Chapter 1 First Disciple

Jiang Xuan wasn't without experience in accepting disciples. Of course, this experience came from his other selves in other worlds. For example, Jiang Xuan of the Confucian world accepted a disciple after the forum gathering.

And then there was Jiang Xuan of the Martial Universe, who was originally the lord of a power. Although he didn't have many disciples, he had two. He had long had a set of principles for accepting and teaching disciples.

Therefore, although this was his first time accepting a disciple, he was not unfamiliar with these procedures.

"My title is Taixuan. From now on, you will be my senior disciple."

Jiang Xuan said after Yun Qingyan completed the apprenticeship ceremony.

"Yes, Master!"

Yun Qingyan didn't expect that she would actually be the senior disciple. After all, in her mind, existences like this had lived for who knows how long, and must have countless disciples. She didn't expect that things were completely different with Jiang Xuan.

Of course, now that she had become a disciple, she would naturally respect this Master with all her heart.

"Congratulations, Senior, on accepting such a fine disciple!"

"Congratulations, Senior, on accepting such a fine disciple!"

...

The powerhouses of the distant major forces congratulated him one after another. This was a Celestial Immortal accepting a disciple. Even if it had nothing to do with them, it was always right to say a few flattering words. Being able to obtain the goodwill of a Celestial Immortal was a great blessing for them.

"Mm."

Jiang Xuan nodded calmly, then looked at Yun Qingyan and said, "Is there anything else to deal with? If not, then come with me."

"Reporting to Master, this disciple has nothing else, but Xiaoyu, she…"

Yun Qingyan hesitated. Xiaoyu was standing with her, but from Jiang Xuan's words, it seemed he wouldn't take her along. However, in the current situation, she couldn't bear to leave Xiaoyu alone.

Jiang Xuan didn't ask for details, but he already understood her meaning. He looked at Xiaoyu and asked, "Which immortal sect do you belong to?"

"Snow… Snow Goddess Sect."

The little girl was quite frightened. Before, she had even wanted to berate Jiang Xuan. Now, she was afraid that Jiang Xuan would find out, and then she would be finished.

Jiang Xuan turned his head and looked into the distance. "Is there anyone from the Snow Goddess Sect here?"

After he spoke, a figure hurriedly came out. It was a middle-aged woman with the strength of a perfected Nascent Soul. She bowed respectfully to Jiang Xuan from afar and said, "Junior, Snow Goddess Sect Master Xue Qing, greets Senior."

"Mm." Jiang Xuan nodded, and with a wave of his hand, Xiaoyu's body flew out uncontrollably and landed beside Xue Qing.

"From now on, she will be a true disciple of your Snow Goddess Sect, is that acceptable?" Jiang Xuan said. In order to reassure his disciple, he directly used his influence to pressure them.

"Senior's words are naturally to be obeyed by the Snow Goddess Sect." In fact, even without Jiang Xuan saying so, Xue Qing had the same idea. Yun Qingyan could still remember Xiaoyu after becoming a disciple, which proved that the two had a very good relationship. In the future, she might be able to contact Yun Qingyan through Xiaoyu. This was a rare opportunity.

"Good."

Jiang Xuan nodded, and with a flick of his right finger, a stream of light flew out and directly merged into Xue Qing's mind.

It was a Pure Yang-level Qi refining method. Jiang Xuan couldn't easily pass on the techniques he obtained from the Dao Ancestor's dojo, but he had previously killed many Loose Immortals and Earth Immortals who were great sinners. They had many techniques, and some had profound foundations, possessing Pure Yang-level Qi refining methods.

Of course, Qi refining methods in the Three Realms were not valuable. Immortal-grade Qi refining methods could be found in any sect with an Earth Immortal. Although the value of Pure Yang-level methods was much higher, they were still quite common. Otherwise, they wouldn't have fallen into the hands of Loose Immortals and Earth Immortals.

