Chapter 1877: Core Disciple
Jing Yan and the Nuwa Palace Master stood before the building.
Ever since entering the Hongjun Heavenly Palace, the Tao Aura seemed to be everywhere. Cultivating in such an environment clearly had a half-the-effort, twice-the-result effect on cultivators trying to comprehend Taoist Law.
"It’s indeed worthy of being an Ultimate Force. No wonder nearly all life in the Endless Chaos wants to enter an Ultimate Force for cultivation. Just looking at the environment alone, it’s unbelievably good," Jing Yan mused.
"Jing Yan, how about staying here for the time being?" the Nuwa Palace Master said to Jing Yan with a smile.
The Nuwa Palace Master was referring to the building in front of them. It was vacant, with no other residents inside.
"I’ll follow Lady Nüwa’s arrangements," Jing Yan quickly replied.
Others might call her Palace Master, but Jing Yan was used to calling her Lady Nüwa. Nuwa didn’t mind; on the contrary, she found it endearing.
"Stay here for now. Jing Yan, with your strength and talent, upon entering our Hongjun Heavenly Palace, you should directly become a Core Disciple. However, promoting a Core Disciple isn’t something I can decide unilaterally. I need to discuss this with others. Our Heavenly Palace disciples are divided into three levels. The lowest are the Outer Disciples, followed by the Inner Sect Disciples, and the highest are the Core Disciples. The status of a Core Disciple is comparable to the Void Son of the Void Divine Hall. Our Core Disciples at the Hongjun Heavenly Palace are also very few in number," the Nuwa Palace Master explained slowly to Jing Yan.
This was information Jing Yan already knew. When he was in the Shelun Country, the Shelun Country’s Ruler, Chenyuan Emperor, had mentioned these details to him.
The Outer Disciples of Hongjun Heavenly Palace are also Martial Arts Geniuses from the Endless Chaos. When these Martial Arts Geniuses enter the Heavenly Palace, they start as Outer Disciples. They can cultivate within the Hongjun Heavenly Palace for a billion years. If they can’t be promoted to Inner Sect Disciples after a billion years, they must leave the Heavenly Palace to take on some duties outside, like He Jiu, who serves as an Area Main Hall Master in a small country.
Inner Sect Disciples aren’t subject to such restrictions. They can theoretically reside in the Hongjun Heavenly Palace forever, slowly cultivating and enhancing their strength. Once they reach a certain level, they have the possibility of being promoted to the management level of the Heavenly Palace, such as the role of an elder, and so on.
To become a Core Disciple is extremely difficult. For an Inner Disciple, there’s almost no hope of becoming a Core Disciple. In the last ten billion years, no Inner Sect Disciple has ever been promoted to Core Disciple.
