98: Two months later, I entered the mysterious method

Zhang Kui, Elder Lu Zifu, and other Elders, Zhang Bihai, Zhou Jiqing, and other Disciples didn't have time to wonder why the Third Elder's 'small trick' could release such astonishing Dragon Might, because the Third Elder's words also revealed something even more surprising, something that could even shake the entire Dongming Sect, and that was...

'The Peak Lord (Master) has taken Lu Chen as his Disciple?!'

Although they had a guess when Lu Chen showed the ability to fight against the Dao Embryo Realm in the Ancient Demon Remnant Tomb, it was still enough to shake their hearts when the Third Elder said it personally.

Don't look at it as just the simple two words 'taking a Disciple'.

In fact, the weight of this is not a joke.

First of all, the Dongming Sect is one of the Three Hegemon Sects of the Southern Chu Kingdom, and behind it is a Great Void Immortal Sect in the depths of the universe starry sky. Although the cultivators in the Southern Chu Kingdom now see the Dongming Sect as having a tendency to be suppressed by the other two Hegemons, in reality, the Dongming Sect doesn't even bother to pay attention to these little punks without backing.

You say that the Dongming Sect of this generation has not produced a Heavenly Pride born with a companion Spirit Treasure?

Heh, that's just because the Heavenly Pride of the Dongming Sect has gone to cultivate in that Void Immortal Sect in the depths of the universe starry sky. As long as the Dongming Sect is willing, they can recall two or three powerful Heavenly Prides at any time, and even inviting a Great Power of the Human Race is not a problem.

Of course, the other two Hegemon Sects in the Southern Chu Kingdom are not without Heavenly Prides with companion Spirit Treasures who have stepped into the universe starry sky, but this is completely incomparable to the Void Immortal Sect behind the Dongming Sect.

This is also why the Dongming Sect dared to directly strike down the 'Twelve Phase Sect', which was once one of the Hegemon Sects. The key is that the other two Hegemon Sects didn't dare to say much!

Even now, the entire Southern Chu Kingdom is spreading rumors that the Dongming Sect has not produced any Heavenly Prides, and the other two Hegemon Sects still only dare to secretly rejoice behind their backs, but if they dare to jump in their faces, their legs will be broken.

So, do you think the Dongming Sect is tough enough, strong enough?

It is very strong, but also very low-key.

And how much weight does the Third Elder, as the Peak Lord of Doujian Peak, one of the six peaks of the Yezhou Main Sect of the Dongming Sect, and the one in charge of the Sect's combat power, carry in the Dongming Sect?

Naturally, it is extremely high.

Once the Third Elder takes a Disciple, his Disciple will cross the Disciple level of the Sect and directly rise to the power level, having the same status as a Doujian Peak Elder, and can even speak in the entire Dongming Sect Main Sect.

Except for the Grand Elder, Third Elder, and other Inner Sect Elders, and the Sect Leader and True Disciples who rarely show their faces, Lu Chen's status is the highest among this level. At critical moments, Lu Chen can even replace the Third Elder, take charge of the entire Doujian Peak, and hold the sharpest sword within the Dongming Sect.

This is a treatment that the Disciple level can never have, even if they climb for a lifetime.

At the same time, for the entire Dongming Sect, this is also a matter of utmost importance that cannot be ignored. Because Lu Chen will soon be among the high-level members of the Dongming Sect, and the core of the Sect he can come into contact with will also become more and more. The elevation of status will naturally bring various benefits that the Disciple level can never access.

In short, there are too many ins and outs in this, completely enough to cause an earthquake in the entire Dongming Sect.

And Lu Chen does indeed have the qualifications and strength to match the identity of a direct Disciple of the Doujian Peak Peak Lord!

After a brief shock, Zhou Jiqing laughed and said, "Congratulations, Junior Brother Lu." Then he looked at the Third Elder: "Congratulations, Master, for finding a good Disciple."

Since he has entered the Third Elder's tutelage, they need to be ranked according to the order of entry, unless Lu Chen jumps to the True Disciple stage.

"Congratulations! Congratulations!" The other Elders and the two direct Disciples also offered their congratulations.

Lu Chen returned the greetings one by one, while the Third Elder waved his hand: "This matter still needs to be reported to the Sect Leader. We will choose an auspicious day later to hold the apprenticeship ceremony. Oh, by the way, Jiqing, you should also prepare."

Zhou Jiqing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted, and immediately bowed down in surprise: "Thank you, Master."

In the Ancient Demon Remnant Tomb, he used the Demon Clan of Night Courtyard Mountain as a whetstone, breaking through the shackles of the Mysterious Method Realm in one fell swoop and ascending to the Dao Embryo Realm. Now he is qualified to become a direct Disciple of the Third Elder, the Peak Lord of Doujian Peak.

