158: Chapter 158 The Aura of Destiny, True Disciple

"I felt a sliver of the breath of fate!"

The young girl's cherry lips parted slightly, her voice as pleasant as a clear spring.

"The breath of fate? How is that possible, Her Highness the Goddess? This is merely a sub-dimension of a low-level civilization; how could there be the breath of fate here..."

Hearing the girl's words, the golden crow's eyes widened, speaking in disbelief.

"Though I am also surprised, it is indeed the case!"

The girl slowly raised her head, her eyes seemingly filled with an endless surge of brilliant flowing light, as if containing billions of star systems.

"This... then, Her Highness the Goddess, should we immediately blockade the entire Ancient Mystic Realm and thoroughly capture this sliver of fate's breath? When the time comes, perhaps we can recast the brilliance and glory of our Weiyang Clan..."

Seeing the girl so certain, the golden crow spoke hurriedly, its tone extremely urgent.

Clearly, this breath of fate was very important and an extremely precious thing.

"If capturing the breath of fate were useful, how would my Weiyang Clan have fallen to this state!"

The girl spoke indifferently, her tone extremely calm.

Hearing this, the golden crow's expression became somewhat stiff; it hung its head and let out a soft sigh.

True, it was just a breath of fate. Although its appearance in the territory of a low-level civilization was very rare, wanting to rely on this bit of fate's breath to reverse everything...

Was still...

"Then do we do nothing?"

The golden crow continued slowly.

"That is the breath of fate, after all..."

"No need to rush. Wait a bit longer. Give me a little more time, just a little, a little will do..."

The girl slightly clenched her fist, a look of determination in her eyes.

"Give fate a little time too..."

"I believe that since the breath of fate was sensed by me, then fate will surely guide me to find it again..."

...

Five days later, at Xuanhuang Fortress, inside the palace of the Xia Kingdom.

Inside the palace, the members of the World Martial Arts Competition gathered together, their faces filled with ease and joy.

Clearly, over these past few days, everyone had harvested many resources and treasures within the Ancient Mystic Realm.

"You performed very well in this World Martial Arts Competition. Despite having a traitor in our team, you still forcefully took the championship. Every one of you did a great job!"

In the great hall, Grandmaster Feng Xiang looked at the many contestants with a face full of admiration.

Especially when looking at Zhou Bai, the admiration in his eyes almost solidified.

Clearly, Zhou Bai's performance had greatly surprised even this Grandmaster-level powerhouse from the Beiming Sacred Hall.

"In view of your brilliant performance in the World Martial Arts Competition, each person can choose one SS-rank martial arts secret technique, as well as five portions of SS-rank resources and one ss-rank weapon. As for Zhou Bai, who turned the tide in the final and greatly boosted our Xia Kingdom's national prestige, he will be additionally rewarded with one SS-rank martial arts secret technique and three portions of SS-rank resources!"

Feng Xiang continued slowly, informing everyone of the rewards the Xia Kingdom was bestowing upon them for this World Martial Arts Competition.

Hearing Feng Xiang's words, everyone's faces were filled with joy.

These rewards could be described as quite generous.

Five portions of SS-rank resources, one SS-rank martial arts secret technique, and one ss-rank weapon—these things would be of immense use even when they reached the Grandmaster realm.

As for Zhou Bai's extra reward of three portions of SS-rank resources and one SS-rank martial arts secret technique, no one had any objections.

If not for Zhou Bai, it would have been impossible for their Xia Kingdom to win the championship.

Zhou Bai's heart was also full of joy; two SS-rank martial arts secret techniques would undoubtedly greatly enhance his foundations.

After all, he still had two skill upgrade cards. Once the two SS-rank secret techniques were upgraded, they would become SSS-rank supreme secret techniques and divine abilities.

"These secret techniques and resources will be distributed to you after you return to Blue Star. Additionally, the rewards from the World Martial Arts Association will also be distributed after your return!"

Feng Xiang continued slowly.

Everyone nodded, their faces full of anticipation.

After Feng Xiang finished speaking, he dismissed everyone, while also informing them that they would return to Blue Star tomorrow.

"Student Zhou Bai, come to my room for a moment. I have something to discuss with you!"

After the crowd left, Feng Xiang said to Zhou Bai.

Zhou Bai nodded and followed Feng Xiang into his room.

"Student Zhou Bai, please sit!"

In the room, Feng Xiang brewed a pot of spiritual tea that emitted a rich, fresh fragrance, and spoke to Zhou Bai.

"I wonder what business Grandmaster Feng has with me?"

Zhou Bai asked directly, getting straight to the point.

"I want to invite Student Zhou Bai to join our Beiming Sacred Hall and become a disciple of our Beiming Sacred Hall!"

Feng Xiang said after pouring tea for Zhou Bai.

"Join the Beiming Sacred Hall!"

Hearing this, Zhou Bai's eyes lit up.

In these past few days, many top powerhouses from the Xia Kingdom had come to the Ancient Mystic Realm.

Among them, Mentor Ouyang Hong from the University Alliance, who had previously brought them to the Ancient Mystic Realm, had also arrived.

He had told Zhou Bai and the others that the Four Great Sacred Halls would each recruit two new disciples this year.

"Yes, our Beiming Sacred Hall has two slots for recruiting disciples this year. Not just us, but the Spark Holy Temple, Kunlun Sacred Hall, and Xuantian Sacred Hall—the other three great sacred halls—also have plans to recruit disciples!"

Beiming Sacred Hall Elder Feng Xiang continued,

"Our Beiming Sacred Hall's reputation among the Four Great Sacred Halls is not as prominent as the other three, but our overall strength is much the same. If you are willing to join our Beiming Sacred Hall, I can have you directly become a True Disciple of our Beiming Sacred Hall!"

"Directly become a True Disciple!"

Hearing Feng Xiang's words, Zhou Bai was inwardly shocked.

The Four Great Sacred Halls were super powers that had stood in the Xia Kingdom for thousands of years, and their strength was extremely terrifying.

The hierarchy of disciples within the gates was also extremely strict.

They were divided into Ordinary Disciples, Core Disciples, and True Disciples.

The promotion between disciple ranks also had rigorous conditions and assessments, and their statuses were worlds apart.

"Although our Beiming Sacred Hall has many disciples, the seats for True Disciples are fixed; there are only seven. Not long ago, one of our True Disciples fell in battle. If you enter our Sacred Hall, you will be one of the disciples with the highest status..."

"You will have your own exclusive Spiritual Cultivation Land, a monthly quota of ten portions of SS-rank resources and a hundred thousand contribution points. Furthermore, you will receive a fifty percent discount when exchanging for various resources and secret martial arts techniques in our Sacred Hall..."

"There are also ten days of cultivation time in the Spiritual Cultivation Land of our Beiming Sacred Hall..."

Feng Xiang continued slowly, telling Zhou Bai about the benefits of being a True Disciple of the Beiming Sacred Hall.

Hearing Feng Xiang's words, Zhou Bai was startled.

The resources a True Disciple could obtain were simply too much...

Ten portions of SS-rank cultivation resources every month, an exclusive Spiritual Cultivation Land, a fifty percent discount, and a hundred thousand contribution points...

Every single item was extremely tempting.

"Other sacred halls might also invite you, but they definitely won't offer better conditions than mine!"

Feng Xiang looked at Zhou Bai in front of him and continued slowly.
