Holy Lord's direct Disciple, Holy Son candidate!
Such an honor is akin to an instant rise to power!
But thinking of Chu Ge's profound fortune, monstrous talent, and the many benefits he brought to the Taihuang Holy Land even before officially becoming a Disciple, they immediately felt it was only natural.
Without daring to hesitate, the Great Powers immediately cupped their hands in response.
"We respectfully obey the Holy Lord's command!"
The Great Powers' attitude towards Chu Ge became increasingly friendly, their gazes gentle, and the new Disciples also showed expressions of admiration and reverence.
An instant rise to power; as new Disciples, Chu Ge had gone far ahead of them. His current status was a height they could never reach in their lifetime!
Only Ye Chen nearly gnashed his teeth.
'Holy Lord's direct Disciple, Holy Son candidate! All of this... it should have belonged to me! Chu Ge! You stole my opportunities, you stole everything that should have been mine!'
Many malicious thoughts arose in Ye Chen's heart, and even his eyes were tinged with a bloody red.
"Ding, Child of Destiny's mental state is damaged, Luck is lost. Host gains 6000 Villain Points."
Chu Ge smiled, his already handsome appearance now shining even brighter, causing Su Ling'er, who was talking to him, to feel a jolt and almost get lost in his smile.
........................
Night fell.
Taihuang Holy Land, Taihuang Hall.
This was the Holy Lord's usual residence, located in the center of the Taihuang Peaks.
As the Holy Lord's direct Disciple, Chu Ge naturally had the right to reside there.
Not only him, but Su Ling'er also had another residence within the Taihuang Hall.
Having sent away a few accompanying maids, Chu Ge lay on the bed, his mind empty.
His mood was far from as calm as he had appeared during the day.
'I just rose to power so quickly, becoming a Holy Lord's direct Disciple, and a candidate for the Taihuang Holy Son?'
Chu Ge still felt a sense of unreality.
But the comfortable bed, the grand and luxurious residence, and the rich spiritual energy permeating the entire Taihuang Hall all told Chu Ge that everything was real.
The entire Taihuang Holy Land now knew that a Disciple named Chu Ge had become the third direct Disciple of Taihuang Holy Lord Luo Huangjun!
And this news was rapidly spreading, along with everything that happened at the Spirit Testing Platform today.
Flawless Saint Body, Heaven and Earth Dao Manifestation, huanglong seal, the Taihuang Holy Lord and the Grand Elder fiercely clashed, making heaven and earth lose their color!
It could be said that by tomorrow morning, Chu Ge's name would be renowned throughout the entire continent!
His name would also enter the list of key figures of various forces.
Some rising prodigies from well-known major forces would also regard him as a future competitor!
Chu Ge not only rose to power instantly within the Taihuang Holy Land but also stepped onto the central stage of this cultivation world instantly!
However, he had only just officially embarked on the path of cultivation and still needed to grow, so he would not yet appear on this stage for now.
Having gained such attention and status, naturally, Chu Ge would also face numerous challenges in the near future!
"Overthinking is useless."
Chu Ge murmured softly, casting aside the various jumbled thoughts.
Perhaps there would be many challenges in the future, but he now possessed a flawless Saint Body and held an extremely high status.
He had talent, resources, status, backing, and even his connections had become extremely extensive due to the Heaven and Earth Dao Manifestation!
Everything other prodigies had, he now lacked nothing!
All he needed was just a little bit of time!
Given just a little time, he would be able to catch up, and even surpass them!
Moreover, he also had his greatest helper, which no one else possessed!
The System!
With so many advantages, Chu Ge feared no challenges or obstacles!
'It's nothing more than meeting soldiers with generals and floods with earth. With such a perfect start and the System by my side, what do I have to worry about?'
Thinking this, Chu Ge stopped overthinking.
His sudden sense of unreality and inexplicable anxiety and worry were simply due to not having transitioned from his previous mindset.
It would be one thing if he lacked confidence, but his confidence was more than sufficient!
Those who should be worried were his future opponents, not him, Chu Ge.
With a thought, Chu Ge summoned the System.
"System, what can I do with the Villain Points I currently have?"
