Chapter 239: Bodhisattva, Have You Truly Awoken?

“Soul Suppressor of the Mingxin Mountain Range, Cloud Abyss Peak.”

Xu Disheng stepped forward half a step and said, “Disciple is present.”

Realm Master Kunxu glanced at him and said, “Greater Lord Mingxin has passed down a Greater Lord decree, conferring you as the twelfth Shangqing Sacred Son of the Shangqing Sacred Sect. Henceforth, you must prioritize the Shangqing Sacred Sect in all matters. If there comes a time where you do not act to the greatest benefit of the Sacred Sect, you will suffer the punishment of the Purple Thunder Heart Oath Tribulation.”

Xu Disheng said, “Disciple is willing to accept the conferment.”

The golden silk brocade floated up into the air and transformed into countless motes of light, which entered Xu Disheng’s sea of consciousness, streaming into the Mirror Bodhi, the nine-petal lotus platform.

A faint halo rose from the Mirror Bodhi, and Xu Disheng had an inexplicable feeling that he could now slightly utilize this Dao-protecting treasure, which was personally refined and nurtured by Greater Lord Quicksand, without any hindrance.

Realm Master Kunxu’s palm once again produced a golden silk brocade, but this time when he spoke, his tone hinted at a fluctuation in his mood. “At Greater Lord Mingxin’s decree, Shangqing Sacred Son Soul Suppressor and Shangqing Sacred Daughter Yao Tan are to become cultivation partners. The Chu Territory, where Soul Suppressor was born, will be conferred to him as his fief. Greater Lord Mingxin will personally utilize his Higher Knowledge ability to somewhat refine and perfect the laws of the realm, elevating it from a Mortal Secret Realm to an ordinary Secret Realm.”

Greater Lord Zhuri was the one who had selected Xu Disheng to become a Shangqing Sacred Son, but Xu Disheng was someone from the Mingxin Mountain Range. Between the balance of power of Greater Lord Mingxin and Greater Lord Zhuri, it was decided that Xu Disheng was to take Yao Tan, a direct bloodline descendant of Greater Lord Mingxin, as his cultivation partner, inextricably intertwining their karma.

Yao Tan possessed a Rank 3 upper class Spiritual Root and had cultivated an extremely miraculous profound law foundation, giving her potential to become a Clone Avatar stage Greater Lord in the future. But despite all that, she still fundamentally could not resist a Clone Avatar stage Greater Lord at the very pinnacle of the Shangqing Sacred Sect.

Since this matter couldn’t be changed, Yao Tan naturally would not act like a mundane woman and try to put on airs. Her previous abnormal behavior towards Xu Disheng previously was because she already truly regarded him as her future husband.

Even if Greater Lord Mingxin asked her to marry a man other than Xu Disheng, she would still do this. After all, there was nothing she could do but accept it.

This time, Xu Disheng did not directly accept the conferment. Instead, he lifted his gaze, looking at this half-step Clone Avatar stage Primordial Lord. “Realm Master Kunxu, about this matter of cultivation partners…”

A Primordial Lord standing to one side in the hall directly interrupted him: “Soul Suppressor Sacred Son, this matter of cultivation partners was personally decided by Greater Lord Mingxin. There is no possibility of any change regarding this matter.”

His tone was very gentle. After Xu Disheng was officially conferred as Shangqing Sacred Son, his status ended up rising a lot compared to an ordinary Sacred Son. Now, his status was on par with a Primordial Lord.

Chen Xunming also spoke up. “Soul Suppressor Sacred Son, Exalted Sacred Daughter Yao Tan is the only one among the many descendants of Greater Lord Mingxin who has the qualifications to reach the Clone Avatar stage. Plus, the entire Chu Territory, where you were born, is serving as the dowry. What is there to hesitate about?”

Xu Disheng gently shook his head, saying: “Realm Master Kunxu, about this matter of cultivation partners, what if Disciple is unwilling?”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the several Primordial Lords in the hall flashed through a series of expressions.

Yao Tan’s eyes were also filled with frost, coldly looking at this young man in the hall.

Defying the order of a Clone Avatar stage Greater Lord… They had never thought he would choose to do something so disgraceful!

Only Realm Master Kunxu’s face was indifferent, saying: “If you really are unwilling, then you will be stripped of the title of Shangqing Sacred Son, and you will be returned to the cycle of reincarnation.”

Although his tone was calm, it was filled with an irresistible, domineering coldness.

This matter was very normal. Xu Disheng now bore the ponderous weight of the thread of karma from Greater Lord Zhuri, and he also had some karmic connections with Saint Lord Mingxin of the Mingxin Mountain Range, to which he belonged.

The thought process behind the compromise between the two Greater Lords was to let Yao Tan and Xu Disheng become cultivation partners, so they could then pool the resources of both of their influences to nurture the two, which would provide a bit more certainty for the two of them to break through to the Clone Avatar stage.

Xu Disheng’s mind moved slightly, and in his sea of consciousness, the Theory of Causality appeared again. Under the observation of his Soul Force senses, there were countless illusory yet seemingly corporeal threads extending from his body, which stretched off into the distance.

As it turned out, he had hundreds of illusory threads entwined with the girl in the red dress at his side.

Opening his eyes, Xu Disheng said: “Realm Master Kunxu, Disciple is willing to accept the conferment.”

