Afterward, the Taiyi Immortal used the Immortal Dao Technique to replace the Muddy Method Spirit Venerable, intending to use his own body as a springboard to actively erode the Celestial Dao of Xianxia.
If it were merely a fall into the demonic path, it would be forgivable, but the Taiyi Immortal eroding the Celestial Dao of Xianxia with his own body as a medium was a complete betrayal.
I slew the Muddy Method Spirit Venerable in the Muddy Technique Forbidden Land and, tracing back to the source, found the Taiyi Immortal and struck him down with a single sword."
Jiang Zhiwei's words were understated, yet the truth and murderous intent embedded within them made Lu Yan feel a chill in his heart.
The ability to successively slay a This World's Only One and an ancient immortal suggests that Jiang Zhiwei's strength might be among the very top of True Immortals in the Xianxia version.
With all truths finally disclosed, Lu Yan felt no relief whatsoever.
After a moment of silence, Lu Yan finally asked the question that troubled him the most deeply.
"I want to know, why does the First True Disciple tell me so much?
I am merely a small Foundation Establishment Cultivator and should not warrant such attention from the First True Disciple."
"A small Foundation Establishment Cultivator?"
Jiang Zhiwei seemed to have heard the greatest joke in the world, laughing so hard that he doubled over, completely devoid of any celestial grace.
"To forge a Supreme Dao Foundation and nurture the Supreme Divine Techniques Seed, such a Foundation Establishment Cultivator is unmatched in the entire Cultivation Realm."
If it were before this conversation, Lu Yan might have been surprised at Jiang Zhiwei seeing through the Supreme Dao Foundation, but now Lu Yan was not surprised at all.
Even if the other party were to directly state the essence of Lu Yan being this world's only one, Lu Yan would only feel it was as expected and not be surprised in the slightest.
After a hearty laugh, Jiang Zhiwei spoke:
"I know you carry the karma of some old undying and seek immortality merely to settle this karma.
I can help you, but I also have a condition."
Lu Yan's expression immediately lit up with joy, and he hurriedly bowed and said, "If I can resolve the longevity turmoil, whatever the First True Disciple asks, just say it!"
He crossed several versions just to resolve the hidden dangers of the longevity version?
Now the opportunity was right before him; no matter the difficulty behind Jiang Zhiwei's condition, it was much better for Lu Yan than facing the strange longevity version head-on.
Jiang Zhiwei nodded with satisfaction, rubbing his chin as he asked:
"Do you know why each major sect trains True Disciple, even giving them treatment far exceeding other cultivators of the same realm?"
Lu Yan raised an eyebrow slightly; if anyone else were asking, he'd give the standard answer about training geniuses.
But facing Jiang Zhiwei, Lu Yan thought for a moment before revealing his previous speculation.
"Related to other versions?"
Jiang Zhiwei nodded in approval.
"Each major sect trains True Disciple under a hundred years old for a special version.
According to tradition, the True Successor Trials are also scheduled in advance to be held in that special version; however, this time I arranged the trials in advance for you.
I want you to help our side achieve ultimate victory in that special version; as payment, I can help resolve the hidden dangers you carry."
At this point, Jiang Zhiwei almost no longer concealed Lu Yan's ability to cross versions.
Lu Yan frowned, pondering for a moment, then spoke hesitantly:
"But I'm not sure when that version will appear..."
Jiang Zhiwei rolled his eyes, directly interrupting Lu Yan's explanation.
"I will prepare a medium for you; with your permission, you are fully qualified to enter that special version.
For this transaction, all you need to answer is whether you accept or not!" For more chapters visıt 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩
Confronted with Jiang Zhiwei, who saw through him entirely, Lu Yan felt that his little cautious thoughts were completely futile.
To think that the longevity version could discern Lu Yan's details across several versions, let alone Jiang Zhiwei, who was right before him?
But ultimately, it's just a special version; as long as there is no This World's Only One, Lu Yan still had some confidence.
At this point, Lu Yan no longer hesitated and straightforwardly responded:
"I choose to accept!"
Jiang Zhiwei looked as though a burden had been lifted from him, revealing a relieved smile.
"From today, you are the thirty-third True Disciple of the Taiyi Sect!"
As the words fell, with a wave of his hand, Lu Yan was directly transported out of the Ancestral Hall.
"You have half a month; after half a month, when the next version change begins, I will resolve the hidden dangers you carry.
Then, you can go to that special version."
The surrounding space kept changing, and when Lu Yan stood upright again, he realized he was no longer outside the dilapidated Ancestral Hall but in the starry sky above.
Looking around, among a vast starry sky, thirty-six stars representing the thirty-six True Successor Positions were lined up, reflecting a vast unending cosmos.
Among the stars representing the True Successor Positions, there were tattered straw meditation mats, luxurious thrones forged from Immortal Gold, and sedan chairs draped in Immortal Aura... but these strange True Successor Positions belonged to those who had already ascended to Divinity Transformation in the Taiyi Sect.
The True Successors who had not yet reached Divinity Transformation were each seated on meditation mats woven from some unknown gold thread, filled with the indescribable true resonance of the Dao.
Lu Yan saw that there was an empty spot in the thirty-third True Successor Position, and with a thought, he found himself at the thirty-third position, gently sitting down upon the gold-thread meditation mat.
In that instant, it seemed as if countless Dao resonances from this world enveloped his being, and Lu Yan even sensed an opportunity akin to that of the Cloud Sea Celestial Palace.
