Chapter 129: Becoming a Disciple

. He had already comprehended the essence of six sword intents. This was definitely a prodigy. Even if he joined the Heavenly Flame Palace, he would likely be qualified."No!"Su Xin's eyes narrowed sl...That bald middle-aged man, Jiu Yan, couldn't help but glance back at the third floor of the attic after leaving the library.

"Having passed both the first and second tests in a little over two years, this final third test poses no difficulty for him. It seems that it won't be long before there is another official disciple under Master Shan's command," Jiu Yan chuckled.

He knew very well that the most difficult of the three trials set by the Sixth Mountain Master was the second one.

So many exquisite and profound sword techniques, to master them all to perfection is too difficult, too difficult.

All the powerful individuals who came to learn from the master in the past mostly stopped at this second test.

And the first test, it's just a larger quantity of swordsmanship, requiring enough patience to endure loneliness without becoming agitated. With a slightly higher aptitude for swordsmanship, it's easy to pass.

As for the final third test...it is, in fact, the simplest of the three tests.

This kind of test is purely theoretical knowledge, testing one's ability to comprehend and understand.

Perhaps ordinary people would still struggle for a while in this third test, but Su Xin was tested as a true dragon-level genius. Passing this test was basically a certainty.

As expected, it took Su Xin nearly a month to complete the first volume of Swordsmanship Theory, the first volume's assessment.

After that, Su Xin's speed began to increase.

Eight months after Su Xin began the third trial.

Jiuyuan smiled and looked at Su Xin in front of him. "Su Xin, congratulations, you are the first person in Jiusheng Mountain to complete the test set by the mountain master."

Finally, the work on Su Xin is complete and she can't help but be excited.

Triple test...

The first test took him seven months and one year.

The second trial took a year and three months.

The third test also took eight months.

This all added up, a total of three years and six months, it's finally finished.

Before he knew it, he was twenty-five years old.

"Come on, follow me to see Lord Jiuyan of the mountains,"

Two people walked out of the library. Jiuyuan brought Su Xin to a cave dwelling.

"Waiting here

"

Jiuyan said something, then entered the cave himself.

In the stone chamber of the cave dwelling, Jiu Yan respectfully stood there, truthfully reporting to the Sixth Mountain Master about Su Xin's completed trials.

"Have you finished the test already It's a bit faster than I expected." The Sixth Mountain Master muttered.

Soon, the Sixth Mountain Master and Jiuyuan walked out of the cave together.

Su Xin waited quietly outside the cave. When he saw someone coming out of the cave, he looked over and immediately saw the man with long hair walking in front of Jiu Yan. His face was as sharp as a blade, cold and aloof.

At first, he didn't feel anything, but as the cold and austere man's gaze fell upon him.

Boom!!

Su Xin could only feel a ringing in her head.

Standing before him, this solitary figure seemed like an unsheathed divine sword piercing the heavens, tearing through his very being. Its brilliance was so profound that even the boundless expanse of heaven and earth could not conceal its sharpness.

And he stood at the foot of this peerless divine sword, small as a speck of dust.

This cold and stern man with long hair had deep eyes like the vast starry sky. Even without any movement, everything around him revolved around him as his core. Even thousands of sword intents beneath his feet had to submit.

"That's terrifying!!"

Su Xin's heart trembled, just one glance sent chills down his spine, and goosebumps erupted all over his body.

He even seemed to see the entirety of kendo embodied in this man with his austere, long hair.

This feeling... Even though he had met several transcendent powerhouses before, those transcendent powerhouses also left a deep impression on him, but no one had ever been as special as the person in front of him. He even felt compelled to worship and submit.

This, is the sixth mountain master.

Su Xin only glanced at him before immediately lowering his head, not daring to look the other person in the eye anymore.

Xu Xin

At this time, the sixth mountain master also spoke, “You are a True Dragon-level genius detected by the Heavenly Examination Stele. Your talent and comprehension should, in theory, be at the highest level among geniuses in the Eastern Desolation. However, you took three years and six months to complete the test set by this seat. This performance is much worse than the True Dragon-level geniuses I imagined.”

Su Xin listened respectfully, not daring to retort.

And Jiu Yan, who was beside him, heard the Sixth Mountain Master's words, a strange smile flickered across his lips.

He remembered that just inside the cave dwelling, he had heard the Sixth Mountain Master say that Su Xin had completed the trial faster than he had imagined.

He is now saying, right in front of Su Xin, that Su Xin's performance is much worse than he imagined...

However, he didn't point it out either. Having followed the Sixth Mountain Master for so many years, he naturally understood his master's temperament.

“Originally, with your performance, you wouldn't even be qualified to be this seat’s disciple. However, since this seat had previously spoken, it cannot be taken back. Since you have completed the three trials set by this seat, from today onwards, you shall be this seat’s registered disciple. Pay respects.” The Sixth Mountain Master said coldly.

"Disciple Su Xin, bows to Master!"

Su Xin immediately performed the disciple's prostration, right in front of this cave dwelling, and respectfully kowtowed three times to the Sixth Mountain Master.

Although he is only a registered disciple, Su Xin is already very satisfied.

Get up.

With a wave of his hand, Lord Liushen made Su Xin stand up.

Although you have become a disciple under my command, your current cultivation level is far too low. Before you truly transcend, I will only give you three opportunities to ask for guidance. If you encounter insurmountable confusion or difficulties in your practice, you may use one opportunity to ask me for advice.

