The Foundation Of The Great Dao! An Unexpected Apprenticeship
Reached the nine thousandth floor.
Lin Fan with Gold Fate Aura was completely unable to climb and fell on the steps.
Only Long Qiye continued to exert strength and climb upwards.
Finally.
Under the shocked gazes of everyone.
Long Qiye ascended the highest step on the Ascension Platform.
The nine thousand nine hundredth floor!
Ding~
Ding~
Ding…
The instant he stepped onto the highest step.
A mysterious sound suddenly rang out in Heaven and Earth.
Above the Void.
A figure manifested.
It was the main body of the Grand Elder presiding over this Mountain Opening Ceremony.
Not only that.
Long Qiye stepping onto the highest level of the Ascension Platform had already attracted the attention of the entire Everflow Sword Sect.
In Xie Fei’s Perception.
Countless Spiritual Senses swept over here.
There was the Sect Master’s, and other Grand Elders’.
Even several unfathomable Auras among them were the legendary Grand Elders of the Sword Sect.
But this time.
What surprised Xie Fei wasn’t Long Qiye reaching the top.
After all, he had a Red Fate, so reaching the top was expected.
What surprised him was the Aura of the Grand Elder who appeared before him.
It actually vaguely gave him a sense of Oppression.
One must know that the current Xie Fei was already at the fifth grade of the Golden Core Realm in Strength.
Moreover, with the blessing of the 《Supreme Void Demon Subduing Divine Chapter》, his Soul Spiritual Sense strength was already comparable to the Nascent Soul.
What could make him feel Oppression.
Could only mean one thing.
That was, the Cultivation Realm of this Grand Elder’s main body who appeared must be Nascent Soul!
Not only that.
Among those terrifying Spiritual Senses that were covering over.
There were also many old monsters in the Nascent Soul Realm!
Those several unfathomable Grand Elders were even possibly above the Nascent Soul Realm…
“Crap!
“The Foundation of these top Experts of the Sect is actually a third-rate Sword Sect?”
When he discovered this, Xie Fei was greatly shocked in his heart.
According to the Original Body’s Memory.
The most powerful people in the Everflow Sword Sect were only at the Golden Core Realm.
But only now did he discover.
How superficial the Original Body’s knowledge was, or rather, how little he knew!
If Xie Fei wasn’t in the Golden Core Realm now, if his Soul Perception strength wasn’t sharp enough to be comparable to the Nascent Soul Realm.
He probably wouldn’t have been able to discover these things!
……
Just as Xie Fei was surprised.
On the Ascension Platform on the nine thousand nine hundredth floor.
The Grand Elder had already arrived in front of Long Qiye.
“I didn’t expect that after so many years, someone would actually reach the top and knock on the Heaven’s Gate…”
This Grand Elder seemed to be reminiscing, and also seemed a little sorrowful.
After a short while.
He came back to his senses and said to Long Qiye, “Now that you have reached the top, have you thought about which Elder you want to take as your Master?
“If you don’t know the situation of the various Elders of the Everflow Sword Sect, I can explain it to you now…”
Long Qiye respectfully bowed, and then said, “Answering Grand Elder, this Disciple has already thought about my Venerated Master.”
“Oh? Who is it?”
The Grand Elder immediately asked curiously.
Generally speaking, shouldn’t he ask more about the situation of those Elders, as well as what they are good at, or their Positions, etc.?
Why had he already chosen before he could even introduce them?
“Please Preside, Grand Elder, this Disciple wants to take the Gatekeeper Elder of the First Trial as my Master.
“This Disciple doesn’t know that Elder’s name, but he is in Area Three…”
Long Qiye hadn’t finished speaking.
When he was interrupted by the surprised Grand Elder: “What did you say? You want to take an Inner Sect Elder as your Master?!”
“Yes! Please allow it, Grand Elder!”
Long Qiye bowed deeply.
The Grand Elder was completely stunned.
Not only the Grand Elder.
The surrounding Elders, and even those who came to check with their Spiritual Sense, were all dumbfounded.
A Disciple who reached the top of the Ascension Platform.
Actually wanted to take an unknown Inner Sect Elder as his Master?
What were they thinking!
……
Around Xie Fei.
A group of Elders looked over with incredulous gazes.
Everyone was staring at him.
As if staring at a strange thing.
Xie Fei was also stunned.
He didn’t expect that Long Qiye would choose to take him as his Master.
Let alone anything else.
He simply didn’t have the idea of accepting an Apprentice at all.
Accepting an Apprentice was too troublesome.
He had to consider everything about the Apprentice, and also be responsible for cultivating them into talent.
Calling out “Master”.
“Master” was important, but “Father” was even more important!
Xie Fei just wanted to lie flat and secretly develop.
He would never think about becoming some kind of “Master.”
Above.
