Chapter 497: Chapter 294: The True Inheritance Tower! The Peak Master of the Vientiane Realm practices Divine Skills!_2

"But True Disciples are different. True Disciples are the true pillars of our sect. Every True Disciple, as long as they don’t fall, will at the very least become a Peak Master or Vice Sect Leader of our True Martial Sect. Some may even become the next Supreme Sect Leader or Supreme Elder in the future. True Disciples are judged not only by their realm but more so by their foundation! Their talent! There are only ten True Disciples, precisely to select the ten with the strongest foundations and the most exceptional talents from the Nirvana Realm."

By the small pond, Lord Zi Ji fished silently. His figure showed no change, yet his spiritual power enveloped the entire mountaintop like a sky-obscuring eclipse. Every change in Jiang Shu’s expression naturally did not escape his eyes.

He nodded slightly in silence and continued, "Because there are only ten True Disciple slots, there is a situation where existing True Disciples and newly advanced Inner Sect Disciples of the Nirvana Realm must battle. And in this battle, the latter is almost certain to be defeated. After all, the former might have cultivated for countless years upon stepping into the Nirvana Realm. Their accumulated resources and experience far exceed that of the latter. Our True Martial Sect has naturally considered this. Therefore, every time an Inner Sect Disciple is promoted to the Nirvana Realm, they can see our True Martial Sect’s Dao Artifact... The True Inheritance Tower."

"Our True Martial Sect’s True Inheritance Tower has a long legacy, nearly ten thousand years, existing for a much more extended period than even I have. The Artifact Spirit of the True Inheritance Tower can replicate the strongest battle power that the previous ten True Disciples had when they advanced to the Nirvana Realm, through the marks they left behind. Anyone who defeats it can be promoted to True Disciple. During this process, all external objects are forbidden to be used. What matters is one’s foundation, talent, and strength." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Atop Thunder Prison Peak, Lord Zi Ji began to explain to Jiang Shu the foundations of the current ten True Disciples of the True Martial Sect. These are things that ordinary Inner Sect Disciples may never come into contact with in their lifetime. Only the genius disciples on the True Inheritor Seed list can learn a thing or two through some mentors.

"With their talents, they could have already advanced to the Nirvana Realm. Every one of them has cultivated their Primordial Power Divine Abilities to perfection. They choose to remain precisely to keep honing themselves, aspiring to ascend as True Disciples in the True Inheritance Tower in one fell swoop and make a name for themselves in the True Martial Sect."

"While the ten genius disciples on the True Inheritor Seed list all have considerable opportunities, such opportunities are not lacking for anyone who manages to cultivate to the Nirvana Realm. Only the foundation and talent are fundamental. To many Inner Sect Disciples, the gathering of Primordial Power and cultivation of Divine Skills might seem like foundation and talent, but in reality, they are not. In my opinion, the understanding of the Great Dao is the true foundation, the true talent. And you, Jiang Shu, having an understanding of the Tao Embryo in the Primordial Pill Realm, perhaps have a future that could even hope to reach the Chaos Hole Realm."

Lord Zi Ji said this and only then lifted his head to look at Jiang Shu. Primordial Power and spiritual power spiraled in the void, condensing into two phantoms. In Jiang Shu’s gradually widening eyes, one of the phantoms began to practice the Five Emperors Sky Extending Seal and the Qi Swallowing Vientiane Fist, while the other phantom, in turn, underwent various transformations of Divine Skills.

This is... Myriad Phenomena Daoist Monarch’s transmission of the Dao!

There was no imparting of new Divine Skills, no bestowing of any Heavenly Rank Treasure or Heavenly Array. But this was exactly what Jiang Shu desired most!

Although in Wenxian Palace he had access to the guidance of the Artifact Spirit, such cultivation of Divine Skills was, after all, constructed in isolation. Nothing could compare to the demonstration by the current Peak Master.

What seemed like a casual exchange between two phantoms was, to Jiang Shu, akin to sparring with various genius disciples of the Primordial Pill Realm. The other phantom was far more powerful than Zhou Yan and performed Divine Skills with the agility of an antelope leaping through the brambles, every move brilliant.

Jiang Shu was almost multitasking. On one hand, he was deducing the various applications of the Qi Swallowing Vientiane Fist, integrating deeper understanding of the Great Dao into the technique. On the other hand, he watched the phantoms’ performance, recognizing different Divine Skills and discerning their strengths and weaknesses.

