67: They are each other's master and apprentice, and the three long live apprentices!

“Three Masters, Su Yang is but a junior. I dare not presume to be your Master.”

“The idea of us being Master and Disciple also sounds a bit strange. How about we become good friends, and discuss cultivation with each other, supplementing each other’s strengths? What do you think?”

Su Yang thought of a more appropriate reason.

“No!”

“I just want to acknowledge you as my Master and have you teach me how to Cultivate the Dao Yan Immortal Art, Ancient Desolate Sword Art, and Dao Transformation Elixir Art. Since you are teaching me, I am your Disciple. We cannot mess up the relationship!”

Grand Elder Xuan Yan immediately refused.

His attitude was extremely firm; he absolutely insisted on becoming his Disciple.

Grand Elder Xuan Jian was the same, kowtowing and saying, “The title of ‘friend’ is not enough for us to feel at ease asking you all our cultivation questions. What we need is a Master who can guide us.”

Although Grand Elder Xuan Qing’s tone was relatively gentle, his attitude was identical: “Su Yang, you don’t need to treat yourself as a young junior. The fact that you can so quickly grasp three ancient secret manuals already proves that you are no ordinary person. There’s no need to be modest.”

“Furthermore, the Aptitude you’ve displayed is far above ours. How can you lower your status because of seniority? The title of Master belongs to the capable. We would be ashamed to be your Revered Master, but you are truly worthy of being ours!”

Grand Elder Xuan Jian and Grand Elder Xuan Yan nodded in unison: “Exactly!”

Su Yang: …These Three Grand Elders are a bit stubborn.

He had originally wanted to save their Face and establish a more equal relationship with them in a different way.

But it seemed they just wanted to acknowledge him as their Master.

Headache.

Seeing their resolute attitudes, Su Yang knew he probably couldn't change their minds.

Since that was the case… “Alright, alright. Since the Three Masters are willing to put aside their Face and humbly seek the Dao, then I agree.”

“Thank you, Master, for your benevolence!!!”

Grand Elder Xuan Qing, Grand Elder Xuan Yan, and Grand Elder Xuan Jian were instantly overjoyed and bowed their heads… “Wait a moment!”

“What instructions does Master have?”

Su Yang said, “Although you say I am a Reincarnated Great Power, I don’t know how much I can actually teach you. I can only say that as your Master, I will do my best to impart everything I know. As for whether it’s what you need, and how much you can learn, I can’t guarantee.”

“Master is willing to impart everything, your Disciples are deeply grateful!”

The three said in unison.

To hear Su Yang say “impart everything” truly excited the three of them.

From Su Yang’s explanations after reading the three ancient secret manuals, he had already fully grasped the essence of all three books.

Now, the only thing limiting him was his strength Realm.

Su Yang’s willingness to teach them the essence he had comprehended would undoubtedly be infinitely better than them blindly pondering it on their own.

“Since that’s the case, then from now on, I am your Master. Can you release me now?”

Su Yang said.

“No!”

“We haven’t performed the Disciple-acknowledgment ceremony yet.”

“Exactly!”

Grand Elder Xuan Qing, Grand Elder Xuan Yan, and Grand Elder Xuan Jian all prostrated themselves on the ground.

“Disciple Xuan Qing,”

“Disciple Xuan Yan,”

“Disciple Xuan Jian,”

“Greets Revered Master Su Yang!”

Su Yang: …Three old Immortal Masters, collectively over fifty thousand years old, acknowledging him as their Master. Frankly, Su Yang found this scene somewhat strange.

But looking at it from another perspective, being a Master for the first time, and taking on three Body Integration Stage old monsters as his first Disciples, that feeling was quite exhilarating!

“Rise.”

Su Yang said.

“Thank you, Master!”

The ceremony was complete.

Grand Elder Xuan Qing, Grand Elder Xuan Yan, and Grand Elder Xuan Jian immediately released their suppression on Su Yang.

After getting up, all three of their Faces were beaming with smiles.

With the Grand Elder’s hint, coupled with Su Yang’s extraordinary comprehension of the three ancient secret manuals, they were 100% convinced that Su Yang was the Reincarnation of some ancient Great Power.

Why did they insist on becoming Su Yang’s Disciples?

They had their own little schemes.

Firstly,

The three of them had been stuck in the Body Integration Stage for a millennium, with an unknown path ahead.

Su Yang’s appearance was undoubtedly a guiding light in a dark room for them, giving them an Opportunity to Breakthrough their current shackles. How could such an Opportunity be easily missed?

Secondly,

From Su Yang’s rapid comprehension of the three ancient secret manuals, they had already deduced that his swift rise was inevitable.

An ancient Great Power reawakening.

For them to become his Disciples at this time was undoubtedly to secure an excellent path to Immortality for themselves in the future.

Perhaps, they might even become the second, third, and fourth Cultivators after the Eternal Immortal Emperor to Break through the Void Realm and ascend to the Upper Realm.

How could they miss this Opportunity?

“Disciples were just afraid that Revered Master would be startled and run away, so we resorted to this tactic to control Revered Master. Please forgive us, Master.”

