Eternal Sacred King

2189 Reincarnated Immortals

The Immortal Sect Selection was almost the fairest opportunity for cultivators of Divine Firmament Mainland to change their lives!

No matter where one was from previously, as long as they could pass the Immortal Sect Selection and join the four immortal sects, they would only have a single identity from then on—a disciple of an immortal sect!

Even the outer sect disciples of the four immortal sects were superior to other cultivators of the same cultivation realm everywhere in Divine Firmament Mainland.

However, how difficult was it to pass the Immortal Sect Selection?

Only a hundred people would be selected for the Immortal Sect Selection that was held once every hundred years.

This meant that on average, only one Earth Immortal of Divine Firmament Mainland was qualified to join the four immortal sects every year.

Xu Shi was getting older and no longer had his drive. His future accomplishments were limited.

In Xu Xiaotian’s eyes, Su Zimo could see a vigor and a desire for strength, just like himself in Ping Yang Town back then.

However, Water Cloud Sword Sect was only a black-grade sect and had limited cultivation resources.

Even if Xu Xiaotian had that temperament and talent, it would be difficult for him to stand out in an environment where resources were scarce.

Su Zimo sighed internally—he had another layer of worry.

This time round, Xu Shi and Xu Xiaotian had a conflict with the major immortal Dao clan, the Xue Clan. Because of him, the two of them were saved. However, both parties had already formed grudges.

No matter how bold the Xue Clan was, they would not dare to cause trouble for him casually.

However, there was a high chance that the Xue Clan would take revenge on Xu Xiaotian and Xu Shi!

There was a high chance that this would be a calamity for the father and son.

There was no way Water Cloud Sword Sect could protect the two of them!

Su Zimo fell into deep thought in silence.

“If the two of you don’t mind, you can follow me and start as an ordinary guard,”

Unknowingly, Xie Qingcheng had arrived beside Su Zimo and smiled at Xu Shi and Xu Xiaotian.

Even towards Xu Shi and Xu Xiaotian, there was no arrogance or contempt in Xie Qingcheng’s eyes and he had a calm expression.

“Prince Qingcheng, you…”

Su Zimo was shocked.

Xie Qingcheng smiled at Su Zimo and nodded.

Su Zimo did not say anything. The prince seemed to have already seen through his difficulties and his decision was also to help him resolve this matter.

Xie Qingcheng said, “The ordinary guards at my side will naturally gain much better cultivation resources than anyone in black-grade sects. As long as you’re talented enough, you’ll have a chance to be my personal guard in the future.”

Xu Shi and Xu Xiaotian were stunned on the spot and could not recover for a moment.

The beautiful prince before them was truly out of reach for the two of them. The difference in status between them was too great.

Both of them could not believe it when they heard that invitation.

The two of them looked towards Su Zimo instinctively.

Su Zimo nodded.

It was naturally the best place to be by Xie Qingcheng’s side.

Cultivation resources were only one of the reasons.

More importantly, Xu Shi and Xu Xiaotian were safe by Xie Qingcheng’s side. At the very least, they no longer had to fear the Xue Clan.

“Thank you, Your Highness!”

Xu Shi hurriedly pulled Xu Xiaotian and knelt down towards Xie Qingcheng.

“There’s no need,”

Before the two of them knelt down, Xie Qingcheng waved his sleeves and released an invisible force that lifted them up. “I’ll have someone send a letter to Water Cloud Sword Sect later to report this matter. Don’t worry about this.”

Xu Shi and Xu Xiaotian were flattered.

The two of them bowed to Su Zimo gratefully.

Both of them could tell that if not for Su Zimo, Xie Qingcheng would definitely not take them in.

“Thank you, Your Highness,”

Su Zimo looked at Xie Qingcheng and cupped his fists in thanks as well.

Xie Qingcheng shook his head and smiled. “It’s nothing much, don’t worry. I’m just a prince with no power. If they have a better place to go in the future, they can leave at any time.”

Su Zimo lamented.

There were decent people in the upper world as well.

Although Xie Qingcheng helped him, he did not try to get anything out of it or even give Xu Shi and Xu Xiaotian any pressure.

“Bring them back and make arrangements,”

Xie Qingcheng instructed the two guards behind him.

“Fellow Daoists, this way,”

The two guards left with Xu Shi and Xu Xiaotian.

Right then, a complicated secret cultivation technique appeared in Xu Shi and Xu Xiaotian’s minds.

Immediately after, Su Zimo’s voice sounded in their minds.

“I obtained the Divine Elephant Breathing Technique after killing a paragon. This cultivation technique is extremely domineering and ferocious. When cultivated to its limits, it’s not weaker than many top cultivation techniques of the upper world.”

“As for how far you guys can cultivate this cultivation technique, that will depend on your own fate and talent. In addition, this cultivation technique must not be leaked after you cultivate it.”

Xu Shi and Xu Xiaotian shuddered and looked at Su Zimo instinctively.

At that moment, Su Zimo had already followed everyone from the academy and left with Xie Qingcheng, leaving only his back view.

Xu Shi and his son exchanged grateful glances.

On the other side.

In Su Zimo’s opinion, it was fate that he was able to reunite with Xu Shi and his son here.

He could not take Xu Xiaotian in as his disciple nor could he keep the two of them by his side to enter the academy together. As such, he imparted the Divine Elephant Breathing Technique to the two of them as compensation.

The cultivation techniques he cultivated were complicated but there were many that were inconvenient to impart and might not be suitable for the two of them to cultivate.

This Divine Elephant Breathing Technique was the most suitable.

If the two of them could cultivate this cultivation technique to greater mastery, they would be able to stand out among the many guards.

Up till now, Su Zimo still remembered the monster incarnate, Fang Xuan, who cultivated the Divine Elephant Breathing Technique.

Back in the Emperor’s Tomb, with this cultivation technique, Fang Xuan even managed to escape from Yun Ting’s Human Slaying Sword Qi.

In the end, it was also because of the combined attack of Su Zimo, Yun Ting and Feng Ziyi that he was killed on the spot.

If not for that, it would have taken Su Zimo some effort to suppress him.

“Brother, how many people from the academy are in the top ten of the Earth Ranking this time round? What are my, Senior Brother Ye Fei’s and Su Zimo’s rankings?”

Along the way, Princess Scarlet Rainbow asked.

Ye Fei was the number one of Heaven and Earth Academy’s outer sect competition this time round!

Before the fight for the Earth Ranking began, someone had already ranked the rough rankings for many cultivators to read.

“The fight for the Earth Ranking this time round was way too intense and Heaven and Earth Academy did not have much of an advantage this time round,”

Xie Qingcheng shook her head gently. “There are no academy disciples in the top ten.”

“What? That’s impossible!”

Princess Scarlet Rainbow’s face was filled with doubt as she grumbled, “Who made up that ranking? How can there be no one from the academy in the top ten?!”

On the other hand, Elder Zhong of the academy was extremely calm. “According to the news I received, there are indeed some monster incarnates among the Earth Immortals fighting for the Earth Ranking this time round. Ye Fei might not be able to squeeze into the top ten. The academy has already expected that. You guys don’t have to feel pressured. Just compete normally.”

“I don’t believe you!”

Princess Scarlet Rainbow pouted and asked, “Who is the number one this time round?”

Xie Qingcheng said, “The top two of the Earth Ranking this time round are almost certain. It’s just a matter of who is first and second.”

“Yun Ting isn’t taking part either. Who can be so powerful?”

Princess Scarlet Rainbow asked indignantly.

Xie Qingcheng smiled. “Even Yun Ting might not be able to get first place. That’s because both of them are reincarnated immortals!”
