137: Chapter 137 The Mountain Gates Are Widely Opened, and Disciples Are Being Accepted

The heroes of the world shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens, expressing their most sincere admiration and submission.

Their eyes toward Lu Chen were filled with fanaticism and worship, as if they saw hope and the future.

Yin Susu was so excited she could hardly contain herself. She tightly held Ji Xiaofu's hand and shouted with a trembling voice, "Lu Lang is mighty! I knew it, you really are an immortal!"

Ji Xiaofu's face was also flushed red, her eyes shimmering with excited tears as she nodded vigorously, echoing Yin Susu's words.

Ding Minjun, having turned into a little fan girl, had long since forgotten the rules of the Emei Sect. Her eyes were full of sparkling stars as she gazed foolishly at Lu Chen, making no attempt to hide her adoration: "Alliance Leader is mighty! Alliance Leader is invincible!"

Unlike the excitement of the others, Fang Yanqing just stood to the side, a faint smile on her face, quietly watching Lu Chen.

Her gaze was no longer cold but had become gentle and deep, like a pool of spring water capable of melting anything.

"Lu... is already invincible in this world..." Fang Yanqing murmured softly, her voice gentle yet carrying an unquestionable confidence and pride.

Lu Chen pointed his fingers like a sword and gave a light wave.

"Weng..."

The four swords of zhuxian floating behind him let out a clear sword chime, as if responding to his call.

The four precious swords were radiant all over. Upon their blades, four-colored lights swirled, reflecting each other and shining brilliantly.

They bobbed and drifted in the air, incredibly agile, emitting a powerful aura that made one's heart tremble.

This sight had long surpassed the scope of Mortal martial arts, resembling an immortal's technique that left people in awe.

"Everyone," Lu Chen spoke slowly, his voice carrying an unquestionable majesty, "these four swords were forged by me in the image of the four swords of zhuxian of the Jie Sect's Ancestral Master, Sect Leader Tongtian."

"Today, I, Lu Chen, shall reopen the Jie Sect's Daoist lineage here at the Kunlun Mountains, recruit disciples far and wide, and recreate the glory of the ancient Jie Sect!"

With the enhancement of Internal Energy, Lu Chen's voice was like a great bronze bell, echoing throughout the Bright Peak and vibrating in everyone's hearts.

However, in his heart, he held a slightly mischievous thought: "I'm using the name of a Jie Sect member to open a Dao arena here in the Kunlun Mountains. If those Jie Sect powerhouses found out, I wonder what they would think? Would they be happy to see it happen?"

"As for the Chan Sect... after all, Kunlun was once their Dao arena. If they knew, they'd probably jump in anger and scream for my blood, right? But so what? What does Lu Chen have to fear!"

No one knew Lu Chen's thoughts.

Everyone present had long been won over by Lu Chen's "immortal techniques," their eyes filled with awe and yearning.

Especially the members of the Ming Cult, who were beyond excited.

They originally believed in the Lord of Light and worshipped the Holy Fire, but that was ultimately just an ethereal faith.

Now, they had seen with their own eyes this "True Immortal descended to the world," Lu Chen, displaying all sorts of incredible Divine Abilities. The shock in their hearts can be imagined.

Moreover, before joining the Ming Cult, most of them came from all walks of life—Buddhism, Daoism, Confucianism... they were from every kind of School.

Now that Lu Chen wanted to reopen the Jie Sect's Daoist lineage and recruit disciples, this undoubtedly gave them a chance to change their fates and pursue a higher Realm.

Yin Susu walked to Lu Chen's side, bowed gracefully, and said loudly, "I, Yin Susu, am willing to lead the Ming Cult to join the Jie Sect and become Outer Sect Disciples of the Jie Sect!"

After speaking, she gave Lu Chen a playful wink. This was the first wave of support from his future wife for his Jie Sect business.

"Good!" Lu Chen nodded appreciatively. "Susu, you truly are my Dao Companion! From now on, you are a member of my Jie Sect, responsible for managing Ming Cult affairs."

