Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2815 - 1041_3

The Eastern Wasteland has no Holy Land, the Southern Border lacks Great Powers, the Western Desert’s Buddhist Sect is sealed, and the Northern Sea is in disarray. Despite our Tianyuan Daoist Sect’s significant weakening, we still stand as the strongest Holy Land within the Mountain Sea Realm!

With profound foundations, and our current generation’s complete dedication, the former glory of the Daoist Sect can finally be restored!

At that opportune moment, the ambition of our predecessors will be realized—to unify the Mountain Sea and conquer Cangwu!

These pronouncements echoed powerfully within the Daoist Temple.

Three of the four Great Hall Masters unanimously and enthusiastically concurred.

"Restore the ancient territories, re-establish the Daoist Sect’s splendor!"

"Unify the Mountain Sea and conquer Cangwu!"

Hall Master Hui Yuanhong of the All Stars Hall, though slightly delayed, promptly added his resolve: "This Hall Master shall also contribute to this grand endeavor!"

Stroking his beard, Zhou Yunshen sighed, "Alas, my heart yearns for that day, but my fading lifespan prevents me from witnessing it."

All present understood the precarious state of his longevity, recognizing the truth in his words.

Zhan Bingtao chuckled heartily, "Although you may not personally see that era, Friend Zhou, your descendants possess extraordinary talent, destined to surpass all predecessors. He will undoubtedly become the beacon for the younger generation of our Tianyuan Daoist Sect, leading the Zhou Family and Tianyuan’s youths with invincible might forward!"

Every gaze then turned towards Zhou Fuqiu, standing behind Zhan Bingtao.

With a gesture from Zhou Yunshen, Zhou Fuqiu stepped forward at the opportune moment.

"As such, while I still draw breath, today we shall determine his master!"

A momentary silence enveloped the assembly.

Zhou Yunshen inclined his head towards Zhou Fuqiu.

The young man no longer hesitated and unleashed a fluctuation of his mana.

Instantly, an amazed murmur swept through the crowd.

"Golden Core?"

"No, it’s the Foundation Establishment Stage!"

"So rapid?"

Zhou Yunshen, stroking his beard once more, declared, "As you have witnessed, Fuqiu’s cultivation progress is astonishingly swift. He can entirely bypass the preliminary studies at Seven Stars Academy and commence cultivation directly within the Four Halls. It is my wish to prevent any wasted time, hence today’s arrangement. I inquire, which esteemed individual is willing to accept him as a disciple?"

The Tianyuan Daoist Sect of the present day is a far cry from its former zenith.

Due to a scarcity of exceptional talents, even the Twelve Great Houses have diminished to nine, intensifying the sect’s urgent need for capable individuals.

Relying solely on the traditional lineage system is insufficient for the rapid cultivation of numerous powerful figures.

Consequently, the once-faltering master-disciple system has naturally been revitalized.

The establishment of the Tian Nan Dao Palace and the directive for selective disciple acceptance by the Four Great Hall Masters have been specifically implemented by the Tianyuan Daoist Sect to hasten the restoration of its vitality.

This strategic approach is not confined to the Tian Nan Continent; similar measures are enforced in Li Bei and East Yuan.

Should any lingering doubts have existed regarding the newly instituted regulations of the Daoist Ancestral Court in the Rotten Stalemate Mountain Range, Zhou Fuqiu’s remarkably accelerated cultivation level has effectively dispelled any hesitation among the Four Great Hall Masters gathered in the Daoist Temple.

Such an exceptional prodigy must undoubtedly be brought under the sect’s esteemed patronage!

Hui Yuanhong was the first to voice his interest.

"Our All Stars Hall gladly extends an offer to accept Zhou Fuqiu as a disciple!"

The remaining three halls swiftly followed suit, each expressing their eagerness.

Zhou Yunshen observed this unfolding scene with a contented smile.

"You all desire to take Fuqiu as a disciple, yet he remains but one individual!"

This presented a curious dilemma.

Zhan Bingtao raised an eyebrow, posing the question directly: "Zhou Fuqiu, what are your thoughts on this matter?"

Could it be that the decision-making authority was being passed to this young man of twenty-one years?

With composed demeanor, Zhou Fuqiu responded, "I am unacquainted with the cultivation paths, pedagogical methods, or individual proficiencies of the four esteemed seniors. Therefore, I am uncertain as to who would be the most suitable match for me, and I would appreciate further time for consideration."

Further consideration?

The assembly paused, then watched the young man with amusement.

Was he presumptuously setting terms?

Despite being favored by four True Masters, he dared to impose conditions.

Yet, no offense was taken; instead, their approval of Zhou Fuqiu deepened.

The path of cultivation demands not only innate talent but also an unyielding spirit.

From his initial presentation through his demeanor and now his audacious request to the True Masters, his fortitude was unequivocally evident.

Hui Yuanhong spoke again, elaborating on his position: "As the Master of All Stars Hall, my specialization lies in the Earth Element, which might initially seem discordant with your inclinations. However, the All Stars Hall preserves a significant portion of the former Star Gate’s legacy, housing countless ancient texts that encompass knowledge from across the Five Continents. Upon joining the All Stars Hall, you will undoubtedly discover resources perfectly suited to your needs!"

Subsequently, another individual promptly declared, "I am of Long Ting, the Master of Longevity Hall and the Supreme Elder of the Dragon Family. Should you agree to become my disciple, the Path of Longevity will be within your grasp, and even our family's True Dragon Divine Skill can be imparted to you."

Clad in violet robes, Zhang Bairen cleared his throat and stated, "Though the four halls are nominally equal, Ziwei Hall ultimately holds the premier position. I possess the Tianyuan Daoist Sect's most authentic cultivation method; as a disciple of the sect, you ought to join Ziwei Hall."

Fairy Qing Lan, who had remained largely silent, subtly adjusted her delicate features and calmly interjected, "I emerged victorious in the Five Hundred Year Grand Competition, apprenticed under the Great Power Chun Yuan, and have long grasped the True Intent of Law. If your aspirations extend beyond the Nascent Soul Realm, then choosing me is the way forward."

After the four presented their offers, they did not await Zhou Fuqiu's decision, instead immersing themselves in mutual criticism.

"Absorbing much of Star Gate's core essence, Friend Hui, you display excessive confidence. I happen to know you only ascended to the Elder Seats recently, filling a vacancy left by an Alchemy Saint who achieved Ascension."

"The True Dragon Divine Skill is but a hollow shell, lacking genuine Divine Power and possessing exceedingly high prerequisites."

"The Tianyuan Daoist Sect's orthodox cultivation method? Each of our four halls already cultivates it!"

"Fairy Qing Lan is far too presumptuous; you yourself are only at the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul, how can you speak of the Path to Divinity Transformation?"

...

Amidst the mounting commotion, Zhan Bingtao let out a heavy cough.

"Such a loss of decorum!"

The hall immediately fell into silence.

Zhan Bingtao then directed his gaze towards Zhou Fuqiu.

"The four halls are indeed remarkable. With your innate talent, selecting guidance from any among them guarantees successful Core Formation and Infant Condensation. As for achieving Divinity Transformation, that will necessitate greater personal endeavor."

"Make your choice and deliver your answer!"