The Third Elder telling him to prepare is clearly indicating that he wants him and Lu Chen to become direct Disciples at the apprenticeship ceremony on the same day.

Finally, the Third Elder waved his hand, dismissing the Elders, direct Disciples, and the quasi-direct Disciple Zhou Jiqing.

"Junior Brother Lu, this is a step to heaven!" Zhou Jiqing felt deeply emotional. He recalled that when he successfully entered the Third Elder's tutelage, he was just a registered Disciple, and he had cultivated painstakingly for nearly fifty years, during which he fought desperately and made various contributions to the Sect.

But look at Lu Chen, who has been in the Sect for less than a year...

Zhou Jiqing didn't dare to think about it too much, otherwise he would break down on the spot. The gap between people is really that ridiculously large!

"I wonder if Junior Brother Lu will be taken as a registered Disciple or a direct Disciple by Master!"

Zhang Bihai smiled and said, "Master is already preparing for the apprenticeship ceremony and reporting to the Sect Leader. Do you think it's a direct Disciple or a registered Disciple?"

Would a registered Disciple have this treatment?

"..." Zhou Jiqing froze on the spot.

............

"You are about to become my direct Disciple. Do you have a way to improve your Spirit Transformation Realm cultivation?"

After all, to become a direct Disciple of the Doujian Peak Peak Lord, according to the rules, one must at least be in the Dao Embryo Realm to be qualified.

Although Lu Chen's Puppet Technique is monstrous and he already has the strength to contend with the Dao Embryo Realm, his own cultivation is too low, still in the Spirit Transformation Realm. When people who don't know Lu Chen see this, they might think the Third Elder is opening a back door for Lu Chen!

At the very least, he should be in the Penetrating Aperture Realm to be considered reasonable.

The Third Elder looked at Lu Chen, a playful smile on his lips: "If you don't have a way, I have an Opportunity here, but you will have to suffer a lot. Are you willing or not?"

Lu Chen's eyes lit up: "What Opportunity?"

"I can give you the best pills and send you beyond the Starry Sky to receive the baptism of the Nine Heavens Gale. It's just that this kind of suffering is not something ordinary people can endure," the Third Elder said calmly, gazing at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen was about to agree immediately, but then he suddenly remembered, it's not appropriate!

He still has three petals of the tongming flower, but this tongming flower was taken from the dead Li Jinyi. It's really not appropriate to use it in front of the Third Elder, for fear that the Third Elder might detect Li Jinyi's aura from the tongming flower.

"No need for Master to trouble yourself." Lu Chen's mind raced, and he suddenly raised his hand, holding up two fingers: "Two months, within two months, I will enter the Mysterious Method Realm."

Enter the Mysterious Method Realm in two months?

The Third Elder suddenly fell silent. After a long while, he finally spoke: "You should know that even if I personally send you beyond the Starry Sky to receive the baptism of the Nine Heavens Gale, coupled with your own excellent Aptitude, within two months, I am at most confident that you can enter the Middle Stage of the Penetrating Aperture Realm."

He paused, his tone heavier: "How can you enter the Mysterious Method Realm in two months?"

It was simply arrogant and unrealistic.

In his impression, Lu Chen was not a Disciple who would casually boast, but his bragging today truly made the Third Elder somewhat displeased.

If cultivation were that easy, then in this vast cultivation world, the Mysterious Method Realm would be everywhere, and the Dao Embryo Realm would be worse than dogs. As for someone like Lu Chen in the Spirit Transformation Realm, you wouldn't even dare to go out without burying your head in your pants, otherwise you wouldn't have the face to see anyone.

But in fact, the Mysterious Method Realm is already an incredible expert in the outside world. They have cultivated magic power and can travel beyond the universe starry sky. Their Lifespan is as long as five hundred years. Which of them hasn't cultivated for over a hundred years, or even more than two hundred years, as old Seniors?

And Lu Chen has cultivated for less than a year. It is undeniable that his talent and foundation are also excellent, but putting aside his extremely extraordinary Puppet Technique, to enter the Mysterious Method Realm, even Lu Chen would need at least ten years or more.

This is already an extremely astonishing speed in itself, but two months...

Simply absurd!

Unless you, young Lu Chen, can find that kind of rare heavenly material and earthly treasure, and your understanding of true intent has also entered the third or fourth layer, otherwise even with heavenly material and earthly treasure in hand, you won't be able to break through!

But, what is heavenly material and earthly treasure? What does it mean to be rare and hard to come by?

Let me put it this way!

The Third Elder has cultivated for over a thousand years and has never gotten his hands on it.

Can you, a young fellow who has cultivated for less than a year, have it?