"Thank you, Lu Lang!" A sweet smile appeared on Yin Susu's face. She knew this was Lu Chen's trust and recognition of her.

With Yin Susu taking the lead, the Ming Cult members no longer hesitated.

Yang Xiao and Fan Yao also said together, "We are willing to enter the Jie Sect and pay our respects to the Sect Master!"

Yin Tianzheng, Wei Yixiao, and Xie Xun also shouted, "We are willing to follow the Sect Master to uphold justice and save all living beings!"

However, Dai Qisi's slogan was different. This Innate widow said slowly, "May the Sect Master enjoy eternal celestial bliss and have a lifespan equal to the heavens!"

Lu Chen looked at the passionate scene before him and was quite satisfied.

Here was his future wife, his future father-in-law, and the Purple-Clad Dragon King who was carrying his future wife... how domineering!

"Everyone, please rise." Lu Chen raised his hand slightly, signaling for everyone to stand. "My Jie Sect emphasizes 'teaching without discrimination.' As long as one has the heart to seek the Dao, they may enter our Jie Sect."

"Susu has a marriage contract with me and is my Dao Companion, so she shall be a Direct Disciple."

"The rest of you shall be my Outer Sect Disciples. You will continue to handle Ming Cult affairs but must follow the Jie Sect's rules."

"Of course, if one has excellent Aptitude, upright character, and a fated connection with me, I can also accept them as an Inner Sect Disciple and teach them the supreme Great Dao!"

Lu Chen changed the subject, his gaze falling upon Fang Yanqing.

Fang Yanqing's heart skipped a beat under Lu Chen's gaze, and a faint blush rose to her face.

She knew Lu Chen was about to give her a "status."

"Sect Leader Fang," Lu Chen spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of tenderness, "I know you have long since returned to secular life, yet you still hold the position of Emei Sect Head. I wonder if you are willing to lead the Emei Sect to join my Jie Sect?"

Hearing this, Fang Yanqing was overjoyed. She quickly bowed and said loudly, "I, Fang Yanqing, am willing to lead the Emei Sect to join the Jie Sect and become Outer Sect Disciples of the Jie Sect!"

"Good!" Lu Chen nodded appreciatively, a gratified smile appearing on his face. "Sect Leader Fang is sensible and farsighted. You are truly a blessing to the Martial Forest and a heroine among women!"

He paused, his tone shifting to one of mystery and expectation:

"Furthermore, what you all might not know is that the Dao arena of the Jie Sect's powerhouse, Senior Zhao Gongming, was in the Luofu Cave of Mount Emei."

"And the former Dao arena of the legendary, infinitely powerful Three Xiao Goddesses was also Mount Emei."

"All of this is perhaps the will of heaven in the dark, a fate long predestined."

"Sect Leader Fang, since you are willing to enter my Jie Sect, you have a fated connection with us."

"In the future, you shall govern Emei, using Emei as your Foundation, and strive to recreate the grand occasion of the Three Xiao Goddesses on Mount Emei, restoring the prestige of our Jie Sect!"

Lu Chen's words were not just a promise to everyone present, but also an affirmation of Emei, an expectation for the future, and an encouragement to Fang Yanqing.

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Fang Yanqing felt a surge of excitement and hot blood rushing to her heart.

"Sect Master, please rest assured! Yanqing will certainly do her utmost and not fail your trust!" Fang Yanqing spoke with a firm tone, her eyes flashing with determination.

"That is excellent. Since Sect Leader Fang has a fated connection with my Jie Sect, she shall be a Direct Disciple of the Jie Sect. This also fulfills the lineage of the Three Xiao Goddesses."

Under Fang Yanqing's leadership, everyone in Emei voluntarily joined the Jie Sect.

Ji Xiaofu goes without saying. Since Yin Susu became a Direct Disciple, Lu Chen was naturally impartial toward her. Xiaofu's rise was just around the corner.

As for Ding Minjun, she was even more excited now, almost unable to contain herself, as if she were only one step away from Immortal Ascension.
