Chapter 856: Chapter 851: I Have Decided (6 Updates)

The twelve elders, now, are not cooperating.

It’s within reason, I suppose!

After all, just how monstrously talented is Su Chen? It’s only based on what Heyue Nishang has said, no one else has witnessed it. Moreover, it is said that Su Chen is only at the Fifth Level of the Qiongji Realm. Even if he is a genius, can his strength really surpass that of the Ancestral King Realm?

Keep in mind that almost every True Disciple of the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect possesses the strength of the Ninth Level of the Ancestral King Realm or even the Half-Step Ancestor Emperor Realm.

What’s more important is that the Sect rules dictate that each elder can take no more than seven disciples.

Each disciple’s spot is very important; taking Su Chen means losing a spot.

What if Su Chen’s actual strength does not live up to his talent?

It’s not that the elders don’t believe in Heyue Nishang’s judgment—her discernment is certainly beyond reproach. However, the death rate in the Buddha Domain is exceptionally high, and no genius can confidently claim they will surely survive to the end. No matter how terrifying Su Chen’s martial cultivation talent may be, his current strength is inadequate. All talk of the future is mere speculation! Who knows when Su Chen might die?

"You don’t have to worry about not having an elder take you as a disciple. I have decent relationships with several of them," Heyue Nishang added.

But Su Chen shook his head directly: "No need."

"Why?" Heyue Nishang frowned slightly for a moment.

"An unripe melon plucked by force is not sweet," Su Chen smiled.

Since the twelve elders are all rather unwilling to take him as a disciple, then it’s fine not to become a True Disciple and be rid of some constraints.

Starting as an Outer Sect Disciple and working his way up to the Peak feels more solid.

Besides, the waste of his martial cultivation talent that Heyue Nishang worries about simply does not exist.

He doesn’t need any guidance or teaching. His path of martial arts cultivation is unique, with Divine Mansion, True Fire Body Refinement, and Divine Demon Body Refinement. Nobody can help or teach him, nor will the absence of a powerful master cause his talent for martial cultivation to go to waste.

"There are some things I hope you will not be stubborn about," Heyue Nishang fell silent for a moment before saying: "You may not yet understand what it really means to be a True Disciple. In the Buddha Domain, the hierarchy is incredibly strict, much more so than within the Four Great Ancient Nations. The identity of a True Disciple comes with many advantages and earns a lot more respect and awe."

"I have made my decision," Su Chen replied with a smile: "Thank you, Miss Heyue. If Miss Heyue truly wishes to help me, please help Luoying."

Su Chen gestured towards Jun Luoying.

Jun Luoying, though his talent for martial cultivation is amazing, is still relatively weak for now.

He needs someone to look after him.

And the best person to care for Jun Luoying is Heyue Nishang.

"Can do." With Heyue Nishang’s keen Eye Power, she could almost see through Jun Luoying in one glance. Although he cannot compare to Su Chen, Jun Luoying is still a Super Genius, meeting the requirements for discipleship at the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect. So, arranging things for Jun Luoying is no problem.

"Thank you," Su Chen said with a smile, etching this kindness into his memory.

"Are you really certain about starting as an Outer Sect Disciple?" Heyue Nishang still asked again. She felt a sense of regret and annoyance deep down—regret that Su Chen was too proud, and starting as an Outer Sect Disciple truly seemed a waste of time for him. Annoyance arose from the attitude of the twelve elders—if it wasn’t for their posturing, Su Chen wouldn’t have insisted on starting from the Outer Sect.

"Certain," Su Chen replied without hesitation.

"Well then," Heyue Nishang was not one to dwell on matters, as Su Chen had made his choice, and she wouldn’t forcibly intervene.

The next second, she disappeared, taking Jun Luoying with her.

And in Su Chen’s hand, there appeared a Hand Edict!

This Hand Edict served as a letter of recommendation.

The Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect recruits disciples not only through their public recruitment every ten years but also through these recommendation letters.

Many individuals in the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect, such as elders, deacons, and others, have the power to make recommendations. Of course, to recommend entry to the Outer Sect is a power held by deacons, but for the Inner Sect, only elders, supreme elders, the Sect Leader, and Heyue Nishang are qualified.

Heyue Nishang was special. She didn’t hold any formal position in the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect, but not even the Sect Leader could ignore her.

"Su... Su... Su Chen, you really have passed up an opportunity—a True Disciple!" after Heyue Nishang left, Yu Jianlin muttered softly, his face full of regret: "A True Disciple in the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect holds a very high status."

"Oh!" Su Chen was indifferent. Status? Heh... Status is ultimately achieved through strength. Everything else is an illusion; only strength is real.

Seeing Su Chen’s indifference, Yu Jianlin sighed and said no more: "Su Chen, come, I’ll take you to the Outer Sect. I’m also an Outer Sect Disciple."

"Tell me about the Outer Sect!" Su Chen said with a smile, in quite a good mood. Of course, he was not the petty type. Today, he was effectively looked down upon by the twelve elders, but he would regain his standing in the future.

"The Outer Sect of the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect has a total of six thousand disciples," Yu Jianlin began to explain slowly: "The treatment of Outer Sect Disciples is not too great, but since it’s the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect, it’s still passable. If one manages sparingly, it’s basically enough for cultivation. Of course, the vast majority of Outer Sect Disciples go to the Mission Pavilion to take on tasks, in exchange for more Martial Cultivation Resources. There are also many Outer Sect Disciples who like to participate in life-and-death battles; if you win, you gain everything the opponent has accumulated, including all their Martial Cultivation Resources. If you lose, you lose everything, including your life."

"What is the strength of the Outer Sect Disciples like?"

"The weakest Outer Sect Disciples are at the First Level of the Ancestral King Realm, and the strongest do not exceed the Fifth Level of the Ancestral King Realm," Yu Jianlin said solemnly: "Among the six thousand disciples of the Outer Sect, I rank around three hundred."

Led by Yu Jianlin, they soon arrived at the Outer Sect.

"Firstly, the hallmark of becoming an Outer Sect Disciple is to don the unique robe of the Outer Sect," Yu Jianlin led Su Chen into the Outer Sect: "So first, we have to go to the Spiritual Affairs Pavilion. Inside the Spiritual Affairs Pavilion, you can collect your Outer Sect robe, receive the Martial Cultivation Resources for the first month, and leave a strand of Divine Soul inside a Soul Plaque. If you die or encounter an accident outside the Sect, the Soul Plaque will shatter, and the Sect will avenge you."

The Outer Sect was vast and spacious, much like entering a large university. Of course, this "university" was many times larger than those of the 211 and 985 universities on Earth Huaxia.

Passing by, they occasionally encountered a few Outer Sect Disciples, who were generally at the Second or Third Level of the Ancestral King Realm. They would curiously observe Su Chen.

Because Su Chen was not wearing the unique robe of the Outer Sect, it was clear that he was a newcomer ready to be enrolled.
