Kai gently pressed once again with the palm of his hand.
The crystal sphere displayed its effect again, emitting a temperature so scorching that it distorted the space around it, accompanied by a mist that seemed to contain Immortal Qi.
The two Elders widened their eyes at sensing this powerful energy, but their surprise turned into jubilation upon reading the text displayed on the sphere.
"It's true!"
"These are the legendary Celestial Rank Roots..."
"It's truly astonishing, defying the 'Heavens'. How can a simple examination of spiritual roots reveal Immortal Qi?"
"It's a fortune for our Hehuan Sect to find a young one with such potential."
"Yes... I want to take him as my disciple."
"What? Kai has already agreed to join me! You can't break the rules!"
…
The two Elders began to argue, emanating an aura that grew with each comment.
Hao, seeing the potential danger for the sect, intervened and embraced them both by the shoulders.
"Please, elder brother, Kai has already made a decision."
"...Sigh..."
The Old Devil eyed his younger brother sharply for a moment before calming down.
Directing a serene gaze at Kai, something that surprised him.
"Boy, are you sure?"
"If you follow me, I will teach you my Supreme Art for a lifetime."
"I guarantee swift growth if you follow me."
Xiaoyao Daoist frowned upon hearing this and snorted coldly.
"With so many concubines, and not all of them mortal, your expenses are considerable."
"Your best option is to let him come with me and enjoy carefree."
"Besides, as I mentioned earlier, he has already made a decision."
Kai, feeling the stares directed at him, asserted firmly: "Honorable Elders, I have already made a decision and I will not regret it!"
But in his mind, he wondered:
Could my spiritual roots be my "Trap", as in fantasy novels?
As a traveler in this fantasy world, does it not make sense to possess a "Trap"?
From this, he began to consider his future in this reality.
The prospect of attaining immortality and the power of novel protagonists, while enjoying life, would be great!
…
After Kai's words, the Grand Hall fell into a long silence.
Breaking the tension, the Old Devil sighed, "Forget it, it's destiny..."
"Younger brother, stop lazing around and help this young man reach his full potential."
"Kai Chen is the future of the sect... Let's not miss this opportunity!"
Although there are hundreds of disciples in the Hehuan Sect.
Only a few can catch the attention of the two Elders.
And those who do become formal apprentices or direct disciples.
Previously, the Old Devil was not only diligent in taking concubines, but also actively accepted apprentices and trained them.
He already has ten disciples under his tutelage.
Although Xiaoyao Daoist also has a high level of cultivation.
He only has two disciples. Therefore, upon hearing the words of the Grand Elder, Xiaoyao Daoist's green eyes became sharp, and he said with a deep voice, "Don't worry, this time I'm serious."
The sect leader, Hao, softened the situation with a smile, "Hahaha, let's not have young Kai spend all day listening to music."
"Of course," said Xiaoyao Daoist seriously.
…
"Very well, come with me, I have something to show you," said Xiaoyao Daoist with a radiant smile.
Leaving the Grand Hall with Kai following him, they headed towards Língwù Gǔ.
This vast territory, as its name suggests, is filled with valleys shrouded in an ethereal mist that seems to dance to the rhythm of the earth's own breath. The valleys stretch out like the fingers of a giant hand, each offering a unique and charming landscape. In some, the mist thickens to the point of enveloping everything in a silvery cloak, while in others, it dissipates enough to reveal the silhouette of ancient trees and crystalline streams. In every corner of these valleys, spiritual Qi condenses in subtle yet powerful forms, infusing the air with a palpable sense of energy.
It is in these valleys that the disciples of the sect live and practice.
Leading Kai to this place, Xiaoyao Daoist naturally drew the attention of the local residents.
Most of them, sitting in lotus position or leaning against the wall, watched with curious gazes.
"Is the Second Elder going out?"
"Who is that young man next to the Second Elder?"
"He must be the Elder's new disciple..."
They knew that Xiaoyao Daoist hadn't accepted disciples in a long time.
And although the Grand Elder had accepted disciples, they had to have impressive talents.
Therefore, only a few chosen ones could boast of being disciples of the Elders in the Hehuan Sect, possessing a much higher status than internal and external disciples.
-
Through the countless valleys and thick fog, Kai, with the help of the Second Elder, arrived at a true paradise within the paradise. Here, the landscapes reached new heights of beauty and serenity.
