Chapter 0007: Calmly and Clearly Understanding the Original Intention of the Path

Seeing Xu Yu's expression, although Qin Haoxuan appeared calm and composed, his heart was in turmoil like a tangled mess

Tsk tsk, Prince Li Jing is actually of the Purple lineage, the Li family dynasty is destined to last for generations to come

The continuous emergence of two purple seeds is unimaginable in those supreme religions. With their presence, how glorious the future of the Primordial Church will be!

Hmph, that may not necessarily be the case. Doesn't your Baihua Hall still wish to accept male disciples? Why can't our Xiayun Hall accept female disciples?

Next, Qin Haoxuan

"I humbly follow the teachings of my ancestors." Qin Haoxuan bent down and bowed. The Master Luo Ye held a very high status in the Taichu sect, and although he was of noble identity, he did not carry the arrogance of a great master. Instead, he encouraged himself, which is worthy of respect

The master made a decisive statement, and naturally, no one else had any objections; the testing continued.

Is Brother Zhang Kuang's home still in Daitian Town, Xiaoyu Mountain? I have a newly built royal residence in the capital. If Brother Zhang and his family do not mind, I can invite the two elders to move there. My father, the emperor, will certainly treat them with the courtesy befitting nobles, allowing them to enjoy a life of honor and wealth in their later years

It has been determined that the two individuals of the Purple variety, who are adept at leaf shedding, did not dwell excessively on Qin Haoxuan. They cast a regretful glance at him and encouraged, "Do not lose heart, work hard! The path of cultivation holds infinite possibilities; efforts made after birth and fortuitous encounters can also compensate for innate deficiencies"

The elders in the stands, the four hall masters, and the sect leader, Huang Long Zhenren, all stared wide-eyed, incredulously fixated on the dazzling "Mingjian Xianyan".

Even for those supreme sects that have existed for thousands of years, only one purple seed disciple has emerged; however, today at Huangdi Peak, two purple seeds have appeared consecutively, which is unimaginable in other supreme sects. The current demeanor of Master Huanglong is not only composed but also remarkably steady.

With the roll call of the Falling Leaves Real Person, Li Jing stepped onto the testing platform

Surrounded by a large crowd, Zhang Kuang let out a cold laugh and cursed, calling Qin Haoxuan a waste, asserting that his talent was indeed poor. Once he mastered his spiritual techniques, it would be the time for Qin Haoxuan to suffer! The supporters around Zhang Kuang deduced that the relationship between them, being fellow townsmen, was extremely poor. They praised Zhang Kuang while belittling Qin Haoxuan. These lowly flattery made Zhang Kuang feel extremely comfortable, boosting his confidence to the brim, and the frustration he had endured for sixteen years under Qin Haoxuan's oppression was instantly released.

Each generation of the royal family selects a highly qualified prince to go to the Taichu Sect for cultivation, bearing the mission of becoming the future guardian of the Li Dynasty, ensuring the dynasty's longevity for thousands of years. Li Jing is the prince chosen in this generation.

"Master Huanglong, my Bamboozle Hall has always maintained a good relationship with the Li royal family. Every year, we send hundreds of various elixirs. This child, Li Jing, must have grown up consuming the pills I refined, so it is only natural for him to be my disciple, right?" Bamboozlezi was the first to jump out, not caring that his own image of being calm and composed had been completely ruined. Gu Yunzi, in order to accept a disciple of the gray lineage, had abandoned all sense of propriety; why should he care about his own image?

The two consecutive disciples of the Purple category, even someone as composed as Master Huang Long, could not help but burst into laughter: "Ten years ago, the old man Chang Mei, the leader of the Qing sect in the Great Celebration Kingdom, took in a disciple of the Red category, claiming that within three hundred years he would surpass our Taichu Sect. Today, with our Taichu Sect having two consecutive disciples of the Purple category, is it not a thousand times stronger than his Qing sect?"

In the realm of cultivation, everything is based on strength; even if one holds the esteemed title of prince, without exceptional power and potential, one cannot establish a foothold, let alone raise a force of one's own.

