Chapter 27: My Destiny Disciple of Saint Tongtian! Even Sages Are Inferior!

Above the void.

As Luo Fu continued expanding his absorption, devouring the spiritual energy of Mount Kunlun.

Laozi, Yuanshi, and Saint Tongtian stood in the heavens, gazing at Luo Fu as he devoured boundless spiritual energy.

The appearance of these three sages.

Luo Fu did not sense them, nor did Guang Chengzi, Duobao, and others.

For sages, hiding their presence and aura was an effortless matter.

If a sage did not wish to be found, even a Semi-Sage could not detect them.

The gap between a sage and a non-sage was immense, immense.

"Incredible absorption power," Laozi said, a faint smile in his eyes. "His aura carries not only Saint Tongtian's Shangqing Sacred Law, but also the essence of the Golden Core Path I once passed down."

The Golden Core Path Laozi passed to humanity also contained fragments of the Taiqing Sacred Law's mysteries.

Of course, to suit humanity, Laozi had modified and trimmed the Golden Core Path.

"It seems my disciple has created a cultivation art of his own," Saint Tongtian said slowly.

Creating a cultivation art at just the Mystic Immortal Realm meant nothing.

But from a sage's perspective, the art Luo Fu, this human, created was no ordinary art.

Even in the eyes of sages, the fluctuations of Luo Fu's current art were utterly unthinkable, terrifying.

"Tongtian brother, this human Luo Fu isn't merely creating a cultivation art—he has infused it with a primordial fluctuation," Laozi exclaimed. "A Mystic Immortal being touching even a thread of primordial power? This is inconceivable. Even we, in our youth, likely could not have achieved it."

"Correct," Tongtian nodded. "In the past, this human Luo Fu was unremarkable. Who knew he was accumulating strength for a sudden breakthrough."

"Hah! Brother, you've gained another excellent disciple," Laozi laughed heartily.

"Sagehood is not so easily attained," Master Yuanshi said coolly. "For this human, the most important thing now is to breakthrough to the Jin Xian Realm."

"Brother Yuanshi, I see you're envious," Laozi chuckled, glancing at his brother.

"..." Master Yuanshi's face darkened, saying nothing.

No need to say it.

Laozi's elder brother was right—he truly was envious.

For this human carried a touch of special destiny energy, which might let him go further.

As for breaking through to the Jin Xian Realm.

According to the sages' calculations, this human had a high chance.

Precisely because of this.

Did this human appear even more astonishing.

"Tongtian brother, though Luo Fu absorbs such vast spiritual energy, he uses it with not a single drop wasted—perfect utilization," Laozi's eyes narrowed. "His talent must be extraordinary—truly a case of accumulated strength erupting."

Even someone like Daoist Duobao, absorbing spiritual energy as immense as Luo Fu's now, could never achieve such perfection.

Absorbing such vast spiritual energy—if you lose control even slightly, cultivation may halt, or you may be severely injured by backlash.

Clearly, Luo Fu had achieved perfect balance.

Normally, a Mystic Immortal could never accomplish this—even the Three Pure Ones, placed in his position, could not reach this level.

"Correct," Tongtian's eyes gleamed strangely. "This human Luo Fu is no ordinary being. Perhaps I, Saint Tongtian, will gain another direct disciple."

Remember, Tongtian's Jie Sect had already taken four direct disciples: Duobao, Jin Ling, Gui Ling, and Wu Dang.

Originally, Tongtian had no intention of taking another direct disciple—but Luo Fu's performance stirred his heart.

Moreover, Tongtian recalled the astonishing sword intent he had sensed not long ago—this Luo Fu had unleashed it.

His previous four direct disciples could not truly inherit his legacy.

This human before him might be his destined disciple.

"This human Luo Fu?" Laozi murmured softly. "I even want to take him as my disciple."

"Elder brother, you cannot do that," Tongtian hurriedly said. "I heard you already favored a disciple among humans as your sect heir."

"Hah! Tongtian brother, Luo Fu is your Jie Sect disciple—I was only joking," Laozi waved his hand.

One side, Yuanshi said nothing.

This human Luo Fu was a Jie Sect disciple—could he really snatch him into the Chan Sect?

Moreover, Luo Fu's current performance did not warrant Yuanshi lowering his dignity.

"Boom—"

The heavens were shrouded in a spiritual energy storm, countless liquefied spiritual energies pouring into Luo Fu's body.

Simultaneously, streams of cosmic laws wove across Luo Fu's body, slowly enhancing his flesh and soul.

"Breaking through to the Jin Xian Realm is indeed not simple," Luo Fu thought inwardly as he absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The Primordial Golden Core Art he created was already an incredibly terrifying cultivation method—but even so, it could not let him leap directly from Mystic Immortal to Jin Xian in the short term.

Of course.

Given time, Luo Fu's breakthrough to Jin Xian was certain.

But Luo Fu had no intention of waiting.

Since he had already absorbed the spiritual energy of Saint Tongtian's disciples, he intended to accomplish something unprecedented.

Breaking from Early Stage Mystic Immortal to late stage, even peak, was far from enough.

To absorb a sage and become a true sage disciple, he needed even greater power.

At this moment, Luo Fu did not know that even if he failed to break through to Jin Xian, Tongtian still intended to take him as a disciple—after all, even Tongtian in his prime could not have achieved such a breakthrough under these conditions.

Thus, Tongtian did not believe Luo Fu needed to break through to qualify as his disciple.

These things.

Were unknown to Luo Fu, who had once been only a Mystic Immortal.

He only knew that since the Saints had not yet appeared, what he had done was certainly not enough.

Of course, Luo Fu was also aware of the arrival of Daoist Duobao, Blasting Guang Chengzi, and others in the distance.

So Luo Fu declared that he needed to do more.

Those Saints had no idea that their concealment had completely led Luo Fu to jump to the wrong conclusion.

"Sword intent, sword Qi furnace, sword fire tempering…"
