Returning Cloud Sect Leader

The Ancestral Dragon Clone was completely unaware of the man's appearance and disappearance; even when he spoke within the Ancestral Dragon Clone, only he himself could hear him.

At this moment, the Ancestral Dragon Clone's mind was completely absorbed in the peculiar fluctuations of the Law within this Xing Chen.

The feeling of the Ten Laws returning to Chaos was something the Ancestral Dragon Clone had only seen when breaking through to the True God Chaos Evolution. He never expected to see it in such a Scroll Painting World. Naturally, he didn't want to miss such an opportunity and tried his best to comprehend the changes within it.

Of course, this is different from breaking through to the True God Chaos Evolution. Back then, one's mind and spirit were integrated into the Chaos, and one personally experienced the Chaos Evolution. But now, one can only observe the Chaos Evolution from the perspective of an outsider, which is less efficient in cultivation.

Even so, this is still a rare opportunity. And if such an opportunity is available for just part of the entrance examination, what kind of opportunities would one have if they truly became Inner Disciple of the Guiyun Sect, or even a personal disciple?

Time passed by, and in the blink of an eye, the hundred days were almost up. At this time, on the plaza halfway up the mountain, many Inheritors had already defeated their counterparts in the Scroll Painting and flown out of the Scroll Painting.

At this moment, Great Saint Yuluo frowned, thinking to himself: What is that little guy Gu Long doing? With his comprehension, he should be making rapid progress at this stage, so why hasn't he defeated his clone and broken out of the Scroll Painting after so long? Although he could still take the Ancestral Dragon Clone under his wing even if it failed the test, it would not look good on him.

At this moment, the Ancestral Dragon Clone had been cultivating with its eyes closed, suddenly opened them and looked at its clone in front of it, calmly smiling, "I'd like to see just how much strength you have!"

As he said this, he threw a punch, aiming at the clone of himself in front of him.

The Ancestral Dragon Clone also threw a punch, which collided head-on with the punch from the Ancestral Dragon Clone.

With a deafening boom, the space of the Scroll Painting World rippled slightly, and the Ancestral Dragon Clone and his copy were simultaneously thrown backward.

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Ancestral Dragon Clone. The punch that the clone had just thrown was almost identical to his full-force attack before entering the Scroll Painting World! Both were top-tier eleventh-order strength, yet he had rarely fought since arriving on the Origin Continent, only sparring with a few Void True God from the Golden Rock Tribe. How did this Scroll Painting know his strength?

However, before the Ancestral Dragon Clone could think further, another punch came from the clone. The Ancestral Dragon Clone could only helplessly raise his fist to meet it, but this time he put a little more force into the punch, wanting to see just how much of his strength the clone in front of him could replicate.

With a loud "BOOM!", only the clone was sent flying backward this time, while the Ancestral Dragon Clone only swayed but did not retreat.

During this period of cultivation, the Ancestral Dragon Clone had already fused most of the final Water Beast God Path with the other four Beast God Path, forcibly raising the level of its secret technique by one level to reach the peak of the Twelfth Stage. If it weren't for wanting to see the clone's abilities, the Ancestral Dragon Clone would have defeated the clone long ago.

After the clone was knocked away, red flames suddenly burst into flames, and its aura surged, with the power of its punches and claws reaching the level of the Second Stage.

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Ancestral Dragon Clone, because the method used by this clone was his Innate Secret Method Bloodburn. It was truly amazing that a clone created by a secret treasure could simulate his own methods without ever having seen them.

Despite these thoughts, the Ancestral Dragon Clone no longer held back. His body shone brightly with red light as he unleashed the Bloodburn Secret Art. With the enhancement of the Bloodburn Secret Art, his strength increased dramatically, reaching the threshold of the thirteenth rank.

With a single punch, a deafening boom resounded as the clone shattered into countless bursts of energy, vanishing from the Xing Chen.

The Ancestral Dragon Clone shook its head. After all, the clone was just a tool to test strength. It would disappear once it demonstrated greater power. If this were a true Void True God, it probably wouldn't be so easy to defeat it.

Thinking this, the Ancestral Dragon Clone took a step forward and appeared on the platform. At this time, there were ten Void True God and seventy-five True God on the platform.

After briefly observing, the Ancestral Dragon Clone said nothing and waited quietly.

Time passed second by second, and in the blink of an eye, the hundred-day period was over. A flash of light appeared on the Scroll Painting, and the True God and Void True God who had not appeared before instantly appeared on the platform. However, these people all had their heads down and were very depressed because they had not passed the test and could only become Outer Sect Disciple of the Guiyun Sect. It should be noted that the treatment of Outer Sect Disciple and Inner Disciple is very different.