In another two years, there would be the once-in-sixty-years Divine Power Conference of the eight major sects. The convention would feature geniuses from all major sects. The number one Inner Disciple of the Dao Yi Sect, for instance, had cultivated eighty-one Divine Skills. He was horrifyingly formidable and not to be underestimated.

Though his power was strong, he had not yet reached the stage where a single force could break all methods. From the Peak Master’s demonstration, Jiang Shu continuously absorbed knowledge. He observed that the Divine Skills performed by the other phantom were gradually changing from those of the True Martial Sect to those of other major sects. The phantom even began to demonstrate Divine Skills from the Dao Yi Sect!

Jiang Shu’s gaze shone brightly, nearly forgetting the passage of time. He stood on the peak, his aura fluctuating. Around his body, two faint shadows gradually condensed, continuously clashing against each other. The Qi Swallowing Vientiane Fist was perfected further with each practice he performed. From the previous tenth punch, he had astonishingly unleashed an eleventh punch!

「Outer Sect.」

Luo Yu had completed his half-month-long cultivation and was preparing to leave his residence, following his usual routine, to wait for Brother Xue to exchange cultivation experiences, when upon opening the door, he saw a row of Inner Sect Disciples. Each Inner Sect Disciple had an excessively ingratiating smile on their face, and behind them, Outer Disciples gathered, looking at Luo Yu with unstoppable envy and flattery in their eyes.

"May I ask, Senior Brothers..."

Since joining the True Martial Sect, Luo Yu had always been cautious and prudent. I don’t possess Brother Jiang’s terrifying talent, nor Brother Xue’s foundation, he thought. All I can do is avoid too much trouble, cultivate daily, and occasionally take on some missions to meet my daily needs. In all his years at the sect, he had hardly made any close friends, and his residence was often quiet and deserted. Why then, today, have so many people suddenly arrived?

"This must be Junior Brother Luo Yu."

No sooner had Luo Yu spoken, than an Inner Sect Disciple approached him with a radiant smile. In the True Martial Sect, there were no secrets between the Inner and Outer Sects. The social interactions of all disciples could be clearly understood if one wished to investigate. When Jiang Shu was received by the Peak Master, all Inner Sect Disciples knew that Brother Jiang’s momentum was established. In the future, he had a great probability of ascending to a True Disciple position. Such a person was respected by everyone; who wouldn’t want to establish a connection with him? But now, getting close to Brother Jiang was already too late.

Moreover, with his heaven-defying opportunity, possession of a Heavenly Rank Treasure, and the backing of the Peak Master, Brother Jiang’s foundation was unfathomably deeper than theirs. No matter how many gifts they offered, they probably couldn’t gain even a glance from Brother Jiang. Rather than that, we should take a roundabout approach!

In just a short period of time, these Inner Sect Disciples had investigated Jiang Shu’s entire journey from a servant disciple to an Inner Sect Disciple. Every one of them knew about Jiang Shu’s two sworn friends from his time in the Da Jing Dynasty, who rose from servant disciples to become Outer Disciples together. They were betting that Jiang Shu, after achieving his current status, would definitely return to reunite with his former close friends. At that time, all their current efforts would be of tremendous importance!

"Junior Brother Luo Yu, you’ve been in closed-door cultivation all this time and might not yet know. Half a day ago, Brother Jiang single-handedly defeated Brother Zhou Yan of Sky Flame Peak. Not only was he hailed by many fellow Inner Sect Disciples as the number one figure, but he was also received by the Peak Master of Thunder Prison Peak."

"This is a bottle of Earth-rank Elixir, which could be of great benefit to you at the Furnace Fire Realm..."

One Inner Sect Disciple spoke with a somewhat ingratiating tone, stepping forward first. A bottle of Earth-rank Elixir is a significant cultivation resource even for me, he thought. But if this could make Brother Jiang remember me, perhaps my future cultivation will encounter a much broader path.

Before Luo Yu could react, the rest of the Inner Sect Disciples also began to speak:

"This is an Earth Rank talisman containing the Void Escape Technique. Although it’s not as precious as the Great Teleportation Talisman, it allows one to instantly move hundreds of miles, making it an excellent choice for saving one’s life... Brother Luo Yu, take a look, are you satisfied?"

"This is a deed to property owned by our family in the thirty-second city of True Martial, invaluable. If Junior Brother Luo Yu is interested, I can take you there now..."
