Master's Sect

Top ten! Primordial Beginning Secret Realm! First! Original Secret Realm! Hearing this, Qin Zhao's heart couldn't help but race. He deeply understood the significance.

"Of course, the road is perilous, and determination alone isn't enough." Noah Kingdom Lord's tone shifted, and an item materialized out of thin air before Qin Zhao.

It was a pair of seemingly ancient silver bracers. Their surfaces were engraved with countless, incredibly dense spatial runes that flowed slowly like living things, radiating a heart-shaking spatial fluctuation. At the center of each bracer was set a transparent crystal, grain-sized yet seemingly containing endless spatial mysteries.

"This pair of 'Void Mark Bracers' is a little trinket I obtained in my early years." Noah Kingdom Lord said calmly, "Wearing them while cultivating spatial secret techniques, especially movement techniques like Ten Thousand Line Flow, can help you perceive the pulse and structure of space more clearly. When condensing phantom bodies, it can save you some mental effort and improve your comprehension efficiency. It should be of some help in your current stage of stabilizing 'First Line Flow' and advancing toward 'Nine Line Flow' and 'Hundred Line Flow'."

Qin Zhao was overjoyed. This was a treasure bestowed by a Universe Venerable! Although Noah Kingdom Lord spoke of it lightly, to a Star Level cultivator like him, it was absolutely a heaven-defying cultivation aid! He quickly accepted it with both hands, feeling the coolness and spatial fluctuations from the bracers. His very soul seemed to become a bit clearer.

"Thank you, Kingdom Lord, for the gift! Qin Zhao will not let you down!" Qin Zhao bowed respectfully once more.

"Go now, cultivate well. Lanchen, teach this disciple properly." Noah Kingdom Lord's voice gradually faded, and the Chaos Qi Flow thickened again, completely shrouding his figure.

"Yes, teacher (Kingdom Lord)!" King Lanchen and Qin Zhao answered in unison.

The next moment, space shifted, and the two had already left that Supreme God Temple, returning to King Lanchen's exclusive plane within the Noah Secret Realm—the "Thick Earth Continent."

Qin Zhao's first impression of this continent was "heaviness" and "stability." The soil beneath his feet was not ordinary earth but "Breathing Soil," imbued with pure Law of Earth Origin energy. With every breath, dense earth energy surged into his body on its own, nourishing his Earth God Clone and even making his comprehension of the Law of Earth seem slightly clearer.

In the distance, mountain ranges rose and fell, each peak unique in form. Some were like swords piercing the sky, others like giant turtles crouching low, all displaying the various Mysteries of the Law of Earth. The sky was not the usual blue but flowed with energy streams like yellow sand rivers, interwoven with strands of silvery spatial energy, forming a strange and wondrous tableau.

This was King Lanchen's exclusive plane—the Thick Earth Continent. A cultivation holy land that a King Rank Immortal had managed for endless ages. Its environment was far superior to the Ice Ripple Secret Realm where Qin Zhao had previously stayed, by an immeasurable margin.

"This is where I usually meditate in seclusion, and also the foundation for you and your fellow disciples." King Lanchen's voice snapped Qin Zhao out of his awe. "Now that you've formally taken me as your teacher, choose a peak here and build your own dwelling. The energy here is abundant and will benefit your comprehension of both the Law of Earth and the Law of Space."

"Yes, teacher!" Qin Zhao suppressed his excitement and answered respectfully.

King Lanchen nodded slightly, then moved his mind. The next moment, several powerful auras approached from afar, rapidly descending upon the main peak at the center of the Thick Earth Continent.

The light dissipated, revealing eight figures. They varied in form—some were human, others were special life forms—but without exception, they all radiated heart-shaking powerful fluctuations. Their law auras were either as heavy as mountains, as ethereal as space, or a combination of both. Even the weakest among them gave Qin Zhao a feeling far surpassing the Nine Peaks Immortal, clearly at least at the Immortal God level!

"Teacher!" The eight saw King Lanchen and bowed in unison, their attitudes respectful.

