After searching through the jade slip, the elder nodded and said, “Very good. There’s no problem. Let’s go back and report to the Sect Master. This child can be a Core Disciple of the Forbidden Path Sect.”
The elder made this decision because of the jade slip. The jade slip was put in there by the elder, which was also the most important place in the Heart Refining Road. After the person undergoing the test could no longer hold on and falls, the memories that the strange energy pulled out from them would appear in the jade slip. This was also the method the Forbidden Path Sect used to get the secrets of their disciples.
In the jade slip were the memories that were taken from Zhao Hai. Naturally, these weren’t Zhao Hai’s real memories. The memories were crafted by Zhao Hai using the golden spiritual force.
However, the elder didn’t now this. The Heart Refining Road operated for many years without fail. Therefore, it was natural to think that Zhao Hai’s memories were real. The elders fully believed that Zhao Hai was a prime candidate for the sect’s care.
What satisfied the Elder was Zhao Hai’s Demon Subjugation Method that was included in the memories. With this, the Forbidden Path Sect would have one more body cultivation method.
A large sect like the Forbidden Path Sect is very active when collecting all kinds of cultivation methods. With how many disciples they have, they don’t know if they have the right cultivation method for the disciple. If they accept a genius disciple but don’t have a compatible cultivation method for them, then that would be disastrous for the sect. In the end, that disciple would end up like the other average disciples, which would be a great loss for the sect.
Naturally, sects give generous rewards to disciples who hand over unique cultivation methods. Because of this, disciples of the Forbidden Path Sect would go look for cultivation methods and send them back to the sect in exchange for rewards.
Of course, this was voluntary for the disciples. The Forbidden Path Sect would never force disciples to hand over their cultivation methods. Otherwise, nobody would want to join the Forbidden Path Sect.
The reason why the Demon Subjugation Method was included in the jade slip was because Zhao Hai wanted the sect to have it. Then he would receive a reward from the sect.
Zhao Hai asked Zhou Feng and was told that there are two kinds of rewards that the sect would give if you hand over a cultivation method. The first kind of reward had something to do with the level of the cultivation method that was handed over. The sect would let you choose two cultivation methods or techniques of the same level. Trading one copy for two was a good trade.
The second kind of reward was being rewarded with jade essence, pills, or artifacts. One could also exchange for resources that they could use. Naturally, the amount depends on the level of the cultivation method. In any case, the sect would not treat you unjustly.
Zhao Hai was interested in the first kind of reward. He wanted to use the Demon Subjugation Method to exchange for the God Elephant Body Technique that Zhou Feng uses.
After talking with Zhou Feng over several days, Zhao Hai knew that the God Elephant Body Technique practices the strength of the Divine Elephant. After minor mastery of the technique, one could absorb it to be part of their strength. Then the practitioner would slowly refine it, allowing their body to become stronger and stronger.
Upon hearing Zhou Feng explain the cultivation method, Zhao Hai thought that it was suitable for him. He had just absorbed the spiritual qi in the Valley of the Divine Elephant. If he used the God Elephant method to absorb the spiritual qi of the dead Crazed Elephants, his strength would undergo a significant transformation. At the same time, he wouldn’t waste the spiritual qi that he absorbed.
Of course, this didn’t mean that Zhao Hai was uninterested in the Forbidden Path Sect’s Evil Buddha Lotus Technique. In fact, the Evil Buddha Lotus Technique was also suitable for him. This was because Zhao Hai practices the 18 Buddhist Techniques. The Buddhist qi in his body was quite substantial. With the Evil Buddha Lotus Technique being a buddhist technique, Zhao Hai’s body was quite compatible with it.
In the Heart Refining Road’s jade slip, Zhao Hai wrote that after entering Gale Canyon, he came upon the Crazed Elephants’ spiritual qi. Naturally, he underplayed how much qi he absorbed. He said that he only absorbed a part of the spiritual qi. And that spiritual qi was enough to boost him from the Soul Fusion Stage to the Earth Monarch Stage.
Zhao Hai believed that the Forbidden Path Sect wouldn’t prevent him from studying the God Elephant Method. Moreover, once he becomes a Core Disciple, he would also study the Evil Buddha Lotus Technique.
Zhao Hai was aware of his own situation. His body is very strong. Moreover, he has the Space. After acquiring the two techniques, he can have the Universal Scanner fuse them into something that Zhao Hai can use. Only then can he digest all of the extra qi inside his body.
Seeing the three elders in the summit leave, Wan Feng immediately knew the result. If Zhao Hai failed the test, the elders would have ordered to have him killed. Seeing that the elders left instead, Wan Feng took out a pill and fed it into Zhao Hai’s mouth.