At this moment Great Saint Yuluo addressed the crowd in the square. "The Inner Sect Assessment is over. Luo Shang, you lead these newly joined disciples to receive their identity tablets and related benefits. I will not participate in these matters."

Luo Shang nodded quickly and said, "Yes, Master!"

Great Saint Yuluo nodded, then turned his gaze to the Ancestral Dragon Clone. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly noticed a blue-haired man carrying a long sword appear in front of him.

Great Saint Yuluo bowed slightly and said, "Sect Leader! What brings you here?"

At this moment, the Ancestral Dragon Clone also saw the blue-haired man in front of him and was shocked. The blue-haired man was standing right in front of him, but he had a feeling that this person was very far away from him. Moreover, the Ancestral Dragon Clone felt that the blue-haired man was as terrifying as a world of his own.

"God King!" The Ancestral Dragon Clone sighed inwardly. This blue-haired man must be a God King, a peak existence in the Origin Continent. Compared to him, the Great Saint Yuluo, Ancestral Dragon Clone had previously thought was terrifyingly powerful, was nothing.

The blue-haired man turned around, smiled slightly at Great Saint Yuluo, and said, "Senior Brother Yuluo! Thank you for presiding over this disciple recruitment ceremony. You have discovered a peerless genius for our Guiyun Sect, which is a great achievement! I'll Yuluo you to a drink in a few days!"

Upon hearing the blue-haired man's words, Great Saint Yuluo felt a sense of foreboding and quickly replied, "Serving the sect is my duty. I also participated in this disciple recruitment ceremony..."

Before Great Saint Yuluo could finish speaking, the blue-haired man addressed the Ancestral Dragon Clone, saying, "I am Guiyun Sect Leader, the Returning Cloud God King Sect. I see you have considerable talent and wish to take you as my disciple. Would you be willing?"

Upon hearing this, the Ancestral Dragon Clone immediately knelt down and bowed, saying, "Disciple Gu Long greets Master!"

The Ancestral Dragon Clone was not opposed to becoming a disciple, because he knew that only by becoming a disciple could he access the core inheritance of the Guiyun Sect. Originally, he thought he might have to become a disciple of the Great Saint Yuluo, but unexpectedly, the Returning Cloud Sect Leader personally accepted him as a disciple, so he naturally would not refuse. After all, between a Chaos Great Saint and a God King, anyone who wasn't a fool would know which to choose.

At this moment, Great Saint Yuluo's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. He had discovered the unpolished gem that Ancestral Dragon Clone during this disciple-acceptance ceremony, and originally intended to take him under his wing. He thought that once the Ancestral Dragon Clone broke through to the Chaos Stage, having two Great Sages in one sect would greatly enhance his prestige.

Unexpectedly, the Returning Cloud God King intervened and preemptively accepted a disciple, forcing him to suppress his desire to do so.

Returning Cloud God King saw the Ancestral Dragon Clone the title of disciple, a smile appeared on his face. He said with a smile, "Good! Good! Good! From now on, you are my Seventh Disciple. This is your Uncle Yuluo. You should also pay your respects to him!"

The Ancestral Dragon Clone hurriedly bowed to Great Saint Yuluo and said, "Greetings, Uncle Yuluo!"

At this moment, Great Saint Yuluo forced a smile and said, "Congratulations to the Sect Leader on taking on such a fine disciple, Gu Long! From now on, you must cultivate diligently under the Sect Leader's tutelage. You are the future of the sect, and you will bear the heavy responsibility of inheriting its legacy!"

The Ancestral Dragon Clone nodded hurriedly and said, "Don't worry! I will certainly live up to Master Uncle's expectations."

Returning Cloud God King smiled and said, "Senior Brother, I shall take my leave now. Let's meet again another day!"

As he said this, he transformed into a wisp of breeze and disappeared into the world. At the same time, the Ancestral Dragon Clone felt a fluctuation in space and instantly appeared in a tall palace.

At this moment, the Returning Cloud God King was sitting on the throne in the center of the hall, looking at the Ancestral Dragon Clone with great interest.

The Ancestral Dragon Clone respectfully said, "Teacher!"

After a moment, the Returning Cloud God King said, "Now that you have joined my sect, you will certainly receive ample resources. As my disciple, you can take a Origin Embryo from the sect's Treasure Vault as a weapon. Origin Embryo is a super weapon that you can use until you become God King! What weapon do you excel at? I will fetch it for you."

After a moment's thought, the Ancestral Dragon Clone said to the Returning Cloud God King, "Teacher! If possible, I would like to obtain a battle axe-type Origin Embryo. Do we have any in our sect's Treasure Vault?"

