Chapter 1338: Chapter 1338: Grandmaster Jing Yan
At this moment, as long as one is in the Star Moon Valley, whether a direct disciple or registered disciple of the Zhan Yue God Emperor, they all received such a wave of Mysterious Divine Thought.
Jing Yan! The eighth direct disciple of the Zhan Yue God Emperor.
"Fellow Daoists!"
The Shan Hai Divine Sovereign cupped his hands towards the martial artists around him, full of smiles.
"Jing Yan, who participated in the Immortal Bridge Meeting as Yan Jin, has formally apprenticed to the Zhan Yue God Emperor and become the eighth direct disciple of the Zhan Yue God Emperor!" Shan Hai Divine Sovereign informed all the martial artists present in the arena and within the great halls surrounding it.
"Truly apprenticed!"
"Jing Yan? So he used the alias Yan Jin during the Immortal Bridge Meeting."
"However, the Valley Master obviously does not intend to blame him. Being a direct disciple, he must have had a sufficient reason for doing so."
"This Jing Yan’s Divine Soul Body must truly not have burned. If it did, Jing Yan certainly wouldn’t dare conceal it from the Valley Master. The Valley Master wouldn’t accept him as a direct disciple, even being a registered disciple would be difficult."
Some God Lords present regretted their decisions immensely.
Especially first-class God Lords like Wu Huo Ancestor.
Ordinary God Lords might truly fear the Zhi Ying Divine Sovereign, afraid of revenge. But even first-class God Lords like Wu Huo Ancestor and Emperor Donghua, although not as strong as the Zhi Ying Divine Sovereign, are not far behind. Would Zhi Ying Divine Sovereign really pursue an endless vendetta with them just because they accepted Jing Yan as a disciple?
Moreover, once Jing Yan becomes a God Lord in the future, his combat power will easily reach the level of a first-class God Lord or even rival a super first-class God Lord. At that time, what can Zhi Ying Divine Sovereign do?
Behind the seemingly indifferent faces, there were waves of mixed regret and emotion.
...
Golden Great Hall!
"Jing Yan, this Flying Sky Talisman, I personally refined it, and now I bestow it to you. Remember, do not use it lightly unless in a life-and-death situation." With a wave of her jade hand, the Zhan Yue God Emperor sent the Flying Sky Talisman suspended in the space to Jing Yan.
Looking at this unassuming Order Token before him, Jing Yan’s eyes radiated with undisguised excitement.
He had heard of the Flying Sky Talisman of the Star Moon World before, but had never had the opportunity to see it firsthand. Now, not only did he see the Flying Sky Talisman, but he also received this one personally refined by the Zhan Yue God Emperor.
This was practically a second life!
Even when facing powerful figures like Zhi Ying Divine Sovereign and Fenghua Venerable Divine, having a Flying Sky Talisman could save his life. Unfortunately, the Flying Sky Talisman can only be used once. Once it’s activated, it’s completely wasted.
"Thank you, Master!" Jing Yan expressed his gratitude.
He immediately refined the Flying Sky Talisman on the spot, and once refined, it directly merged into Jing Yan’s body, ready to be activated at any time.
"Calm your mind and hear the Dao!" Right after Jing Yan refined the Flying Sky Talisman, the ethereal voice of the Zhan Yue God Emperor echoed.
Jing Yan quickly prepared himself.
At the same time, a vast Divine Soul Aura, containing infinite information, continuously merged into Jing Yan’s divine soul.
This information was truly overwhelming. If Jing Yan’s Divine Soul Body was not on par with a Great Ability God Lord, he might not have been able to receive and withstand such a large amount of information.
Transmission of the Dao and teaching the Dao are different.
Previously, during the Immortal Bridge Meeting, both Kuai Rong Divine Lord and Sun Zhao Main God transmitted the Dao to the martial artists who advanced in the meeting. However, such transmission of the Dao was very reserved.
The transmission of the Dao by the Zhan Yue God Emperor to direct disciples is naturally different from that to registered disciples.
Even among different direct disciples, the content of the Dao transmission can vary. Some receive less, others more. It depends on the mood or preference of the Zhan Yue God Emperor.
And what Jing Yan received this time during Hearing the Dao was evidently a lot.
The Zhan Yue God Emperor held nothing back in transmitting the Dao to Jing Yan. Whatever she could teach JIng Yan, she taught without reservation.
This transmission of the Dao lasted for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea before it finally ended.
The transmission of the Dao ended!
Jing Yan shook his head vigorously, feeling somewhat muddled.
This experience of Hearing the Dao was truly eye-opening for him.
If before, his understanding of the Heaven and Earth Daoist was like a frog in the well looking at the sky, then now, his understanding was like looking at the sky from the shoulders of a giant.
The difference in perspective was significant!
Of course, he now only had a broader understanding, still far from truly comprehending and realizing it.
It was astounding.
Now Jing Yan understood more why those Main God Warriors were eager to find a Great Ability to apprentice under. With the transmission and guidance from a Great Ability, one could save an unknown amount of time and avoid countless detours.
"Jing Yan!"
While Jing Yan was still a little dazed, his master, the Zhan Yue God Emperor, called his name again.
"The path of martial arts is like walking on thin ice."
"Even if your talent is unparalleled in the God Realm, even if you have an extremely powerful master’s guidance, you must never be arrogant or careless."
"Harmonization is extremely difficult. Your fifth senior brother, Sun Zhao, also has outstanding talent and has worked very hard. Yet, even he hasn’t achieved Harmonization to this day."
"Do you understand what I’m saying?" the Zhan Yue God Emperor asked in a gentle tone.
"Disciple will remember!" Jing Yan respectfully bowed.
He understood the Zhan Yue God Emperor’s meaning. Even if he managed to achieve Harmonization in the future, success was not guaranteed.
Throughout the long years of the God Realm, many martial artists with extraordinary talent have fallen at the step of Harmonization, losing their lives and ways.
"Alright, you may go. You don’t have to stay and cultivate in the Star Moon Valley. You are still young and need to constantly temper yourself to have a better chance of achieving Harmonization in the future." The Zhan Yue God Emperor waved her hand.
Jing Yan bowed again.
When he straightened up, he took the opportunity to look at his master, the Zhan Yue God Emperor, who was seated in front of him again. Although the space around the Zhan Yue God Emperor was still distorted, Jing Yan could clearly see his master’s appearance.
It was an absolutely stunning visage, a beauty so captivating it took one’s breath away!
Jing Yan quickly averted his gaze, lowered his head, and respectfully retreated, leaving the Golden Great Hall.
He returned to the arena soon after.
"Junior Brother Jing Yan!"
"Haha, Eighth Junior Brother!"
Not only Shan Hai, Kuai Rong, and others he had met before, but also several senior brothers he hadn’t seen yet, all came over to warmly greet Jing Yan.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Jing Yan!"
After the direct disciples greeted Jing Yan, then it was the registered disciples’ turn. Even if they had been registered disciples for hundreds of millions of years, they had to address him as Senior Brother in front of Jing Yan.
"Greetings, Uncle Jing Yan!"
"Greetings, Ancestor Uncle..."
After the Zhan Yue God Emperor’s registered disciples paid their respects, it was the martial artists of lower ranks, such as the disciples of Shan Hai Divine Sovereign, and the disciples of those disciples, and so forth.
In any case, it was a lively scene. With so many people present, Jing Yan couldn’t respond to everyone one by one, so he could only exchange a few words with some of the more important peers.
