Chapter 639 - 739: Returning to the Taichu Sect
Upon hearing Tianchu Zhenren's words, everyone was suddenly taken aback.
Indeed, Nephew Tianfan's Fu Yuan is truly explosively strong. A war is about to break out, and at this very moment, the Demonic Qi on the Mysterious Dragon Seal has been cleared. Moreover, during the time Ye Tianfan was under restriction, when it needed to be lifted, the Mysterious Dragon Seal just happened to be usable. It's simply like he's the chosen one!
Tianchu Zhenren was now even more certain that letting Ye Tianfan become the Sect Leader of the Taichu Sect would be a wise decision.
Tianchu Zhenren smiled at this moment and then fell silent, sitting there quietly.
But everyone knew why he was smiling, because that was his disciple, the one he fought so hard for back then, against everyone else, to make Ye Tianfan his disciple.
In fact, aside from Tianchu Zhenren, everyone else was full of regret. If they had been more determined at the time, perhaps Ye Tianfan would have become their disciple by now.
But regret was useless, as there's no regret medicine for sale in the world. No matter how much one regrets, it's of no use. The only consolation for everyone was that fortunately, Ye Tianfan was a disciple of the Taichu Sect. Had he been born near the Gate of Benevolence or the Celestial Fragrance Sect or the Dali Sect, then several decades later, the title of the number one righteous sect would surely have belonged to them. And as long as Ye Tianfan existed, the title of the number one sect in the world would never be outdated.
If Ye Tianfan in the future taught a disciple as powerful as himself, then it could last thousands of years, and by that time, it would be hopeless for them to catch up.
But there are no 'ifs' because Ye Tianfan is right here in the Taichu Sect! Whatever else is said is useless!
"By the way, it's not right for Nephew Tianfan to always be at the Gate of Benevolence. Who knows when the war will start, we can't possibly let him stay there until it begins? What if the war doesn't start for another five years, does Nephew Tianfan have to stay there that long?" Yuan Chu Zhenren said!
"Hmph, I think you're not worried about Tianfan, you're worried about the Mysterious Dragon Seal, aren't you?" Tianchu Zhenren snorted coldly.
"Hey now, don't say it like that. Where there's Nephew Tianfan, there's the Mysterious Dragon Seal. Don't you agree? So caring is definitely caring about Nephew Tianfan. As long as Nephew Tianfan is okay, the Mysterious Dragon Seal won't escape. Think about it, isn't that the way it is?" Yuan Chu Zhenren said with a smile!
"Hmph, I don't want to talk to you." Tianchu Zhenren replied.
"Junior Brother Yuan Chu is right, Nephew Tianfan staying over there isn't great, but since he's just arrived, I'll talk with Fu Yuan in a half month or a month to let Nephew Tianfan return. After all, we all know why he left, so if Nephew Tianfan wants to join the fight by then, let him join! It's nothing major, just looking after him a bit. Gaining more experience won't hurt." Tianchu Zhenren summed up.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded, suddenly feeling that maybe the seed disciple plan was a bit flawed. But if they didn't leave behind some seed disciples, what if there's another gap in succession, they truly wouldn't have time to wait for another batch of disciples to grow.
Meanwhile, Ye Tianfan, rushing all the way, finally arrived at the mountain gate of the Taichu Sect after five days.
The gatekeeper disciples all recognized Ye Tianfan, given his prominence in the Nine Vessels Martial Gathering and his involvement in several major events, they couldn't not recognize him. So they didn't stop Ye Tianfan.
Yet, as Ye Tianfan took a step into the gate at the foot of the Taichu Sect's mountain, he hesitated a bit, pondering if Senior Brother Yu Shan's reasoning was wrong? What if when he was breaking the restriction, his master was too busy to pay attention to him?
Ye Tianfan took a deep breath, having returned already, why hesitate? If he gets restricted again, he'll just think of another way. Anyway, with the Mysterious Dragon Seal, or just taking his time slowly, he can't believe he won't be able to wear down a restriction given enough time.
After stepping into the Taichu Sect's mountain gate, Ye Tianfan didn't fly up immediately, but walked step by step up the mountain. He had never taken this stone staircase before, always flying directly to the plaza of Taichu Peak, so he hadn't seen the sights from the foot of the mountain to the top.
Moreover, Taichu Peak was the only peak of the Taichu Sect connected to the ground, thus Ye Tianfan wanted to appreciate the landscape here.
Also, the two gatekeeper disciples down below were there to prevent wild beasts or ordinary people from sneaking in. After all, with the mountain-guarding formation active, a slight misstep upon entry might get someone shot dead outright, so their presence was to prevent accidental intrusions.
Yet despite this, many people still tried to get in, given the Taichu Sect's grand reputation, many came from all over the world to seek apprenticeship, but they couldn't possibly let people in every day. Though they were quite pitiful, having traveled such distances, rules were rules.
However, to prevent them from making a pointless trip, every January 1st, the Taichu Sect held an opening day for accepting disciples. By then, you only needed to test for innate talent and temperament, pass these, and congratulations, you'd become a part of the Taichu Sect; fail, and sorry, you'll have to return from whence you came.
Hopping and skipping along the stone steps, Ye Tianfan had covered half of them within an hour.
With strength far exceeding that of ordinary people, climbing these stone stairs was very easy for Ye Tianfan, and he was very quick.
By the time Ye Tianfan reached the plaza of Taichu Peak, it was already evening.
Just in time to have a meal at Taichu Peak, then to visit his master. After all, he had to face his master eventually, lest he fights and gets restricted again, only to be sent back to Taichu Sect, which wasn't impossible.
So Ye Tianfan decided not to avoid it, and directly meet with his master, to see whether what Senior Brother Yu Shan said was true.
"Nephew Tianfan went to eat, he's indeed persistent, walking all the way from the foot of the mountain without expending any Spiritual Power, and making us wait so long! And his first action upon arrival was to eat!" Taichu Zhenren "saw" Ye Tianfan's actions and couldn't help but chuckle.
"What? This disciple who broke my personally set restriction and fled, upon returning, the first thing he does isn't to pay respects to me, but to eat?"
