Chapter 12 - A Shocked Tongtian, Wanting to Accept His Final Disciple
Chapter 12 A Shocked Tongtian, Wanting to Accept His Final Disciple
Above the nine-colored auspicious clouds, a young man clad in a purple-gold Daoist robe sat loftily upon the clouds. Around him, an endless aura of the Dao flowed, making him appear as though he was the very center of the universe—the sole existence of all things.
“Disciple greets the teacher!”
“Disciple greets the teacher!”
“This humble one greets the master!”
“Disciple greets the grandmaster!”
“Greetings to the Sect Leader!”
At that moment, Duo Bao, Jin Ling Sheng Mu, Wu Dang Sheng Mu, Gui Ling Sheng Mu, the Three Immortal Fairies, Zhao Gong Ming, and all the core elites of the Jie Sect, along with the millions of onlooking disciples, immediately bowed deeply upon seeing Tongtian Sect Leader descend.
However, among the countless kneeling figures, only one person stood tall, gazing directly at the grand and imposing Tongtian Sect Leader high above.
Su Chen.
Not only did he feel no fear, but a thought suddenly arose in his mind.
Once I achieve sainthood, will I have such grandeur and authority as well?
Swish!
Tongtian’s gaze swept across the crowd and instantly locked onto Su Chen. Seeing that Su Chen alone remained standing, his bright and clear eyes filled with curiosity, Tongtian’s interest grew even stronger.
“Su Chen, quickly bow to the Master! If the Master becomes displeased, I won’t be able to protect you!”
Sensing that Tongtian was paying special attention to Su Chen, Kui Niu urgently reminded him, fearing that Su Chen might offend his master.
“Poor Daoist Su Chen greets the Sect Leader.”
Hearing Kui Niu’s words, Su Chen clasped his hands in greeting, his spine straight as a spear as he politely yet confidently addressed Tongtian Sect Leader.
Since he had been brought to Jin’ao Island by Kui Niu and had no official title within the Jie Sect, he was merely an ordinary disciple at best. Thus, addressing Tongtian as ‘Sect Leader’ was perfectly appropriate.
At this moment, all the core members of the Jie Sect became even more curious. As a Heavenly Dao Saint, their teacher would never concern himself with something as minor as a sect-wide disciple competition. Yet today, he had appeared in person—why?
Swish!
Realizing the true reason for Tongtian’s arrival, Duo Bao, the Three Immortal Fairies, and the others all turned toward Su Chen.
“Could it be that Teacher has appeared for Su Chen?”
…
“Su Chen, you are quite extraordinary. Would you be willing to join my sect as my final true disciple?”
Tongtian gazed at Su Chen and spoke directly.
Swish!
The moment these words fell, everyone present was utterly stunned. Just moments ago, they had all been shocked that Su Chen had refused Duo Bao, the Three Immortal Fairies, and Chang Er Ding Guang Xian’s offers to become their disciple.
But now—
The Sect Leader himself had personally descended… to take Su Chen as his final true disciple?!
This…
This was simply too unbelievable!
What virtue or ability did Su Chen possess that warranted the personal appearance of a Saint to accept him as a disciple?
As the millions of disciples processed this reality, their gazes instinctively shifted toward that handsome and composed figure.
When Su Chen had refused Duo Bao and the Three Immortal Fairies, they had already been so jealous they could hardly bear it. But now that the Sect Leader himself was offering to take him as a direct disciple, they could no longer feel envy—only boundless reverence and admiration!
They all understood exactly what it meant to become the final true disciple of a Saint. It meant that Su Chen would be the true heir of the Sect Leader’s legacy!
…
In truth, during the competition, Tongtian had been in seclusion. With his status, he naturally would not concern himself with such trivial matters.
However, the moment Su Chen activated the Hongmeng Nine Revolutions Technique on the arena, Tongtian immediately sensed a familiar presence—one that felt strangely intimate. This instantly roused him from seclusion.
When he looked and saw that this presence originated from Su Chen, his curiosity deepened even further. He still vividly remembered when Kui Niu had first brought Su Chen to Jin’ao Island.
Back then, Tongtian had praised Su Chen’s tenacity and resilience, but ultimately deemed him just an ordinary postnatal human with poor talent and limited future potential. Thus, he had never paid much attention to him after that.
But now only 1,000 years later, Su Chen had undergone a transformation so drastic that not even Tongtian himself could perceive his true nature. This shocked Tongtian deeply.
He was a Heavenly Dao Saint, one of the supreme beings of the Primordial World. Yet even he could not discern Su Chen’s origins or true potential—how was this possible?
And yet…
It was the truth. Thus, Tongtian began closely observing Su Chen and even attempted to divine his past using his Saintly powers. But no matter how he calculated, everything aligned perfectly with what Kui Niu had told him—Su Chen’s past was completely ordinary.
“Could it be… that Su Chen is the ‘One Who Escaped the Great Dao’s Calculations’?”
In that instant, Tongtian’s mind was struck by a bold thought. If this was true, then everything made sense. But then Tongtian was shocked once again.
Because he discovered that the technique Su Chen had used was not the Eight-Nine Mystical Art but rather The Nine Revolutions Mystical Art!
This completely shook Tongtian to his core.
The Nine Revolutions Mystical Art was the inherited technique of the Twelve Ancestral Witches—It could only be cultivated by those who possessed the bloodline of Pangu!
Even he, as one of the Three Pure Ones formed from Pangu’s primordial spirit, was unable to cultivate it. Yet Su Chen had mastered it!
This could only mean one thing—Su Chen must have obtained and refined Pangu’s true bloodline!
Otherwise, there was no way he could have cultivated the Nine Revolutions Mystical Art. This also explained why Tongtian felt such an innate sense of closeness to Su Chen. Tongtian was born from Pangu’s Primordial Spirit, while Su Chen had inherited Pangu’s bloodline.
Naturally, they would feel a deep connection. Even more astonishingly Tongtian had always felt a degree of kinship when meeting the Twelve Ancestral Witches, it paled in comparison to what he felt toward Su Chen. This only further confirmed his suspicions.
Su Chen must have obtained a truly unparalleled Pangu-related fortune. There was no doubt about it.
At that moment, Tongtian Sect Leader, a Saint standing at the pinnacle of all existence, had finally made up his mind.He had to take Su Chen as his final direct disciple!
