Chapter 39 (294): [The Eldest Disciple]
(39th of Volume 4)

***********************************
In the Twin Rice Sect, cultivators at the Spring Surge Realm are considered Outer Sect Disciples.
Reaching the Five Seas Realm qualifies one as an Inner Sect Disciple.
Upon reaching the Fifth Stage of the Five Seas Realm, one officially becomes a Core Disciple, with the opportunity to become a Registered Disciple under an Elder, Venerable One, or Hall Master.
Those who have achieved a Breakthrough Dao Seed are known as True Inheritance Disciples.
True Inheritance Disciples hold an extremely high status and can independently undertake missions. These might include exploring uncharted areas of the Underground Immortal Mansion, intercepting and capturing intruders, or venturing to the surface for cultivation experience.
Those with even higher cultivation are called Great True Inheritance Disciples. They stand on equal footing with the Elders, enjoy greater autonomy, and can establish their own Prefectures. After planting the Death Spirit Fire, they gain unrestricted access to the Main Hall.
Li Weiyi followed Yao Qingxuan to the Spirit Valley (Linggu) Hall.
"Greetings, Venerable Nan!"
"We welcome the Venerable One's arrival!"
.....
Wherever Yao Qingxuan passed, all Inner Sect Disciples and Core Disciples retreated to the roadside, kneeling on one knee with their heads bowed, not daring to raise their heads.
Even True Inheritance Disciples had to bow respectfully, each filled with awe.
This was the power of an Immortal Realm Great Power!
Transcending the realm of mortals, wielding the power of life and death, they were among the most influential figures in any faction.
Elder Xu, whose name was Xu Tingsheng, was responsible for assessing and registering True Inheritance Disciples.
The moment he saw Yao Qingxuan enter, his drowsiness vanished, replaced by sudden alertness as he rushed forward to greet her.
"This is my first disciple, Li Weiyi. Go register him!"
Yao Qingxuan didn't even glance at him, instead sitting directly at the head of the hall, in Elder Xu's usual seat.
Anyone who could cultivate their Dao Heart Manifestation to the level of "One-Li World" after the age of sixty could be promoted to Elder.
True Inheritance Disciples who failed to reach this level by sixty would end up like Zuo Sheng and Zuo Shi, forced to endure the humiliation of being bossed around and manipulated by younger Divine Sons and Goddesses.
"One-Li World" was also the minimum requirement for entry into the Jiazi Register.
Shi Jiuzhai was at the Fifth Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm, having reached this level.
Inheritor-level figures often reached the Fourth Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm, condensing a Dao Lotus. Their Dao Heart Manifestation could then touch the "One-Li World" and enter the Jiazi Register.
Even among Elders, those from the Heaven Valley (Tianxia) Hall, responsible for the twenty-eight prefectures of the Lingxiao Realm, held greater prestige and power.
Some were even Holy Spiritual Masters and Immortal Realm Great Powers. The Elders from the twenty-eight prefectures of the Spirit Valley (Linggu) Hall's Main Hall were also of exceptionally high caliber.
Li Weiyi's fame from the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival, combined with his identity as a Divine Hidden One of the Jiu Li Hidden Sect, caused the news of his acceptance as a disciple by the Venerable Nan to spread rapidly through the Main Hall. Countless Inner Sect Disciples and Core Disciples flocked to witness the event, even drawing the attention of True Disciples.
Following Elder Xu's instructions, Li Weiyi unleashed his Psychic Power to its fullest extent.
"Whoosh!"
Spiritual Light erupted.
A miniature sun seemed to reside between his brows, radiating dazzling brilliance.
The light was so intense that the Inner Sect Disciples and Core Disciples present couldn't even open their eyes, completely illuminating the valley where the Spirit Valley (Linggu) Hall was located.
The Spiritual Light's Radiance rose, transforming into two Mulberry Trees intertwined, radiating golden light and scorching heat.
Outside the assessment grounds, the Twin Rice Sect disciples gasped in astonishment, their voices buzzing with discussion.
"How could it be Psychic Power? Isn't he a Martial-Mystic Dao cultivator? I heard he's a peerless genius capable of defying even the Young Celestial Emperors, a talent seen only once in ten thousand years in the Lingxiao Realm."
"You're so ignorant! He cultivates both Martial-Mystic Dao and Insect Control, a dual cultivator of Martial-Mystic Dao and Psychic Power. Tsk tsk, before this, no one could have imagined his Psychic Power was so formidable, far beyond that of a mere One-Star Spiritual Master."
