Chapter 135: The Angry Ancestor of Jixian Sect

Inner Sect Master Wu Xinjue led the various Peak Masters, all radiating intense Killing Intent, as they hurried over.

At this moment, the Ancestor of Jixian Sect was in closed-door cultivation within his Immortal Cave.

He had suffered a backlash from his divination yesterday, so he was completely unaware of the events outside.

"Old Ancestor, we have an important matter to report."

Inner Sect Master Wu Xinjue bowed and saluted outside the Immortal Cave.

The other four Peak Masters did the same, cupping their fists and bowing outside the Immortal Cave.

A moment later, a deep and resonant voice came from within the Immortal Cave.

"What is it?"

"The situation is like this…"

Inner Sect Master Wu Xinjue and the others did not enter the Immortal Cave; he explained the matter of Xiao Fan's Awakening of the Enlightenment Seed from outside.

The other Peak Masters remained silent during this time, wondering how they would request the Old Ancestor to take Xiao Fan under their tutelage later.

Usually, when a Genius Disciple joined, the Peak Masters would often compete, but this was the first time in history it had been this intense.

Inside the Immortal Cave, the Ancestor of Jixian Sect remained silent, listening quietly to the words of Sect Master Wu Xinjue.

"A Disciple with an Enlightenment Seed…"

The Ancestor of Jixian Sect suddenly clenched his fists, a flash of anger in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice:

"Damn it…"

To be able to Awaken an Enlightenment Seed proved that he was a rare Prodigy seen only once in a century.

Because he was in closed-door cultivation within the Immortal Cave recovering from his injuries, he had paid no attention to external affairs.

Otherwise, he would definitely have taken such a Disciple under his own tutelage…

Outside the Immortal Cave, Inner Sect Master Wu Xinjue and the various Peak Masters were completely unaware of the thoughts of the Ancestor of Jixian Sect.

"That is the situation… As for which Peak this Xiao Fan should enter, we ask the Old Ancestor to judge."

Sect Master Wu Xinjue threw the decision-making power directly to the Ancestor of Jixian Sect.

In any case, he wouldn't take the blame; he couldn't afford to offend any of them.

"Old Ancestor, the person Awakened the Enlightenment Seed after listening to a lecture by Jiang Yushan of my Artifact Refining Lineage, so this person is destined for Danding Peak…" Kong Ping was the first to speak. As the only Grade 5 Alchemist in the entire Jixian Sect, he had the confidence to say so.

However, before his voice had even faded, and before the Ancestor of Jixian Sect inside the Immortal Cave could respond, Bei Ming on the side hurriedly spoke up:

"Old Ancestor, I, Bei Ming, have worked diligently forging weapons for the Sect for so many years. Even if I haven't achieved great things, I have certainly put in the hard work. Xiao Fan was clearly spotted by me first, and I was the first to say I wanted to take him as a Disciple… Yet this group of people wants to snatch him away. Old Ancestor, please make the decision for me."

He rolled up his sleeves, revealing his well-developed muscles. The burly man was now tearfully pleading, a very discordant scene.

"Old Ancestor… Xiao Fan was clearly interested in my Formation Branch… They are a group of men bullying a weak woman like me…" Elder Shi Pin spoke up, feeling aggrieved.

She recalled how Xiao Fan looked when he saw the Eighth Killing Array… He had clearly been interested.

And yet…

Warrior Feng was speechless on the side.

He also wanted to speak, but unfortunately, the status of the Martial Arts Lineage was several grades lower than these few.

Alchemy and Artifact Refining went without saying, and the Formation Branch concerned the defensive arrays and Restrictions of the entire Jixian Sect, making its role extremely significant.

However, after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and stood out; he had to make the greatest effort to fight for it.

"Old Ancestor, this Xiao Fan… also has a connection with my Martial Arts Lineage. He can fight a Half-step Tongtian Realm at the seventh level of the Huaqi Realm!"

Inside the Immortal Cave, the Ancestor of Jixian Sect, who had a pale and ugly expression, changed his expression again upon hearing this.

Fighting a Half-step Tongtian Realm at the seventh level of the Huaqi Realm?

What kind of talent would that require?

He couldn't have done that back in his day…

This is a Prodigy…

"Old Ancestor, Xiao Fan joining my Alchemy Lineage is the most correct choice."

"No, Old Ancestor, my Artifact Refining Lineage is Xiao Fan's home."

"Old Ancestor, the Formation Branch is this child's final destination. If my mother knew from the underworld, she would definitely think so too…"

"Old Ancestor…"

At this moment, the various Peak Masters were crying, shouting, and roaring, and even Elder Shi Pin brought up her deceased mother to make a point.

Inner Sect Master Wu Xinjue, who was on the side, had a slightly darkened expression.

He felt as if he had caused trouble…

He had thought that by coming to the Old Ancestor, these people would restrain themselves, but the result…

Especially inside the Immortal Cave, the Ancestor of Jixian Sect remained silent for a long time…

He guessed that he was likely enraged.

However, what he didn't know was that the Ancestor of Jixian Sect inside the Immortal Cave was indeed quite angry…

But it wasn't because of these few people, but because he hadn't noticed that a Disciple with an Enlightenment Seed had appeared in the Jixian Sect.

"Damn it…"

At this moment, even with the cultivation of the Ancestor of Jixian Sect, he couldn't control himself.

"Damn backlash…"

If he hadn't suffered a backlash from the divination yesterday, he wouldn't have failed to notice the strange phenomenon that appeared outside…

However, at this time, everything was already too late…

It would have been fine if these guys hadn't spoken up about wanting to take Xiao Fan as a Disciple, but they had already spoken first and even begged him.

How could he have the face to snatch a Disciple from this group of people?

To take in a Prodigy Disciple who had also Awakened an Enlightenment Seed; once such a Disciple grew up, he would definitely bring him honor.

At this moment, he hated yesterday's strange phenomenon…

But he had no choice; the great being who could create that phenomenon was simply too terrifying; he couldn't fight them.

He didn't even dare to curse aloud, fearing being perceived by the other party…
