Starting My Cultivation With Time Management-Chapter 871 - 12 Long Admired Reputation
Chapter 871 -12 Long Admired Reputation
Changgeng True Person of Kunlun, has already broken through the Golden Core Realm and entered the Nascent Soul Realm!
This terrifying and significant news spread swiftly across the Divine Land, carried from south to north along the great rivers.
Curious individuals quietly calculated the time Changgeng True Person had entered the Golden Core Realm, only to discover that it was less than three hundred years.
Looking even further back, he only spent two hundred years in the Foundation Establishment Realm and had already formed a First Grade Golden Core.
Such a terrifying speed of cultivation progression, to say he soared into the sky is not an overstatement, and it has led to many impractical reveries and speculations about “Daoist Heart Clarity,” a cultivation talent that appears once in ten thousand years.
Suddenly, cultivators ceased discussing the Tai Yin Sword Master and began discussing how invincible the Daoist Heart Clarity was.
Some even confidently proclaimed that before the age of five hundred, Changgeng True Person would undoubtedly achieve Feather Transformation and ascend to immortality, becoming the youngest immortal in the history of the Kunlun Taiqing Sect… no, in all of history.
To this, Qiu Changtian scoffed.
Ascending to immortality within five hundred years is highly likely. The problem is, by then I might not necessarily still be “Kunlun Changgeng” anymore.
Sorry, I am an undercover agent!
After breaking through and advancing into the Nascent Soul Realm, Qiu Changtian naturally got promoted to a Kunlun Elder.
The Sect designated a mountain peak west of the Kunlun Heavenly Pillar, named “Miaoxuan,” for him as his dwelling place.
So Qiu Changtian, along with Xu Yinglian, bid farewell to Guan Zhan, Jian Qingnan, and other junior sect brothers and sisters, moving from Golden Ridge to Miaoxuan Mountain.
“Next month, it will be the opening day of Kunlun.” Xu Yinglian was carving a stone bed with a Flying Sword in the dwelling, suddenly saying, “As a newly appointed Elder, brother, do you plan to take in a few Inner Sect Disciples?”
“Haven’t thought about it yet.” Qiu Changtian smiled lightly, “Let’s talk about it then, after seeing the quality of this batch of Entry Level disciples… Anyway, the most impressive disciples will definitely choose the Sect Leader’s direct transmission.”
Xu Yinglian looked somewhat conflicted, seeming hesitant to speak, before finally saying:
“Our family entrusted me to tell you something: this year, there is a Cultivation Seed in our family planning to join Kunlun next month, named ‘Xu Jin.'”
“It is said that she greatly admired you in the past, and has already decided that if she can complete the journey to heaven, she hopes to become your disciple… If it’s convenient for you, the family hopes you could take care of her a bit.”
According to Kunlun Sect rules, other than the Chief Disciple who must receive direct transmission from the Sect Leader, the rest who complete the journey to heaven within the stipulated time qualify as Kunlun Inner Sect Disciples and can freely choose a Kunlun Elder to study under.
Of course, you choose an Elder to apprentice, but it also depends whether they are willing to accept, so the Xu Family of Southern Heaven approached Qiu Changtian in advance, using personal connections to ask for a favor—since you’re a newly appointed Elder, it’s inevitable that you would take in disciples.
With no disciples under your wing yet, having a genius girl from our Xu Family to support the scene would be good.
Qiu Changtian couldn’t think of a reason to refuse, although eventually planning to betray the sect and seize the Heaven-Mending Stone, taking in disciples now was actually harmful… but the Xu Family of Southern Heaven was ultimately a major family, and with Xu Jin under the Xu Family’s protection and Xu Yinglian’s care, she likely wouldn’t be involved too severely.
More importantly, he indeed had no reason not to take disciples at this point!
“How talented is this Xu Jin?” he asked with a smile, “as talented as my wife with the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart?”
Xu Yinglian’s face turned slightly red, and she said in a low voice:
“It is said that she has the talent of ‘Bright Mirror, Still Water.'”
The so-called Bright Mirror, Still Water refers to a heart like a bright mirror and actions like still water, serene and natural, which makes it easier to enter meditative concentration and the Dao—it’s a fairly rare cultivation talent, although not as rare as Daoist Heart Clarity and Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart.
“I see.” Qiu Changtian nodded, “Let’s talk after she completes the journey to heaven.”
The implication was that she must become an Inner Sect Disciple first.
Xu Yinglian nodded, then continued to use magic and a Flying Sword to furnish the dwelling.
Qiu Changtian, having nothing to do, left the dwelling to clear his mind outside.
