Innate Sword Immortal Body
The overwhelming sword aura was like the hilt of Imperial Emperor's sword. Li Hao glanced at the top center, where it seemed to be the Imperial Emperor's eyes, staring at him.
However, this Emperor's Might paled in comparison to the grandeur of the Heavenly Calamity Imperial Palace.
The former chief disciple of Sword Abyss, who split the mountain, had just entered the Immortal King Realm at the time. Even with the full strength of the Immortal King Realm, he could barely unleash a trace of the Emperor Sword's power.
Li Hao glanced at it and then looked away. Although there were many names on Emperor Sword Cliff, he had no interest in joining in the fun.
If you really want to leave your mark, you might as well create your own separate space.
Back in the courtyard on the Mountain Summit, Qi Meng'an learned that Li Hao had returned and hurriedly went to greet him, telling Li Hao about when Yue Xi Fairy her name at Emperor Sword Cliff.
The Steward also harbored a secret desire to encourage Li Hao, after all, he had never seen such a relaxed Swordsman.
After hearing this, Li Hao remembered that he had forgotten to pay attention to what was below when he passed by earlier, but it was a minor matter. He nodded and asked Steward Qi to deliver his congratulations on his behalf, while he himself went to the sword arena in the courtyard and opened the Barrier there, so that only he and Evening Primrose, who held the Sword Talisman, could enter.
The greatest gain from this breakthrough in his State of Mind Angling was not in Sword Dao, but in Li Hao's comprehension of the Time Origin Great Dao.
In the Nine Orders, Time and Space reign supreme.
Previously, painting helped him comprehend the Origin Great Dao of space; now, Angling allows him to perceive the passage and vastness of time, enabling him to Angling out fragments of the Years from the River of Time.
Of the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal he had previously condensed, five of the Origin Great Dao came from the Nine Orders. Now, Li Hao plans to replace one of the other four with the original Great Dao of Origin of Time!
The Immortal Seal could only hold nine flowers at its peak. Li Hao tried to integrate the Time Origin Great Dao, but he couldn't integrate it at all. He could only choose one of them to replace it.
With the remaining four flowers, Li Hao pondered for a moment and selected the Immortal Guides the Way from the Great Dream Nine Abyss. Although the Origin this sword technique was exquisite, it was only a branch of the Sword Dao Origin, and it was only with great difficulty that it was condensed into a single flower.
Enveloped by the Barrier, Li Hao began his Seclusion, replacing and refining the new Nine Flowers Immortal Seal.
As the Time Origin Great Dao merged into it, Li Hao's Nine Flowers Immortal Seal immediately emitted a shrinking suction force, rapidly drawing in the Immortal Power of the surrounding Heaven and Earth.
All the Immortal Power in the courtyard converged on the sword arena, but it was still far from enough, so Li Hao had to unleash the All Heavens Star Meridian Ultimate Realm.
This time, Starlight from Heavenly Realms appeared around his body. These Starlight were the real Xingchen of the True Realm, and the projections were all vast Immortal Power, which was continuously poured into Li Hao's body.
While Li Hao was cultivating, Qi Meng'an in the courtyard noticed the strange flow of Immortal Power. When she realized that it was all converging on the sword field, she breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her lips.
It seems that Yue Xi 'Fairy progress has indeed had some impact on his young master.
As the new Nine Flowers Immortal Seal was formed, the flowers of the Time Origin and the Space Origin seemed to connect and merge together on the Immortal Seal, outlining a complex and exquisite Dao Patterns that emitted a power that slightly distorted the surrounding Time and Space.
These two patterns at the bottom of the Immortal Seal, like branches and leaves, support the other Immortal Dao patterns.
As Li Hao slowly drew the Immortal Seal into his body, he immediately felt the power of Time and Space resonate with him. It seemed that he could easily Mastery the Time and Space around him with every move he made. This kind of Mastery at the Origin level surpassed Immortal Power. Even if the opponent's Immortal Power was ten times, or even dozens or hundreds of times, he would be toyed with.
The first year in Sword Abyss has come to an end.
That year, Li Hao's Nine Flowers Immortal Seal gained three layers of Dao Patterns from the Third Layer of the Time Origin Great Dao.
Sword Dao also successfully reached the Eleventh Dan kendo.
