Chapter 56 - Wuzong (Seeking Collection)
Lin Yuan gazed afar, vaguely able to distinguish the appearance of those Wu Zong disciples. Those disciples curiously glanced at Lin Yuan a few times before leaving.
This time, a total of 98 warriors joined Wu Zong, which also means that ten will leave in a year.
"Unexpectedly, the competition for Wu Zong is so fierce." Lin Yuan sighed in his heart.
Just now, Lin Yuan felt that among these outer disciples, almost all of them were above the Seventh Realm of Later Heaven, and even a few young men had strength comparable to Lin Yuan's. It was just unknown whether Lin Yuan could defeat them in battle.
Although Lin Yuan was shocked in his heart, he was even more looking forward to it. Wasn't this what he wanted? The stronger the Wu Zong, the greater his own progress would be. Only then would he have the strength to find his parents and reach the pinnacle of this world.
Waited for a moment.
A figure appeared in the distance, it was the few people behind the blue-clothed youth from just now. Their strength was also at the Ninth Heaven Realm, comparable to Lin Yuan's.
"Hello, senior brother," Lin Yuan said with a smile. The outer door disciple immediately cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, congratulations. My name is Ouyang Xiū, you can call me Senior Brother Ouyang."
"Thank you, Senior Ou Yang." Lin Yuan said with a smile. As for Wu Zong's outer sect disciple and having the same realm as himself, Lin Yuan didn't want to offend anyone just after entering the sect.
"Junior brother, you're a sensation this time. Among the entire Wu Zong's test, only four post-heavenly nine-realm boundary warriors emerged. This time, even some of the elders within the sect are considering taking on disciples. Lin junior brother must seize this opportunity." The black-robed youth said with a smile.
"Thanks for reminding me, Brother Ouyang. At that time, I will definitely not forget your promotion." Lin Yuan knew what the young man wanted to say and didn't expose it.
"Then, young brother, come with me. Your resting place has been prepared. You will be in the South Wing, under the jurisdiction of Master Song." The youth's smile grew even brighter upon hearing Lin Yuan say this.
For these old disciples of the outer sect, their lifelong realm may be just that. If they want to make a further breakthrough, it's not an easy task, unless they are exceptionally talented or have some kind of elixir.
Lin Yuan didn't say anything else and followed him towards the Outer Gate Disciples' South Courtyard.
In fact, this puppet array is not far from the outer gate disciples' residence, after all, this is already the territory of the Wu Zong.
Ouyang Xiu arranged Lin Yuan's affairs and then left without staying for long, only saying that if there were any problems in the future, he could ask him.
As for where Lin Yuan lived, Lin Yuan didn't have much to pick from. The place he used to live in was countless times more broken than this one. What made Lin Yuan happy was that the location here was exactly what Lin Yuan needed - few people, quiet, and very suitable for Lin Yuan's cultivation.
"I did it! I finally became a disciple of Wu Zong!" Lin Yuan's eyes were filled with excitement, "If my parents knew, they would definitely be very happy."
"Yes." Ji Ning muttered to himself, his eyes drifting off into the distance.
If his own mother knew that he had become Wu Zong's disciple, she would definitely be very happy.
Father, mother...
You watch, I Lin Yuan will definitely find you, will definitely make a name for myself in every corner of the Hundred Martial World, and become the pinnacle existence among them. Definitely will!
Lin Yuan's heart was filled with fighting spirit and his own inner expectations.
He didn't believe his parents would abandon him.
"Haha." Along with the laughter, Lin Yuan's figure suddenly drew an arc and instantly arrived at the rooftop. He then sat down cross-legged. The heavenly energy here was obviously much thicker than what Lin Yuan had absorbed in Lin Family Village. Meditating here was also the best.
Wu Zong, conference hall.
"This year, I, Wu Zong, have only accepted ninety-eight disciples." An old man sitting in the conference hall said, he was at least over fifty years old, but his body emitted a terrifying aura.
"Song Yuanzhu can't say that, this time the disciples we've recruited may be fewer in number than usual, but overall their strength is many times stronger than before." said a black-haired middle-aged man beside him.
"That's also true. This time the disciples we've recruited are indeed stronger than before, with four of them already at the Nine Heavens Realm, which was previously unheard of."
"Hmph, those who can join our Wu Zong are truly geniuses. These geniuses are very confident and when they want to join a sect, their first choice will be us, Wu Zong. So we also need such talents." A man beside Song Yuanzhu said. "In all these years, something like this has never happened before, it's also the Sect Master's intention. Unfortunately, the Sect Master is busy and can't attend this test, otherwise he would be very happy."
"By the way, Song Yuanzhu, this time your Southern Courtyard has a 16-year-old prodigy named Lin Yuan. I heard that on his first day in Fenglin County, he defeated Zhao family's young master, quite arrogant." said an elder sitting opposite to Song Laolong.
"Haha, Elder Sun, but I heard that your Northern Courtyard's Sun Shiren is from your Sun family. It seems like last month he directly annihilated a mountain stronghold." Song Long raised an eyebrow and retorted.
"Hmph!" Sun Zhao Lao let out a cold snort and stopped talking.
"Everyone, let's not argue anymore. This time, Wu Zong is indeed much better than before, and the disciples recruited this time are mostly above the Seventh Realm of Later Heaven in terms of strength. This has greatly increased Wu Zong's strength." The middle-aged man sitting at the top suddenly spoke up.
"Also, I think you will all fight for your disciples, so this time, there are four young people in the post-heavenly nine-layer realm, and their strengths are about the same. Four academies, one person each, I believe you won't have any objections." The man continued to say.
"Yes, Master Wang." The people below saw the person above speaking and naturally didn't say much either. In their hearts, they still had a deep fear of the person above.
This Wang Zong is one of the two deputy Zong masters under Wu Zong, and his strength is said to be unfathomable, not something that ordinary people can speculate about.
At this time, Lin Yuan's residence.
The bright moonlight, along the vast sky, like silver frost, splashed on the ground, making the entire ground appear serene and peaceful.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on the rooftop, his eyes slightly closed, and in his mind, he carefully comprehended the incantation and route of the Xiantian Chapter Heart Method from the Taishang Yuanshi Scripture.
"It's indeed a mysterious and profound technique, worthy of being passed down by one's parents. I have no idea how many times more advanced it is compared to the techniques I've cultivated before. Whether it's the method of absorbing true essence or the route of circulating true essence, they are all much more intricate and abstruse..."
Lin Yuan followed the usual method guided by the Taishang Yuanshi Scripture, absorbing the true yuan of heaven and earth, and impacting the acupoints.
Almost in the instant of a thought, a warmth that surpassed several times before was produced in the Dan Tian.
"It's indeed much faster than before." Lin Yuan praised. On the one hand, the heavenly true yuan in the Wu Zong was thicker than that of Linjiazhuang, and on the other hand, Lin Yuan's kung fu was also advanced.
In the blink of an eye, the true yuan in Lin Yuan's dantian had expanded to its limit, and the Ren pulse was also completely covered by a pale blue true yuan. There wasn't even a tiny bit of space left.
Lin Yuan ran the Heart Method, slowly rotating the True Origin, continuously releasing strands of pale blue mist-like True Origin, impacting his own acupoints.
The moonlight shone on his body, sprinkling a layer of silver frost, a holy breath, slowly spreading across this elegant and handsome face.
