Lu Li's wounds were almost healed after three days of rest. Following Wang Ningxue's arrangement, he changed into clean clothes and went to a hall for the ceremony.
Usually, the ceremony of apprenticeship in the Celestial Emperor Sect was grand. But Emperor Rui did not like it. Maybe he did not get along well with the other great emperors of the Celestial Emperor Sect.
Wang Ningxue said that Emperor Rui told her that a simple ceremony was enough. That was what Wang Ningxue did before. She only invited a few people to be witnesses.
Emperor Rui rose from a poor family. The other great emperors were from major families.
The Celestial Emperor Sect was formed by some major families. After Emperor Rui joined the Celestial Emperor Sect, many families tried to rope him in. But he did not like to form cliques. Therefore, he turned down all the offers.
This offended many people. Emperor Heng was the only friend of Emperor Rui in the Celestial Emperor Sect.
That being said, Emperor Heng was not the only one present for today's ceremony. There was also an old man in a black robe. Wang Ningxue came with Lu Li. She was surprised to see the old man in a black robe.
She was born in the Wang Family. Naturally, she knew everything about the Celestial Emperor Sect. She knew this old man in a black robe very well. His name was Li Yang. He was the supervisor of the Celestial Emperor Sect.
He was not supervising disciples, but the entire Celestial Emperor Sect, including the patriarchs.
He was one of the top 10 most important figures in the Celestial Emperor Sect. He never recognized anyone and only answered to the master.
His nickname was Hell Li. If a patriarch made a mistake, he had the right to punish them directly.
Why did he come to such a small ceremony?
Was it a coincidence?
Lu Li did not know this man. He followed Wang Ningxue in and bowed to the three with her.
Emperor Rui said with a smile, "Ningxue, Lu Li, let me introduce you. This is Supervisor Li and this is Emperor Heng. Come and greet them."
"Greetings, Supervisor Li, Emperor Heng!"
Lu Li and Wang Ningxue greeted at once. Supervisor Li nodded and said, "It's okay. I am here to witness the ceremony. Don't mind me."
Emperor Heng looked at Lu Li with a smile and said, "Lu Li, Lord Li has never attended a ceremony. You are the first. This is your honor.
After taking the Rui Emperor as your master, I hope that you will cultivate hard and not lose face for your master. "
"I will remember Emperor Heng's words, and I will not disgrace you!" Lu Li answered.
Wang Ningxue walked over and stood beside the Rui Emperor. There was a maid serving tea at the side. Wang Ningxue said, "Junior Martial Brother Lu, kowtow to Master."
Lu Li kowtowed three times with respect. Wang Ningxue handed a cup of tea to Lu Li in person.
Lu Li served him tea. Emperor Rui took it over and took a sip. He nodded and said, "Lu Li, from today on, you are my apprentice. I don't have many rules, just two.
Firstly, they were not allowed to bully the weak and slaughter civilians. Secondly, they were not allowed to lose their humanity and commit crimes.
If you break any of them, don't blame me for being merciless. "
Lu Li bowed with respect and said, "Master, don't worry. I will follow your instructions."
"You have a Sovereign Weapon!"
The Rui Emperor thought about it and said, "Your corporeal body is also strong. You will also have to continue cultivating your corporeal body in the future, so I won't give you the battle armor.
You are good at soul attacks, so I don't know what to give you as a gift. "
Lu Li waved his hand and said, "There is no need. Master, you have already thought highly of me by accepting me as your apprentice. How can I accept a gift from you?
As for a gift, it should be a gift from me to show my respect to you. "
"Ha, ha, ha!"
Emperor Heng laughed and said, "Lu Li, you have underestimated your master. He is a warrior of the Great Emperor Realm. How many roving bandits did he defeat?
He went to many places of treasures. The number of treasures he has is astonishing. It is only right that a master should give his apprentice a gift. "
Emperor Rui thought for a while. A green bead appeared in his hand. Handing it to Lu Li, he said, "This is something I got from the Land of Silence. I don't need it anymore, so I will give it to you as a gift."
"Thank you, Master!"
Lu Li took it over. He took a look but didn't pay much attention to it. He put it away.
Emperor Heng forced a smile and said, "Lu Li, do you think this bead is a piece of cabbage?
This is Holy Soul Bead, a piece of treasure for the soul. After you consume it, it will be placed in your soul. It can strengthen your soul automatically, and the speed of improvement can be compared to when you consume top-level elixirs continuously.
This bead is not a Sovereign Weapon, but it is much more valuable. "
"What?"
Lu Li just took it over and didn't take a close look. He didn't know that the Holy Soul Bead was so powerful.
He needed it badly because his soul was not strong. Also, his soul attacks were good. When his soul was strong, his soul attacks would be more effective. For him, this bead was the best treasure.
"Master, you are biased!"
Wang Ningxue pouted and said in a half-joking manner, "This bead is more valuable than the one you gave me."
"Ha, ha!"
Emperor Rui said with a smile, "You have a ninth rank Enchanted Soul in your soul. This bead is of little use to you.
Besides, your soul is strong. Lu Li needs it more than you do. "
Lord Li stood up and said, "Okay, the ceremony is over. I will leave now.
Lu Li, work hard. Don't waste our efforts. "
Lu Li said yes. Emperor Heng left with Lord Li. Emperor Rui waved his hand and Wang Ningxue left as well. Only Lu Li and Emperor Rui were left in the main hall.
Emperor Rui took a sip of tea and said, "It is Lord Li who decided your advancement. He said in person that you can advance directly. Lord Li values you, Lu Li."
Lu Li didn't know about Lord Li's status in the Celestial Emperor Sect. But judging from how people treated him with respect, Lu Li knew that Lord Li was an important figure in the Celestial Emperor Sect. Lu Li felt flattered.
"But, don't be complacent!"
The Rui Emperor said, "Lord Li values you so much because you have the God Order Chains. If these God Order Chains hadn't fused with you, I reckon that Lord Li would have forcefully stripped them off and bestowed them to the Emperors in the sect.
Therefore, Lord Li does not value your talent, but the Divine Chains of Order. "
Lu Li was surprised. Then, he put his mind at ease. The Divine Chains of Order were integrated with him and could not be taken off.
In the future, the powerful warriors of the Celestial Emperor Sect would not have any ill intentions towards him. He didn't have to worry about being assassinated.
"The Divine Chains of Order are good stuff!"
Emperor Rui continued, "But your own abilities are the key. Your realm is low and you have learned many things.
Didn't any Emperor-level powerhouses teach you before?
Did they ever give you any systematic advice? "
Lu Li shook his head. He only met an unnamed demon emperor, but they parted in a hurry. Lu Li didn't give Emperor Rui many pointers.
Emperor Rui thought about it and said after a moment, "I have observed your fights and I know you well in all aspects.
I will give you two pieces of advice. One is to continue to cultivate your body to the extreme. The other is to cultivate your soul. Focus on your body and soul.
The other way is to cultivate Fundamental Principle. I can take you to a secret realm where there are some super marks of Fundamental Principle.
If you can comprehend it, your True Meaning will immediately improve.
Well … if you want to cultivate your body, I can take you to a place with treasures. As long as you can stay there for 10 years, I can promise you that when you come out, not even the average emperors can kill you. "
"10 years?"