Furthermore, he has made some progress and improvements in his Chess and painting skills.
At the end of the year, heavy snow fell from the sky, turning the world into a blanket of white.
The hillsides and pavilions of Sword Abyss were all shrouded in a hazy silver hue.
During the heavy snow, Li Tiemu returned to the Mountain Summit, bringing with him a handsome and extraordinary young man.
"This is your new Junior Little Brother, Gu Yan!"
Li Tiemu summoned Wei Hongye, Li Hao, and others to the front of the Sword Immortal Pavilion, and in front of everyone, he accepted the young man as a disciple, introducing him to them.
The boy looked similar to Li Hao, both around seventeen or eighteen years old, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. His eyes were heterochromatic, with the upper edge of his pupils like Crimson Fire and the lower edge silver-white, making him exceptionally mysterious.
Those with such heterochromatic eyes clearly possess extraordinary Dao Body.
"Gu Yan, the surname Gu?"
Upon hearing Old Man Li's introduction, Wei Hongye's expression changed slightly, as if she were recalling some ancient legend.
Li Tiemu knew that some of his disciples had powerful backgrounds and extraordinary insight, so he didn't hide it.
He said, "That's right, he's Ancient Immortal Descendant, from the Gu Clan, Innate Sword Immortal Body!"
Upon hearing his words, Li Hao and Xu Jianming both looked at him in confusion, clearly having never heard of such a thing.
But Wei Hongye and Yue Xi's pupils contracted slightly as they stared at the young man in shock.
Among the Myriad Races of the True World, the Ancient Immortal Descendant is extremely rare, making them a top-tier race on the verge of extinction.
Legend has it that the Ancient Immortal Descendant lineage is born with various divine abilities, and this young man before us is actually born with the Innate Sword Immortal Body, the strongest Dao Body for practicing swordsmanship in legend.
Yue Xi stared at the other person in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief.
The boy named Gu Yan remained calm, even somewhat numb, as he listened quietly to Li Tiemu's introduction.
Without saying a word, and without glancing left or right, he simply raised his head slightly and looked at the pavilion behind Li Tiemu.
Seeing the shocked expressions on Li Hao and Xu Jianming, Li Tiemu was in a very good mood and explained with a smile:
"See this plaque behind me? It reads 'Sword Immortal Pavilion.' Among sword cultivators, the highest realm is Sword Immortal!"
"Those Innate Sword Immortal Body immortal can grasp the Sword Dao Origin from a young age. In other words, as soon as they are able to learn and practice swordsmanship, they are already capable of using the sword to Path of Sacrifice!"
Upon hearing this, both Li Hao and Xu Jianming were somewhat unsettled.
Li Hao thought he was cheating, but it turned out there were people who were even more cheating than him.
He could use his sword to Path of Sacrifice as soon as he started practicing swordsmanship.
Xu Jianming was stunned and bewildered. Two Prodigy Junior Sister and brothers had just arrived, and now an even more outrageous one had appeared?
"Master, where did you find this?"
Xu Jianming couldn't help but say.
Li Tiemu's eyes gleamed with smugness as he said, "Naturally, it's because we're destined to be together. The depth of our Sword Abyss's Sword Dao is enough to allow him to fully unleash the Sword Immortal Body, giving him a sliver of hope to one day reach the Supreme of Sword Dao!"
He naturally didn't mention that he had snatched such a promising talent from the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Pavilion.
Otherwise, why would he be away from the Sect every day, running around everywhere?
Xu Jianming didn't believe the old man's nonsense. He rolled his eyes slightly, but was somewhat suspicious. Had this Old Man Li recently experienced a Heavenly Dao of good luck?
"I will teach you the sword techniques I taught you when I first entered the Sword Abyss Sect. You must master them within seven days."
At this moment, Li Tiemu spoke to the young man Gu Yan in front of him.
Gu Yan remained calm, but when he heard the sword incantation, a sharp glint seemed to appear in his numb eyes.
Yue Xi, however, had a complicated expression. She looked at Li Hao, wanting to meet his gaze and seek a sense of resonance.
She had inquired and found out that neither her Senior Sister Wei Hongye nor her fourth senior brother Xu Jianming had been required to wait half a month, but she and Li Hao were required to wait half a month, which meant they were extremely Heavenly Talent.
