Chen Siyao continued reading: "'The Heavenly Lord has countless disciples. His outer disciples are beyond numbering, his inner disciples number three thousand six hundred, his direct disciples thirty-six, and his core disciples four. I am an inner disciple, ranked one thousand seven hundred and twenty-three.'"
Wu Tian clicked his tongue. "Three thousand six hundred inner disciples, and he ranked seventeen hundred and something? That's not even middle of the pack, is it?"
"Being middle of the pack among Heavenly Lord Tongtian's disciples was already an incredible achievement," Chen Siyao said.
The livestream chat suddenly grew much denser.
[Wait... an inner disciple ranked seventeen hundred and something was already this powerful??]
[Then how terrifying were the ones above him???]
[Thirty-six direct disciples! Four core disciples! What level were those people at?]
[What about Heavenly Lord Tongtian himself???? Just how powerful was he???]
[Oh my god...]
[The more you think about it, the scarier it gets, guys.]
Chen Siyao continued translating the remaining text on the wall. There was little left, mostly Ji Li's explanation of why he had guarded this island.
By the Heavenly Lord's command, he had guarded the third island of the Thirty-Six Penglai Islands, using formations and Magical Treasures as inheritance trials while awaiting someone destined to receive them.
The bamboo slip and Jade Talismans on the stone platform were the rewards for clearing the first two trials.
Chen Siyao collected them... the bamboo slip contained a method for circulating spiritual power, while each of the three Jade Talismans held a sealed offensive spell.
They were all good items, but her brother would have to decide how to distribute them.
She put them into the storage pouch she carried and turned to glance at Yang Wanqing.
Yang Wanqing was still holding the Capital Heavenly Thunder Halberd, admiring it
