480: Ye Bufan becomes an apprentice

"Hehe, dispense with the formalities!"

Looking at the timid expression of little Leaf Not Ordinary, Jiang Chen said smilingly to Liu Shu.

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Liu Shu agreed, straightened up, pulled little Leaf Not Ordinary from behind her to stand in front of her, patted his head, and chuckled, "Little Fan, don't be scared. This is your Revered Master. He entrusted you to Aunt Liu's care. Hurry and kneel to perform the apprenticeship ceremony."

Hearing Liu Shu's words, little Leaf Not Ordinary looked at Jiang Chen, nodded obediently to Liu Shu, and said in a childish voice, "Okay, Aunt Liu, Not Ordinary will listen to Aunt Liu."

After speaking, little Leaf Not Ordinary knelt in the center of the Main Hall, kowtowed three times to Jiang Chen, and said, "Your Disciple, Leaf Not Ordinary, greets Revered Master!"

[Ding, successfully accepted a Rank Twelve Talent Disciple, rewarding one (Immortal Rank) legendary treasure chest]

As soon as little Leaf Not Ordinary finished the apprenticeship ceremony, the System's sound of the treasure chest arriving echoed in Jiang Chen's ear. A glittering golden (Immortal Rank) legendary treasure chest appeared in his System backpack.

"Mhm, rise."

Seeing that the (Immortal Rank) legendary treasure chest had arrived, Jiang Chen smiled, waved a burst of power, and helped little Leaf Not Ordinary stand up.

"Aunt Liu, Not Ordinary has finished the apprenticeship. Shall we go outside and play?"

As soon as little Leaf Not Ordinary stood up, he tugged on Liu Shu's sleeve corner, clamoring to go outside and play, completely ignoring Jiang Chen, his Revered Master.

"Not Ordinary, the Sect Master Lord hasn't dismissed you yet, so he must still have something to say. You can't be so impolite."

Looking at little Leaf Not Ordinary, whose mind was clearly no longer in the Main Hall, Liu Shu pinched his cheek and admonished him.

Since Jiang Chen hadn't dismissed them, he definitely still had something to discuss, and she couldn't take Leaf Not Ordinary out to play yet.

"Mhm mhm, Not Ordinary knows."

Little Leaf Not Ordinary nodded obediently, then asked Jiang Chen, who was sitting on the main seat, "Revered Master, do you still have something to say? Please hurry up and say it, I'm anxious to go outside and play."

Faced with little Leaf Not Ordinary's urging, Jiang Chen could only laugh helplessly, saying with resignation, "Alright, alright. After Revered Master imparts your Cultivation Technique, I'll let Aunt Liu take you out to play."

Having finished speaking, Jiang Chen immediately commanded the System, "System, open the (Immortal Rank) legendary treasure chest in the backpack!"

[Ding, currently opening the (Immortal Rank) legendary treasure chest for the Host]

[Ding, obtained one God Spirit Peak Summoning Card]

[Ding, obtained one Time Pagoda First Floor Unlock Card]

[Ding, obtained one Chaos Divine Art]

[Ding, obtained one chaos divine cauldron (The chaos divine cauldron is the supreme Divine Artifact of the Supreme Divine Realm and can suppress all heavens)]

[Ding, obtained 100 million Divine Source]

"Hoo, another Time Pagoda First Floor Unlock Card was opened. It looks like I need to adjust the Cultivation space for the Disciples."

Seeing that this (Immortal Rank) legendary treasure chest yielded another Time Pagoda First Floor Unlock Card, Jiang Chen couldn't help but mutter.

Currently, the Time Pagoda space has been unlocked up to the fifth floor, but the Outer Sect Disciples are still Cultivating on the first floor, leaving the other floors mostly vacant. Therefore, an Advancement Convention must be held among the Outer Sect Disciples as soon as possible, allowing these Disciples to rely on their own strength to Cultivate at higher levels. Otherwise, leaving them vacant is truly a waste.

