Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 591 - 194: Paying Respects to True Monarch Wangchuan!

Ten days later, the entire Celestial Talisman Sect was decorated with lanterns and banners.

All disciples above the Foundation Establishment Stage gathered at the Celestial Talisman Hall,

Earlier, he had promised Luo Yuancheng that after he broke through the Core Formation Stage, he would take him as a disciple.

Zhou Xun naturally would not go back on his word,

and thus decided to hold the disciple ceremony today.

When Luo Yuancheng received the news, his first reaction was excitement. Although he had previously regarded himself as a disciple, without a formal ceremony,

it was like a concubine without a proper wedding.

Now, with this formal ceremony, it was equivalent to announcing to the world that he was a disciple of Zhou Xun.

Given Zhou Xun’s current status as a Nascent Soul Cultivator, it was a significant boost for him, equivalent to having a great backing.

After the excitement, Luo Yuancheng regained his calm,

realizing that since Zhou Xun had not yet held a Nascent Soul Ceremony after his breakthrough, holding this disciple ceremony might be inappropriate.

So he sought out Zhou Xun to express his thoughts.

Zhou Xun laughed upon hearing this,

he had reasons for not holding a Nascent Soul Ceremony,

near the Celestial Talisman Island Sea Region were merely some Core Formation Cultivators; even if a ceremony were held, only a few Core Formation Cultivators would attend.

The only Nascent Soul that might come was True Monarch Iron Mountain,

such a scale might not even match his previous Core Formation Ceremony, so Zhou Xun naturally had no interest.

So he simply decided not to hold it!

At the entrance of the Celestial Talisman Hall, Master Qianfu, Cao Feiyu, as the Guest Master, was welcoming guests,

"Brother Cao, congratulations!"

An emaciated old man in a grey robe smiled and cupped his hands in salute, his face showing a hint of envy.

"Brother Liu, your presence is truly too kind!" Cao Feiyu returned the gesture.

This person was an elder from the Beiyun Sect who once coveted the commander’s position while participating in the patrol team for the Celestial Talisman Island Sea Region with Cao Feiyu.

Unfortunately, Cao Feiyu had the support of Zhou Xun, coupled with connections to Master Huadu,

"Your Celestial Talisman Sect is about to prosper, with a True Monarch Nascent Soul as a patron, soaring to great heights is just around the corner!"

"By the way, could Brother Cao introduce me? Since a Nascent Soul Great Power has appeared in the Celestial Talisman Island Sea Region, I must pay a visit!"

The old man spoke with a hint of pleading and caution.

"This matter is easy to arrange; after the ceremony, Daoist Brother Zhou will host a small exchange meeting for us, and I will introduce you then!"

Cao Feiyu replied with a smile.

Generally speaking, such ceremonies often gather many High-Tier Cultivators, so holding an internal exchange meeting is common.

Cao Feiyu wanted to elevate the quality of the exchange meeting, so he invited Zhou Xun to attend.

This was easy for Zhou Xun, so he naturally agreed, leading to Cao Feiyu’s promise.

The old man’s eyes lit up upon hearing this,

A True Monarch Nascent Soul hosting personally was an excellent opportunity to establish connections, so he respectfully saluted and sincerely thanked him.

After the old man entered,

the Core Formation Elders from the other two sects in the Celestial Talisman Island Sea Region, Black Wood Island and the Red Origin Sect, also arrived personally and were equally delighted to hear about Zhou Xun’s exchange meeting.

If Zhou Xun favored them, perhaps another Celestial Talisman Island could emerge.

As noon approached, all the expected figures from the nearby major forces had arrived, but True Monarch Qianfu still lingered at the hall’s entrance without entering.

The guests began to discuss among themselves,

"Could it be that an important figure is still expected here?"

At this moment, a stream of light descended from the sky, landing directly at the entrance, transforming into a strong man.

"The sect is honored by the True Monarch’s visit, and we apologize for not welcoming you from afar!"

Seeing him, Cao Feiyu instantly became more enthusiastic and hurriedly stepped forward to greet,

"Hahaha, it’s rare for Younger Brother Zhou to take a disciple; how could I not come to pay my respects!" True Monarch Iron Mountain waved his hand.

At this moment, Zhou Xun also walked out from inside the hall and joked,

"Daoist Brother, you’re a bit late!"

"I got engrossed in artifact refining and almost missed the hour, but I made it just in time!" True Monarch Iron Mountain said apologetically,

"Then you must drink a few more cups of spirit wine... please,"

Zhou Xun laughed, making a gesture of invitation,

and then the two of them stepped into the hall together.

...

"Meet True Monarch Wangchuan!"

After Zhou Xun took the main seat,

all the cultivators present stood up, bowed, and saluted. The sound was as loud as a bell, echoing throughout the hall.

"No need for formalities!" Zhou Xun waved his hand, and a gentle force swept across the room, slowly lifting everyone up.

Feeling this force, everyone couldn’t help but be greatly shocked!

This is the power of a True Monarch Nascent Soul; indeed, it is unfathomable!

"I am grateful to everyone for coming to witness this event today. Since I embarked on the path of cultivation, I have rarely taken disciples,"

"Yuancheng possesses outstanding talent and impeccable character, having served me for many years; although lacking the name of master and disciple, the reality was there,"

"Today, I accept him as my disciple and ask everyone present to bear witness!"

"Yuancheng!" Saying this, Zhou Xun looked at Luo Yuancheng and slowly said,

"Disciple here!"

At this moment, Luo Yuancheng stepped onto the stage and bowed deeply.

"Before you, I have already accepted five disciples. Today, I wish to take you as my sixth direct disciple under me. Are you willing?"

"Disciple is willing!"

Luo Yuancheng said loudly.

"Good, since you are entering under my tutelage, you must adhere to my rules,"

"All disciples under me must support and care for each other and shall not harm each other..."

Zhou Xun articulated every rule one by one.

"Can you abide by them?"

"Disciple can!" Luo Yuancheng said loudly.

"Although you acknowledge me as your master, you are still a disciple of the Celestial Talisman Sect, and Daoist Cao is also your master. You should serve him diligently in the future, do you understand?"

"Disciple will remember the master’s teachings!"

Hearing this, Zhou Xun nodded slightly. He trusted the character of this disciple; otherwise, he wouldn’t have accepted him.
