“I, disciple, Ling Xian, formally greet the Supreme Headmaster.”

　　A bright voice rose. Though the volume of the voice was not loud, it acted like a bomb that startled the entire Wan Jian House.

　　Ling… Ling Xian?

　　The multi-talented genius that rattled Yunzhou?

　　As if struck by lightning, everyone’s brain went blank and stared at Ling Xian with their stagnant eyes. They lost all abilities to think.

　　After a very long time, they finally snapped back to reality and breathed in cold air.

　　“What? He is the Heaven’s Favorite that broke the silence of our Drum of Eternity?”

　　“The Heaven’s Favorite who used foundational strength to defeat the completion might?”

　　“Haha, the person who killed the Third Prince and escaped the emperor came to our House!”

　　Everyone chimed in. they truly could not believe that the prominent young man before them was the heaven defying cultivator that caused a chaos on Yunzhou!

　　To everyone in the Wan Jian House, the name Ling Xian was not an estranged one. It was a name that was ingrained in their hearts. Ever since eight years ago, they’ve learned that this multi-talented Heaven’s Favorite was going to be accepted into the House.

　　Sadly, everyone waited left and right and could not find a trace of him.

　　Now that Ling Xian appeared out of his free will and out of nowhere, how could they not feel shocked? As much as they feel shocked, they were also ecstatic.

　　It was all because of what Ling Xian just said.

　　Disciple, Ling Xian, greeting, Headmaster. Doesn’t this mean that he admits that he is now a disciple of the Wan Jian House?

　　Remember that there are very few young Heaven’s Favorites in the Wan Jian House these days. There are even less of those who can represent the House.

　　Didn’t everyone just witness the Shura House’s second generation descendant acting irrationally here? From this, it should be obvious that the Wan Jian House’s younger generation is weak and doesn’t have anyone they can efficiently use.

　　However, before them was a Heaven’s Favorite who rattled Yunzhou and slaughtered the Third Prince. The moment he showed up, he taught the arrogant Lin Tian a valuable lesson and proceeded to display great respect to the House. What a series of happy events this has been!

　　Thus, everyone was feeling fortunate and happy. The way they looked at Ling Xian was no longer with unfamiliarity. It was full of appreciation and love.

　　Dao Wu Ji and the other 11 peak leaders did not hide their happiness. They looked at Ling Xian with gentleness.

　　For eight years they anticipated Ling Xian’s arrival and wanted to watch him enter the House. Today, he finally did so and did it in such a glorious way. He saved the House’s face. How could they not feel happy?

　　To summarize, Ling Xian’s arrival made the entire Wan Jian House feel lucky and happy!

　　“Haha, very good!”

　　Dao Wu Ji laughed. His flickering eyes were somewhat damp as he exclaimed, “I have waited for what you said for eight long years.”

　　Who was the most excited for Ling Xian’s arrival? It was without a doubt, the Supreme Headmaster. Because of Ling Xian, he had threatened the other controlling forces in Yunzhou.

　　Now that Ling Xian has finally arrived and called himself a disciple of the House, Dao Wu Ji was beyond excited.

　　“I apologize, Headmaster. For various reasons, my arrival has been delayed.”

　　Noticing Dao Wu Ji’s damp eyes, Ling Xian’s heart warmed and his liking towards him deepened. He was now certain that he made the right choice.

　　The Wan Jian house deserved him!

　　“You are not late. I am just glad you came.”

　　Dao Wu Ji faintly grinned. His white robe floated in the wind. He truly appeared just like an immortal, absolutely extraordinary. Even if he was not the ruler of this House, his aura alone would be attracting all the attention right now.

　　His temperament has outshined everyone else’s. Even the divine looking 11 peak leaders paled next to him. However, this was under a normal circumstance. Today was somewhat different.

　　Because Ling Xian was standing there on the arena.

　　His temperament was also similar to an immortal’s, pure, and out of the world, . Against Dao Wu Ji, an original levelled cultivator, he did not lose even a little bit. He was merely different in a positive way.

　　Especially after he defeated Lin Tian and saved the Wan Jian House, he has caught everyone’s focus. All eyes were on him! They looked at him the same way they would look at a hero. There was respect, admiration, appreciation, and idolization.

　　At the critical moment, right before the Wan Jian House’s reputation was about to be tarnished, Ling Xian stepped up and saved them. This move alone could grant him the title of a hero. Not only did he help the Wan Jian House, he also taught Lin Tian a lesson. If this doesn’t make him heroic, what does?

　　As for the antagonist who’s sole purpose of existence is to make Ling Xian look amazing in comparison, has fallen into silence. Since his defeat, he has been in a sluggish mood and kept on repeating the same sentence silently.

　　[God… he… he is the monster who killed the Third Prince?]

　　[Dammit, how did I end up encounter him?]

