Chapter 481 Omega Saint Spirit Art (1/2)
Several glowing lotuses landed on the giant mountain. The vast, imposing auras spreading from the six figures seated atop them caused the seven chief disciples to grow increasingly respectful. As young pract.i.tioners that had recently stepped onto the 'main road' of cultivation, the six individuals before them, who were already at the grandmaster level, were the goals they would strive towards in the future.
”We respectfully greet sect master and the peak masters.” The seven respectfully bowed.
Sect master Qing Yang smiled as he gazed upon these seven individuals, and nodded in approval. With a wave of his sleeve, seven rainbow clouds slowly rose from under their feet and lifted them into the air.
Zhou Yuan curiously observed the cloud he stood on. It seemed to be made purely from Genesis Qi, while a strange power churned within it.
”I created these seven rainbow clouds in my free time. They can fly people around with amazing speed that can catch up to the moon and stars. Besides this, they will also be able to protect you from a fatal blow once.”
Sect master Qing Yang chuckled and said, ”Hehe, let them be a little gift for the seven of you, and a reward for your hard work during the past year.”
Zhou Yuan and the other six were overjoyed, happiness appearing in their eyes as they looked down at the rainbow clouds below their feet. Not only would they be able to travel faster in the future, but more importantly, it could block a fatal blow for them once, which was basically akin to having a protective treasure.
Though it may only be a small gift to sect master Qing Yang, to them, it was an important treasure that could save their lives.
”Thank you sect master!” The seven bowed once more in thanks.
They never expected to receive such a big present so quickly.
Sect master Qing Yang laughed, before he said, ”Some of you were previous chief disciples, while others are newly promoted. The reward I'm about to give next will not be relevant to the former chief disciples, so your respective peak masters will give you another reward later on.”
”For the newly promoted chief disciples…”
He paused, a slight smile appearing on his face when he saw their fervent gazes, before he said, ”You will be given what you desire the most.”
What was it they most desired? The seven Cangxuan arts of course!
”Will the newly promoted chief disciples kindly step forward.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuan immediately urged his rainbow cloud forward.
Beside him, the Snow Lotus Peak chief disciple, Su Yao, and the Hongya Peak chief disciple, Chen Ze, also drifted forward. They were likewise newly promoted chief disciples.
It was not easy to replace a chief disciple in the Cangxuan Sect, because a newly promoted chief disciple would receive one of the seven Cangxuan arts. Once this technique was learnt, it would become very challenging for someone else to take the chief disciple's place.
Fortunately, the seven Cangxuan arts were very difficult to learn, and many chief disciples would fail to reach the elementary level even after a year of practice.
Hence, the usual strategy was to challenge the current chief disciple before he or she managed to learn the technique. Otherwise, one would most likely have to wait for the old chief disciple to finish their three year term and retire from the position.
This was also precisely why Su Yao and Chen Ze had succeeded. Their former chief disciples had failed to learn the Cangxuan art within their one year tenure, allowing Su Yao and Chen Ze to catch up...
Snow Lotus Peak master Liu Lianyi and Hongya Peak master Gu looked towards Su Yao and Chen Zu, before making a grabbing motion as two ancient jade books appeared in their hands.
The jade books slowly floated into the air, hovering in front of the Su Yao duo as a mysterious light pulsed from them.
Su Yao and Chen Ze's eyes were overflowing with emotion as they respectfully reached out with trembling hands to receive the books. Each of these books contained one of the seven famous Cangxuan arts.
Sect master Qing Yang looked towards Zhou Yuan and said, ”Due to Saint Genesis Peak not having a peak master, I've been the one who has been keeping the Omega Saint Spirit Art, which I shall confer to you today.”
A simple jade book appeared in his hand, before drifting towards Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan respectfully received it. A cool sensation entered his hands, but his heart was boiling hot with excitement. This was a high grade Genesis technique, the highest level of Genesis technique he had ever come into contact with.
”Thank you sect master.”
Sect master Qing Yang nodded, before he cautioned, ”All of you will have to work hard in practicing the seven Cangxuan arts. If you fail to master it after a year, and your position is taken by another disciple, do be warned that these manuals will be taken back.”
