"Disciple... disciple humbly begs Master to allow disciple to accompany you?"
As he spoke, Chen Xin, seemingly afraid of being rejected, continued, "This disciple is well aware of my low cultivation level and would never dare to have any improper thoughts, much less approach the forbidden area, but..."
"I simply want to witness firsthand the supreme majesty of the Heavenly Court conquering the Life Forbidden Zone, to feel the aura of that level, in order to broaden my horizons and hone my swordsmanship."
This request was somewhat unexpected by Ling Jue.
He looked at Chen Xin and saw that the other's eyes were clear and his attitude was sincere, showing that he was indeed single-mindedly pursuing the Dao and eager to learn.
After a moment's hesitation, he did not immediately refuse.
In theory, it is not impossible to bring a newly initiated disciple to observe the ceremony.
This observation trip will not take us deep into the Primordial Ancient Mine, nor will it even approach the mysterious and ominous outer fog area of the mine. Instead, it will take us to a relatively safe observation area further away, jointly established by some major religious holy sites and Desolate Ancient Family.
There are protective formations there, the distance is far enough, and many senior experts are present, so safety should be assured.
The main purpose is to let the younger generation experience the power and prestige of top-tier forces and witness truly grand scenes...
Understanding the vastness of the world and the abundance of powerful beings inspires one to cultivate oneself.
Although Chen Xin is a beginner, he is calm and has exceptional talent. Taking him to see the world might really help him "see the world, see all living beings, and then see his own heart," which would greatly benefit his future growth in swordsmanship.
Moreover, given his status as a personal disciple, it was in accordance with the rules to have him by his side to observe the ceremony.
Having made up his mind, Ling Jue showed no sign of it on his face, and simply asked slowly, "You want to attend the ceremony?"
"Yes, disciple humbly requests." Chen Xin lowered his posture even further.
Ling Jue silent for a moment, seemingly weighing his options, before finally nodding. "Very well."
"Since you yearn for it so much, I will take you there with me."
"Let me show you firsthand what the vast power of the heavens is, what supreme conquest is. This will certainly benefit your cultivation and understanding."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xin was overjoyed and immediately bowed in gratitude. "Thank you for your kindness, Master!"
"Don't thank me yet."
Ling Jue raised his hand in a gesture of support, his tone turning serious, "I can take you there, but you must remember a few things."
"First, this trip is solely for observation. Stay within the designated safe area and absolutely do not stray even a step. Furthermore, do not entertain any thought of approaching the Primordial Ancient Mine, not even a thought!"
"Secondly, in all actions, you must closely follow your teacher; you must not act independently or cause trouble."
Third, observe more, listen more, think more, speak less, and refrain from making unwarranted comments.
"That place is a melting pot of various forces, a mixed bag. Your cultivation is still shallow, so being cautious in your words and actions is of paramount importance."
"Is it possible?"
"Disciple will obey Master's orders! I would never dare to disobey!" Chen Xin replied solemnly.
He knew full well how rare such an opportunity was, and he also understood the importance of it.
Seeing Chen Xin's upright attitude, Ling Jue's expression softened slightly, and he added, "Don't have too high expectations either."
"What I meant by 'attending the ceremony' is actually extremely far from the real battlefield, separated by an endlessly dangerous forbidden zone."
"We can only observe from afar within the outermost safe zone, relying on magical artifacts or spiritual vision. What we see and hear is merely the tip of the iceberg; we may only perceive the overwhelming might of heaven, making it difficult to discern the specifics of the battle."
"Furthermore, the Primordial Ancient Mine is shrouded in mystery and fraught with unpredictable variables. No one can foresee the outcome of the Heavenly Court Court's campaign."
"We went there more to experience the atmosphere and witness a major event of our time."
You need to be mentally prepared.
"Disciple understands."
Chen Xin nodded, his eyes still bright. "To be able to sense such a level of turbulence from tens of thousands of miles away is already an immense opportunity for me. I dare not ask for anything more."
"Yes, that's good."
Ling Jue was quite satisfied with his answer; the child was sensible and knew how to behave.
"Go back and prepare, solidify your understanding of the basics of the sword technique, and gather at the mountain gate at dawn three months from now."
"Yes, Master! This disciple takes his leave!"
Suppressing his excitement, Chen Xin bowed again and then respectfully withdrew from the Ten Thousand Swords Hall.
Watching Chen Xin's departing figure, Elder Chi Xiao laughed and said, "Sect Master, this lad certainly has some guts and a big heart."
"I just learned how dangerous the restricted area was, and now I'm already thinking about going to witness the ceremony."
Ling Jue smiled calmly, "A newborn calf not being afraid of a tiger is not necessarily a bad thing."
"Swordsmanship training requires both sharpness and insight. Letting him see just how high the real 'sky' truly is will be good."
As he spoke, he looked out at the sea of clouds outside the palace, as if he had traversed endless space and seen the Primordial Ancient Mine shrouded in mist and legend in the distance.
"May this campaign by the Heavenly Court proceed smoothly..."
Douluo Continent.
The news that Chen Xin would be accompanying his master to the Primordial Ancient Mine to witness the Heavenly Court's conquest of the forbidden zone spread to every corner of the Douluo Continent.
Spirit Hall.
"Conquering... the forbidden zone..."
Bibi Dong gazed at the Heavenly Screen and whispered, " Chen Xin will witness firsthand how the pinnacle of power in that world collides with the 'forbidden'."
A deep, mysterious light burned within her purple eyes.
"I want to see it! I absolutely have to see it!"
"Look at the 'heavenly might' of the Heavenly Court, what form does it take? Look at that so-called 'forbidden zone,' how 'dangerous' is it? Compared to the trials of divine inheritance, compared to the whispers of the Rakshasa Divine Sense, which is more bizarre?"
"This will be the best ruler."
She turned around, shadows falling over half her face.
"To measure the distance between us and the 'heavens beyond the heavens,' and also to measure... what kind of abyss, or... ladder, we will have to face in the future."
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Gu Rong dismissed all his disciples and sat alone on the blue stone where Chen Xin often practiced his sword.
He didn't look at the Heavenly Screen, but instead looked down at his own hands, with their distinct joints, which had clashed countless times with the Seven Kill Sword.
" Old Chen..." he grinned, "You're going to watch... the gods fighting?"
He closed his eyes, as if he could see through the endless void his dearest friend and nemesis standing on the edge of the safe zone, his clothes fluttering in the distant wind and thunder.
At the Core Circle the Star Dou Great Forest, at the Lake of Life.
In Di Tian's golden dragon eyes, the distorted light of the sky above the lake, filtered through layers of water ripples, was reflected.
"Conquering the forbidden zone..."
A deep, resonant dragon's roar echoed from the bottom of the lake, carrying with it an ancient sense of vicissitude and a hint of barely perceptible apprehension.
"In another world, humanity's power has dared to wield its sword against the 'forbidden zone'..."
" Xiong Jun, Myriad Demon King," he transmitted telepathically.
"Yes, my lord," two powerful auras responded immediately.
"At that time, all Ferocious Beast shall cease all activity and watch with me."
"I need to know about the clash between the so-called ' Heavenly Court ' and the so-called 'Forbidden Zone'."
"Perhaps this is the glimmer of hope we've been waiting for for millions of years..."
