Divine Light District, Spirit Peak Realm.
At this moment, while cultivating, Xu Ming suddenly received a notification from the Human Clan Artifact Spirit, Xiao Yue.
"Second Divine Lord of the Human Clan wants to see me?"
Hearing this message, Xu Ming’s face was full of doubt.
The Second Divine Lord of the Purple Star Divine Domain Human Clan, he who stepped onto the path of the sword and followed a path of invincibility ever since he began his cultivation journey.
He outshone the First Divine Lord and was the primary leader of the Human Clan to the outside world.
In battles against outside forces, eight or nine out of ten Seventh Realm powerhouses were slain by the Second Divine Lord.
In the most central area of the Purple Star Divine Domain, within a world emanating tremendous suggestions.
Xu Ming met the Second Divine Lord.
"From this day forward, you will be my third Direct Disciple."
A vast voice of Heavenly Dao, tinged with traces of Sword Intent, resonated beside Xu Ming’s ears.
In front of Xu Ming appeared the last crystal clear great sword.
"This sword contains the Sword Dao cultivation and insights I have comprehended throughout my life. If you carry it on your back, you should be able to advance to the Sixth Realm within a million years."
A man with an upright figure, dressed in a greenish-blue robe, approached Xu Ming, his face holding a hint of kinship.
"Second Divine Lord, I do not understand, please enlighten me." Xu Ming spoke respectfully.
It was favors like these, with unknown origins, that he felt uneasy to accept.
"Simply put, your brother has a great debt of gratitude to the Human Clan, and now, having no descendants, the Human Clan’s thanks to Xu Feng can only be conferred upon you."
"The moment you arrived, I sensed in your heart the most pure and concentrated Sword Intent. Although your talent is slightly lacking, it can be made up for later on."
"If you specialize in Sword Dao, maintaining this pure Sword Intent and the innocence of a child, you have hopes of advancing to the Seventh Realm and guarding this lineage of the Human Clan for your brother," said the Second Divine Lord to Xu Ming directly.
"Xu Ming pays respects to Master." Xu Ming performed the grand master-disciple salute.
"Prepare yourself. In three years, at the Human Clan’s Foundation Establishment Festival, a disciple induction ceremony will be held, and all the great Divine Lords of the Human Clan will attend."
The Second Divine Lord did not dis disciple who was thrust upon him.
One reason was out of respect for the First Divine Lord, and the other was Xu Feng’s future identity, which would be of great significance to both him and the Human Clan.
Therefore, the Second Divine Lord deemed this disciple to be of great importance.
"Everything will be per Master’s directives." Xu Ming saluted once more.
After he returned to the Spirit Peak Realm, he still felt somewhat dazzled and giddy.
Now he was especially curious about what his elder brother had done within the Hongmeng Dao Palace to warrant such regard from the Human Clan.
Meanwhile, he also shouldered the sword of Sword Dao comprehension bestowed upon him by the Second Divine Lord.
At the instant he shouldered that sword, as a cultivator of the Third Realm, he glimpsed the path of Sword Dao of the Fourth Realm.
"Father, what did the Second Divine Lord want with you?" Xu Yi curiously approached.
Xu Ming had shared the news with his family when he went to see the Second Divine Lord.
"Your uncle made a significant contribution to the Divine Domain Human Clan over at the Hongmeng Dao Palace."
"As a reward, the Second Divine Lord has taken me as his disciple."
"The Second Divine Lord taking you as a disciple!"
"A specialist in Sword Dao, a Seventh Realm powerhouse, the strongest in the Human Clan!" Xu Yi was shocked, then ecstatic.
"A great opportunity, Father, you must seize it."
"The Second Divine Lord’s first disciple now controls a branch of the Divine Domain as a Seventh Realm powerhouse."
"The second disciple is also a pinnacle Sixth Realm powerhouse."
"From this, it seems that the Second Divine Lord truly teaches his disciples."
"Later on, Father, show some spirit. Who knows, I might even become a top second-generation figure in the Divine Domain Human Clan," Xu Yi said with a beaming smile.
Hearing this, Xu Ming gave Xu Yi a slap on the head.
