Eternal Emperor's Path to Ascension-Chapter 274: Only In Troubled Times Do Heroes Emerge

When Wei Qiushan opened his eyes, he was dumbfounded to see people other than his contemporary master standing in the room. His cultivation base was still too low, although he could hide it well, he couldn't sense a person's cultivation if they surpassed him by a major realm or more.

He had seen the Golden Core elder before, so he was only slightly surprised to see him. Although the Sect Master had fordabe everyone from the sect to enter this room, the Golden Core elder probably entered because there was an urgent matter.

However, as his eyes landed on Yan Jingfei and Jian Qi beside her, his mind raced. Two strangers, why would they be allowed to enter the room?

Unless...their status or cultivation far surpassed his master's.

Seeing Wei Qiushan open his eyes, the old man immediately rushed towards him, a gentle smile appeared on his face as he asked in a enthusiastic tone, "Beloved disciple, did you succeed in stepping onto the path of Immortal Cultivation?"

Wei Qiushan immediately nodded, his expression yet he let a hint of excitement slip onto his face to still appear like a child.

"Yes, master. I'm now at the First Level of Acupoint Opening Stage." He answered in a childlike voice.

Watching his performance, Yan Jingfei's eyebrows twitched slightly before she suppressed it.

Good fellow, such an Immortal God, acting like a child, bah!

Jian Qi wouldn't lie to her for no reason. She had been with him these past few years and knew his character, not to mention he was her own junior brother and a being of great fortune. He could definitely see through Wei Qiushan's true cultivation because of the cultivation technique bestowed upon him by their master.

The fact that Wei Qiushan had not only already cultivated to the Third Stage of Qi Condensation Realm and even hid his cultivation so deeply meant only one thing.

He had regained his past life memories!

Yet, he was still acting like a child!

Even when Yan Jingfei knew this was pretty logical and reasonable, she couldn't look at the child before her the same way after getting the information that he was most likely a reincarnated celesital being.

She was conflicted. She couldn't take such a dangerous being back to the Eternal Peak without asking her master's opinion.

First, she had to communicate with her master before deciding on anything else.

...

At this moment, Tian Yongheng's clone, that was flying towards the Eastern Continent, was contacted by Yan Jingfei.

His main body was currently in seclusion, so Yan Jingfei's message directly reached the clone through the Symphony of Infinite Distance.

She explained the situation to him, and he just told her to do whatever she wants. She can accept him as a disciple if she wishes too.

Tian Yongheng wasn't afraid. He even had the reincarnation of one of the future successors of the Jade Heaven Monastery and a presumed Immortal Sovereign under his command in the Eternal Peak. What was there to be afraid of in the face of another reincarnated Immortal God?

After getting his approval, Yan Jingfei immediately approached Wei Qiushan, still maintaining a small distance as she asked, "Wei Qiushan, I see you have great talent. Are you willing to accept me as your master and become a third generation disciple of the Eternal Peak?"

Her voice was indifferent, and her face calm, giving off an aloof impression befitting of the eldest disciple of a major faction.

It was as if she didn't care, and even if Wei Qiushan rejected her, there would be many more Heavenly Spiritual Roots willing to accept her offer.

The Lightning Storm Sect Master had also explained the situation to Wei Qiushan when Yan Jingfei was communicating with Tian Yongheng's clone.

After knowing that the Eternal Peak was a newly risen major faction with a mysterious background and a ruler who was speculated to be the reincarnation of an ancient Immortal God, there was no reason for him to reject such a tempting offer.

Attachment to the Lightning Storm Sect?

It was basically nonexistent, specially in the face of recovering his cultivation more quickly.

He also didn't mind Yan Jingfei's previous cold tone. He was only a child now, revealing the cultivation of merely the First Level of Acupoint Opening Stage, no longer the magnificent Great Immortal from his past life.

Who would take a Heavenly Spiritual Root genius that had yet to grow so seriously?

Perhaps only those small low level forces. The Eternal Peak was different.

He immediately knelt down, bowing as he said, "Disciple greets the master!"

Seeing him like this, Yan Jingfei's heart stirred, her lips curling up slightly.

