Chapter 280 Sect Master's Hall
It turned out that it wasn't Cheng Jiu's imagination.
Cheng Jiu cautiously stepped into the somewhat gloomy sect leader's hall.
On previous visits, the sect leader, always with a beaming smile, sat at the head of the table, waiting to receive the arriving disciples.
At this time, the main hall of the ancestral temple had already been removed from its function of receiving guests.
Stacks of scrolls and jade slips were piled up on the table.
Pu Yi entered Cheng Jiu's place but found no one there.
An inexplicable emptiness.
Cheng Jiu swallowed hard. "Um, is anyone here?"
The mountain of scrolls mixed with jade slips swayed slightly. A pale hand wrapped in a sky-blue sleeve emerged first, followed by an extremely dejected and pale face with lifeless eyes staring at Cheng Jiu.
A ghostly resentment, Senior Brother Nan!
"Ah, Grandmaster Uncle Cheng Jiu!"
What an ordinary, emotionless voice.
Tell me, what exactly happened to you during these three months that I haven't seen you, Senior Brother Nan?
Cheng Jiu privately thought that, given the time speed of the several worlds that Zheng'er and he had experienced, she should have changed the most!
But now, it's clear that she's the only one who's changed!
"Senior Brother Nan, are you alright?"
"Haha!" Nan Xingze let out a few short, ambiguous laughs, his lifeless eyes fixed on Cheng Jiu, and calmly said, "Not dead!"
Cheng Jiu gave a short laugh, feeling a strange chill run down his spine. "No need to say anything, Senior Brother Nan, I know you're not doing well."
Nan Xingze rubbed his face and took a deep breath: "Junior Grandmaster, is there something you need to see Master about?"
"That's right, I heard from the senior brothers on patrol that those at the Nascent Soul stage need to register!"
"It's for registration!" Nan Xingze pushed aside the small mountain of scrolls, seemingly searching for something, and explained, "My master is not here, and he has entrusted all the affairs of the sect to me. I'm here to help you register."
Nan Xingze rummaged through the small hill for a while, then paused slightly. His sluggish mind worked for a moment. Wait, what registration?
Register as a deity!
No one knows Cheng Jiu's age and cultivation level better than Nan Xingze, after all, in a way, he watched Cheng Jiu grow up!
It had the greatest impact on him!
Nascent Soul stage!
So you've already reached the Nascent Soul stage?
He broke through to the Nascent Soul stage just by going out for a training trip?
He had only recently broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, and his mind was in turmoil, leaving him unsure of what to do.
The junior grandmaster whom he had watched grow up had quietly reached the same level as him, and was even about to surpass him!
Nan Xingze felt a pang of bitterness in his heart, just like the disciples on patrol outside who had heard about Cheng Jiu's cultivation level. He inexplicably felt that all these years of his life had been wasted!
He mechanically picked up the familiar jade slip, but when he turned around, his face was calm, and he did not show the turbulent emotions in his heart: "This is it. Wait a moment, Grandmaster Uncle, you just need to drip your blood and sign your name on the jade slip with your divine sense!"
"Okay, thank you, senior brother!" Cheng Jiu took it, dripped his blood first, and then used his divine sense to write his name on the jade slip.
The moment the name is signed, blood merges into it, and the golden name shines brightly on the jade slip.
Besides here, in the sect leader's martial arts arena, two words slowly appeared on a jade stone that radiated golden light.
"Another senior brother and sister has broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm!"
The disciples in the training ground looked enviously at the jade stone that radiated golden light. Only those at the Nascent Soul stage could register it, which was a testament to the sect's strength and foundation.
Only the five major sects possess such an extravagant and arrogant piece of jade!
As for other forces acquiring such a piece of jade, they probably wouldn't even be able to fill in enough names; a mere handful would only invite ridicule.
"Senior Sister Cheng Jiu?! Does anyone know her? Which peak is she from?" Some curious disciples crowded around to take a look.
"Never heard of it!"
"Idiot, isn't Immortal Lord Qingxu's disciple named Cheng Jiu?"
"A disciple of an immortal lord? How old is she?!"
"My good brother is on a mission today, right? He just messaged me saying he personally witnessed Immortal Lord Qingxu's disciple break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. I thought he was joking! I didn't expect it to be true!"
"Haha! Eighteen years old! Eighteen years old! The pride of our sect! Who else can compare?"
Sometimes the gap is so big that you don't even feel jealous!
