A gentle breeze, filled with the imnse Spirit Qi and essence of heaven and earth, blew past, ruffling Tian Yongheng’s long, dark locks as he gazed indifferently at Qing Yunzi.
Qing Yunzi’s breath involuntarily hitched, pupils contracting sharply.
He had never seen such a handso man in his hundreds of thousands of years of existence!
And more importantly...
Qing Yunzi felt the boundless, suffocating aura quietly leaking from the figure sitting before him, looking as if even the collapse of the heavens couldn’t stir his emotions in the slightest.
That unfathomable, abyss like depth made Qing Yunzi’s soul tremble. He instinctively knew that the person, no, the Exalted Being in front of him could probably pinch him to death like a little chick with no ability to resist.
At that instant, Qing Yunzi knew he had made the correct choice.
Tian Yongheng gestured towards the spiritual wood chair in front of him, speaking calmly, "Sit."
Not delaying in the slightest, Qing Yunzi quickly sat down, cupping his fist before speaking respectfully, "This junior has long heard of the senior’s great reputation resounding across the mountains and seas, yet just reputation alone is indeed far inferior compared to seeing the senior’s Immortal-like bearing in person. That infinitely grand aura alone has surpassed all boundaries of mortality and is probably not weak even among the Immortal Gods, am I right, senior?"
Qing Yunzi was a straightforward person, with only the Sword Dao and cultivation in his heart, otherwise he wouldn’t have abandoned his own Dao Lineage and gone out to seek opportunities all those years ago.
Thus, these words ca from the depths of his heart, spoken with utmost sincerity.
Tian Yongheng paused at his words, not replying but asking in turn, "You wanted to beco my Sword-Bearing Apprentice and serve the Eternal Peak for the next 10,000 years?"
Qing Yunzi imdiately straightened his back upon hearing this, "Yes, as long as I can beco senior’s Sword-Bearing Apprentice and get a few pointers in the Sword Dao, I’m willing to serve the Eternal Peak for the next ten thousand years."
Sword-Bearing Apprentice, also known as a Sword Attendant, was a position similar in status to a Personal Disciple but required the Sword Attendant to keep their master’s sword by their side day and night, nourishing it with their Spiritual Energy to form a Sword Spirit while the master injects it with Sword Intent every now and then.
Although it may seem like a lucrative position, the conditions for constantly nourishing the sword are too harsh, greatly delaying one’s cultivation even if they have the assistance of an accomplished cultivator.
Of course, that is for low level cultivators.
For cultivators at the level of Qing Yunzi, this position was extrely desirable, specially being the Sword-Bearing Apprentice of a supre powerhouse like the Eternal Lord famous throughout the world, who might be a true Immortal God, just a single word from him was enough to benefit any Half Immortal endlessly.
What was rely injecting Spiritual Energy into a sword?
With his cultivation base, he could focus on dozsns of tasks at once without breaking a single sweat, this alone was nothing!
Tian Yongheng, on the other hand, pondered over Qing Yunzi’s words.
With a Half Immortal by his side, many things would beco easy, and he could have the other party do many tasks that he’s too lazy to attend to.
A Sword-Bearing Apprentice...
Tian Yongheng had many high level weapons, but none of them had Artifact Spirits, even the Primal Dao Sword did not have a Treasure Spirit.
It was mainly because to nurture a Spirit, the Dharma Artifact had to be nurtured with Intent and Spiritual Energy constantly for years depending on the Dharma Artifact’s level.
After thinking for a while, he finally ca to a conclusion.
The Primal Dao Sword couldn’t be nurtured into a Spirit, as it was his main weapon, and he would feel uneasy if it was not on him all the ti.
However, he could give the Immortal Slaying Stellar Sword to Qing Yunzi, and let it develop a Sword Spirit. With the Spirit nurtured, it could cultivate on its own and enhance its level.
"Alright, right now it’s not convenient, so I can’t give you my sword. I’ll give it to you after a few years, in the anti, you can familiarize yourself with the Eternal Peak mbers and announce your identity. No need to hold any extravagant ceremony or sothing like that." Finally, Tian Yongheng said to the expectant Qing Yunzi, much to the latter’s delight.
Qing Yunzi didn’t plan to hold any ceremony of sorts either, and he believed an accomplished cultivator such as the Eternal Lord held the sa thoughts as him.
Tian Yongheng didn’t say anymore, directly disappearing from the spot.
...
Outer Void, in the hidden depths of the starry sky.
A massive Void Aircraft shuttled through darkness, tearing apart fragnts of space from ti to ti, moving steadily towards one direction.
Inside the Void Aircraft, the Infinite Void Matriarch sat with her eyes closed, yet her Divine Sense constantly focused outside, controlling the aircraft.
The aircraft was extrely big, hundreds of miles in size, and all the Vagrant Immortals from that day were inside of it right now.
Their destination was the Second Great Mortal World.
"Recently, the already obscure heavenly secrets have beco even more blurry, my own karma seems to be in chaos, and the feeling of danger has risen to an alarming degree. Do you all feel it as well?"
Suddenly, the Infinite Void Matriarch’s voice bood in the ears of everyone present.
Hearing her words, everyone’s faces turned a bit solemn.
"Indeed, and my intuition tells to not go to the Second Great Mortal World."
"With our level of cultivation, it’s impossible for our sense of danger and intuition to be wrong. Could it be related to that little fellow in the Second Great Mortal World?"
As soon as soone pointed this out, the already tense atmosphere beca even more subtle.
"Alright, no need to think about this any further. We ca with the determination to die and can’t back out now."
The Infinite Void Matriarch’s calm, authoritative voice broke the silence, returning the tense atmosphere back to tranquility.
