Chapter 357: Chapter 321 Heavenly Saint Takes a Disciple_2
For many years, these five elders have been inseparable, cultivating together. Although they haven't broken through to the latter stages of the Heavenly Saint Realm, their combined strength is such that even those in the latter stages would be willing to engage in battle with them.
They had never taken in any disciples, so it was certainly a surprise to countless Heavenly Saints when they suddenly expressed a desire to take Ye Chen and Jiang Yao as their disciples.
Heavenly Saint Luo Dian was the first to speak out about taking on disciples.
Now, the elder predecessors from the Heavenly Sacred Palace, the five elders of Shetuo Mountain, were also making their intentions known.
All the senior disciples and the Heavenly Saints from Heavenly Saint Mountain were looking at Ye Chen and Jiang Yao, curious as to how the two of them would choose.
"Heavenly Saint Luo Dian?"
"The five elders of Shetuo Mountain? The five senior predecessors?"
"They all want to take us as disciples?"
Ye Chen and Jiang Yao exchanged glances, both somewhat surprised.
They had anticipated attracting the attention of the Heavenly Saints, but they hadn't expected that those who first showed interest in them would be the most powerful Heavenly Saints from Heavenly Saint Mountain.
From the respectful behavior of the other Heavenly Saints towards Heavenly Saint Luo Dian and the five elders of Shetuo Mountain, the two of them could tell that these figures were of great significance!

However, even if Heavenly Saint Luo Dian and the five elders of Shetuo Mountain had great influences, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao knew that should they decide to become disciples of either party, they would be able to walk unobstructed within the Heavenly Sacred Palace. Yet, they still hesitated.
Choosing a master is as serious as choosing a parent.
One must attach utmost importance to taking on a master and not make such a decision lightly.
For Jiang Yao, Fairy Jia Luo, who raised her, was her one and only master. Although warriors from the Barbaric Wilderness Continent could have many masters in their lifetimes, she had never contemplated taking another one.
Being from the Upper Realm's Divine Phoenix Clan, her achievements and personal standards were definitely to exceed those of the Heavenly Saints and to pursue the more powerful Void Sky True God Realm.
Moreover, she already possessed the bloodline inheritance of the Divine Phoenix Clan. Even though Heavenly Saint Luo Dian and the five elders of Shetuo Mountain were formidable, their assistance in her true cultivation wouldn't be significant. Taking them as masters would not only be of little benefit, but it might even drag Heavenly Saint Luo Dian and the five elders into the troubles of the Divine Phoenix Clan.
"With the enmities between the Divine Phoenix Clan and the other two great God Clans, plus my identity as a member of the Divine Phoenix Clan, I fear that I can no longer take another as my master on this Barbaric Wilderness Continent," thought Jiang Yao to herself.
It wasn't just Jiang Yao; Ye Chen also didn't harbor the thought of taking a master.
The secrets he bore were even more numerous than Jiang Yao's. Whether it was the Primordial Star Scripture or the Stars Tower, both were critically important, and taking a master could very likely expose his secrets.
"We will not take a master while in the Heavenly Sacred Palace."
Ye Chen and Jiang Yao shared a glance, understanding each other's thoughts.
The two of them hesitated and communicated further.
But to the other senior disciples and the Heavenly Saints, this was completely unexpected.
In their eyes, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao were doubtlessly talented, true geniuses.
Yet, genius was just that, genius. After all, both of them were still in the Rotating Pill Realm. Whether they could achieve the Heavenly Saint Realm was still in question, for there were many uncertainties on the path of growth, and numerous geniuses perished prematurely or fell along the way.
In the eyes of these elder disciples, being able to take a mid-stage Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouse as a master was already an excellent choice, let alone such absolutely powerful beings as Heavenly Saint Luo Dian and the Shetuo Mountain Five Elders!
With such impressive presences actively inviting disciples, and yet these two still hesitated, countless elder disciples and even early-stage Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouses felt both envy and perplexed by Ye Chen and Jiang Yao.
"If it were me, I would definitely agree to become an apprentice!"
"These are the most powerful Heavenly Saints of the entire Heavenly Saint Mountain, to become their disciples would be an incredible fortune!"
"I want to become a disciple but can't, and they are still hesitating!"
Many elder disciples grumbled to themselves.
While the elder disciples were grumbling, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao were hesitating about how to refuse without embarrassing Luo Dian and the Shetuo Mountain Five Elders. Meanwhile, Luo Dian and the Five Elders were still looking forward to Ye Chen and Jiang Yao's consideration, hoping they would eventually agree.
Out of nowhere, the void in the sky ripped open, and a figure in a black robe emerged with a hearty laugh, "Even the Five Elders are inviting apprentices, it seems I need to hurry up and show myself, or else I might miss out on good apprentices."
Amidst the laughter, the black-robed figure stepped out from the void rift.
As the black-robed figure appeared, he also fixed his gaze on another part of the void, calling out with a smile, "Mu, have you been hiding over there watching for so long? Why aren't you showing yourself? Are you not planning to compete for good disciples with me?"
Upon seeing this black-robed figure, all the elder disciples of the Heavenly Sacred Palace and all the Heavenly Saints of the Heavenly Saint Mountain, even Heavenly Saint Luo Dian and the Shetuo Mountain Five Elders, were surprised and exclaimed, "Third Palace Master!"
This black-robed elder was none other than one of the three great Palace Masters of the Heavenly Sacred Palace, ranking third, the Skyscraper Palace Master.
The elder disciples of the Heavenly Sacred Palace and the Heavenly Saints could never have imagined that Ye Chen and Jiang Yao had not only attracted Heavenly Saint Luo Dian and the Shetuo Mountain Five Elders but now their Palace Master had also personally come forward!
From the tone of their Palace Master, the Skyscraper Palace Master, it was clear he too had the intention of taking Ye Chen and Jiang Yao as disciples!
In the past, their Palace Master had also taken apprentices, but he had never appeared personally; instead, he would simply transmit a message to those favored disciples, directing them to go to Heavenly Saint Mountain to pay their respects as apprentices.
It was unimaginable that, in this competition for apprentices, even the Palace Master would make a personal appearance!
Moreover, hearing the words "Mu" in the speech of the Third Palace Master, the numerous disciples of the Heavenly Sacred Palace and the Heavenly Saints of Heavenly Saint Mountain shuddered once more.
In the entire Heavenly Sacred Palace, there was only one person who could be addressed as "Mu" by the Third Palace Master!
"Could it be that our Second Palace Master, Mu Yao, is also here?"
"In the past, the two great Palace Masters have never openly competed for apprentices!"
"Could it be that this time, the two of them will compete for Ye Chen and Jiang Yao together?"
"Heavens, Heavenly Saint Luo Dian, the Shetuo Mountain Five Elders, plus the Third Palace Master, if one more Second Palace Master joins... this is simply the strongest group from our Heavenly Sacred Palace coming forward to recruit Ye Chen and Jiang Yao?!"
All the disciples of the Heavenly Sacred Palace and the Heavenly Saints looked towards the void where the Skyscraper Palace Master was staring, and at that moment, something that excited the palace disciples immensely happened; three figures walked out from the void with faint smiles.
The three figures, one elder, and two juniors, led by an elder dressed in a pale blue robe, vigorous and hale, was none other than the Second Palace Master of the Heavenly Sacred Palace, Mu Yao!
"Haha, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao, these two young ones, were specifically chosen by my granddaughter Qing, I, Mu Yao, will not miss out! Take them as apprentices? If the two young ones are willing, of course, I want to take them!"
Palace Master Mu Yao said with a laugh, his voice ringing out.