But now, the boy in front of me is being asked to spend only seven days!
At this moment, as Li Tiemu practiced, the Immortal Guides the Way Swordsmanship naturally flowed, embodying the essence of the Great Dao's simplicity.
Li Hao watched Old Man Li's demonstration, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.
This Old Man Li's sword technique demonstration has already reached the level of his original intention, which is the level he has mastered so far.
It's just unknown whether this is the full extent of his serious teaching abilities.
Soon, Old Man Li finished practicing. Before he could give any instructions, Gu Yan suddenly closed his eyes, then opened them a moment later. A sword suddenly appeared in his palm, and he immediately began to wield it.
Seeing his initial stance, Li Hao understood and stepped back to avoid it.
Yue Xi reacted a little slower and was almost injured by the opponent's blade. After dodging it, she looked at the opponent with a look of horror.
At this moment, the Swordsmanship that Gu Yan was practicing was none other than "The Immortal Guides the Way"!
At first, he was a little rusty, but soon he began to grasp the Dao Resonance, and his Swordsmanship was mastered!
You can get started after just one viewing!
Moreover, as he became more and more skilled, the subtle nuances of his Swordsmanship seemed to be revealed.
This shocked not only Yue Xi, but also Wei Hongye and Xu Jianming, who stared blankly at their new Junior Little Brother.
Li Tiemu froze, then his mouth split into a wide grin, almost reaching his ears, his smile uncontrollable.
What a treasure!
He was already fantasizing about how the enemy would shock the entire Southern Region's many powerful factions, including the Tianzong Sect, during the Southern Region Assembly Battle!
"Okay, okay!"
After finishing the Gu Yan Swordsmanship, Li Tiemu was beaming from ear to ear, saying, "As Heavenly Talent of Innate Sword Immortal Body immortal! With the support and foundation of my Sword Abyss, you will surely become the Supreme of the Sword Dao one day!"
He laughed loudly, then said, "Come on, I'll take you to Sword Abyss Tower!"
Wei Hongye and Xu Jianming opened their mouths slightly, but remained silent. They could both see that their Master was in a very good mood and valued this Junior Little Brother highly.
Their swordsmanship skills also prevented them from feeling jealous.
Yue Xi watched her Master leave and her new Junior Little Brother arrive, her expression incredibly complex. She bit her lip slightly.
Gently clench your fingers.
Previously, when his Master brought her here, although he valued her highly, he entrusted her education to Wei Hongye. How could he treat this Ancient Immortal Descendant with such intimacy now?
"It seems that this Junior Little Brother will surpass us soon. I just sensed him, and he's also at the True Immortal Realm Third Layer!"
As Xu Jianming spoke, he glanced at Li Hao and Yue Xi, his eyes filled with longing.
Wei Hongye's eyes flickered as she said, "Master has been frequently traveling lately, searching for Heavenly Prodigy disciples. This time, it concerns the ranking of the Tianzong, and all forces are paying close attention to it. The competition for Heavenly Prodigy disciples is even fiercer. We no longer have the opportunity to participate; we can only entrust it to you."
As she spoke, she looked at Yue Xi and Li Hao.
Yue Xi gazed at the footprints left at the end of the snow-covered steps; the figures of the old man and the young man had already disappeared.
She withdrew her gaze, turned and left without saying a word.
Li Hao brushed the snowflakes off his clothes, glanced at the heavy snow, and realized it was the perfect time for hot pot and Roast Meat. He immediately invited Wei Hongye and Xu Jianming to his Small Courtyard.
Upon learning that Li Hao was going to Cooking for them, Wei Hongye and Xu Jianming exchanged a glance, both feeling something was off. They sensed urgency and eagerness from Yue Xi, but this Seventh Brother seemed extremely relaxed throughout. Even after being surpassed by Yue Xi, he didn't seem nervous at all, whether genuinely or just pretending.
"No need for food, there will be other opportunities in the future, Junior Little Brother —oh no, I should call you Seventh Junior Brother now."
You should hurry back and cultivate too.
Wei Hongye said.
Xu Jianming nodded, patted Li Hao on the shoulder, and said, "Our lineage still relies on you guys for support, so don't lose to Elder Zhou's disciples."
