Eternal Life from Taking Care of Master's Wife-Chapter 238 - 61: What Are Divine Techniques? The Wolf Is Coming! Twelve Tower- and Five City-Refined Translation
"He... he is actually His Highness the Holy Son!?"
The middle-aged scholar, recalling how he dared to flaunt a Black Iron Steward Token in front of the Holy Son, felt both ashamed and terrified, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into.
Too embarrassing!
As a renowned sect, Infinite Sword Sect attracts outstanding talents; within Beishan Dao, nine out of ten exceptional talents have been recruited by them.
He used to be considered a genius too, remarkable within a single province, but at Infinite Sword Sect, he was nothing special.
Infinite Sword Sect recruits disciples once every ten years. Those under thirty years of age with cultivation levels no higher than the Body Refining Realm can apply. They only accept nine True Inheritors, ninety-nine Inner Sect Disciples, nine hundred ninety-nine Outer Disciples, and ten thousand Servant Disciples each time.
These numbers seem large, but across the seventy-two provinces of the nine regions, it’s like a multitude crossing a single-log bridge.
At Cyan Cloud Sect, at least half the True Inheritors cannot even make it as Servant Disciples.
In the Servant Disciples, he is merely average; otherwise, he wouldn’t be stuck as the lowest level, a Black Iron Steward.
"I wonder if His Highness the Holy Son will hold a grudge against me? If he dislikes me, I’m doomed..."
The middle-aged scholar panicked inwardly.
Showing off feels good temporarily.
But facing the consequences is a nightmare.
"Someone of the Holy Son’s stature probably forgot about me long ago..."
The middle-aged scholar comforted himself, losing even the mood to listen to Yu Jiao Fairy’s performance, feeling as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
After the performance, countless guests were transfixed, unable to return to their senses for a long while.
Yu Jiao Fairy stood up gracefully, bowing slightly, her voice soft and gentle:
"I didn’t realize His Highness the Holy Son was gracing us with his presence. Forgive me for not welcoming you sooner, Your Highness!"
She spoke softly, unheard by those outside.
Zhou Chen had come disguised; not knowing his intention, she dared not reveal his presence.
In fact, guests in those VIP rooms had already seen Zhou Chen.
"No need for formalities. I wonder how Yu Jiao Fairy plans to welcome me?"
Zhou Chen smiled, leaned closer to her ear, inhaling her subtle maiden fragrance, and whispered:
"With a corridor of welcome?"
"As long as Your Highness is pleased, I am willing to do anything!"
Yu Jiao Fairy’s face flushed as red as blood, her beautiful eyes filled with shyness, mixed with boldness and passion.
In the eyes of others, the unattainable Holy Immortal Fairy appeared humble and fawning before Zhou Chen.
Just like celebrities dazzling on stage, who are playthings before powerful capitalists.
"Go back and clean up, wait for me!"
Zhou Chen pinched Yu Jiao Fairy’s tender cheeks and vanished under her surprised gaze.
"His Highness the Holy Son is going to favor me!"
Yu Jiao Fairy’s excitement and eagerness were beyond words.
"I must seize this opportunity!"
Yu Jiao Fairy hurried off to her room to prepare.
Dedicating her life for one glorious day.
As long as she pleases His Highness, she’ll be able to leave Bai Yujing, even if just as a concubine, which would be better than being Bai Yujing’s courtesan.
Courtesans seem infinitely glamorous, but in the eyes of powerful aristocrats, they are still just performers.
Once their worth is exhausted, they are auctioned off like dishes, to be played with by the highest bidder.
...
Deep within Bai Yujing, in a luxurious hall, Zhou Chen’s figure slowly appeared.
"This old man Yin Tiankong greets the Holy Son. Welcome, Your Highness!"
An old man with a robust figure, though his hair and beard were white, his skin was rosy, and he appeared before Zhou Chen, bowing with cupped hands.
"Elder Yin, no need for such ceremony. I just grew restless in solitude and came out for some fun!"
Zhou Chen smiled, sizing up Yin Tiankong.
The main management of Infinite Sword Sect consists of the Sect Leader, Vice Sect Leader, Grand Elder, Law Enforcement Elder, Inner Sect Elder, Outer Sect Elder, and Steward.
The Sect Leader, Lin Nantian, was the previous Holy Son. Zhou Chen doesn’t know his exact cultivation level, but he is at least at the Peak of Divine Skill Realm, possibly having broken through, very powerful indeed.
As for the Vice Sect Leader, Huangfu Yueyao, enough said.
The Grand Elder, Nangong Lie, is also at the Peak of Divine Skill Realm; when Zhou Chen joined Infinite Sword Sect, he even took the chance to mock Huangfu Yueyao. He is of her senior uncle’s generation.
The Law Enforcement Elder is similar to the Grand Elder.
The Inner Sect Elders are also experts within the Divine Skill Realm, with potential to break through to higher realms.
The Outer Sect Elders barely reach Divine Skill Realm, having exhausted their potential.
Inner and Outer Sect Elders are categorized by strength and potential; breaking through from Outer Disciple does not an Outer Sect Elder make.
Achieving Divine Skill Realm, they wouldn’t remain Outer Disciples.
With potential for Divine Skill Realm already they would have been promoted to Inner Sect Disciple long ago.
Stewards are divided into three levels: Black Iron, Silver, and Gold, corresponding to the Divine Sea, Primordial Pill, and Divine Seed stages respectively.
The middle-aged scholar is the lowest of them, a Black Iron Steward, at the Peak of Divine Sea Realm.
In Infinite Sword Sect, only those of the Divine Skill Realm can bear the title of Elder.
Any Elder in Infinite Sword Sect is a strong figure, even the Outer Sect Elders.
However, the true foundation of Infinite Sword Sect lies in those who cultivate in seclusion, rarely managing affairs. Ninety percent are above the Divine Skill Realm.
Ninth Primordial Pill transforms into the Foundation of Origin.
The Foundation of Origin, like fertile soil, nurtures the seed of divine skill, thus reaching the Divine Seed Realm.
The divine skill seed roots and sprouts in the Foundation of Origin soil, becoming the Divine Tree, nurturing divine skills, forming the Divine Skill Realm.
Each branch and leaf on the Divine Tree represents a divine skill.
The taller the Divine Tree, the more branches and leaves, the more divine skills.
The larger the Divine Tree, the thicker the branches and leaves, the stronger the divine skills.
How tall and thick the tree grows is determined by its kind and, crucially, the Foundation of Origin soil.
The larger and more fertile the Foundation of Origin, the taller and bigger the Divine Tree grows.
The Foundation of Origin is transformed from the Primordial Pill, which is condensed from Divine Power in the Divine Sea, the size of which depends on the strength of Body Refining.
Foundational potential is consistently interconnected from beginning to end.
Take Long Jingyun of Flame Dragon Valley; if he had received Infinite Sword Sect’s resources from a young age, he might have achieved the Divine Skill Realm.
