The Second Disciple Is Here

"Good disciple, you really have given your master a huge surprise!"

Chen Changsheng had not expected that the technique Yang Jian found would be synchronized directly to him. In other words, he had obtained such an inheritance without putting in any effort at all.

I happen to have many questions about cultivation. This is like being handed a pillow just when I'm sleepy. Since that's the case, let's see what is so extraordinary about this Double Pupils technique.

Chen Changsheng burst into laughter. Without another word, he closed his eyes and began examining the Double Pupils technique.

Time flashed by, and in the blink of an eye, Yang Jian had spent a year cultivating in the Scripture Pavilion.

That year had not left many traces on Yang Jian's face. It had merely turned him from a boy into a young man.

However, Yang Jian's temperament had undergone a complete transformation.

A year passed in the flick of a finger. During that year, Yang Jian had fully mastered the Double Pupils technique and truly embarked upon his path of cultivation.

If Chen Changsheng had personally seen Yang Jian's current state, he would likely have been even more astonished.

At that moment, Yang Jian's entire body was enveloped in an aura of slaughter. Though he looked like a young man, he resembled a general who had fought across battlefields for many years.

What was even more shocking was that Yang Jian's aura had become rich and solid. It was clear that he had made tremendous progress over the past year.

If Chen Changsheng had been there, he would certainly have sensed that Yang Jian was already approaching the Void Returning Realm!

Over that same year, Chen Changsheng had carefully sorted through the memories in his mind and finally gained a solid understanding of the Primordial World.

"A year has passed. I wonder how my disciple's cultivation is going?"

Walking out of the great hall and looking toward the Scripture Pavilion ahead, Chen Changsheng murmured to himself.

Yang Jian had been the strongest among the Chan Sect's Third Generation Disciples in the Investiture of the Gods. However, with only one year having passed, Chen Changsheng did not dare guarantee what realm Yang Jian could reach.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host. Your eldest disciple has broken through to the Void Returning Realm. Reward obtained: cultivation has broken through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm!"

"Holy shit!"

Chen Changsheng froze for a moment before he could not help blurting out a curse.

"My eldest disciple truly is the child of destiny. He has already reached the Void Returning Realm. The next step should be the Dao Integration Realm, bringing him right up to immortality!"

Chen Changsheng sighed inwardly. According to the memories he possessed of the Primordial World, the path of cultivation was divided into three levels.

The mortal realms were: refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into void, and refining void to integrate with the Dao.

After Dao Integration came the tribulation of heavenly lightning, followed by ascension into immortality!

The immortal realms were: Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, Profound Immortal, True Immortal, Golden Immortal, Taiyi Realm, and Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

Above the Grand Unity Golden Immortal was the legendary Saint Realm, divided into Quasi-Saints and Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

Chen Changsheng had once obtained an experience card for a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, so he knew only too well how terrifying one was.

As for those in the Saint Realm, they were all supreme existences at the pinnacle of the Primordial World. At present, there were only the Six Great Saints.

There were countless cultivators in the Primordial World, but not many could reach the Void Returning Realm in just one year.

Although Chen Changsheng had never underestimated Yang Jian's talent, reaching the Void Returning Realm in a year truly exceeded his expectations.

"It seems this Double Pupils inheritance suits him very well!"

Chen Changsheng nodded in satisfaction. What he had not expected most was that Yang Jian's breakthrough had also driven his own improvement.

"One disciple can bring me so many benefits. If I take in ten, a hundred, or even a thousand, ten thousand disciples, wouldn't I be able to raise my realm every day without doing anything?"

Feeling the abundant spiritual energy within his body, Chen Changsheng grew excited.

A year ago, he had been no different from Yang Jian, just an ordinary mortal. Reaching the Heavenly Immortal Realm in a year would probably be even more shocking.

Who would not like getting something for free? Besides, he understood the principle that quantitative change led to qualitative change.

If I could bring all the Investiture of the Gods Generals under my command and make them my disciples, wouldn't that be wonderful?

Chen Changsheng licked his lips, but his gaze soon dimmed.

It had already been a year since he took Yang Jian as his disciple, yet during that entire year, the system had not given him a single prompt.

"Forget it. It is all fate. Even with the system's help, without fate, nothing can be forced!"

Chen Changsheng sighed. However, he did not know that at that very moment on Jade Spring Mountain, someone was scratching his head raw over the fate he had mentioned.

"Strange. So much time has passed. Why hasn't my disciple come yet?"

True Lord Jade Cauldron sat quietly within Golden Cloud Cave. To him, time no longer held any fixed meaning.

Ever since his master-disciple fate with Yang Jian had been severed, he had been unable to understand it no matter how much he thought about it. Yet he was unwilling to give up, so he decided to wait.

No one had expected that after a year, all he had waited for was the passage of time. He had not even seen a single hair.

As one of the Twelve Golden Immortals, True Lord Jade Cauldron was naturally unwilling to accept this. Even if he could not take Yang Jian as his disciple, he still wanted to know who had severed Yu Ding's master-disciple fate.

"Very well. I have cultivated in seclusion on Jade Spring Mountain for many years. As things develop, it is time for me to go out and take a look."

True Lord Jade Cauldron sighed softly. For people like them, the mundane world outside could not draw their attention at all.

However, in order to uncover the master-disciple fate that had suddenly vanished, Yu Ding decided to make a trip to the mortal realm.

With that thought, True Lord Jade Cauldron slowly rose to his feet, and his entire figure vanished from the cave abode.
