Chapter 3814: Green Dragon Disciples
Linghu clan’s estate.
Unlike when he was conversing happily with Duan Ling Tian, Linghu Ren Jie’s current expression was slightly grim. When he heard that someone had threatened to kill him if Duan Ling Tian dared to rank in the top 10 of the Latent Dragon Grand Contest, he had thought the culprit was just bluffing and trying to intimidate Duan Ling Tian. Nonetheless, he still kept his guards up.
Then, Linghu Ren Jie sighed as he brought out a glowing jade slip and crushed it. “I didn’t expect to… I hope I won’t disturb her progress…”
At the same time, a beautiful woman appeared in Linghu Ren Jie’s mind. He remembered when she was just a little girl slowly turning into a teenager. In just a blink of an eye, she was already a grown woman.
“That little girl who used to follow me everywhere is all grown up now. What did she experience when she was in the Divine Offering Land? She changed after returning from that place. She must have suffered a lot over the years. Alas, she refused to say anything because she’s too stubborn,” Linghu Ren Jie muttered to himself as a hint of distress appeared on his face.
…
At the same time, Duan Ling Tian, who was unaware of what was going on at Linghu Ren Jie’s side, led Lady Seven to Xue Hai Chuan’s cultivation ground. As soon as he arrived, before Xue Hai Chuan could say a word, he hurriedly said goodbye before he returned to his temporary residence on Fire Dragon Mountain. When he returned, he saw Hou Qing Ning waiting for him. He asked, “Why are you waiting for me?”
Hou Qing Ning’s expression was solemn as he asked, “Was it your idea?”
Duan Ling Tian was puzzled.
“Did you tell her to send someone to ask my father to ask for Murong Yin Yue’s hand in marriage at the Murong clan?” Hou Qing Ning asked with a hint of annoyance. Fortunately, his father had spoken to him. Otherwise, he would be unaware of this matter. His father had told him if this matter was not dealt with carefully, it might negatively affect the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect.
Realization dawned on Duan Ling Tian. “Don’t you like her? Isn’t this good?”
Hou Qing Ning’s expression eased as he said, “I’ve spoken to Third Miss about this. It seemed like you deliberately egged her on previously. I misunderstood you, thinking that…”
Seeing that Hou Qing Ning could finish his words, Duan Ling Tian laughed before he said, “Can’t finish your words? If I didn’t do that, I wouldn’t know how much you like her. In fact, you should thank me. Back in my hometown, if both of you successfully got married, you’d have to pay me.”
Duan Ling Tian naturally was referring to Earth, a mundane realm, not the Saint Province Realm.
Hou Qing Ning glared at Duan Ling Tian, embarrassed. Then, he switched the topic and said, “Anyway, that’s not the main reason I waited for you. I heard that with your and Hua Tian Du’s performance, top emperor-rank forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion will likely send people here to recruit both of you. What do you think? Do you plan to stay in the Flying Dragon Sect or join a top emperor-rank force?”
Duan Ling Tian thought about it for a moment before he said nonchalantly, “We’ll see when the time comes.”
Previously, Xue Hai Chuan had also spoken to Duan Ling Tian about this. Xue Hai Chuan had said that it might not be the best if he joined a top emperor-rank force. Although the cultivation resources and environment were better, it would be too competitive that it might affect his progress. Moreover, Xue Hai Chuan also said that he would be unfamiliar with the factions in the emperor-rank force, and knowing him, he likely would not join one. As a result, he would not have any support, and this would be disadvantageous to him.
“You’ll see when the time comes?” Hou Qing Ning frowned. “Duan Ling Tian, I feel it’s best if you stay. In the Flying Dragon Sect, you have the Linghu faction and Elder Xue. Based on your character, if you go to a new force, you’ll definitely end up provoking and offending others. At that time, you won’t have any support. In my opinion, before you become a Lord of Gods, it’s best for you to stay here.”
Xue Hai Chuan’s thoughts were aligned with those of Xue Hai Chuan.
“I’ll think about it,’ Duan Ling Tian replied ambiguously.
Then, Hou Qing Ning watched worriedly as Duan Ling Tian returned to his room.
