, truly becoming as one. Hence, if a True Disciple doesn’t make a major mistake, under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t be removed.

Because it involves True Disciples, removing them is akin to severing the connected luck, which will inevitably affect the Sect’s luck, causing it to weaken.

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, and their prideful emotions vanished in an instant, returning to their original humble selves. They were not foolish and naturally wouldn’t do things that could result in disproportionate losses.

Thinking this way, they didn’t have any extra thoughts about lingering outside. Soon, they each left and returned to their Cave Mansions, while restoring the traces left on their bodies from the True Inheritance trials, and waiting for the ceremony to arrive.

...

Meanwhile.

The disciples of the Tongtian Sect staying in Ten Thousand Treasures Immortal City and Hundred Treasures Market also received news of the True Inheritance ceremony.

"What?!"

This was almost everyone’s first reaction, shock, disbelief!

"When did the True Inheritance trial start? Why do we know nothing about it? Could it be that none of us are qualified?!"

But soon, a burst of unwilling anger rose in their hearts, and they were unwilling to accept this fact.

However, truly, they didn’t dare to resist, as Li Zhirui’s cultivation and strength was like a mountain pressed on top of them, a mountain that couldn’t be dealt with no matter what.

They could only keep that flame of anger stifled inside, burning painfully.

Wansheng, placed here by Li Zhirui, absorbed everything.

It could understand these disciples; they had made considerable efforts for True Disciple status, yet weren’t even qualified to participate in the trial. How could they not be angry?

Yet, there’s nothing to be done; the current situation of Tongtian Sect can’t support all disciples attending the trial. The trial methods may seem simple and not too demanding, but in fact, it’s quite the opposite!

For instance, the formation that tests willpower and Dao Heart requires massive Spiritual Energy support; the final consumption for probing past lives and causes is even more terrifying.

A mere six disciples with activation time less than a quarter of an hour, yet the consumption compared to previous trials was several times more.

The current Tongtian Sect is still in the stage of living off what’s on hand, so can only initially conduct manual selection.

Besides, with Li Zhirui’s insight, initially judging these disciples’ situations, it’s completely underutilizing their potential.

And Wansheng’s visit this time is to prevent some negative events from occurring after the news spreads.

Luckily, although the disciples complained verbally, they didn’t dare to act recklessly.

However, it still needs to find a way to dissolve the resentment and anger in their hearts, otherwise accumulating over time won’t be good for the Sect.

Especially since they are in the Immortal City and Marketplace, if cultivators from other forces tempt the disciples, things could become troublesome.

Thus, Wansheng gradually appeared before the disciples.

"Greetings Elder!" Their reactions were somewhat hesitant and worried, afraid their recent reactions were overheard.

"Do you feel the True Inheritance trial was unfair, lacking even the opportunity to take part?" It directly spoke their minds.

"This... Elder..."

Upon realizing this, the disciples quickly reacted, feeling their initial response upon receiving the news was probably seen.

"Actually, concerning this matter, the Sect Leader is very fair and just, not randomly selecting disciples, and for lacking qualification, perhaps there are areas you’re not achieving well enough."

As to specific reasons, they knew clearly in their hearts.

Or maybe, before they didn’t think it was their own issue, but afterwards, they suddenly recalled things they had done previously.

Thinking of this, they couldn’t help but show embarrassed smiles.

Wansheng pretended not to see and patiently explained, "And the reason for initially setting such a barrier is precisely because the True Inheritance trial consumes large quantities of Spiritual Objects, the Sect can’t support every disciple in testing."

"Therefore, I hope you can understand the Sect’s difficulties."

The disciples quickly said, "Elder, it was our mistake before, we shouldn’t have rashly speculated about the Sect, Sect Leader and elders."

"We apologize sincerely, it was our misunderstanding of the Sect Leader and elder."

Luckily, they hadn’t done anything truly against the Tongtian Sect, otherwise, they might not find a place in the Sect.

"It’s good you understand."

Wansheng also let out a sigh of relief, saying, "Three days later is when the True Inheritance ceremony will occur. If you have time, remember to return and attend."

"Understood, thank you, Elder, for informing us."

Simultaneously, many Loose Cultivators and cultivators from other forces learned that the Tongtian Sect recently selected six True Disciples.

"Six True Disciples? Judging by the establishment time of the Tongtian Sect, the value of these True Disciples may not be very high."

"I don’t understand why there’s such urgency in selecting True Disciples, is there some hidden reason?"

Many were curious, wanting to see the spectacle, but the Tongtian Sect didn’t intend to invite them, certainly not just walking up, asking to observe.

...

The sun rose and the moon fell, and soon, the day of the True Inheritance ceremony arrived.

That day, many of the disciples who had left the Mountain Gate returned, not wanting to miss the Sect’s first True Inheritance ceremony!

Also hoping to forge good relationships with those six True Disciples, as they might need them one day.

Dang dang dang—

As the Sun fully emerged from the ground, hanging in the sky, the sound of the Jade Bell resounded, causing the scene to instantly quiet down, everyone observing obediently.

"Today, Tongtian Sect has six disciples passing the trials, successfully joining the ranks of True Disciples..."

Li Zhirui announced, "Xu Benlei, Jiang Yong, Tang Rongyang..."

"Disciple present!"

"I hope you all cultivate diligently in the future, taking the inheritance of the Sect as your responsibility and aiming to expand the Sect’s legacy."

"We will not fail the expectations of the Sect and Sect Leader!"

Next, Li Zhirui requested a drop of blood and a wisp of Spiritual Soul from them, merging them into the Jade Dishware.

Boom—

When the souls and blood of the six were fully integrated into the Jade Dishware, Ascension Mountain suddenly erupted with a dazzling Spirit Light, followed by the Mountain Gate beneath their feet starting to shake violently.

Many disciples were confused, wondering why suddenly the Mountain Gate was experiencing such changes, thinking there couldn’t possibly be an enemy attack, yet no opponent was visible!

If not for the Sect Leader present, they wouldn’t possibly maintain such calm.

Only Li Zhirui knew it was the burst of the Sect’s luck, unexpectedly triggering the promotion of the brewing Spirit Vein, saving a lot of time.

"Do not panic, for this is an auspicious event!"

He joyfully announced, "The Mountain Gate’s Spirit Vein has successfully promoted at this time, from now on, Ascension Mountain will possess a Loose Immortal Grade Spirit Vein."

Although for him, such Spiritual Energy is far from sufficient for inhalation and absorption, for other disciples, it’s quite enough.

Moreover, this increase in Spiritual Energy will provide certain enhancements for the disciples’ cultivation.

Soon, the Spirit Vein successfully elevated, a rush of pure, dense Spiritual Energy erupted from underground, finally scattering all over the Mountain Gate.
