After the Palace Lord of the Demon Palace's persuasion, Ling Kongzi no longer blocked Mo Guyu from joining the Dao Sect of the Spirit Realm.
Ling Yuanzi was overjoyed as well and temporarily accepted Mo Guyu as a "nominal disciple."
Strictly speaking, with Mo Guyu's talent, he could casually join any sect in either the Devil Realm or the Spirit Realm and become a Core Disciple-level figure.
Yet Ling Yuanzi had said that he would only temporarily accept him as a "nominal disciple."
If it had been anyone else, they would certainly have seen this as a humiliation for Mo Guyu. To a Dao Sect, however, it was an honor.
The Dao Sect was extremely strict when accepting disciples. No matter how high one's talent or how powerful one's background, every disciple had to begin as a "nominal disciple."
Moreover, after entering the sect, the master and sect would often not immediately impart their skills and Dao Arts. Instead, they would carefully test and guide the disciple for several years.
As for what they tested and taught? Nothing more than the disciple's character and comprehension.
The Dao Arts of the Dao Sect were completely different from the Mystic Arts and Dao Arts of other sects. The Dao Sect's Dao Arts required "comprehension."
Exceptional talent did not necessarily mean exceptional comprehension.
For example, in Lin Bai and the others' eyes, the power Mo Guyu had displayed with the "Innate Eight Trigrams Dao Arts" was already tremendous.
Yet in the eyes of Ling Kongzi of the Innate Dao Sect and Ling Yuanzi of the Spirit Realm Dao Sect, it had merely "obtained the form but not the meaning."
This was enough to show how profound the Dao Sect's Dao Arts were. They practically represented the pinnacle of the current Martial Dao world.