‘Brother Hai Chuan and Hou Qing Ning have a point. However, not only are my innate talent and comprehension skills high, but I’m a divine alchemist as well. If the top emperor-rank forces know that I can easily refine king-grade Limit Divine Pills, I’m afraid they’ll fight each other just to recruit me. After all, even emperor-rank divine alchemists can’t easily refine king-grade Limit Divine Pills.’
Duan Ling Tian carefully weighed the advantages and disadvantages of joining a top emperor-rank force. His main purpose in coming to the Realms of Gods was to grow stronger as quickly as he could so that he could rescue Ke’er and obtain her clan’s approval after 300 years.
‘I’ll have to consider this carefully. There are advantages and disadvantages to both choices. I’ll take my time to consider them before making a decision. As for now, I’ll wait for the rewards from the Latent Dragon Grand Contest.”
When Duan Ling Tian finally calmed down, he closed his eyes to cultivate.
…
When night fell, those not from the Flying Dragon Sect, including the three Supreme Elders of the Linghu clan, were escorted out of the Flying Dragon Sect’s estate.
…
The next day.
Dongfang Yan Nian arrived and brought Duan Ling Tian and the others to the inner disciples’ cultivation ground.
Another White Dragon Elder led the outer disciples to their cultivation ground as well.
Dongfang Yan Nian explained, “The most basic requirement to become an inner disciple of the Flying Dragon Sect is to be a King of Gods. However, not all Kings of Gods can become inner disciples. Comprehension skills and talents are also taken into consideration. Some of you are core disciples and inner disciples of lord-rank forces so you might understand the system a little better. In the Flying Dragon Sect, disciples with higher status than inner disciples are called Green Dragon Disciples. Needless to say, Green Dragon Disciples are given more benefits compared to inner disciples. For example, inner disciples can only enter the chamber of law by exchanging time in there with contributions points they accumulated. However, Green Dragon Disciples have free access to the chamber law for a certain time.”
Many people’s eyes, including Duan Ling Tian, lit up upon hearing this. They had heard about Green Dragon Disciples, but they had no idea what kind of benefits they were given.
Dongfang Yan Nian continued to say, “There aren’t many Green Dragon Disciples in the Flying Dragon Sect. Currently, we only have fewer than 80 Green Dragon Disciples. At any given time, there can only be 100 Green Dragon Disciples in the sect. When the sect was in its prime, we had the full number of Green Dragon Disciples. Hence, in the past, to become a Green Dragon Disciple, one would have to pass a test and defeat a Green Dragon Disciple to take his or her place. However, now, all you have to do is pass the test to become a Green Dragon Disciple.”
Many people were excited and eager to take the test to become Green Dragon Disciples after listening to Dongfan Yan Nian.
“There are some among you who have high chances of becoming Green Dragon Disciples. I believe Duan Ling Tian and Hua Tian Du will be able to pass the test and become Green Dragon Disciples. As for Ji Wu Chang, Du Po Jun, Lady Seven, and a few others, I think all of you have a high chance of passing the test. The participants in this time’s Latent Dragon Grand Contest are truly outstanding and will definitely be recorded in our sect’s history. The champions from the previous contests are only comparable to you,” Dongfang Yan Nian said as he glanced at the people he mentioned.
At the same time, the others shifted their eyes to Duan Ling Tian and Hua Tian Du, the two monstrous talents.
After a while, Dongfang Yan Nian said, “We’re here.”
Duan Ling Tian and the others had arrived in a deep and narrow valley. Many independent courtyards had been built along the walls of the valley. A stone tablet sat in front of each of the courtyards; some of the stone tablets had names engraved on them.
Dongfang Yan Nian explained again, “The courtyards with empty stone tablets are empty. You can choose whichever you like. However, before you occupy the courtyards, carve your names on the stone tablets in order to avoid unwanted conflict and disturbance.”
The disciples nodded.
Dongfang Yan Nian pointed at the center of the valley with a huge courtyard. Many people were coming in and out at this moment. He said, “That’s the Internal Affairs Pavilion. It deals with the inner sect’s affairs. You can go there to accept missions and gain contribution points.”
