[Reward: Two Immortal King Summoning Cards!] [Reward: One Chaos Realm!] [Reward: One War God Palace!] [Reward: One Emperor Grade Cultivation Method, "Supreme Immortal-Subduing Instruction"!] [Reward: One thousand-zhang underground Spirit Vein!] [Reward: One Emperor Grade sect-protecting formation, "Zhou Tian Star Grand Formation"!]
After he successfully accepted a disciple, the system immediately displayed a whole string of reward notifications. Ye Chen had never expected so many good things!
"A disciple with Emperor Grade aptitude really is different. Even the rewards are more plentiful than for a disciple with Immortal Grade aptitude!"
Emperor Grade aptitude was the highest grade, with Immortal Grade below it.
As someone born with a supreme-grade Fire Spirit Root, Mu Yan had Immortal Grade aptitude. Only later, with Ye Chen's help, had he advanced to the Emperor Grade "Flame Spirit Saint Physique"!
Thus, the rewards had still been issued according to Immortal Grade aptitude.
But Gu Yingluo was different!
She had genuine Emperor Grade aptitude, possessing an undeveloped Supreme Immortal Physique.
"Mu Yan, you bargain-bin thing. Sigh! You're not worth as much as your little wife!"
Even the look Ye Chen gave Mu Yan carried a hint of resentment.
Mu Yan's heart skipped a beat. He had no idea why his master was looking at him that way.
Had he made another mistake?
"Yingluo, from today onward, you are my second direct disciple. Mu Yan is your eldest senior brother."
Ye Chen spoke with a smile.
"Hehe! Senior Brother Mu Yan, I'll be your junior sister from now on. You have to protect me and teach me properly!"
Gu Yingluo playfully made a face at Mu Yan.
Mu Yan was delighted too. The young couple had both taken the same master, so no one would interfere with their relationship anymore.
"Yingluo, this is the Cultivation Method I am granting you. It will benefit you."
As he spoke, Ye Chen tossed a ball of light into Gu Yingluo's hands.
Before Gu Yingluo could even examine the ball of light she had received, she sensed an immensely powerful force surging within it.
Yet this force was gentle toward her. It would not harm her; instead, it felt very close to her!
Having experienced this once before, Mu Yan swallowed, seemingly already aware of what grade this Cultivation Method was.
Could anything their master bestowed possibly be cheap?
The ball of light dispersed on its own, revealing a scroll.
The words "Supreme Immortal-Subduing Instruction" were written on the scroll's surface. Just looking at those words, she felt an indescribable dominance rush straight at her!
It could subdue even immortals. Wasn't that fierce enough?
The two small words, "Emperor grade," marked at the end shocked Gu Yingluo even more!
She hurriedly covered her little mouth, but even then, she could not hold back a startled cry. Her large, watery eyes nearly popped out.
"An Emperor Grade Cultivation Method! Am I dreaming? This is an Emperor Grade Cultivation Method?"
Gu Yingluo blinked hard several times. Reality told her that this truly was an Emperor Grade Cultivation Method, not an illusion.
Immense shock, delight, and excitement instantly filled her heart!
She was currently practicing a King Grade Cultivation Method from the Gold and Jade Sect. To others, a King Grade Cultivation Method was already extremely high-end.
After all, for a small lineage like the Mu Household, never mind a King Grade Cultivation Method—having even a single Mystic Grade Cultivation Method would be good enough.
As for an Emperor Grade Cultivation Method?
She had not even dared to dream of one!
If this "Supreme Immortal-Subduing Instruction" were released into the outside world, it would surely stir up a bloody storm that swept across the entire Eastern Victorious Continent.
Yet her master had casually tossed it to her as though throwing away trash?
"Thank you for your gift, Master!"
Gu Yingluo's voice trembled.
Beside her, Mu Yan chuckled smugly and said, as though showing off, "Yingluo... oh, no, Junior Sister. Your senior brother's Cultivation Method is actually emperor grade too!"
"What? Yours is emperor grade too?"
Gu Yingluo was both shocked and delighted, and her gratitude toward Ye Chen deepened further.
The young couple's destinies had been rewritten!
As Mu Yan's father, Mu Lei could not possibly feel no envy upon seeing his son and future daughter-in-law both possess Emperor Grade Cultivation Methods.
But he also knew that he was not a disciple of Kunlun Holy Land. How could he possibly receive the same treatment?
For him, being able to remain in Kunlun Holy Land to live and cultivate was already the best arrangement!
"Before you practice this Cultivation Method, I will fully awaken your physique's potential. That way, your cultivation will advance a thousand miles a day!"
As Ye Chen spoke, he pointed a finger toward Gu Yingluo, and an invisible force acted upon her.
Countless Great Dao Principles manifested, then poured into her body!
