Chapter 2380
While the Ziqing sisters were still in a daze, the surrounding immortal kings could no longer contain themselves and turned to give Zi Chen meaningful glances, their tone full of urgent urging.
"Zi Chen! You should quickly try to persuade him!"
"Silly girls, stop staring blankly! This is the Dao Lord taking the initiative to accept you as a disciple!"
Zi Chen's heart leaped into his throat, cold sweat beaded on his palms, and he hurriedly transmitted his thoughts, his tone urgent and excited: "Quickly become a disciple! This is a destiny of immortality that you can't cultivate for several lifetimes, what are you standing there for!"
"Puff! Puff!"
The two sisters finally reacted, daring not to hesitate for a moment. In front of all the powerful figures present, they knelt down and respectfully performed the three bows and nine kowtows ceremony, their voices clear and solemn, echoing throughout the entire arena.
"Disciple Qingxia (Zixia) greets Master!"
"Hahaha! Good! Good! Good!" June laughed heartily, saying "good" three times in a row, which showed her joy.
He raised his hand and waved, and two identity tokens, imbued with the Daoist aura of moonlight, shot out from the air and landed precisely in the hands of the two sisters.
"Now that the battle for destiny is imminent, I need to coordinate the deployment of an army of hundreds of millions of cultivators and have no time to teach you immediately. You two should return to your respective branch realms for the time being. After I have finished dealing with the war, I will personally bring you back to the Bright Moon Palace."
"Disciples will obey Master's command!" Zixia and Qingxia held the order in both hands and nodded respectfully.
Now that they had formally become disciples, Baihe, Qinglian, and Bailian looked at the Ziqing sisters with even more gentle eyes—by seniority, the two were now their junior sisters, so naturally they felt closer to them.
June nodded, her gaze shifting to Zi Chen in the stands, whose face was flushed and who could hardly contain his excitement. She smiled and tossed the item into her hand.
"Although joining my sect may not bring the same glory as the Supreme Daoist Temple, my disciples in June will not be wronged. Consider this talisman a small gift from Bright Moon Palace to Purple Mansion Holy Land."
Swah——
A talisman, its surface gleaming, hurtled through the air. The majestic Bright Moon Immortal Palace was engraved on its front, and a faint aura of a Dao Lord emanated from it.
Zi Chen quickly offered his hands respectfully to receive the gift, his voice trembling, "Thank you for your grace, Dao Lord! The entire Purple Mansion Holy Land is deeply grateful!"
This talisman is no ordinary treasure; it is proof of the bond between the Purple Mansion Holy Land and the Bright Moon Palace. This karmic connection is a hundred times more precious than the vast resources contained within the talisman.
Many powerful figures in the arena watched with envy and longed to take his place, but could only secretly admire Zi Chen's good fortune.
"As for Fellow Daoist Jueqing," June's gaze fell on Jue Wuqing again, her smile gentle, "your two rewards will be delivered by a special person from the Daoist temple after Chen Xuan and Qiu Zixian formally become disciples of the Supreme One."
It's obvious to anyone with eyes that a fourth-step Dao Lord would be so polite to a mere second-class Immortal King—this courtesy is all due to Chen Xuan's heaven-defying potential.
Jue Wuqing immediately bowed, his attitude extremely respectful: "Thank you for your guidance, Daoist Lord! The Jue Wuqing Holy Land will certainly send a humble envoy to await good news!"
"In that case, today's life-or-death duel ends here. Everyone, please disperse." As soon as June finished speaking, she raised her hand and waved it. A gentle force of Dao enveloped Chen Xuan, Lu Xueqi, and the others. With a movement, they transformed into streams of light and flew into the ninth floor of Louwailou.
Tianyi, Fusheng, Han Jiuling, and the other younger members who had accompanied them all stood still, gazing at the Louwailou, a building that symbolized supreme nobility, with complex expressions in their eyes.
The consumption options on the 109th floor were beyond their reach, and they could only look up to the ninth floor from afar. They felt both disappointed and blessed Chen Xuan and the others.
On the other side, many familiar Immortal Kings and Divine Kings surrounded Zi Chen and Jue Wuqing, their tone full of teasing and congratulations:
"Congratulations, Zi Chen! Your two beloved daughters have become disciples of the Daoist Master. It's truly an auspicious occasion!"
"Madman, you've finally got your revenge! From now on, you'll have the Supreme Daoist Temple and the Dao Lord's tutelage as your backers. Let's see who dares to mock your Heartless Holy Land now!"
"That's right! When the people from the Immortal Ancient Land and the Supreme Holy Land arrive, if they dare to mock and suppress you again, we'll stand up for you!"
