Li Qingxu couldn't help but sigh inwardly upon seeing this.
Ye Hei and Xiao Yan were putting on a show in the chat group; Zhu Zhanji of the Great Ming World was probably in for a rough time.
[Qingxu Daojun: It seems you all got along quite well during my seclusion.]
As soon as Li Qingxu said this, Ye Hei and the others immediately perked up.
[Ye Hei: Senior, have you finished your seclusion?]
[Xiao Yan: Congratulations on emerging from seclusion, Senior! May your cultivation reach new heights! (ノ´ヮ´)ノ*:・゚✧]
[Emperor Yongle: Congratulations to the Immortal on the completion of his cultivation!]
[Qingxu Daojun: Mm, I gained some insights during my century of seclusion. How have you all been recently?]
As soon as Li Qingxu said this, Ye Hei and the other two were dumbfounded.
[Ye Hei: Huh? A century?? (⊙_⊙)]
[Ye Hei: Senior, from the time you bestowed the Immortal Leaf upon me to my breakthrough to the Four Extremes and arrival at Qishi Mansion in Zhongzhou, it's only been a year at most!]
[Ye Hei: So, if it's been one year for me, it's already been a century for you in your world?]
[Xiao Yan: My world is a bit slower. After my coming-of-age ceremony in Wutan City, I followed my teacher out for training, searching for traces of Heavenly Flames. It's been about half a year.]
[Xiao Yan: Brother Ye's world and mine have a time flow difference of double, but compared to your Primordial World, it's vastly different.]
[Emperor Yongle: My realm... the flow of time seems to be much slower.]
[Emperor Yongle: Since obtaining my immortal destiny in Yumuchuan, I led the Three Thousand Camp to invade the depths of the grasslands, subjugated the Oirat, Tatar, and Kharluk tribes, forcing them to submit tribute. This took about ten days. Now, I am planning to select a date to return to the capital.]
As the three messages popped up one after another, Li Qingxu's heart suddenly became clear.
As expected, there were huge differences in the flow of time between different worlds.
But this was good. The Primordial World often involved tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years. If the time flow were the same, the group members from lower-level worlds would have likely turned to Kitsuchi by the time he emerged from seclusion.
In the chat group, Xiao Yan and the others also realized this.
[Xiao Yan: So, does this mean that the higher the world level, the faster the relative time flow?]
Xiao Yan made the summary, while Ye Hei, who was adept at social interactions, seized the opportunity to express his concern.
[Ye Hei: Thank you for your concern, Senior. We've all been doing quite well recently. How about you?]
Li Qingxu did not hide anything and frankly informed them of his current situation.
[Qingxu Daojun: I have only recently emerged from seclusion. Coincidentally, Primordial Saint and Tongtian Saint of Kunlun Immortal Mountain have announced that they are widely accepting disciples. I am currently on my way to Kunlun Mountain to seek guidance and become their disciple.]
These few understated words, however, stirred up a more violent storm in the hearts of the three than when they discovered the time difference.
Become a disciple?!
To them, he was already an unfathomable supreme being who could connect all heavens with a single thought and bestow a single leaf to change their destinies, yet he still needed to become a disciple?!
[Xiao Yan: Primordial Saint, Tongtian Saint... these legendary supreme deities actually exist, and in the world where Senior is?]
Ye Hei, Xiao Yan, and Zhu Di had all heard of the legendary supreme deities of Taoism, the Three Pure Ones, but they had always thought they were merely fictional gods. They never expected them to be real.
[Ye Hei: With Senior's divine power to communicate with all heavens and myriad worlds with a single thought, you still need to become a disciple of Primordial Saint and Tongtian Saint.]
[Ye Hei: Then how powerful must these two Saints be? Can they annihilate Burial Emperor Star with a single finger?]
If you find this book to your liking, please add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
[Qingxu Daojun: Not that weak.]