Li Hao was helpless; he had invited them here partly for his own cultivation.
However, they were unwilling, and Li Hao did not force them; good food naturally has its guests.
He nodded, said goodbye to them, and then returned to the courtyard.
Thinking of Cooking, Li Hao thought of the Ancient Demon's corpse and couldn't help but swallow hard.
Of all the ingredients in the True Realm, those from the Ancient Demon Clan are the most nourishing.
Li Hao immediately summoned Qi Meng'an and asked her how to find the Ancient Demon Clan.
When Li Hao asked about the Ancient Demon, Qi Meng'an's expression became more solemn.
In the True Realm, the mention of the Ancient Demon signifies an enemy shared by all races.
"This is the inner territory of the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty. It's difficult for the Ancient Demon Clan to invade such a deep place. If you want to hunt the Ancient Demon Clan, you can only go to the Frontier and join the Yan Chu Immortal Army. That way, you can also accumulate military merits and receive the Immortal Dynasty's honors and rewards, which are all great resources and treasures!"
Qi Meng'an said.
He came from the Sacred Dynasty within the territory of the Great Dream Nine Abyss Tianzong, which was extremely powerful to mortals, but within the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty, it was only equivalent to a small village.
Upon hearing Steward Qi's words, Li Hao's heart stirred. According to Senior Sister Wei, that Eldest Senior Brother seemed to be currently slaying Ancient Demon on the Frontier, but he was acting on Sword Abyss's orders. It was likely that Sword Abyss had received a summons and assignment from the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty, and thus sent that Eldest Senior Brother to answer the call and participate in the battle.
"It seems the only way to hunt Ancient Demon is on the battlefield."
Li Hao's eyes flickered; perhaps it wasn't so bad to take the risk of using the Ancient Demon's nourishment.
If one could condense Divine Bone and cultivate Primordial Spirit to its Terminal Realm, becoming True God, then one would truly be nearly Undying and Imperishable!
Even if his physical body is shattered, the True God will live on forever, and even Immortal Lord might not be able to kill him!
However, on his way to the Frontier of the Yan-Chu battlefield, Li Hao planned to first visit the Sword Abyss Tower to select Swordsmanship.
It's a bit Past he's been here for a year and hasn't chosen Swordsmanship yet.
The heavy snow stopped, and Li Hao arrived alone at the Sword Abyss Tower.
The majestic Sword Abyss Tower stood tall in the canyon-like basin, surrounded by dim light, with Sword Qi marks everywhere on the rock walls.
Before coming here, Li Hao had heard that Old Man Li had brought his new Junior Little Brother here and had gained the recognition of three top-notch sword techniques.
Furthermore, due to Old Man Li's favor, he was granted special permission to take all three top-tier sword techniques with him and practice them all.
At this moment, Li Hao quietly arrived at this place alone.
The majestic Sword Abyss Tower stood before him. Li Hao stepped forward and concealed his Myriad Manifestation Attribute.
Here, it is the Cultivation Method chooses its master, not the other way around.
He needs to fully reveal his Sword Dao and Sword Intent so that these Cultivation Method can discern his true nature and give him the right to choose.
Li Hao, with a calm expression, arrived at the sword Sword Display Platform Sword Abyss Tower.
At this moment, he shed his disguise, and the Sword Intent emanated from between his brows.
The Sole Self Sword Dao Own is his core Sword Dao, incorporating many Swordsmanship and sword manuals he has mastered, including the Azure Blue Heaven of the Ten Supreme Immortal Arts, all of which have a certain charm and have been integrated into Li Hao's own Sword Dao.
In addition, the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal faintly appeared on his forehead. The Origin and profound principles of the Nine Orders and six paths, including time, space, Water Origin, Earth Origin, Form Dao, and Imperial Dao, were more or less integrated into his Sole Self Sword Dao.
The core concept of the Sole Self Sword Dao is to sever all thoughts and desires in one's heart.
To sever ties, one must first possess them.
Now, his Sole Self Sword Dao, having incorporated many Great Dao Origin, can even distort time and space, reaching a level of strength that even Li Hao himself is unaware of.
Since stepping out of the Heavenly Calamity Imperial Palace, he has not yet had a truly all-out battle.
