"Junior Martial Brother Mo, please come with me!" When Mo Xiaoliang stepped down from the stage, a steward flew down from the Cloud Platform and said in an official tone.
All the disciples were filled with envy and jealousy when they saw this scene. All of them understood what this meant. Someone must have taken a fancy to Mo Xiaoliang's performance and intended to take him as a disciple, so they summoned him for questioning. As long as he seized this opportunity and performed well, he would be able to ascend to the heavens in a single bound and become the disciple of a high level cultivator!
Mo Xiaoliang was expressionless. He followed the steward and flew to the Cloud Platform.
"Greetings to the three grandmasters and martial uncles."
He was a little surprised to be led to the three Nascent Soul Lord Daoists, but he didn't panic. He didn't lack etiquette, but he didn't show too much respect on his face.
Lord Daoist Lingxi didn't mind at all and still said with a smile, "Mo Xiaoliang, I have a question to ask you after watching your fight."
Mo Xiaoliang bowed. "Yes, please ask, grandmaster."
Lord Daoist Lingxi said, "Which do you think is more important? Temperament or aptitude?"
Mo Xiaoliang was stunned. He thought for a while and answered, "Temperament."
"Oh?"
Lord Daoist Lingxi was quite surprised. Many people thought that aptitude was more important, but most Nascent Soul Lord Daoists would think about it and say the two were equally important. She didn't expect Mo Xiaoliang to say temperament was more important.
"Why?"
Mo Xiaoliang answered, "There's no reason. The grandmasters in our sect may not have super strong aptitude, but they certainly have extraordinary temperament."
Lord Daoist Lingxi looked at them and said with a smile, "Among the eight Nascent Soul Cultivators in our sect, five have single spiritual roots. As for the remaining three, one of them has a Spiritual Root of the Origin, which is better than a single spiritual root … How do you explain this?"
Mo Xiaoliang said, "Grandmaster Shoujing has double spiritual roots, but he was the first genius cultivator to form his Gold Core in Xuanqing School. Moreover, he formed his Nascent Soul at the age of 211. Grandmaster Lingxi … you have a single spiritual root, so you can't compare with Grandmaster Shoujing in terms of Gold Core or Nascent Soul.
Grandmaster Huayan's aptitude is worse than Grandmaster Shoujing's, but he still reached the Nascent Soul Realm.
Grandmaster Zhifei of Morning Sun Peak has a single spiritual root, but he still hasn't formed his Nascent Soul Realm. "
Daolord Lingxi laughed. "You really dare to say that …"
Mo Xiaoliang continued, "Based on these three things, it's clear that those who reach the Nascent Soul realm don't necessarily have high aptitudes, but all of them have excellent temperaments."
Daolord Rhinoceros smiled and said, "Those with talent but no temperament were all eliminated, right?"
Mo Xiaoliang hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Yes."
"Then have you ever thought that those with no aptitude and temperament would have been eliminated even earlier?"
Mo Xiaoliang hesitated even longer.
Daolord Rhinoceros simply smiled at him.
"Grandmaster is saying …" Mo Xiaoliang said with some difficulty, "Aptitude is actually more important than temperament?"
Daolord Lingxi shook his head. "I didn't say anything. You don't need me to answer this question."
Mo Xiaoliang remained silent.
"Mo Xiaoliang." After a long silence, Daolord Rhinoceros suddenly asked, "Are you willing to take me as your master and become my disciple?"
Although he knew the deacon called him up because someone was interested in him and might even accept him as a disciple, Mo Xiaoliang was still surprised to hear Daolord Rhinoceros ask him such a straightforward question. He didn't expect it to be a Nascent Soul grandmaster. He also didn't expect the other party to directly accept him as a disciple without testing him again and again.
Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, Daolord Rhinoceros raised her eyebrows. "What? You don't want to?"
Mo Xiaoliang regained his composure. He suddenly lifted his robe and knelt down. "Grandmaster Rhinoceros, please forgive me. Disciple once had a wish. Before I answer Grandmaster, I want to ask Grandmaster Qingwei a question first."
Daolord Rhinoceros found it quite interesting and nodded. "Okay."
Mo Xiaoliang raised his head and stared at Mo Tiange. Something flashed in his eyes, like admiration and desire.
He said, "May I ask if Grandmaster Qingwei still remembers disciple?"
The Mo Xiaoliang in front of him looked like he was in his early twenties. He had a regular face and a fierce expression at the tip of his eyebrows and the corner of his eyes, so he wasn't handsome. However, the fierceness and fierceness he exuded was exactly the same as in Mo Xiaoliang's memory.
Mo Tiange nodded calmly. "I remember, but I didn't expect your surname to be Mo."
Mo Xiaoliang said, "That day, disciple was saved by Grandmaster, so disciple was able to escape.
When I entered the sect, disciple asked Martial Uncle Yunyu how I could become Grandmaster Qingwei's disciple. Martial Uncle replied that I could become the most powerful disciple in Xuanqing School.
All these years, disciple has been working hard and never slacking off.
However, the more I know, the more I realize I don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. All these years, not to mention Nascent Soul Lord Daoists, even Core Formation Daoists are unwilling to accept me as a disciple.
Now that Grandmaster Rhinoceros wants to accept disciple, disciple knows this is a chance to change my fate. But before that, disciple wants to ask Grandmaster: Is Grandmaster willing to accept me as a disciple? "
On the Cloud Platform, all the cultivators who heard him looked at him with astonishment.
Xuanqing School had been established for so many years, but they had never heard of a Nascent Soul Lord Daoist asking a disciple whether or not he was willing to accept him as a disciple. This Mo Xiaoliang was really too bold and thought too highly of himself!
