Chapter 252: Chapter 33: Delighted to Obtain the Sky Pride! My Xuanyao Lineage is Going to Rise Up_3

Within the various peaks, valleys, and palaces, Leisure Peak is not the most powerful lineage. This is because Master Xuanyao is the youngest amongst all the masters, not even five hundred years old yet.

Therefore, he often lowers the requirements when accepting disciples, taking in more disciples to boost his reputation. However, this also results in Leisure Peak having a mixed bag of disciples, good and bad.

Furthermore, he has only ascended the Purple Abode Realm less than two hundred years ago. He only has two or three direct disciples, and a few dozen core disciples, but a large number of ordinary and excellent disciples.

Each time the Academic Palace starts accepting disciples, a good number of new disciples are recruited. However, very few are outstanding. Overall, even if it is not the weakest, it is mediocre at best.

There is a tradition in the Purple Abode Academic Palace. After every triennial recruitment meeting, the senior disciples would take the junior disciples to other peaks, other valleys, and see what they have to offer.

It is proclaimed as an opportunity to introduce the disciples of other lineages. In reality, it is an occasion to flaunt the strength of one’s own lineage and the excellence of the newly recruited disciples.

This unspoken rule,

naturally gave rise to a pattern. The senior disciples would only take the juniors to those lineages they could beat.

As for those they couldn’t, they were usually the ones “to be seen.”

Disciples from Master Xuanyao’s lineage are usually the ones going to see and be seen by others.

But this time, everything is different.

In the Leisure Palace, disciples from Leisure Peak are gathering.

Master Xuanyao sits high in the main hall, slightly bowing his head, looking down at the disciples on the steps below.

Now in his prime, with a serious countenance, he exudes a majesty.

The faint trail of smoke that rises from the bronze incense burner next to him blurs his figure but can’t hide his imposing demeanor, akin to towering mountains, dignified and grand.

A giant stone sword is embedded in the middle wall behind him. It appears simple yet seems to emit an imposing sword energy.

Under the backdrop of this stone sword, Master Xuanyao’s whole aura seems to grow heavier and sharper, making people feel intimidating and unable to look at him directly.

The disciples gathered in the main hall are the core disciples of Leisure Peak, as well as some soon-to-be core disciples, making around thirty people in total. Apart from the core disciples who were absent due to special reasons, all have assembled.

They are all very excited this time, discussing continuously, this year is definitely different.

“Senior Brother Xiuping,” a spirited young man says, “Last time you led the junior brothers and sisters out. This time it should be my turn.”

“Junior Brother Yuan Bai, don’t you know how it went last time? None of the new junior brothers were reliable,” Senior Brother Xiuping replies with resentment, “I didn’t really let them see anything, we were the ones constantly being observed.”

“This time we finally have an exceptional Sky Pride disciple; this is our turning point; you can’t take away my chance for revenge.”

Those core disciples with high rankings are eyeing each other, discussing which one of them will get to lead the junior disciples on this outing.

In the midst of the dispute,

they finally turn their looks to their Master, Master Xuanyao,

as though waiting for him to make a decision.

Master Xuanyao slowly stands up, his hands folded behind his back. Underneath his stern face, there is a hint of excitement in his eyes that he can’t hide: “Stop arguing. I will personally take the new disciples to see other lineages this time.”

He seems calm, but he is laughing in his heart, laughing loudly.

Having such a disciple, how could he miss such a glorious momentum? How many years has the Xuanyao Lineage been suppressed?

The core disciples have no choice, they can’t compete with the master, so they have to try to tag along and share some of the glory.

A curious disciple asks, “Master, which lineage are we going to visit this time first? Are we going to Mysterious Ice Palace directly?” The Mysterious Ice Palace has always been the favorite spot to visit.

“Hmph! This time, we will have to visit the Mysterious Ice Palace. However, we will first pay a visit to Changchun Valley, as a warm-up,” the master says.

“Master is wise.”

The disciples shout in unison, their faces all showing excitement.
