Chapter 132 - 132: Unifying the Heretic Dao as a Great Sect
Chapter 132 - 132: Unifying the Heretic Dao as a Great Sect
The disciple’s uniform was ordinary, having nothing of note.
The jade archive was similar. It was just a proof of identity to show that, from now on, Xu Bai was no longer an ordinary person without a background, but a legitimate successor of the heretical Thief Sect.
Yes.
Moreover, he was the next sect master.
But…
This ancient sword?
Ding!
“Item Name: Immortal Slaying Sword (Fake)”
“Item Quality: Blue (Upgradeable)”
“Item Effect: Enhances three basic attributes by 2%.”
“Item description: There are four swords known as the Four Immortal Slaying Swords. They are so powerful that only the Four Saints can break them. However, this one is fake. Again, it’s fake.”
“Only the four Saints can break it..
Xu Bai read the description of the ancient sword and blinked. He looked up at
Zhu Cong, who had a suspicious expression, and said “Are vou trying to fool me
with a fake?”
‘I don’t think that’s a good idea.’
He had only just acknowledged her as his master. Could it be that it was as the saying went?
After being accepted under Su Meng, he had nothing to fear?
Do you believe that I will betray the sect now?
Zhu Cong met Xu Bai’s gaze and couldn’t help but cough. “What are you talking about? What fake? This was the 50th sect master’s signature treasure of the
Great Desolate World’s Sword Sect. He forged it with passion. It’s a reference. Don’t you get it?” Yes.
A reference.
What fake?
It was too unpleasant.
Xu Bai raised his eyebrows. He really wanted to tell Zhu Cong that a fake was a fake.
But…
He thought about it and gave up on this idea. He played with the antique sword in his hand, smacked his lips, nodded, and thanked Zhu Cong.
After all, he had come here today to give himself a layer of tiger skin. Now he had gotten it, everything else was just a pleasant surprise to Xu Bai.
“Are you done?”
“I’m done.”
Zhu Cong nodded in satisfaction. “From now on, you are the direct disciple of I.
Zhu Cong. You will be the future fifty-fourth generation Sect Master of the Thief Sect and the future leader of the heretical path.”
Xu Bai nodded and stood up from the futon.
Then, he looked at Zhu Cong suspiciously. “First, the direct disciple, then your son…”
Zhu Cong interrupted without hesitation, “He’s just an ordinary disciple of the
Thief Sect, so he doesn’t have the qualifications to inherit my legacy.”
When he thought of his son who had turned his Thief Sect into a tourist attraction on the Thief Sect Mountain, he could not suppress his impulse.
But it was still alright.
He had finally found someone who could inherit his legacy and lead the Thief Sect to integrate the Nine Sects of the Heretic Dao, improve the sect, and once again become a great sect.
Zhu Cong snapped his fingers and extended his right hand. He repeated the process and tapped Xu Bai’s forehead. “I will now teach you the cultivation method of the Thief Sect.’ Xu Bai closed his eyes and felt it.
Ding!
“Zhu Cong teaches you the Heaven Mending Strategy.”
“Cultivation Method: Heaven Mending Strategy”
“Attribute: Cultivation”
“Quality: Red (Upgradeable)”
“Cultivation Requirement: Level 30”
“Cultivation Technique Effect: Increase character experience by +50%, increase skill experience by +50%, increase game currency by +50%…”
“Special Effect: Mending the Heavens (After defeating or killing an enemy, steal a certain amount of character experience and skill experience from them…)”
“Note: This is a real local cultivation technique. It’s not like the last time. This cultivation technique… is a proper cultivation technique.”
“Accept/Decline” Accept!
In an instant.
The cultivation profoundness of the Heaven Mending Strategy flowed into Xu Bai’s mind like a river. Under the enhancement of the system, it was imprinted in his mind in an instant.
Ding!
“The Heaven Replenishing Strategy can be fused with the Nine Transformation
Golden Body Scripture…”
“Do you want to assimilate?”
No assimilation.
Xu Bail s heart skipped a beat, and he chose to refuse for the time being.
Not to mention anything else.
The Nine Transformations Golden Body Scripture had gold quality, while the Heaven Nourishing Strategy had red quality. The quality was different. It was possible to assimilate them, but it would probably not achieve the best effect.
Moreover, this was not the right time and place for the assimilation.
Xu Bai chose to refuse for the time being and opened his eyes again.
Zhu Cong looked at Xu Bai, who opened his eyes in just a few breaths. A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, and he thought to himself that he was right. He looked at Xu Bai and said, “During this period, you can switch your cultivation techniques to the Thief Sect. Our Thief Sect’s cultivation techniques can accomodate all paths.”
Xu Bai nodded and looked at Zhu Cong curiously. “That motorcycle…”
Zhu Cong laughed and interrupted, “There’s no need for that. You just need to switch cultivation paths as quickly as possible.”
Xu Bai shook his head. “That won’t do.”
. What?”
Zhu Cong suspected that he had heard wrongly.
“Rules can’t be broken.” Xu Bai shook his head.”
He followed the rules very closely.
Just like how he had always been law-abiding. After all, whether it was the law or the rules, they had always been the bottom line.
