Invincible Over the World

After seeing Sun Shangyi refuse to take him as a disciple, Huang Xiaolong’s second choice was Bai Xuyang. Although Bai Xuyang did not oppose the Holy Alliance, he remained neutral, and Bai Xuyang possessed the Dragon Element Saint Veins and Dragon-type Holy Body.

Seeing that Huang Xiaolong had chosen him as the second option, Bai Xuyang wore the same troubled expression as Sun Shangyi: "Holy Son Huang Xiaolong, I have been dedicated to the Alchemy Dao, constantly traveling to collect spiritual medicine materials, so I don’t spend much time at the Holy Sect Headquarters. Therefore, I don’t really have the time to teach you. I think you should consider apprenticing under another elder!"

All this talk of dedicating oneself to the Alchemy Dao and traveling was nothing but an excuse and a pretext.

Even if one were dedicated to the Alchemy Dao or traveling, could one not take Huang Xiaolong along?

Seeing Bai Xuyang also reject Huang Xiaolong, Li Wen, fearing Huang Xiaolong would lose face, turned to elder Chen Shiming beside him and said, "Brother Shi Ming, your cultivation technique, the Heavenly Dragon Technique, perhaps you could—"

However, before Li Wen could finish speaking, Chen Shiming quickly interrupted, "Brother Li Wen, I have already taken three Holy Sons as disciples, and I recently obtained an Ancient Saint Array formation that requires my dedicated research. I’ve truly no energy left to teach another disciple."

This was merely another excuse.

Even while studying the Ancient Saint Array, he could allow Huang Xiaolong to watch on the side and occasionally offer guidance.

Moreover, even if he had no time, his three disciples could teach Huang Xiaolong on his behalf.

For Sun Shangyi, Bai Xuyang, and Chen Shiming to all reject taking on Huang Xiaolong as a disciple was unprecedented in the Holy Sect. This was the first time such a thing had occurred.

Ordinarily, when a new Holy Son chooses a master, it’s a seamless process, and elders typically won’t refuse.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong rejected by Sun Shangyi, Bai Xuyang, and Chen Shiming one after the other, even Yang Jingzhi, the Main Hall Master accompanying Huang Xiaolong, felt awkward and embarrassed.

Seeing Chen Shiming refused, Li Wen turned to Song Yi. Although Song Yi was female and her cultivation skills weren’t suitable for Huang Xiaolong, having an elder to guide him was better than none.

However, before Li Wen could speak, Song Yi shook her head and said, "Brother Li Wen, you know I never take male disciples."

Li Wen’s face was one of awkwardness and speechlessness.

"Enough, Elder Li Wen." At this moment, Huang Xiaolong spoke, "It’s unnecessary, I won’t take a master now."

Hearing Huang Xiaolong voluntarily say he wouldn’t take a master, the other elders all breathed a sigh of relief, worried that Huang Xiaolong might choose them next, forcing them to come up with excuses and pretexts.

Thankfully, there was no need for excuses and pretexts now.

Huang Xiaolong didn’t say much else, cupped his hands at Li Wen and the others, and then left the Main Hall.

Main Hall Master Yang Jingzhi, seeing this, also quickly bowed to Li Wen and the others, then hurried to follow Huang Xiaolong.

The few elders, including Xu Jun, who supported the Holy Alliance and Jiang Tian, felt inwardly delighted seeing that no elder was willing to take Huang Xiaolong as a disciple and that Huang Xiaolong left the Main Hall in disgrace. Their hearts filled with satisfaction.

Soon after Huang Xiaolong left the Main Hall, Jiang Tian and others heard about Huang Xiaolong’s failure to find a master.

"Haha, this Huang Xiaolong has really set another record. As a new Holy Son, not a single elder was willing to take him as a disciple!" Saint Heir Zheng Yongjia, whose eyes glowed with red flames, couldn’t help but burst into laughter upon hearing the news, his laughter echoing in the Great Hall.

It had been a long time since he had been so happy.

"For a worthless Holy Son like him, it would be surprising if an elder took him as a disciple." Wu Shi, who was surrounded by purple light, also laughed loudly: "Moreover, this Huang Xiaolong is soon to die on the Holy Platform. No one wants to take in such a worthless and short-lived disciple!"

