477: Chapter 477 Formal Disciple

"Mountain Elephant!"

With a heavy blow, Finch was sent flying. He flipped several times in the air before landing steadily.

"You passed."

Finch put away his spear and smiled.

Xiao Weiqing was startled. "Has it already been ten minutes?"

"Yes."

Finch nodded slightly.

"Xiao Qingzi, I knew you could do it."

Xue Yuan said happily.

"Congratulations on becoming a Formal Disciple."

Xiao Weiqing's expression shifted slightly, revealing a long-absent smile.

Suddenly, a surge of intense joy flooded his heart. How fortunate he was to become the Disciple of an Undying Realm powerhouse.

He had actually done it.

From the beginning, his mind had been focused on passing the assessment, but mostly to solve the problem of the world's Origin. He had subconsciously ignored the significance of being the Disciple of an Undying Realm powerhouse.

And the sole Disciple at that.

This was because the other three Disciples of this Undying Realm powerhouse had all died in battle.

"Xue Yuan, what is the teacher's name?"

"It's 'her', not 'him'." Xue Yuan frowned and corrected him. "As for the Master's name, you have to pass the Personal Disciple assessment before you can know it."

Xiao Weiqing had long since learned the Universal Language, and the two were currently communicating in it. In the Universal Language, the pronunciation for the masculine 'he' and the feminine 'she' were different.

"Ah?"

"The teacher... is a woman?"

Xiao Weiqing looked completely bewildered.

"Of course. Why? Do you discriminate against women?" Xue Yuan narrowed her eyes.

"No, no, no, I'm just very surprised."

Xiao Weiqing waved his hands in denial. He was merely shocked; whether this yet-to-be-met teacher was male or female didn't really matter.

Besides, he didn't want to be expelled right after joining the sect.

"Hmph~ I thought as much."

"Xue Yuan, now..."

"It's Queen Xue Yuan," Xue Yuan corrected. "Don't think that just because you've become a Formal Disciple, you can stop being respectful. I've been with the Master longer than any of her three Disciples."

"Yes, Queen Xue Yuan," Xiao Weiqing said helplessly.

"That's more like it."

"Let's go."

Xue Yuan walked forward gracefully, with Xiao Weiqing following closely behind.

After walking a few steps...

Their figures vanished, and a modern room appeared. The room was not small, with several long tables neatly arranged on both sides. Each table held items of various shapes and Materials.

"This room was also cut out from the Star Dome; it stores some less important things."

"Less important?"

"Is that a First-Grade Divine Body Treasure?"

Xiao Weiqing pointed to a corner of the room where several massive crystals stood. Each was over three meters tall, with an estimated volume exceeding fifty cubic meters. Xiao Weiqing couldn't imagine how many portions of First-Grade Divine Body Treasures that equated to.

Xue Yuan waved her hand. "Just Five Elements Profound Crystals, common stuff. Don't stare so wide-eyed, you look like you've never seen the world."

"Common stuff?"

Hearing Xue Yuan's words, Xiao Weiqing was somewhat shaken. On Blue Star for so many years, if they hadn't conquered the temple, who besides Xiao Weiqing would have ever seen a First-Grade Divine Body Treasure?

"What else would they be?"

Xiao Weiqing asked, "A First-Grade Divine Body is second only to a super class Divine Body. It shouldn't be called 'common stuff,' right?"

Xue Yuan gave Xiao Weiqing a strange look. "You don't think that super class Divine Bodies are the end of the line, do you?"

"There's more?"

"Of course. There are plenty of powerful Bloodline Physiques in the Universe. Powerhouses can cross the Universe with their physical bodies and traverse wormholes with ease."

Xiao Weiqing was a bit dazed. He could understand surviving in outer space; after all, he had previously seen an image of the Demon God sitting suspended on a meteorite.

As for crossing the Universe...

That was beyond his cognition. According to Newton's theories, what kind of speed would be required to escape a planet's gravity?

Let alone traversing wormholes.

"Xiao Qingzi, there's still much you don't know," Xue Yuan said, walking with light steps to the center of the room.

She reached out and tapped the air a few times.

A circular platform rose from the flat floor.

"Xiao Qingzi, come here."

Xiao Weiqing stepped forward.

Inside the platform's transparent cover, he saw a fist-sized stone, black as ink. At a single glance, one's entire mind felt as if it would be sucked in.

Xue Yuan produced a box from somewhere and placed the stone inside.

"This is a Seal Stone. It can solve the problem of your world's Origin." Xue Yuan handed the box to Xiao Weiqing.

"How do I use it?"

"Just open it. The Seal Stone will absorb the Origin Shackles."

Xiao Weiqing nodded, put the box away, then thought for a moment and asked, "Do I need to return this Seal Stone to you?"

Xue Yuan's eyes crinkled into a smile. "Xiao Qingzi, this Seal Stone is a one-time use item. It's useless once used. Are you trying to take advantage of even this small thing?"

"I was just asking, nothing else intended."

Xiao Weiqing curled his lip, not at all embarrassed at having his thoughts seen through by Xue Yuan.

Right now, he wished he could empty out this entire room.

"Stop looking and follow me."

"We're leaving already?"

Xiao Weiqing's feet were somewhat reluctant to move. Although he didn't recognize many of the things here, he was certain they were absolutely treasures. It made his heart itch with desire; how could he bear to just leave?

"If we don't leave, what do you want to do?"

"Queen Xue Yuan, now that I've become a Formal Disciple, shouldn't there be some benefits?"

Xue Yuan said with a beaming smile, "No."

"Why?"

"What if you accidentally perish before reaching the Star Lord Realm? Wouldn't my investment go down the drain?"

"The things Master left behind, though not many, are each incredibly precious. Unless you become a Personal Disciple, I cannot give them to you."

Hearing this...

Xiao Weiqing knew Xue Yuan had misunderstood and immediately said, "I'm not talking about the things the teacher left behind, but these."

Seeing Xiao Weiqing looking at the surrounding items with glowing eyes, Xue Yuan couldn't help but find it funny:

"These things? If you want them, just take them."

The items in this room were actually collected by the Master's eldest Disciple. As an Undying Realm powerhouse, the Master had no need for such things, so most of what was here was prepared for followers.

Xue Yuan understood when she saw Xiao Weiqing's expression. She had roamed the Universe with the Master, and her horizons were higher than even an average Dominator Realm's, so she naturally looked down on these things.

However, Xiao Weiqing was born in a Incubation Ground, and at the most remote edge of the Universe at that, so it was natural he hadn't seen these things.

It wasn't strange that he regarded them as precious treasures.

"Ahem~~ Then thank you, Queen Xue Yuan. I'll just take a little."

"Whatever, it doesn't matter if you take them all. These aren't important."

"Come on, follow me quickly."

Xue Yuan continued walking forward, while Xiao Weiqing glanced at the things in the room and muttered to himself, "I'll come back later and take all of you!"

The two moved forward and arrived at another room.

The room was not large, only about a thousand square meters, and it was empty except for a single statue before them.
