Chapter 2934: Senior Sister Qiu Xia

Chapter 2934 -2935: Senior Sister Qiu Xia

The Sect Leader, upon seeing this, immediately burst into laughter.

“I know what you’re thinking. According to the sect’s rules, this is certainly not allowed. However, there’s another rule in the sect that you may not be aware of. Once you become a True Disciple, not only can you enter the Inner Sect, you can directly become an elite disciple without any objection!” the Elder said.

True Disciple? Ye Luo had heard a bit about this, knowing that every member of the Ice Gate Sect senior level, above the Elder rank, could recruit two True Disciples.

The status of a True Disciple in the sect is very high, but of course, the specific situation depends on whose True Disciple you are!

For example, a True Disciple of an ordinary Elder would naturally have an average status.

But if it’s a revered Elder, that’s another matter altogether.

Right now, this Elder is the Outer Sect Leader, and he also presides over Inner Sect affairs, so his status is obviously not low, probably comparable to the Deputy Sect Master.

Additionally, the Sect Master and Deputy Sect Master of the Ice Gate Sect have been in retreat for years, which is no secret, thus making the various Sect Leaders the most empowered individuals.

“What do you mean, Sect Leader?” Ye Luo promptly asked.

The Sect Leader burst into laughter again, “I intend to take you as my True Disciple, of course!”

Although Ye Luo had guessed this possibility before, hearing the Elder’s declaration still shocked him immensely!

What a joke, he’s just become an Outer Sect Disciple, and now he’s being accepted as a True Disciple?

Efficiency is an advantage of the Ice Gate Sect, but it can’t be this efficient!

“Sect Leader, this… I’m a bit overwhelmed!” said Ye Luo.

The Sect Leader still had a smile on his face, “I’m aware of that. You’ve just entered the sect, and I don’t know you well yet, but your strong prowess and exceptional talent alone give me every reason to accept you as a True Disciple! You shouldn’t feel pressured. With your talent, you might not stay at Ice Gate Sect forever, but once you become a True Disciple, you’ll always be a part of our sect, no matter where you go! Whatever hardships you face, Ice Gate Sect will be your solid support!”

This indeed moved Ye Luo. He originally didn’t hold much regard for Ice Gate Sect, but the Elder’s style sincerely impressed him! Other sects would desperately want you to stay within the sect, but Ice Gate Sect’s approach! Precisely better for winning hearts.

“I am enlightened!” Ye Luo said seriously.

“Being a True Disciple is merely a title, nothing different from other disciples, except for one point. While you receive the sect’s strong cultivation resources, you must also bear corresponding responsibilities! I hope you understand this clearly!” the Sect Leader suddenly added.

For this, Ye Luo had no objection.

“I won’t force you. You can go back and think it over, then return to me!” the Elder said.

“Such an opportunity, what else is there to consider? I agree!” Ye Luo immediately exclaimed.

Firstly, a True Disciple is different from being a pupil. If Ye Luo had to acknowledge a master, even acting wouldn’t suffice, but being a True Disciple is merely a status symbol, fundamentally no different from an Inner or elite disciple, just with a higher status.

Moreover, with this identity, gathering information would be much easier.

“Great!” The Elder immediately laughed loudly, “I’ll make arrangements, and tomorrow morning, we’ll hold the conferring ceremony!”

Ye Luo was speechless; the efficiency was as consistent as ever.

Returning to the thatched cottage, Ye Luo wasn’t in a hurry. After all, becoming a True Disciple the next day would make entering the Treasure Pavilion easy. Meanwhile, he should carefully plan his course in this Dark Alliance.

Just as he fell into deep thought, footsteps sounded outside!

Ye Luo dared not use his Divine Sense to probe, knowing that the Ice Gate Sect was powerful, with formidable experts surely amongst them.

Soon, the door swung open, and a woman entered.

The woman wore a veil, concealing her appearance, and her loose garments obscured her figure. Yet, the aura of detachment enveloping her made Ye Luo somewhat displeased.

He also noticed that women in the Demon Realm often favored hiding their faces, which perhaps was due to their lower social status.

After all, if an ordinary woman is moderately attractive, she might become a plaything for the strong. Wearing veils might enhance their safety, and over time, this habit might have formed.

“Are you Ye Luo?” she asked in a slightly hoarse voice.

Ye Luo nodded slightly, “And you are?”

“I’m your senior sister!” she said directly.

Senior sister? Ye Luo looked at her in surprise, seemingly never having seen her before! Could it be?

“You might have guessed. I’m the Sect Leader’s other True Disciple!” she nodded.

“Greetings, Senior Sister!” Ye Luo quickly saluted.

“No need for that. From now on, we won’t need any formalities between us. Since the Sect Leader accepted you, you must diligently cultivate and not slack off!”

Afterward, she gave Ye Luo a thorough teaching, leaving him somewhat nonplussed.

Yet this senior sister was genuinely sincere, like a big sister, albeit with slightly cold words, but still very considerate.

This made Ye Luo feel an inexplicable sense of kinship.

“Alright, focus on your cultivation! Tomorrow, you’ll move to the main peak. By the way, my name is Qiu Xia!”

After speaking, she departed!

Ye Luo spent the entire night in cultivation, as the Earth Martial Realm of the Saint Realm required immense accumulation, and he had been stuck in this realm for a long time, not yet completing the accumulation! However, he felt that a breakthrough was approaching in a few days.

Once he breaks through, his power should have a significant leap! After all, the Saint Realm is not cultivated or accumulated in vain.

Early in the morning, Ye Luo arrived at the main peak’s plaza, surprised to find the Sect Leader and Qiu Xia already waiting there.

Yet the others had yet to arrive; accepting a True Disciple isn’t a trivial matter. It’s said that surrounding sects and forces would attend this ceremony.

Ye Luo found it curious, only a night’s time seemed hastily prepared for the ceremony.

“Junior Brother, you’re here!” Qiu Xia warmly greeted, “The ceremony will begin soon, you need to pay attention to this!”

Then she explained some of the details to Ye Luo, and their familiarity surprised him.

“Is there a challenge segment as well?” Ye Luo frowned and asked.

Qiu Xia nodded, “Indeed, it’s part of the rules. I experienced it too. Since True Disciples represent the young elite of the sect, other sects may test your strength and talent! Of course, that’s not important. What’s crucial is whether Master’s enemies will use this opportunity to harm you. Back then, I sustained injuries at the ceremony and took three years to heal completely!”