Of course, they were useless to Jiang Xuan. He cultivated Ancestral Immortal-level techniques. Pure Yang-level techniques could be used as rewards, just like this time. It could be considered fulfilling his disciple's first wish.

"Thank you, Senior, for the generous gift!"

After receiving the method, Xue Qing thanked him excitedly. That was a Pure Yang-level technique. Even if there was only one, it was suitable for the Snow Goddess Sect and could raise its strength to a higher level.

Moreover, this was bestowed by a Celestial Immortal. And their Snow Goddess Sect had a Celestial Immortal's friend. Who would dare to snatch it?

"Let's go."

Jiang Xuan took Yun Qingyan and stepped out. The world turned upside down, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared from Yanshan City.

...

Shennong Dojo. After a lapse of two years, Jiang Xuan returned again. But he was different now. He was a Celestial Immortal, and his true strength was no less than a True Immortal!

As soon as Jiang Xuan returned to the dojo, he immediately received a message from Old Ancestor Shennong, asking him to arrange things for Ao Yu and Yun Qingyan before going to the Human Emperor Hall to see him.

Jiang Xuan didn't delay any longer. He immediately went to the Hundred Herbs Hall. After he left the Lieshan Courtyard, Fairy Qingfan had designated an area near the Hundred Herbs Hall for him to use as his immortal mansion. Youzhu and the others had already moved here.

After entering his immortal mansion, he saw Youzhu and the others.

"Your Highness!"

They were no longer the small Vientiane cultivators they once were. Each of them had extraordinary vision and had seen many Celestial Immortal Ancestors. When they saw Jiang Xuan, they naturally noticed the immortal aura on his body.

"Mm, I successfully transcended the tribulation."

Jiang Xuan smiled, but he didn't say that this was his second primordial spirit. It was best to keep his true self hidden. The most important goal of his true self now was to transcend the tribulation.

"A Celestial Immortal Ancestor under the age of thirty!"

Fairy Youzhu exclaimed. Jiang Miao and Jiang Lian were also filled with shock. A Celestial Immortal under the age of thirty? What kind of concept was this? It was simply unheard of!

"Your Highness is indeed extraordinary!"

Wenren Meng, one of his followers, also marveled. Even though she had long been sincerely convinced of Jiang Xuan's strength, she couldn't help but be shocked when she learned that Jiang Xuan had successfully transcended the tribulation.

They were basically of the same generation, with an age difference of less than ten years. They were already considered gifted to have become Nascent Soul Daoists, but they seemed too powerless in front of Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan chuckled, then waved his hand. Two figures appeared beside him, Ao Yu and Yun Qingyan.

At the same time, he looked at Youzhu and said, "Sister Youzhu, this is my follower Ao Yu. He is already a Celestial Immortal. You can ask him if you have any questions in the future."

"A Celestial Immortal following Your Highness?!"

This was equally shocking. Even if Jiang Xuan had successfully transcended the tribulation immediately after leaving the dojo, it had been less than two years. To be able to have a Celestial Immortal follow him was truly amazing. However, they didn't know that Ao Yu had offered himself, willing to become Jiang Xuan's follower in order to go further in the future.

"And this is Yun Qingyan, a disciple I recently accepted. From now on, she will also live in the dojo." Jiang Xuan pointed to Yun Qingyan. Seeing Yun Qingyan, who was only at the Violet Palace Realm, they also noticed the abnormality. When they probed with their divine senses, they discovered Yun Qingyan's hundred-zhang merit light.

"She's actually a person of great merit. No wonder she was accepted as a disciple by Your Highness." They naturally knew about people of great merit, but this was the first time they had seen merit light exceeding a hundred zhang.

After all, they didn't dare to probe the Celestial Immortals and True Immortals in the dojo with their divine senses. And among those below Celestial Immortal, who could have merit like Yun Qingyan?