She couldn't help feeling a little prideful about taking in a Immortal God, although fallen, as a disciple.

"Alright, get up. Do you have anything else to do or are you ready to follow me back?"

There was no extravagant disciple acceptance ceremony. Unless it was to show off, most Immortal Cultivators didn't do such unnecessary things.

Hearing her words, Wei Qiushan shook his little head.

Nodding at his response, Yan Jingfei threw an exquisitely crafted token seal towards the Lightning Storm Sect Master, wrapped up both Jian Qi and Wei Qiushan with her Spiritual Energy, and left the room, leaving behind a few words:

"That's the token of the Eternal Peak. We are considered acquaintances now. It has my Spiritual Energy within it, and it can be activated a total of 3 times, equivalent to 3 full powered strikes of a cultivator in the later stages of Void Refinement Realm. I know this much is not enough and will definitely compensate you for this in the future. Thank you."

Following her words, a flying ship instantly emerged atop the Lightning Storm Sect before speeding away.

The Lightning Storm Sect Master just looked blankly in the direction Yan Jingfei left, throwing the token into his Storage Pouch before letting out a defeated sigh.

"Well, at least, the Lightning Storm Sect obtained the favor of the Eternal Peak. It won't be difficult to produce Nascent Soul Realm experts in the future."

He consoled himself, trying to shake off the loss of a talent that could lead the Lightning Storm Sect to extreme heights.

His Divine Sense scanned the entire sect. Aside from 3 or 4 Golden Core elders, the rest were out at the moment because of the Righteous-Demonic War happening in the Eastern Continent's borders. Although they were only logistics support in that war, they were pillars of the Lightning Storm Sect.

Suddenly, he found the hustle bustle of thousands of disciples in the sect a little empty.

...

4 years had passed since then.

Reports constantly came from the borders that powerful figures of the righteous path had joined the battle. freēwēbnovel.com

The Blade Saint had defected to the righteous path, and the top powerhouses of the demonic forces were severely injured due to the intervention of the Nine Extremities Sword Celestial, who was recognized as the most powerful Sword Cultivator in the world.

It was said that with a single sword stroke, he parted the sea across hundreds of thousands of miles, and several demonic forces' top tier beings above the Immortal Ascension Realm were scattered in all directions, while one of them directly had his physical body exploded, leaving behind only a nascent soul.

Geniuses emerged from all across the world, and a prodigy of the Great Shen Immortal Family's branch shocked all directions, slaying Immortal Ascension Realm experts while only being in the later stages of Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

The War God of Great Jiang Immortal Dynasty also joined the fray, annihilating over a hundred Tribulation Transcendence Realm pinnacle demonic cultivators and Demons who had besieged him, thinking his realm was still unstable after his recent breakthrough to the Immortal Ascension Realm.

The number one person of the current generation returned, becoming the center of attention, yet despite that, Wang Daoyun's reputation was still solid.

Confronted by a group of Tribulation Transcendence Realm peak cultivators and an Immortal Ascension Realm expert, he broke through on the spot, reaching the Ninth Stage of Tribulation Transcendence Realm himself before breaking the encirclement and killing the Immortal Ascension Realm expert.

The ninth and most incompetent young master of the Great Lin Immortal Family ridiculed by all emerged as a rising powerhouse, commanding an army of a hundred Spirit Beasts, every single one of them at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, while he himself was at the later stages of Tribulation Transcendence Realm, shocking the world.

The Great General of the Demon Subjugation Heavenly Alliance, Supreme Archer Lu Qingfeng, fought and won against 3 Nascent Soul Realm demonic cultivators while only being in the Void Refinement Realm himself.

Such stories continued to emerge from the warzone, filling the entire cultivation world with gasps and murmers.

The saying "Only in troubled times do heroes emerge" took a deep root in the hearts of many people, and all the taverns and inns across the entire world, be it mortals or Immortal Cultivators, were filled with these legendary tales of valor of the righteous path geniuses.

Meanwhile, in the Eternal Peak.

Tian Yongheng abruptly opened his eyes at this moment!