[Qingxu Daojun: Saints are supreme, indestructible through all kalpas, existing in harmony with the Dao. With a single thought, they can create the great thousand worlds or return them to chaos.]
[Qingxu Daojun: The worlds you inhabit are no different from dust in the eyes of a Saint. Annihilating them billions of times over is also a matter of a single thought.]
As soon as Li Qingxu said this, everyone in the chat group collectively gasped.
Such cultivation was completely beyond their imagination.
[Ye Hei: I've learned something new. I originally thought that Immortals, who are legendary for being immortal, were the pinnacle of the Dao. I never expected there to be such supreme and omnipotent beings.]
[Ye Hei: It seems the path of cultivation is truly endless.]
[Xiao Yan: I truly hope that one day I can visit your Primordial World and broaden my horizons.]
[Ye Hei: Let's focus on cultivating properly first. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to be killed by an ant in the Primordial World.]
[Emperor Yongle: May I ask the Immortal, on your journey to Kunlun Immortal Mountain, do you intend to become a disciple of Primordial Saint or Tongtian Saint?]
Upon hearing this, Li Qingxu fell into deep thought.
In terms of cultivation and personal strength, Primordial Heavenly Venerate and Tongtian Cult Master were roughly equal.
However, Primordial Heavenly Venerate advocated following the natural order and was extremely strict about the roots of his disciples. His current Innate Five Elements Root was only at a mid-level Innate Root, making it unlikely to catch Primordial Saint's eye.
As for Tongtian Cult Master, although he accepted disciples regardless of their background, his disciples were a mixed bag, with many demons and monsters, and they formed cliques, such as the Seven Attendants, the Ten Absolute Heavenly Lords, and the Four Saints of Jiulong Island.
If he joined them alone, he might face ostracism.
Furthermore, the Jie Sect would eventually fall apart during the calamity due to the karmic debts incurred by its disciples and the lack of a supreme innate treasure to suppress its Destiny.
Considering all this, Li Qingxu decided that if he could join the Chan Sect, he would prioritize joining the Chan Sect.
If he wasn't chosen by the Primordial Heavenly Venerate, he would then settle for joining the Jie Sect.
After all, even with the Myriad Worlds Chat Group as his cheat, there was no need for him to "suffer unnecessarily" or "act against the heavens."
Moreover, compared to the Tongtian Cult Master, the Primordial Heavenly Venerate was much more protective of his disciples.
In his past life memories, when the Kunlun Twelve Golden Immortals had their Three Flowers and Five Energies severed by the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, the Primordial Heavenly Venerate personally intervened and sent Sanxiao to the Investiture of the Gods.
This kind of behavior, where the strong bullied the weak, was indeed easy to criticize, but for the disciples of the Chan Sect, it was a tangible advantage.
[Qingxu Daojun: I wish to take the Primordial Saint as my master. If it fails, I will then seek to join the Tongtian Saint's sect.]
[Qingxu Daojun: However, there are many people going to Kunlun Mountain to seek discipleship this time. It might be difficult for me to catch the Saint's eye, and I might return empty-handed.]
Li Qingxu felt that with his current conditions, the difficulty of becoming a disciple of a Saint was quite high.
But Ye Hei and the others were full of confidence in him.
[Emperor Yongle: Your Excellency is both benevolent and virtuous. The two Saints will surely recognize your brilliance and accept you into their lineage.]
[Xiao Yan: If the Saints cannot take Senior as their disciple, it will surely be their loss.]
[Ye Hei: I think so too ("▔□▔)/("▔□▔)/]
Looking at the messages from the three, Li Qingxu's somewhat anxious mood calmed down considerably. He even felt as if he wasn't going to Kunlun Mountain alone.
"Setting aside other things, they certainly provide enough emotional support."
Li Qingxu smiled slightly, deciding to send another red packet to reward them, and at the same time, increase the group's activity to upgrade the group and unlock more functions and permissions as soon as possible.
If you can't find the book by its title, you can try searching for the author. Perhaps they've just changed their name!
