Chapter 42 - Has This Guy Gone to Restock? The Great Palace Master’s Shock!
Chapter 42 Has This Guy Gone to Restock? The Great Palace Master’s Shock!
Even the Supreme has been killed.
“Lin Chen, Su Xiaorou, Tong One, Tong Two, I will first take you to see the Great Palace Master.”
Chu Tian waved his sleeve, and a sword appeared out of thin air, quickly enlarging and hovering in the air.
“Get on, Shengmo Mountain is vast, it would still take some time to walk.”
Flying on a sword!
In Lin Chen and the others’ eyes shone eagerness. This was much cooler than just flying directly. They had thought many times that once they broke through to the Judan Realm and could fly, they would definitely use a sword as their transportation. Because that would be way cooler.
With the five of them, Chu Tian stood at the front tip of the giant sword, pointed with his finger. The giant sword immediately soared, drawing a beautiful arc and flying toward Shengmo Palace.
Shengmo Palace, as the main peak of Shengmo Mountain, was the tallest and largest among the seven peaks. The sect’s ancestral ground lay deep behind Shengmo Palace.
The ancestral tomb was even deeper within the ancestral ground, protected by a special hidden formation. Ordinary people, even if standing at the entrance of the ancestral tomb, couldn’t see its existence.
This was the biggest secret of Shengmo Mountain. Only the Great Palace Masters of past generations were qualified to enter the ancestral tomb.
…
At this moment, the Great Palace Master had just finished handling sect affairs. He was leisurely sitting in the main hall of Shengmo Palace, sipping tea.
“Great Palace Master, senior uncle, haven’t seen you for half a year, your strength has grown even deeper.”
Chu Tian led the five towards the main hall, smiling as he spoke. The Great Palace Master’s information was clear at a glance.

“Whoa!”
“This woman has broken through again.”
Chu Tian clicked his tongue in amazement.
The Great Palace Master, Duan Mu Yan, outwardly appeared to be at the 9th Layer of the Tianyan Realm. Before Chu Tian left, her true realm was the 3rd Layer of the Wenda Realm.
Now, she had broken through to mid Wenda Realm. It seemed the sect would soon change the Great Palace Master.
Great Palace Master senior uncle should now take up residence in the ancestral ground.
“So it’s you.”
“Why, you’ve been out wandering for almost half a year, and about recruiting disciples, have you heard?”
The Great Palace Master lightly smelled her tea, glanced at Chu Tian, and leisurely smiled.
Chu Tian took a seat beside the Great Palace Master and said, “Senior uncle Great Palace Master, what do you think of these kids?”
He pointed at Lin Chen and the other five.
“Oh?”
The Grand Palace Master looked at Lin Chen and the others with curiosity, his gaze sharp and penetrating. He could tell at a glance that these kids seemed to possess extraordinary talents. But what kind of talent exactly, he would have to personally examine to be sure.
He asked, “Are these five all disciples you recently accepted?”
Chu Tian chuckled, “Uncle Grand Palace Master, you know me — I don’t like to go out much, nor do I want to get entangled in too many karmic ties, so I wouldn’t take on that many disciples.”
“This one here is my second disciple, Xuan Qing.”
Chu Tian pointed to Xuan Qing.
Xuan Qing immediately bowed and greeted, “Greetings, Grand Uncle Grand Palace Master.”
“Hm.”
The Grand Palace Master smiled and nodded, then asked, “Can you tell me what grade of talent you have, disciple?”
Xuan Qing replied calmly, “I’m inexperienced and unlearned, but I’m considered a low-grade Saint-level talent.”
“Hm… indeed not outstanding…”
“Hm?”
The Grand Palace Master put down his teacup, stood up, and looked at Xuan Qing in surprise. “What did you say your talent grade was?”
“Disciple is a low-grade Saint-level talent.”
The Grand Palace Master widened his eyes, then happily approached and patted Xuan Qing’s shoulder, laughing loudly.
“Good, good, our Saint-Demon Mountain has a bright future!”
“First was Shi Hao, now there’s you — our Saint-Demon Mountain already has two disciples with Saint-level talents publicly recognized.”
The Grand Palace Master then looked at Chu Tian and said, “You lucky bastard, to have two disciples both with Saint-level talents.”
“Pure coincidence.”
Chu Tian smiled slightly.
The Grand Palace Master shook his head with a wry smile, then looked at Lin Chen and the other four, asking, “What about these others?”
Chu Tian said, “These four are disciples I selected for the sect, thinking that you’d like them.”
“Thoughtful of you. Your other senior brothers are all about cultivation; after going out for years, they haven’t brought back anything.”
The Grand Palace Master laughed and scolded, then asked, “And what about their talents? I know your standards are high. Those who pass your eye must be at least Heavenly-grade talent, right?”
Chu Tian’s mouth curled into a smile.
“Except for the young lady who is mid-level Heavenly-grade talent, the other three are Earth-grade talents.”
The Grand Palace Master listened, looked at Chu Tian as if not joking, then turned to carefully examine Lin Chen and the others.
“You must be cheating, right?”
The Grand Palace Master circled around the five, including Xuan Qing, turning left three times and right three times, staring at them like rare treasures. Even Xuan Qing began to feel chills down his back.
Why did it feel like this Grand Palace Master was far more formidable than he appeared?
“May I inspect them?”
The Grand Palace Master asked Lin Chen, Su Xiaorou, and the two Tong brothers. He found it hard to believe. Mid-level Heavenly-grade talent was acceptable, but Earth-grade talent was rare.
Chu Tian actually brought three of them at once, and his own disciple was Saint-level.
Was he collecting disciples or shopping for them?
The four nodded and said, “Grand Uncle Grand Palace Master, please.”
The Grand Palace Master extended his hand, his powerful divine sense covering the four.
“Amazing!”
Lin Chen and the others widened their eyes, shocked. Under the Grand Palace Master’s divine sense, they felt like small boats in the vast sea, ready to capsize at any moment!
Soon, the Grand Palace Master withdrew his hand, his eyes full of astonishment. Su Xiaorou’s mid-level Heavenly-grade talent had already reached the level of a true transmission disciple, and the other three were even more remarkable.
Lin Chen: top-level Earth-grade cultivation talent!
Tong One: mid-level Earth-grade cultivation talent!
Tong Two: mid-level Earth-grade cultivation talent!
Moreover, his divine sense detected particularly profound Dao Principle fluctuations in the three’s dantian.
That was a mark of innate constitution origin!
In other words, these three not only had extraordinary talent but also special constitutions!
Had this guy really been out “shopping”?
Are geniuses really this easy to find?
