Ji Ning becomes an apprentice
Inside the Fengdu Imperial Garden, numerous True God Dao Ancestor sat in attendance.
As one of the few leader-level powerhouses in Nuwa Faction, Zhou Qing's enlightenment ceremony was naturally taken very seriously, with almost all the True God Dao Ancestor from the human race, the Daoist Sect sect, the Buddhist Sangha, and other forces present.
Even those powerful beings who were unable to come in person due to being stationed in their respective regions sent out their magical and Divine Power Avatar.
Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on becoming a powerful leader!
"Fellow Daoist Taixu, please!"
"Haha, congratulations, junior brother."
Immediately, many influential figures raised their glasses to congratulate Zhou Qing.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing also raised his glass in response.
But at the same time, he was also doing something else: Heartforce to investigate which True God Dao Ancestor were being controlled by the Elder Yuan.
In fact, Zhou Qing had already planned this when he convened the meeting of the Hall of Myriad Clans.
However, he was concerned that his Heartforce was only at the fourth level, and he feared that he would not only be unable to detect the abnormalities of the powerful figures in Nuwa Faction, but would also alert them.
Therefore, Zhou Qing had to suppress this idea.
But now that his Heartforce has reached the fifth level, using Heartforce to investigate should be foolproof.
It was with this in mind that Zhou Qing went along with the flow and let the Daoist Sect prepare his enlightenment ceremony.
Given Zhou Qing's status as a leader-level powerhouse, even if the powerhouses in Nuwa Faction had heavy responsibilities, they would inevitably send their avatars to participate in his enlightenment ceremony.
With his fifth-level Heartforce and Heartforce investigative techniques inherited from it, he was able to detect the anomalies of even powerful beings who only sent avatars.

After examining the area with his Heartforce, Zhou Qing secretly made a plan.
Besides those explicitly mentioned in the original work as being controlled by the Elder Yuan, he also discovered more than sixty powerful figures from Nuwa Faction who were in unusual states.
If we add the Seamless Gate Faction to that, this Elder Yuan probably controls more than a hundred True God Dao Ancestor.
The final battle between Nuwa Faction and the Seamless Gate will take place within the next thousand years.
Thinking of this, Zhou Qing's expression became serious.
Before that, he had to find a way to free these controlled powerful beings from the control of the Elder Yuan.
Although strictly speaking, he, like the Elder Yuan, is also a so-called Chaos Alien Race, he has developed ties with the Three Realms over the years.
Zhou Qing always kept in mind the kindness of his two masters, the Daoist Sanqing and the Patriarch Bodhi.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, he will still try his best to save the powerful Nuwa Faction who are controlled by the Elder Yuan.
As the powerful figures raised their glasses in toasts, they also commented on the immortals and demons participating in the selection of Zhou Qing's disciples.
"My disciple, among so many people, who do you value most?"
At this moment, the Daoist Sanqing asked Zhou Qing a question.
"It's that kid Ji Ning, of course."
As he spoke, Zhou Qing appeared relaxed.
" Ji Ning?" The Daoist Sanqing nodded. "To have mastered the Sword Dao in less than a hundred years of cultivation is truly an unparalleled genius."
"But I think he might be the reincarnator from your Infinite World."
"That's exactly right." Zhou Qing nodded with a smile.
Although the Infinite World has only been open for less than a hundred years, most of the powerful beings in the Three Realms know that Zhou Qing is the person behind it.
This is quite normal, given the level of mastery of the Path of Time and Space revealed by the Infinite World; only Zhou Qing and Patriarch Bodhi in the entire Three Realms could achieve this.
Given Patriarch Bodhi's temperament, he would obviously not act in this way, so it's not difficult to guess that Zhou Qing is the person behind it all.
It was precisely because they knew the background of the Infinite World that the reincarnators did not face much targeting when they went to complete their missions.
Otherwise, given the arrogant behavior of reincarnators in various worlds, they would have been crushed by the lords of those great worlds long ago.
"It seems you've had your eye on Ji Ning for a long time, and this apprenticeship was prepared specifically for him."
