Chapter 339: Accepting a Master

Translator: Radiant Translations Editor: Radiant Translations

Xue Ying looked back to see another figure sitting cross-legged on the vast vine leaf. It was the Meishan Clan Master, sitting there with a calm expression. The sight triggered a sigh of praise from Xue Ying. He knew that the Meishan Clan Master had experienced so much more than him. First, he had gone through countless life and death battles for the Temporal Temple before then doing all he could to regain control over himself from their grasp. He ultimately came to the Xia Clan world many years in advance just to prepare.

Just how powerful would the inner heart of such a person be?

Only the Meishan Clan Master got here? Xue Ying thought. I wonder what’s the situation like for Chen Jiu and Jian Huang. Chen Jiu is carrying the fate of his clan on his back. He was even able to come up with the eight arms techniques. His innate talent should be pretty good, so I hope he’ll be able to fulfil his wishes.

As of this moment, Xue Ying had succeeded. He was set to become an honorary disciple, so he could afford to be concerned for his comrades. He and Chen Jiu had been through many life-or-death encounters together.

Countless thoughts flashed through Xue Ying’s mind in that moment before he rushed up to the skies.

There was no use in thinking more about it. After all, Chen Jiu and Jian Huang both had to depend on themselves in the end! It was just the cruel way of the world.

Hu.

After reaching the main branch of the Sky-Reaching Vine, he flew upward along its body. A space membrane was just above him.

“Dong Bo Xue Ying,” sounded the pleasant, gentle voice of Xi Wei as she floated out from the main branch.

“Senior Xi Wei.” Xue Ying immediately stopped and greeted her politely.

“I congratulate you for passing the trials set by the sacred master and becoming an honorary disciple.” Xi Wei smiled. “As an honorary disciple of Crimson Rock Mountain, you will naturally be granted many benefits. As for curing the Six Ghost Resentment of which you were previously worried, that is merely a minor matter.”

Xue Ying nodded.

He did not find that strange; the higher-leveled space even contained treasures which World Deities coveted. By comparison, an antidote for his ailment was much cheaper.

“Senior Xi Wei, may I ask what’s the situation with Chen Jiu and Jian Huang?” Xue Ying asked.

The green-haired woman, Xi Wei, casually replied, “Chen Jiu and Jian Huang, who have both entered Crimson Rock Mountain alongside you, have yet to pass the third vine leaf world. The other person, the Meishan Clan Master, got through that trial after his True Meaning of Space broke through to the Space Deity Heart realm. It gave him the ability to reach the fifth vine leaf world.”

“Space Deity Heart?” Xue Ying was inwardly startled. Having a grade two Deity Heart, according to rumors, represented that he could open up the Deity sea to become a Deity at any time.

“It’s nothing strange,” Xi Wei duly replied. “When Crimson Rock Mountain was still in the Deity world and was receiving disciples from the outside, Transcendents and Deities from countless Starfields rushed over in hopes of passing the many trials so as to become honorary disciples of Crimson Rock Mountain. How could someone who couldn’t even condense a grade two Deity Heart be qualified to become an honorary disciple?

“In the Deity world, Crimson Rock Mountain’s trials might even have been more difficult precisely because there were too many Transcendents coming,” she continued. “But now, after it fell into this mortal world, this difficulty is rather ordinary.”

Xue Ying was inwardly uneasy. The difficulty back in the Deity world was even higher?

That truly would be too powerful and intense!

But ever since the sacred mater died and Crimson Rock Mountain had fallen into the mortal world, the trials no longer had such intense requirements.

“Let’s go. I’ll send you up.” The green-haired Xi Wei smiled. Her attitude toward Xue Ying was clearly different from how she treated the other three. In her eyes, even if the Meishan Clan Master managed to become an honorary disciple, he would at most be considered a stranger who stumbled upon the gates and would merely remain as one of the disciples on the lowest level. On the other hand, Xue Ying’s innate talent was on another level, and, if properly groomed, he might even grasp one of the legendary grade one True Meanings!

Xi Wei even inwardly sighed in relief that such a talent had unexpectedly been sent here! After all, the price the Temporal Temple would ask to send such a person would be so utterly incredible that even World Deities would not be able to afford it! Fortunately, he was a Transcendent originally from the Xia Clan world.

After Crimson Rock Mountain fell into the material world, it became a true fortune for them that such a Transcendent would come over! In Xi Wei’s opinion, it would have been better if they had gotten rid of the trials, but they had been set down according to the rules of the sacred master, which any treasure spirit of Crimson Rock Mountain would absolutely follow to their end. Under no circumstances would they violate those orders.

Hu.”

The green-haired Xi Wei and Xue Ying flew up together.

Upon touching the space membrane, it began splitting apart.

Hua—

They crossed through the membrane. Xue Ying could see colors changing before his eyes; countless rocks and boundless soil stretched all around him.

The Sky-Reaching Vine passed through all the rock and soil, growing further upward.
