Chapter 807 - 897 All Core Disciples’ Meeting
Upon just entering the Daoist Alliance, Chen Mo certainly couldn’t stay for just two days before leaving.
He needed to get slightly familiar with the elders and both new and old disciples of the Daoist Alliance before thinking of leaving.
Zuoqiu Yiren first led Chen Mo and Xiao Jiu to a hall.
Before they arrived, there were already dozens of people in the hall.
According to Zuoqiu Yiren, these were all the core disciples still in the Daoist Alliance who hadn’t graduated.
It seemed they already knew about Chen Mo, and after his arrival, the hall instantly became lively.
"Is he Chen Mo, the new disciple found to have the Three Immortal Body during the Daoist Alliance’s assessment this time?"
"Yes, that’s him. The girl beside him is called Xiao Jiu, she possesses the Divine Fox Sacred Body, from the Qingqiu Spirit Fox Race, and is his servant."
"He could defeat the half-step divinity transformation Xiao Qingtian in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. The Three Immortal Body is really that powerful."
"That’s not all. I heard two of his immortal bodies aren’t fully activated yet. If they are, his strength would likely be even greater."
"Junior Brother Xiao hit a hard wall with this one. I heard even the Supreme Elder was alerted by him."
"Junior Brother Luo, aren’t you also interested in Junior Sister Zhao? Now that a rival has appeared, what do you plan to do?"
"I’m interested, but I’ll pursue her by normal means. I don’t plan to duel him like Junior Brother Xiao did."
"I guess you’re afraid of losing face if you lose, right?"
"Haha..."
Everyone started transmitting their voices, either discussing or bantering.
Chen Mo also scanned them with his gaze. Despite not knowing their ages, they all appeared youthful, full of spirit, displaying vigor and confidence.
Xiao Qingtian was among them.
Chen Mo raised an eyebrow, realizing they were all core disciples, suggesting they possessed immortal bodies and were evidently talented disciples of their respective branches before entering the Daoist Alliance.
"Only the ten Immortal Dao sects could gather so many disciples with immortal bodies."
As Chen Mo and Xiao Jiu arrived, a figure suddenly appeared in the middle of the hall; he was Jiang Yuansheng, the Daoist Alliance’s chief elder. A Mahayana Realm cultivator, his strength was comparable to the thirty-six sect leaders, responsible for all the core disciples.
"Gathering you here today is to let you get to know each other. From now on, you’re fellow disciples and should help each other, advance together, supporting the Daoist Alliance through generations, and eliminating evil while upholding the Dao."
The Daoist Alliance was established not only to uphold the Daoism’s orthodoxy but also to eliminate the evil cultivators led by the Demon Sect and maintain peace in Primordial Heaven.
Jiang Yuansheng asked everyone to introduce themselves.
Faced with Chen Mo and his Three Immortal Body, even those who didn’t want to befriend him didn’t want to become enemies either. Most proactively started conversing with Chen Mo.
"I am Luo Yuan from the Shangqing Sect, a disciple of the fifteen thousand eight hundred seventy-first generation in the Daoist Alliance..."
Luo Yuan approached Chen Mo, smiled, and clasped his fists, saying, "Junior Brother Chen, going forward, we are fellow disciples and can look out for each other."
After saying that, he slightly tilted his head, bowing to Zuoqiu Yiren, and said, "Senior Sister Zuoqiu, long time no see."
Luo Yuan is a disciple of the fifteen thousand eight hundred seventy-first generation.
And Zuoqiu Yiren is a disciple of the fifteen thousand seven hundred twenty-third generation.
When Zuoqiu Yiren was still in the Daoist Alliance, Luo Yuan was already assigned to the alliance.
However, at that time, Zuoqiu Yiren was in the early stage of the Void Realm, while Luo Yuan was only in the Nascent Soul.
The two weren’t very familiar, so Zuoqiu Yiren didn’t have much of an impression of Luo Yuan. However, he proactively showed goodwill toward her, and Zuoqiu Yiren smiled and nodded, saying, "Junior Brother Luo, but henceforth, I am the elder of the Daoist Alliance, and you must address me as Elder Zuoqiu."
"Senior Sister Zuoqiu... No, Elder Zuoqiu, you’ve become the Guardian Elder." For some reason, hearing this, Luo Yuan couldn’t help but feel happy, with a flash of admiration in his eyes.
Being called a fairy, Zuoqiu Yiren’s beauty needs no explanation. When the young generation of the nine Immortal Dao sects competed during the friendship match, Zuoqiu Yiren captured the disciples’ admiration, and every male disciple in the Daoist Alliance admired her.
However, she was cold by nature and very strong then. No disciples from the same generation in the Daoist Alliance were her match, so although they admired her, no one dared to pursue her directly.
After all, only talents entered the Daoist Alliance.
To pursue someone, you didn’t need to be stronger, but you should at least match their pace.
And since they couldn’t reach that, they had no qualifications to pursue.
Later, due to Master Zixuan’s first disciple issue, Zuoqiu Yiren chose not to continue her cultivation, graduating and leaving the Daoist Alliance, returning to the Shenxiao Sect.
Upon learning the news, Luo Yuan couldn’t sleep for days.
To him, Zuoqiu Yiren had always been the white moonlight in his heart.
Zuoqiu Yiren nodded again, glanced at Chen Mo, but didn’t say more to Luo Yuan.
Realizing Zuoqiu Yiren became a Guardian Elder because of Chen Mo, Luo Yuan’s expression toward Chen Mo became increasingly friendly, inviting him to visit his abode frequently.
As a man, Chen Mo easily saw through Luo Yuan’s little intentions, feeling vaguely displeased, yet maintaining a smiling face as he nodded.
Afterward, Luo Yuan stood by Zuoqiu Yiren’s side.
Zuoqiu Yiren frowned slightly. However, since he was merely standing nearby, she said nothing.
"I am Lan He, a disciple of the Zhengyi Sect, the fifteen thousand eight hundred seventy-generation disciple of the Daoist Alliance." Lan He smiled and clasped his fists, continuing, "Lan Chengting is my nephew. If he offended Junior Brother Chen during the assessment, I hope you don’t mind."
"It’s nothing, not offensive at all," Chen Mo replied with a smile.
Subsequently, all the core disciples greeted Chen Mo one by one.
"Longyi Sect, Mu Qianqian." A fiery red silhouette snapped its fingers, appearing before Chen Mo.
Mu Qianqian, dressed in red, stood half a head taller than Chen Mo, definitely exceeding two meters in height.
Her skin like snow, features like a painting, with a slender waist and long legs extremely eye-catching, and notably prominent hips, though her front was quite flat, her waist encircled by a soft sword, like a venomous snake among flowers.
"I’m a disciple of the fifteen thousand eight hundred eighty-nine generation, currently in the middle stage of Divinity Transformation. Which abode do you live in? We can often spar." Mu Qianqian said, arms crossed, to Chen Mo.
"Junior Brother Chen, do not agree. Though she looks beautiful, she’s incredibly combative. If you agree, she’ll keep pestering you to fight, and it will be quite a headache. Plus, her sect leader at Longyi Sect is her elder. So even if you suffer, you can’t complain," Luo Yuan transmitted.
Chen Mo was stunned, then laughed, saying, "Sister Mu, hello. I am not fond of combat nor fighting to win, so let’s forget about sparring."
He feared trouble most.
Hearing this, Mu Qianqian’s smile vanished, curling her lips and saying "Boring" before leaving the hall.
