Chapter 696: accepting disciples
Translator: Dragon Boat TranslationEditor: Dragon Boat Translation
Next, Chen Chen auctioned off another batch of treasures. This time, he didn’t hold back and took a lot of immortal stones and other things.
These things were useless in the hands of the cultivators of the Abyss world, so these people weren’t stingy with their bids. They would often give away all their reserves in exchange for a treasure.
The auction lasted for about four hours. The dozens of jade boxes around Chen Chen gradually decreased, and in the end, not a single one was left.
After participating in the auction, most of the cultivators of the Abyss World showed satisfaction on their faces. Even those who didn’t have much of a foundation to bid for it looked like they still wanted more.
Although they couldn’t buy any treasures, it was good to see the world.
After sending off the group of cultivators of the Holy Region, many cultivators of small sects and itinerant cultivators weren’t in a hurry to leave.
They still remembered that this master turtle wanted to recruit a wide range of disciples.
Now that they had seen master turtle’s astonishing wealth, they naturally wanted to join the divine turtle sanctum.
As the saying goes, it was good to enjoy the shade under a big tree. Master Turtle was a big tree, and this big tree was very generous.
Looking at the more than three hundred cultivators who hadn’t left, Chen Chen smiled indifferently.
The Netherworld Realm’s saint realm could not expand its power without restraint. Therefore, leaving aside the saint realm, there were still a large number of experts in the Netherworld realm.
After all, the saint realm was only a thousand miles big. It was the limit to have five or six Mahayana in such a big place. More cultivation resources were simply not enough.
In other words, the Netherworld Realm’s saint realm only had about a hundred or so Mahayana.
What about the remaining Mahayana? They could only rely on themselves to establish their own sects.
It was not that they did not want to join the Holy Region, but the holy region could not accommodate them.
There were probably hundreds of such Mahayana in the entire Hades world.
It should not be difficult for him to find a few trusted subordinates.
A group of cultivators below saw that Chen Chen had not spoken, and a bold middle-aged male cultivator spoke first.
“Senior, you said that you want to recruit disciples. What kind of conditions do you need?”
Chen Chen looked at the cultivator.
This person was in the early stage of the Mahayana realm. He wore gray clothes and looked very ordinary. However, there was a confidence that far surpassed that of an ordinary cultivator between his brows.
“What kind of conditions do you think I need?”
Chen Chen smiled and asked.
The eyes of the middle-aged cultivator flashed. Then, he actually knelt down on one knee on the ground in front of everyone and said in an unusually firm tone, “This subordinate is willing to follow senior by your side!
I will never have a second heart in this life!”
After saying this, the middle-aged cultivator pointed to the sky and actually made an extremely strict oath.
Chen Chen looked at the middle-aged cultivator in surprise. This person’s intelligence was somewhat beyond his expectations.
Right now, his identity to the outside world was that of an immortal who had descended to the lower realm. An immortal was an immortal, but in the end, he was not a cultivator of the abyss world. It was inevitable that
there would be a gap between him and a cultivator of the abyss world.
Therefore, if he wanted to take in disciples, he would definitely value the word ‘loyalty’the most.
As for other talents, they were not important. Those who could cultivate to the Mahayana stage were all talented.
“What’s Your Name?”Chen Chen looked deeply at the middle-aged cultivator and asked.
“T’m Yan Gui, an itinerant cultivator.”
The middle-aged cultivator replied respectfully.
“You can get up. From now on, you can stay in the holy region of the Divine Turtle,”Chen Chen instructed.
Yan Gui stood up when he heard that and calmly retreated to the side.
Chen Chen could not help but smile and shake his head when he saw that. The communication between smart people was that simple. They could even know what each other needed with just a glance.
When the other cultivators saw that Yan Gui had joined the sacred turtle territory so easily, they all followed suit and knelt down in the main hall.
At this time, Chen Chen waved his hand and said, “Yan Gui, pick fifty cultivators who are willing to serve me and join the divine turtle sanctum. As for the Mahayana realm cultivators, there’s no hurry.”
After saying that, Chen Chen flew out of the hall and didn’t look at those cultivators again.
“Yes, sir.”Yan Gui cupped his hands and looked very serious.
He knew that this was a test for him by the Master of the divine turtle sanctum. If he chose well, he would get an important position in the future. If he didn’t choose well, he might have to be a hired thug.
Seven days later, some details of the sacred ceremony of the divine turtle sanctum had spread throughout the entire abyss world.
Almost all the top experts knew that the master of the divine turtle sanctum was not only powerful, but also had a very good character and a very rich background,
on this day, Chen Chen was in his cultivation room, holding a jade slip in his hand.
It recorded the Mahayana cultivators who were interested in joining the divine turtle sanctum in the abyss world.
There were more than thirty of them, including two late-stage Mahayana cultivators. It had only been seven days.
“It would be great if I could take all of them.”
Chen Chen sighed in his heart, but he knew that it was unrealistic.
At the Mahayana realm, it was no longer useful to stay in closed-door cultivation. He could not take all of them and throw them into the yin-yang palace. As for expanding the divine turtle sanctum, he did not have the
courage.
“Yan Gui, have you collected the detailed information of the Mahayana realm?”
Chen Chen sent a voice transmission, and not long after, he received a reply from Yan Gui.
“I’m collecting it now. But senior, one of them is absolutely trustworthy. That person is of the same generation as my grandfather’s grandfather. His name is Yan Chen. He came here because he saw that I had joined the
divine turtle sanctum.”
Chen Chen checked the jade slip again. Yan Chen was one of the two late-stage Mahayana realm cultivators.
He had a certain understanding of why the Yan family had so many Mahayana realm cultivators.
Although Yan Gui was an itinerant cultivator, his ancestors were very famous. They had a sage king before. However, the sage king suddenly ascended. After that, the sanctum was abolished, and the Yan family
gradually declined.
However, a lean camel was still bigger than a horse. After the holy region was abolished, the Yan clan still had a few experts. Yan Gui was the descendant of these experts.
“Your Great-uncle’s strength is not bad. He is in the late stage of the great vehicle stage, and can be considered a top expert in the Abyss World.”
Chen Chen said indifferently.
Actually, in his heart, he didn’t want a small group to appear under his control. However, Yan Gui was extremely useful. If his great-uncle was also useful, then the matter of a small group wouldn’t be so important.
“Senior, you don’t know. My Great-uncle was born at the peak of our Yan clan. He was once a saint realm cultivator. Later, when the Saint realm was disbanded, he didn’t want to live under someone else’s roof, so he
has been a rogue cultivator until today. In fact, over the past tens of thousands of years, many Saint Kings have invited him.”
Hearing this, Chen Chen’s interest was piqued. “So he’s considered an expert in the late stage of the Mahayana realm? Then why is he willing to join the Divine Turtle Saint Realm?”
“Senior, you must be joking. You are an immortal. You are different from those sacred kings. Those sacred kings can’t even compare to our Yan clan’s ancestor. If great uncle were to submit to them, wouldn’t it be a
disgrace to our Yan clan’s ancestor?”
Hearing this, Chen Chen didn’t say anything. This logic was a little far-fetched, but it wasn’t completely unreasonable.
The status of an immortal was indeed higher than any cultivator of the abyss world.
erhaps it was because of this that Yan Gui did not hesitate to pledge his loyalty to him that day.
it seemed that he had underestimated the influence of the status of an immortal.