"His Martial-Mystic Dao was crippled when an Immortal Realm Great Power shattered his Ancestral Field, forcing him to switch to Psychic Power."
"So what if his Martial-Mystic Dao path is blocked? A genius will always be a genius. At such a young age, he's already a Spiritua Master, and with the seven Lord-Marquis Grade Strange Insects he raises, his future achievements are beyond imagination."
"His Spiritual Light's Radiance is extraordinary, like two divine trees. Perhaps one day they'll take root in the earth and spread their branches across the void."
Elder Xu was secretly astonished: "A Two-Star Psychic Master! He's met the requirements for a True Inheritance Disciple. Put away your Psychic Power and Spirit Light's Radiance!"
Over the past two months, Li Weiyi had completely refined the remaining seven Star Spiritual Pills. Simultaneously, he had been absorbing the Fusang Divine Tree's radiance in the Tanggu Sea, pushing his cultivation to the limit of a Two-Star Psychic Master.
However, his accumulation time had been too short. Repeated attempts to condense a third Spiritual Power Star had ended in failure.
Yao Qingxuan, seated at the head of the hall, was slightly surprised.
It wasn't Li Weiyi's significant increase in Psychic Power that surprised her. After all, she had been informed by Shan Ze that Li Weiyi possessed the Star Spiritual Pill, a High-Grade Spiritual Pill known to enhance Psychic Power.
What surprised her was that in just two months, the Golden Crow Flame condensed from the Fusang Divine Tree's radiance had grown even stronger.
Two months ago, the Golden Crow Flame he had condensed with his Psychic Power was only equivalent to a minor technique of the first level.
If he continued cultivating, the Golden Crow Flame would soon evolve to the power of a great technique of the first level.
How had he achieved this?
The Spirit Light's Radiance of the Fusang Divine Tree... so profound?
"Hahaha!"
A thunderous, ear-splitting laughter echoed from the heavens.
A projection of a clone, shrouded in Spiritual Qi, descended from the sky and landed in the Spirit Valley (Linggu) Hall. It had enormous twin wings and strode in with a majestic gait.
"Congratulations, Venerable Nan, on accepting such an outstanding disciple and securing a Young Heavenly Emperor-level talent for the Divine Sect."
Outside, the Twin Rice Sect disciples immediately knelt in reverence, kowtowing in unison.
Li Weiyi felt a tremendous pressure and retreated to the side, observing discreetly.
Within the bright cloud mist of Spiritual Qi stood an Aberrant Humanoid powerhouse: a serpent's head, flood dragon claws, phoenix wings, a dog's tail, and a human body, towering like a mountain.
This being had consumed the blood of four Ancient Immortal Giant Beasts, resulting in four distinct transformations. Normally, only Immortal Realm Great Powers could achieve such a feat.
Though the figure offered congratulations, Li Weiyi sensed ill intent.
Li Weiyi had intended to conceal his true abilities, revealing only his Psychic Power talent. Yet the figure had deliberately mentioned "Young Heavenly Emperor," clearly signaling hostile intentions.
Yao Qingxuan gazed at the Aberrant Humanoid figure across from him: "I merely accepted a disciple. I didn't expect to alarm even the Vice Hall Master of the Heavenly Principles (Tianli) Hall."
Vice Hall Master Chu Tianshu of the Heavenly Principles (Tianli) Hall chuckled: "Since ancient times, the Divine Sect has never produced a Young Heavenly Emperor-level prodigy. Now that we've acquired one, it's naturally a cause for celebration throughout the sect. I propose we hold a grand ceremony to directly appoint him as the Divine Son and notify the two Rice Ancestors of the Sacred Heart level."
Yao Qingxuan replied, "Doesn't the Vice Hall Master know that his Ancestral Field was shattered, severely limiting his path in the Martial-Mystic Dao? He now primarily cultivates Psychic Power."
Chu Tianshu asked, "Venerable Nan, have you already investigated this? Was his Ancestral Field truly shattered?"
Li Weiyi remained calm, realizing that the Vice Hall Master's target was Yao Qingxuan, not him.
"What? Does the Vice Hall Master wish to investigate again? I took him as my disciple because of his exceptional talent in Psychic Power, not his Martial-Mystic Path potential," Yao Qingxuan replied flawlessly.
