Chapter 1391: Apprenticeship Ceremony
Why? Why? Those two little brats are only so big, how come they can be accepted as disciples by a Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarch, yet she can’t even get into Xuantian Sect as an Outer Disciple?
She knew she had three spiritual roots; getting into the Outer Sect was absolutely no problem.
Chen Xiaorui was seething with resentment. She just felt that the reason those two little brats could catch the eye of a Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarch was definitely because Senior Brother pulled some strings.
Why couldn’t he help her? She was in such a difficult situation now.
Right now she was desperate to see Senior Brother, but she didn’t have his Sound Transmission Talisman, so how was she supposed to find him?
She wanted him to help her get into Xuantian Sect too; that way her cultivation would go much more smoothly.
She would never go to a small sect again. In her previous life it was precisely because the sect was small that they were the first to be used as cannon fodder.
She left the workshop in a daze, silently praying over and over for Senior Brother to come.
Today was the day of the Disciple Acceptance Grand Ceremony, and Xuantian Sect was filled with festive joy.
Tan Shaoting and Su Yuanyuan, as the parents, were qualified to stand up there and receive everyone’s congratulations.
Their vestment robes were all provided by the sect, exquisitely made and high-grade, the kind that could withstand a full-force strike from a Late-stage Golden Core cultivator.
The two of them were already extremely good-looking to begin with, and now that they were wearing High-level Magic Robes, they drew even more attention from everyone present.
Su Yuanyuan didn’t like this. Cultivators all had Divine Sense, and although no one would do something as rude as sweeping others with Divine Sense in this setting, it still made her feel very uncomfortable.
Down below, a Steward was chanting out names; the guest hall of Xuantian Sect was not a place ordinary people could enter right now.
Once everyone had arrived, Huaian Daoist led the two brothers out.
Qi Hao and Qi Xuan saw their parents and broke into broad grins. They hadn’t seen their parents in a full month, and they missed them terribly.
Su Yuanyuan’s face remained expressionless, but her eyes were full of smiles. Seeing that the two little ones were doing quite well, and that they were already cultivators at Qi Refining Second Level, she knew they had now truly stepped into the path of Cultivation.
Tan Shaoting felt rather uncomfortable in his heart seeing his two sons being led by someone else. Those were his sons.
Zhu Huai’en did not walk fast. He accepted everyone’s gaze; in truth he didn’t like this. Back then, his Mahayana Realm master had also held his hand like this, walking slowly as they accepted the stares of everyone present.
In his heart he was proud; his two little disciples were just too outstanding, far stronger than he had been.
He knew what Spirit Roots the two children had. Although they were just Dual Spirit Roots, how many truly pure Dual Spirit Roots could there be?
Their parents had been extremely diligent, constantly nurturing their Spirit Roots and meridians. Once they began cultivating, they immediately experienced the benefits.
The two children reached Qi Refining Second Level in a single night; this was the result of long accumulation bursting forth in a single moment.
Moreover, the two disciples had touched upon Arrays and talismans in their cultivation. Even the most tedious basic knowledge like the Spirit Plant Encyclopedia had been fully mastered.
After observing for a while, he discovered the two had photographic memories.
He was truly grateful to their parents for teaching his two disciples so well.
His Divine Sense focused on his disciples’ parents; the two of them standing together were a perfect match made in heaven, no wonder they could give birth to such excellent children.
Qi Hao and Qi Xuan were rather disappointed not to see their older sister.
"What’s wrong?"
"Master, where is my sister? I haven’t seen my sister in so long."
"She should appear in a little while. Tonight you can go reunite with your family, but you must come back tomorrow to continue cultivating."
"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master." The two little ones smiled sweetly as they flattered him.
Zhu Huai’en genuinely liked these two disciples, though he didn’t know why; it was a kind of fondness that came straight from the heart. This must be fate, the bond of master and disciple.
They finally stood at the highest point, and the congratulatory shouts from below shook the heavens.
"Nervous?" Zhu Huai’en asked.
"Master, we’re not nervous." The two replied in unison; this was the tacit understanding of twins.
Yu Huping, Sect Master of Xuantian Sect, personally read out the congratulatory address, thinking to himself that this senior had finally taken disciples.
Originally there was supposed to be a Spirit Testing segment today, but Zhu Huai’en had canceled it. He didn’t want his disciples’ details to be guessed at by others.
After the congratulatory address ended, Qi Hao and Qi Xuan knelt before Zhu Huai’en. "Disciple Tan Qihao—"
"Disciple Tan Qixuan pays respects to Master."
"From now on, we two will strictly follow Master’s teachings, carry forward the spirit of our Xuantian Sect, and work hard at cultivation."
Zhu Huai’en bent down and helped his two disciples up.
"Good. From now on you are your Master’s children. Remember, you must not bring shame to Xuantian Sect. And also remember, you are my Zhu Huai’en’s Closed-door Disciples. In this entire realm, no matter what happens to you, your Master and the sect will always be behind you."
All the cultivators below felt rather helpless. Everyone knew masters tended to be protective of their disciples, but no one had ever stated it so righteously and openly on such an occasion.
"Yes, Master."
The cultivators below once again congratulated Huaian Daoist. From now on these two little ancestors could not be offended. Once they went back, they must warn the juniors in their families: if they ran into these two, just avoid them—it wasn’t shameful.
After all, this was the man who had once wiped out a great family clan overnight; otherwise, the Nangong Family wouldn’t be the sole dominant force in the Fanxing Realm. If you couldn’t provoke them, you could at least hide from them.
Next, Qi Hao and Qi Xuan walked up to Tan Shaoting and Su Yuanyuan and respectfully knelt down.
"Father, Mother, from now on your children will follow Master to cultivate. You don’t need to worry about us. We will definitely work hard, and absolutely will not bring shame to the sect, to Master, or to our parents."
After speaking, the two knocked their heads on the ground three times in succession.
The couple stepped forward and helped the two children up.
"Good. Your mother and I only hope that the two of you can be happy. Don’t put too much pressure on yourselves."
"Yes, Father."
Su Yuanyuan held Qi Xuan’s hand. "Now that you two are leaving home, you must behave yourselves in front of your Master, and be filial to him."
"Yes, Mother."
"We will strictly follow Father and Mother’s instructions."
The couple led the two children over to stand before Zhu Huai’en and gave a deep bow. "Old Ancestor, we entrust these two mischievous children to you. Please look after them from now on."
"They’re my children as well. Don’t worry."
The couple bowed once more.
With that, the two ceremonies of the disciple-acceptance grand ritual were considered complete. The couple stood behind the trio of master and disciples, receiving the congratulations of all the disciples.
Zhu Huai’en led his two disciples down to receive congratulations from the other sects. Each sect presented two congratulatory gifts; after all, a Divinity Transformation Ancestor had taken in two disciples at once.
Qi Hao and Qi Xuan did not show the slightest stage fright. They smiled as they accepted each gift and thanked the givers.
Not everyone was qualified to present gifts. In their hearts, everyone marveled at the aura these two children carried. Sometimes having good Spirit Roots did not guarantee you would make it to the end; there were many with Single Spirit Roots and Abnormal Spirit Roots, but not many with such presence as these two.
