Chapter 273 Blazing Sun Immortal Venerable
"Is this the Star Sea?" Unlike the feeling of his feet touching the ground before, Cheng Jiu had a strong sense of emptiness.
This feeling is different from the grand formation of the Cloud Soaring Sect. The former is within the scope of human cognition, while the latter has transcended human cognition. There is no fear, only a sense of insignificant loneliness.
"After all these years, someone has finally come to my rescue!"
In the empty space, a voice whose gender was indiscernible suddenly rang out, seemingly close to her ear, yet also seemingly far away, the vibrations of the sound penetrating through the air stimulating her eardrums.
The space was empty, but Cheng Jiu had a strong feeling of being watched and spied on.
"Tsk!"
He let out a slightly frustrated pep talk.
Cheng Jiu felt she hadn't misheard; she could hear the other person's frustration and confusion. What was wrong?
"Finally, I found someone I liked, but it turns out they're already taken!"
The voice was filled with indignation. Damn it, how come the successor he chose was marked with that old bastard Cang Jiyue's mark!
Since it's been marked, he can't accept it. How awful!
The duck he painstakingly selected has flown away!
Then he thought of the second trial he designed. That old Netherworld Beast must have seen through it, yet it still let her pass! It definitely wanted to see him make a fool of himself!
Upon hearing her second master's name, Cheng Jiu feigned ignorance! This person wanted to take her as a disciple, wow!
Cheng Jiu wasn't surprised. What was going on?
After all, she had a vague suspicion from the previous trials, but now that it was confirmed, so be it.
I suddenly feel like I'm having pretty good luck with my mentor!
After learning that she bore the mark of her second master, the owner of the voice decisively gave up on taking her as a disciple.
He's not that degrading; he still has his own dignity! Sooner or later, he'll be able to find a disciple who only wants him as their master.
Cheng Jiu's wish to take on a disciple was shattered, but the Blazing Sun Immortal Venerable did not let him leave empty-handed.
Cheng Jiu felt the sound pause for a moment, then echoed back in the space.
The Blazing Sun Immortal Venerable gave Cheng Jiu two choices. The first was to leave directly. As a reward for reaching him, the Blazing Sun Immortal Venerable would give Cheng Jiu two rewards.
Whether it's cultivation level, techniques, or rare and precious materials, Cheng Jiu has a choice to make.
The other is the original intention of the Blazing Sun Immortal Venerable in initiating this inheritance, a cultivation technique created by the Blazing Sun Immortal Venerable.
Given his status and strength, if he truly wanted to take on disciples, there would be plenty of geniuses willing to submit to him. However, he has never had such thoughts since he began cultivating.
Why would someone personally design such a trial? This question goes back hundreds of thousands of years.
Cheng Jiu listened as the Blazing Sun Immortal Venerable recounted the grudges from hundreds of thousands of years ago.
It was an ancient war about the Dao Fruit, in a primitive space where the world had not yet been opened.
The Great Dao manifests itself; it is a world deeply favored by the Great Dao. As soon as this world opens, it can directly ascend to the top-tier world.
This also means being able to get up close to the Great Dao in this still undeveloped and ignorant world.
This attracted countless powerful individuals from all over the world, who engaged in a war that lasted for tens of thousands of years in order to compete for the Dao Fruit bestowed by the Great Dao.
Alliances, betrayals—everyone vying for power is both an opponent and a teammate. Every moment is filled with murderous intent. You can never be sure if your teammate will betray you, but the lone wolf is destined to be the first to perish.
In the end, countless powerful beings perished, becoming nourishment for the creation of the new world, while the Blazing Sun Immortal Venerable was one of the final victors.
This cultivation method was derived from the Dao Fruit he obtained; it was his hard work and the first book of insights he could pass on, much like his child.
However, this cultivation method originates from the Dao Fruit, and he is also a general who is skilled in killing.
When he held a banquet and proudly introduced this version of the technique to the guests, he was unsurprisingly ridiculed.
Just thinking about that scene makes the Blazing Sun Immortal Venerable's teeth itch.
In particular, his arch-rival Lei Long deliberately teamed up with several guests at the banquet to criticize his martial arts techniques as utterly worthless.
They say his technique is utter nonsense, that no one can actually cultivate it, and that an uncultivable technique is no better than toilet paper!
How could the Blazing Sun Immortal Venerable be willing to be mocked by the Thunder Dragon like this? You have to understand that they have clashed countless times, and every time the Blazing Sun Immortal Venerable has the upper hand. He usually doesn't take this guy seriously at all.
As a result, he proudly showed off his skills, only to be ridiculed by those who looked down on him!
The Blazing Sun Immortal Lord felt deeply insulted.
He was determined to find a master for his cultivation technique, but he wasn't against taking anyone he liked as a disciple, so he specially set up this trial.
Each of these five trials was carefully selected by him, but unfortunately, over the years, very few have reached him, and even fewer have caught his eye.
Everyone who left unanimously chose rare and precious materials, showing absolutely no trust in the cultivation techniques he presented.
How can someone who doesn't even trust his master become his disciple?
So for so many years, the Blazing Sun Immortal Venerable has not received a disciple he desires, nor has he found a master for his cultivation technique, and the inheritance has been preserved in this way.
At first, they searched for geniuses in the big world, but when they couldn't find any, they gradually turned to the small world.
Cheng Jiu thus became the first genius in so many years to pass all the challenges.
Unfortunately, she already had a mark on her body, so the Blazing Sun Immortal Venerable could not take her as a disciple. Therefore, the Blazing Sun Immortal Venerable had no qualms about telling Cheng Jiu these inside stories.
He simply didn't believe that Cheng Jiu's little world could produce another genius who could overcome all the challenges!
If there is one, Cheng Jiu also told him that it is the other person's fate!
Cultivators have always been the most believers in fate and the least believers in fate!
Cheng Jiu weighed the pros and cons and decided that the first option, which was a sure thing, would bring him a profit.
The second one, although invented by such a powerful immortal, was the first to cultivate it, and it is still unknown whether this technique has any side effects.
But precisely because it was invented by such a powerful immortal, this technique must be extraordinary, with great risks and great rewards.
Which one should she choose?