At this moment, the Sole Self Sword Dao was revealed. The Time and Space around Li Hao seemed to be changing and trembling, and numerous Sword Dao principles surrounded him, like countless sword shadows.
An unimaginable sharpness, domineering power, and disdainful Sword Intent emanated from Li Hao, as if this was his true nature, the sharpness within his heart.
Before him, the majestic Sword Abyss Tower suddenly trembled slightly.
Then, the tremor intensified, and the body began to shake.
Li Hao then realized that all the ancient swords stuck in the Sword Abyss Tower were trembling, as if they were about to break free.
Whoosh!
As the first ancient sword flew out, the rest trembled and followed suit, whistling through the air and eventually forming a storm of Sword Tide energy that enveloped the entire Sword Abyss Tower and Li Hao's body.
Enveloped like a tornado.
Li Hao looked up and gazed at the countless sword techniques floating around him, somewhat bewildered. He hadn't expected so many Sword Dao Cultivation Method to have chosen him.
However, some of the ancient swords at the very top of Sword Abyss Tower were still only trembling slightly, but had not been drawn.
However, as the trembling intensified, several ancient swords were suddenly drawn, displaying their powerful Sword Momentum, and fell in front of Li Hao with a whooshing sound.
The other ancient swords in the Sword Tide seemed to be intimidated by the power of these few ancient swords and dared not approach.
Li Hao knew that these swords must be the top-tier sword techniques of the Sword Abyss Tower.
Just as he was about to make his selection, suddenly, several ancient swords seemed to sense something and abruptly moved aside.
Immediately afterwards, Li Hao saw a golden Divine Sword suddenly fly out from the top of the Sword Abyss Tower.
The Sword Light radiated a golden brilliance, and its appearance was extremely ancient, with countless Dao Resonance swirling around it.
On the blade of the sword, a line of small characters was engraved, which gradually appeared before Li Hao's eyes as the sword slowly descended:
"With one sword, I will slay all under All Under Heaven; in the next life, I will still be a god of swords."
These fourteen characters exude a powerful aura of arrogance, domineering, and overbearing swagger.
Li Hao looked up and saw three words on the sword hilt: Sword God Art!
Li Hao paused slightly. He had seen all sorts of Sword Dao Cultivation Method, but he had never seen such a simple and straightforward name.
The surrounding ancient swords seemed hesitant to approach, all moving to the sides, causing the swirling Sword Tide to grow even thicker.
Because they were now farther away from Li Hao.
Li Hao's eyes flashed. At this moment, there was no need for further thought. Even a child could tell that the sword technique on this sword was one of the best in the Sword Abyss Tower.
He raised his hand and grasped the sword hilt. Instantly, golden light enveloped the sword, obscuring Li Hao's vision and drawing him into a dazzling golden world.
Immediately afterwards, an ancient Whispers resounded, and then Li Hao seemed to see an unparalleled figure, holding a long sword, facing countless figures alone, including immortals, Immortal Deity, and monsters. Finally, with a sweeping sword strike, the dazzling Sword Light obscured Li Hao's vision and also the countless figures.
But that invincible Sword Intent remained in Li Hao's heart, engraved in his Sword Heart.
When everything disappeared, Li Hao found that the sword in his hand had also vanished at some point, and the surrounding Sword Tide had also disappeared; all the swords had returned to their original positions.
It felt like Ru Meng.
But the sword incantation engraved in the Sword Heart told Li Hao that all of this was not a dream.
He brought up the Panel and saw that a new Swordsmanship had appeared:
[Sword God Art (Quasi-Emperor Grade): One of the Nine Swords (Perfection)]
It wasn't a dream after all.
Moreover, this Sword God Art is actually Quasi-Emperor Grade sword technique, which is a top-tier Swordsmanship second only to the Emperor Sword.
Li Hao's Ten Supreme Immortal Arts - Blue Heaven - is only at the Perfection level, and his current Sword Dao has only reached the Perfection of the Sword God Art, and only the first level.
This Sword God Art has nine levels, with rather simple and straightforward names: One Sword, Two Swords, Three Swords, and so on up to Nine Swords!
Just from the name, Li Hao could tell how arrogant, domineering, and disdainful the person who created this Swordsmanship was.
Li Hao left Sword Abyss Tower and returned to his own courtyard.
