Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist

Elder Zhao’s words made the disciples in the hall realize as if a soothing revelation swept over them, suddenly waking them up.

No matter what changes occurred with the Canglan Treasure Manual, it was unrelated to them.

Now, the martial path heritage on these stone tablets revealed itself directly, and the techniques they previously couldn’t comprehend are now within their grasp.

Shua!

The disciples who came to their senses rushed towards the stone tablets immediately.

Those quick would gain, while those slow would miss out.

Some disciples, just as they moved, found their target stone tablet had been taken by others, so they rushed to the adjacent stone tablets without hesitation.

The three hundred cultivation techniques present in the Inheritance Hall were all selected by the sect.

Learning any one of them would not be a loss.

Seeing these disciples finally react, Zhao Yulin revealed a smile on his face, then looked towards the emaciated elder in the corner, a hint of respect in his eyes, nodding imperceptibly towards him.

The Inheritance Hall, being a significant place for the sect, not only had stewards maintaining order but also an uncle was stationed there.

The uncle, although not a Myriad Phenomena Realm powerhouse, had long cultivated to the Innate Sixth Realm.

Except for these elders, none of the stewards or disciples below knew of the uncle’s identity.

After saluting, Zhao Yulin looked towards the center of the hall, where the Canglan energy from the Canglan Treasure Manual was surging out continuously, like a tide, washing over the surroundings of the hall.

In this tide of Canglan energy, Lin Chen’s figure gradually approached the Canglan Treasure Manual, until only a foot away, when a pure blue pillar of Canglan energy suddenly descended from above the hall.

This light pillar enveloped both Lin Chen and the Canglan Treasure Manual, and even innate powerhouses could not discern what was happening inside the pillar.

”Unaffiliated individuals, leave the hall.”

Upon receiving the uncle’s hint, Zhao Yulin spoke, and those disciples who didn’t secure a stone tablet could only exit with regret.

Soon, besides the elder, there was no one left in the hall.

However, the plaza was filled with thousands of disciples, densely packed.

There were outer sect disciples, inner sect disciples, with a man in black standing at the front.

”Even Senior Brother Qiao has come.”

”No choice, Senior Brother Lin caused such a stir today, surpassing two hundred points in the direct disciple assessment. Though it happened before, he’s the first to cause such changes in the Canglan Treasure Manual.”

No one among the present inner sect disciples and outer sect disciples didn’t recognize Qiao Yuan.

Though Qiao Yuan was not ranked first among the inner sect disciples, everyone knew it was only because Senior Brother Qiao joined the sect later, and his age disadvantaged him. Given the same time as the others, he would surely be ranked first.

Even among the outer sect disciples, Qiao Yuan’s popularity exceeded that of the others.

The outer sect disciples of the Canglan Sect were generally young, mostly under twenty, hence in their hearts, the under-twenty Qiao Yuan was the most admirable.

”Qiao Yuan is here.”

Seeing Qiao Yuan’s arrival, Zhao Yulin smiled; Lin Chen had already been taken by Old Du. The disciple he most wanted to take now was Qiao Yuan.

The process by which Old Du took Lin Chen as a disciple also gave him some inspiration, which was to build a relationship to play the emotional card later.

”Disciple greets Elder Zhao.”

Qiao Yuan spoke, saluting, his gaze directed towards the hall: ”Elder Zhao, I heard Junior Brother Lin caused changes in the Canglan Treasure Manual, could you elucidate this to the disciple?”

”I cannot elucidate.”

Zhao Yulin thought to himself because he didn’t know why the Canglan Treasure Manual had such changes either.

He just received the sect leader’s message to come and maintain order in the Inheritance Hall.

Perhaps only the uncle and the sect leader knew why the Canglan Treasure Manual had such changes.

”This matter involves sect secrets, I cannot disclose it to you for now.”

Zhao Yulin stroked his beard with a smile, his expression inscrutable.

”The disciple understands.”

Qiao Yuan didn’t ask further, but a hint of dissatisfaction lingered in his eyes.

Before Lin Chen’s arrival, he was the number one genius under twenty in the Canglan Sect. He didn’t pay much mind to those senior brothers ranked above him among the inner sect disciples; he was less powerful simply due to fewer years of cultivation.

Given the same cultivation time, he would surely surpass those senior brothers in strength.

Even though Lin Chen surpassed two hundred points in the direct disciple assessment, surprising him, he didn’t think Lin Chen was stronger.

He wasn’t a direct disciple because he wasn’t eligible but because he wanted to participate in this year’s inner sect disciple competition. If he became a direct disciple, he wouldn’t qualify for the competition.

After participating in the inner sect competition, he’d choose a master among the elders and take the direct disciple assessment, confident his score wouldn’t be lower than Lin Chen’s.

This was his confidence.

But now, Lin Chen, comprehending the Canglan Treasure Manual, caused such vast changes, whereas his own comprehension hadn’t brought such changes.

If such changes were adverse, it wouldn’t matter, but by revealing martial arts techniques from other stone tablets, and by Elder Zhao’s instruction for other unaffiliated disciples not to enter the hall, Qiao Yuan understood this was a positive event.

Faced with the current reality, even with his confidence, he had to admit that in comprehending the Canglan Treasure Manual, he had conceded a step to Lin Chen.

...

Canglan Main Hall of the Canglan Sect.

Ji Cangtian sat cross-legged above the hall, a hopeful glint in his eyes.

”Heart of Canglan, our Canglan Sect hasn’t had a disciple comprehend the Heart of Canglan for three hundred years. Finally, there’s another with the hope of comprehension.”

Some secrets within the Canglan Sect, even the sect elders aren’t privileged to know.

Among them is the Heart of Canglan.

The founding ancestor of the Canglan Sect left behind a cultivation technique, using which he became a top powerhouse in the Flame Dynasty, and established the Canglan Sect.

To cultivate this technique, one must be able to condense the Heart of Canglan.

This technique is called the Canglan Divine Scripture.

...

...

”Is this surrendering to me?”

Within the pillar of condensed Canglan energy, Lin Chen discovered that at this moment, the Canglan Treasure Manual was no longer rejecting him, constantly having Canglan energy flowing into his body, beginning to gradually merge with the Canglan energy within him.

In the next moment, Lin Chen noticed that these Canglan energies didn’t converge towards his dantian but moved to the location of his heart.

Meanwhile, the Canglan Treasure Manual in front of him slowly turned its pages, revealing a line of text before Lin Chen: ”Canglan, vast and mysterious, its depths immeasurable.”

Connecting to the Celestial Ruins above, reflecting all heavens stars as Canglan’s Eyes;

Below, it connects to the Nine Netherworld, hiding eternal tribulations as the Key of Reincarnation.