With Ye Chen's help, Gu Yingluo's Supreme Immortal Physique began to unlock. Countless patterns of white light appeared across her body, and all her meridians were completely opened!
Her complete Supreme Immortal Physique had taken shape. The surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged madly into her like a rushing river.
Such a terrifying cultivation speed stunned everyone!
Even Mu Yan was shocked!
In terms of cultivation speed alone, even his Flame Spirit Saint Physique was not this terrifying!
Just what sort of physique did Yingluo have?
At that moment, Gu Yingluo felt, to her amazement, that she was different from before. The cultivation problems that had plagued her were now completely clear to her.
Moreover, even without deliberately cultivating, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi joyfully entered her body.
Even if she stood still, her cultivation progressed faster than when she had cultivated diligently at the Gold and Jade Sect!
"So this is my true potential?"
Gu Yingluo was utterly delighted.
"Mu Yan, take them to their quarters. Don't forget to go to the Subduing Dragon Mountain Range tomorrow for the gathering of geniuses," Ye Chen reminded him before disappearing.
He appeared beneath the Dao Comprehension Tea Tree on the rear mountain and began taking stock of the rewards he had just received.
"Two Immortal King Summoning Cards! Summon!"
Ye Chen used them immediately.
Immortal Kings were supreme powerhouses second only to Immortal Emperors.
With two Immortal Kings arriving at once, they could absolutely walk unhindered throughout the Desolate Immortal Great World.
Once those two Immortal Kings made a move, even holy lands with legacies spanning millions or tens of millions of years would have to prepare for battle in full force. Otherwise, they would surely suffer wounds down to their very bones!
Soon, space twisted, and two figures exuding powerful presences appeared before Ye Chen.
They were two middle-aged men, both at the peak of the Immortal King realm!
As long as no Immortal Emperor appeared, a peak Immortal King was invincible!
"Greetings, Sect Master. My name is Heilong!"
"Reporting to the Sect Master, I am Bailong!"
The two respectfully cupped their hands.
"Good. Guard the sect."
Ye Chen nodded and sent them away.
The second reward was the Chaos Realm!
What was a Chaos Realm?
In fact, it was a small world still gestating, transforming, and evolving. Such a world was in its most primordial state, and its countless Great Dao Principles were also at their clearest.
Entering the Chaos Realm to observe its world's evolution and comprehend the changes in various Principles would bring immense benefits to one's cultivation!
Never mind ordinary people-even Immortal Emperors craved such an opportunity, hard to find across the ages!
Just as when Ye Chen had merged with the Primordial Hongmeng Physique last time, he had triggered all manner of terrifying phenomena deep within the starry sky, and countless Dao Principles had manifested.
Many Immortal Lords, Immortal Kings, and Immortal Emperors had been alerted. They had all observed the evolution of its rules, deepening their own cultivation insights.
Many powerhouses had benefited greatly from it!
"Manifest!"
Ye Chen placed it as well.
Soon, a sphere ten thousand zhang across, resembling a black hole, floated above Kunlun Holy Land.
This was the Chaos Realm. By entering it, one could comprehend the evolution of various Principles.
The third reward was a War God Palace!
The War God Palace's function was simple: those who entered could fight themselves, or fight all sorts of configured powerhouses.
No matter how severe their injuries, none would carry over into reality.
Even dying within the War God Palace would merely cause them to exit it, leaving their actual bodies completely unharmed.
For disciples who loved fighting, the War God Palace was the eternal GOAT!
The fourth reward was a thousand-zhang underground Spirit Vein!
The purpose of a Spirit Vein needed no explanation. Wherever there was a Spirit Vein, cultivators would gather in droves and even establish sects.
And the value of a thousand-zhang Spirit Vein was beyond words!
With a wave of his hand, Ye Chen buried the Spirit Vein deep underground, where it would constantly nourish Kunlun Holy Land with Spiritual Qi.
At that instant, the Spiritual Qi within Kunlun Holy Land abruptly doubled at the very least, and it was still slowly increasing.
The final reward was the Emperor Grade sect-protecting formation, the Zhou Tian Star Grand Formation!
This formation could defend as well as attack. Even if an Immortal Emperor attacked, they would find it very difficult to breach the Zhou Tian Star Grand Formation.
"Deploy!"
With a grand wave of his hand, Ye Chen set up the formation, covering all of Kunlun Holy Land. Looking up, one could occasionally see pinpricks of starlight flash into view.
Little did anyone know that this was the sturdiest, and also the most dangerous, sect-protecting formation!
Kunlun Holy Land might have few people, but its sense of security was absolutely maxed out!
The next day, Ye Chen manifested a Dao body outside the main hall.
Today was the day the secret treasure in the Subduing Dragon Mountain Range would emerge, and Ye Chen was quite looking forward to it.
Ideally, he could bring back a few more disciples with Emperor Grade aptitude to strengthen the sect!
