165: Son of Yang

Yang Wuji looked at Xu Qi'an in front of him, carefully sizing him up, then smiled.

"Are you willing to become my True Disciple?"

Xu Qi'an clasped his hands, knelt on one knee, and said sincerely, "Revered Master, please accept this Disciple's bow!"

"Hahaha, good!"

Yang Wuji was extremely pleased to hear this.

Those around him also showed joy at this scene.

Before long, several more powerful-aura elders entered the main hall.

As soon as they saw Xu Qi'an, their eyes lit up, and they became happy.

Upon hearing that Xu Qi'an's Yang spiritual root was a completely pure Yang spiritual root, they were even more pleasantly surprised.

Yang Wuji sat on the main seat and announced to the crowd below, "Everyone, from today onwards, I intend to establish Xu Qi'an as the Holy Son of the Yang Sect. Do any of you have any objections?"

Everyone exchanged glances, and practically no one hesitated in the slightest.

"We respectfully obey the order of the Supreme Grand Elder!"

"Yang Sect Holy Son?"

This somewhat surprised Xu Qi'an, as there was no mention of this in the premonition line.

Yang Wuji smiled as he looked at Xu Qi'an, then with a wave of his hand, he took Xu Qi'an out of the main hall.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Qi'an found himself in a pavilion.

Yang Wuji was standing by the window, looking at the colorful clouds outside, his expression inexplicably relieved yet also somewhat desolate.

"Qi'an, my time is short..."

"But heaven still has eyes, to send you to my Yang Sect at this time."

These words caused Xu Qi'an to pause slightly.

"Time is short? Revered Master, aren't you at the ninth layer of the Tribulation Transcending Stage? You're only one layer away from reaching the Peak of Tribulation Transcending, then comprehending the Immortal Tribulation, and thus ascending to immortality!"

"Heh heh..."

Yang Wuji turned around and chuckled softly.

"Becoming an immortal is not that easy. If it were, I wouldn't have been trapped here for tens of thousands of years!"

"Even that Old Mo of the Ascension Palace could have become an immortal long ago!"

"Ultimately, we are all sinners abandoned by the Immortal Realm!"

"Hm?"

Xu Qi'an was puzzled by these words.

"What Revered Master said..."

Xu Qi'an wanted to inquire further into the truth, but Yang Wuji stopped him with a hand.

"These are not things you can understand yet. You will know when you Cultivate to the Tribulation Transcending Stage."

Xu Qi'an nodded slightly.

Yang Wuji then looked at Xu Qi'an's body and said meaningfully, "You are a Cultivator of the Reverse Immortal Alliance, aren't you!"

Xu Qi'an had no intention of hiding it, and immediately affirmed, "This Junior accidentally cultivated the Time Domain, and was later pursued by the Celestial Pivot Sect Cultivators under the Ascension Palace. After that, I unexpectedly met a Reverse Immortal Alliance Cultivator, and that's how I joined the Reverse Immortal Alliance."

Yang Wuji shook his head slightly and sighed, "The Reverse Immortal Alliance is not yet strong enough; confronting the Ascension Palace is like hitting a rock with an egg."

"Heh heh, speaking of which, the Alliance Revered Master of the Reverse Immortal Alliance is actually the adopted son of Mo Qianjie, the Spirit Emperor of the Ascension Palace!"

"Back then, this adopted son accidentally entered the Immortal Remnant Land and obtained a trace of fortuitous encounter, so he rebelled against the Ascension Palace."

Xu Qi'an's mind trembled upon hearing this.

He hadn't expected the Reverse Immortal Alliance to have such a connection. Doesn't that mean if the Reverse Immortal Alliance Revered Master were to make peace with the Ascension Palace, then those lower-level Cultivators who Cultivate forbidden Domains would only have one outcome!

Xu Qi'an's heart chilled at this thought.

"However, young Qi'an, you are indeed a Genius. With a completely pure Yang spiritual root talent, you didn't Cultivate Yang-attribute cultivation methods and Domains. Instead, you learned all sorts of miscellaneous things."

"You are truly an extraordinary Genius!"

Yang Wuji stroked his beard, and a hint of admiration actually showed in his expression.

"However, since you have entered my Yang Sect and become my Yang Sect Holy Son, let all the past be bygones!"

"Your other Domains and your Thunder Body can all be cleansed through my Yang Sect's Yang Essence Pool!"

"At that time, with your pure Yang spiritual root, you might even be able to forge my Yang Sect's renowned Three Yang Spirit Body."

"With this Spirit Body, your cultivation of the Sun, Bright Yang, and Profound Yang Domains will be unimpeded!"

"Furthermore, it's better for you to wash away this forbidden Domain, otherwise those old geezers from the Ascension Palace will go crazy again..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qi'an clasped his hands and bowed, his face showing a conflicted expression: "This Disciple thanks Revered Master, but this Disciple... is unwilling to cleanse his body!"

"Hm?" This sentence immediately stopped the smile on Yang Wuji's face.

But seeing that Xu Qi'an had more to say, he didn't flare up and spoke indifferently.

"Tell me, why are you unwilling to cleanse your body?"

Xu Qi'an took a deep breath and then explained.

"This Disciple is unwilling to waste the cultivation I have painstakingly comprehended and cultivated over the years..."

"In terms of Domains, this Disciple wants to take the Yang Sect as the foundation, absorb the strengths of hundreds of other Domains, and create a unique Domain!"

"And in terms of the Thunder Body, this Disciple has cultivated a Body Refinement cultivation method that progresses layer by layer, and this Disciple is also unwilling to give it up...!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Wuji's lips twitched slightly in anger, and he then coldly cursed, "You are truly being absurd!"

"Every Domain is incompatible. You now want to create a new Domain from the chaotic and disorganized Domains on your body? How is that possible!"

"I advise you not to waste your efforts on this!"

"And my Yang Sect has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, with countless top-tier cultivation methods. Even for Body Refinement cultivation methods, as I said, with the Yang Essence Pool and your Yang spiritual root, you can easily forge the Three Yang Spirit Body for yourself!"

"Isn't this Spirit Body better than whatever damned Thunder Body you have?"

Xu Qi'an remained calm, bowing his head in禮, waiting for Yang Wuji to calm down.

Yang Wuji saw that Xu Qi'an did not retort, and only sighed slightly.

"Fine, fine, perhaps there is indeed something unique about your cultivation so far."

"However, for now, you should focus on cultivating the techniques of my Yang Sect."

"As long as you grasp the Three Yangs Concept within ten years and temper the Three Yang Spirit Body, you can do as you please with other matters!"

"Thank you, Revered Master!" Xu Qi'an bowed.

Yang Wuji waved his hand, then threw out a Jade Slip and a token from his Storage Pouch.

"This token is the symbol of a Yang Sect Holy Son. With this token, you can freely enter and exit the Yang Sect's Scripture Repository."

"That Jade Slip records the method for comprehending the Three Yangs Concept, as well as the method for tempering the Three Yang Spirit Body."

"Ten years from now, I will test you. If you don't meet the requirements, Xu Qi'an, then you must obediently go and cleanse your body!"

Yang Wuji snorted coldly, then flicked his sleeve and vanished into the air.

Xu Qi'an watched Yang Wuji's departing figure, unconsciously touched his nose, and secretly sighed with emotion.

He knew that Yang Wuji was definitely doing it for his own good. How could he not know?

But he also had his own path to walk.

Immediately after, Xu Qi'an followed the location indicated by the token and headed to his own immortal's cave.
