"Who goes there......"
Among the more than a dozen cultivators from the Outer Demon Tribe, a powerhouse at the fifth heaven of Divine Venerable realm hadn't finished speaking before he was instantly encased in ice by a dense chilling aura. The same fate befell the dozen or so people behind him, who bizarrely turned into ice sculptures.
Then, under Situ Potian's astonished gaze, an energy palm struck and shattered them.
Just like that!
The more than a dozen Outer Demon Tribe powerhouses who had been pursuing him were instantly annihilated.
In response, the Ice River Giant Beast's clone felt a surge of satisfaction. After all, even though its cultivation realm was only at the eighth heaven of Divine Venerable, its combat power was estimated to be sufficient to contend against the first heaven of Divine Emperor.
It was only natural that it could achieve such a feat!
Subsequently, with a swish, it brought Situ Potian onto the immortal boat. "Main body, this kid's identity seems extraordinary."
"Master, this young man is only eighteen years old yet already in the Divine Sovereign realm. His talent is peerless, and moreover, he possesses the extremely rare Tai Xu Sword Body in the Divine Realm. His future achievements are immeasurable!"
"Ding! The host has triggered a mission: Take the Tai Xu Sword Body as a disciple and help him reach the third heaven of Divine Sovereign. Reward: 30 billion Divine Coins, with an additional 1 billion top-grade Divine Crystals!"
Oh!?
The system's voice echoed in his ears, causing Ye Xuan to pause. What in the world? Taking on a disciple!!
Thinking that he already had ten disciples, Ye Xuan gave a wry smile. This system truly didn't care if he was tired.
"Plop!"
Situ Potian immediately knelt on both knees towards the Ice River Giant Beast's clone. "Master, please accept this disciple's bow!"
Ice River Giant Beast's clone, "Uh..."
"Cough, cough, I'm just a clone. What's the use of you bowing to me?"
He rolled his eyes at Situ Potian, then his gaze fell on the main body. After all, he didn't have the guts to accept a disciple privately, nor would he.
A clone!?
Upon hearing the Ice River Giant Beast's clone's words, Situ Potian's pupils widened. Good heavens, just a clone was this powerful, capable of instantly killing so many Outer Demons. Furthermore, the clone was clearly not much older than him, with a strength of at least the ninth heaven of Divine Venerable.
And this was merely a clone!
If it were the main body, then... wouldn't its strength be at the Divine Emperor realm!
Thinking of this, Situ Potian dared not hesitate any longer and immediately began to kowtow again. "Master, please accept this disciple's bow!"
If this scene were known to his father, the Tyrannical Sword Divine Lord, who knew if he would be so angry he'd spit blood!
"Oh?"
Looking at the kneeling youth before him, Ye Xuan was taken aback. Truth be told, he had only accepted Bai Ze as a disciple in the Divine Realm, so taking on another one wouldn't be too many.
"Do you truly wish to become my disciple?"
Ye Xuan curved his lips as he looked at Situ Potian. "Becoming my disciple is not impossible, but you must withstand me for the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn."
"Ah~!?"
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, Situ Potian was completely stunned. The time it takes for one stick of incense to burn, was this... was he serious?
"Heh heh, what?"
"If you're unwilling, then forget it..."
Before Ye Xuan could finish speaking, Situ Potian interrupted, "I am willing!"
Situ Potian didn't even think. He naturally knew that this esteemed adult before him must have taken a liking to him, and this was merely a test. It wouldn't cost him his life.
One day, he would prove to everyone that he could rise without the Tyrannical Sword Divine Kingdom!
"Good, let's begin."
As Ye Xuan's voice fell, the next moment, a pillar of divine lightning energy descended from above, directly engulfing Situ Potian. The crackling sound made even the Ice River Giant Beast's clone twitch its lips. Good heavens, was the main body being this ruthless?
Was this... planning to toy with this little fellow to death?
"Mmm~~"
The dense lightning immediately widened Situ Potian's pupils, but he gritted his teeth and let out a muffled groan. It was evident that he was very stubborn, and he also understood that this esteemed adult was testing him.