Since the Golden Core True Person was promoted to Nascent Soul Elder, his original position as the Scripture Pavilion Overseer was naturally dismissed, and now he is in a state of having nothing to do, carefree and at ease.
Thinking back, ever since his promotion to Golden Core True Person, it seems he hadn’t been the librarian for that long either.
When the invasion of the Six Paths reached the Guanzhong Area, plunging it into a state of war, he jumped directly into the core leadership, starting to command the comrades of Kunlun in battle—That said, it does feel like a strangely familiar sensation.
Qiu Changtian was reflecting on the memories of the Golden Core Realm, when suddenly he saw Elder Sister Luo Baiyuan swiftly approaching on her Flying Sword from a distance.
Oh, it’s not appropriate to call her Elder Sister now—I’ve already graduated from Golden Core Realm, I ought to address her as Han Yuan True Person.
While Qiu Changtian was entangled with what to call her, Luo Baiyuan straightforwardly spoke:
“Elder Changgeng, congratulations on your ascension to Nascent Soul Realm.”
“It’s polite of you to say,” Qiu Changtian smiled and responded, “it was just a stroke of luck.”
“That…” Luo Baiyuan, also not adept at making small talk, struggled for a while before finally speaking hesitantly, “Our Luo Family has a cultivation seed next month…”
Qiu Changtian: ?
This sounds somewhat familiar…
“…named Luo Chuan, who reportedly has long admired your grand reputation, Elder Changgeng, and hopes to become your disciple, should he successfully attain the pathway to ascension,” Luo Baiyuan blurted out in one breath, then looked at him expectantly.
Qiu Changtian, after a moment of silence, asked:
“Why choose me?”
“Because of your widely admired grand reputation…” Luo Baiyuan replied vaguely, only to be immediately cut off by Qiu Changtian, “Let me call you Sister Han Yuan for now. What does ‘widely admired grand reputation’ even mean? This matter of accepting a disciple for spiritual cultivation concerns the future path and is crucially important—how can you just pick someone casually?”
“Hmm,” Luo Baiyuan pondered with a troubled look for a moment before finally conceding, “Alright, I’ll be honest: it’s the family hoping he could become your disciple.”
“Changgeng, the family is convinced you will definitely be the successor as the next Head of the Kunlun Sect, and perhaps even the most profound and powerful Head of Kunlun Sect in history.”
“Rather than having Luo Chuan disciple under the Ziwei Master, discipled under you would be far more beneficial for his Daoist path.”
This rationale indeed made sense: after all, the current Qiu Changtian is not just the heir apparent to the sect leader, but also a cultivator endowed with Daoist Heart Clarity, a practitioner of the Five Thunder True Law, holder of a First Grade Golden Core and Nascent Soul, whose future ascension grade is almost immeasurable, at least guaranteed to be a Daluo Golden Immortal extraordinary cultivator.
Though the Ziwei Master is the current Head of the Kunlun Sect, Qiu Changtian is inevitably going to possess the same status and power; what Ziwei Master doesn’t have now, Qiu Changtian might own in the future… Is there really any need to choose? Only a blind man or a fool would fail to see whom to choose as a master.

Qiu Changtian understood the crux and was somewhat speechless.
Who knew that even before becoming the Head of the Kunlun Sect, I’d already start competing with my master over disciples!
To prevent any misunderstandings and hard feelings, he had to consult his master, to avoid misinterpretations.
“I see, let’s talk about it next month.” He used the same pretext he used to pacify the Xu Family of Southern Heaven, and responded to Luo Baiyuan similarly.
After sending off Sister Luo, Qiu Changtian quickly thought of something:
With both the Xu Family and Luo Family taking action, could there be anyone in Kunlun who didn’t get the hint?
Those Kunlun Elders I’ve previously dealt with and who are familiar with me, are they possibly scrambling by now to push their descendants towards me?
What a joke! I am someone aiming to seize the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone, where do I have the time to nurture and take care of these Kunlun cultivation seeds for you!
He hastily controlled his Flying Sword and flew swiftly towards the Kunlun Heavenly Pillar, rushing into the Jade Void Palace, intending to discuss countermeasures with his master.
Upon entering the Scripture Lecture Hall where the Ziwei Master was located, Qiu Changtian was about to speak, when he saw the Ziwei Master on the nine-colored lotus platform, meditating with closed eyes, and slowly said:
“Changgeng, your timing is impeccable. Just now, an elder from our family came to me, saying we have a cultivation seed in the Ge Family, who has long admired your clear Daoist Heart…”
