Chapter 43 The Origin Secret Vault! Unveiling the Realm!
Chu Tian smiled and said, “Convinced now? You know I never brag.”
The Grand Palace Master smiled broadly and said, “Good, good, the future of Saint Demon Mountain looks promising.”
“If Master and Junior Brother Chen Gang learn about this, they’ll definitely be very happy. They might even make an exception and accept those three as disciples.”
The Grand Palace Master lifted his teacup again, looking at Chu Tian, and said, “You really put in effort this time. Those four, plus your two disciples, will definitely make Saint Demon Mountain stronger in the future.”
Chu Tian nodded.
“I know, but that’s only on the surface.”
“Hahaha…”
“You’re the only one who truly understands me, kid!”
“The bigger the tree, the more it attracts wind. We only need some influence in the Great Ruins, there’s no need to compete fiercely in everything.”
The Grand Palace Master laughed heartily, clearly very pleased.
Gaining four disciples of true heir caliber at once—how could he not be happy?
Moreover, The Grand Palace Master sipped his tea, his gaze following the rim of the cup, glanced at Lin Chen, and smiled slightly.
“What’s your name?”
Lin Chen quickly replied, “My name is Lin Chen. Lin as in forest, Chen as in morning.”
“Not bad, a good name,” the Grand Palace Master said. “Your talent is enough to qualify you as the Saint Son of Saint Demon Mountain, but the Great Ruins will soon undergo great changes, so my requirements have risen.”
“To become the Saint Son of Saint Demon Mountain, your talent must reach the lower rank of the Holy Grade.”
“You’re still a little short.”
Lin Chen’s eyes darkened. Although disappointed, this was determined by innate factors and he couldn’t help it.
“But,”
The Grand Palace Master shifted tone.
“If you perform well in the future, I have a way to help you complete your origin, which will at least be stronger than now. By then, your talent might even break through to the Holy Grade!”
Lin Chen immediately bowed, excitedly saying, “I will definitely give my all to serve the sect!”
The Grand Palace Master nodded, “I’m telling you this to give you some motivation. Coming to Saint Demon Mountain, you will never be disappointed.”
…
Chu Tian was surprised by the Grand Palace Master’s words.
“It seems that even though I’m now the Palace Master, I still know too little about Saint Demon Mountain.”
He had no idea that Saint Demon Mountain actually had a way to complete one’s physical origin. This was something he himself was helpless about. Or rather, it was very difficult to accomplish.
The origin’s incompleteness is innate; the Dao rules are not complete, so the secret vault of the physique cannot be opened. The true power of the physique naturally could not be fully unleashed.
Every special physique has its own exclusive secret vault. Once opened, it grants powerful magic matching the physique. Therefore, if Lin Chen can complete his origin, his future achievements will be limitless. He might even be able to rest peacefully in the ancestral tombs deep below!
The Grand Palace Master smiled mysteriously.
“If you’re willing to become the Grand Palace Master, you will know all of Saint Demon Mountain’s secrets.”
Chu Tian had exceptional talent, breaking through to the Tian Yan Realm at a young age, and was very smart. If he were to become the Grand Palace Master of Saint Demon Mountain, the Grand Palace Master would be very at ease.
This matter had even been mentioned by the Grand Palace Master to Chu Tian’s father, the former Free Palace Master Chu Yuan. Back then, Chu Tian was only twenty, and the Grand Palace Master intended to train him as the future successor. But Chu Yuan rejected it without hesitation.
Chu Tian shook his head and smiled wryly.
“I don’t want to be the Palace Master. Whether or not I know the sect’s secrets isn’t important. It’s enough to have a clear mind and keep my feet on the ground.”
Chu Tian chatted with the Grand Palace Master for a while, then said goodbye and left, taking Xuan Qing back to the Freedom Palace. Lin Chen and the other three were arranged by the Grand Palace Master.
With their talents, their status in Saint Demon Mountain was definitely not low. Becoming true disciples was the most basic treatment. As for Lin Chen, he might even go further.
Chu Tian and Xuan Qing rode the giant sword, soaring straight into the sky, passing through the clouds, and heading towards the Freedom Palace.
As they approached the Freedom Palace, Chu Tian looked up, raised his eyebrows, and his expression turned somewhat strange.
“Whoa!”
“Our Freedom Palace really is spreading its branches and leaves!”
“Seeing these inner sect disciples here makes me truly comforted!”
Although the Freedom Palace never actively recruits disciples, the number of disciples training inside was certainly no less than those of the other six peaks!
Vaguely, it seemed the stronger the disciple, the more they liked to come to the Freedom Palace to soak up the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth here.
Although under the influence of the heavenly materials and treasures Chu Tian had planted, especially the reformed innate Pan Tao tree, the spiritual energy concentration within tens of thousands of miles around Saint Demon Mountain had already changed dramatically from before.
Inside the mountain, it was even several times denser than before. But as the source, the Freedom Palace’s spiritual energy was so thick it could almost condense into spiritual water.
Training here for one day was equivalent to training for five days or even longer elsewhere. Such a spiritually elegant place, Chu Tian did not drive anyone away, so more and more disciples from the six peaks came here to set up tents and build training caves.
Even several Palace Masters and Grand Palace Masters’ own disciples had special training caves here. When night was deep and quiet, they would quietly come to train.
They chose to come at night, not for any other reason, but to secretly compete a bit with their fellow disciples. Especially with other direct disciples.
In case one day someone boasted too much and a fight broke out, they would at least have some confidence, right?
“Luo Qing, this girl, came so early today?”
Chu Tian looked down from a high place and saw Zhou Yang Luo Qing walking softly in the corner, slowly approaching her training cave in the Freedom Palace. She was very cautious, afraid of being seen by other direct disciples.
This second disciple of Master Luo, on the surface, was cute, petite, and charming. Her delicate features and Taoist robes made her look like a porcelain doll.
But if you were deceived by her appearance, you’d suffer big losses.
She was the undefeated champion in the Cycle Palace. Secretly, her cultivation level probably already surpassed the eldest senior brother Li Duxiu.
Zhou Yang Luo Qing bypassed the crowd, quietly entered a hidden cave, and then closed the stone door. Chu Tian shook his head and smiled, no longer paying attention to that side, and took Xuan Qing up to the top peak of the Freedom Palace.
“Huh?”
“This is Master Luo’s aura. He’s here?”
Chu Tian passed through the formation and landed behind the Freedom Palace. He immediately sensed a strange aura that did not belong to the Freedom Palace.
Upon careful discernment, wasn’t this the aura of the Cycle Palace Master?
How did this guy get here?
Chu Tian looked towards a newly built cave in the distance.
Had this guy already settled down here?