"A battle axe?" Returning Cloud God King said with a smile. His hand instantly reached into the void, retrieving a massive, jet-black Great Axe with intricate runes. He handed it to the Ancestral Dragon Clone, saying, "Coincidentally, our sect's Treasure Vault has such a battle axe! I'll give it to you! This battle axe can be inscribed with nine secret techniques, including three each of the Eternal True God Level, the Chaos Great Saint level, and the God King Level. It's quite good for Origin Embryo; I hope you won't waste this Origin Embryo!"

As he said this, the Returning Cloud God King threw the Great Axe in his hand to the Ancestral Dragon Clone.

Ancestral Dragon Clone gripped the Great Axe, he felt his entire body brimming with power. Even though he hadn't yet inscribed any secret runes on the Great Axe Embryo, he knew through his understanding that this Great Axe could directly amplify his strength by one level.

The Ancestral Dragon Clone Ancestral Dragon Clone held the newly acquired Great Axe and lightly sliced through the air, creating a small spatial rift in front of it.

A hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the Ancestral Dragon Clone. This was the first time he had created a spatial rift since arriving on the Origin Continent.

The Returning Cloud God King said with a smile, "Not bad, right?"

The Ancestral Dragon Clone hurriedly said, "Thank you, Master! This disciple will certainly live up to your expectations."

Returning Cloud God King nodded and said, "There's one more thing. Once you reach the Chaos Great Saint level, you'll need to acquire another Primordial Origin Embryo to fill the Origin Embryo in your current one. Chaos Great Saint is already a high-ranking member of the sect and needs to contribute to the sect!"

The Ancestral Dragon Clone nodded and said, "Don't worry, Master! This disciple understands!"

A hint of relief flashed in Returning Cloud God King's eyes upon seeing this. He then took out a piece of jade and said to the Ancestral Dragon Clone, "This jade contains the Returning Cloud Heart Sutra, the supreme secret manual of my Guiyun Sect. This Returning Cloud Heart Sutra was created by my master and contains many secret techniques and cultivation guidelines of my Guiyun Sect. It is a secret manual that leads directly to the God King level. It cannot be cultivated without the direct instruction of the sect leader. After you have cultivated it, destroy the jade to prevent the Returning Cloud Heart Sutra from being leaked and my Guiyun Sect from being targeted."

The Ancestral Dragon Clone nodded and said, "Don't worry, Master! I will absolutely not reveal this to anyone."

The Returning Cloud God King nodded and said, "As my personal disciple, you will have an independent courtyard on Returning Cloud Peak where you will cultivate. If you have any questions, you can ask me. In addition, you will have one opportunity to enter the Scroll Painting World for cultivation every ten thousand days, and each time it will last for one hundred days. Do you have any objections?"

"Scroll Painting World?" the Ancestral Dragon Clone countered.

Returning Cloud God King nodded and said, "The world you entered during the Inner Disciple assessment was a Scroll Painting World, but that was only the most basic Scroll Painting World. Within my Guiyun Sect, there is another, much larger Scroll Painting World, where the Law of the world are more clearly manifested. It was painted by me in conjunction with several other God King experts who cultivate the World Path. It is a sacred cultivation Holy Land of our sect, and only direct disciples are qualified to cultivate within it. As my Core Disciple, you are naturally qualified to cultivate within it as well."

Upon hearing this, the Ancestral Dragon Clone was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Thank you so much, Master!"

Returning Cloud God King nodded and then said, "Alright! This is your identity token. Take the token and go back now! If you have any questions about cultivation, come back here and ask me!"

The Ancestral Dragon Clone nodded hurriedly and said, "Thank you, Master! This disciple takes his leave!"

With a casual wave of his hand, the Returning Cloud God King 'Ancestral Dragon Clone vanished from the main hall and reappeared in a quiet courtyard.

Watching the vanished Ancestral Dragon Clone, the Returning Cloud God King sighed softly, "A promising talent indeed! I hope you won't reveal the Guiyun Sect's heritage to anyone, otherwise you'll know that I'm not only proficient in the Dao of the World, but also have some knowledge of the Causality Path."

When the Ancestral Dragon Clone arrived in the courtyard, it did not immediately begin cultivating. Instead, it sat down and began to ponder. At the same time, it thought to itself: The Guiyun Sect's inheritance is probably of a similar level to the Duan Donghe Inheritance. The Third Generation Ancestor of Duan Donghe was a God King, and the Returning Cloud God King was also a God King. It is estimated that their Inheritance Secret Technique and the like are similar.

Thinking this, he saw the Ancestral Dragon Clone probe a wisp of divine power into the jade given to him by the Returning Cloud God King. Soon, a large amount of information rushed into his mind, and the massive flow of information impacted his will.

The Ancestral Dragon Clone quickly reviewed the inheritance, a hint of excitement flashing in its eyes.
