8: Chapter 8: The Ancestral Master Accepts Disciples, Zhou Yuxuan's Superb Acting Skills!

Zhou Yuxuan looked at the Sect Master of Tianyuan, cupped his hands, and said,

"I wonder where the Ancestral Master is now? Yuxuan will go to the Ancestral Master's place immediately."

Sect Master Ji Shengyuan pointed toward the location where Ancestor Tianyuan was in seclusion.

Without hesitation, Zhou Yuxuan summoned the Four Symbols Spirit Sword and flew rapidly toward the direction Sect Master Ji Shengyuan had pointed.

...

After a while.

Zhou Yuxuan arrived before a cave filled with Spiritual Qi and surrounded by Immortal Qi.

"Disciple Zhou Yuxuan has come specifically to pay respects to the Ancestral Master!"

Zhou Yuxuan spoke respectfully.

He knew exactly what kind of powerful figure the Ancestor Tianyuan, Founder of Tianyuan Holy Sect, inside was. Although she was only at the Saint Realm now, in the Late Stage, she would be a powerhouse who broke through to the Supreme Realm.

In the original book, she was even a powerful aid to Su Chen in the later stages.

Now, as Su Chen had no connection with her yet, he could precisely win over this Ancestor Tianyuan and have her join his camp as his aid.

"Come in."

After Zhou Yuxuan's voice fell, a cold voice drifted out from the cave.

Following that, he walked inside.

"Zhou Family boy, you have quite the Luck, actually evolving your Azure Wood Divine Physique into an Immortal Physique. Tsk tsk, your Luck is truly heaven-defying."

The voice of the Founder of Tianyuan Holy Sect echoed within this hundred-meter-wide cave.

Zhou Yuxuan looked up at this Ancestor Tianyuan.

Immediately, a peerless beauty with white hair hanging down to her ankles, an exquisite face, and a cold temperament appeared, sitting cross-legged on a stone bed and calmly observing Zhou Yuxuan.

"Disciple pays respects to the Ancestral Master. I wonder what important matter the Ancestral Master has for summoning me to your place of seclusion?"

Zhou Yuxuan did not hesitate and asked directly.

"Tsk tsk! In all these years, you are the first one who dares to speak to this seat like this. If you weren't a Disciple of my Holy Sect, believe it or not, I would kill you?"

As the cold voice fell, the surroundings were instantly filled with a murderous intent.

"..." Zhou Yuxuan did not speak, but simply maintained his cupped-hand gesture.

He knew that all of this was a test.

Moreover, even if it weren't a test, he was not afraid. After all, his Zhou Family was no pushover; the Tianyuan Holy Sect had a Saint.

His Zhou Family had one as well. It was just that there were rules on the surface of the Shengyuan World now; anyone whose cultivation reached the Saint Realm was not allowed to take action at will.

However, if he were harmed, his Zhou Family would not care about these regulations.

"Hehe! Your Heart-Nature is actually quite acceptable." The Founder of Tianyuan Holy Sect withdrew her murderous intent and looked at Zhou Yuxuan with great appreciation.

Everything just now had merely been her test.

After all, she had learned over the past few days about this Holy Son of Tianyuan's various Simp-like behaviors.

She wanted to see if this Young Master of the Zhou Family, the great Simp of the Tianyuan Holy Sect, actually had a passing Heart-Nature.

"Thank you for the praise, Ancestral Master." Zhou Yuxuan was not modest; he accepted her praise without hesitation.

"Alright, enough of that. This seat wishes to take you as a Disciple. Are you willing to become my Disciple?"

After the Founder of Tianyuan Holy Sect took a deep breath, she looked at Zhou Yuxuan with a fervent gaze.

"This..." Although Zhou Yuxuan was delighted in his heart, he did not rush to agree. Instead, he looked at the Founder of Tianyuan Holy Sect with a look of feigned hesitation on his face.

"Hmm? Could it be that this seat's strength is not worthy of teaching you?" Seeing the Holy Son of Tianyuan's hesitant look,

The Founder of Tianyuan Holy Sect suddenly felt a surge of annoyance.

She was the founding Ancestral Master of the Tianyuan Holy Sect, a powerhouse of the Saint Realm. If she wanted to take a Disciple, countless people in the Eastern Region would be desperate to join her tutelage.

Now, she had offered it to only one person, yet the other party began to hesitate.

Although the power behind Zhou Yuxuan was not simple, who would complain about having more Saint Realm powerhouses backing them?

Feeling the gaze of the Founder of Tianyuan Holy Sect on him, Zhou Yuxuan finally asked, "I wonder what point of this Disciple the Ancestral Master has taken a liking to, such that you wish to take me as a Disciple?"

As for this question of Zhou Yuxuan's, he was likely the only one who dared to ask it.

After all, asking a Saint what they saw in you before agreeing to be their Disciple—if the Saint's mood shifted and their mind changed, an ordinary person would regret it for ten thousand lifetimes.

