God Emperor - Chapter 468

Chapter 468: 468


The leader had to enter the top ten of the Heaven Board within three years .

Even Ao Xinyan, who was very confident about her own strength, would not dare to say that she could achieve the goal .

Other people were even less likely .

It was too difficult!

Demi-saint Lingshu glanced around . "Since none of you wants to be the Group Leader, I will appoint a leader for you . Zhang Ruochen, do you have confidence you will enter the top ten of the Heaven Board within three years?"

Zhang Ruochen answered, "Yes . "

Demi-saint Lingshu nodded . "Great! Well then, you are the Group Leader of the first group from now on . When I'm away, you will take charge of all the Saints in the first group . Of course, as a leader, you should really take the lead . Urge your group members to practice hard and provide guidance regarding their practice . "

Many of the Saints revealed looks of dissatisfaction .

Each of them was a God's favored son . They were proud and not willing to obey anyone's order . They were all aggrieved to hear that they had to follow Zhang Ruochen's instructions .

Zhang Ruochen was only a bumpkin whose strength was slightly more powerful . How could he be compared with them?

However, none of them dared to be the Group Leader of the first group . If they objected to the appointment of Zhang Ruochen, Demi-saint Lingshu would definitely be unpleasant .

Therefore, they had to forbear their objection .

Demi-saint Lingshu continued, "Zhang Ruochen, come with me . The rest of you are dismissed . You can familiarize yourself with the Saint Academy or go to the Pavilion of Book Collection and read some rare books on exercises . "

Zhang Ruochen followed Demi-saint Lingshu to the center of the Saint Academy .

The students began to discuss what had just happened .

"I detest having to take orders from Zhang Ruochen . He is just a bumpkin from Omen Ridge . He's nothing!" A rather unconvinced disciple of a Saint family complained .

His name was Zuo Qiuling and he was the disciple of Saint Zuo Gentry . His cultivation had reached the Final State of the Heaven Realm and his comprehensive strength ranked 17th in the first group . He was definitely an outstanding figure .

He was also one of Xi Yunxi's pursuers . Therefore, he was quite hostile towards Zhang Ruochen .

Xi Yunxi stared at Zhang Ruochen's back . "I think the reason Master Lingshu appointed him as the Group Leader is because she wants to take him as a disciple . "

"Definitely," Zuo Qiuling agreed .

Among all the people present, only Duanmu Xingling, who remained silent, knew that the person who wanted to take Zhang Ruochen as his apprentice was not Demi-saint Lingshu, but the second headmaster, Elder Xuanji .

Demi-saint Lingshu was supposed to bring Zhang Ruochen to Elder Xuanji .

She took him to the center of the Saint Academy, Saint Mountain .

From afar, Saint Mountain was like a dark blue dragon lying on the horizon . It was 8,000 meters high . Numerous peaks stood among the mountain . The snow-capped and mist-shrouded mountaintop was like a retreat for immortals .

Zhang Ruochen felt an unusually rich Spiritual Qi blowing before he entered Saint Mountain .

"Saint Mountain is ahead . When you become a Half-Saint, you will be able to open up an abode to practice in Saint Mountain," Demi-saint Lingshu explained to him .

Zhang Ruochen said, "Legend goes that a holy meridian that has been deposited for billions of years lies beneath Saint Mountain . The holy meridian releases thin Holy Qi . If a warrior in the Heaven Realm practices in Saint Mountain, his practice speed can be ten times quicker than usual . "

"That's right . There is a holy meridian at the bottom of Saint Mountain . Tenfold speed is an exaggeration, but a warrior can expect his practice speed to increase at least five-fold . "

Demi-saint Lingshu stared at Zhang Ruochen . "Actually, saints of the Saint Academy can enter Saint Mountain to practice for one day if they accumulate 10,000 merits . "

"The merits can be exchanged with military merits . I suggest you gain experience in the Battlefield of the Primitive World for a period and try hard to reach the Ultimate Realm of the Heaven Realm . "

"Although the Battlefield of the Primitive World is extremely dangerous, it's also a good place to exercise . Even if you can't reach the Ultimate Realm of the Heaven Realm, getting some experience will also be beneficial for you to break into the Fish-dragon Realm . "

Zhang Ruochen replied, "Thank you Master Lingshu, for your advice . "



"You don't have to call me master . Perhaps you will soon call me Senior sister apprentice . Let's go . Follow me to Headmaster Xuanji . "

They entered Saint Mountain and came to a valley filled with pear trees .

The woods were filled with pear flower blossoms . The petals were white and flawless, emitting a light fragrance .

A thick layer of petals covered the ground like snowflakes .

Zhang Ruochen circulated his Genuine Qi into his leg Meridians . A Qi billow soon appeared under his feet . He stepped on it, just above the ground so as not to step on the petals . He looked at the surrounding pear trees in shock . "Are these pear trees the legendary Spiritual Crane Pear?"