Huang Zhouping laughed: "I heard that when Huang Xiaolong left the Main Hall, he looked as though he were about to die, so much so that I almost don’t have the heart to kill him on the Holy Platform!"

Jiang Tian laughed: "In that case, just don’t kill him, simply strip him of his Enlightenment Saint Realm, Holy Veins, and Holy Body. Consider it pity for a worthless soul."

If Huang Xiaolong’s Enlightenment Saint Realm, Holy Veins, and Holy Body were truly destroyed, it would be even more cruel than killing him.

Huang Zhouping laughed: "Following Senior Brother Jiang Tian’s Holy Order, I won’t kill him then!"

The Holy Alliance’s Holy Sons laughed again.

"In that case, let’s halt the plan for the new disciples’ trial." Jiang Tian said: "We can deal with Huang Xiaolong on the Holy Platform anyway, no need to exert extra effort or cause additional complications with the trial."

"Understood, Senior Brother Jiang Tian!"

...

It wasn’t long before the news that no elder was willing to take Huang Xiaolong as a disciple spread, along with the news of Huang Xiaolong’s life-and-death battle with Huang Zhouping on the Holy Platform.

The shock among the hundred thousand disciples of the Holy Sect was immense.

"Have you heard? The new Holy Son, Huang Xiaolong, couldn’t even find an elder willing to accept him as a disciple!"

"This Huang Xiaolong is practically courting death, daring to challenge the older Holy Son Huang Zhouping on the Holy Platform and signing a life-and-death battle contract!"

"Huang Xiaolong truly has set a few records: he’s the first Holy Son with no elder willing to accept him, the first to fall within two years of joining, and the first to die at the hands of his own in the Supreme Realm!"

The Holy Sect disciples discussed animatedly.

Despite the Biluo Dynasty producing only one Holy Sect disciple every hundreds of millions of years, there are over ten continents and more than seven hundred dynasties in the Holy Land, with a heritage spanning billions of years. As a result, the Holy Sect presently has millions of disciples.

Regarding the new Holy Son Huang Xiaolong, who couldn’t find an elder willing to accept him, the million disciples of the Holy Sect were utterly gleeful at his misfortune.

When Huang Xiaolong returned to his residence from the Main Hall, Zhang Wenyue and the others also heard about Huang Xiaolong being rejected by the elders.

Zhang Wenyue wanted to say something comforting but didn’t know how to start.

Seeing Zhang Wenyue’s hesitant expression, Huang Xiaolong smiled and said: "Whatever you want to say, just say it. But there’s no need to comfort me; your young master here isn’t that easily discouraged."

Subsequently, Main Hall Master Yang Jingzhi arranged for Huang Xiaolong’s future cultivation residence and inquired about Huang Xiaolong’s preference, as this palace was merely a temporary place for Huang Xiaolong.

"I’ll choose the Desolate God Mountain Range." Huang Xiaolong said.

Yang Jingzhi was somewhat dumbfounded.

The Desolate God Mountain Range? The Spiritual Energy in the Desolate God Mountain Range is lacking. Among the many mountain ranges in the Holy Sect Headquarters, it’s practically a barren wasteland.

"Holy Son Huang Xiaolong, the Desolate God Mountain Range lacks Spiritual Energy and is almost undeveloped, making it extremely difficult to establish a cave residence or palace there." Yang Jingzhi felt compelled to explain the condition of the Desolate God Mountain Range in detail, then continued: "There are still a few Holy Spirit Peaks available in the Baogen Mountain Range; why don’t I arrange a place for you there?"

Huang Xiaolong shook his head: "No need, I’ll choose the Desolate God Mountain Range."

He chose the Desolate God Mountain Range with a specific purpose because Wan Zhuoyuan’s treasure was hidden on a particular peak within the Desolate God Mountain Range!

Although the Desolate God Mountain Range is barren, he possessed top-grade Chaos Spiritual Stones. With enough top-grade Chaos Spiritual Stones, he could quickly develop the Desolate God Mountain Range into a prosperous area.