Xu Bai said seriously, “That’s a separate matter. The rules can’t be broken. I’m the next leader of the Thief Sect and the heretical path. If I don’t follow the rules, how can I ask others to do so?”
Don’t do unto others what you don’t want done unto you!
Zhu Cong’s jaw dropped as he looked at Xu Bai suspiciously.
Good heavens.
This kid got into character so quickly?
Or could it be…
Was this guy here for the title of the next Sect Master and the head of the heretical path?
I’m not dead yet.
Wait a minute?
Doesn’t that mean I can retire?
Zhu Cong suddenly came to an epiphany and couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows at Xu Bai.
He was not a qualified Sect Mafter of the Thief Sect. Compared to the previous Thief Sect Sect Masters’s teachings of the unified heterodox path, his ambition was never there.
Zhu Cong’s mind raced as he looked at Xu Bai. He pursed his lips and pointed outside. “Let’s talk outside.”
“Alright.’
After Zhu Cong finished speaking, he took the lead and left the fragrant room. He brought Xu Bai to the living room on the first floor.
Zhu Nianyan was sitting cross-legged on the sofa on the first floor with her laptop in her lap. She raised her head and looked at her grandfather, Zhu Cong, who was walking down the stairs. Her gaze fell on Xu Bai, who was walking behind him with his hands in his pockets. She was slightly stunned.
Wait a minute.
Didn’t grandfather say that he wanted to take him in as his eldest disciple?
Did he?
Zhu Nianyan didn’t know why, but she felt a little disappointed when she saw Xu Bail s empty hands.
That was not right.
Who allowd him to become the eldest disciple of our Thief Sect?
I should be the one to inherit my grandfather’s legacy, unite the heretical path in the future, and lead my Thief Sect to becoming a great sect.
Zhu Nianyan put down her laptop and stood up to look at Zhu Cong. “Grandpa.”
Zhu Cong waved his hand and led Xu Bai to his seat before looking at Zhu
Nianyan again.
Zhu Nianyan blinked when she saw her grandfather looking at her.
What’s wrong?
Could it be that Grandpa knew what I was just thinking?
Thinking of this, Zhu Nianyan, who was wearing smoky makeup, couldn’t help but feel a little guilty. “Grandfather?”
“Little Nianyan.”
Zhu Cong smiled and looked at Xu Bai. “How do you think my granddaughter compares to your girlfriends?”
Xu Bai raised his eyebrows.
Zhu Nianyan was slightly stunned upon catching the keyword.
“Girlfriends?”
Zhu Nianyan couldn’t help but look at Xu Bai and ask, “Do you have many girlfriends?” How many?
Two?
Or three?
Xu Bail s mouth twitched. He glanced at Zhu Nianyan, who was full of suspicion and curiosity, and then turned to Zhu Cong. He shook his head and said, “Old man, I said that the rules cannot be broken, but I don’t want you to use them like this.”
Even though he had just become his master at lightning speed.
However, instead of calling this old man whom he had been familiar with for many years ‘Master’, Xu Bai still felt more comfortable calling him ‘Old Man’.
Zhu Cong laughed out loud and ceased discussion on the topic. Instead, he coughed and said, “Nianyan, Nianyan. Nianyan was thinking of using this opportunity to completely turn into a mortal and enter the Dao Foundation Establishment.”
The cultivation of Daoism emphasized on following the heavens and teaching students according to their aptitude. Without talent and foundation, one could not cultivate if they were not worthy.
But the Thief Sect was different.
The cultivation of the Thief Sect emphasized teaching everyone without discrimination, allowing everyone to cultivate.
so…
The descendants of the transcendents of the Dao Sect all had very good foundations, but the Thief Sect was different. They had a special cultivation secret technique that allowed them to steal once a day and use the luck of others to supplement themselves.
Xu Bai glanced at Zhu Nianyan, who was only level 20 the last time they met.
Now, she was level 28 – only one step away from stepping into the path of
Extraordinary. He nodded.
The next second.
Xu Bai extended his right hand, and a Foundation Establishment Pill the size of a pebble appeared in his palm.
The moment the Foundation Establishment Pill appeared, a unique fragrance filled the room.
Since he had asked for the motorcycle and delayed Zhu Nianyan’s foundation establishment, he would use the Foundation Establishment Pill to make up for it.
When Xu Bai lit the furnace, he refined three pills. He gave one to Su Meng, and there were two left.
Xu Bai didn’t really care about the Foundation Establishment Pill. Anyway, he didn’t really need any pills. He didn’t need to keep them for himself. They merely took up storage space.
Zhu Nianyan’s eyes widened when she saw the pill in Xu Bai’s hand. “This is… the Essence Replenishment Pill?”
Zhu Cong also stood up in surprise. He hooked his right hand and the Foundation Establishment Pill appeared in his palm. After listening to his granddaughter’s words, he looked at her and shook his head. “No, this is a
Foundation Establishment Pill.”
Compared to Zhu Nianyan, who had obtained her knowledge from books, Zhu Cong, who had practical experience, was just like Su Mingli. It only took him a few seconds to know that the Essence Replenishing Pill that Xu Bai retrieved was not the kind that would only repair the damaged foundation.
Instead, it was a Foundation Establishment Pill that could allow one to enter the Dao overnight.
The next second.
Zhu Cong was enlightened.
