第 1章 收徒

Chapter 1 Taking on Apprentices

When Ye Chen woke up, he found himself in the Nine Nether Continent. Before he could even figure out his situation, a system notification sounded in his mind, indicating that there was only one core mission—to take on disciples, prove his Dao through his disciples, and rise to power.

"Ding! A prodigy with a aptitude of 100 has been detected. Taking him as a disciple will unlock the [Supreme Emperor Weapon] awakening reward!"

"Ding! A peerless talent with a aptitude of 100 has been detected. You can receive a [Emperor-level Cultivation Technique] upon accepting him as your disciple!"

"bite!……"

Ever since taking on a disciple, Ye Chen's protective instincts have been off the charts. One day, upon hearing that someone dared to bully his disciple, his eyes turned cold: "Where is your sect?"

Before the words were even finished, a colossal cauldron, ten thousand feet tall, descended from the sky and smashed directly into the opponent's mountain gate. When the dust settled, the provocateur was completely dead.

Centuries later, legends about the "Heavenly Palace" circulated throughout the Nine Nether Continent, moving all who heard them:

"You're saying those saintly ancestors who have lived for countless ages are vying to join the Heavenly Palace? And they only want to be menial servants?"

"You're saying that a supreme rogue cultivator who once dominated a region, fought tooth and nail to get into the Heavenly Palace, only to end up guarding the gate?"

"You're saying that even quasi-emperors have to pull strings and beg to get into the Heavenly Palace, just to secure an elder position?"

"What's even more outrageous is that some people say there are as many saints as fish crossing a river in the Heavenly Palace, supreme beings are everywhere, and even the number of Great Emperors is more than the number of core disciples in our sect?"

叶尘一觉醒来，发现自己竟身处九幽大陆。还没等他理清处境，脑海里便响起系统提示音，核心任务只有一个——收徒，以徒证道，强势崛起。
 “叮！检测到资质100的天选之才，收徒即可解锁【极道帝兵】觉醒奖励！”
“叮！检测到资质100的绝世苗子，收徒可领取【帝级功法】一部！”
“叮！……”
 
自打收了徒弟，叶尘的护犊子属性直接拉满。某天听闻有人敢欺辱自家弟子，他眼神一冷：“你宗门在何处？”
话音未落，一尊万丈大鼎从天而降，直砸对方山门。烟尘散去，挑衅者已无半点生机。
 
数百年后，九幽大陆流传着关于“天宫”的传说，听者无不动容：
“你说那几位活了万古的圣人老祖，竟争相要加入天宫？而且只求当个杂役？”
“你说纵横一方的至尊散修，挤破头进天宫，最后只配守大门？”
“你说连准帝级别的强者，都要托关系求着进天宫，只为谋个长老之位？”
“更离谱的是，有人说天宫里圣人多如过江之鲫，至尊遍地可见，就连大帝强者的数量，都比咱们宗门的核心弟子还多？”