Lush grasslands stretched out, dotted with millennia-old herbs that shimmered with their own light and exhaled intoxicating fragrances. The trees, of various colors and shapes, stood majestically, their leaves whispering ancient secrets to the wind.
Beyond, the mountains rose towards the sky, like eternal guardians silently watching over the vast and tranquil valley.
The scene was so impressive that it seemed to have escaped from the most vivid dreams, a haven of peace and beauty amidst a tumultuous world, where the connection with spiritual Qi was deeper and harmony with nature was felt in every fiber of one's being. It was a place of rejuvenation.
Despite having seen this place countless times, Xiaoyao Daoist said with excitement:
"This used to be the residence of the sect's holy son, but since we haven't found a suitable candidate in a long time, we've left it be. It doesn't have a residence, but I'll have someone build one for you, and you'll live here in the future."
"Now, I'll take you to meet your two older brothers."
Kai was still in shock from the incredible sight when the Second Elder urged him to leave with him.
Regaining his senses, he felt ecstatic.
Free food and living in this paradise. It's like fulfilling a dream.
Listening to a soft voice, Kai was able to snap out of his thoughts.
Xiaoyao Daoist pointed to the young man, saying, "This is your older brother, Galaxy Cluster."
Galaxy Cluster stood out with his distinctive appearance and his serene yet imposing presence. His shaved head highlighted the delicate shape of his face, which was illuminated by eyes of a shining golden color, full of fierceness. The slender structure of his body suggested extraordinary agility and skill, as if he were always ready to face any challenge that arose. Dressed in a tunic of a light and soft yellow, Galaxy Cluster, despite his eyes, emanated a sense of calm and tranquility.
Then he pointed to the handsome young man next to him, saying, "This is your second older brother, Yu Qingxuan."
With an imposing stature and an upright posture, Yu Qingxuan exuded a relaxed and self-assured presence. His dark hair fell in wavy strands over his shoulders, framing a face with defined features.
His eyes of a deep light blue color reflected an unwavering determination and a penetrating gaze.
His sun-bronzed skin and serene countenance, dressed in a tunic of jade green color, embroidered with subtle patterns that evoked images of nature in bloom.
Finally, after introducing them, he said solemnly:
"Galaxy Cluster, Qingxuan, this is my disciple and your new younger brother whom I accepted today, Kai Chen."
"Now that those who practice the Demonic Path are falling, we must help each other to revive the sect!"
Originally, Galaxy had a bored look on his face, but seeing his master speaking solemnly, his bored look dissipated into a doubtful one as he asked:
"Master, what's going on today?"
"Since when do we, Devil Cultivators, care about others? We just need to have a good time."
"Is this our new younger brother? He has very suitable features! Haha, I'll take you for a walk around the city..."
Shaking his head, the Second Elder said firmly: "Kai has Celestial Rank roots."
"What?!"
Both Galaxy Cluster and Yu Qingxuan showed surprise.
Spiritual roots are the foundation of an individual's cultivation potential and determine their aptitude for absorbing, manipulating, and cultivating this spiritual energy to strengthen their body, increase their power, and achieve enlightenment.
And Celestial Rank roots exponentially increase the potential of those who possess them.
And this young man has Solar Celestial Roots, which are very suitable for the Demonic Path.
If this news were to spread, it would cause problems for the small Sect in which he resides, as those Great Sects would desperately want someone with such talent.
But the question here is why come here, having other places that could offer him countless times more than what a small Hehuan Sect could offer.
"I'm telling you two this because I know you're smart and won't tell anyone," Xiaoyao said lightly. "Lately, the sect has been in an extremely relaxed state, affecting the competitiveness and cultivation of sect members."
Offended, Galaxy Cluster defended himself: "Master, you can't blame us!"
"It was you who said we should control ourselves when we were at Goulan."
"So we can't practice even if we want to..."
Xiaoyao mocked him. "There's a reason I told you that. I don't want my disciple to only practice Dual Cultivation. Doesn't our sect have other Arts?"
"But it's true that Dual Cultivation is the foundation of our Sect and should not be left behind..."
Thinking, Xiaoyao came up with an idea.
"How about this..."
"I'll think of a way to find a marriage for you two."
Upon hearing this, Galaxy Cluster revealed a touch of joy in his smile.
Marrying a daughter-in-law is no small matter.
Yu Qingxuan, with a doubtful look on his face, asked suspiciously, "Master... what about the younger brother?"
Xiaoyao said calmly: "Him?"
"He'll marry a Fairy directly."
