Cultivation: I Signed in with the Talent of an Immortal at the Start

Chapter 492: Taking Yun Wuji as a Disciple Five Hundred Simulations

Han Xuanji was slightly surprised by this sudden formal salute.

After all, such Prodigies usually possessed an unyielding pride; when meeting a Powerful Expert, they should be neither humble nor arrogant.

However, Yun Wuji did not feel that there was anything shameful or improper about it.

After completing the salute, he did not rise immediately but maintained a respectful posture and said in a clear voice:

“Junior Yun Wuji pays respects to Xuantian Dao Venerable!”

“The Dao Venerable’s Divine Ability is immeasurable. With a wave of your hand, you suppressed the Limitless and saved the Immortal Realm from collapse. Your Karma is towering, illuminating all heavens!”

“This salute is performed by Yun Wuji on behalf of all living beings in the Immortal Realm!”

This fellow certainly knew how to talk.

Han Xuanji finally understood how the other party had obtained so many Legacies from great experts; this flattery was truly skilled.

However, he was in no hurry to speak, silently listening to Yun Wuji’s words:

“Although this Junior has received the blessings of predecessors and was fortunate enough to achieve something, the path of Dao is long. I often feel my own insignificance and that the Great Dao is boundless.”

“Having witnessed the Dao Venerable’s heavenly might, I finally know what true world-shaking power is. The Dao Venerable’s Dao is like the Chaos starry sky, vast and infinite. This Junior yearns for it and dreams of it day and night. I implore the Dao Venerable to show mercy, take this Junior as a Disciple, and allow me to serve by your side and listen to the true words of the Great Dao!”

“This Junior will surely cultivate diligently, honor the Master, and respect the Dao to repay your kindness, even at the cost of ten thousand deaths!”

His voice was clear and firm, every word containing reverence from the bottom of his heart.

There was no flowery flattery, only a sincere pursuit of the Great Dao and submission to Han Xuanji’s supreme power.

Han Xuanji did not feel any aversion to this compliment.

After all, the man carried the Legacies of two Limitless Primordial Dao Venerables and was already a Prodigy at the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm’s pyramid with a boundless future.

Yet, he was willing to cast aside all pride, perform such a grand salute, and sincerely seek to become a Disciple.

This showed that Han Xuanji’s status in his heart far exceeded that of an ordinary ‘Senior’.

“System, how many simulation attempts are needed to simulate Yun Wuji?”

Han Xuanji looked at him quietly while questioning the System in his heart.

[Five hundred times.]

“Oh?”

Han Xuanji wasn’t too surprised.

Originally, the simulation required three hundred times, so it wasn’t strange for it to rise to five hundred now.

It seemed the System’s evaluation of Yun Wuji had increased, or perhaps the System was experiencing ‘inflation’.

“I currently have less than 300 attempts. I still need two thousand years… which isn’t long.”

Han Xuanji pondered silently, feeling somewhat expectant of Yun Wuji’s simulated future.

He had already achieved Limitless Primordial, and it was difficult for the Immortal Realm to be destroyed.

He wondered what kind of events would cause the simulation to end.

Where exactly was the upper limit of the simulated future?

Han Xuanji was curious, and his gaze stared straight at Yun Wuji, putting immense pressure on the latter.

Just as Yun Wuji began to wonder if he had been too forward…

“Rise.”

Han Xuanji spoke slowly, his voice calm.

Han Xuanji had noticed Yun Wuji as soon as he returned to the Immortal Realm.

He just hadn’t expected the man to come and plead on his own initiative.

Yun Wuji rose as told, still standing with his head bowed, waiting for what came next, his heart inevitably feeling a bit apprehensive.

“Your foundation is profound, and your Luck is flourishing.”

Han Xuanji said indifferently:

“The Dao has no hierarchy, yet there are differences in depth and breadth. The two Legacies within your body—one of ‘Extinction and Return to the Void’ and the other of ‘Brilliant Vitality’—seem to conflict, but in reality, they secretly align with the ultimate principles of Yin and Yang, creation and destruction, and Reincarnation.”

“If you can integrate them and walk your own path, your future will be limitless.”

Yun Wuji’s heart shook.

The other Legacy in his body was extremely secretive, yet Han Xuanji could see through its essence at a glance and point out the key.

This insight filled him with even more awe.