Realm Master Kunxu was not surprised in the least. After all, only a fool would choose otherwise.

The golden silk brocade in his hand floated up into the air just like last time, transforming into motes of light that channeled into Xu Disheng’s sea of consciousness.

“Refining Heart Mountain Lord, pass down my decree to the Mountain Lords of the Eight Mountains at once. Soul Suppressor Sacred Son of Morning Dew Peak is the twelfth Shangqing Sacred Son of the Shangqing Sacred Sect, with the Chu Territory as his fief. After the Chu Territory is promoted from a Mortal Secret Realm to a Common Secret Realm, he and Exalted Sacred Daughter Yao Tan are to become cultivation partners.”

The Primordial Lord who spoke earlier stepped forward and bowed slightly. “As you command, Realm Master Kunxu.”

This Primordial Lord was none other than the Mountain Lord of the Second Mountain, the Refining Heart Mountain Range!

…

With the decree of Realm Master Kunxu being passed down from the Yuluo Realm, the Eight Mountains of the Shangqing Sacred Sect were shaken!

The most recent conferment of an Exalted Sacred Son or Daughter was over 130 years ago, with the emergence of Exalted Sacred Daughter Yao Tan.

If one were to trace back to the previous Shangqing Sacred Son or Daughter before her, it would be hundreds of years ago.

After more than a hundred years, the Shangqing Sacred Sect once again produced a disciple with the qualifications to reach the Clone Avatar stage. And it was not the blood descendant of any Clone Avatar stage Greater Lord, but a native from a Mortal Secret Realm!

The position of a Shangqing Sacred Son or Daughter was extremely rare. If a Shangqing Sacred Son or Daughter was killed or their lifespan was expended, or if they broke into the Clone Avatar stage Greater Lord, their title of Shangqing Sacred Son or Daughter would be revoked. Thus, at this time, there were only twelve Shangqing Sacred Sons in the entire Shangqing Sacred Sect.

Before breaking into the Clone Avatar stage, Greater Lord Zhuri and Red Nacre Greater Lord had also been respectively conferred the titles of Shangqing Sacred Son and Shangqing Sacred Daughter.

And among the Clone Avatar stage Greater Lords, only two people had not been conferred the title of Shangqing Sacred Son. These two people were the current Sect Master Greater Lord Qingxuan and the Realm Spirit of the Mirage Sea Illusion Realm, Mirage Spirit Greater Lord.

…

“Exalted Soul Suppressor Sacred Son, Li Daoming, the Hall Master of the Spirit Origin Hall on the Wenyuan Mountain Range, has come to visit.”

“Exalted Soul Suppressor Sacred Son, Chen Junsheng of the Wenyuan Mountain Range has come to visit.”

“Exalted Soul Suppressor Sacred Son, Burning Heart Sacred Son from the Shangqing Mountain Range has come to visit.”

Chu Luo, Zhang Haobo, Quan Hongyu, and the other disciples of the Cloud Abyss Peak were all excited, welcoming one high-ranking figure after another to Cloud Abyss Peak. Not long after, they would respectfully send them away. Such a situation continued for several days, and many talented and exceptional Sacred Sons and Sacred Daughters came and went from Cloud Abyss Peak.

The gifts Xu Disheng received from these people, congratulating him on ascending to the position of Shangqing Sacred Son, were enough to fill dozens of high-grade interspatial rings.

Apart from these ordinary Sacred Sons and Sacred Daughters and talented disciples from the Eight Mountain Ranges, the Divine Core stage Spirit Masters of the Mingxin Mountain Range also came to the Cloud Abyss Peak. They all left him with precious and rare cultivation resources as congratulatory gifts.

After a few more days, peace was restored on Cloud Abyss Peak, and Xu Disheng sat alone in the back hall of the Profound Resonance Hall. But in the depths of his soul, there was an inexplicable sense of fatal danger approaching, as if a great terror was about to descend.

An extremely noble aura suddenly surged from the ancient, golden true spirit!

Xu Disheng’s soul trembled, and under the weight of this powerful aura, even his consciousness began to blur. Forcing his mind to remain calm, he found that the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda had rushed out of his sea of consciousness. It was now floating in the air in front of him, and it was completely out of his control!

“Master!” The Immortal Treasure trembled, filled with indescribable joy, “Master, have you awakened?”

The dazzling, golden Buddhist light tried to break free from the countless 卍 character seals, but it could not free itself from the restrictions. However, the ancient and noble aura was growing stronger and more powerful.

“Mere ant.”

An incomparably cold voice resounded in Xu Disheng’s mind, and a ray of golden Buddhist light suddenly burst through the endless 卍 seals. After escaping from the constraints of the seals, this singular ray of Buddhist light instantaneously splintered and blossomed into ten thousand rays of Buddhist light, engulfing Xu Disheng’s entire sea of consciousness.

Excruciating pain became the only thing in Xu Disheng’s world, and he instantly lost all consciousness. Just before Xu Disheng’s mind was completely annihilated by the golden Buddhist light inundating his sea of consciousness, the Mirror Bodhi furtively transformed into a very faint, well-hidden ray of cyan light, which wrapped up Xu Disheng’s soul and disappeared.

A moment later, “Xu Disheng’s” eyes opened, and resplendent golden light shone from his eyes, dyeing the entire Profound Resonance Hall in a dazzling shade of gold.contemporary romance
