Dragon Tamer - Chapter 1308: 1312: Becoming a Disciple

Chapter 1308: Chapter 1312: Becoming a Disciple

“The Chongyang Immortal of the Northern Songyang will take in one direct disciple this year.”

“Immortal YaYue is going to accept four direct disciples.”

“Immortal Chang Hao is going to accept seven direct disciples.”

“…”

“Under the Seat of Weaver Maiden Star, the Heavenly Zither Fairy will take in four direct disciples.”

“Huxian Yue will recruit two direct disciples”

“…”

The divine names of the twenty-three Immortal Elders were called out one by one; they are all deities of the Moon Radiance Stage, and although not all of these Immortal Elders take turns serving as the Rotating Moon God, their power is no less than that of the True Sun and Moon Gods.

“Our God is also taking disciples this year??” Off to the side, Qiao Caiqing’s eyes sparkled.

But after thinking it over carefully, Qiao Caiqing’s face showed a trace of disappointment.

Among the inner sect disciples, there were often behind-the-scenes competitions, and even without outright contests one could roughly gauge the cultivation base of some well-known inner sect disciples. Qiao Caiqing’s cultivation base clearly couldn’t catch up with those inner sect disciples, and her current God General Level cultivation was only because Zhu Minglang had blocked her mouth by bribing her with some spirit roots suitable for her.

After all, that island after the rain was embezzled by Zhu Minglang.

Qiao Caiqing was aware of this matter.

“It’s okay, sister has only been in the Southern Heavenly Palace for the first year, and I heard that those who become direct disciples have cultivated in the Southern Heavenly Palace for no less than ten years,” Zhu Minglang consoled her.

“Yes, but Our God doesn’t necessarily take in disciples every ten years; missing this opportunity, who knows how long it will be until the next.” Qiao Caiqing said.

“There will be a chance in the future,” Zhu Minglang said.

“What about you, junior brother, under which Immortal Elder do you plan to study? With your talent, you should have a chance to become a direct disciple, right?” Qiao Caiqing asked.

“About that, I haven’t given it careful thought yet. I heard that besides being able to follow the Immortal Elder to train in their Immortal Mansion, a direct disciple can also own their own Spirit Island, including managing some Spirit Vein territories…” Zhu Minglang said.

“Why doesn’t junior brother just join under Our God? That way, sister might be able to meet Our God in person thanks to junior brother’s blessings, and I can also help with chores on junior brother’s Spirit Island!” Qiao Caiqing suggested.

“I’ll think about it, there’s no need to rush at this time…” Zhu Minglang’s gaze swept across the summit of the identity orders belonging to those Immortal Elders.

There are a total of twenty-three Immortal Elders, each one has a monument in the broad court bearing their names, with ancient divine patterns that represent these powerful Immortal Elders’ divine rights, divine positions, and inheritance.

As Zhu Minglang spoke, his gaze just swept over the monument of Weaver Maiden Star, and he saw a particularly glaring imprint!

Th𝑖𝕤 𝐜hαp𝗍𝕖r 𝕀𝖘 pⲟ𝘴𝑡ɛ𝙙 b𝘺 𝘬𝚤𝑡𝖾𝖓𝟬𝐯𝖾𝘭

Flare!!

The flare pattern on the Sword Spirit Dragon Sword is very similar!!

It was precisely the existence of that flare that caused Zhu Minglang to be concerned about taking the Sword Spirit Dragon, especially since he still didn’t figure out who was behind that flare!

Is it the inheritance of Weaver Maiden Star???

In that case, the person who made the Sword Spirit Dragon into the Rotating Sun must be related to Weaver Maiden Star!

“Great, I don’t know other Immortal Elders anyway, if possible, I’ll swear fealty under Weaver Maiden Star,” Zhu Minglang said with a smile.

Finally, he had found some clues!

It seems that climbing relentlessly upward is indeed effective.

Once he has figured out the flare, Zhu Minglang can take the Sword Spirit Dragon and fly away high and far whenever he wants!

“Junior Brother, this is indeed a wise choice, Our God is a Ming God!” Qiao Caiqing’s face was full of happy smiles.

