Guang Chengzi, Chijingzi, Grand Unity True Person, and the other Immortals of Chan Sect all bowed in unison.
They were both excited and deeply moved.
A thought flashed through Gu Changsheng's mind.
Primordial Heavenly Venerate was truly generous, and fiercely protective of his own.
That was also why Gu Changsheng had joined the Chan Sect.
Such lavish rewards were truly rare.
After Primordial Heavenly Venerate bestowed magic treasures upon them, he said solemnly, "Having entered the Chan Sect, you must honor your master and uphold the Dao. You must not deceive your master or betray your ancestors. Should I learn of such conduct, I will certainly reduce you to ashes!"
Everyone's expressions tightened, and they hurriedly bowed. "This disciple shall remember Master's teachings."
Primordial Heavenly Venerate smiled in satisfaction and instructed Gu Changsheng and the others to find places to reside beside Jade Void Palace.
"This disciple shall remember!"
Gu Changsheng and the others bowed together.
Once Primordial Heavenly Venerate had arranged everything, his towering saintly figure vanished.
The vast saintly might dissipated as well.
Gu Changsheng and the others exchanged glances, all staring at one another.
In truth, Gu Changsheng knew that this was not the Saint's true body, but merely a phantom projection.
Guang Chengzi, Chijingzi, and the other Chan Sect disciples all turned toward Gu Changsheng.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Changsheng!"
Guang Chengzi was the first to bow to Gu Changsheng.
Chijingzi, Grand Unity True Person, and the other disciples also stepped forward and bowed to Gu Changsheng.
Although Gu Changsheng's cultivation was not high, merely at the Human Immortal realm,
his talent and comprehension surpassed everyone present.
Moreover, their master had said that Gu Changsheng's Great Dao held limitless promise.
Guang Chengzi, Chijingzi, and the others naturally did not dare slight him.
Senior Brother Changsheng might be somewhat weak for now, but in the future, he would be an extraordinary figure who ascended to the Great Dao.
After Juliusun, True Person Puxian, and the others paid their respects to Gu Changsheng, they bowed to Daoist Randeng.
After all, he was an Innate Divine Demon whose cultivation had reached the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.
Gu Changsheng might be the Chief Disciple, but Daoist Randeng was the Deputy Sect Master.
Gu Changsheng also bowed to Daoist Randeng.
Daoist Randeng smiled and returned the gesture. "Your talent and comprehension are exceptionally high. Since the Sect Master has said so, given time, you will surely ascend to the Great Dao!"
Gu Changsheng nodded and prepared to find a side hall.
Remembering something, Guang Chengzi, Chijingzi, and the others hurried over.
"Senior Brother Changsheng, Master once said that you optimized the Mastery of Five Thunders Divine Ability. Could you perhaps let us junior brothers observe it?"
Guang Chengzi asked softly.
After all, it was simply too astonishing.
With a human body, he had optimized the Mastery of Five Thunders Divine Ability within a mere hundred years.
Even across the entire Primordial World, there was likely no second person capable of such a feat.
So heaven-defying, so monstrously talented—Guang Chengzi and the others all envied him.
And in the Primordial World, one's origins were valued above all else.
Thus, they wanted to try as well.
Such an opportunity was something one might encounter but never seek.
They could only ask Gu Changsheng.
Faced with Guang Chengzi and the others' request, Gu Changsheng smiled.
"This sort of insight is nothing much. If you junior brothers want it, simply take it and comprehend it yourselves."
As his words fell, he raised his hand, and the profound essence of Mastery of Five Thunders emerged.
Strands of lightning shrouded that profound essence.
Guang Chengzi, Chijingzi, and the others were all overjoyed.
"Many thanks, Senior Brother Changsheng."
Chijingzi sent a strand of the profound essence into his glabella.
His face immediately showed astonishment.
"Senior Brother, I'll go comprehend it first."
With that, Chijingzi hurried into a side hall.
He shut the hall doors and began studying it.
Streams of mystical light instantly seemed to envelop the entire side hall.
Seeing this, Grand Unity True Person and Guang Chengzi hurriedly sent the profound essence into their glabellas as well.
"Senior Brother Changsheng, this junior brother takes his leave."
"Senior Brother Changsheng, this junior brother takes his leave."
Guang Chengzi moved like the wind, immortal light swirling beneath his feet as he instantly entered a side hall.
Grand Unity True Person hurried off as well.
Juliusun, True Person Puxian, and the others also quickly sent the profound essence into their glabellas.
After bowing to Gu Changsheng, the disciples departed.
Their steps were hurried, all eager to comprehend this profound essence as soon as possible.
Before long, only Gu Changsheng and Daoist Randeng remained in the vast training ground!
Innate Restrictions, Transformation of the Sea of Thunder!
Looking at Gu Changsheng, Daoist Randeng frowned slightly.
"Changsheng, you are human, and your innate foundation is insufficient. Though you are the Chief Disciple of the Chan Sect, you cannot fall behind these junior brothers of yours."
"You gave the profound essence of Mastery of Five Thunders to your junior brothers. If they master it, would they not surpass you?"
With his hands behind his back, Daoist Randeng wore an arrogant air.
Gu Changsheng frowned slightly. Did this Ran Deng truly take himself for a teacher?
Others might not know, but how could Gu Changsheng not?
The reason Daoist Randeng had joined the Chan Sect was merely to find himself a patron.
Only he could commit such a shameless act.
And now, he was actually putting on such a pompous display.
Gu Changsheng did not respect Daoist Randeng in the slightest.
But given his own low cultivation, he could only endure it for now.
"Fine, I understand."
Gu Changsheng replied in a deep voice.
Daoist Randeng was stunned. He wanted to say something more, but Gu Changsheng had already turned to leave.
Daoist Randeng sighed. "This boy cannot be taught!"
Though he possessed the origins of an Innate Divine Demon,
when he thought of how Gu Changsheng had optimized the Mastery of Five Thunders technique,
perhaps the Law of Thunder that made him covet it would be there as well?
He had wanted to ask Gu Changsheng for that profound essence.
Who would have thought that Gu Changsheng would simply leave?
Daoist Randeng was speechless.
The Deputy Sect Master of the Chan Sect had been ignored outright.
Gu Changsheng arrived at Jade Void Palace.
Before him stretched a vast expanse of land.
Dozens of side halls stood lofty and majestic, piercing the clouds.
Though they could not compare to Jade Void Palace, they still gleamed with flowing radiance.
The side halls, forged from Innate Spirit Stones, filled the entire Jade Void Palace with drifting immortal mist.
There even seemed to be the fragrance of spiritual fruits wafting into his nose.
However, Gu Changsheng had no mind for such things now.
He headed straight toward one of the side halls.
It was grand and imposing, with the three words "Changsheng Palace" written above it.
A hint of delight appeared on Gu Changsheng's face as he climbed the spirit-stone steps and arrived before the palace.
The moment he pushed open the doors, hazy Innate Spiritual Qi billowed out.
Immortal mist shrouded Changsheng Palace, and Gu Changsheng could not help taking a deep breath.