Taking the Chaos Divine Art and the chaos divine cauldron out of the System backpack, Jiang Chen waved his hand, making the two items float in front of little Leaf Not Ordinary, saying, "Disciple, these are the Cultivation Technique and treasure that Revered Master selected for you. Keep them safe. When you are able to Cultivate, Revered Master will teach you how to Cultivate!"

"Mhm mhm, thank you, Revered Master!"

Little Leaf Not Ordinary answered in a childish voice, grabbed the two items in his hands, and immediately tugged on Liu Shu's sleeve corner, wanting to rush outside.

"Aunt Liu, let's hurry up! Hurry and go out to play!"

Little Leaf Not Ordinary pulled Liu Shu hard, trying to move her, but how could his small frame possibly pull Liu Shu?

"Not Ordinary, don't rush. Aunt Liu will give you a Storage Ring. After you put the Cultivation Technique and that cauldron inside, Aunt Liu will take you out to play."

Liu Shu took out a silver-white Space Ring from her storage space and slipped it onto little Leaf Not Ordinary's finger.

She then taught him how to recognize the owner, and after storing the Chaos Divine Art and the chaos divine cauldron into the Space Ring, she bowed to Jiang Chen and asked, "Sect Master, may I take Not Ordinary out to play now?"

"Mhm, go ahead. After playing for a while, take him to the Time Pagoda. Don't let him stay outside too long."

Jiang Chen waved his hand helplessly, signaling Liu Shu to take little Leaf Not Ordinary out to play.

After all, little Leaf Not Ordinary was only seven or eight years old, a curious age prone to play. As his Revered Master, he couldn't deprive his Disciple of his childhood.

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Liu Shu bowed in acceptance of the order, and then left the Main Hall with little Leaf Not Ordinary.

Seeing the two of them leave, Jiang Chen stopped resting with his eyes closed. Instead, he used the Time Pagoda First Floor Unlock Card in his backpack, unlocking the Time Pagoda's sixth floor.

He immediately instructed Li Big Saber, who was recruiting Disciples outside the Sect, to find an Elder to take over the recruitment, while he himself returned to Host the Outer Sect Disciple Advancement Convention.

After all, the Time Pagoda space had now unlocked six floors. If it wasn't utilized properly, it would truly be a waste of this treasure.

Following Jiang Chen's order, Li Big Saber immediately returned to the Qingtian Immortal Sect and went to the Time Pagoda to call Elder Zhao Da, who was Cultivating, out to take over the recruitment.

He, meanwhile, quickly drafted the advancement plan and notified the Disciples who had already joined the Sect to participate in the Advancement Convention.

While the Disciple Recruitment Convention and the Advancement Convention were underway at the Qingtian Immortal Sect.

Far away in the Demon Realm, the Demon Lord and the Nine Great Demon Emperors were receiving the empowerment of Divine Demon Power from the demon god statue.

"Haha, I feel my power multiplying! I'm getting stronger and stronger."

"Yes, our current strength is vastly different compared to before. If we encounter those five members of the Human Race again, we definitely won't be defeated so easily."

"Jie jie jie! Tremble, Human Race! When we finish enhancing our strength, it will be the time of your destruction."

The Demon Lord and the Nine Great Demon Emperors sat cross-legged beneath the Divine Demon Statue. Ten black pillars of light radiating terrifying Divine Demon Power surged out from the Divine Demon Statue and violently poured into the ten individuals.

As time passed, the aura of the Demon Lord and the Nine Great Emperors grew stronger and stronger. Even the space of the Demon Realm couldn't withstand the power of the Ten Demons and began to collapse and disintegrate.

Countless low-Rank Demon Race members were annihilated into nothingness by the power generated by the spatial collapse.

Half a year later.

When the strength of the Demon Lord and the Nine Great Demon Emperors was raised to the God Spirit Peak stage, the Divine Demon Power light pillars from the demon god statue also retracted into their bodies.

"Alright, your current strength is comparable to the God Spirit Peak of the God Race. You can completely crush those false gods in the Immortal Universe. When you enter the Immortal Universe again, just slaughter freely. This Demon God will help you shield the Immortal Dao Rules, preventing it from detecting your presence!"