After a pause, the Sixth Mountain Master continued, "Furthermore, the three trials I've set up will each be beneficial to you in different ways. You have just completed one trial, and over the next two months, you can take your time to truly experience its effects. Two months later, I will send you to the Hongtian Realm for a period of enlightenment. Make the most of this opportunity."

After finishing his words, the Sixth Mountain Master turned and walked toward the cave dwelling.

"Master, respectfully farewell,"

Su Xin bowed again.

Not until the sixth mountain peak completely disappeared from view did Su Xin let out a heavy sigh.

My own master, he felt like a peerless divine sword with its blade gleaming brightly. His boundless sword intent was all beneath his feet. Standing before him, I truly felt suffocated.

And upon first contact, Su Xin also discovered that his master was very strict.

It is really strict.

To be able to complete those three trials in such a short time is already quite difficult, but in the eyes of the Sixth Mountain Master, it's nothing special.

Of course, Su Xin didn't mind either, after all, a strict teacher can produce outstanding students.

……

"Su Xin, you can live here from now on."

Jiu Yan brought Su Xin to a courtyard at the top of Mount Sixth Sacred Mountain.

Before Su Xin had chosen a residence on the hillside of Zi Jing Mountain, but now that he had become a disciple of the Sixth Mountain Master, he could naturally choose a place to live on the Sixth Sacred Mountain.

Thank you, Sir Jiu Yan Su Xindao for your thanks.

"Now that you have become the mountain master's disciple, you don't have to call me Master anymore. Just call me Senior Brother," Jiu Yan said.

"Senior brother" Su Xin glanced at Jiu Yan.

"I've followed Mountain Master for many years. Although I haven't formally become his disciple, he has taught me a great deal, so I can be considered his half-disciple. You calling me senior brother won't be a loss," Jiu Yan laughed.

"Jiu Yan, brother Su Xin also changed his name to shout."

"That's more like it," Jiuyuan chuckled, then flipped his hand and produced a jade bottle, handing it to Su Xin.

This jade bottle contains a pill of alchemy.

"As your senior brother, I don't have much to offer you. This pill is a token of my greeting. Farewell, Jiuyuan."

"What is this pill" Su Xin wondered. He glanced at it, able to tell that the pill was extraordinary, but he didn't know its specific use.

“This is the Holy Spirit Pill, this is a good thing. In the future, when you are wandering outside, or going to the battlefield to fight, encountering danger, being seriously injured, even at the point of death, just swallow this pill, and the injury will almost be completely restored.” Nine Rock Dao said.

"At the brink of death, swallowing this pill could immediately recover" Su Xin was surprised.

This elixir is like having an extra life.

"Senior Brother Jiuyan, this pill is so precious…" Su Xin was just about to decline.

"Take this, although this elixir is precious, my senior brother still has a few Nine Rock Dao pills on hand."

"Well then, thank you, Senior Brother. " Su Xin no longer declined and carefully took the jade bottle.

While Jiuyan simply smiled faintly.

Don't be fooled by his seemingly simple and honest exterior, for in reality he is very aware that the Sixth Mountain Lord places great importance on Su Xin!

Furthermore, Su Xin's talent is astounding. Such a peerless genius, forging connections in advance would definitely be beneficial.

"Brother, the mountain master instructed that over these two months you must carefully organize your gains from the three trials and earnestly reflect on them. The mountain master set up these trials for a reason, so cherish them," Nine Rock cautioned.

"Hmm, I understand," Su Xin nodded. "Also, Jiu Yan shixiong, what exactly is the Hongtian Realm that Shizun mentioned before"

"Hong Tianjie"

Jiuyan smiled, "Speaking of the Heavenly Realm of Hongtian, I'm a little envious of you, junior brother."

"That's the greatest opportunity within Mount Jiusheng! It's a place that countless Nirvana Realm cultivators, even some transcendent powerhouses, within Mount Jiusheng deeply desire."

"There, there are great opportunities, but each person only has one chance to enter. Like me, I went to the Hongtian Realm to contemplate once before. That time, the harvest was immense, but unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to go again since."

Su Xin heard this, and couldn't help but be moved.

A place of countless nirvana realms, even those who have already surpassed the limits desire it with all their might

Furthermore, the Hongtian Realm only opens once every twenty years, and each opening allows a maximum of nine people to enter for enlightenment. Therefore, these enlightenment quotas are extremely rare. Just to obtain an enlightenment quota, one must pay a tremendous price, a price that is enough to make many peak five-step Nirvana masters pay their entire life's accumulation

Even if you were to obtain an enlightenment quota, you'd still have to exert your influence, or the power of your faction, to compete with others who also received quotas. You'd be fighting tooth and nail for a chance. Otherwise, you'd be stuck waiting in line, sometimes for decades, even centuries, before it was your turn.

Su Xin couldn't help but be stunned.

Is there such a rare opportunity to enter the realm of Heaven

“Of course, others need to pay a huge price and fight tooth and nail for it, but you're different. Since the mountain master said he would send you to the Hongtian Realm in two months, he will naturally arrange everything for you. All you need to do when the time comes is to go inside and comprehend.”

Su Xin also smiled.

Of course, it's good to have someone to rely on.

Within the confines of Mount Jiusheng, others battled tooth and nail for a chance to attain enlightenment. But for myself, my master decided my fate with a single word.

……tlefield are only a few. It's not that easy to encounter them.Moreover, even if you encountered him, wanting to kill him wouldn't be so easy.After momentarily letting go of his worries, Su Xin immedia...