Grand Elder Xuan Qing apologized.

“Please forgive us, Master.”

Grand Elder Xuan Yan and Grand Elder Xuan Jian also immediately apologized.

The three of them were indeed quite proficient in respecting their Master and valuing the Dao.

Those who knew understood they were the Grand Elders of the number one Sect in the world.

Those who didn’t might think they had been Disciples in the Profound Heaven Dao Sect for tens of thousands of years.

This speed of transformation made Su Yang feel a bit unaccustomed.

“Ahem, minor matter, minor matter.”

Being a Revered Master for the first time, Su Yang was trying his best to adapt to his new role.

“Revered Master, please sit.”

Grand Elder Xuan Yan and Grand Elder Xuan Jian pulled Su Yang to sit down.

Then the three of them stood in a row, looking eagerly at Su Yang.

Grand Elder Xuan Qing said expectantly, “Since Revered Master has accepted us three as Disciples, when will Revered Master be free to teach us the contents of the three ancient secret manuals?”

Su Yang said, “Since you wish to learn, I will teach you now.”

“Thank you, Revered Master!”

Grand Elder Xuan Qing, Grand Elder Xuan Yan, and Grand Elder Xuan Jian were overjoyed, immediately bowing in salute again.

Su Yang rubbed his temples, motioning for them to sit down.

Then he said, “These three ancient secret manuals you gave me, their cultivation methods are essentially the same.”

“But there is a clear cultivation order.”

“You need to Cultivate the Dao Yan Immortal Art first to enhance your true Qi.”

“Only then can you begin to Cultivate the Ancient Desolate Sword Art, because the Ancient Desolate Sword Art requires the Dao Yan Immortal Art to provide more powerful true Qi to unleash its greater might.”

“As for the Dao Transformation Elixir Art, it goes without saying that it requires the first two as a foundation to have a chance to perform Alchemy within the body.”

Grand Elder Xuan Qing, Grand Elder Xuan Yan, and Grand Elder Xuan Jian listened extremely attentively.

They nodded as they listened.

Ignoring their youthful appearance and their powerful Body Integration Stage strength, they truly resembled three ignorant Disciples.

From this perspective, the three of them were indeed suitable for Cultivation.

Su Yang continued:

“So today, I will first teach you to Cultivate the Dao Yan Immortal Art.”

“You should not try to understand the words on it, but rather remember these words and use true Qi to condense them and the graphics in your sea of consciousness.”

“Then what you need to do is combine these words and graphics in a certain pattern.”

Su Yang waved his hand, his true Qi constraining the Spiritual Qi within the Immortal Cave, replicating the runic array from his sea of consciousness in the air.

“This is the complete array formed by the entire Dao Yan Immortal Art.”

“These fifteen rune rings represent fifteen Realms. According to your current cultivation, if you form the complete array, the first seven rune rings surrounding the core area will light up.”

“Fifteen Realms…???”

Grand Elder Xuan Qing, Grand Elder Xuan Yan, and Grand Elder Xuan Jian were all greatly astonished.

Because the Myriad Spirits Realm itself only had nine Realms.

Their surprise also made them even more ecstatic, meaning these three ancient secret manuals definitely came from the Upper Realm.

If they Cultivated well with Su Yang, they truly had the Opportunity to Break through the Void Realm and ascend to the Upper Realm with him.

“I don’t know what the latter six Realms are, but these fifteen clockwise and counter-clockwise rotating rune rings indeed represent cultivation Realms.”

Su Yang explained, then pointed a finger at the array in the air. All the words and images in the non-rotating core area lit up individually.

“The first thing you need to do now is to construct this core area in your sea of consciousness.”

“Look carefully at the words and images on it. You need to remember the positions of these words and images. After you return, while reviewing the Dao Yan Immortal Art, condense the corresponding words in your sea of consciousness.”

Su Yang also didn’t know how quickly they would Cultivate once they knew the rules, so he added, “Come back to me after you have fully condensed it, and I will teach you to condense the first rune ring!”

“Thank you, Revered Master!”

Grand Elder Xuan Qing, Grand Elder Xuan Yan, and Grand Elder Xuan Jian bowed.

They immediately firmly memorized the words and images of the core area in their minds.

They couldn't wait to go back and Cultivate to see the effects.

Su Yang saw them off from the Immortal Cave.

Grand Elder Xuan Qing, Grand Elder Xuan Yan, and Grand Elder Xuan Jian cupped their hands in salute.

“Revered Master, please stay.”

“We will immediately send Wen Yunyao and Lin Bingqing to you after we return.”

“If you have any needs while Cultivating here, you can send someone to inform us.”

Grand Elder Xuan Qing said.

Su Yang nodded.

Grand Elder Xuan Qing, Grand Elder Xuan Yan, and Grand Elder Xuan Jian bowed again.

They hurried back to Cultivate impatiently.

Gu Yue, who was bored in the pavilion, saw this scene, and her jaw dropped directly to the ground.

What did these three Body Integration Stage old fellows call Su Yang???

Revered Master???

Are they crazy???

Or does Su Yang have an even stronger alluring Physique, capable of bringing down even these three old men???