Jue Wuqing quickly waved his hand, a smile plastered on his face, but his tone carried a hint of heartache: "No, no, no, brothers, have mercy! This meal at Lou Wai Lou is on me, okay?"
"Hahaha! That's exactly what I wanted to hear! Today I'm going to bankrupt you!"
Jue Wuqing's face paled slightly, but he readily agreed—today's opportunity was extraordinary, and he was already the biggest winner. Treating his old friends to a lavish meal wouldn't be a big deal. He waved his hand: "Let's go! Lou Wai Lou, first floor, order whatever you like!"
"The first floor? You're too stingy! It has to be the 109th floor!"
"Shh! Keep your voices down!" Zi Chen quickly smoothed things over, using his divine sense to warn, "Dao Lord Liuyue is hosting a banquet on the ninth floor. If you go to the 109th floor, wouldn't that be implying that Dao Lord is stingy? Don't you want to live?"
Everyone's expression changed drastically, and they quickly lowered their voices: "Then... the eighth floor will be alright, won't it?"
Zi Chen shook his head helplessly, Jue Wuqing rolled her eyes, and finally showed her generosity for once: "Fine! Whatever you say, let's go!"
A group of celestial kings and divine kings escorted the two towards the Louwailou. Zi Chen glanced back and saw the dejected looks of the failed juniors. He immediately used his divine sense to rebuke them, his tone stern: "This little setback has already shaken your Dao heart?"
"Let me tell you clearly, we have seen this scene countless times. I have even personally witnessed a Supreme Being accepting a disciple! If you are discouraged every time you miss an opportunity, you might as well give up cultivating immortality as soon as possible, return to the Flame Dragon Realm, get married, have children, and live out your life!"
Tianmang, Fusheng, and the others were jolted as if struck by lightning. They instantly snapped out of their despair and replied in unison, "Disciples know their mistake!"
Zi Chen's tone softened slightly: "The Dao Lord Sect and the Supreme Daoist Temple will not disappear. As long as you concentrate on cultivation and improve yourselves, you will always have a chance to enter the sect. Do you really think you are much worse than Dao Yi and Chen Xuan?"
"Those who are not convinced, then come with me to Louwailou! Remember, your Dao heart may be clouded, but it cannot be thwarted—once thwarted, your path in this life will be difficult to advance even an inch!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zi Chen turned and stepped into Louwailou. The younger generation exchanged glances, the disappointment in their eyes gradually fading, replaced by a renewed fighting spirit.
"I refuse to accept this! It was just a missed opportunity; next time I'll definitely win based on my own strength!"
"Let's go! Martial Uncle is right, we just haven't tried hard enough!"
"Rumor has it that the delicacies on the 109th floor of Lou Wai Lou are so exquisite that even a Dao Lord would feel heartache. Although I can't eat them today, I must at least have a good taste of the eighth floor!" Xuan Yi joked through telepathy, diluting the lingering sadness.
"Hahaha! Let's go! Let's devour Uncle Jue Wuqing!" Although Han Jiuling and the others were injured, they followed closely behind with smiles. The faint sadness was replaced by fighting spirit, and their steps became more and more firm.
Inside the private room on the ninth floor of Lou Wai Lou, Chen Xuan and the other seven juniors were visiting such a place for the first time. They had expected it to be extremely luxurious and full of ancient charm, but upon entering, they found that it could only be described as elegant and quiet.
The tables and chairs were all made of millennia-old warm jade, and a few immortal herbs were placed in the corner. The air was filled with a faint aroma of tea. There was no sense of deliberate ostentation, but rather a sense of nobility hidden in the details.
Being personally invited to a banquet by the Four-Step Dao Lord is an honor that is far more inspiring than any luxurious furnishings.
After exchanging a few brief pleasantries with June, the Seven Peaks Immortal King and the Dark Night God King rose to take their leave. Chen Xuan and the others were all future disciples of the Bright Moon Supreme Daoist lineage, and there must be some secret matters involved. They could not overhear too much, lest they offend the Dao Lord.
"Please take your seats, everyone. There's no need to be so formal," June said, gesturing with her hand in a gentle tone.
"Senior brother, please go first." Although Chen Xuan rose from humble origins, he was well-versed in etiquette, stepping aside to let him go first, his tone humble.
The group took their seats according to seniority. Baihe, the Qingbai sisters, and the Ziqing sisters stood beside Liuyue, while Chen Xuan, Lu Xueqi, Qiu Zixian, Xia Jiuyou, and Daoyi sat opposite her.
With the opportunity of the life-or-death arena over, Chen Xuan's thoughts raced, and his gaze narrowed slightly—for him, the most important thing now was to focus on the details of the struggle for destiny between the two civilizations several years later.
