In the ancestral hall of the mortuary, Ling Xiao curiously asked Ninth Uncle, who was offering incense to the ancestral master.
After he and Qiusheng returned, Ninth Uncle, who had just returned, asked the two of them to come to the ancestral hall.
He seemed to have something important to say.
"Ling Xiao, I've adopted you for 15 years, and I've been teaching you cultivation techniques for a full 10 years. Now that your strength has reached the Earthly Adept Rank, it's time for you to officially become a disciple of Mao Mountain!”
Ninth Uncle slowly turned around and looked at Ling Xiao solemnly.
"Let Eldest Senior Brother officially become a disciple of Mao Mountain!？”
Qiu Sheng was stunned. Was Eldest Senior Brother still not a disciple of Mao Mountain?
"Although you, Wen Cai, and Qiu Sheng are all my disciples, they can only be considered my in-name disciples.
" Not only is there no record of you in Mao Mountain, but the founder has also not acknowledged your status. Therefore, strictly speaking, you are not considered disciples of Mao Mountain!”
Uncle Nine explained when he saw Qiu Sheng's confusion.
Ling Xiao nodded slightly. He did not really understand this point, and Ninth Uncle did not mention it too much.
Then, Ninth Uncle continued to explain.
"If you want to become an official disciple of Mao Mountain, there are three ways!”
" The first method is to go to Mao Mountain when you have no foundation. You can join Mao Mountain after passing the talent test. However, to become a real Taoist priest of Mao Mountain, you need to be at the Earthly Master Realm. This is how your master entered Mao Mountain.”
Ninth Uncle reminisced a little.
The time back then could be said to be the most precious time of his life.
"Master, what about us disciples who have never been to Mao Mountain?？”
Qiu Sheng was curious.
"Then we'll have to talk about the second and third methods. Disciples like you will be called Mao Mountain Branch Disciples. Of course, even if you obtain the title of Branch Disciple, you will have to reach the Earthly Master Realm.
"In other words, your Eldest Senior Brother has already reached this standard. As long as you ask the ancestor, your Eldest Senior Brother's name will be recorded in the Mao Mountain's register and you will become a true Taoist of Mao Mountain!
" He's the only one in hundreds of years to become a true disciple of Mao Mountain at the age of fifteen. With such talent, he might even have the chance to become a Heavenly Master in the future and become the head of Mao Mountain. He'll be the one to lead Mao Mountain!”
Ninth Uncle looked at Ling Xiao with pride.
"Hiss! Eldest Brother became the sect master of Mao Mountain? Wouldn't we be rich too?"
Qiu Sheng looked at Ling Xiao enviously when he heard Ninth Uncle's words.、
Mao Mountain's Chief was the Sect Leader of Mao Mountain. He was really awesome.
"Master, you must be joking. The Mao Mountain's master has extremely strict requirements. It's almost impossible for me, who cultivates the Corpse Nurturing lineage!”
However, Ling Xiao smiled helplessly.
Ninth Uncle also sighed when he heard his words. That's right. Those who cultivated the Corpse Cultivation lineage were already suspected by many, especially a genius like Ling Xiao who had such a terrifying speed of improvement.
If word got out, no one would believe that Ling Xiao had not fallen into evil.
"Let's not talk about this for now. I'll talk about the last method. The third method is the only one that can be recorded in our Mao Mountain's register without becoming an Earth Master.
Every year, in the middle of July, which is the Ghost Festival, the Maoshan Sect will hold a ceremony to worship our ancestors. On that day, the Gate of the Dead will be opened. Therefore, those ancestors in the Nether World can return to the Maoshan Mountain through the secret method of the Maoshan Mountain.
"As long as any of the ancestors who had reached the level of a heavenly master when they were alive acknowledge you, you can directly enter Mao Mountain and become a disciple of Mao Mountain.
And this ancestral worship ceremony, regardless of whether it was the branch family disciples or the main family disciples, they could all participate.
Of course, it was extremely difficult to gain the recognition of the founder.