"Cheeky boy, since when is it your place to spur on your father?"
"No matter what, your father is still a Sixth Realm powerhouse."
"Alright, I must prepare myself, and strive to reach the Fourth Realm within three years, so that when I take on a mentor, it won’t look too embarrassing."
"It’s been such a long time, and you haven’t contributed any offspring to the Xu Family."
"If your granduncle returns after a million years and you still don’t have any descendants, be careful of being punished by him." Xu Ming glanced at his son.
"Having kids is troublesome; I plan to travel the entire Purple Star Divine Domain with Chu Xue before we have children," Xu Yi said.
"The affairs between you two should be discussed by yourselves."
Three years later, during the Foundation Establishment Festival celebration, the Second Divine Lord held a grand ceremony in honor of accepting Xu Ming as a disciple.
All the Divine Lords from the Divine Domain Human Clan attended.
Even the reclusive First Divine Lord arrived at the event, bringing the climax of the disciple induction ceremony.
Upon seeing the First Divine Lord, many of the powerful figures from the Human Clan realized that Xu Ming, the one being accepted as a disciple, must have a profound background and was certainly not someone they could afford to provoke.
In the Alchemy Area of the Hongmeng Dao Palace.
Xu Feng began his fourth lecture, with only seven thousand Xuanhuang Alchemists present.
Each one of them had understood more than twenty-five parts of the Xuanhuang Alchemy Great Scripture.
This group of Xuanhuang Alchemists was referred to in the Alchemy Area as prospective Hongmeng Alchemists.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please upload your questions and doubts to my Artifact Spirit; I will synthesize and use them as the basis for my lecture."
As soon as Xu Feng finished speaking, a red-skinned alchemist from an Alien Race stood up.
"I dare to ask Xu Dao-friend, how many parts of the Xuanhuang Alchemy Great Scripture have you contemplated?"
There was a hint of challenge in his voice.
"I have a minor understanding of thirty-five parts of the Xuanhuang Alchemy Great Scripture," Xu Feng responded, nonchalantly.
The many Xuanhuang Alchemists below were shocked and then remembered various legends.
If they were a group of mountain climbers who had passed the halfway point and were about to see the peak,
Then Xu Feng at this moment was like someone standing above the clouds, overlooking all the mountains, incomparable to them.
"Xu Dao-friend, pardon my presumption," the red-skinned alchemist from the Alien Race sat down.
All the Alien Race Xuanhuang Alchemists were quickly communicating with their Divine Thought, all wearing expressions as if they had gotten a major bargain.
To them, six Contribution Points were less than the cost of an ordinary meal out.
"Very well, let us begin the lecture."
A hundred years later, the Xuanhuang Alchemists dispersed from the Daoist Field.
Xu Feng checked his Contribution Points.
"I now have 190,000, just 130,000 short; there’s no rush, take it slowly."
During this time, he was giving lectures and studying the rules of the Hongmeng Dao Palace.
He discovered that this place was indeed the core area of many regions returning to their origins.
Whether it was any kind of Hongmeng Divine Artifact or Spirit Root, as long as it had a name, it could be found here.
Moreover, this place gathered resources from the Primordial Region in the millions.
Some items that were rarely seen in the Primordial Region could be found readily in the Hongmeng Dao Palace, and their prices seemed quite reasonable in Xu Feng’s eyes.
Additionally, Xu Feng discovered the most attractive aspect of the Hongmeng Dao Palace.
That was the method for breaking through realms that matched the Chaos Wan Dao.
Just like a Xuanhuang Alchemist who has contemplated up to the twenty-eighth part of the Xuanhuang Alchemy Great Scripture.
To advance further, there would be corresponding Secret Realm methods for leveling up.
Or other ways to break through Dao realms.
It can be said that as long as one can earn Contribution Points here, even an utterly untalented mortal could become a top-notch powerhouse through Contribution Points.
While Xu Feng’s thoughts were diverging, he received a message from Silver Horn.
This lecture was too high-end for Silver Horn to understand, so while Xu Feng was lecturing, Silver Horn was in seclusion outside, contemplating the Alchemy Dao.