Chu Tianshu laughed heartily: "Since Venerable Nan has already investigated, it must be true. Alas, what a pity! However, cultivating the Spiritual Light's Radiance of the Fusang Divine Tree, coupled with the aid of seven Lord-Marquis Grade Strange Insects, makes him a legendary Psychic Power prodigy and Insect Tamer."
"The Venerable Nan is at the Martial-Mystic Dao Immortal Realm. How could she properly teach a Psychic Power genius? The Heavenly Principles (Tianli) Hall is the true sacred ground for Psychic Power cultivation."
Li Weiyi met the gaze of this Immortal Realm Great Power with neither arrogance nor humility.
"Thank you for your kindness, Vice Hall Master. However, I remain unconvinced. I've already prepared to plant a Dao Seed in my Wind Mansion. I intend to cultivate both Martial Dao and Psychic Power!"
If Li Weiyi truly planted a Dao Seed in his Wind Mansion, it would naturally dispel all doubts.
At the same time, it would use gentleness to overcome strength, neutralizing Chu Tianshu's targeted actions and leaving him speechless.
"Excellent, excellent, excellent! What ambition! Wei Yi, the doors of the Heavenly Principles (Tianli) Hall are always open to you."
Chu Tianshu's Spiritual Qi light and shadow receded like a tide, vanishing into the northern sky.
"What a cunning Vice Hall Master Chu Tianshu. With just a few subtle moves, he's dug a deep pit for Yao Qingxuan. At the same time, he's made sure the True Disciples, Divine Sons, and Goddesses of the Twin Rice Sect know I've cultivated the Fusang Divine Tree Spiritual Light and possess seven rare insects. I wonder if he was involved in the Puppet Technique Scarecrow assassination." Li Weiyi mused inwardly.
....
Sixth Divine Maiden's Residence.
After listening to Yang Yun's report, Yang Qingxi emerged from her cultivation chamber for the first time in months.
"Rumble!"
Above the residence, the vast and luminous celestial river's light and shadow transformed into hundreds of streams of Spiritual Qi, surging into her body. Her entire being shimmered with divine light, her skin as radiant as immortal jade.
Compared to a year ago, having reached the Second Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm, her aura had become even more sharp and imposing, as if transcending the mortal realm.
Yang Yun, who had once faced his formidable sister with composure, now couldn't even stand straight. He no longer resembled a brother but rather a grandson.
Yang Qingxi murmured, "You said Li Weiyi effortlessly defeated Zuo Sheng, who is in the Second Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm?"
Yang Yun nodded frantically, like a chicken pecking at rice: "He unleashed a whip of Spiritual Light Flame from his brow, which cracked through the air with each slash. He could even contend with Zuo Sheng using only Psychic Power. Though his Martial-Mystic Dao is crippled, his Psychic Power has resurged, making him incredibly formidable."
Yang Qingxi pondered deeply: "He sent you to deliver a message to Wang Shu, likely to draw me into his scheme."
"I thought the same, Sister. We mustn't let him manipulate us," Yang Yun said.
Yang Qingxi remained silent, her mind already racing with her own plans.
After cultivating the Dragon Seed Dao, Yang Qingxi analyzed the Dao of the Ancient Dragon Emperor, comparing it to her own Ma5rtial Dao. Every day brought new insights, and her cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.
Yet she remained unable to break through to the Third Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm.
She knew the reason: her physical strength couldn't keep pace with her Martial-Mystic Dao cultivation, holding her back. So, for some time now, Yang Qingxi had been refining Blood Crystals and consuming medicinal pills to enhance her physical body.
While her power surged, her wealth flowed away like water.
No longer managing the Sui Sect's secular affairs, Yang Qingxi couldn't embezzle funds.
Now, she was strapped for cash.
At the Dao Seed Realm, every aspect of cultivation demanded vast sums. Even an Ancient Sect like the Zuoqiu Sect required Dao Seed Realm Martial-Mystic Cultivators to explore Secret Realms and seek resources themselves; the sect could only cover a portion.
The Spring Surge and Five Seas Realms were like seedlings, while the Dao Seed Realm was the pillar supporting a sect and its clan.
Yang Qingxi knew that Wang Shu, the Fourth Divine Son, had opened a secret treasure vault during his exploration of the Underground Immortal Mansion, gaining access to considerable resources.
His exceptional comprehension, enabling him to master great techniques, was directly linked to that treasure vault.
