Chapter 123: Accepting Disciples

no guidance before. She purely relied on her own efforts to break into the top ten hunters and enter Tianyan Palace. Her talent is also exceptionally high, second only to Xia Mang and Duan Yunfeng.By...In an open-air tavern, Su Xin, the Daoist Master Jiuzhen, and Ge Meng were drinking and chatting together.

In the conversation, Jin Su also knew that the Nine Stars Dao Master had already been absorbed into the core layer and was a real five-step Nirvana Realm powerhouse!

While Ge Mon's strength was slightly weaker than that of Jiu Chen Dao, being only at the peak of the Fourth Step, he was just one step away from qualifying for entry into the core layer.

"Su Xin, after you were brought to Mount Jiusheng, you should have gone to the Celestial Stele to test your talent potential. What was the result What level of genius are you" Jiucheng Daozhu asked.

According to the Azure Patrol Envoy, it should be a true dragon-level Su Xin Dao.

"True Dragon Level" Nine Stars Patriarch was taken aback.

Geralt also widened his eyes, then burst out laughing. "Haha! I knew it, you kid's talent is so high, it's bound to be amazing. When you went to challenge the Dragon Tower, I saw it at a glance, Nine Stars, tell me, how about my eyesight"

"Hmph, back when that kid entered the Tianyan Palace, I advised you to take him as your disciple. You refused then, but now you regret it, don't you"

Upon hearing this, the Master of Jiucheng couldn't help but smile wryly.

Ge Mon had indeed hinted at taking Su Xin as his disciple. However, after his direct disciple was killed, he vowed never to take on another disciple for the rest of his life.

Even though he later saw Su Xin's limitless potential and incredible swordsmanship talent, he still only gave Su Xin some help or guidance and never truly took him on as a disciple.

Now that Su Xin's Heavenly Dragon-level talent has been revealed, even if he wanted to hide it, he couldn't.

A true dragon-level genius, in the Nine Saints Mountain's inheritance for tens of thousands of years, there haven't been a few. Now one has appeared in the contemporary era. Many old masters from the Nine Saints Mountain would probably be startled. Here, it's estimated that things will soon become heated up. Nine Star Dao Master said.

"Get fired up" Su Xin wondered.

Nine Star Dao Master, however, sold out a tease and did not continue speaking.

The three continued to drink and chat happily.

Not long after, whoosh!

A figure appeared out of thin air in this open square.

This is a man in white robes, barefoot. He has a kind smile on his face and the moment he appears, an aura of unparalleled transcendence emanates from him.

He walked step by step in the direction of Su Xin, and the many Nirvana Realm powerhouses gathered in the square were naturally attracted by this transcendent aura.

> As expected.

Jiuxin Daozhu and Ge Meng both hurriedly put down their wine cups and stood up.

"Greetings, Ice Peak Master!" Ninth Star Lord and Ge Meng both bowed respectfully.

Su Xin also stood up and followed suit.

"You, are you Su Xin" The man in white robes looked at Su Xin gently.

Su Xin looked up and met the gaze of the man in white.

In an instant, Su Xin only felt that everything around him...houses, the earth, and all the powerful people on the plaza, had vanished. The entire world was left with only the existence of the white-robed man.

He stood there, like a giant sun, dazzling, kind, and heartwarming. Su Xin was captivated for a long time.

After a moment, Su Xin awoke suddenly.

"This... is a transcendent powerhouse" Su Xin was shocked.

Just one glance, and my mind was completely captivated, unable to escape.

If these two were to clash, the opponent wouldn't even need to make a move themselves. Just a single glance would be enough to obliterate him countless times over.

Transcendents, they transcend the heavens and earth, even their lifespans reaching two thousand years. Such inconceivable power...

"Su Xin, meet Elder Bingfeng. Su Xin took a deep breath and bowed again."

"Young one, I hear you are skilled with the sword" the man in white said gently.

"Su Xin nodded.

"

"I have a sword here, take a good look at it

"

Having finished speaking, the man in white robes drew his finger like a sword and slashed through the empty space beside him.

A very casual sword thrust, in the eyes of Jiuchendao Lord, Ge Meng, and the many Nirvana Realm experts gathered around, this was just an ordinary, casual sword thrust. They couldn't see any subtlety or mystery in it. But in Su Xin's eyes... BOOM!!

That was a terrifying sword shadow, sharp enough to cleave through any obstacle in its path.

The sword shadow flashed out, and everything in front of it was shattered to pieces. Even the heavens and the earth seemed like paper under this sword strike, ruthlessly torn and cut apart.

Unstoppable, unbeatable!

Su Xin's eyes were filled with shock.

This sword... it's too terrifying.

So terrifying that he once felt how insignificant he was, and how immature and inadequate his swordsmanship.

This sword strike encompasses myriad possibilities, akin to the three hundred and eighty-one essences of sword intent, likely all contained within it.

Whew~ Sword shadow dissipates.

"How are you feeling" the man in white looked over again.

"Incredible!" Su Xin blurted out.

This is his most genuine feeling.

"Will you accept me as your master and become the sixth disciple under my tutelage" said the man in white.

"The nine-starred Daoist Master, who stood honestly beside him, exchanged glances with Gaemon. They had long since guessed the purpose of this white-robed man's arrival."

"Become a disciple" Su Xin was startled, his brows involuntarily knitting together.

To be honest, the white-robed man's sword just now truly shocked him, even making him feel a conflict wanting to become his disciple.