"Sister Youzhu, take Ao Yu and Qingyan to familiarize themselves with the dojo. I need to go to see the Dao Ancestor." Jiang Xuan said to Fairy Youzhu. Among his followers, he had always trusted Fairy Youzhu the most. Now, Fairy Youzhu was basically the steward of his immortal mansion.

"Alright, Your Highness, go ahead." Youzhu smiled gently. She knew that Jiang Xuan trusted her, so she had always managed the immortal mansion very well.

"Mm."

Jiang Xuan responded, then left directly. After all, he didn't dare to neglect the Dao Ancestor's summons. What's more, he was still a little uncomfortable seeing Fairy Youzhu now.

After all, they had been Daoist partners for 30,000 years in the Heart Demon World, and they had done everything they should have done. If the Heart Demon World was a reflection of reality, it was really… he didn't know what to say.

However, when Jiang Xuan arrived at the Human Emperor Hall, he saw another person he didn't want to see, his Medicine Dao Master, Fairy Qingfan!

Clearly, she had arrived before Jiang Xuan. However, it wasn't just her here. There were also many Celestial Gods and True Immortals, all famous powerhouses of the Shennong lineage. He even saw the Heavenly Decree Human Emperor.

Besides them, there were also several ethereal figures, but they were not their true bodies, merely incarnations.

Of course, at the highest point of the Human Emperor Hall, Old Ancestor Shennong was sitting cross-legged, the sound of Dao resonating like heavenly music. Vast vitality filled the entire hall, and all the immortals and gods could feel that sacred aura.

"Disciple Jiang Xuan greets Old Ancestor and all seniors."

At this moment, Jiang Xuan experienced the disadvantage of having a low seniority. It was indeed very troublesome at such gatherings.

"Mm, Little Xuan, I didn't expect that you would successfully transcend the tribulation in less than two years." Old Ancestor Shennong said to Jiang Xuan with a smile. It was he who had handed Jiang Xuan over to Dao Ancestor Bodhi, but even he hadn't expected that Jiang Xuan would succeed in transcending the tribulation in less than two years.

"It was just luck. I almost died in the heavenly tribulation." Jiang Xuan said modestly. Although he was very strong now, he was still not strong enough. Moreover, these were all seniors, so it was better to be low-key.

"Hahaha, you don't have to be so modest. To be able to transcend the tribulation and become an immortal at such a young age is truly rare, even throughout the long years." Old Ancestor Shennong laughed.

The Three Realms were not without geniuses comparable to Jiang Xuan. As far as Jiang Xuan knew, the ninth senior brother under Dao Ancestor Bodhi was an unparalleled genius.

Comprehending a complete minor Dao in one night, defeating a ninth-order puppet in one year, going from a mortal to defeating a ninth-order puppet that even Celestial Immortals found difficult to defeat, all in just one year. That kind of talent was truly terrifying.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. I called you here this time because I have something to ask you." After joking for a moment, Old Ancestor Shennong became serious.

"Old Ancestor, please speak." Jiang Xuan responded respectfully.

"You may already know that the Six Paths of Reincarnation have collapsed. However, the living beings in the Three Realms are countless. Without reincarnation, there will be great chaos." When Old Ancestor Shennong said this, there was a hint of sternness in his eyes. Those who attacked the Six Paths of Reincarnation, destroying the balance of the Three Realms and attempting to trigger a great war were truly unforgivable!

"It is precisely because of this that we Dao Ancestors have established realm-specific reincarnations in our respective realms. We then selected Celestial Immortals from each realm to serve as Kings of Hell. Nine King of Hell positions have already been established. Seeing that you have returned to the dojo, I would like to ask you if you are willing to be the King of Hell for my Shennong Realm?"

Jiang Xuan was stunned, but immediately bowed and said, "This disciple is willing to serve as the King of Hell."

Leaving aside the special nature of the King of Hell's position, the mere fact that it involved the rules of reincarnation was enough to make Jiang Xuan want to go.
