A great emperor master every day—the good-for-nothing young master is having a blast!

After all, Daoist Xuanyun is usually elusive and difficult to meet, so it's impossible to verify the truth of the matter, and besides, no one would want to prove it.

Having been falsely accused by Gu Jun, Xuan Yun Daoist didn't want to prove it was just a rumor, so he simply made it true.

He gradually accepted this young disciple and made the boy named Chen Yu Gu Jun's junior brother.

Over time, Xuan Yun Dao Ren gradually discovered that having a child by his side wasn't so bad.

Chen Yu said, "Master, I drew the source into my body ten days ago and I am now a source master at the second level of enlightenment."

Master Xuanyun nodded slightly, revealing a hint of appreciation in his eyes, "At such a young age, you have been able to draw the source into your body and break through to the second level in just a few days."

"Your talent is several points better than Jun'er's."

Upon hearing the mention of him, Gu Jun quickly retorted, "Master, you are mistaken. I admit that Xiao Yu has good talent, but compared to me, there is still a clear gap."

"Xiaoyu, don't you think so?"

Chen Yu nodded simply and answered seriously, "That's right, Brother Jun is still more capable."

Upon hearing this, Daoist Xuanyun calmly shook his head, ruthlessly exposing Gu Jun's stubbornness.

"Jun'er, if I'm not mistaken, your current cultivation level is at the peak of the first level of the Spirit Mansion Realm."

“In the past month, you haven’t even been able to get past the second level of the Spirit Mansion.”

Gu Jun immediately explained, "Master, you don't understand. This disciple is called accumulating knowledge and experience for a future breakthrough. Sooner or later, I will make a name for myself."

"Perhaps one day, I will be able to break through to the Sun Wheel Realm directly."

Gu Jun spoke so vividly, as if this unrealistic thing could really happen to him.

Master Xuanyun wore a weary expression; he had lost count of how many times he had heard such unrealistic talk.

Only Chen Yu sincerely applauded Gu Jun, saying, "So that's how it is! Brother Jun was holding back his strength!"

With its big, innocent eyes blinking blankly, it looked exceptionally cute.

Daoist Xuanyun stroked his white beard and joked, "Jun'er, if one day Xiaoyu'er's cultivation surpasses yours, then your status as the Xuanyun Holy Land will be in jeopardy."

Gu Jun grew up with Xuan Yun Dao Ren since he was a child, so he naturally knew his master's personality very well.

There weren't many complicated rules between them; they spoke directly and without any reservations.

Unless it's a serious occasion that requires a more formal setting.

Gu Jun immediately realized that Xuan Yun Daoist was joking, so he followed his master's words and also made a joke.

"Then you'd better be careful, Master. Without the identity of the Xuan Yun Holy Son, I'd better be prepared to inherit the Xuan Yun Holy Lord from you."

Xuan Yun Daoist raised his flute and smashed it at Gu Jun, producing a very crisp sound. This was definitely a good start.

"You brat, all you do is talk nonsense."

Chen Yu blinked and asked curiously, "What is the Xuan Yun Holy Son? Can you eat it?"

Gu Jun smiled and actually began to consider the feasibility of this problem.

"Whether it's edible or not... it's hard to say, but it's also hard to say yes."

"Seriously speaking, that's definitely not possible, otherwise the world would be missing a handsome and dashing man."

The pavilion was filled with laughter and chatter as Master Xuanyun and his two disciples were having a good time.

Two familiar figures quietly appeared outside the pavilion.

Because of the wisps of white mist drifting in the air, those inside the pavilion could not see those outside.

"Reporting to the Holy Lord, the Source Testing Stone has been installed without any problems."

Everything is ready; we just need to wait three days.

Sun Rui's voice was strong and clear as he reported what had just happened.

Master Xuanyun said calmly, "Understood, you may leave now."

Old Sun and Old Wu answered in unison, "Yes!"

As soon as the sound faded, the two blurry figures outside the pavilion vanished instantly.

With the day approaching for Xuan Yun Holy Land to recruit disciples, Gu Jun looked at Xiao Chenyu beside him and couldn't help but think of his close friend from the Chen family in Jiangcheng.

It's unknown what level he has reached in his cultivation since he hasn't seen him for a month. If Gu Jun knew, Chen Yue would have already reached the seventh level of the Spirit Mansion realm.

Furthermore, he learned three Heavenly Rank cultivation techniques and also mastered the extremely difficult Intermediate Inscription Source Array.

He'll definitely be shocked by these unbelievable things, his stubborn jaw will drop.

With Chen Yue's strength at the time, he was capable of entering the inner sect of the Xuan Yun Holy Land.

Now, whatever requirements they meet, they could probably compete with him for the position of Xuan Yun Holy Son.

Xuan Yun Daoist's thoughts drifted to the recent large-scale recruitment of disciples, and he couldn't help but sigh, "I wonder what the quality of the disciples recruited this time is like. The strength of Xuan Yun Holy Land has already declined significantly."

"We urgently need to bring in strong new blood in order to have a chance to rebuild and strengthen the Holy Land."

In recent years, the development of Xuanyun Holy Land has been declining. If it weren't for its previous influence and unique geographical location, it would have been a disaster.

If one monopolizes a large region and allows fresh blood to continuously flow into the holy land, the situation will likely become even worse.

For example, Jiangcheng, where Chen Yue lives, is under the protection of the Xuanyun Holy Land.

The Holy Land's fame has been passed down from generation to generation, making it difficult for them to hear about other super sects. They have always aimed to join the Xuan Yun Holy Land.

This slowed down the disappearance of the Xuan Yun Holy Land, preventing it from vanishing into time so quickly after the disaster.

But if things continue to develop like this, it's only a matter of time before they perish.

Either someone in the Xuan Yun Holy Land breaks through to the King Realm, or a prodigy with talent far surpassing Gu Jun emerges and leads the Xuan Yun Holy Land back to its peak.

Judging from the current situation, not to mention the extremely small probability of the latter, let's just talk about the former, the King Realm expert.

Within this vast holy land, there are only two people who have the best chance of survival.

Those were Xuan Yun Daoist's two junior brothers, Mu Xin and Yao Yu, whose strength was at the peak of the Sun Wheel Realm.

The best candidate for the next Xuan Yun Holy Lord is undoubtedly Mu Xin.

Given Yao Yu's personality, she is more suited to assist Mu Xin.

At this point, Xuan Yun Dao Ren had transformed breaking through to the King Realm into an obsession, no longer stubbornly pouring all his energy into that impossible realm.

His immediate priority was to take good care of his two disciples and two junior brothers, for they were the future pillars of the Xuan Yun Holy Land and the people who could truly shoulder great responsibilities.

A fleeting, almost imperceptible sadness crossed Xuan Yun Dao Ren's face, but he quickly composed himself and returned to his expressionless state.

"Jun'er, in your opinion, will this large-scale recruitment of disciples result in the emergence of someone with exceptional talent?"

Gu Jun murmured softly, "A person of exceptional talent..."

The first person that came to his mind when he heard this word was his close friend from the Chen family in Jiangcheng. It was because of him that Gu Jun was able to give Xuan Yun Dao Ren a firm answer.

Yes, there must be!

"I wonder if this person's appearance will be a pleasant surprise or an unexpected turn of events for Master..."

Xuan Yun Daoist immediately sensed something was wrong and asked in a deep voice, "Who exactly are you talking about?"