When the pill touched his mouth, Zhao Hai felt a warm feeling coursing through his body, especially in his mind. The feeling was nourishing and very comfortable. Zhao Hai thought that he could now wake up. He slowly opened his eyes and looked around as if at a loss. Then he looked at Wan Feng, Elder Guo, and then Zhou Feng. He immediately sobered up and gave the two Elders a salute, though his tone was quite sad, “I have seen Elder Wan and Elder Guo.”
Seeing Zhao Hai’s expression, Wan Feng smiled and said, “Good job. Reaching the ninth stage at your first time isn’t easy. In two days, you will receive your identity token. Use this time to rest and recover.”
Zhao Hai pretended to be surprised, “I arrived at the ninth stage? Are you sure? Why can’t I recall going through the stages?”
Wan Feng chuckled, “That’s fine. As long as you know that you have passed the inspection. You back and rest.” Zhao Hai nodded. Then Elder Guo and Elder Wan promptly left.
When the two elders left, Zhou Feng excitedly ran over and said, “Brother, you really are something. You actually reached the ninth stage in your first time on the Heart Refining Road. This is outstanding. Rest assured, your status in the Tyrant Blade Sect wouldn’t be bad. Believe me. Later on, I’ll have to ask you to cover for me.” ʀΑＮŎ𐌱Ès
Zhou Feng heard Wan Feng saying that if Zhao Hai reached the fifth stage, he would become an inner disciple. If he reaches the seventh stage, he would become a true disciple. And if he reached the ninth stage, he would become a core disciple. With Zhao Hai almost reaching the tenth stage, it would be hard if he didn’t become a core disciple.
Zhao Hai didn’t know this, so he was confused at what Zhou Feng said, “Really? Brother Zhou, what did you hear? Quickly tell me.”
Zhou Feng laughed and said, “Brother, just wait for two days. We can’t control what the sect decides to do. Even if I tell you now, it might not be the case two days later. But I’m sure that you will at least become an Inner Disciple.”
Zhao Hai raised his brow, “As long as I become an Inner Disciple, that’s alright by me. Hahaha. Good, good. Let’s go. Brother, let’s share a few cups.”
Zhou Feng laughed and said, “It’s a good day. Let’s drink a lot! Let’s go.” Then Zhao Hai and Zhou Feng left the Heart Refining Road.
At this time, the three elders at the summit of the Heart Refining Road arrived at the Main Hall of the Forbidden Path Sect. This is also where the Sect Master of the Forbidden Path Sect resides, the Evil Buddha Hall.
The Evil Buddha Hall was built enormously, looking like a temple from a distance. Outside the Hall was a statue of an old monk wearing monk robes. The old man held a bead chain in his hand. Each bead is as large as a longan. On his other hand was a seal. The old man’s face was kind, but his eyes revealed a murderous aura. The statue had the feeling of a mixture between a Buddha and a demon.
This person was the founding ancestor of the Forbidden Path Sect, the Flowerless Monk. After the Flowerless monk died in meditation, his descendants used his image to carve the statue. One shouldn’t underestimate the statue. It was made from the highest level of demonic stone. The stone was made with demon qi. And with the sect offering incense on it every year, the statue had a strong amount of demonic qi. It wasn’t worse than artifacts.
The Merit Transferring Elder led the Zhou Family Elder and the Long Family Elder to bow towards the statue. Then they entered the Evil Buddha Hall. The interior of the Evil Buddha Hall was very simple. It was filled with praying mats on the ground. At the very front was a cultivator wearing black monk’s robe. He was sitting on a prayer mat holding a bead chain made of bones. He was performing prayers with his eyes closed.
This person was the current Sect Master of the Forbidden Path Sect, Monk Shi. Although he was called a monk, he had a wife and children. The ‘monk’ was merely part of his name.
The bone chain Monk Shi was holding was the famous artifact of the Flowerless Monk, the White Bone Chain. It was said that the Flowerless Monk used the skulls of more than 10 Condensing Spirit Stage Experts to make the bead chain. The bead chain held considerable energy. It accompanied the Flowerless Monk in fighting the world and establishing his reputation. In the True Spirit Realm, the White Bone Chain was the identity token of the Forbidden Path Sect’s Master. Each Sect Master of the Forbidden Path Sect used the White Bone Chain as their personal artifact.
When the three elders entered the Evil Buddha Hall, they cupped their fist and said, “We have seen the Sect Master.”
Monk Shi slowly opened his eyes. His face had a kind look, but his eyes showed murderous intent, just like the Flowerless Monk statue. This was also the result of cultivating the Evil Buddha Lotus Technique.
Monk Shi nodded and said, “You’re back, how is it?”
The Merit Transferring Elder handed the jade slip over to Monk Shi and smiled, “Sect Master, we have obtained a treasure this time. The child’s potential is huge. He can be a Core Disciple for key training.”