…

The competition in the Southern Heavenly Palace is really fierce.

Day-to-day performance is also linked to final promotion in status. After all, if one gains the special favor of the Immortal Elders as an Inner Sect Disciple, one can bypass the so-called annual competition and be directly taken under the wing of the Immortal Elder, to become a Direct Disciple.

In fact, an Immortal Elder has already extended an olive branch to Zhu Minglang.

That is Town Mountain Immortal Chu Kang, who is responsible for overseeing the Town Beasts of the entire Southern Heavenly Palace.

“That young lad is not bad, let’s see how he does in this year’s competition. If he ranks within the top thousand, then let him cultivate with me.” Chu Kang has seen Zhu Minglang coming and going through the Dragon Gate of the Suppressing Beast more than once, so he said to his Big Disciple Song Hao by his side.

“Master, I have also been very optimistic about him. His name is Zhu Lang, only seventeen years old with boundless potential, and he lacks the impatience and wanting-too-much-too-soon faults of those Inner Sect Disciples… In fact, Master, you could accept him directly as a Direct Disciple, so he doesn’t need to participate in the annual competition,” said Deacon Song Hao.

“Let us still see his performance in the competition,” said Chu Kang.

As Town Mountain Immortal, Chu Kang actually pays very little attention to such Outer Sect Disciples. Being able to see him occasionally and doing a good job caring for the Suppressing Beast does not show much; strength is still very important. Chu Kang does not want to make an exception for a youngster so lightly; his selection for Direct Disciples is very strict.

Song Hao nodded, not daring to say much more as after all, his master has his own judgment.

…

Although selecting a mentor is an open process, some Immortal Elders have already set their sights on certain candidates.

These Inner Sect Disciples have been cared for by the backing of the Immortal Clan, and therefore, even before the competition begins, there have continuously been some of them directly picked by certain Immortal Elders.

Of course, this does not mean that the chosen ones don’t need to participate in the annual competition.

If the ranking in the competition is not ideal, the Southern Heavenly Palace still will not allow them to become Direct Disciples.

Direct Disciples must at least be strong in ability. If this sort of mutual support among members of the Immortal Gates is encouraged, it would be unfair to those disciples who have been cultivating hard, hoping to find a distinguished mentor.

…

Cultivation, Dragon Taming, Spirit Gathering, Spirit Planting, Dragon Rearing, Dragon Training…

Zhu Minglang’s days passed quite fulfilling. Most of the Inner Sect Disciples in the whole Southern Heavenly Palace are quite young and, under the prevailing trend of cultivation and Dragon Training, the vast majority of Disciples also know not to waste this precious time for cultivation. Furthermore, with the upcoming annual competition, this year there happen to be a large number of Immortal Elders recruiting Disciples, making opportunities extremely rare.

In these few months, Zhu Minglang has found there are at least eight thousand if not ten thousand people wanting to become Direct Disciples of the Weaver Girl Star!

A true one in ten thousand selection process, even from among those who have already been selected through tough competitions as Inner Sect Disciples.

In fact, many people know that among the twenty-three Immortal Elders, it is Chongyang Immortal of the North who is the most sought-after, for he is the Solar Corona Immortal of the Southern Heavenly Palace. To become his Direct Disciple, at the very least, one would attain the Moon Radiance God Divine Realm. And with some great fortune, one might even become a Rotating Moon God!

In the entire Jun Tian Moon Shine Realm, there are many Immortal Gods, but there are only thirty Rotating Moon Gods.

Therefore, Immortal YaYue is also a top choice for many Inner Sect Disciples…

Only then comes Weaver Girl Star, as a deity who is extremely unique among the Star Gods. On one hand, she is in a stage where her divine form keeps ascending, and on the other hand, she has the strong backing of the Heavenly Tribe. Many disciples understand that if they are taken under the WeiIver Girl Star’s wing, the room for advancement is also huge.

However, the number of Inner Sect Disciples wishing to apprentice under Weaver Girl Star is on par with that for the Solar Corona Immortal God from the North!