" Only two disciples from our batch have been recognized. One of them is my Eldest Senior Brother Shi Jian. Because he has awakened the Lightning Attribute Celestiality, he has been recognized by the founder and became the first official disciple to enter the Mao Mountain List.
Later on, he even became the chief senior brother of Mao Mountain, the successor of the sect master!”
Ninth Uncle slowly explained to the two of them.
"So that's how senior brother Shi Jian came about!”
Ling Xiao was enlightened when he heard that.
"Master, didn't you say that there were two people in your batch who were recognized by the ancestor? What about the other person?"
Qiu Sheng asked curiously.
"The second one who has been recognized is naturally your master. This horsetail whisk was given to me by your ancestor.”
However, after hearing Qiu Sheng's words, Ninth Uncle immediately raised his head and spoke proudly.
At the same time, he pointed at the horsetail whisk on the statue and said.
"It's actually you, Master? Master Shi Jian has the power of the thunder element, what do you have!？”
Qiu Sheng was excited when he heard Ninth Uncle's words.
Ninth Uncle smiled after hearing Qiu Sheng's words.
"That's my life-saving trump card. You'll have a chance to see it in the future!”
Ninth Uncle said mysteriously.
Not only was Qiu Sheng curious about his words, but even Ling Xiao was puzzled. Ninth Uncle actually wanted to keep it for himself?
"Master, let's begin!”
Ling Xiao also spoke.
"Good!"
Ninth Uncle nodded solemnly.
After saying that, Ninth Uncle came to the statue of the ancestor.
After bowing, Ninth Uncle respectfully took down the horsetail whisk.
This ancestor was Zhong Kui, and every disciple had a different ancestor. This was related to the Divine Summoning Technique.
You can only invite the ancestors who are receiving worship.
Ninth Uncle had been recognized by the founder Zhong Kui back then, so the statue of the founder was also Zhong Kui.
Among all the ancestors of Mao Mountain, Zhong Kui was definitely one of the strongest.
In the current Mao Mountain, the only disciple who could invite Zhong Kui was Ninth Uncle.
The others were all ancestors from hundreds of years ago. The most talented Shi Jian could only invite the ancestors from 500 years ago.
Zhong Kui, on the other hand, was at the level of a super grandmaster who was close to 2,000 years old.
Thus, Ling Xiao quickly guessed that Ninth Uncle's trump card was very likely to be a divine spell.
Of course, beside the statue of Zhong Kui, there were also more than ten tablets of Ninth Uncle's Celestial Master Sect. They were all the strongest cultivators of this sect in Mao Mountain.
After all, the chances of Ancestral Master Zhong Kui wanting to invite him were too low. Therefore, he usually only invited other ancestors to invite him.
"Hah!"
However, at this moment, Ninth Uncle, who was holding a horsetail whisk, suddenly shouted.
At the same time, the horsetail whisk in his hand swept forward.
" Weng weng!!!"
In an instant, all the candles in the ancestral hall were lit up.
The color of these candles was the green color formed after the yin energy was ignited.
The entire ancestral hall instantly became gloomy.
Then, Ninth Uncle took out a pile of paper money from his pocket.
"Phew!"
Under the cover of Ninth Uncle's zhenqi, the stack of paper money was completely set ablaze.
"Mao Mountain's 81st generation disciple, I sincerely invite the ancestor to descend!!”
Then, Ninth Uncle knelt on the ground respectfully and began to kowtow to the ancestral tablets of the various ancestors.
Seeing this, Ling Xiao and Qiu Sheng also knelt down.
"Buzz!"
However, at this moment, one of the ancestral tablets instantly emitted a violent Yin Qi.
The surging Yin Qi instantly caused the ancestral tablet to slowly float up.
Ninth Uncle's eyes lit up.
"Disciple Yimei! Greetings, Ancestral Master Qing Yun! "My disciple, Ling Xiao, has already reached the level of an Earth Master. I respectfully request the Ancestral Master's approval to allow him to enter the Mao Mountain's register!”