"Oh? If this seat said I took a liking to your handsome face and wanted to take you as a Male Consort, would you be willing?"

The Founder of Tianyuan Holy Sect looked at Zhou Yuxuan with a rare playful glint, her eyes full of expectation.

She wanted to see this hot-blooded young man's face turn red with embarrassment.

After all, her beauty was currently among the top tier in the Eastern Region.

Although her age was already several thousand years, compared to the lifespan possessed by her Saint Realm, she was only like a woman in her twenties among Mortals with a hundred-year lifespan.

She did not believe that any man could resist her beauty.

"Ancestral Master, please do not joke with this Disciple. If you have no important matter, this Disciple shall take his leave."

Zhou Yuxuan saw through the Founder of Tianyuan Holy Sect's trick. With a face feigning anger from being teased, he prepared to leave.

Seeing this, the Founder of Tianyuan Holy Sect gritted her silver teeth and hurriedly called out.

"Alright, that was just a joke from this seat."

As her voice fell and she saw Zhou Yuxuan stop his steps, only then did the Founder of Tianyuan Holy Sect adopt a serious expression.

"This seat truly did not expect that a Disciple of my Holy Sect would have such massive Luck as to evolve his own Physique into an Immortal Physique. Your Immortal Physique is precisely the reason this seat wants to take you as a Disciple."

"..." Zhou Yuxuan remained silent, continuing to look at the Founder of Tianyuan Holy Sect, signaling her to continue.

Seeing this, the Founder of Tianyuan Holy Sect let out a long sigh.

Immediately after, she waved her fair arm, and a Restriction was cast, enveloping the entire cave.

Only then did she look at the man before her with a serious face.

"Sigh! Actually, there is a problem with this seat's cultivation. Although I have broken through to the Saint Realm, it is not yet stable and will drop from time to time. Currently, this seat needs a Heaven and Earth Treasure."

"And your Azure Wood Divine Physique has the miraculous effect of being compatible with and attracting Wood Spirits. Now that the Divine Physique has evolved into an Immortal Physique, this effect is even stronger. This is the reason this seat wants to take you as a Disciple."

After speaking, the Founder of Tianyuan Holy Sect looked at Zhou Yuxuan, expecting him to agree.

Hearing this reason, Zhou Yuxuan couldn't help but feel surprised in his heart.

In the original plot, he had never heard of this Ancestor Tianyuan having such a situation.

But on second thought, a novel is just a novel; it's impossible to write about every aspect of every character in the entire world.

And the place he was in now was a real world, and those he came into contact with were people with flesh, blood, and emotions.

Following that, Zhou Yuxuan put on a troubled expression and said,

"I see. This Disciple has learned of the Ancestral Master's situation. You may tell me what Heaven and Earth Treasure you need, and if I find it in the future, I will certainly deliver it to you."

"As for the matter of taking me as a Disciple, I hope the Ancestral Master understands that I cannot agree due to personal reasons."

"You!!!"

The Founder of Tianyuan Holy Sect also showed anger at this moment. She suppressed her rage and said, "What special reason do you have that prevents you from agreeing?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yuxuan couldn't help but feel excited. He had waited so long and acted for so long just for this sentence.

"To answer the Ancestral Master, this Disciple has had a habit since childhood: I am not used to sharing one thing with others. If the Ancestral Master wishes to take me as a Disciple, please swear a Dao Heart oath,"

"That after taking me as a Disciple, from now on in this life, you shall not take any other person as a Disciple in any way."

After Zhou Yuxuan finished speaking, he began to calculate in his heart.

Because he remembered that the first time this Ancestor Tianyuan met Su Chen was when Su Chen was scaling the Tianyuan Holy Tower.

The Tianyuan Holy Tower was a treasure provided by the Tianyuan Holy Sect for its Disciples' tempering.

There were a total of one hundred floors inside, and rich rewards could be obtained for every floor cleared.

And by reaching the ninetieth floor, one would possess the qualification to become a Holy Son of Tianyuan.

At that time, Su Chen competed with the Original Self to see who could reach a higher floor. The Original Self was the first to enter the tower and reached the ninety-sixth floor in one go.

Afterward, he began all sorts of in-your-face mockery toward the protagonist Su Chen. However, with the blessing of the Protagonist Halo, Su Chen easily reached the ninety-ninth floor, breaking the all-time record.

He ruthlessly slapped the Original Self's face and even drew out the Ancestor Tianyuan, who had also reached the ninety-ninth floor.

The Ancestor Tianyuan proposed taking Su Chen as a Disciple, but Su Chen politely declined considering the Revered Master in his mind.

What he was doing now was to prevent the Founder of Tianyuan Holy Sect from having the idea of taking a Disciple after Su Chen reached the ninety-ninth floor.

After all, the plot had changed a lot due to his appearance. Who knew if Su Chen would agree in order to deal with him?