“You wish to take me as your Master, but have you considered that my Dao may not be suitable for you?”

Han Xuanji asked.

Yun Wuji did not hesitate and bowed again:

“What this Junior seeks is not to copy the Dao Venerable’s Dao, but to listen to the Dao Venerable’s insights into the essence of the Great Dao.”

“The Dao Venerable’s Dao is like an ocean. This Junior is willing to take just a ladleful to drink, integrating it into myself to illuminate my own path.”

“Moreover, this Junior firmly believes that receiving a bit of guidance from the Dao Venerable is better than groping in the dark for ten million years!”

His attitude was sincere, his thinking clear; he wasn’t blind and had his own opinions.

A flash of satisfaction crossed Han Xuanji’s eyes.

He remained silent for a moment as if considering, but in truth, he had already made a decision.

Regardless of Aptitude, Heart-Nature, or potential, Yun Wuji was an excellent candidate.

More importantly, his Comprehension Ability could be said to be quite a bit stronger than that of Nangong Wenjian, Lu Fan, and the others.

Even more precious was that he already had a very high starting point.

With a little guidance, he could make rapid progress and might become another pillar of support in the future.

“Very well.”

Han Xuanji finally nodded and said calmly:

“I have seen your sincerity. Today, I shall take you into my sect as my seventh Disciple.”

Upon hearing this, a massive wave of joy instantly washed away all of Yun Wuji’s tension.

Suppressing his excitement, he prostrated himself again in a grand salute:

“Disciple Yun Wuji pays respects to Master! Thank you, Master, for fulfilling my wish!”

“Since you have entered my gate, you must abide by my rules.”

Han Xuanji’s voice turned slightly solemn as he said:

“The rules are few: honor the Master and respect the Dao, love your fellow Disciples, cultivate the Great Dao diligently, and clarify your heart to see your true nature.”

“Do not bully the weak, and do not neglect your Daoist cultivation.”

“Can you do this?”

“This Disciple will surely follow the Master’s orders, strictly abide by the sect rules, and never dare to violate them!”

Yun Wuji’s oath was resonant.

There weren’t many sect rules, as Han Xuanji didn’t have many Disciples.

Furthermore, at this Realm, there was no need to force his Disciples to swear oaths; if one truly betrayed Han Xuanji, he could clean out the sect with a single thought.

“Good.”

Han Xuanji raised his hand slightly, and a gentle force lifted Yun Wuji up.

“Actually, I think most highly of your Aptitude. I hope that in the future, you can work together with your fellow Disciples to comprehend the Dao and stand alongside your teacher soon.”

Han Xuanji’s words were filled with the loneliness of a top expert.

This caused Yun Wuji to feel a strange sense of resonance.

He wanted to follow Han Xuanji and step into the supreme Realm of Chaos together.

“Yes! This Disciple will certainly help and love my Senior Brothers, study the Great Dao together, and share the Master’s burdens!”

Yun Wuji said firmly.

Han Xuanji nodded and spoke no more of sect rules, instead saying:

“Since you have entered my gate, you should understand my Dao. Come forward.”

Yun Wuji stepped forward a few paces as instructed and sat cross-legged on a Dao-comprehension Cushion several yards away from Han Xuanji.

He cleared his mind and stilled his thoughts, assuming a posture to listen to the Great Dao.

He knew that this was perhaps the greatest Opportunity of his cultivation career.

Han Xuanji did not begin his lecture immediately but pointed a finger.

No light flashed from his fingertip, but the space around Yun Wuji seemed to instantly become independent, turning into a hazy area that felt like a Daoist Realm between reality and illusion.

The scene of the external Dao Palace faded, leaving only endless currents of Chaos slowly circulating here, evolving into various scenes of the birth and death of the Great Dao.

“My Dao is named ‘Xuantian’.”

Han Xuanji’s voice rang out, no longer as simple words, but directly transforming into true words of the Great Dao.

They were etched into every inch of the Daoist Realm’s space and resonated directly in the depths of Yun Wuji’s Dao Heart.

“‘Xuan’ is profound and subtle, beyond measure; ‘Tian’ is supreme and vast, encompassing all things.”

“Xuantian takes the profound mystery of Chaos, accepts the vastness of the heavens, integrates the essence of ten thousand Daos, and achieves one’s own Limitless.”

As he spoke, the scenes within the lecture Realm began to change.
