“Chosen?”
Qin Xuan raised his eyebrows, a light flashing in his eyes.
He had heard these Elders say before that Personal Disciples were selected through some method.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan looked up and gazed forward.
As the Grand Elder's voice fell, the three Elders of the Inner Sect stood up in unison, then each took out a fragmented circular disk.
Silver light flickered on the disk.
The three of them pieced the fragmented disks together.
“Boom!”
As the disk was fully assembled, a ray of light surged out from it.
A moment later, the disk fell to the ground, transforming into a massive Formation.
Points of light flickered on the Formation, and after a while, these lights condensed into mountain peaks.
This is…
Qin Xuan was stunned, looking at the mountain peaks formed by these lights, he suddenly realized.
These mountain peaks were precisely the images of the Twelve Main Peaks.
However, at this moment, only five of these Twelve Main Peaks were lit up, while the other seven were dim.
“These twelve mountain peaks are our Inner Sect’s Twelve Peaks, corresponding to our twelve True Disciples. As you can see, the five lit-up peaks are the five Main Peaks that currently have Personal Disciples.”
Hearing this, Qin Xuan suddenly understood.
So that’s how it is.
“There are still seven Main Peaks. To become a Personal Disciple, you need to gain the recognition of these other seven Main Peaks. Only by gaining the Main Peak’s recognition can you become a Personal Disciple.”
The Grand Elder explained from the side.
“And the Disciple who gains the Main Peak’s recognition can obtain the Legacy of that Main Peak.”
“Next, you will try to communicate with the mountain spirit of the Main Peak using your Mental Energy!”
mountain spirit?
Qin Xuan was taken aback, somewhat unsure what this meant.
Do mountains also have sentience?
Qin Xuan was a bit unclear, a flicker of doubt in his eyes.
“It seems none of you know, so let me explain.”
The Grand Elder stroked his beard, then began to explain to Qin Xuan and the others.
“Our Azure Green Sect’s Twelve Main Peaks correspond to twelve Legacies. Each peak’s Legacy is different, and every Inner Sect Disciple of a peak can obtain that peak’s Legacy.”
“However, this Legacy is incomplete; ordinary Inner Sect Disciples can only obtain a partial Legacy. Only True Disciples can obtain the corresponding complete Legacy.”
“Therefore, during the Sect’s most prosperous era, the Twelve Main Peaks corresponded to twelve True Disciples!”
The Grand Elder spoke, a hint of nostalgia in his own voice, though he had never witnessed such a flourishing era.
“And to become a True Disciple is to gain the acknowledgment of the mountain spirit. This jade disk is the means to communicate with the mountain spirit!”
The Grand Elder then motioned for Lu Peng and Qin Xuan to try communicating with the mountain spirit of this Main Peak.
“Try to communicate with the mountain spirit using your Mental Energy. When your Mental Energy enters the jade disk, you will feel the mountain spirit!”
“You will understand what the mountain spirit truly is.”
The Grand Elder stretched out his hand, pointing forward.
Looking at the Formation, Qin Xuan was about to use his Mental Energy to communicate with it, when suddenly, Lu Peng rushed ahead of him and poured his Mental Energy into the Formation.
“Heh, let me see!”
Lu Peng said, giving Qin Xuan a cold glance.
As his Mental Energy entered the Formation, the Formation immediately glowed brightly.
At the same time, a humanoid phantom appeared within the Formation.
It seemed this was Lu Peng’s Mental Energy projection.
As Lu Peng’s Mental Energy continuously explored inside, the unlit mountain peaks seemed to glow.
Points of light moved towards Lu Peng’s Mental Energy projection, and a moment later, lights illuminated on these mountain peaks, then projected towards Lu Peng.
“He was actually chosen by six Main Peaks simultaneously!”
The many Elders present immediately stared at Lu Peng in astonishment.
Climbing nine steps and activating five light pillars, this person indeed had the possibility of being chosen by a Main Peak to become a Personal Disciple.
But being simultaneously favored by the mountain spirits of six Main Peaks was something they had never imagined.
“This is truly a blessing for our Azure Green Sect!”
Several Elders looked at Lu Peng in unison, a flash of admiration in their eyes.
“Alright, since you’ve been chosen by six Main Peaks, you can choose the Main Peak you wish to join based on the results of your communication with the mountain spirits.”
The Grand Elder said with a pleasant expression.
Lu Peng, beside him, was overjoyed and immediately nodded, beginning to choose the Main Peak he desired.
A moment later, Lu Peng pointed to the most dazzling Main Peak in the Formation.
“Elders, I wish to become a True Disciple of this Main Peak.”