This news spread like an earthquake, first within a small circle within the sect, then throughout the entire sect. With the five major sects in contact, the news spread even further.
The fact that he reached the Nascent Soul stage at the age of eighteen is truly astonishing!
Unlike the sects, which were in an uproar over the news, the sect leader's hall remained remarkably calm. In fact, there were only two people there, completely calm!
"Congratulations, Grandmaster Uncle! You have encountered a great opportunity! I wish you a smooth path to immortality, unstoppable progress, and ascension to the upper realm!" Nan Xingze offered his sincere blessings!
"Senior brother, you're too kind!" Cheng Jiu was flattered by the praise. "I also brought back some sword cultivation jade slips and body cultivation techniques from my recent training! Senior brother, would you like to take a look?"
Nan Xingze's eyes flashed with joy and anticipation. He hadn't expected that his grandmaster would gain something else from this training. The jade slip that his junior sister had taken a liking to must be of extraordinary quality.
Such jade slips are extremely rare even among the five major sects; they represent the foundation of a sect!
When Nan Xingze saw Cheng Jiu pulling out more and more jade slips, his smile faltered: "So many?"
"Yes! These are just sword cultivation techniques!" Cheng Jiu nodded and explained.
Nan Xingze took a deep breath and rushed over to stop him: "Junior Grandmaster Uncle, don't take it out again! Take it out later, take it out later!"
I never expected that my junior grandmaster would have such a rich harvest. It's not that no one has stumbled upon great opportunities before.
Even the ancestors of the five major sects in the Upper Realm were aware of the need to collect cultivation techniques from the outside world and introduce them to the Xuan Tian Continent.
The history of the rise of the Xuan Tian Continent is very clear. From the very beginning, the direction of breakthrough in this world was not cultivation of immortality, but divine beasts!
It can be said that almost all the cultivation techniques on the Xuantian Continent were introduced from the outside world. For a long time, the Xuantian Continent was a low-lying area for cultivation!
The upper realm intends to support the cultivation forces of the Xuan Tian Continent, but it will hardly provide them with good cultivation techniques. This kind of support is more like control than support!
It wasn't until several exceptionally talented predecessors emerged, using their own talent and hard work to comprehend even higher-quality techniques, that this abnormal monopoly was broken.
That's when the once-powerful families declined.
Although the current mainstream in the cultivation world is to create one's own sword techniques, every famous sword cultivator has their own set of self-created sword moves.
However, this does not mean that there is no shortage of martial arts techniques or sword moves. It is just a matter of necessity. There are only a few powerful martial arts techniques available.
Very few sword techniques and skills like these have been passed down. They were almost all created based on one's own talent and ability, making them extremely difficult to pass down.
Not everyone can be as gifted as Cheng Jiu, and also have a suitable mentor.
Just look at Immortal Lord Qianli and you'll know that even though it's a cultivation technique with some side effects, the other party still cultivates it. This is because the quality of this technique is very high, and if you want to go further, you can choose another technique.
Leaving aside the issue of inheritance in the Xuan Tian Continent, just considering the fact that those ancestors searched for cultivation techniques in the Upper Realm, it was no easy task. Some people would even provide the inheritance resources of their own world to others for free.
Asking for exorbitant prices and then haggling on the spot is a common occurrence. Unlike Junior Sister Cheng Jiu, who practically unearthed the entire depth of other people's worlds!
With such global power, how could their world possibly act so recklessly?
Therefore, in Nan Xingze's eyes, Cheng Jiu's act of taking out so many jade slips could be summed up in four words: unbelievable!
Looking at the pile of jade slips that were almost ready for him to review, and the cultivation technique jade slips fused together, Nan Xingze's face looked even more miserable!
Regardless!
We absolutely cannot let Grandmaster Cheng Jiu take out all the jade slips in the sect master's hall!
Otherwise, after Grandmaster Cheng Jiu leaves, all of these will definitely be assigned to his tasks!
The thought of this made Nan Xingze inwardly vehemently refuse! Luckily, he stopped it in time, otherwise these sect affairs scrolls and cultivation technique jade slips would have been mixed together!
Even more hellish!
"Grandmaster Uncle, please quickly put these jade slips away. I'll take you to the library!"
"it is good!"
Cheng Jiu nodded, then looked at the scrolls and jade slips behind him, which seemed somewhat unstable due to being pulled apart, and said with a slight hesitation, "Senior Brother Nan!"
"what's wrong?"
"That thing behind you looks like it's about to collapse!"
