516: Hall of No Light

After Influencing this entire group of experts, Chen De gained over 300 Attribute Points directly.

Adding the remaining 100 Attribute Points from before, he dumped them all into the Rhyme of Law, successfully bringing it to 35%.

Having just broken through to the Demon Venerable Realm Third Transformation, the progress of the Rhyme of Law was already halfway complete.

As expected, doing good deeds is the fastest shortcut to improving one's cultivation.

After resolving matters here, Chen De officially set off toward his destination: the center of the Wuguang Domain.

...

This time, Ancestor Wuguang taking on disciples was an event that made the entire Wuguang Cluster Domain boil with excitement.

The reason was simple: his criteria for taking on disciples were not limited to Wuguang Hall alone.

Instead, anyone under three million years old with a cultivation of Heavenly Imperial Realm or above could participate.

No restrictions on region, faction, or race.

Thus, a vast number of young experts surged toward this place.

This included some Immortal Law Realm experts who, in order to seek a good path of development for their descendants and because it held significant benefits for themselves, also came.

Thus, they personally brought their sons, grandsons, and so on, to participate in Ancestor Wuguang's disciple selection.

The few that Chen De occasionally encountered on the road were also Influenced by him in passing.

However, the Wuguang Domain was so vast and the routes so complex that it wasn't easy to run into them.

He could only say that he wouldn't let a single one he encountered get away.

At this moment, inside Wuguang Hall.

"Strange, why are there so many fewer people who rushed over to participate in the disciple selection than estimated?"

"Indeed. According to the original estimates, apart from those who couldn't get away, basically all of those we knew of should have come."

"Even some who usually keep a low profile have arrived, so why haven't those others come yet?"

"Could it be that the temptation of an Immortal Law Realm Four Transformations taking on disciples isn't as great as imagined?"

The Hall Master of Wuguang Hall nodded; what the Great Elder said wasn't without merit.

After all, Ancestor Wuguang was taking on disciples, but he wasn't taking anyone from his own faction, only outsiders. Why?

It was hard to rule out some shady dealings where only his own disciples could win.

Coming here was purely a waste of time, just to pad someone else's combat record and serve as a stepping stone.

Even if an outsider did win in the end, there were too many ways to deny it or make other excuses.

After all, verbal promises meant nothing; there was simply no guarantee.

That it could still attract so many people was truly because they were coming for the name of an Immortal Law Realm Four Transformations.

They all felt that an expert of this level shouldn't be playing games with them; there was simply no need.

The Great Elder of Wuguang Hall sighed softly. "This is indeed a troublesome matter. I don't know what the Ancestor is planning. With fewer people coming than expected, won't it displease him?"

"The current number of people is actually about the same; it isn't much worse than estimated, so it should be fine." The Hall Master of Wuguang Hall felt quite helpless about this.

The number of people who came was indeed fewer than expected; after all, he hadn't anticipated that the temptation of an Immortal Law Realm Four Transformations taking on disciples would be this small.

But he couldn't very well run out there himself and invite those people over one by one, could he?

Was it Ancestor Wuguang who wanted to take on disciples, or was Wuguang begging to take on disciples?

Yes, whether it was the Hall Master of Wuguang Hall or the Great Elder, neither knew the intention behind Ancestor Wuguang holding this disciple selection.

For instance, whether the other party was genuinely interested in taking on disciples or if there was some other ulterior motive, they were completely unaware.

Since Ancestor Wuguang had put out such a word, they could only follow the instructions.

What if he truly wanted to take on disciples? It would be bad if they messed it up.

What if it was just a pretext for some other objective? It would be bad if they messed that up through reckless actions.

As subordinates, if one couldn't fathom the intentions of their superiors, it seemed they could only obey.

After all, an obedient and loyal subordinate, even if a bit foolish, was still likable.

At the same time, when the other party assigned the task, they might have already considered that you wouldn't be able to fathom their intentions.

Giving you this task might simply mean they truly wanted it completed.

Regardless, up until now, the Hall Master of Wuguang Hall had not received any hints.

Since that was the case, they could only do a good job with the disciple selection.

Perhaps a normal progression was what Ancestor Wuguang wanted to see.

Thus, the Hall Master of Wuguang Hall pondered for a moment and instructed the Great Elder, "Hmm... also, issue another announcement."

"For all those who meet the participation criteria, set some additional standards. Those who reach these benchmarks, regardless of whether they become the Ancestor's disciple in the end, can receive rewards. If interested, they can also join our Wuguang Hall afterward."

"Very well, I will see to it." The Great Elder nodded and immediately set off to carry it out.

This was already a decent way to handle it; after all, as the leader of the Wuguang Cluster Domain, their attitude couldn't be too subservient.

After the Great Elder left, the Hall Master of Wuguang Hall continued to ponder.

What was the Ancestor's purpose? As an Immortal Law Realm expert, with the premise of having an immortal lifespan...

...so-called legacies and factions were actually just tools used to collect resources.

Truth be told, barring any accidents, they wouldn't die, so they didn't place much importance on legacies.

Ancestor Wuguang, as an Immortal Law Realm Four Transformations, understood this point much more deeply than he did.

Now that he suddenly said he wanted to take on disciples, it seemed suspicious no matter how one looked at it.

But if one were to ask what his purpose was, he couldn't guess at all.

Even though he was the only Immortal Law Realm Third Transformation in Wuguang Hall, he couldn't fathom the thoughts of someone at the Fourth Transformation.

In the Immortal Law Realm, the gap between each transformation was like a chasm!

Subsequently, he stopped overthinking it. Although he wanted to gain some benefits from it, if he couldn't even see through the situation, stepping in rashly was a very dangerous thing.

For now, the Hall Master of Wuguang Hall intended to wait and see.

...

Roaming through a large area, Chen De finally ran into a group of disciples from Wuguang Hall.

One of them was even at the Heavenly Dominion Realm Peak and had condensed a Ring of Law.

Chen De really had no interest in making a move against such a small fry.

It couldn't even bring him 0.1 Attribute Points; what was the point?

But in the end, Chen De chose to Influence him and merge him into his body.

Because after extracting his memories, he already knew that this young man of over two million years was named Zhang Wei, and he was also a participant in this disciple selection.

To put it bluntly, this type of person could only be used as a support.

He had a chance to participate mainly to act as an assistant to his boss, an Immortal Law Realm expert who was under five million years old.

Chen De chose him for this very reason; he intended to use this Zhang Wei to Influence his boss.

After all, as an Immortal Law Realm expert from Wuguang Hall, the success rate for becoming Ancestor Wuguang's disciple had to be higher than that of an outsider, right?

Of course, it wasn't just this Zhang Wei; Chen De gave all the disciples with him a one-stop service.

After all, as a Saint, no matter what, he couldn't play favorites or be unfair.

After the Influencing was finished, Chen De headed all the way to the center of the domain. As a Wuguang Hall disciple, he naturally had to head to Wuguang Hall.