One breath!
Ten breaths! A hundred breaths!!
About fifteen minutes later, the divine lightning dissipated. Situ Potian was in a state of utter disarray, clearly having been at his limit for a long time, but he had ultimately endured it.
"He's quite stubborn."
Ye Xuan curved his lips and continued, "From today onwards, you are my eleventh disciple."
"Really!"
Upon hearing his master's words, Situ Potian's face was filled with excitement, but coupled with his disheveled appearance, it was quite comical.
"Disciple Situ Potian greets Master!"
At that, Situ Potian plopped down and knelt on the ground again. The more he interacted with him, the more he felt that his master was even more mysterious than his own father. Such divine lightning was simply outrageous.
"Get up."
Ye Xuan nodded slightly and gently raised his hand to help Situ Potian up. It was as he stood up that the aura around him began to strengthen.
Divine Sovereign first heaven!
Peak of the Divine Sovereign first heaven!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan flipped his right hand, and a [Emperor Grade · Divine Breaking Pill] appeared!
"Take this pill, it will help you break through your realm."
Looking at his newly accepted disciple, Ye Xuan explained that the divine lightning channeling just now was not entirely to make things difficult for Situ Potian, but rather, after the divine lightning channeling, it had already cleansed his marrow and tempered his body with divine lightning.
"Yes, Master!"
Situ Potian also realized that the divine lightning just now was not simple, and he became even more respectful towards his master.
After taking the pill, the aura that had reached the peak of the Divine Sovereign first heaven immediately broke through again and entered the Divine Sovereign second heaven. Then, with the support of Ye Xuan's numerous divine crystals, Situ Potian's cultivation soared all the way to the third heaven of Divine Sovereign.
"Hoo~~"
After a while, Situ Potian let out a deep breath and felt the greatly strengthened power within his body. "This is, the third heaven of Divine Sovereign already, my heavens!"
"Master, am I dreaming!?"
With a plop, Situ Potian knelt on both knees. "Thank you, Master, for your bestowal!!"
The four clones of the Ice River Giant Beast were also quite moved. Good heavens... the main body's divine lightning actually had such miraculous effects, it was heaven-defying!
If they were also 'struck by lightning,' perhaps they could also advance a lot!!
"By the way, little fellow, your name is Situ Potian?"
The Ice River Giant Beast's clone clicked its tongue, looking at the eleventh disciple before it with great envy. Without realizing it, the number of disciples under the main body was growing.
"Yes, Second Master."
After a pause, Situ Potian continued, "I am the eighteenth prince of the Tyrannical Sword Divine Kingdom, and the current Tyrannical Sword Divine Lord is my father..."
Ice River Giant Beast's clone, "..."
"The eighteenth prince of the Tyrannical Sword Divine Kingdom, the son of the Tyrannical Sword Divine Lord??"
Truly, the Ice River Giant Beast's clone had not expected this little fellow to have such a significant background. The Tyrannical Sword Divine Kingdom was a Grade Eight Divine Kingdom, and it was also their destination. However, being pursued by so many Outer Demons was enough to show that the Tyrannical Sword Divine Kingdom was not as peaceful as rumored.
"Main body, what is this little fellow's physique?"
The Purple Gold Divine Dragon clone looked at Situ Potian, always feeling that it couldn't see through him. Even the Six-Winged Dark Angel clone's gaze also looked over, clearly also wanting to know.
"Heh heh, this little fellow's physique is extraordinary."
"His physique is the extremely rare Tai Xu Sword Body in the Divine Realm. Once this sword body awakens, breakthroughs will be as easy as eating and drinking, and it will even be more powerful than Xiao Yi."
Situ Potian was stunned to hear this, his eyes filled with disbelief. "Master, what did you say? Are you saying I possess the Tai Xu Sword Body like the founding ancestor of the Tyrannical Sword Divine Kingdom!!!"
In an instant, Situ Potian was truly unable to remain calm. After all, their founding ancestor was a being at the ninth heaven of Divine Emperor~~~
