Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 524 - 307: Becoming a Disciple of Lord Zi Ji, Three Great Gifts! (Seeking Monthly Pass)
Eighty-two Divine Skills... How dare he!
Amidst the skies, Wu Tianming, leader of the Inner Sect’s True Inheritor Seed ranking, suddenly came to a halt. He stared at the eighty-two Divine Skills being proclaimed atop Thunder Prison Peak, where magic drums thundered and magic conches blared, too shocked to speak.
He too could cultivate eighty-two Divine Skills. But after cultivating them, how would he then break through to the Nirvana Realm?
Having cultivated seventy-nine Divine Skills, he already felt he was at his limit.
If he were to cultivate even one more Divine Skill, not only would it consume significant time and energy, but it would also fail to further increase his combat power. Instead, it would needlessly increase the difficulty of breaking through to the Nirvana Realm.
The drawbacks completely outweighed the benefits.
This time, his visit to Thunder Prison Peak was to officially meet Jiang Shu. It wasn’t about the petty rivalry of being number one in the Inner Sect, as some disciples believed. A great war was imminent, and time was pressing. If this Jiang Shu truly was one of the sect’s geniuses, Wu Tianming could then set his mind at ease, enter secluded cultivation, and focus on breaking through to the Nirvana Realm.
In the Divine Power Conference, Jiang Shu could bring more honor to the True Martial Sect than he himself could.
If Jiang Shu turned out to be inferior, then he would just wait a little longer, breaking through after the Divine Power Conference concluded.
But he hadn’t expected to witness such a shocking scene before even reaching Thunder Prison Peak.
Cultivating eighty-two Divine Skills in the Primordial Pill Realm required such a profound foundation! This quantity couldn’t possibly be amassed merely by refining the Divine Skills from other cultivators’ Primordial Pills.
Each Divine Skill represents a unique method of circulating Primordial Power. The more Divine Skills one cultivates, the greater the demands placed upon the cultivator. Without exceptionally pure Primordial Power and extremely rapid Primordial Power conversion, cultivating so many Divine Skills would be simply impossible.
Eighty-two Divine Skills signified that Jiang Shu, within the Primordial Pill Realm, had reached the true limit among the disciples of the Cang Mang Domain’s Eight Great Sects.
Surpassing Yi Meng Dao!
"Brother Wu..." Seeing Wu Tianming stop, a disciple following him couldn’t help but ask in a low voice.
There’s no need to compare anymore. With eighty-two Divine Skills, I am inferior.
"Spread the word that I will dedicate myself to secluded cultivation in a sprint to the Nirvana Realm."
After taking a long look at Jiang Shu, who was stepping towards the summit, Wu Tianming caused no further disturbance. He turned and directly made his way back to his Cave Mansion to begin his secluded cultivation.
「At the peak.」
Each Purple Cloud Thunder Light Pearl swayed in the wind, as if thunder and lightning waxed and waned within them.
"Jiang Shu, are you willing to take me as your Master?" Lord Zi Ji asked, holding the talismanic writ left by Lord Wan Kui, and he nodded almost imperceptibly. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
The purpose of sending Jiang Shu to the Heavenly Puppet Sect, aside from providing him with opportunities, was more importantly to use it as a way to assess Jiang Shu.
Although the True Martial Sect had thirty-six Peak Masters, in reality, most of them had only accepted disciples in their early years. After achieving the Vientiane Realm, they typically immersed themselves in comprehending the Great Dao. The so-called "accepting disciples" usually meant the eldest senior brother accepting disciples on behalf of the Master. All guidance and teaching were handled by the senior brothers.
What he spoke of now was naturally not that kind of discipleship.
For a genius like Jiang Shu, even the Nirvana Realm elders with the most profound cultivation foundations within the sect were unqualified to be his Master.
To take him as a disciple would absolutely mean genuine, personal instruction.
And it was precisely because of this that he had conducted this assessment, to ascertain Jiang Shu’s character.
The wind sighed gently, the sounds of thunder faded.
Jiang Shu stood before the small pond and bowed respectfully. "Master above."
In fact, since the first time he had stepped onto the peak, Jiang Shu had been prepared for the possibility of being taken as a disciple. However, since Lord Zi Ji hadn’t mentioned it then, he hadn’t paid much mind or inquired further.
For him, the Two Realms Shuttle and the interface were his greatest assets.
Once he stepped into the Nirvana Realm, he could enter the Wenxian Palace again. Any questions regarding the Nirvana Realm could then be answered by the Artifact Spirit, who was once in the Returning to Void Realm.
From the perspective of his future path on the Great Dao, he could actually manage without a Master.
However, from his current standpoint, having a Lord of Wanxiang Realm as his Master would absolutely be advantageous, with no drawbacks.
All of the sect’s Divine Skills required a vast amount of Contribution Points to exchange. Although he had cultivated to his current realm, his time in the sect had been too short, and he had completed hardly any missions.
He could only turn in some unneeded Treasures, talismans, and Elixirs to the sect in exchange for a modest amount of Contribution Points—at most, enough to redeem a few Divine Skills.
But if he became Lord Zi Ji’s disciple, acquiring the seventeen Divine Skills he still lacked would almost certainly not be an issue.
Looking further ahead, with the great war imminent, the sect would absolutely dispatch Lords of Wanxiang Realm to garrison the Endless Sea.
With a Master, he would have true backing in the great war, allowing him to employ all his methods to their fullest extent.
"In the past, I accepted three disciples. These three are now all elders in our True Martial Sect. Your eldest senior brother, Thunder True Monarch, currently garrisons the Abyss. Several years ago, he successfully passed the Nirvana Thunder Tribulation. He has cultivated over a hundred Divine Skills and is a prominent figure among those in the Nirvana Realm.
"I have a letter here. If you go to the Abyss and meet him, this can serve as proof.
"Your second senior brother, Sea Light True Monarch, has been overseeing the sect’s affairs in Fuhai City for these past years. Although he has only recently passed the Nirvana Fire Tribulation, his foundation is profound. Once the great war begins, you should seek him out. He is far more familiar with the geography of the Endless Sea region than I am.
"As for your third senior brother, Ruyi Monarch, he is currently here on Thunder Prison Peak. Compared to your eldest and second senior brothers, he does not excel in combat. However, he has made significant achievements in Artifact Refining, Alchemy, talismans, Formations, and various other paths of the Great Dao. Although his realm is only just past the Nirvana Wind Tribulation, and he has cultivated no more than a hundred Divine Skills, his reputation among outsiders is actually the greatest."
