Early in the morning, the golden morning light passed through the morning glow that dyed half the sky red and passed through the many array formations above the island, scattering on the magnificent halls in the headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion.
Dong!
Dong!
Dong!
Suddenly, a melodious bell-like sound came from the floating main Spirit Peak that was rolling in the sea of clouds. This sound almost instantly covered the entire island and sounded in the ears of every cultivator in the various main halls and pavilions.
All the cultivators who were either in seclusion, cultivating, or studying techniques raised their eyes in unison and looked at the source of the bell.
“In three days, the Personal Disciple Ceremony will officially begin! Other than those who are in seclusion, everyone must attend the ceremony.” The moment the bell stopped ringing, a dignified and calm voice rumbled in the sky.
When rhe sea of clouds returned to calm, the members of the various halls immediately became excited.
“Our True Treasure Pavilion is finally going to have a true disciple of the head hall!”
“That’s right. In terms of foundation and strength, the other sects and factions of the Zhongsheng Continent are weaker than our True Treasure Pavilion. However, after so many years, no core disciple has been able to inherit the Beast Scripture and become the true disciple of the Head Hall. Now, it’s finally bom.”
“Half a year ago, when Talisman Master Shen succeeded in Core Formation, there was news about this. At that time, many Fellow Daoists guessed that Talisman Master Shen’s core had nine patterns. Unfortunately, it was never confirmed. The Personal Disciple Ceremony is about to be held. It’s said that Talisman Master Shen’s puppet technique is still at the basic level. It’s obvious that his core pattern must be nine patterns!”
“That’s right. Only a Nine-Patterned Golden Core can directly let Talisman Master Shen become a true disciple.”
“Speaking of which, Talisman Master Shen entered the headquarters for less than three years, but in the blink of an eye, he became the personal disciple of the Head Hall Master. Thinking about it carefully, it’s really unbelievable.” Most cultivators were looking forward to the Personal Disciple Ceremony. Very few people questioned anything. After all, although Shen Ping was only at the Golden Core realm, his dazzling talent was too monstrous. Even the top ten core members of the Glory Ranking could only look up to him.
Furthermore, he had soaked in the Beast Spirit Pool for more than a year, which undoubtedly proved that his cultivation talent was extraordinary. Therefore, when Shen Ping became a personal disciple, many cultivators, including rhe high-level elders of the various halls, and even the hall masters, were sincerely convinced.
Mountain Eire Hall.
It was different from the other halls.
After hearing the details of the Personal Disciple Ceremony, Li Yin and the other core members of the Hall felt honored. Even the Talisman Master Jing Yu, who had competed with Shen Ping, felt a trace of pride in his heart. No matter what, he had competed with the personal disciple of the Head Hall.
At the entrance of the Fire Spirit Hall.
Wang Yuanming looked at the broad figure that walked out and hurriedly walked forward respectfully. “Personal Disciple Shen, the Hall Master has instructed me to come and ask if you have any requests during the ceremony.” The corners of Shen Ping s mouth twitched. “Deacon Wang, there’s no need to be so polite. Although I’ve become a personal disciple, the ceremony hasn’t been held yet. Just call me Talisman Master Shen as usual.”
Deacon Wang shook his head. “You can’t abandon your etiquette.11
Shen Ping was speechless. Looking at Wang Yuanming’s persistent face, he could only let him call him Personal Disciple Shen respectfully. After pondering for a moment, he continued to ask, “What exactly is this request?”
Deacon Wang said seriously, “The Personal Disciple Ceremony is the grandest day of our True Treasure Pavilion. The other members have to be uniformly equipped. Originally, there were also specific clothes and carriages for you, but the Head Hall Master sent a message that she wants you to personally choose suitable clothes. Also…”
The etiquette involved in the ceremony was more complicated. Many procedures and dress codes had specifications. At that time, nor only would there be members from the halls, pavilions, boats, and other top sects in the Zhongsheng Continent, but the upper echelons of the powerful sects would also lead teams to watch the ceremony.
Initially, Shen Ping could only listen to the arrangements. However, it was obvious that the Head Hall Master valued him more, so he was given a certain choice.
After knowing this, Shen Ping could not help bur feel grateful. He had only seen the Head Hall Master twice, but the other party’s attitude was like a gentle elder, making him respectable. “Deacon Wang, I wonder what style of clothes a personal disciple wears?”
“There’s the Treasure Round Purple Insignia Mystic Clothes, the Qilin Soft Armor, the Green Day Spirit Treasure Clothes…” Deacon Wang waved his sleeve as he spoke. His magic power clearly reflected all kinds of clothes. Among them, there were also female cultivators’ embroidered pink brocade and skirts.
Seeing Shen Ping’s puzzled expression, Deacon Wang smiled and said, “On the day of the Personal Disciple Ceremony, your wife, concubine, and Dao companions will naturally accompany you. At thar time, they just have to stay in the carriage and watch the ceremony.”
Shen Ping was stunned and could not help but ask, “Is this permitted by the Head Hall Master?’1
He could bring his wife, concubine, and Dao companions to the Foundation Establishment Banquet. However, this was the True Treasure Pavilion’s Personal Disciple Ceremony!
It was such a grand day. His wife, concubine, and Dao companions were only at the Foundation Establishment realm. Even if he wanted to bring them to such a grand ceremony, he knew how difficult it was.
However, he did not expect Deacon Wang to have even prepared the clothes of his wife, concubine, and Dao companions.
Deacon Wang nodded and said in a low voice, “There has never been a precedent for the Personal Disciple Ceremony of the other top sects and factions in the Zhongsheng Continent. I heard from the Hall Master that this matter has caused a lot of controversy in the main hall. It’s mainly because your wife and concubine’s cultivation level is too low. Under normal circumstances, they don’t even have the right to watch the ceremony. However, the Head Hall Master is against all opinions. This shows how much she values you!”
Shen Ping took a deep breath. “Later, I’ll personally make a trip to the main hall.11
Deacon Wang’s smile widened. He handed Shen Ping a jade slip and continued, “There are detailed procedures for the ceremony inside. As for clothes and accessories, you can choose slowly. You just have to choose one day before the ceremony..”
