183: The Palace Master killed them instantly with a single finger?
"Su Jue, right?"
Qin Tian sized up the Infant in front of him, who was wearing an animal onesie.
A flash of surprise crossed his eyes.
"You are… even more special than I imagined."
"Special?"
Su Jue raised an eyebrow.
"In what way?"
"On you…"
Qin Tian paused.
"There are many secrets."
"For example…"
He pointed to Ling inside Su Jue's hood.
"This little girl."
Su Jue's heart tightened.
This old man… could he tell?
"Rest assured."
Qin Tian said with a smile.
"I was just speaking casually, I meant nothing else by it."
"Everyone has their own secrets; it's quite normal."
"I won't force you to reveal them."
Su Jue breathed a sigh of relief.
But he remained vigilant.
This old man could see through Ling's extraordinariness at a glance… his strength must be unfathomable!
"The Temple Master didn't call me here just to chat, right?"
Su Jue asked directly.
"Haha, straightforward!"
Qin Tian laughed heartily.
"I like your personality!"
"No beating around the bush, direct and to the point!"
"Good!"
He reached out and grabbed into the Void Realm.
A golden scroll appeared out of thin air and landed on the stone table.
"What is this?"
Su Jue asked.
"An invitation for a Core Disciple of the Cosmic Temple."
Qin Tian said.
"As long as you sign your name, you can become a Core Disciple of the Cosmic Temple."
"Enjoy top-tier resources and training!"
Core Disciple?
Su Jue's eyes lit up.
He remembered what Elizabeth had instructed.
The task for the seventh trial was to become a Core Disciple within one year!
He didn't expect that just after arriving at headquarters… someone would deliver it to him directly?
This is too simple, right?
It seems Mom's true intention was for me to use the Cosmic Temple's resources to become stronger…
"It's that easy?"
Su Jue looked at Qin Tian suspiciously.
"What are the conditions?"
"Haha, you saw through it after all."
Qin Tian didn't deny it.
"There is indeed a small condition."
"Let's hear it."
"It's very simple."
Qin Tian raised a finger.
"I want to see if you can take one move from me."
"Just one move."
"If you take it, you are a Core Disciple."
"If you can't take it…"
He paused.
"You will still be a Core Disciple."
"You'll just have to lie in bed for ten days or half a month."
Su Jue's mouth twitched.
What the hell… can I even refuse?
"Fine."
Su Jue nodded.
"Come on then."
Either way, I'll be a Core Disciple.
Whether I end up lying in bed or not doesn't matter.
"Very good!"
A flash of appreciation crossed Qin Tian's eyes.
"You have guts!"
"Then I won't hold back!"
As the words fell.
Qin Tian raised his right hand.
He pointed a finger!
It looked plain and unremarkable.
But Su Jue felt that the entire space had frozen under this one finger!
Time! Space! Law! Everything was locked by this one finger!
He couldn't even move!
"Damn!"
Su Jue's pupils constricted.
Is this old man playing for real?!
Just at this critical moment.
Ling, inside Su Jue's hood… moved.
The golden little figure opened its eyes.
Those pure golden eyes looked indifferently at Qin Tian.
"Noisy."
One word.
Qin Tian's finger, which was enough to annihilate stars, instantly dissipated!
Along with the freezing of the entire space, it was all dispelled!
Qin Tian's expression changed drastically.
"This…"
He stared fixedly at Ling, his eyes full of shock!
At that moment just now… he felt a power far beyond his cognition!
That power… was not Law! It was not energy! It was… Rule!
The supreme Rule that transcends everything!
"You…"
Qin Tian opened his mouth.
Wanting to say something.
But Ling had already closed its eyes again and continued to sleep.
Leaving only Qin Tian standing there, frozen in place.
After a long while.
He finally regained his senses.
His gaze towards Su Jue became extremely complex.
"This companion of yours…"
Qin Tian smiled bitterly.
"Is not simple at all."
"It's alright."
Su Jue breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Ling woke up.
Otherwise, he might have really been poked half to death by this old man's finger.
"Forget it, forget it."
Qin Tian waved his hand.
"I won't test you anymore."
"Take this invitation."
"From now on, you are a Core Disciple of the Cosmic Temple!"
After speaking, he waved his hand.
The golden scroll flew into Su Jue's hand.
Su Jue took it and looked.
【 Cosmic Temple Core Disciple Invitation 】
【 Holder: Su Jue 】
【 Authority: All resources of the Temple can be utilized! 】
【 Note: Core Disciples enjoy the highest treatment, but also need to bear corresponding responsibilities! 】
Good heavens.
It really is a Core Disciple position!
Su Jue put away the scroll with satisfaction.
"Thank you, Temple Master."
"No need to thank me."
Qin Tian waved his hand.
"With your talent, becoming a Core Disciple is only a matter of time."
"I just gave it to you early."
"Oh, right…"
He suddenly remembered something.
"How much do you know about the compass of destiny?"
Su Jue's heart stirred.
This old man really knows!
"Not much."
Su Jue said honestly.
"I only know that it can guide the way."
"Hmm…"
Qin Tian pondered for a moment.
"How about this, I'll give you a piece of advice."
"The compass of destiny has a total of nine fragments scattered throughout the Universe."
"If you want to collect them all…"
"You can go to the Temple's Mission Hall to take a look."
"There are many clues about the compass fragments there."
"However…"
He paused.
"Those missions are very dangerous."
"They often involve suppressing rebellions, killing evil gods, and the like."
"With your current strength, you might die if you go."
Su Jue raised an eyebrow.
"Then what does the Temple Master mean?"
"Wait."
Qin Tian said.
"At least wait until you have a Breakthrough to the King Realm, or even the Venerable Realm, before trying."
"Otherwise…"
"I don't want to see such a good seedling die prematurely."
Su Jue nodded.
This old man makes sense.
Although he can challenge those of higher levels now, he is ultimately only in the Divine Ability Realm.
If he really encounters any enemies in the Great Saint Realm or even the Saint King Realm… he would still have to call his parents.
"I understand."
Su Jue said.
"Then I shall take my leave?"
"Go on, go on."
Qin Tian waved his hand.
"Oh right, I have already arranged your accommodation."
"It's in the Core Disciple area, the environment is quite good."
"Thank you."
Su Jue carried Ling and turned to leave.
Capybara hurriedly followed.
It wished it could leave this ghost place immediately!
It was too damn scary!
After Su Jue walked away.
Qin Tian sat back down.
He watched the direction Su Jue left in, a flash of complexity in his eyes.
"The compass of destiny, the Dragon Clan Prince, and that mysterious little girl…"
"This kid really has quite a few secrets…"
"However…"
He smiled.
"I am looking forward to seeing how far you can grow."
"Perhaps… you really can break that prophecy?"
Core Disciple area.
This is the most core area of the Temple headquarters.
There are less than a hundred people in the entire area.
Every single one is a Prodigy who stood out from billions of Geniuses!
The weakest is in the King Realm!
And Su Jue… an Infant at the third level of the Divine Ability Realm.
Just moved in so brazenly!
