“Greetings, Senior Sister.”
Qi Ming reacted and immediately cupped his hands in greeting to Qing Yu, “So it’s Senior Sister. I didn’t know just now. I hope Senior Sister doesn’t take offense.”
“Are you worth my blame?”
Qing Yu chuckled and sized up Qi Ming a few more times, “You’re only Master’s in-name disciple now. You haven’t really become his disciple. Therefore, you can’t be considered my junior brother.”
“Senior Sister, don’t worry. It will definitely be in the future.”
“That will depend on your performance in the future.”
Qing Yu shrugged and said, “If you can perform extremely well in this Demon World Assembly and even win the first place, perhaps you can be directly taken in by Master.”
“You have to work hard.”
Qing Yu took light steps and walked to Qi Ming’s side. A unique aura and fragrance floated past Qi Ming’s nose and gently patted his shoulder.
Qing Yu’s figure gradually faded and disappeared.
Qi Ming also heaved a sigh of relief and pondered for a moment before saying, “Therefore, now that I’ve become the in-name disciple of the Lord of the Demon World, I didn’t expect it to be so easy.”
“However…”
Qi Ming shook his head, “I actually know that I’m only an in-name disciple now. I haven’t even seen the Lord of the Demon World. Clearly, I’m not important in the eyes of the Lord of the Demon World.”
“I’m dispensable.”
“That’s good too.”
Qi Ming said, “I’m actually quite worried that the Lord of the Demon World will pay special attention to me. After all, my secrets are not small. As one of the nine Lords of the Upper World, if the Lord of the Demon World discovers my secrets, he might be in huge trouble and danger.”
Not long after, a pillar of light descended from the sky and landed on Qi Ming. His figure disappeared from this side hall and left.
Not long after Qi Ming left, in a corner of this side hall, a tall and thin young man walked out. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and asked indifferently, “What do you think of Qi Ming?”
“Not bad.” Qing Yu’s figure appeared, “But it’s only average. It should be better than Primordial at least.”
At this moment, another hazy figure walked out. His expression was calm, and his face was handsome. His left hand was behind his back, and his right hand held a fan. He was elegant and easygoing, “After an entire 200,000 epochs, Primordial was unable to take the last step. He could only rely on the Upper World Heavenly Dao to step into the Eternal Supreme Venerate realm. He’s only qualified to be an outer sect disciple.”
“I hope this Qi Ming is better than him.”
“I think it’s very difficult.”
“Who knows…”
A few more figures appeared.
The requirements of the Lord of the Demon World to take in a disciple were extremely high. Although Qi Ming had only just become the in-name disciple of the Lord of the Demon World, the personal disciples of the Lord of the Demon World still noticed him slightly.
Outside the hall.
In the void of the Demon World’s Eternal Supreme Heaven.
“Master.”
Qi Ming felt his vision blur. He did not resist the power of teleportation. When he returned to his senses, he had already arrived outside. The Primordial Supreme Venerate had also appeared in front of him.
The Primordial Supreme Venerate’s face was clearly filled with joy. Clearly, he had obtained a lot of benefits during the meeting with the Lord of the Demon World, “Qi Ming, you shouldn’t call me Master anymore.”
“From now on, since you’ve already become the in-name disciple of the Lord of the Demon World, I’m your Senior Brother Primordial, understand?”
“This…” Qi Ming pondered for a moment and cupped his hands, “Yes, Senior Brother Primordial.”
The Primordial Supreme Venerate nodded, “Alright, let’s go back. Next, we’ll just wait for the Demon World Assembly to begin in three years.”
Qi Ming nodded.
The Primordial Supreme Venerate took out the token. With a wave of his right hand, he opened a stable passageway. Qi Ming followed the Primordial Supreme Venerate into it and disappeared.
The scene changed.
Qi Ming and the Primordial Supreme Venerate crossed countless space and time and endless distance. They walked out of the passageway and returned to the Langya Immortal City, arriving at the entrance of the independent courtyard in the outer sect region.
“We’re back.”
The Primordial Supreme Venerate nodded and walked into the courtyard. Qi Ming followed.
“Master.”
“Junior Brother.”
“You’re back.”
“…”
The Black Yellow Heavenly Venerate, Heavenly Venerate Yu Ling, and the others came out of their rooms.
The Primordial Supreme Venerate swept his gaze and coughed lightly. He then said in a low voice, “This time, I met the Lord of the Demon World with Qi Ming. He has already become the in-name disciple of the Lord of the Demon World, so he’s my junior brother.”
“From now on, you should call Qi Ming Uncle-Master. Do you understand?”
“This…”
“As expected…”
“…”
The Black Yellow Heavenly Venerate and the others looked at each other. They did not show any surprise. Instead, it was as if they had expected this.
“Congratulations, Uncle-Master Qi. Greetings, Uncle-Master Qi.”
The Black Yellow Heavenly Venerate and the others cupped their hands and bowed.
“This… this…”
Qi Ming did not know what to say for a moment. When he saw the expressions of the Black Yellow Heavenly Venerate and the others, he was a little helpless, “Senior brothers and sisters, you don’t have to do this.”
