Chapter 742: Competitive (I)
Huyan Dong stood amid the cold, mighty gusts of wind blowing past Holy Mountain. He said with slight surprise, "You actually managed to move the Noble Dharma. How did you do it?"
"Sincerity," answered the slender boy, Chu Yi.
Hearing that, Huyan Dong couldn't help but remark, "For someone so young, you sure say a lot of crap."
On the Holy Mountain, Huyan Dong had the Noble Dharma's protection. That meant his safety was no longer under Chu Yi's control, so his courage naturally grew.
Without Huyan Dong's connection to the Noble Dharma, it would have been difficult for Chu Yi to meet the Noble Dharma in the first place, so Chu Yi did not bother responding to his provocation.
Chu Yi simply smiled and said, "I can't share the details with you. You only need to know that the Noble Dharma has taken me as his disciple. He wants me to train on the Holy Mountain for ten years before I may leave."
Huyan Dong nodded.
Of course, he knew that it was extraordinary to have the Noble Dharma's support.
The Noble Dharma was the oldest living human cultivator. He did not wield a legendary artifact, yet he still received the utmost respect from the Divine Nine immortal sects, which spoke volumes.
Even if he had no way of advancing to the eighth-and-a-half realm, the Realm of the Heavenly Origin Terminator, the Noble Dharma was undeniably one of the most powerful eighth-realm Eminent Ones.
Although the Noble Dharma had seemingly remained hidden from the world for years, he still maintained absolute control over two sects in the Terrestrial Ten. The proof was in how the imperial court had bestowed the Monastery Tower, one of the Terrestrial Ten, with the title of "Nation Guard" precisely because of its ties to the Holy Mountain.