Having accumulated a total of 26500 Villain Points from Ye Chen, Chu Ge did not intend to save them.
"Ding, the current amount of Villain Points can upgrade basic sections. Each basic section upgrade requires 10000 Villain Points."
Chu Ge raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
He had thought his over twenty thousand Villain Points were quite a lot, but he didn't expect an upgrade to cost ten thousand points. Upgrading all three basic sections once would require a full thirty thousand points.
"Then if I need to unlock new sections, how many Villain Points are required?"
"Random unlocking requires 100,000 Villain Points. Specific unlocking depends on the price."
"Specific? Are there any System sections like 'More Children, More Blessings'?"
Chu Ge's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Requires 1,000,000 points."
Never mind then.
Chu Ge's eyes returned to calm, without joy or sorrow, devoid of worldly desires.
After a moment of thought, Chu Ge had made his choice.
Based on his previous experience using the System's functions during the novice period.
Chu Ge's conclusion was that writing a diary gave the most generous rewards, followed by check-in, and finally punch-in.
However, considering that the rewards from the punch-in function would change depending on the location, perhaps the daily punch-in in the current Taihuang Holy Land would yield richer rewards than check-in.
As for the check-in function, the rewards would gradually increase depending on special check-in dates and continuous check-ins.
"System, consume Villain Points to upgrade the diary section and punch-in section."
Chu Ge issued the command to the System.
"Ding, Villain Points -20000. Current remaining Villain Points 6500. System sections are beginning to upgrade, estimated time two hours."
Chu Ge checked the time. In two hours, it would be midnight.
He took out the various books Luo Huangjun had prepared for him earlier.
These were not cultivation manuals or secret techniques, but books concerning cultivation common sense, history, and various other aspects.
Chu Ge had risen to power instantly, becoming a Holy Lord's direct Disciple, so his background and origins would certainly be investigated.
Luo Huangjun naturally knew that Chu Ge had lived in the Mortal world before and was extremely lacking in knowledge of the cultivation world, almost to the point of zero.
Therefore, she did not rush Chu Ge into cultivation but let him read related knowledge on his own.
It would not be too late to begin cultivation once Chu Ge had a clear initial understanding of the cultivation world and the path of cultivation.
Moreover, Chu Ge now also had decent cultivation. He was at the Aperture Opening Realm of the Third Level Heaven. In the three paths of essence, qi, and spirit, Chu Ge had opened 24 apertures in each path, totaling 72 apertures.
Ordinary Cultivators, when the total reaches 108 apertures, can prepare to break through to the next Realm.
However, this obviously did not apply to Chu Ge.
He was now a Holy Lord's direct Disciple, a proper Prodigy template, so naturally, the more apertures opened, the better.
Not to mention, his Shijie, Su Ling'er, who seemed a bit quirky, was a monstrous talent who had opened all 324 apertures across the three paths of essence, qi, and spirit.
For ordinary Aperture Opening Realm Cultivators, the initial opening of the three paths of essence, qi, and spirit is the Early Stage.
Opening 9 apertures in each of the three paths is the Middle Stage.
Opening 18 apertures in each of the three paths is the Late Stage.
Opening 36 apertures in each of the three paths, totaling 108 apertures, is considered reaching the Peak of this Realm, and one can begin preparing to break through to the next level.
But above the Peak, there is the minor Perfection of 216 apertures in total, with 72 apertures in each of the three paths of essence, qi, and spirit.
And the major Perfection Realm of 324 apertures, with 108 apertures in each of the three paths of essence, qi, and spirit!
This is the perfect and flawless Foundation!
And Su Ling'er was such a proud daughter of heaven who had forged a perfect and flawless Foundation!
Not only that, on top of this Perfection, she had also opened many hidden apertures.
Each hidden aperture was equivalent to the sum of dozens or even scores of ordinary apertures!
Furthermore, among the hidden apertures, there were individual special existences that contained many miraculous effects and could be used as trump cards, truly endless in their utility!
Chu Ge's small goal was to likewise forge the perfect and flawless Realm of the Aperture Opening Realm, and then, on that basis, open as many hidden apertures as possible.
In short, with his current resources and status, he certainly could not fall behind others.