He planned to set off for the Frontier the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty to hunt some Ancient Demon ingredients. However, when he revealed his idea, Qi Meng'an stopped him and told him about the rules of the Sword Abyss.
Li Hao then inquired with Xu Jianming and learned that one was not allowed to go out for training until one had cultivated to the True Immortal Realm Fifth Layer.
His previous visit to the Floating Slaughter City could only be considered a sightseeing trip.
"Wanting to go to the Frontier for training is a good thing, but with such low cultivation levels, you'd just be an ant Past. The disciples who can become disciples of our Tianzong are all Heavenly Prodigy; how can they easily Past there to be cannon fodder?"
Xu Jianming spoke to Li Hao, while inquiring about Li Hao's cultivation level.
Although Li Hao possessed the ability to conceal his Myriad Manifestation Attribute, he didn't hide it when Li Hao asked.
Upon learning that Li Hao was only at the True Immortal Realm First Layer, Xu Jianming was somewhat speechless. He immediately patted Li Hao on the shoulder, telling him to cultivate diligently and that he could borrow Immortal Stone from him if Li Hao lacked them.
Although it's a loan, these days it's already extremely difficult to get someone to lend money.
Li Hao was somewhat helpless. Going down the mountain for training would test his cultivation level, so he could only focus on cultivating first.
Fortunately, with the 30,000 Immortal Stone accumulated previously, coupled with the support of the All Heavens Star Meridian and the Immortal Power of the Heaven Yard, etc.,
If one truly cultivates oneself, progress can be made by leaps and bounds.
In just one month, Li Hao reached the second level of the True Immortal Realm, and the strength of his Immortal Power doubled.
Two months later, Li Hao reached the True Immortal Realm Third Layer, and his Immortal Power doubled once again.
However, when his cultivation broke through to the True Immortal Realm Third Layer, he learned some news: his new Junior Little Brother, Gu Yan...
I just went to challenge the Emperor Sword Cliff to leave my name, and I actually succeeded! Moreover, I left my name before Yue Xi's.
Having only been a disciple for Three Months, the fact that he was able to leave his name on Emperor Sword Cliff once again caused a sensation throughout the entire Sword Abyss.
In the Moon Pool Courtyard.
Yue Xi had just finished her cultivation and was wiping away her sweat when she heard the news from the Steward.
The silk handkerchief in her hand was instantly crushed.
"Leave your name before mine?"
Yue Xi's eyes trembled slightly. It had only Three Months. She had spent a year as an apprentice before she could even leave her name there.
She was confident in her Sword Dao Heavenly Talent, believing it to be second to none. Even the Prodigy with Nine-Ring Dao Heart was Sword Dao by her.
After all, the Dao Heart is the Dao Heart, Sword Dao is the Sword Dao.
But now, this Prodigy with Innate Sword Immortal Body suddenly gave her a mixed feeling.
Her expression shifted for a moment, then she asked, "What about Haotian?"
"Young Master Hao?"
The Steward bowed his head and replied, "He hasn't made a move yet; he hasn't left his name at Emperor Sword Cliff."
Upon hearing this, Yue Xi immediately relaxed, the breath she had been suppressing that almost made her gasp for air.
I heard from my Senior Sister that after three years at the Heaven Yard, being able to leave a name on the Emperor Sword Cliff is already considered Heavenly Prodigy.
That's why her leaving her name caused such a sensation, because she was far superior to even the Heavenly Prodigy talents.
She didn't rest any longer and turned back to cultivate.
Although having someone to take the fall made her feel a little better, was Innate Sword Immortal Body truly incomparable?
She didn't believe it.
She was told from a young age that she would bring misfortune, so she refused to believe in fate. If it was truly her destiny, then she would change it!
After causing a sensation by leaving his name on Emperor Sword Cliff Three Months Gu Yan, Li Hao reached the True Immortal Realm Fourth Layer months later!
During this time, besides practicing his spiritual cultivation, he would seek out elderly Chess players in the courtyard to Sparring, or challenge others to other Art Skill.
That day, Li Hao had just finished his cultivation when he felt a buzzing and whistling sound flying past above the courtyard.
Immediately afterwards, Li Tiemu's voice drifted into Li Hao's ears in the courtyard:
"All disciples, assemble immediately!"