Below the stage, Li Jing and his companions let out a sigh of lamentation. Murong Chao's gaze was cold, already plotting how to take revenge. Murong Chao was also a gray immortal seed, incomparable to the arrogant Li Jing. It was a foregone conclusion that after reaching the Immortal Seed realm, he would enter one of the Four Great Halls. Qin Haoxuan, being a weak seed, was fundamentally incomparable to him

As for the esteemed seniors of the Taichu Sect in the stands, they have already become numb with excitement. One disciple of the Purple Seed is enough to transform a sect into a supreme great teaching; what about two or three? Is the Taichu Sect aiming to unify the cultivation world? At the very least, in a hundred or so years, once the three Purple Seed disciples have matured, they will be able to speak with authority even to the leaders of the ten-thousand-year great teachings. When they have fully grown... the ten-thousand-year great teachings will also have to submit and relinquish the position of leader to Taichu. By that time... will the spiritual mountains and spiritual veins not be easily taken by Taichu?

Countless disciples cast envious glances at Zhang Kuang, while Zhang Yang, who had just been so arrogant, hurried over, calling him "boss" in a fawning manner, completely devoid of the slightest bit of pride he had shown earlier. The vast chasm between the gray and purple factions was evident from the behavior of the elders.

What good changes are there in Gu Yun Tang? Come to Xia Yun Tang more often, and we can discuss the principles of divination together

The next thirty disciples tested were all colorless weak types, but this did not affect the good mood of Master Huang Long in the slightest. Having even one gray type would be considered a gain, let alone the fact that two supreme purple types emerged.

At last, it was Qin Haoxuan's turn to test the immortal seed. Due to his fight with Murong Chao last night, even the esteemed Prince Li Jing took a step back, instead offering kind words of invitation, leading people to speculate that Qin Haoxuan must be quite powerful, and they all wondered what kind of immortal seed he would possess

Upon hearing this, Su Baihua and the others were shocked and secretly lamented. The ancestor had secluded himself at Qilin Peak for several hundred years, ignoring worldly matters; why bother him with such a trivial matter as accepting a few disciples of the Purple Seed rank

"Peh, still come to my Baihua Hall..."

After all, he was someone who had experienced grand occasions. Despite feeling a bit anxious inside, Li Jing maintained a calm and composed demeanor as he approached the testing platform

Next, Li Jing

Xu Yu smiled shyly, filled with a sense of regret and loneliness

Purple ... ... Purple species

How bold! You should come to Guyun Hall more often, you and Zhang Yang can support each other and make progress together

Many children from humble backgrounds lament why they are not of noble birth, for otherwise their parents could also enjoy the honors of nobility, rise to prominence in one leap, and bring glory to their ancestors

As soon as Su Baihua opened her mouth, she was immediately interrupted by the resentful Xia Yunzi, who spoke in a sarcastic tone: "Cultivators must avoid the allure of women; with impure senses and unending emotions, how can one seek the supreme path? The Hundred Flowers Hall is dominated by yin, and if Li Jing were to go, wouldn't his bit of yang energy be completely suppressed? It is better not to go."

Qin Haoxuan was identified as a weak breed, and Elder Luoye's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt. How could someone with innate spiritual energy like him have such poor qualifications? The "Mingjian Immortal Eye" certainly cannot be wrong; it must be that he misread it.

Is our Taichu Sect going against the heavens?

Zhang Kuang and Murong Chao's gazes towards Qin Haoxuan also became complicated. In case Xu Yu, recalling the events of last night, decides to protect Qin Haoxuan in the future, it would not be easy to take action.

Qin Haoxuan strode confidently onto the testing platform, bowed respectfully to the Master of Falling Leaves, and placed his hand into the cold "Mingjian Immortal Eye"

Su Baihua wore a satisfied smile, too lazy to pay any attention to Xia Yunzi. Unless something unexpected happens, Xu Yu will inevitably join Baihua Hall, and as for the remaining two, let them fight among themselves.

However, Qin Haoxuan remained undeterred. He firmly believed that hard work could compensate for innate deficiencies. Moreover, he had the little snake as his trump card. If only those with strong celestial roots could achieve greatness, then why would the Taichu Sect keep weaker disciples? They might as well bring along a "Mingjian Celestial Eye" and simply select those with strong celestial roots.

