Yinshan Record

Chapter 265 Sword Palace Disciple
Amidst the surging demonic shadows, the divine thought of a demonic sect leader traversed thousands of miles to come and chat casually.

The person in front of me probably thinks he is the reincarnation of the Azure Emperor Lingwei Yang.

Right.

Not to mention this person, Su Che sometimes even doubts whether he is the reincarnation of the ancient Azure Emperor. The so-called time travel is just a preconceived and wrong idea instilled in his brain by others.

Of course, such a thought was fleeting.

Su Che knew very well who he was.

I am definitely not that ancient Azure Emperor.

"Your Majesty carries too much karma. Even if you regain your true form, what then? You will still be rejected by Heaven and Earth. If you were to recover your cultivation as an Earth Immortal and be reborn in another world, that would be fine. But Your Majesty is so deeply entangled with this world..."

The demonic figure in the air seemed very approachable.

Su Che could only remain silent.

Because he couldn't understand a word the person was saying.

If there's anything I can truly understand, it's the phrase "abandoned by heaven and earth."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King also uttered these four words, and it seems that the ultimate fate of this group of people who had connections with the ancient Heavenly Court was to be rejected by Heaven and Earth.

It is precisely because of this that the Yin-Yang Dharma King has never attained immortality, and the title of the number one ghost cultivator in the Central Plains has been firmly held by the Ghost Ancestor of Beimang.

Later, when the Yin-Yang Realm shattered and Zhongyuan brought him back from the Yin-Yang Realm, he said that someone like him could only have a chance to advance further by being reincarnated through Zhongyuan's power.

Su Che felt that the secret of the collapse of the ancient Heavenly Court was not as simple as being targeted by a few Dharma Lords of the End Times. There must be something else, otherwise why would it have attracted the disgust of this world?

There may be deeper reasons why no one has ever revived the idea of ​​establishing a Heavenly Court over the years.

"Your Majesty has already tried the Xuanzong Buddhist sect; does this time you perhaps wish to try the path of sword cultivation?"

“My ancestor once said that if His Majesty is interested in joining the Demonic Sect, having his name recorded in the sacred texts and receiving fundamental blessings will be a natural outcome. Of course, it would be best if he could join our branch.”

This demon god smiled and appeared humble, but the raging demonic flames emanating from him and his powerful aura were truly awe-inspiring.

The Six Gods Soul-Sealing Banner spun in the air. Su Che looked at the tiger demon that had been absorbed into the Six Gods Soul-Sealing Banner and suddenly felt that everything in front of him was so unreal.

It seems that the ancient Heavenly Court and the Demonic Sect were not irreconcilable enemies.

At least that's how it seems right now.

Su Che could only respond with silence.

This man had previously corrupted the City God of Tianan and later devoured the tiger demon. Su Che estimated that He Wuji, who was standing below with his sword drawn, would sooner or later be his.

The actions of those in the Demonic Sect are so untrustworthy that one cannot trust them in the slightest.

Today I'm giving you a chance, but when it comes time to collect my debts, I'll tear you apart.

"I will certainly inform the Ancestor that if His Majesty is interested in taking a trip to the Southern Wilderness, I will certainly welcome him with open arms."

Despite being a senior figure to a demonic immortal, Su Che felt no joy.

Does this mean that there are more people who are thinking about me?
"It's not convenient to talk here, so I won't disturb you any longer."

With a wave of his hand, the half-body deity summoned the Six Gods Soul-Sealing Banner, painstakingly crafted by the tiger demon, into his grasp. The dome covering everything in the sky vanished instantly, and a new world reappeared before their eyes.

Without the support of the tiger demon's demonic essence, the phantom image of the deity carrying this demonic consciousness gradually faded. The demonic sect leader then used a technique of teleportation to remove the Six Gods Soul-Sealing Banner.

This person arrived quickly and left even faster, without any hesitation.

Yan Qi was left staring at Su Che, his brows furrowed.

The newly arrived expert from the Demonic Sect was quite discreet; instead of directly revealing Su Che's "identity," he used divine sense to send the message directly over.

So the people below naturally had no idea what had happened.

All that could be seen was that the tiger demon, who had won by a hair's breadth, suddenly suffered a crushing defeat. His life essence was captured by the Six Gods Soul-Sealing Banner, and finally fell into the hands of the demon god, turning into a streak of blood light and disappearing.

"I never expected it to be a blood puppet."

Yan Qi exhaled a breath of stale air and bowed to Su Che in mid-air.

"My lord, I apologize for my rudeness earlier."

Su Che glanced at him.

"East Sea Sword Palace?"

"Indeed, Yan Qi, a disciple of the Sword Palace, greets fellow Daoist."

In this realm, the Xuanmen (mystical sect) is the most powerful, while sword cultivators rose to prominence relatively late. All the rules and forms of address they use are derived from the Xuanmen.

Generally, each sect is divided into four categories: true disciples, inner disciples, registered disciples, and unregistered disciples.

First, let's talk about the unnamed disciples. This category ranks the lowest. They are probably already accepted into the sect, but they don't have a specific teacher. Although they can still listen to lectures on Taoist teachings every day, they only learn some superficial principles. They also deal with mundane matters on a daily basis.

If someone fails to become a registered disciple after a few years, they are usually kicked out, and everyone goes their separate ways to pursue wealth and status.

Then comes the nominal disciple. Once you reach this stage, you are considered one of the true members of the sect. At least you have a teacher in name. It's like moving from the regular version to the elite class. You will be taught some profound Taoist techniques and will also have some important tasks within the sect on a daily basis.

Of course, while they still retain their role as mere tools, they are no longer those low-level tools.

The next level up is the inner disciple, also known as the master disciple. For example, Su Che and Yan Qi have reached this stage, which means that a senior figure in the sect has taken a liking to them and will take them under his wing as master and disciple.

When you venture out into the world, besides your sect, you'll have a master to follow, a teacher to carefully plan your future, and a group of fellow disciples to fight alongside you.

At this point, you've found your organization. If you can't beat someone in a fight, you can call on your senior brother; if your senior brother can't beat you, you can ask your master; if your master still loses, you can call on your sect leader; if your sect leader loses, there's the Supreme Elder; and then there's the whole process of having your sect wiped out in the process.

Finally, there are the true disciples. Reaching this stage is basically equivalent to the master's biological son, or an illegitimate child who was later adopted. They are the ones who inherit the master's mantle.

Not only will he be the leader among his fellow disciples, but he will also receive the greatest support from his master and inherit his master's various legacies in the future.

Generally speaking, they don't take on too many true disciples; a master might only take on two or three disciples in his lifetime.

Yan Qi claimed to be an inner disciple of the East Sea Sword Palace, which means that he was not only a member of the East Sea Sword Palace, but also had a master who looked after him, as well as a group of fellow disciples.

Su Che felt that after walking the path of cultivation for so long, he had finally met a decent disciple from a prestigious family.
