Chapter 384: Chapter 353: The Saint Heir Position, Who Else but Me?!
"Everyone, don’t say that. Since we’ve joined the Ziwei Chen Family, we’re fellow disciples and should support each other. There’s no need to talk about who’s taking care of whom."
Wang Hao said with a light chuckle.
"Oh! Senior Brother Wang, that’s where you’re wrong. Although we’re fellow disciples, there are still differences in rank and status!"
"That’s right, that’s right. We just entered as ordinary disciples, but you came in as a True Disciple of a peak. How can that be the same?"
"Among all of us new disciples, Senior Brother Wang’s status is the most esteemed, and his future the brightest!"
A number of the new disciples quickly chimed in with smiles.
Wang Hao could pretend to be modest with such words, but those disciples couldn’t be foolish enough to genuinely accept it.
"Hmph, a bunch of bootlickers!"
Among the crowd, there were also those who disdained such behavior, quietly sneering and shaking their heads.
"Brother, from now on, we’ll be fighting side by side."
A similarly tall and handsome young man stepped forward, clasping his hands and smiling at Wang Hao.
"Ah, it’s Yi!"
Wang Hao turned his head to glance at the young man approaching him and said with a slight smile:
"We’re from the same family, it’s all good."
In truth, he held some contempt for Wang Yi, but now Wang Yi’s father, his fourth uncle, was quite influential, so it wouldn’t do to express his disdain and strain their relationship too much.
"It’s just a pity that although the three of us brothers pledged into the Ziwei Chen Family together, Wang Lin was eliminated. Otherwise, it would have been a great tale if all three of us joined the Ziwei Chen Family." Wang Yi sighed.
Wang Hao responded indifferently, "Everyone has their destiny. Wang Lin was born with a poor fate and cannot be forced."
Wang Yi chuckled and said, "Indeed, our fathers are figures of some influence even in the mortal world, but Wang Lin’s parents are impoverished tenant farmers. How can they compare to us?"
Time slowly passed.
The initiation ceremony officially commenced.
However, those who first took the stage were not the new disciples but the ten great talents!
Four Great Evils, Thousand Bat Master, and the like!
In this recruitment of talents, many came, but under Chen Zhixing’s various conditions, only these ten remained, having been implanted with the Curse Seal and joined the Ziwei Chen Family.
Even though the number was small, these ten were all outstanding figures in the True Self Realm, with cultivations reaching the True Self Ninth Realm. Particularly, Evil Tongtian, the leader of the Four Great Evils, and people like Thousand Bat Master and Blood Demon True Monarch had one foot in the Nirvana Realm!
It seems that under the Pure Land Dojo of the Ziwei Chen Family, it wouldn’t be long before someone steps into the Nirvana Realm!
These ten were dispersed and assigned into the Nine Peaks, taking the role of elders.
This brought the number of True Self Realm elders in the Ziwei Chen Family to a terrifying 126!
The Nine Peaks of Ziwei had an average of 14 True Self Realm elders per peak!
Of course.
These True Self Realm elders didn’t all remain in the Nine Peaks. Some guarded spiritual ore and ancient ruins outside, some sat in affiliated forces, and others joined the Dark Division to gather intelligence or infiltrate other sects, and so on.
But even so.
Nearly every peak had six True Self Realm elders!
Among them, excluding the Seventh Peak (Artifact Peak), Eighth Peak (Array Peak), and Ninth Peak (Pill Peak), the other six peaks’ Peak Masters were at the True Self Peak Great Perfection!
As for those who reached the Nirvana Realm like Dugu Ni and Chen Daoshan, they naturally did not serve in the Nine Peaks but were elders on the main peak, holding positions equal to the Nine Peaks Peak Masters!
The Netherworld Elders continued to command the Dark Division!
At the same time.
The Ziwei Chen Family abolished the distinction between patriarchal elders and elders, unifying the title to just "Elder"!
Time slowly passed, and as each appointment was completed, the initiation ceremony officially began.
Dozens of disciples were assigned to the Nine Peaks according to their talents and joined various elders.
Among them, the one with the highest status was naturally Wang Hao, who was accepted as a True Disciple by Qingxuan, the Peak Master of the Fifth Peak!
"Congratulations, congratulations, Senior Brother Wang will surely become a pillar of the Ziwei Chen Family in the future!"
"Haha, maybe the next Peak Master of the Fifth Peak will be you, Senior Brother Wang!"
"Senior Brother Wang is about to soar to new heights, making us all envious!"
The new disciples all congratulated him with envious smiles.
The joy on Wang Hao’s face was undeniable, just as he was about to respond.
"In addition, an announcement will be made during this initiation ceremony!"
"Two individuals will be taken as direct disciples by the Patriarch, and they will also become the first Ziwei Double Saint Sons of the Ziwei Chen Family!"
At the front of the mountain gate plaza, from the high platform, Chen Tianchen, the Master of the Third Peak and the Department Head of the Bright Division, announced in a deep voice.
"What? The Patriarch personally taking disciples?"
"Hiss—! Directly becoming a Ziwei Saint Son?"
In an instant, the mountain gate plaza was abuzz, with dozens of new disciples deeply shaken.
Most of these new disciples came from good families and were influential figures in the mortal world, with some families even enshrining cultivators as Honored Guest Elders.
Therefore, they weren’t entirely ignorant of the cultivation world and knew some common facts about it.
The Master of the Ziwei Star, Chen Zhixing, was a peerless prodigy never before seen in eternity!
Breaking all myths of ancient and modern times, with talents spanning the eternity!
Unprecedented and unmatched, never seen before in all time!
Creating an invincible legend of a golden age with his own strength!
Very likely to become a favorite of the Great Longevity Era in the future!
Currently the most dazzling sun in the East Profound Domain!
It can be said.
If someone could become Chen Zhixing’s disciple, it would be a true leap to the heavens, immediately becoming the most esteemed under the Three Great Immortal Tao Lineages!
All of a sudden.
The entire mountain gate plaza became utterly frenzied among the dozens of new disciples!
"Who will be the Patriarch’s direct disciple?"
"If only I could become the Patriarch’s disciple, it would be worth dying the next day!"
"Being the Patriarch’s direct disciple not only elevates oneself but also instantly uplifts one’s family!"
The new disciples watched the high platform with scorching eyes.
Wang Hao clenched his fists, his eyes filled with extreme joy.
Among the new disciples, he had the highest talent!
"Who else but me should be the Saint Heir?!"
Wang Hao roared in his heart with excitement.
On the high platform.
"Little one."
Chen Tianchen turned his head, looking at the little one walking unsteadily up the platform with a powdery and jade-like appearance.
"Hee hee!"
The little one, Shi Huang, smiled at the new disciples below, his big dark eyes crinkling into crescent shapes.
"Aren’t you going to greet the Ziwei Saint Son quickly?"
On the high platform, Chen Tianchen frowned and said.
The new disciples looked at each other, then reverently bowed and spoke in unison:
"Greetings to the Holy Son!"
The little one Shi Huang waved his chubby hands, then patted his chest, indicating that he would protect them in the future!
"Next, there is another Saint Heir of the Ziwei Chen Family who is also the Patriarch’s first disciple!"
Chen Tianchen announced with a loud smile.
In an instant.
All the new disciples clenched their fists, with Wang Hao’s eyes filled with intense joy.
Among this new group of disciples, his talent was the highest!
"Who else but me should be the Saint Heir?!"
Wang Hao cried out in his heart with eager anticipation.