　　Lin Tian’s face was as white as a sheet of paper as the fear he felt reached its extreme. He even began to shake. However, nobody was paying attention to this loser now. They were all focused on Ling Xian.

　　At this moment, Lin Tian was in a predicament while Ling Xian was shining all around!

　　“Since Elder Si Tu struck the Drum of Eternity three times many years ago, I have waited and hoped for your arrival.” Dao Wu Ji appeared sorrowful as he exclaimed, “Back then, you were merely a meditational cultivator. I cannot believe that after merely eight years, you are now a powerhouse.”

　　Ling Xian faintly smiled and suddenly remembered the Elder from back then, “I wonder is Elder Si Tu is doing well?”

　　“Oh him. After what happened eight years ago, he left to kill the Red Robed Freak to avenge you.” Dao Wu Ji smiled.

　　Hearing this, Ling Xian’s heart warmed. He didn’t think that Elder Si Tu would treat what happened back then so seriously.

　　“Do not worry. The way you returned to Yunzhou has been so aggressive the entire Yunzhou knows of your return.” Dao Wu Ji’s eyes was full of compliments. “I bet he’s heard the news and is on his way back.”

　　“Okay. Then I will wait for him here.” Ling Xian smiled.

　　“Haha, where else can you go?” Dao Wu Ji bellowed and teased, “Ling Xian, do not forget, you are now a member of the Wan Jian House.”

　　“Yes, since I am now a disciple of yours, I should choose a peak to stay in.”

　　The Seek Sword Peak Leader suddenly spoke as he watched the young man with kindness, “Ling Xian, come to the Seek Sword Peak. We have great resources and capabilities.”

　　The other leaders was a little stunned at this. But they realized his intention right way.

　　Who was Ling Xian? He was an extremely talented young man with unlimited potential. Whichever peak gets him will increase in abilities and will acquire great honor!

　　Thus, all the peak leaders began to try and snatch Ling Xian.

　　“Hmmph, your Seek Sword Peak is nothing. Ling Xian, come to Slay Sword Peak. I will teach you the peak’s best techniques.” The Slay Sword Peak leader snickered.

　　“Junior sister, when will you stop being so cold?”

　　A kind looking elderly stroke his beard and chuckled, “Don’t listen to them. Come to the Refine Sword Peak. I guarantee you that you will have unlimited resources and all knowledge with all my techniques.”

　　“How useless. Wherever he ends up, he will get great resources.” The Slay Sword Peak leader raised an eyebrow. She stared at Ling Xian and made a committing promise.

　　“Come to the Slay Sword Peak. I promise you that within a century, you will become an original cultivator.”

　　Everyone laughed and shook their heads.

　　“Junior sister, you are not even an original cultivator yourself, what do you have to promise Ling Xian that?” The Seek Sword Peak leader teased, “Ling Xian, don’t get swayed. The Seek Sword Peak is your optimal choice.”

　　Of course, the other peak leaders didn’t take this and began to argue and bring each other down. They all wanted Ling Xian to join their own peak.

　　Slowly but surely, the battle ring became a place for battles once again. All 11 peak leaders were now staring at each other and arguing angrily.

　　Ling Xian smiled bitterly and shook his head, unsure who’s invitation he should accept.

　　There are 12 peaks in the Wan Jian House, every single peak has their own inheritances and peak leader. The Slay Sword Peak know about all the different ways to kill while the Seek Sword Peak has all knowledge with swordsmanship. Every peak is different, and every peak has their own advantages and specialty.

　　Thus, no matter which peak he chooses, he will be greatly benefited. But right now, all 11 of the peak leaders were red faced trying to get him to their side. It was hard for him to just accept one. He will deeply offend the others once he accept any one of them.

　　Thus, Ling Xian peeked at Dao Wu Ji, hoping that he will speak out and stop this.

　　Dao Wu Ji was looking at him playfully, as if waiting for drama to happen. After feeling Ling Xian’s gaze however, he coughed, “Ehem, ehem, everyone… please be quiet.”

　　He was the ruler of the House after all. After he spoke, the entire place silenced.

　　“I understand how you are all feeling,” Dao Wu Ji faintly grinned, “But, do you really think that with Ling Xian’s capabilities today, he should be a disciple of yours?”

　　All 11 peak leaders frowned. It was true. With Ling Xian’s abilities today, he shouldn’t be a student.

　　“Yes. Even though eight years ago, Elder Si Tu promised to make Ling Xian a true descendant of this House, it’s been eight years. He has grown so much, the title disciple doesn’t seem to suit him anymore.”

　　Dao Wu Ji’s lips curled and slowly stated the decision he has already made. He brought all 11 peak leaders and all spectators into a state of shock.

　　“Therefore, I plan on entitling him the position of a Core Elder. I grant him the right to access the Tipitaka Pavilion and learn techniques from every peak.”
