Chapter 945: Chapter 945: Competing to Recruit a Disciple

"Indeed, not only is his talent exceptional, it’s downright defying the heavens!"

The Deputy Sect Master said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the Sect Master nodded with a smile, "I’m planning to take him as a closed-door disciple. What do you all think?"

Looking at everyone present, the Sect Master asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the people present were slightly taken aback, but quickly became relieved, considering that such a talented little kid would surely make the Sect Master interested, it was reasonable.

"Cough, Sect Master, I haven’t had a disciple in years, shouldn’t you hand him over to me?"

At this moment, the Deputy Sect Master asked with a smile.

Only the Deputy Sect Master could talk to the Sect Master in such a manner here, given that the Deputy Sect Master’s strength wasn’t far behind the Sect Master’s.

Moreover, when the Supreme Divine Sect was established, the ancestors of the Deputy Sect Master contributed greatly.

"You, I knew you’d fight me for him.

However, I’m worried that the cultivation technique you practice might not be suitable for this young man.

Alright, I’ll give you a hundred years; if within that time he can complete the first sword of the Defying Heaven Seven Demon Swords, he will be your disciple. If not, he will be mine. How about it?"

Looking at the Deputy Sect Master, the Sect Master asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the Deputy Sect Master frowned, and then couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

All these years he indeed hasn’t taken a disciple, but has nevertheless found plenty of good talents, though none could bear the title of disciple, no one had ever successfully cultivated his Defying Heaven Seven Demon Swords.

This resulted in him having no disciples.

The key issue is, the Defying Heaven Seven Demon Swords are exceedingly difficult; aside from the Deputy Sect Master’s lineage, no one else has succeeded in mastering them!

"Alright, then it’s set for a hundred years. If he hasn’t succeeded in his cultivation by then, this disciple will return to you."

The Deputy Sect Master spoke.

Even though he was a bit reluctant inside, there was no choice; if Lin Kuang couldn’t master his Defying Heaven Seven Demon Swords, what would be the point of accepting Lin Kuang?

He simply wished to prevent his legacy from going extinct, but the Defying Heaven Seven Demon Swords remained unmastered!

Upon hearing this, the Sect Master nodded with a smile, "Good, since that’s decided, it will be so.

Additionally, erase this part of the memory from those who witnessed everything, as you mentioned.

Furthermore, everyone present must remain tight-lipped and not reveal a word of this.

After all, it’s of great importance; those demons from beyond our Xuanwu Continent are indeed lurking within.

If they discover the little one’s potential, he could be in grave danger at any moment."

Looking at everyone present, the Sect Master spoke, his tone growing heavier.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded, their expressions solemn.

The primary enemies of the Xuanwu Continent are indeed those demons from outside, exceedingly hateful!

"Understood, I will handle this matter properly."

The Deputy Sect Master said with a serious expression.

"Very well, I’ll leave it to your capable hands.

Alright then, I’ll take my leave."

The Sect Master said with a smile.

The next moment, his figure vanished from the high seat before them, disappearing into thin air.

As they watched the Sect Master depart, everyone’s expressions turned somber.

"This is no small matter, Elder Ziche, you will need to personally attend to the affairs below."

Glancing at the elder beside him, the Deputy Sect Master spoke with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Elder Ziche nodded, "Don’t worry, Deputy Sect Master, I’ll handle it."

With that said, Elder Ziche’s figure instantly disappeared from the main hall.

Meanwhile, Lin Kuang walked leisurely up the stone steps.

Though the pressure around was considerable, Lin Kuang could endure it easily.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Kuang was only three steps from the top of the stone stairs.

The pressure from these three steps was immense, even Lin Kuang felt a powerful strain.

Of course, that was only pressure, as Lin Kuang steadily ascended to the peak!

At that moment, Lin Kuang’s figure appeared at the end of the stone stairs, atop the mountain.

A middle-aged man stood here, smiling as he led Lin Kuang away.

This middle-aged man hadn’t witnessed Lin Kuang traverse many steps, as the Deputy Sect Master forbade it, so naturally, he couldn’t see.

At this moment, Elder Ziche arrived at the foot of the mountain, and the young people there were dumbstruck upon seeing this.

For them, it was the first time witnessing someone reach the summit, incredibly shocking.

"Elder Ziche, how come you’re here?"

Seeing Elder Ziche, Elder Zimu rose hurriedly, speaking with considerable respect.

"Oh, it’s due to the commotion that little kid caused.

By the way, what’s his name?"

Looking at Elder Zimu, Elder Ziche asked with a smile.

"His name is Lin Kuang."

Elder Zimu replied hastily, his eyes brimming with barely concealed excitement.

Being able to recruit such a promising disciple in one’s lifetime thrilled Elder Zimu greatly.

"Lin Kuang? Indeed, this kid is quite insane."

Murmuring Lin Kuang’s name, Elder Ziche remarked with a smile.

The next moment, his gaze fell upon the young people.

Immediately afterward, Elder Ziche’s terrifying divine sense burst forth, enveloping all present.

When Elder Ziche’s sense enveloped them, these young people were left stunned, their eyes filled with fear, thinking Elder Ziche might do something to them.

At this moment, Elder Ziche’s powerful divine sense erased the scenes they had witnessed while simultaneously implanting a false image in their minds.

The image showed Lin Kuang laboriously reaching over seven thousand steps.

"Apologies, little ones, to prevent Lin Kuang from becoming a target of envy, some manipulation was necessary."

Elder Ziche thought to himself.

Retrieving his sense, Elder Ziche exchanged words with Elder Zimu, before vanishing and returning to the main hall.

Once Elder Ziche departed, the young people finally regained their composure, though a faint confusion lingered in their eyes.

"Incredible, this kid actually ascended seven thousand steps!"

Someone exclaimed, full of admiration toward Lin Kuang.

"Alas, it seems I’ve lost, those three high-grade Profound Crystals are gone."

Someone else lamented with some regret. ℯℯ𝑙.

Witnessing this, Elder Zimu smiled in satisfaction; in the next moment, his figure vanished, returning to the main hall as well.

At this moment, Lin Kuang was brought by the middle-aged man to join five young people.

"Young one, congratulations on passing the first trial. You now qualify to be a core disciple, but there’s a second trial, so you must strive!"

Looking at Lin Kuang, the middle-aged man said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lin Kuang quickly bowed and clasped his fist, "Thank you, senior. I will surely strive."

"Yes, wait for now."

The middle-aged man spoke again before turning to leave.