The Primordial Supreme Venerate said in a low voice, “No matter what, your seniority can’t be messed up. They should call you Uncle-Master.”
“This…”
Qi Ming felt even more helpless.
After a while, he was actually a generation higher.
“Alright.”
The Primordial Supreme Venerate waved his hand, “This matter is settled. You have to prepare well. The Demon World Assembly will begin in three years. Danger is everywhere. You can’t let your guard down.”
“I’ll remember it.”
“Master, don’t worry.”
“…”
The Black Yellow Heavenly Venerate and the others cupped their hands.
The Primordial Supreme Venerate was the first to enter the main room. The Black Yellow Heavenly Venerate and the others also returned to their rooms one after another. Qi Ming sighed and returned to his room.
Qi Ming waved his right hand and opened his inventory. With a thought, he quickly took out three storage rings.
The one on the right was the 109 trillion low-grade Dao Origin he had obtained after selling.
The storage ring in the center was a storage ring seized from the enemy. There were 540 billion low-grade Dao Origin, 140 million medium-grade Dao Origin, a million high-grade Dao Origin, and other treasures and items.
The third storage ring was given to Qi Ming by Qing Yu. There were a quadrillion low-grade Dao Origin, 100 trillion medium-grade Dao Origin, 10 trillion high-grade Dao Origin, and a trillion top-grade Dao Origin inside.
The Lord of the Demon World was indeed worthy of being one of the nine Lords of the Upper World. He was so generous. Qi Ming was only an in-name disciple, but he had given so many Dao Origin.
Apart from that, there were also three jade slips.
Qi Ming waved his right hand and took out all three jade slips. The black-purple jade slip on the rightmost side landed in his hand, and a Great Dao True Talisman circulated.
“This is…”
With a thought, Qi Ming injected Dao power into it. The corresponding information surged into Qi Ming’s mind. Countless trillion runes interwove and gathered.
Finally, these runes formed four words.
It was called the Great Dao True Scripture.
“I see.”
Qi Ming comprehended the Great Dao True Scripture. Although he could not completely comprehend it, he knew some profundities, “This Great Dao True Scripture is not a cultivation method, nor is it a divine power. Instead, it is the description and understanding of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao that records the profundities and truths of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao.”
“This way…”
“I can comprehend myself by comprehending the Great Dao True Scripture and create the Great Dao Scripture that matches me. Instead of directly learning the cultivation method of the Lord of the Demon World, I can create my own cultivation method and establish my own path.”
Qi Ming took a deep breath and sighed, “As expected of the Lord of the Demon World. He actually directly gave me such a precious Great Dao True Scripture, and I’m only an in-name disciple.”
He picked up the second jade slip and injected Dao energy into it. Purple-gold runes flickered like dragon-shaped true light. They were abnormally profound.
“This is…”
Qi Ming reacted, “So it’s a Great Dao Divine Power. It’s called the Heaven and Earth True Dragon Technique. It can transform everything in the world into a dragon for my own use. It’s extremely domineering.”
“Not bad, not bad.”
Qi Ming nodded in satisfaction.
As for the last jade slip, Qi Ming had just poured his Dao power into it when the jade slip in his hand lit up with a dazzling light. Waves of light surged and gathered into a figure.
“This…”
Qi Ming was shocked. He looked at this figure but did not discover endless Dao runes. Instead, he was like an ordinary mortal. He had a square face and thick hair. He was dressed in black and had his hands behind his back. He looked down at Qi Ming and said, “You’re Qi Ming.”
“You are?!”
“Lord of the Demon World.” The figure said.
“Disciple Qi Ming greets Master.” Qi Ming bowed.
The Lord of the Demon World sized up Qi Ming a few more times, “Not bad. You indeed cultivate the Great Dao and even have a Great Dao Body. Moreover, you’ve long walked your own path. Compared to that Primordial kid, you’re much more outstanding.”
“…”
Qi Ming lowered his head and did not speak.
“Alright.”
The Lord of the Demon World waved his hand, “Don’t be too nervous. To me, I’ve seen everything in the entire myriad worlds and even the entire Void Universe Sea.”
“From the First Void Era to the current Tenth Void Era, I’ve lived for so long. In the entire myriad worlds, there are not many things that can interest me.”
“I know you have secrets, but who doesn’t have secrets for every cultivator of the Great Dao? Therefore, I don’t want to pursue anything.”
“Moreover…”
“I don’t care either.”
“Perhaps I feel that it’s getting boring. Starting from the Seventh Void Era, I began to take in disciples and teach the Great Dao. As for you, you’re already the 10,000th in-name disciple I’ve taken in.”
“10,000.”
“Doesn’t it sound a lot?”
“But you have to know, to the number of living beings in the various worlds, 10,000 is actually a drop in the ocean. Moreover, it began from the Seventh Void Era.”
“I’m too bored with taking in disciples. I want to find something to do.”
“Alright.” The Lord of the Demon World said, “I’ve told you everything that needs to be said. The Demon World Assembly has begun.. As long as you can enter the top level of the Heaven and Earth Black Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda and take away the treasure I place, I can directly take you as my personal disciple.”