A slightly weary voice came from within the demon god statue, giving instructions to the Demon Lord and the Nine Great Demon Emperors.

"Yes, Lord Demon God!"

The Demon Lord and the Nine Great Demon Emperors excitedly bowed to receive the order. As their voices faded, the demon god statue also fell back into the Demon Lord's hand, looking like an ordinary statue.

Putting away the demon god statue, the Demon Lord glanced at the Nine Great Demon Emperors, then said with a sinister laugh, "Everyone, you heard Lord Demon God's words. Since my strength has now increased, let us immediately attack the Immortal Universe and wipe away our past disgrace!!"

"Good! We will attack the Immortal Universe now, capture those five fellows, and torture them severely."

"Right, capture those five fellows! We can't let them die too easily. We must make their lives worse than death!"

Hearing the Demon Lord's words, the Nine Great Demon Emperors' eyes flickered with hatred, wishing they could immediately capture Piao Wuren and his five brothers and torture them severely.

"Mhm, since everyone agrees, let us depart the Demon Realm."

Seeing that all the Nine Great Demon Emperors agreed, the Demon Lord nodded in satisfaction. Then, along with the Nine Demons, he flew out of the Universe Barrier Rift of the Demon Realm and arrived next to the unhealed rift at the edge of the Immortal Universe.

At this moment, boundless low-Rank Demon Race members had already gathered next to the rift in the Immortal Universe.

Seeing the appearance of the Demon Lord and the Nine Great Demon Emperors, they all bowed and saluted, "Little Demons greet the Demon Lord and the Lords of the Demon Emperors!!"

"Mhm."

The Demon Lord and the Nine Great Demon Emperors responded lightly. Then the Demon Lord spoke, "Warriors of the Demon Race, Lord Demon God has granted us power. This time, when we attack the Immortal Universe, we will surely be able to flatten the Immortal Universe."

"Follow this Demon Lord and charge in!!"

After the Demon Lord finished speaking, he waved his hand, expanding the rift into the Immortal Universe again. Then, he and the Nine Great Demon Emperors took the lead and charged into the Immortal Universe.

The moment the Ten Demons charged into the Immortal Universe, the demon god statue on the Demon Lord's body surged out ten streams of power, wrapping the Ten Demons and shielding them from the Immortal Dao Rules' detection of foreign God Spirits, preventing the Immortal Dao Rules from taking action and annihilating the Ten Demons.

"Hiss, there are actually ten Demon Race members at the God Spirit Peak who have entered! We must quickly report to the Sect Master!"

Seeing the Demon Lord and the Nine Great Demon Emperors emitting auras no weaker than their own, Zhang Fugui and the three of them (including Yang Yu) retreated in shock, taking out their Communication Treasures to report the situation in the Wushi Immortal Realm to Jiang Chen.

"Reporting, Sect Master! The Demon Race has entered the Wushi Immortal Realm again. This time there are ten Demon Race members with God Spirit Peak strength. Please, Sect Master Lord, send support quickly!"

As soon as Zhang Fugui's message was sent, Jiang Chen, who was far away in the Qingtian Immortal Sect's Main Hall enjoying a shoulder massage from Liu Shu, instantly received the news.

"Heh, only ten Demon Race members with God Spirit strength?"

After listening to Zhang Fugui's report, Jiang Chen scoffed, stood up, and summoned Li Big Saber.

During this half year, the Qingtian Immortal Sect recruited nearly forty million Outer Sect Disciples. Relying on Rare Treasure Chests, he had already synthesized twelve God Spirit Peak Summoning Cards, making the number of God Spirits nearly double that of the Demon Race.

Moreover, Night Owl and the others, as well as a large number of summoned powerhouses, had all broken through to the Immortal Emperor Peak and converted their Immortal Essence into Divine Source. Their combat power was immeasurable.

Therefore, the ten God Spirit Demon Race members who had arrived were simply not worth mentioning in front of him.

"Your Subordinate, Li Big Saber, greets the Sect Master. May I ask what instructions the Sect Master has?"