The Grand Elder’s Gaze was cast over.
Then before his eyes could focus.
He had already brought Long Qiye down in front of Xie Fei.
As a Grand Elder, a word spoken could not be taken back.
Not to mention that he didn’t set that rule either, after Long Qiye confirmed, even if there was more incomprehension, he would bring the person over.
But at the last moment.
This Grand Elder couldn’t help but ask, “Long Qiye, I’ll ask you one more time, are you sure you want to take him as your Master?”
Long Qiye first bowed to the Grand Elder again.
Then he bowed deeply to Xie Fei again.
Finally, he said with incomparable firmness, “This Disciple has thought it through very clearly, please fulfill my wish, Grand Elder!
“Please fulfill my wish, Master!”
The last sentence was said to Xie Fei.
Facing this situation.
It was like a piece of fine jade was about to be buried in a latrine.
The Grand Elder had a feeling of hating iron for not becoming steel in his heart.
But he finally endured it and looked at Xie Fei.
At this moment.
Everyone’s Gaze was focused over.
Xie Fei endured the pressure and said with some embarrassment, “This… I…
“My Cultivation is low, Long Qiye, why don’t you… think about it again?”
He really didn’t want to accept any Apprentice.
Even if it was Long Qiye with a Red Fate, he was unwilling to add trouble to himself.
“If it wasn’t for Master’s open-mindedness, this Disciple would never have been able to get to where I am now!”
Long Qiye actually knelt down on the spot.
Seeing this scene.
The Grand Elder said with a livid face, “Xie Fei, since this Disciple is determined to take you as his Master.
“In view of the Sect rules of the Mountain Opening Ceremony, you can only accept, and cannot refuse!
“And you must treat him seriously in the future, if anyone discovers that you are not teaching your Apprentice sincerely, you will be expelled from the Everflow Sword Sect!”
He really didn’t want to, and would have been happy to see Xie Fei refuse to accept an Apprentice.
But this Sect rule was from the time the Everflow Sword Sect was established.
In any case.
Sect rules cannot be broken!
Since things had come to this.
Xie Fei had no choice but to reluctantly agree, “Grand Elder’s teachings are correct.
“I will keep the Sect rules in mind and wholeheartedly teach this Disciple.
“But given the special circumstances this time.
“Why not let Long Qiye cultivate in the Sect together with others.
“If there are any problems, or if he needs any help, he can come to the Sword Pavilion to find me, how about that?”
What he thought, naturally, was still to save trouble.
Even if Long Qiye was excellent and had unlimited potential.
But Xie Fei still didn’t think that accepting an Apprentice would be a big advantage.
Hearing these words.
The Grand Elder immediately fell into deep thought.
Very obviously.
He had taken Xie Fei’s words into consideration.
After all, in everyone’s eyes.
This Core Elder on the Second Floor of the Sword Pavilion was only at the Qi Refining Realm.
What Disciple could a Qi Refining Realm expert teach?
And it was still the super genius who was first on the Ascension Platform.
The perceptive Xie Fei noticed that someone seemed to be using Sound Transmission to talk to this thoughtful Grand Elder.
After a moment.
He saw the Grand Elder nod, “What you said is not without reason.
“And the starting point is also for the sake of the Disciple’s future.
“Since that is the case, then I will make the decision to agree.
“In the future, Long Qiye will cultivate the same as ordinary Outer Sect Disciples.
“If there is anything he doesn’t understand or needs any Resources, he can go to the Sword Pavilion to find you.
“If you can’t provide it, you can let him go to the several Grand Elders of the Sword Pavilion…”
Hearing these words.
Xie Fei probably guessed who was using Sound Transmission just now.
It was most likely a certain Expert from the Sword Pavilion.
Overall.
Although the Everflow Sword Sect was a whole, there were still some factions within it.
The Sword Pavilion lineage, the Sword Burial lineage…
For this super genius Long Qiye, being able to enter their faction was definitely highly valued.
They even didn’t hesitate to say that if Xie Fei couldn’t solve it, he could directly find them.
Things had reached this point.
It was considered over.
After performing the apprenticeship ceremony.
Long Qiye exceptionally became the Head Disciple under Xie Fei’s command.
And Xie Fei, with his “Qi Refining Realm” Inner Sect Elder Identity, became the only Elder in the Sword Sect with a Disciple.
According to the usual practice.
In the Everflow Sword Sect, Elders who wanted to accept Disciples had to have at least Foundation Establishment Cultivation.
That was to say, they had to be at least Elite Elder level.

……
When Long Qiye successfully joined the Everflow Sword Sect.
And Qing Yao could also become an Outer Sect Disciple of the Sword Sect.
The System’s Rebate finally came.
The same as the previous Investment in Sword Thirteen.
There were four types of Rebate.
But this time the four types.
There wasn’t a Profound Skill like the 《Supreme Void Demon Subduing Divine Chapter》.
Instead, they were some mysterious and profound things.
Such as that “Foundation of the Great Dao”.
Xie Fei suppressed the thoughts of pondering, and led Long Qiye, Qing Yao, and Lin Fan into the Sword Sect first.
Long Qiye and Qing Yao, needless to say.
The two Childhood Sweethearts were inseparable.
Lin Fan followed…
Forget it.
Xie Fei was a little helpless and didn’t ask the reason.
“Maybe this is the consequence of investing everywhere…”
After thinking about it, he could only comfort himself in this way.
Along the way.
The Sword Sect Disciples who heard the news.
Stopped one after another, and looked over curiously.
Their Gazes were basically focused on Long Qiye and Xie Fei.
“Is that Long Qiye who climbed the nine thousand nine hundred steps for the first time in history?”
“Yes! It’s him! I was there at the time, I saw it clearly, that Kid on the Ascension Platform was awesome!”
“Logically speaking, after reaching the top of the Ascension Platform, shouldn’t he take the Sect Master, or a certain Grand Elder in secluded Cultivation as his Master? Why is he mixed up with an Inner Sect Elder?”
“I know this, I heard that during the First Trial, that Elder Xie Fei let him pass…”
“Sigh! Really… how does that saying go? A waste of natural resources?”
“It’s a waste!”
“He’ll know he regrets it later.”
……
One was the first on the Ascension Platform in this Mountain Opening Ceremony.
One was an Inner Sect Elder with only Qi Refining Realm.
No matter how you looked at this Master and Disciple combination, it shouldn’t have happened in reality.
But it just happened to appear.
This made everyone very incomprehensible.
Many people even started betting on when Long Qiye would feel regret.
However, these remarks did not affect Long Qiye and his companions.
As for Xie Fei.
That was even more impossible.
He took the three to the New Disciple Registration Office.
After Xie Fei explained some routine things, he left alone.
What “Master” and “Apprentice”.
Believing in Long Qiye’s Red Fate Aura.
He only needed to add a little fuel… well, invest a little.
He wouldn’t need to care too much.
This kind of existence like the protagonist of Heaven’s Mandate, having a real Master would instead become Shackles, and might even become a burden.
“Yes!
“Now my excuse for being lazy is becoming more and more justified…”
Xie Fei nodded in satisfaction to himself.
Then he went into the Elder’s Residence of the Sword Pavilion.
Because the Mountain Opening Ceremony had just ended.
The Sword Pavilion had to go to work, at least he would have to go there tomorrow.
The First Floor would be busy tomorrow.
After all, so many new Disciples had come…
……
“System, extract a Thousand Years of Lifespan first!”
After opening the Magic Array of the Residence.
Xie Fei silently said to the System in his heart.
In an instant.
A chaotic energy, full of powerful Vitality, poured into his limbs and bones, and merged into every inch of his Flesh.
About half an Hour.
All the energy was completely absorbed by the Flesh.
When Xie Fei opened his eyes.
He only felt that his whole body was full of vigorous Vitality.
He even had an Illusion that perhaps a drop of his blood was comparable to Spirit Medicine.
But it wasn’t too far off.
His current body.
Had the Great Luo Sword Body, and the Tiger Demon Golden Body…
Plus the creation of this Thousand Years of Lifespan.
The Flesh would indeed contain some special effects.
Such as treating common Diseases and plagues, etc.
But that was all.
Unless his Flesh underwent some kind of qualitative change.
The Thousand Years of Lifespan had been extracted.
Next was the Talent “Man and Sword as One”.
There wasn’t much feeling about this.
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
Xie Fei had already stood up and taken out the System Magic Sword.
Whoosh…
He just casually waved it twice.
Every move and every stance carried a fierce killing intent.
And it was extremely flexible.
Wherever he wanted to go, the Sword went there.
The Magic Sword seemed to have become a part of his body, as easy as using his arms and fingers.
“With my current situation, what would it be like to use the Nine Heavens Sword Art?”
Thinking of this.
Xie Fei couldn’t wait to experiment.
When the Nine Heavens Sword Art was used.
His whole person suddenly disappeared!
It was as if he was integrated into the Sword Light, in this Nine Heavens Sword World, he was everywhere!
Man and Sword as One.
Sword Intent.
Sword Light.
Sword Radiance.
…were all Xie Fei!
This feeling was quite wonderful.
But after experimenting for a while.
Xie Fei immediately stopped.
If he didn’t stop, this Room would probably be gone.
It would be difficult to deal with if he made a commotion at that time.
But in just a short while.
Everything in the Room was annihilated, and silently turned into Void.
“Now, it’s time for the final Foundation of the Great Dao.
“I want to see, what use is this thing that the System describes so mysteriously!”
