Chapter 151

Otherwise, if he always had to show up himself, what a miserable Saint he'd be.

As for Master Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu, with so many disciples, their students are also numerous.

So for the beings of Mount Kunlun, wanting to become a Saint's disciple, the main choices are still the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect.

But the Chan Sect judges by one's origins.

If your origins are strong enough, you were probably already taken in by Master Yuanshi Tianzun long ago.

So for many beings of Mount Kunlun, the Jie Sect may be the only option.

Even if some beings of Mount Kunlun are special, those who can pass Tongtian Jiaozhu's scrutiny are exceedingly rare.

A Saint's disciple, even if not a direct disciple, still has certain requirements.

This time's observation of the experts' battle holds great significance for many.

Exactly so.

No one will miss this Cisan Sect contest.

More importantly, the treasures offered in this Cisan Sect contest are better than in previous ones—even if you win first place in a Jin Xian-level battle, you may make a specific request of each of the three Saints.

As for why there are no Taiyi Jin Xian.

Let's put it this way: whether direct disciples of the Chan Sect or the Jie Sect, all are only at the Jin Xian level; no one has yet reached the Taiyi Jin Xian realm.

Moreover, becoming a Taiyi Jin Xian isn't necessarily a good thing.

If only you were alone, how could you enter the contest?

Even if there were only a handful, the Saints wouldn't hold a Cisan Sect contest for disciples at that realm.

This time, it's because most disciples between the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect are at the Jin Xian level, so the three Saints arranged it this way.

When Luo Fu arrived at Mount Kunlun, he went directly to the contest site.

There, Daoist Duobao, Jin Ling Shengmu, and other direct disciples of the Jie Sect, along with similar direct disciples of the Chan Sect, had all arrived.

"Younger brother Luo Fu, you've come," Daoist Duobao called out, seeing Luo Fu appear.

Luo Fu smiled, his figure flickering as he appeared beside Daoist Duobao.

"Younger brother Luo Fu, long time no see—you're truly a cultivation fanatic. Just after hearing the Master's lecture, you immediately went into seclusion again," Jin Ling Shengmu said with a smile.

"Yes, Younger brother Luo Fu, I was hoping to spend some time bonding with you," Jin Ling Shengmu also chuckled.

"Younger brother Luo Fu, this Cisan Sect contest—I'll have your back," Wu Dang Shengmu said.

Facing Luo Fu, Tongtian's several direct disciples all wore warm smiles.

Unlike other disciples, they knew well how much their Master Tongtian favored Luo Fu.

Not to mention, even without that, Daoist Duobao, Jin Ling, and other direct disciples weren't the type to judge by appearances.

They certainly wouldn't look down on Luo Fu.

"Older brother Duobao, Elder sister Jin Ling, Elder sister Wu Dang, Elder sister Gui Ling…" Luo Fu bowed, then sighed helplessly, "I've just broken through to Jin Xian—I must work hard. If not for this Cisan Sect contest, I'd still be in seclusion."

"You…," Jin Ling Shengmu laughed, "There aren't many who cultivate as hard as you—you're a genuine cultivation fanatic."

"If I don't work hard, I won't catch up to Elder sister," Luo Fu said.

"Hahaha, then I'll watch—when will you catch up to me?" Jin Ling Shengmu patted Luo Fu like an elder sister, "When your strength surpasses mine, I'll leave myself in your care—you must protect me well."

"Elder sister, I will," Luo Fu said seriously.

"Hahahaha…" Hearing Luo Fu's serious words, Jin Ling Shengmu burst into laughter.

Far away.

Disciples of the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect had also seen Luo Fu land here.

They began whispering among themselves.

"See that? That's Luo Fu—they say he's a new disciple taken in by Tongtian Saint."

"Yes, I'm so envious—they say Luo Fu was once just an ordinary Jie Sect disciple, but got lucky and was taken as a disciple by the Saint. I wonder when I'll get such luck."

"Luck? I've heard about Luo Fu's situation—he broke directly from Mid Stage Mystic Immortal to Jin Xian, and that's what caught the Saint's attention."

"Breaking from Mid Stage Mystic Immortal to Jin Xian? That's nothing—too many on Mount Kunlun can do that."

"That's not it—they say he was originally only Mid Stage Mystic Immortal, leapt two realms to become Jin Xian, and even drew a terrifying Heavenly Lei Jie."

"Maybe the Saint made a mistake—I heard this Luo Fu only attended one year of the Saint's lectures; the Jie Sect's former direct disciples didn't get that status so quickly."

"If that's true, then this Luo Fu isn't special after all."

"Right—he's just lucky. Maybe one day Tongtian Saint will strip Luo Fu of his direct disciple status."

"Is he coming here to join the Cisan Sect contest?"

"Impossible—he only became Jin Xian a few years ago; he's probably just here to watch, like us."

Disciples of the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect exchanged the rumors they'd heard.

Undoubtedly.

In the eyes of many sect disciples, Luo Fu was merely a case of the Saint's mistake.

Luo Fu could catch a few of these whispers, but he dismissed them with contempt.

Those who gossip behind backs are merely failures.

"These disciples," Daoist Duobao's gaze turned cold, tinged with anger.

Jin Ling, Gui Ling, Wu Dang, and the others also felt a flicker of anger.

As for Chan Sect disciples, they might not be able to control them—but for Jie Sect disciples to whisper like this, it angered them.

After all, Luo Fu was their younger brother, and the Master's direct disciple.

He wasn't someone Jie Sect disciples could gossip about.

"Older brother, Elder sisters, don't pay them any mind," Luo Fu shook his head with a smile. "Strength is the best proof."

"Besides, in my eyes, they're just failures."

"You..." Daoist Duobao nodded, and though he did not reprimand the Jie Sect disciples, they were already etched in the mind of this favored senior disciple.