It was just that no one noticed that after Li Jing also tested positive for the Supreme Purple Seed, his gaze towards Zhang Kuang was no longer one of admiration and alliance, but rather filled with hostility

"On what basis!" Xia Yunzi retorted sarcastically, "How is Xu Yu yours from Baihua Hall?"

Under the gaze of the Yellow Dragon True Man, the four of them felt a chill in their hearts. Since the sect leader had made a definitive decision, Gu Yunzi and the others no longer spoke further. Their eyes, filled with hunger, gleamed with a green light, and their faces were adorned with smiles as they all cast flirtatious glances at Zhang Kuang.

Soon, the gossip about Qin Haoxuan and Xu Yu spread rapidly through whispers, with more envious and jealous glances directed towards Qin Haoxuan

Even disciples of the Purple Seed with exceptional bone structure and extraordinary talent do not exhibit fluctuations of spiritual energy. It is extremely rare for anyone to emit such fluctuations before the sprouting of the Immortal Seed. Those who do often possess remarkable qualifications, which led Master Luoye to have a certain level of anticipation regarding the test results of Qin Haoxuan

Xu Yu moved his lips, intending to comfort Qin Haoxuan with a few words, but Qin Haoxuan instead comforted him by saying: "It's just a weakling, nothing to worry about. Didn't the Ancestor of Fallen Leaves say that there are infinite possibilities on the path of cultivation, and that postnatal effort can compensate for congenital deficiencies?"

The test of the "Mingjian Xianyan" seems to possess a magical power that directly probes into the human heart. As soon as Qin Haoxuan placed his hand on it, it generated a sticky force that adhered his hand to it

The color-blindness of the weak species is not a significant issue; it was just that last night, Qin Haoxuan's strong demeanor even made the prince yield somewhat, leading people to believe he was quite formidable. However, it turned out he was merely a paper tiger, strong on the outside but weak on the inside

If the ancestor were to take a liking to them and take the three of them under his wing as his closed-door disciples, would that not mean there would be no place for oneself? However, the decision of the sect leader is not something they can oppose

Seeing that the atmosphere was not very harmonious, Huang Long Zhenren interrupted the conciliatory Gu Yunzi and said: "Li Jing, like Zhang Kuang, decides for himself after his own cultivation in the Immortal Seed Realm, you need not argue any further."

The brilliant purple light once again illuminated every corner of the testing platform, and no one would have thought that within Xu Yu's slender frame lay a purple celestial seed. The disciple who had snatched Xu Yu's blanket last night was instantly paralyzed with fear, collapsing to the ground. Oh heavens, are you playing with me? Last night, I actually stole the blanket of a disciple with an unparalleled purple seed. How can I possibly establish myself from now on

With the presence of the two Purple Seed disciples, Zhang Kuang and Li Jing, the Taichu Sect is destined to rise, and it may even surpass certain supreme sects. One can imagine that with Zhang Kuang and Li Jing, the Taichu Sect will be immensely prosperous and powerful

"Chirp!" Su Baihua looked at Xu Yu with a strange expression, suddenly laughed, and said to Gu Yunzi and others: "Zhang Kuang and Li Jing, you two can compete; with Xu Yu in Baihuatang, that is enough!"

After they finished speaking, Su Baihua, who had been silent all along, suddenly said: "After three months of initial training, just as winter arrives, the cold plum blossoms of Baihua Hall will also bloom. Zhang Kuang, you are welcome to come to Baihua Hall to warm wine and enjoy the flowers together"

However, the encouragement from the Master of Falling Leaves is largely based on effort. Unless there is some extraordinary encounter, the achievements of weaker disciples will never surpass those of stronger disciples. But how many people can truly have such extraordinary encounters?

When Qin Haoxuan stepped onto the testing platform, Master Luoye's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. Qin Haoxuan not only exuded an air of confidence and maturity beyond his years, but unlike the other disciples, he did not appear timid in front of him. Moreover, a faint yet exceptionally pure aura emanated from his body.