As soon as Li Big Saber arrived in the center of the Main Hall, he immediately bowed to Jiang Chen and asked.

Facing Li Big Saber's question, Jiang Chen said lightly, "Big Saber, the Demon Race has entered the Immortal Universe again. Immediately issue an order for all Qingtian Guards Cultivating in the Time Pagoda, as well as Disciples who have reached the Immortal King Realm, to head to the Wushi Immortal Realm to fight the Demon Race!"

Although sending out just over ten God Spirit powerhouses and a few Direct Disciples like Night Owl with decent combat power would be enough to eliminate the invading Demon Race forces.

But as Disciples of the Qingtian Immortal Sect, they couldn't just blindly Cultivate in the Time Pagoda. They needed to go out and gain experience and undergo life-and-death battles.

"Yes, Sect Master! Your Subordinate will go and notify them now!"

Li Big Saber cupped his hands to receive the order, then quickly walked out of the Main Hall and ran towards the Time Pagoda.

Seeing Li Big Saber leave, Jiang Chen immediately spoke to the System and commanded, "System, help me use all thirteen God Spirit Peak Summoning Cards in my backpack!"

Since most of the God Spirit Summoning Cards were synthesized, he was too lazy to summon them immediately after synthesizing. Instead, he planned to summon them all at once when needed, saving trouble.

[Ding, currently summoning God Spirit Peak powerhouses for the Host...]

As the System's voice fell silent, a rift opened in the space of the Main Hall. Thirteen figures, male and female, radiating Divine Might, stepped out of the rift, came to the center of the Main Hall, knelt, and saluted.

"Your Subordinate, Wu Youkun!"

"Your Subordinate, Feng Hai!"

"Your Subordinate, Guan Qiao'er... greets the Sect Master!"

"Mhm, dispense with the formalities."

Jiang Chen spoke lightly. After the thirteen people stood up, he imprinted the coordinates of the Wushi Immortal Realm into Wu Youkun's mind, saying, "Youkun, these are the coordinates of an Immortal Realm. There is a large-scale invasion of foreign races there. After the Sect members have gathered, you will lead everyone to depart for this Immortal Realm and eliminate all those foreign races!"

The power to eliminate the Demon Race was now sufficient. As the Sect Master, he was too lazy to act personally. It was better to give the opportunity to the younger generation so they could gain experience by killing more enemies.

"Yes, Sect Master, your Subordinate will definitely complete the mission!"

"Your Subordinates take our leave!"

Wu Youkun bowed to receive the order. The rest of the God Spirit Peak powerhouses bowed to take their leave, and together with Wu Youkun, they respectfully exited the Main Hall and arrived at the Qingtian Immortal Sect Square, waiting quietly.

Under Li Big Saber's notification, Night Owl and the others inside the Time Pagoda, along with a large number of Qingtian Guards and Disciples of various Ranks, quickly gathered towards the Qingtian Immortal Sect Square.

Whenever a portion had gathered, Li Big Saber would take out a massive Void Battleship and have these people board it, waiting for the main force to depart.

Inside the Qingtian Immortal Sect, crowds surged and battleships hovered in the air.

The Blue-Robed Middle-aged Man and other Immortal Emperors outside the Qingtian Immortal Sect also received Li Big Saber's order, instructing them to gather all their forces and rush to the Wushi Immortal Realm to fight the Demon Race.

After all, fighting the Demon Race concerned the entire Immortal Universe. Although the Qingtian Immortal Sect's current power was formidable, they couldn't let the Qingtian Immortal Sect be the only one contributing effort.

"Quickly, pass on the notification! The Demon Race is invading the Wushi Immortal Realm! Have everyone who can be dispatched rush towards the Wushi Immortal Realm! This will be an unprecedented great war, and we must do our utmost to protect the Immortal Universe!!"

"Hey, hey! The Demon Race is invading! Pass on this Emperor's order: mobilize everyone in the Sect and rush to the Wushi Immortal Realm! We must defend the Immortal Universe to the death!"
