Chapter 624: The Forbidden Zone Scared Out of Its Wits, Ancient Emperor Becomes Senior Disciple Brother (2/7, please subscribe)
Mount Bu Si.
"Zhang Taixuan has become even more terrifying!"
"Good thing we didn't go over!"
"And just how does that old fellow Ancient Emperor Qilin dare go over? Isn't he afraid of dying?"
"Uh... aren't we just measuring a gentleman's belly with a petty person's heart? At this distance, if Zhang Taixuan wanted to make trouble for us, wouldn't it be very simple?"
As the words fell, the many Ancient Emperors and Heavenly Venerables who had each slashed themselves once were all startled, a sense of crisis rising in their hearts.
The next moment, several forbidden zones rose from thin air and vanished into the void.
In just a moment, only the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone remained in the Northern Dipper.
"The forbidden zones have all flown away!"
"The Great Accomplishment Hegemon Body was sealed without any resistance at all — how would those Ancient Emperors and Heavenly Venerables dare stay any longer?"
Zhang Taixuan watched everything with his own eyes, but did not take it to heart.
These Ancient Emperors and Heavenly Venerables were all kings of the old era, not worth worrying about.
This era was destined to have no place for them.
His gaze fell upon the Path of Questioning the Heart, and a smile appeared on his face.
"No wonder so many big shots like taking disciples — raising them is really quite interesting."
Watching one heaven-chosen after another be cultivated by oneself — isn't that a great sense of accomplishment?
After seven days, three thousand people finally ascended to the summit of Mount Taixuan.
"How unfair. Why is it that with my better talent, I didn't reach the summit, while the good-for-nothing from my clan did?"
"Not convinced? Go find Dao Lord Taixuan, then!"
"Perhaps the Dao Lord believes perseverance is more important than physique?"
As the selection ended, the others were teleported to the foot of the mountain. Wanting to climb again, they discovered they could no longer set foot on the Path of Questioning the Heart.
Thinking again of Zhang Taixuan's terror, in the end, no one dared try again, and could only leave with unwillingness in their hearts.
Mountain summit.
Zhang Taixuan looked at the crowd and noticed a flash of bewilderment in some of their eyes.
These people's physiques were not good — one could call them good-for-nothings.
They themselves did not understand why they had passed the selection, claiming one precious slot out of three thousand.
"With our talent so useless, is it good or bad to have joined the Taixuan Sect?"
Having climbed to the summit in one go and achieved success, they now began to doubt their own talent instead.
"The fact that you could climb Mount Taixuan means your perseverance and blessed fate are both top-grade — you are fated to become disciples of the Taixuan Sect." Zhang Taixuan looked at the crowd. "As for so-called physique and talent, those are floating clouds. The holy bodies and divine bodies pursued by the myriad races of the universe are, to me, things that can be obtained with a casual flick."
"You are destined to be the heaven-chosen of this era!"
Talent and physique can be changed after birth, but blessed fate and perseverance are hard to forge afterward.
Compared to cultivating soft, hollow geniuses, Zhang Taixuan actually preferred to cultivate people with perseverance.
His gaze fell upon the painting that suppressed the Hegemon Body, and with a turn of thought, a heart method appeared in his mind.
With a wave of his sleeve, streams of light flew out and sank into the brows of the three thousand disciples.
"The Heaven Hegemon Body Condensation Method? With this method, ordinary people can also become Hegemon Bodies?!"
"This... physiques can actually be condensed into existence after birth — the Ancestral Master is truly too powerful!"
The crowd looked at Zhang Taixuan, their eyes filled with shock and worship, in no short supply.
"This Hegemon Body Condensation Method can be considered an entry reward. As for cultivation techniques, once you have chosen your cave dwelling, come back here to receive them." Zhang Taixuan deliberated, then looked toward Ancient Emperor Qilin. "Huo Xuan, although you slashed yourself once, you did not harm living beings to extend your life. Born as an extreme-path powerhouse of the mortal world, to be able to restrain your greed is truly rare."
"From this day forth, you are the First Generation Senior Disciple Brother of the Taixuan Sect. As your master, I personally grant you a wisp of immortal qi to extend your lifespan. As for your son and daughter, they may also join the Taixuan Sect and become Second Generation disciples!"
"Many thanks, Master!" Huo Xuan was shocked and hurriedly bowed.
Zhang Taixuan waved a hand, and immediately a wisp of immortal qi, condensed to the extreme, materialized before Huo Xuan.
Huo Xuan hurriedly received it, sealing it with the laws of the Imperial Dao.