Hearing Zhou Qing say this, the Daoist Sanqing felt relieved.
"Haha, actually I did want to take Ji Ning as my disciple before, but seeing that Taixu had already taken a liking to him, I gave up on the idea."
Hearing Zhou Qing's conversation with the Daoist Sanqing, Patriarch Bodhi also came over.
However, when he said this, Patriarch Bodhi did not seem to regret it too much.
Since Zhou Qing was also his disciple, Ji Ning, having been accepted into his lineage, could also be considered a member of his faction.
Hearing this, Zhou Qing smiled and drank the celestial wine in his hand.
He could tell that Patriarch Bodhi was truly satisfied with Ji Ning.
This is normal. After decades of honing his skills in the Infinite World, Ji Ning displayed his unparalleled talent much earlier than in the original story.
Given Ji Ning's abilities, any True God Dao Ancestor in the Three Realms would want to take him under their wing.
In the original novel, when Patriarch Bodhi accepted Ji Ning as his disciple, it was mainly because Ji Ning had received the inheritance from his friend, Daoist Sanshou.
Meanwhile, in the Time and Space created by Zhou Qing, the final arena battle was underway.
The two combatants were a young man in white and a cold-looking middle-aged man.
The young man in white, needless to say, possessed unparalleled swordsmanship; he was none other than Ji Ning.
The aloof middle-aged man was none other than Celestial Immortal Wind from the Heaven Realm who had been mentioned by the Heavenly Emperor earlier.
This Celestial Immortal Fenglian possesses an extraordinary skill in controlling the wind, clearly having mastered the Great Grand Dao of Xun Wind.
Therefore, when these two come together, it's truly a fierce battle.
However, in the final moments of the battle, Ji Ning emerged slightly stronger and defeated Celestial Immortal Fenglian.
You won!
Before being teleported away, Celestial Immortal Fenglian said something unwillingly.
"Thank you for your kind offer."
Although he had defeated his opponent, Ji Ning still solemnly returned the greeting with a cupped-hand salute.
After their battle, Ji Ning still held the Celestial Immortal Fenglian in high esteem.
In terms of their insights into the Dao, this Celestial Immortal Fenglian was almost identical to himself.
Ji Ning was able to defeat him because his golden core was of higher quality and his magical power was stronger.
"Congratulations on becoming the first place winner of the arena competition."
At that moment, the cold voice rang in Ji Ning's ears again.
Then, a dizzying sensation followed, and he disappeared from the arena.
In the blink of an eye, Ji Ning arrived inside a huge palace.
Inside this magnificent palace, hundreds of people were raising their glasses and conversing.
These people were either elderly, children, or young people, but they all exuded a terrifying aura.
Upon seeing Ji Ning, all these terrifying beings turned their gazes toward him.
"This----"
Seeing this, Ji Ning couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Having already mastered the Great Dao, he didn't consider these people before him to be Empyrean God True Immortal.
Then there's only one possibility: these seated beings are all True God Dao Ancestor!
Thinking of this, Ji Ning immediately stopped moving.
"Fellow Daoists, please don't frighten my disciple."
At this moment, Zhou Qing smiled and came to Ji Ning's rescue.
"Haha, Fellow Taixu, we are simply a little curious about Ji Ning."
" Ji Ning is such a prodigy, we should congratulate Fellow Taixu on taking in such a fine disciple."
Congratulations, Fellow Taixu!
In an instant, many powerful figures from Nuwa Faction raised their glasses to Zhou Qing.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing also raised his glass in return.
This True God Taixu seems to be no ordinary True God Dao Ancestor.
Seeing this, Ji Ning was secretly surprised.
" Ji Ning, come here right now."
Zhou Qing smiled as he looked at Ji Ning, who was standing there dumbfounded.
Upon hearing this, Ji Ning immediately walked up to Zhou Qing.
Would you be willing to become my disciple?
Zhou Qing didn't say much, but asked directly.
" Ji Ning greets Master."
Upon hearing Zhou Qing's question, Ji Ning did not hesitate and immediately kowtowed in greeting.
