Lu Changsheng, Daoist Earth Hound returned to Mount Shu.
The news of Mount Shu recruiting Elders and disciples spread across a million miles, attracting numerous cultivators who admired the name.
One after another, figures on Sword Flight drew near to Mount Shu.
“Get out of the way, and don’t block my path. I will be a Mount Shu Elder in the future.”
As Lu Changsheng and Daoist Earth Hound approached the mountain gate, an arrogant Loose Cultivator flying on his sword, pushed past Lu Changsheng, Daoist Earth Hound, and other Loose Cultivators gathered at the gate to register.
“What strong presence, this is a Heavenly Immortal!”
“No way? A Heavenly Immortal is actually choosing to join Mount Shu? With the skills of a Heavenly Immortal Realm expert, joining the Divine Lightning Sect would at least secure an Elder position, and over time, there’s a chance to become a Supreme Elder.”
“Haven’t you heard of the Mysterious Fire Daoist? He possesses a special physique known as the ‘Mysterious Fire Physique.’ It’s said that he was gravely injured by the Green Ox King, nearly losing his life. Most likely it’s because Daoist Changsheng killed the King of Chaos, the Green Ox King, who was like a half-benefactor to him, that’s why he chose to join Mount Shu.”
“So it’s the Mysterious Fire Daoist. He’s a somewhat famous Loose Cultivator around these parts. I didn’t expect to meet such a renowned figure.”
Many Loose Cultivators cast their respectful gazes.
A Heavenly Immortal Realm expert may not be rare, but still esteemed enough to have a temper.
Mysterious Fire Daoist, relying on his unique physique, acted arrogantly.
Disciples guarding the mountain gate, even Elder Luo who was responsible for registering for the recruitment event, hurriedly came forward to welcome him.
Mysterious Fire Daoist said, “Although I, Mysterious Fire Daoist, have a bit of a reputation, there’s no need for Mount Shu to treat me so courteously…”
Unexpectedly, Elder Luo and the Mount Shu disciples passed by Mysterious Fire Daoist and greeted Lu Changsheng, who had returned to Mount Shu, “We welcome the Sect Leader back to the mountain.”
Mount Shu Sect Leader?!
Mysterious Fire Daoist and the Loose Cultivators gathered at the mountain gate were shocked.
Is this the Mount Shu Sect Leader who killed the King of Chaos?
Mysterious Fire Daoist also quickly changed his previous arrogance, hurriedly apologizing to Lu Changsheng, “I am the Mysterious Fire Daoist, I was truly presumptuous. I spoke too loudly just now and offended the Sect Leader. I hope the Sect Leader will forgive me. I wish to take the Sect Leader as my master and hope you will accept me!”
Wow.
The Loose Cultivators present were astonished.
Mysterious Fire Daoist, a well-known Loose Immortal and a Heavenly Immortal Realm expert, was now so humbly asking to become a disciple of the Mount Shu Sect Leader.
But people quickly understood.
If the Mount Shu Sect Leader could defeat a Great Accomplishment Golden Immortal Realm figure like the King of Chaos, then he could very well be an Immortal Emperor.
A Heavenly Immortal begging an Immortal Emperor to take him as a disciple, isn’t that quite reasonable?
Lu Changsheng merely glanced at Mysterious Fire Daoist and then indifferently said, “Your aptitude is not sufficient.”
Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator demands high quality in disciples’ aptitudes. It either has to be Dragon Emperor Bloodline or possess Demonic Ancestor Body, War Heaven Tyrant Body, Body of Nothingness. Mere Mysterious Fire Physique doesn’t meet the requirements of Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator.
Lu Changsheng already had ten direct disciples, and a dog, and he truly had no energy to take on direct disciples with ordinary aptitudes.
“My aptitude isn’t sufficient?”
Mysterious Fire Daoist was stunned.
He was already a Heavenly Immortal with the potential to hit the Golden Immortal Realm, yet Lu Changsheng deemed his aptitude insufficient after just a glance?
Other cultivators present also found it unbelievable—was the Mount Shu Sect Leader’s standards too high? Even a Heavenly Immortal with a special physique wasn’t qualified to be his disciple?
Little did they know, all of Lu Changsheng’s direct disciples had the aptitude to become Immortal Emperors. Mysterious Fire Daoist might reach the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm but might not necessarily become an Immortal Emperor.
Between the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm and the Emperor Level, the Chaos Heavenly Tribulation has caused many a Golden Immortal to fall; not even one out of ten Great Accomplishment Golden Immortals might become an Immortal Emperor.
“If you participate in the recruitment event, you should be able to become one of our Mount Shu Elders. If I have some leisure, I might give you some pointers. My disciples are also qualified to guide your cultivation.”
Considering that Mount Shu had just started gaining some fame in the Immortal Realm, and Mysterious Fire Daoist had some strength, Lu Changsheng could still offer him some incentive to join Mount Shu.
Afterward, Lu Changsheng took Daoist Earth Hound with him and returned to the main peak for cultivation.
As for the preparation work for the recruitment event, it was handed over to Grandmaster Taixu.
This recruitment event had stirred up Loose Cultivators from a million miles around, and the number of Loose Cultivators who came to participate continued relentlessly, with several hundreds of thousands ranging from the Golden Core Realm to the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, all hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
These Loose Cultivators all heard that Mount Shu Sect Leader, Daoist Changsheng, was an Immortal Emperor, and the conditions for joining Mount Shu were much more lenient than those of the Holy Land, naturally attracting a large number of Loose Cultivators.
“Mount Shu…”
Among them, an old man with white hair and beard, carrying three slender swords on his back, blended with these Loose Cultivators. His eyes were as sharp as swords, causing other cultivators to naturally steer clear of him.
With powerful individuals like Mysterious Fire Daoist participating in Mount Shu’s recruitment event, the gathering was full of hidden masters; nobody knew whether there were other high-level cultivators, so it was best not to offend anyone.
“Young Sect Leader, our Ancient Yun Family has been in decline for some time. After a few more generations, we might fade into obscurity. We cannot join the Holy Lands, but it is said that the Mount Shu Sect Leader is an Immortal Emperor. As long as you can take him as a master and learn his skills, our Yun Family may be able to rise step by step.”
An old servant accompanied a young lord to Mount Shu, surveying the bustling crowd filled with hope.
“Rest assured, with my Yun Xuan’s aptitude, I will definitely be taken as a direct disciple.”
The young lord was full of confidence.
“People from Unparalleled City have arrived!”
“How come the people from Unparalleled City are here as well? Aren’t they a rather famous sect?”
