The nine-orifice exquisite sword heart, a supreme Dao body!
Those words landed among the crowd like a bomb, setting off a tremendous uproar. The elders all hurried over to Chu Kuangren.
"It really is the nine-orifice exquisite sword heart! This is wonderful."
"Hahaha, Heaven has blessed our Mystic Heaven Sect!"
"With this supreme Dao body, the Mystic Heaven Sect can contend for this era's Emperor Position!"
"Among the three thousand physiques, the nine-orifice exquisite sword heart ranks in the top ten. It is a supreme physique of the Sword Dao, and our Mystic Heaven Sect established itself in the world through the Sword Dao. Hahaha, if this isn't Heaven's will, what is?!"
"Though this boy is an outer disciple, he has now awakened a supreme Dao body. We must devote our resources to nurturing him. Why not make him a True Disciple?"
"How could True Disciple be enough? He must be named a Daoist Seed!"
"Our Mystic Heaven Sect's nine Daoist Seeds will have another joining their ranks."
Looking at the elders surrounding him, as happy as children, Chu Kuangren felt a little pleased. As expected, revealing his physique had been the right move. It could secure him the best resources.
Just then, Sword Mountain in the distance suddenly trembled.
As though summoned, the swords circling in the sky all flew back.
The few Sage Artifacts reluctantly circled Chu Kuangren several times, but ultimately streaked toward Sword Mountain as well.
Chu Kuangren froze for a moment.
Hey, don't go.
At least leave me one.
Coming and going as you please-are you playing with me?
Just a moment ago, you acted as though you would accept no one but me, and now you've changed.
Hmph. Scumbag swords.
"The Sect Master activated Sword Mountain and recalled the swords."
The white-browed elder spoke.
"Bring this boy to see me."
A deep, resonant middle-aged voice came from afar.
The white-browed elder smiled at Chu Kuangren. "Come with me."
"Yes, Elder."
With a flick of the white-browed elder's sleeve, an invisible force enveloped Chu Kuangren, and he rose into the air despite himself.
The elders took Chu Kuangren with them, turning into a streak of light that swept into the distance. Before long, they arrived inside a magnificent hall.
A middle-aged man in white robes stood inside the hall.
The man had handsome, refined features and graying temples, with the bearing of an immortal sage. He was the current Sect Master of the Mystic Heaven Sect... Venerable Xuanqi.
"Greetings, Sect Master."
The elders stepped forward and bowed.
Venerable Xuanqi nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Chu Kuangren. He looked him up and down, a peculiar gleam appearing in his eyes.
"What a supreme Dao body. Your presence is truly striking."
"You flatter me, Sect Master."
"Heh, there is no need for modesty. I wish to take you as my disciple. From this day onward, you would be the Mystic Heaven Sect's Chief Disciple. Would you be willing?"
At this, not only was Chu Kuangren somewhat surprised, but the other disciples were also astonished. They had not expected the Sect Master to value Chu Kuangren so highly.
He had actually offered him the position of Chief Disciple outright!
But on further thought, it made sense.
This was the first supreme Dao body in the Mystic Heaven Sect's history.
"Your disciple pays his respects, Master."
Chu Kuangren immediately bowed.
He had no reason to refuse. Originally, he had thought it would be good enough to land himself a Daoist Seed position. He had never expected Venerable Xuanqi to be so generous, directly making him everyone's eldest senior brother. He would be a fool to turn down such a good thing.
"Good! Good!"
Venerable Xuanqi laughed heartily, delighted.
With a supreme Dao body as his disciple, once Chu Kuangren matured, he too would share in the glory. If Chu Kuangren became a Great Emperor, he would be an emperor's teacher. Throughout the ages, how many had enjoyed such an honor?
"Starting tomorrow, you will cultivate under my guidance."
"Yes."
After becoming Venerable Xuanqi's disciple, Chu Kuangren's treatment soared. He moved straight from his small courtyard into a grand Dao Palace and even had several personal maids to attend to him.
The next day.
Chu Kuangren awoke on a soft, large bed. Opening his eyes, he looked around the spacious room. "I wasn't dreaming. It looks like I really have transmigrated."
