At this moment, Li Zhongyuan weighed the pros and cons in his heart. The enemies of the Shura Clan were too powerful; in that battle back then, even experts at the Immortal Lord level had fallen.

Now that he had awakened from the immortal star crystal, that group would certainly know immediately.

If he were to join Kunlun, he would be bringing this Karma upon this Senior. He did not wish to drag down someone who had just extended a helping hand to him.

Thoughts surged in his mind for several moments. Just as he was about to speak up and politely decline, Jiang Changge suddenly smiled.

The laughter was extremely faint, carrying a sense of understanding that saw through everything.

He looked at Li Zhongyuan, his tone calm yet hitting the nail on the head: "You are worried that the enemies of the Ashura Clan will come knocking, implicating me and implicating Kunlun."

Li Zhongyuan's figure stiffened slightly. The words that had just reached his lips were stuck in his throat; he couldn't manage to say a single one.

He raised his head to look at Jiang Changge, a flash of surprise in his eyes, along with the instinctive wariness of someone whose secrets had been seen through.

Jiang Changge did not give him a chance to explain. He raised his hand, pressed his index and middle fingers together, and tapped gently on the center of Li Zhongyuan's brow.

A gentle yet vast power gushed from his fingertips. Before Li Zhongyuan could react, it had already entered his brow and reached deep into his Sea of Consciousness.

Li Zhongyuan's whole body shuddered as images unfolded in his mind. He saw the scene of the Ashura Clan rebuilding its glory, and he also saw Jiang Changge's figure.

That figure in white stood there, radiating a power of heaven and earth, suppressing all living things.

All the images shattered and dissipated. Li Zhongyuan's body swayed slightly as he came back to his senses.

He remained silent for a long time, his dark red eyes churning with waves that could not be calmed for a long while.

Although the images from just a moment ago had dissipated, the feeling of reality, so tangible he could almost touch it, still lingered in his mind.

He saw the cities of the Ashura Clan standing once again between heaven and earth; he saw his clansmen returning, the clan flags rising, and their glory being rebuilt.

He saw himself standing upon an altar, surrounded by the ancient and domineering Origin power of the Shura Clan.

He also saw Jiang Changge's figure, standing in the Void Realm, with the power of heaven and earth flowing around him, suppressing all living things.

He had only ever heard of this kind of power in the records of the clan's ancient texts.

The Law of Time and Space—the great power to peer into the River of Time.

He knew clearly that this was not an illusion, nor was it deceit; he had been truly brought into the River of Time and taken to a certain node in the future.

He knew even more clearly what this ability signified; even when the Ashura Clan was at its peak, the most top-tier mighty figures in the clan might not have been able to achieve this.

Yet the man in white before him, who had just taken him as a Disciple, had done it.

His hands were still trembling slightly, not out of fear, but because the contents of those images had allowed him to see, in just a few moments, a path he had originally thought was impossible to walk.

Li Zhongyuan slowly raised his head. The emotions churning in his eyes finally settled, replaced by an unprecedented sense of determination.

He stepped back half a pace, knelt down on both knees again on the bluestone ground by the pool, and kowtowed deeply, his forehead almost touching the cold bluestone.

"Disciple Li Zhongyuan is willing to take Senior as Revered Master. From this day forward, this Disciple will surely Cultivate with all his might, not failing Revered Master's high expectations, and not failing the Bloodline of the Shura Clan."

This time, his voice was no longer hoarse, no longer hesitant, but clear and solemn, with every word landing heavily on the ground.

Jiang Changge looked at Li Zhongyuan kneeling before him, a faint smile appearing on his face.

That smile held gratification, as well as a subtle emotion that only he understood: he had finally taken on another Disciple.

He naturally knew clearly how he had achieved that display of the Law of Time and Space just now.

Given his current cultivation level, even if the Creation Sutra was profound, it was far from the point of being able to peer into the River of Time or predict the future.

The scene just now was merely borrowing the power of the Kunlun Small World, using the entire heaven and earth as a medium to drive the Law of Time and Space, only then barely managing to send Li Zhongyuan's consciousness to the edge of the River of Time, allowing him to see those images.

Although those images were indeed the possible future he had deduced, to call it 'prediction' was still far from the truth.

However, he would naturally not say these words out loud.

Sometimes, a perfectly timed display is more persuasive than a thousand words of explanation.

Jiang Changge raised his hand in a gesture to help him up, his tone gentle yet carrying unquestionable certainty: "Get up. Since you have taken me as Revered Master, you are a person of Kunlun. As for the enemies of the Ashura Clan..."

He paused, his tone flat yet carrying a power that made one feel at ease, "If they come, Kunlun will simply take them on."

Li Zhongyuan stood up, said nothing more, and just stood quietly before Jiang Changge.

The edge in his eyes, which had been dormant for countless years, was lighting up again little by little.

Jiang Changge turned to the side, looked at Lin Yanzhou beside him, and beckoned to him: "Yanzhou, come over."

Lin Yanzhou had been standing quietly to the side since just a moment ago. Hearing Revered Master call him, he hurriedly walked forward and stood still in front of Li Zhongyuan.

He was half a head shorter than Li Zhongyuan and his build was slighter, but standing there, his back was straight and his gaze was clear and bright.

"This is your Second Senior Brother, Lin Yanzhou." Jiang Changge pointed at Lin Yanzhou and then looked at Li Zhongyuan.

"He entered the Sect earlier than you. Although he has not yet stepped into the Qi Refinement Stage, his path in the future will not be inferior to anyone's."

Lin Yanzhou bowed to Li Zhongyuan with cupped hands and smiled: "Fourth Junior Brother, welcome to Kunlun."

His tone was sincere, without the slightest hint of timidity because the other party's cultivation was higher than his own.

Li Zhongyuan looked at the youth before him, whose cultivation was low but whose gaze was clear and upright. He was silent for a moment, then slightly lowered his head and returned the bow: "Second Senior Brother."

Jiang Changge nodded and added: "Above you, there is also a First Senior Brother, Lu Jinghan, and a Third Senior Brother, Zhou Tianchen. They are currently at the Cloud Sea Grand Ceremony."

"Kunlun's resources are sufficient for you to quickly recover your cultivation. As long as you can settle your heart to Cultivate, rebuilding the glory of the Shura Clan is not out of reach."

When Li Zhongyuan heard the four words 'resources are sufficient,' his gaze flickered slightly.

Although he had not seen Kunlun's foundation with his own eyes, judging from the Xuanqing Pool that allowed him to repair his dao foundation, as well as the power of heaven and earth that was enough to drive the Law of Time and Space just now, this Sect's foundation likely far exceeded his imagination.
