Chapter 95 - Discipleship (1/2)

25th December.

A bone-piercing cold wind howled as Meng Chuan cultivated the Saber Drawing Stance in his cave abode’s training grounds. He had yet to choose a saber art from Archean Mountain! This was because he had officially accepted a master today. It wasn’t too late for him to choose a saber art after listening to his master’s guidance.

“Ah Chuan, Ah Chuan.” A familiar voice came from outside.

“Qiyue.” Meng Chuan sheathed his saber and walked out of the training grounds. He saw Liu Qiyue running into his residence. Since the servants had received Meng Chuan’s instructions, they naturally didn’t stop her.

“Ah Chuan, let’s go. You’re officially accepting a master today,” said Liu Qiyue.

“I’ve been practicing for two hours. I’ve been waiting for you.” Meng Chuan smiled as he walked out with Liu Qiyue.

The duo walked alongside Bright Scenic Peak’s mountain path. Before they walked far, they saw the white-robed Princess Li Ying walk out of her cave abode.

Li Ying smiled as she walked over. “Senior Brother Meng, Senior Sister Liu, what a coincidence.”

Seeing how close Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue were, Li Ying maintained a smile. She knew that Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue were childhood sweethearts. They didn’t have any blood relations, but Li Ying still felt like she had a chance! Li Ying was destined to be a powerful Godfiend. Regardless of whether it was from the bottom of her heart or from the imperial family’s internal competition, she wanted to find a Godfiend husband that was stronger than her.

Meng Chuan matched Li Ying’s ideal.

Initially, Li Ying wanted to interact with Meng Chuan more and see if their personalities matched. To her surprise, Meng Chuan cultivated daily. Whenever she visited Meng Chuan, she would often encounter Liu Qiyue.

Her plans were thwarted from the beginning!

“Junior Sister Li,” greeted Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue with a smile.

“Today, we will officially be acknowledging our master.” Li Ying followed them. “Do you know how impressive our master is?”

Liu Qiyue smiled and said, “I’ve been here for over half a year now. I do know a little. Master has been the master of all recruited disciples of Archean Mountain for the past three centuries.”

Meng Chuan was shocked when he heard that. “Twenty disciples are accepted every year. Six thousand disciples share the same master?”

“Yes.” Liu Qiyue nodded.

When it came to Godfiend lifespans, the lifespan of Core Cloud, Indestructible, and Great Solar Godfiends was 200 years, twice a mortal’s lifespan. There were very few mortals who could live past a hundred years. Many died when they were seventy or eighty years old. Fairy Meng had been 110 years old… Godfiends often engaged in battles, and their bodies were damaged after many years. It was rare for them to live to 200.

Darkstar Godfiends had a lifespan of 300 years. From their lifespan, one could tell that it was a qualitative breakthrough from the Great Solar realm to the Darkstar realm.

Regis Godfiends had a maximum lifespan of 500 years.

“Master’s status is extremely high. When Mountain Lord Lian and Elder Yi see him, they have to address him as Supremacy respectfully,” said Liu Qiyue.

“Yes.” Princess Li Ying smiled and said, “Master is an existence that transcends Regis Godfiends.”

Meng Chuan was shocked. Transcends Regis Godfiends? He had read many books in the library, but none of them mentioned such things. He only had vague suspicions that there were existences that surpassed Regis Godfiends.

“Master’s lifespan is long. With him around, Archean Mountain is impregnable,” said Princess Li Ying with a smile. “Did you know that the most important city pass out of seven major city passes in the Great Zhou Dynasty—Luotang Pass—is guarded by a Supremacy?”

“Oh?” Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue learned something new.

They knew that there were many passes in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Qinyang Pass—which was very close to Eastcalm Prefecture—was a relatively ordinary city pass! There were nine similar city passes in the Wu State. There were even more across the entire world.

However, there were few passes that were truly famous throughout the world. There were seven major city passes in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Calm Sea Pass and Luotang Pass were ranked among them. He had known Luotang Pass was the most important of the seven major city passes and occupied the largest area—almost comparable to Archean City—but he hadn’t known that it was presided over by an existence that surpassed Regis Godfiends.

…

They chatted along the way. The trio soon arrived at Yellow Reverence Peak’s Grotto-Heaven Pavilion.

Grotto-Heaven Pavilion was very spartan. There were many prayer mats on the ground. Many disciples had already sat down.

“Lord Meng Chuan, please sit here.” There was a steward in the Grotto-Heaven Pavilion who ushered the new disciples to their seats. There was also a reason for the seating plan. Those who were given a higher evaluation according to Archean Mountain’s internal tests, sat closer to the front.

Meng Chuan also sat down on the mat.

“Ah Chuan.” Liu Qiyue also sat in her seat. She was seated to Meng Chuan’s left. Clearly, she had been arranged to sit in front. On the contrary, Princess Li Ying could only sit behind them.

Whoosh.

Suddenly, a youth—dressed in a white robe with a sword by his waist—walked in. The entire building fell silent.

“Ah Chuan, look. That’s the fifth son of King Calm Sea, Xue Feng,” said Liu Qiyue immediately via voice transmission.
