Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant-Chapter 438 - 260: True Disciple (Long - ) _2
Additionally, Evergreen Peak has a low presence, attracting less attention within the sect, allowing for discreet cultivation, which is exactly what Li An needs.
The Sect Leader said, "Very well."
With a flick of his finger, on a certain Cyan Peak of the Dao Sect, an old man suddenly opened his eyes. With a single step, his figure appeared outside the main hall of the Dao Sect. Upon entering the hall, he cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother Sect Leader!"
This old man appeared rather plump, his face glowing with health. Despite his white hair and beard, his spirit was remarkably vigorous.
The Sect Leader said, "Changshou, this is young friend Li An. He wishes to apprentice under your Evergreen Peak. Congratulations on welcoming another true disciple to Evergreen Peak."
Gui Changshou was taken aback, "A true disciple?"
When would a true disciple ever proactively choose Evergreen Peak?
"As you command!"
Gui Changshou said no more.
"Shangguan Xiaoxiao, what about you? Which peak do you wish to cultivate on?"
The Sect Leader looked at Shangguan Xiaoxiao.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao raised her eyes to the Sect Leader and said, "Celestial Dao Peak!"
Celestial Dao Peak!
Upon hearing this, everyone present was astonished.
Even Li An was momentarily dazed. What madness possessed this little girl?
Wasn’t it agreed that after coming to the Dao Sect, everything would proceed according to Li An’s arrangements, and that they would go to Evergreen Peak together?
Why the sudden change of mind...
"Celestial Dao Peak is not among the one hundred and eight main peaks; it is the place of cultivation for the Sect Leader! How can you choose it?"
Ascendant Master Fen Yuan spoke first, displeased.
"Her ambitions are too high!"
Lei Yuan also shook his head.
The status of Celestial Dao Peak is too high!
Only heirs at the Dao Level have the possibility of cultivating there.
Moreover, going to Celestial Dao Peak would mean that her direct mentor is...
The Sect Leader!
The Sect Leader looked at Shangguan Xiaoxiao, his expression calm and unsurprised. After pondering briefly, he nodded and said:
"Fine, I permit you to cultivate at Celestial Dao Peak."
He agreed!
Ancestor Master Wang Ji, Tianchenzi, and others were somewhat surprised. They were well aware that the Sect Leader had not accepted any disciples for countless years, and now he was willing to take Shangguan Xiaoxiao as one?
"I once crossed paths with the Demon Emperor a few times in the past, yet my skill was lacking, often falling short. Today, by accepting his descendant as my disciple, I will strive my utmost so that Dao Friend Qiu cannot mock me for incompetence."
The Sect Leader, reminiscing about something, couldn’t help but smile. He stood up and said, "Good, this matter is settled. Henceforth—all brothers and sisters, from today onwards, please work hard. The entire Dao Sect must join efforts in cultivation to overcome the unforeseeable challenges ahead!"
After speaking, his figure disappeared directly, and Shangguan Xiaoxiao beside Li An vanished as well.
Li An felt a bit dazed, suddenly realizing why Shangguan Xiaoxiao agreed to come to the Dao Sect with him...
Perhaps it wasn’t because trust had been established between him and Shangguan Xiaoxiao.
Nor was it because Shangguan Xiaoxiao truly wished to tread the path of the Cyan Wood Immortal Skill with him.
But rather...
She had other plans in mind.
Thus, taking advantage of this opportunity to enter the Dao Sect...
"Foolish girl, foolish girl!"
Li An couldn’t help but curse in his heart. No matter what demeanor you have as the second princess of the Demon Sect, once you’ve entered the Dao Sect, how much room do you have to maneuver? This place even has Corpse Dissolving Immortals buried underground!
And as far as Li An knew, although the Demon Sect was tyrannical and ruthless, it had never produced an Immortal from beginning to end.
If Shangguan Xiaoxiao truly intends to stir something up in the Dao Sect, she’s likely just a moth flying into the flame...
But now, he is powerless.
"Li An, let’s go!"
Gui Changshou spoke with a smile. He walked over to Li An, helped him up, and Li An immediately felt a pure wood element energy being infused into his Dantian, making him feel extremely comfortable all over.
Obviously, Gui Changshou had noticed that the Sect Leader had abolished Li An’s Demon Skill, leaving his body very weak.
He took Li An out of the main hall. With a step, the void blossomed, and the two of them had already disappeared.
...
"A Demon Cultivator entering the Dao Sect is truly unprecedented..."
Leaving the main hall, Ascendant Master Fen Yuan sighed deeply.
"Whether it’s a blessing or a curse... but since the Sect Leader has done this, he must have his reasons."
Lei Yuan was also unhappy, but he fully supported the Sect Leader’s decision, without any doubt.
"Brother Tianchen, the Sect Leader accepting Shangguan Xiaoxiao is indeed extraordinary..."
Ancestor Master Wang Ji couldn’t help but speak.
Tianchenzi was silent for a moment and then said, "Senior Sister, no matter what considerations the Senior Brother Sect Leader has, I, Tianchenzi, will never coexist in harmony with the demonic outsiders throughout my life! If these two truly reform, so be it; but if they ever violate the sect rules, I will be the first to execute them!"
Having said that, he already walked away.
The others continued to discuss, except for Qiao Rumu, the Peak Master of Heroic Sword Peak, who hummed a little tune and vanished. He appeared on Heroic Sword Peak in the next moment.
"An Li, where is your master?"
He appeared at the residence of Xiang Yuntian and his disciple, where An Li was meditating. At that moment, An Li quickly came out and said, "Reporting to the Peak Master, Master has gone to visit the grave..."
"Visit the grave?!"
Qiao Rumu grabbed An Li with one hand and turned into a streak of light, shortly landing in a mountain hollow. There was nothing else here but a massive grave, entirely constructed of white jade spirit bricks, with a line of small words engraved on the tombstone:
"The Grave of Li An."
And there sat Xiang Yuntian with a wine flask in front of the tombstone.
"Paying respects to a dead man every day, are you not exhausted?"
Qiao Rumu spoke, and Xiang Yuntian seemed surprised, saying, "Peak Master, why are you here?"
"Why am I here?"
Qiao Rumu squinted his eyes and said, "I came to teach you a lesson because I think you’re worthless!"
After speaking, he smacked with a palm, and the grave of Li An instantly exploded, turning into flat ground.
"You!..."
Xiang Yuntian suddenly stood up, staring at Qiao Rumu, his eyes full of disbelief and deep anger, he asked, "Why?"