"Mm." King Lanchen's gaze swept over them, a trace of warmth appearing on his face. "You're all here. This is your teacher's newest disciple, your Ninth Junior Brother, Qin Zhao."

Eight pairs of eyes instantly fixed on Qin Zhao, carrying curiosity, scrutiny, but mostly goodwill. Being stared at by eight beings at least at the Immortal God level put immense pressure on Qin Zhao, but he took a deep breath, stepped forward neither humbly nor arrogantly, and bowed: "Qin Zhao greets all senior brothers and sisters!"

"Haha, good! Little junior brother, no need for such formality!" A burly, bald-headed man with bronze-colored skin as if forged from metal laughed heartily, his voice like a great bell. "I'm your Second Senior Brother, Yan Kui! My title is 'Marquis Golden Rock'! From now on, if anyone in the secret realm dares to bully you, just mention my name!" His aura was thick and carried an indestructible sharpness, clearly a master of the Law of Earth who had reached a profound level.

"Second Senior Brother." Qin Zhao quickly greeted him again.

A woman in a silver-tasseled long dress, with a cold expression and a figure seemingly shrouded in layers of spatial folds, nodded slightly, her voice ethereal: "Hello, little junior brother! I'm your Third Senior Sister, Yin Yi, titled 'Marquis Phantom Space'." She clearly specialized in the Law of Space.

"..."

Then, the others introduced themselves one by one.

Qin Zhao greeted each of them, his heart shaken. Counting himself, his teacher had nine personal disciples, and besides himself, all were Immortal Gods! And judging by their titles, they were at least Marquis Level! Second Senior Brother Yan Kui was even at the peak of Marquis Level, likely only a step away from King Rank. What a formidable force this was!

King Lanchen watched his disciples meet each other and nodded slightly: "Qin Zhao has just entered our sect and his cultivation is still shallow. As his senior brothers and sisters, you must look after him in the future. If he has any questions in his cultivation, you may also discuss them with each other."

"Rest assured, teacher. We understand." Everyone answered in unison.

Second Senior Brother Yan Kui, the most straightforward of them all, flipped his large hand. A crystal appeared in his palm, dark yellow all over with natural crack-like patterns on its surface, radiating a dense Law of Earth Origin aura: "Little junior brother, this is our first meeting. Your senior brother doesn't have anything fancy. Take this 'Earth Source Core.' Wear it on you at all times. It can constantly nourish your Earth Domain and accelerate your comprehension of the Law of Earth Origin. It's a decent cultivation aid."

Qin Zhao could feel the vast, pure earth energy contained within the crystal, absolutely priceless. He quickly accepted it: "Thank you, Second Senior Brother!"

Third Senior Sister Yin Yi extended her slender jade-like finger and pointed in the air. A silver light shot into Qin Zhao's brow: "This is a spatial secret technique I used in my early years called 'Void Shadow Escape.' I heard from teacher that the movement technique you primarily cultivate is Ten Thousand Line Flow? Void Shadow Escape can assist in comprehending Ten Thousand Line Flow, so it's perfect for you!"

The next moment, a stream of profound information regarding the application of the Law of Space unfolded in Qin Zhao's mind, deepening his understanding of Ten Thousand Line Flow.

"Thank you, Third Senior Sister!"

Following Yan Kui and Yin Yi's lead, Qin Zhao's other senior brothers and sisters also each gave him a gift. Some were light, some were heavy—this was also a tradition of King Lanchen's lineage! If King Lanchen took on more disciples in the future, Qin Zhao, as a senior brother, would have to give gifts to his junior brothers and sisters as well!

Qin Zhao looked at the generous gifts before him from his senior brothers and sisters. Each one was extremely precious and highly targeted, clearly prepared with care. A warmth surged in his heart, and he bowed deeply once more: "Qin Zhao thanks all senior brothers and sisters for your generous gifts!"

King Lanchen watched this scene, a flash of satisfaction passing through his eyes. A harmonious sect, where members supported each other, was the way to go far.