After making his choice, Lu Peng looked at Qin Xuan triumphantly.
Being simultaneously chosen by the mountain spirits of six Main Peaks had already proven his ability.
As long as this Qin Xuan couldn't communicate with the mountain spirits, he would be the undisputed number one Inner Sect Disciple!
And he would also be a True Disciple who could possess his own Immortal Cave!
Thinking of this, the look in his eyes when he gazed at Qin Xuan grew even more smug.
“Young friend, it’s your turn!”
The Grand Elder also looked at Qin Xuan with a smile at this moment.
Given Qin Xuan’s performance, in his opinion, he could also easily gain the mountain spirit’s recognition.
This way, the Azure Green Sect could gain two more True Disciples. Thinking of this, the Grand Elder grew even more excited.
After so many years, the Sect finally had a chance for revival!
Qin Xuan took a deep breath, then solidified his Mental Energy and poured it into the Formation.
As his Mental Energy entered the Formation, the light within the entire Formation instantly became incredibly dazzling!
Looking at the Formation, the people around immediately became filled with anticipation.
“Boom!”
In Qin Xuan’s eyes, he felt as if he was in an incredibly massive ball of light, and around him, twelve towering mountain peaks pressed down on him like Mount Tai.
This was pressure from Mental Energy!
“Hmph!”
Qin Xuan snorted coldly, instantly using his Mental Energy to resist!
“Boom!”
The Mental Energy of the twelve mountain peaks instantly transformed into giant beasts, roaring towards Qin Xuan.
These were giant beasts formed by mountain spirits; ordinary people simply couldn't withstand this Mental Energy suppression.
However, for Qin Xuan, he was naturally fearless!
His Sea of Consciousness had already undergone Awakening, and Mental Energy suppression had no effect on him!
Without hesitation, Qin Xuan immediately used the Surprise Spirit Stab to suppress the mountain spirits’ Mental Energy!
What a joke, how could he be suppressed by the Mental Energy of these mountain spirits?
Qin Xuan’s Surprise Spirit Stab instantly tore apart several giant beasts formed by the mountain spirits’ Mental Energy.
“Oh?”
Outside the Formation, the Grand Elder suddenly frowned at this moment.
He hadn't expected Qin Xuan’s Mental Energy to be so powerful, tearing apart all the mountain spirits’ Mental Energy in the Formation.
He knew how strong these mountain spirits’ Mental Energy was.
But for such powerful Mental Energy to be instantly torn apart by Qin Xuan’s Mental Energy, for him, this was simply unimaginable.
After all, even most Elders couldn't withstand a single blow from the mountain spirits’ Mental Energy, let alone tear it apart.
And as Qin Xuan tore apart the mountain spirits’ Mental Energy, five more Main Peaks lit up in the Formation.
Aside from the Main Peak already chosen by Lu Peng, the other five Main Peaks also chose Qin Xuan.
“Five Main Peaks!”
This time, the Grand Elder was much calmer.
After all, Lu Peng had attracted the choice of so many Main Peaks, so it was even more so for Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan had caused the Nine Dragons Ascending the Sun phenomenon.
This was already enough to prove his strength.
Such a Genius would naturally attract the attention of the Main Peaks.
Moreover, several of these Main Peaks had not chosen a True Disciple for a very long time.
“Oh?”
Just as Qin Xuan was looking at the Main Peaks in the Formation, he suddenly noticed that among these Twelve Main Peaks, only one had remained unlit from beginning to end.
Whether it was Lu Peng’s or Qin Xuan’s Mental Energy appearing in the Formation, this Main Peak always remained unresponsive.
Could it be that his own abilities weren’t enough to meet the requirements of this Main Peak?
Qin Xuan frowned, feeling a little strange.
After all, he had already undergone the Awakening of his Sea of Consciousness, and his Physical Body was nourished by Yellow Dragon Blood.
In his opinion, no matter how strict the Azure Green Sect’s selection process was, with his talent, he could absolutely crush others.
But this Main Peak hadn't chosen him, which naturally made Qin Xuan feel a bit strange.
Not only that, the mountain spirit of this Main Peak had not appeared from beginning to end, which left Qin Xuan very puzzled.
“Alright, which Main Peak do you wish to join, and become its Personal Disciple?”
The Grand Elder said with a smile.
For him, today was truly exciting.
Two Disciples who ascended nine steps; if nurtured well, their future prospects would surely be limitless.
Thinking of this, the Grand Elder could barely close his mouth from smiling.
“Thank you, Elder!”
Qin Xuan said, about to reach out and point to one of the Main Peaks, but at that moment, he suddenly stopped.
The mountain spirit of that Main Peak, which had been unresponsive, actually moved!