Mo Tiange's eyes were also filled with astonishment. She cast a glance at Lord Daoist Rhinoceros, who had been smiling all along, and asked, "Do you know that Senior Martial Brother Lingxi wants to accept you as a disciple not only because you're compatible with his temperament, but also because you're suitable to cultivate his cultivation technique?
If you accept me as your master, I'll at most ask for a cultivation technique for you, but I can't give you pointers like he does. "
"Disciple knows," Mo Xiaoliang said calmly.
"But this has been disciple's wish for several decades. I have to ask before I'm willing to turn to someone else."
Mo Tiange glanced at Lord Daoist Rhinoceros and said, "I have no intention of accepting a disciple."
Mo Xiaoliang exhaled, kowtowed to her, and turned to Lord Daoist Rhinoceros. "Grandmaster Lingxi, disciple is willing."
Lord Daoist Rhinoceros didn't answer immediately. Instead, he said with a smile, "You asked her first and then replied to me. Isn't this telling others that in your heart, becoming my disciple isn't the best choice?
If that's the case, would I still be willing to accept you as my disciple? "
Mo Xiaoliang lowered his head and said, "If Grandmaster Lingxi changes your mind, disciple has nothing to say."
"Even so, would you still ask her just now?"
"Yes." Mo Xiaoliang didn't hesitate at all.
Lord Daoist Rhinoceros nodded. "Go. Someone will notify you later."
"Disciple will take her leave." Mo Xiaoliang kowtowed again and retreated without any rudeness.
After a while, Mo Tiange asked, "Does Senior Martial Brother Lingxi want to accept a disciple or not?"
Lord Daoist Rhinoceros answered, "Junior Martial Sister Qingwei really doesn't want to accept a disciple, or does she want me to accept her?"
The two of them looked at each other and laughed together.
Lord Daoist Rhinoceros said, "He said without hesitation that temperament is important, which means temperament is more important in his heart.
His aptitude isn't bad, so it can be considered a pass. Temperament is only good for him.
Moreover, what I value more is that he can face his heart directly. Even under the pressure of the three of us, he can still face his heart.
Relatively speaking, having a violent temper isn't a big disadvantage. "
Nascent Soul cultivators like them all knew that the first important point of the Great Dao was to face one's heart directly. Mo Xiaoliang had already achieved this point, which meant that his chances of stepping on the Great Dao in the future were much higher than those of ordinary people.
"Also," Qin Xi, who had been watching from the side, said, "He's not inflexible. He values ideals, but he won't die with them."
"Yes."
Lord Daoist Rhinoceros said with a smile, "A firm belief is necessary, but it can't be the same. If you don't know how to size up the situation, you'll also be eliminated by reality."
"In short, congratulations to Senior Martial Brother Lingxi for accepting a good disciple!" Mo Tiange cupped her hands. "Congratulations."
On the first day of the competition, Lord Daoist Rhinoceros accepted a disciple. This news inspired many disciples and made them even more enthusiastic about the competition.
Five days later, all the Foundation Building disciples finished competing. There were about a dozen disciples who successfully worshiped high-level cultivators as their masters. Unfortunately, the others were all Core Formation Masters. Mo Xiaoliang was the only one who worshiped a Nascent Soul Lord Daoist.
The disciples were disappointed but also envious. They were thinking about the next competition and worried that they would be too old to enter the eyes of a Nascent Soul grandmaster …
Next was the competition for Core Formation cultivators.
Under normal circumstances, the competition was the only opportunity to watch Core Formation cultivators fight. Therefore, not only were there not many people on the main peak, but there were also more.
There were about twenty Core Formation cultivators participating in the competition this time. The fights between Core Formation cultivators were much more detailed, so there would probably be more than a dozen fights until the final round.
The intensity of fights between Core Formation cultivators was also much higher, so there were at most three fights per day. In total, it would take five or six days for the competition to end.
When the competition was completely over, it would be the opening day of the Ten Thousand Laws of Nature Formation. All Foundation Building cultivators who entered the sect within fifty years had to enter the Ten Thousand Laws of Nature Formation.
No matter how she thought about it, she still had to be busy for more than ten days. Mo Tiange simply stopped cultivating and prepared to spend this period of time leisurely.
When the Core Formation cultivators' competition began, Mo Tiange was surprised to find that Lord Daoist Miaoyi's disciple, Wu Feishuang, had already formed her Gold Core!
During the trip to the Eastern Sea, she lost one of her arms and was seriously injured. Kuang Zhu said it would take her about ten to twenty years to fully recover. Including the time it took to form her Gold Core … it had only been thirty years since then!
Out of curiosity, she asked and found out the reason was because of her.
Back then, she took out a lot of spiritual plants and spiritual pills to shorten the time Wu Feishuang needed to recuperate. Later, she obtained enough medicinal pills and concentrated on cultivating. In twenty years, she broke through and formed her Gold Core in one fell swoop.
Mo Tiange sighed and said, "Even so, she must've accumulated a lot to be able to enter the Core Formation realm so smoothly."
Qin Xi said faintly, "I have to thank Zhifei. If it weren't for him, it wouldn't have been so easy to sever the entanglement."
Thinking about Bai Yanfei, who was still struggling in the Core Formation realm, Mo Tiange couldn't help but sigh.
What was even more shocking was that Wu Feishuang's opponent was actually Jiang Min!
Mo Tiange watched as the two of them met in the fighting arena. Both of them looked calm, just like they did in the past. They politely called each other senior and junior martial sisters, and their attitudes were friendly but not deliberately intimate. Presumably, they'd already let go of Bai Yanfei.
Mo Tiange couldn't help but sigh for Bai Yanfei again. If he still couldn't let go, he would lose to them.