Both individuals possess the supreme purple seed, yet there can only be one leader of the Taichu Sect. Whether it is Zhang Kuang or Li Jing, both harbor considerable ambition in their hearts. Neither of them is easy to deal with, and they are destined to move towards opposition.

Xu Yu was the last among this group of new disciples to step onto the testing platform. Except for Qin Haoxuan, everyone else was eagerly trying to curry favor with the flamboyant Zhang Kuang and Li Jing, and no one cared about Xu Yu's results until the "Mingjian Immortal Eye" emitted a magnificent purple immortal light

Upon learning that Xu Yu is a girl, the disciples closest to Qin Haoxuan's position immediately cast envious glances at him. Damn, why am I not fortunate enough to spend a night with a female disciple of the Purple Seed?

The sun shone brightly, and the warm breeze was gentle. In the presence of the headmaster of the Primordial Teaching and many esteemed seniors, the "Mingjian Immortal Eye" once again emitted a dazzling purple light, blinding the eyes of many!

Born into a royal family, Li Jing grew up consuming various spiritual medicines, and even his bathwater was infused with medicinal herbs. Although he held significant power in the secular world, he had little chance of inheriting the throne. Ultimately, he resolutely decided to test whether his path to immortality could be smoother.

Seeing that Xia Yunzi was still chattering incessantly, Huang Long Zhenren sternly reprimanded, "These matters can be discussed later. I must personally ascend Qilin Peak to report this matter to our ancestors, and let them make the final decision"

The four hall masters of the inner hall are second only to the sect leader and some long-established elders in the Taichu Sect, holding a position of great authority that ordinary disciples cannot aspire to. In their eagerness to seize Zhang Kuang, they have disregarded their dignity, especially in the Hundred Flowers Hall, which is strictly off-limits to male disciples. The hall master, Su Baihua, has surprisingly extended an invitation, leaving many male disciples feeling resentful.

The fallen leaves emanated a celestial aura, and at that moment, the "Mingjian Immortal Eye" seemed to perceive the essence of Qin Haoxuan's body. After a low hum and a slight tremor, it emitted a faint glow, yet devoid of any color

Summer Cloud Child, you ... ...

Some arrogant scions of the powerful echoed in unison, and for a time, Zhang Kuang was hailed as the future pillar of the Xianglong Kingdom and the leader of Taichu Sect on its path to becoming a supreme religion. However, with Zhang Kuang's purple-grade talent, he was indeed worthy of such accolades

In the realm of mortals, the identity of a prince is of utmost nobility, yet in the cultivation world where strength speaks, it holds little significance

Aren't you skilled in physiognomy? You can't even tell that she is a woman! Isn't it only natural for our Taichu sect's female disciples to join the Hundred Flowers Hall?" Xia Yunzi, who hadn't looked closely, was mocked until her face turned red, yet she still stubbornly held her ground.

As Su Baihua made a slight revelation, others began to notice that Xu Yu had a delicate appearance, with exquisite features. Although she had deliberately smeared some black ash on her face, it could not conceal her fair skin. Disguised as a man, she was slender and unremarkable, yet the more one looked, the more she resembled a woman

The weakest species among the colorless immortal seeds, the most inferior weak species on the brink of death

Zhang Yang's Gu Yunzi already knew there was no hope, and with a face full of schadenfreude, he fanned the flames: "Xia Yunzi's words are not without reason, but nothing is absolute; not all women are seductresses..."

Stepping down from the testing platform, Qin Haoxuan, amidst countless mocking gazes, saw deep disappointment and regret flickering in Xu Yu's large eyes

With my own weak qualifications, not to mention the arrogant Zhang Kuang, who has a grudge against me, even those like Li Jing, whom I offended last night, will also try to trip me up. I must quickly improve my strength; otherwise, the days ahead will be exceedingly difficult

"Brother Zhang Kuang, it is truly my honor to join the Taichu Sect with you!" Prince Li Jing immediately approached with a group of noble youths, surrounding Zhang Kuang with immense enthusiasm, their eager expressions either feigned or genuinely heartfelt.

Originally, Li Jing was extremely confident in his own abilities, but after Zhang Kuang was identified as a Purple Seed, a strong sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart
