#2012 - There can be shady operations even when recruiting disciples!
“After Fellow Daoist Qin broke through this Abyss Tower, the seal on my body has been greatly reduced.”
Bai Ze's voice came.
Qin Buyi said, “That's good.”
After a few casual chats, Qin Buyi directly called the system to return to the Star Blue Tower in his heart.
In the dark, Bai Ze whispered: “The sealing strength of an Abyss Tower is stronger than the previous prison palace.”
“It's comfortable now, I can use more power.”
Being able to use more power in this desolate land is obviously a good thing.
At the very least, he could use this power to hide from the detection of other Chaos Gods.
He didn't have to be as careful as before.
-------------------------------------
After returning to the Star Blue Tower, Qin Buyi immediately took out the spherical object leading to the Fourth Star Ring from the system storage space.
Without much hesitation, he directly shattered this spherical object.
As the violent power was released, Qin Buyi whispered:
“This spherical object is really rough. If someone with insufficient strength hadn't waited for the teleportation array to the Fourth Star Ring to activate, they would have been completely torn apart by this violent energy.”
Such a crude item was thrown from the Fourth Star Ring to the Sixth Star Ring by an unknown person or force...
For a time, thoughts kept swirling in Qin Buyi's mind.
He couldn't be sure of the specific reason right now.
“It seems I can only talk about it after teleporting to the Fourth Star Ring.”
After a brief teleportation, Qin Buyi appeared on a continent.
The area of the continent was very large. Qin Buyi released his divine sense to observe it, and it was as large as a region.
This was the largest continent Qin Buyi had ever seen besides the Small Thousand Worlds.
Such a large place still had a hint of the primordial aura.
“It seems to be a relatively large fragment after the explosion of the Primordial World...”
The area where he descended was not the territory ruled by the Chaos Gods.
It was ruled by the original inhabitants of the Heavens.
Just now, when he released his divine sense, he did not find any Chaos Gods.
This can explain one thing: this place is an area for exterminating the Chaos Gods.
From the Ninth Star Ring until now, this was also the first area Qin Buyi had seen ruled by the original inhabitants of the Heavens.
“It seems that the situation in the inner ring is a little better than I thought...”
After years of war, Qin Buyi thought that the original inhabitants of the Heavens had basically disappeared under the oppression of the Chaos Gods.
Because most of the areas he saw were controlled and dominated by the Chaos Gods.
The remaining few areas were other races...
This was the first time he had seen an area controlled by the original inhabitants of the Heavens themselves.
Qin Buyi couldn't help but feel curious, so he randomly chose a city nearby and landed directly.
“I'll experience the local customs and see what the rule of this area is like...”
Street vendors were hawking, and people with various cultivation levels walked past.
He wandered aimlessly in the city.
Soon, he saw two young children holding wooden swords and fighting each other.
“Qi Xuan, you are a member of the collateral family. You are just relying on your high talent to enter our direct line branch by luck. Why are you fighting with me for a master!”
“Qi Hao, I didn't. The Patriarch asked me to meet the Grand Elder with you this afternoon.”
“Hmph! Since that's the case, then you don't have to go this afternoon.”
Qin Buyi watched this scene with interest.
He hadn't seen this kind of situation where the younger generation of families fought each other for a long time.
As his cultivation level and status became higher and higher, what he had seen and heard in the Little Hongmeng Star Territory for so many years was no longer limited to a certain family force.
He had set his sights on the starry sky of the heavens since who knows when.
Perhaps it was when he fought from the Ninth Star Ring to the Eighth Star Ring, or perhaps it was even earlier...
The words of the two children in front of him evoked his memories.
Back then, when he descended into the Tianhuang Realm, he had also experienced these things.
At that time, Ying Zhi was still the Third Prince, and he was not yet the current Qin Emperor.
Just as the memories in Qin Buyi's mind emerged, two servant-like guys ran over in a hurry.
“Little ancestors, why did you two run here? Quickly put down the wooden swords in your hands. This is too dangerous!”
“The Grand Elder will be accepting disciples this afternoon. You two should hurry up and prepare. This old servant will have to rely on you two young masters in the future!”
Qin Buyi concealed his figure and followed them to the Qi family.
Soon, the Grand Elder's disciple acceptance ceremony began in the afternoon. Under various shady operations, Qi Xuan, who was more talented, was not favored by the Grand Elder.
Instead, Qi Hao was accepted, because the power behind him in the Qi family was greater.
Qi Xuan was just a collateral branch.
This scene made Qin Buyi laugh to himself: “This family's acceptance of disciples is not a selection of geniuses, but more like worldly wisdom.”
What is worldly wisdom? It is a web formed by intertwined and complex relationships.
Everyone in this web will try their best to maintain each other's interests...
Those who are not in this web will naturally not be valued.
Qi Lingyun, the head of the Qi family, showed a smile on his face.
Qi Hao was his son. He let Qi Xuan participate in this pre-determined disciple acceptance ceremony just to show his fairness.
The appearance of fairness still had to be done, so that people wouldn't gossip.
At least, regarding the level of talent, apart from a few people who could see it, the other clansmen didn't know.
And these few clansmen who could see it were still his staunch supporters, and they would definitely not spread it.
In the end, this matter would become in the eyes of the clansmen that Qi Hao's talent was slightly better, and Qi Xuan was ultimately a little lacking...
As for Qi Xuan's training, Qi Lingyun didn't even think about it.
The Qi family was like a big cake, and it was only so big. If he trained the other party.
If his son Qi Hao couldn't suppress him in the future, wouldn't it be a rebellion?
Therefore, he would do the superficial work of training Qi Xuan, but in fact, he would secretly do everything possible to ruin him.
Did their Qi family need geniuses? Of course, they did!
But they had to add another sentence: they didn't need geniuses outside of the direct line.
Qi Xuan was somewhat lost. When he arrived at the main family, the collateral clansmen regarded him as their greatest hope.
Now... his talent was not as good as Qi Hao's after all.
Looking at Qi Hao's triumphant appearance, it would be a lie to say that Qi Xuan wasn't disappointed.
The other Qi clansmen who didn't understand the truth and were still kept in the dark whispered:
“Did you see? Young Master Qi Hao is not comparable to this jinx from a collateral branch whose parents are both dead.”
“That's right. Since I was young, I have seen that Young Master Qi Hao will definitely be extraordinary in the future. How can he be compared to a clansman with such a low status.”
“The branch he is in is basically dead in name only. If it weren't for the fairness of the head of the family, how could he have come here!”
“That's why we say that our head of the family has a grand vision. If it were me, I would never let such a child with no status or background compete with my son for resources!”...