He got up and called for the Fantasy Roulette in his mind.
"Let's start today's draw."
Light shimmered in his vision, and a huge wheel appeared.
Just then, a knock sounded at the door.
"Come in," Chu Kuangren said calmly.
A slender, graceful young woman with red lips and white teeth entered carrying a basin of water. "Young Master, it is time to wash up."
The young woman glanced at Chu Kuangren, blushing slightly. She was also an outer disciple of the Mystic Heaven Sect and had been selected yesterday to attend to him.
She had no objections to this.
After all, Chu Kuangren was no longer who he used to be. He was now the Sect Master's personal disciple and the Mystic Heaven Sect's Chief Disciple, with a position even higher than the Daoist Seeds.
For her, following Chu Kuangren was no different from ascending to the heavens in a single step.
Not to mention how handsome Young Master Chu is.
The young woman thought to herself.
"What is your name?" Chu Kuangren asked.
"My name is Liu Bing."
"Liu Bing... Then I'll call you Xiao Bing from now on."
"Whatever you like, Young Master."
Chu Kuangren could confirm that Xiao Bing had not seen the Fantasy Roulette. It seemed no one but him could see this wheel.
He silently commanded it to draw, and the wheel began to spin.
Congratulations, host. You have drawn a Black Iron-grade elixir: Spirit-Gathering Pill.
A Spirit-Gathering Pill?
And Black Iron-grade at that?
The corners of Chu Kuangren's mouth twitched twice.
Compared with yesterday's lucky ten draws, this Spirit-Gathering Pill was hardly worth mentioning. As he was now, he could have as many as he wanted.
Forget it. It's just a matter of probability.
Leaving the Spirit-Gathering Pill in the roulette space for the time being, Chu Kuangren washed his face and changed into a brand-new set of clothes.
"You look truly handsome in those clothes, Young Master."
Looking at Chu Kuangren, Xiao Bing could not help revealing her amazement.
He wore a jade crown and white, wide-sleeved robes embroidered with a qilin pattern in gold thread, with tassels hanging at his waist and tall black boots on his feet.
Together with his ethereal, otherworldly bearing, Chu Kuangren looked no different from an exiled immortal. Xiao Bing could not find any words to describe him.
"Not bad." Chu Kuangren smiled in satisfaction.
After tidying his appearance, Chu Kuangren went to find Venerable Xuanqi.
Mystic Heaven Sect, Longevity Hall.
Venerable Xuanqi sat on a meditation cushion.
Chu Kuangren arrived and bowed slightly. "Greetings, Master."
"Mm, you're here. Sit."
Venerable Xuanqi pointed to the meditation cushion beside him. Once Chu Kuangren was seated, he continued, "Kuangren, you were previously an outer disciple and could only study the Mystic Heaven Sect's basic arts. Now, as our esteemed Chief Disciple, you are qualified to study Sage Laws. Our Mystic Heaven Sect has three great Sage Laws...
"The Purple Star Emperor Heaven Sword Art allows you to cultivate supremely domineering Sword Qi.
"The Primal Chaos Golden Light Art grants ceaseless spiritual power once mastered, as well as golden light that protects the body against all arts, combining offense and defense.
"Then there is the Nine Suns Divine Art. Its spiritual power is fierce and domineering. Upon reaching major accomplishment, it can manifest the phenomenon of nine suns sharing the sky and draw upon the power of the sun.
"Which of these three would you like to learn?"
"I would like to learn the Purple Star Emperor Heaven Sword Art."
Chu Kuangren made his choice with almost no hesitation.
He possessed the nine-orifice exquisite sword heart, with unparalleled talent in the Sword Dao. There was no need to forsake what lay close at hand and seek far afield by studying other arts.
Of the three great Sage Laws, the Purple Star Emperor Heaven Sword Art suited him best.
"Mm, your choice is just as I expected."
Venerable Xuanqi nodded, then took out a jade slip and handed it to Chu Kuangren. "The Purple Star Emperor Heaven Sword Art is recorded within this. How much you can comprehend depends entirely on your fortune. If there is anything you do not understand during cultivation, feel free to come to me."
"Yes, Master." Chu Kuangren accepted the jade slip.