However, since he had just arrived at Jiusheng Mountain and didn't know much about it, even if he wanted to become a disciple, he couldn't be too hasty. He still needed to think carefully.

As if seeing Su Xin's thoughts, the man in white smiled and said: "Don't worry, you can consider it slowly. There is a token here. If you decide to accept me as your master, take this token and go to the Third Sacred Mountain to find me.

The man in white robe handed a talisman to Su Xin, then turned and left.

"This is it then"

Su Xin held the decree, watching the white-robed man's receding figure, his expression strange.

What then

The Nine Star Sect Master beside walked forward with a smile and said, "An extraordinary expert like you, what kind of identity do you have To personally come and accept you as his disciple, and even specially display his swordsmanship to you, is already very good. Naturally, he wouldn't force you.

"

And you were detected as a True Dragon-level genius on the Celestial Monument. A genius of this level, within the Nine Saints Mountain, is someone who gets to choose their transcendent masters, not the other way around.

“Yes, Transcendent Powerhouses are high and mighty. If your detected talent is only average or 'Silver' level, these Transcendent Powerhouses probably won't care about you too much. But as long as you reach the Dragon Potential level, you will be eligible to be taken as a disciple by a Transcendent Powerhouse, and even more so, a direct disciple.”

As for the True Dragon level, even someone like Ge'mon, who could make Transcendent experts vie to be his disciples, smiled.

"Come on, Su Xin, let's just sit here and wait. Some Transcendent powerhouses should arrive at the Nine Stars Dao Master soon."

"Any more" Su Xin raised her eyebrows.

Of course, within the Nine Holy Mountains, there are countless powerful individuals, and there are also many who have transcended. Many of these transcendence-level experts are the leaders of their respective factions. To develop, expand their own factions, and increase their influence within the Nine Holy Mountains, they must constantly attract and gather powerful individuals.

When it comes to aligning with powerful individuals, there's nothing more reliable than the master-disciple relationship. Take that Ice Peak expert just now, for example. He has already taken in five direct disciples, and his registered disciples number in the dozens.

"Just his disciples are a formidable force, and coupled with the numerous strong cultivators in his sect, this results in his sect having significant influence within the Nine Saints Mountain," said Daoist Jiucheng.

"The competition between the major factions on Jiusheng Mountain is so intense" Su Xin was surprised.

“He is very powerful, and there's no way to avoid the Ninth Star Dao Lord continuing: “Jiusheng Mountain, although one of the seventeen top forces in the Dong荒 region, has many strong people. However, because it shares the Qingxuan domain with the Heavenly Palace, the two forces have been fighting for thousands of years, resulting in not many resources under their control.

"The strong prevail, resources are scarce, so naturally there is competition!"

Su Xin understood.

And as expected, just as the Nine Stars Dao Master had said, shortly after the Ice Peak Lord left, ~~ a thick, azure glow flashed, and another transcendent powerhouse arrived.

"Su Xin, are you willing to become a personal disciple under my command"

……

Half an hour later.

Under the gaze of many Nirvana Realm experts, another transcendent powerhouse departed.

"Another one, this is the sixth, isn't it"

"Well, this is the sixth Transcendent being who has arrived. They're all here to take Su Xin as their disciple, and they're all direct disciples."

"There's nothing we can do about it. Su Xin is a true dragon-level genius. A genius of this caliber, as long as they don't meet an untimely end, has a very high probability of transcending in the future."

On the plaza, many Nirvana Realm powerhouses gathered in twos and threes, all secretly sighing and marveling.

Over this half hour, as one after another Transcendent powerhouses arrived, the news of Su Xin being a True Dragon-level genius spread across the square. Seeing these Transcendent powerhouses, who were usually high and mighty, personally coming to accept Su Xin as their disciple, these Nirvana Realm cultivators naturally felt envious and jealous.

"This is the sixth Transcendent powerhouse already, Su Xin. You are quite sought after indeed," Ge Mon said with a smile.

Su Xin also smiled.

"Don't worry, it's only been half an hour. Other Transcendent powerhouses should arrive soon. Don't feel rushed to reply. Take a few days to consider and learn more about these Transcendent powerhouses before deciding which one to become your master, Daoist Nine Heavens."

"Hmm, Su Xindao nodded."

He knew very well that he was just a fledgling in the Void Realm, and the road ahead was still unimaginably long. At this time, if there was a transcendent powerhouse who could offer guidance or instruction, it would definitely be far better than cultivating blindly on his own.

Therefore, finding a master is definitely necessary, but choosing the right one requires careful consideration.

At that moment…

"Huh"

Su Xin's eyebrows suddenly furrowed.

He was sitting in this open-air tavern, already the center of attention. Many Nirvana Realm cultivators in the square would occasionally glance at him. He had long since gotten used to it and didn't mind.

However, most of the gazes directed at him were filled with envy or admiration. But now, he sensed a distinct gaze laced with hostility and malice.

Su Xin followed his gaze and immediately saw a white-haired, gloomy old man in another tavern next door.

"It's him!"

Su Xin's eyes also became cold.

He had two enemies on Mount Jiusheng. One was Liu Chong, a powerful figure his father had warned him to be extremely careful of.

And the other, was this white-haired, gloomy old man with a hateful look in his eyes staring at him.

The patriarch of the Situ family, Situ Feng!!!

……ank may not be high, he is after all appointed by the imperial court, the highest administrative officer in a county, representing the face of the Tianyan Empire.Publicly broke into the county magistr...