Demi-saint Lingshu looked at Zhang Ruochen with surprise, then she smiled . "You do know something . Yes, the Spiritual Crane Pear Garden has 3,600 Spiritual Crane Pear trees in total . "

"The tree needs 300 years to blossom, 300 more years to bear fruit and another 300 years to ripen . Taking a Spiritual Crane Pear cannot only promote cultivation and open the spiritual intelligence of a Monk, it also adds 30 years of life expectancy . When I reached the Half-Saint realm, the Master gave me a Spiritual Crane Pear . "

Zhang Ruochen nodded, amazed .

There was an abundance of Spiritual Crane Pears in the Saint Academy . This was why the Martial Market Bank was far more powerful than other Suzerains and families .

Through the pear garden, a steep black cliff appeared in front of them . On the cliff was a waterfall, like an extremely long white silk leaping down from the Nine Heavens above .

Under the cliff, a white-bearded white-haired elder in a white robe sat cross-legged on an irregular stone table . His wrinkled and old hand was holding a bronze pen and writing something .

Demi-saint Lingshu knelt on one knee and bowed to the elder . "Master . "

"So this is the famous Elder Xunaji, one of the Three Great Sword Saints in the Eastern Region . "

Zhang Ruochen promptly knelt down and saluted Elder Xuanji . He did not dare to be disrespectful .

"Haha! Get up!"

Elder Xuanji laughed brightly and stopped writing .



He seemed to make Zhang Ruochen and Demi-saint Lingshu stand up automatically without showing any means .

SWISH!

When he stopped writing, the sheet of silk cloth on the stone table began to give off a dazzling light and turned into an imperial edict .

This was a real imperial edict . It contained the Saint Power of the Saint and represented the volition and decision of the Saint .

Elder Xuanji looked at Zhang Ruochen and nodded with a smile . He said, "Great, absolutely great . Your sword technique realm has almost reached the Intermediate Stage of the Heart Integrated into Sword . "

Demi-saint Lingshu knew that Elder Xuanji did not compliment disciples easily, but today, he had praised him twice . This showed that Zhang Ruochen's talent was indeed brilliant .

Zhang Ruochen just stood and listened quietly .

Elder Xuanji suddenly became serious and asked, "I have accepted five disciples . Even Ling Shu, whose cultivation is the weakest, has already reached the Half-Saint realm . Zhang Ruochen, would you like to be my sixth disciple?"

"I would . "

Zhang Ruochen did not refuse . He knelt down again and kowtowed to Elder Xuanji . "I bow to my Master," he said .

Elder Xuanji stood up . He laughed loudly and said, "Since you agree, take the edict . "

With a sweep of the arm, the blue imperial edict flew from his hand and landed in front of Zhang Ruochen .

Zhang Ruochen stretched out both hands to receive the imperial edict, then held it in his hands .

The imperial edict recorded that Elder Xuanji would formally accept Zhang Ruochen as his apprentice . The words on it glittered . They contained the volition of a Saint .

Accepting an apprentice was not a simple process; it was a very important decision for a Saint . He needed to issue an imperial edict to affirm the identity of the disciple .

Only Monks who had the imperial edict could be called "disciples of Saints" .



The imperial edict proved the identity of the disciple .

Elder Xuanji smiled . "The imperial edict contains a stream of my Saint Power . If you meet any danger that you cannot deal with, unfold it and the Holy Qi will carry you away thousands of kilometers, providing you an escape route . "

"Of course, if you use up the Holy Qi, it will lose its effect . Therefore, unless there is no other way, you should try your best to overcome difficulties on your own first . "

"I'll follow your advice," Zhang Ruochen said .

Elder Xuanji said, "Until you reach the Half-Saint realm, your fifth Senior sister apprentice, Ling Shu will replace me to teach you the means of practice . What do you think?"

Zhang Ruochen glanced at Demi-saint Lingshu . "The fifth Senior sister apprentice has profound cultivation . Her sword technique realm has far exceeded mine . I will surely learn a lot from her . "

Elder Xuanji nodded . "Since it is so, you may leave . If you have anything important, you can hold the imperial edict and meet me at Saint Mountain . No one will stop you . "

Zhang Ruochen suddenly felt that Elder Xuanji had just hinted something .

"Right! He said that I can enter Saint Mountain freely with the imperial edict . Did he mean that I can enter Saint Mountain anytime to practice?"

Zhang Ruochen was happy . He suddenly felt it was extremely worthwhile to be Elder Xuanji's disciple .

Other Saints needed to accumulate 10,000 merits to practice a day in Saint Mountain . He could enter Saint Mountain anytime to practice without any merit . What a gain!

When Elder Xuanji saw Zhang Ruochen's eyes change, he knew that Zhang Ruochen understood his meaning . He really was a smart young man, well worth teaching .

"Ling Shu, stay here . I have something to tell you . "

Demi-saint Lingshu stayed with Elder Xuanji . Zhang Ruochen stepped out of the Spiritual Crane Pear Garden and walked toward the outside of Saint Mountain .

Just as he was leaving Saint Mountain, he ran into the God's favored daughter of Divine Dragon and half-human clan, Ao Xinyan .

Ao Xinyan had been accepted as a disciple by a Half-Saint . She was also on her way out .

When she saw Zhang Ruochen, she quickly chased him and shouted from a distance, "Zhang Ruochen, fight with me . Today, one of us must win . "Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
