Upon hearing this, the elderly men, whose faces were red and necks bulging, finally stopped arguing.
However, they insisted that it was the best choice for Shi Yi to follow them.
Seeing that the elders were deadlocked, the old man holding the gourd made a suggestion.
"How about this, let Xuan Yi choose who to side with himself, then we won't have to argue and waste time." The old man's name was Tao Ye, a heavyweight elder of the Butian Pavilion.
The golden gourd he held in his hand was the famous Sacrificial Spirit Vine of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, possessing boundless divine power.
Being able to wield such a prestigious instrument speaks volumes about Tao Ye's status.
The elders of the Butian Pavilion present all felt that this made sense. Since everyone was unable to reach a consensus, they decided to let Shi Yi choose for himself, which would be fairer and would prevent others from having any complaints.
"Xuanyi, why don't you choose one of us old men to be your master?"
Chapter 58 Pavilion Master
Not far away, Dianfeng was already speechless with envy.
Becoming a disciple of an elder of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion undoubtedly grants one far superior benefits compared to disciples of the Genius Camp.
With his exceptional talent and abundant resources, Xuan Yi's rise to power is unstoppable.
However, according to rumors, Xuan Yi's background is not simple and he should not lack cultivation resources.
"He must be here for the Heaven-Mending Technique. Does he want to enter the Ancient Sacred Academy?" Dian Feng muttered to himself.
"Xuan Yi, choose me. I am skilled in alchemy and have quite a few pills suitable for your current level." Before Shi Yi could speak, an elder of the Butian Pavilion smiled and said to him.
Then the elders began to speak up, explaining the advantages of choosing them.
Even veteran Tao Ye couldn't help but say a few words in his defense.
Shi Yi wore a holeless mask, so the elders couldn't see his expression or what his eyes looked like.
After the elders quieted down, Shi Yi revealed his choice.
"Xuan Yi thanks all the elders for their kindness and is deeply honored. However, if I had to choose a master, I would like to choose the Pavilion Master of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion."
It wasn't that he looked down on these elders, but rather that Shi Yi needed a powerful figure like the Pavilion Master of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion to help him solidify the sealing power on his mask, lest others discover his true identity.
As soon as he finished speaking, all the elders fell silent. They had thought Shi Yi would choose from among them, but he directly chose the Pavilion Master.
Is he qualified to be the sect leader's disciple? Of course he is, more than qualified. They suspect that even if the ancient emperor came, seeing his talent and strength, he would be tempted to take him as a disciple.
The Pavilion Master of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, standing at the Array Formation Realm, is considered a regional king, but not yet a Venerable.
"Sect Master... it is possible, but the Sect Master has not appeared for many years and has been in seclusion."
"If you wish to become the Pavilion Master's disciple, you will need to ask for permission first," Tao Ye said, holding the gourd.
The other elders sighed, naturally regretting missing out on such a promising talent.
However, they were not dissatisfied because Shi Yi did not choose them.
Within the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, besides the supreme Sacrificial Spirit, the Pavilion Master is the second strongest. Given Shi Yi's aptitude, it would be most suitable for the Pavilion Master to teach him.
Afterwards, the elders dispersed, and before leaving, they all praised Shi Yi's talent and expressed their goodwill.
After the elders dispersed, Zhuo Yun bid farewell to Tao Ye and then led Dian Feng to the Genius Camp.
There, the children of many kings and generals, and the scions of ancient noble families gathered, and Dianfeng would become one of them.
He really wanted to get to know Shi Yi, but unfortunately, the elders were always there, and he didn't even have a chance to speak to them. In the end, he could only leave with Zhuo Yun helplessly.
"Uncle-Master, this disciple will continue to guard the mountain gate." Xiong Fei bowed to Tao Ye and said this.
"Okay, go ahead." Tao Ye nodded and then praised Xiong Fei telepathically.
Then, he turned to Shi Yi and said, "Xuan Yi, come with me."
Shi Yi nodded and followed Tao Ye's footsteps.
Wisps of chaotic energy drifted out from the gourd in his hand, hovering beneath their feet, condensing into mist, and carrying Shi Yi at breakneck speed.
Led by Tao Ye, they rode on chaotic clouds, passing through mountains and pure lands, until they arrived at the foot of a majestic and imposing Taoist mountain.
In the vast ancient Pure Land, there are many sacred mountains. Every being of the elder generation is entitled to obtain their own mountain to build a cave and cultivate in seclusion.
Some of the most powerful disciples also have this qualification.
The majestic mountain before them was the secluded training ground of the Pavilion Master of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion.
"Judging by the time, the Pavilion Master has been in seclusion for more than ten years. I wonder how he is now," Tao Ye sighed.
Then, he sent a telepathic message to the majestic Dao Mountain, explaining his purpose.
After a long wait, finally, deep within the Dao Mountain, amidst the clouds and mist, a faint, ethereal voice, imbued with Daoist charm, rang out in response.
"come in."
Upon hearing this, Tao Ye's expression brightened.
"It seems the Pavilion Master intends to take you as his disciple," he said to Shi Yi with a smile.
The next moment, a passage forged from the power of the array of rules extended down from the towering mountain and stopped at their feet.
Tao Ye stepped onto this path, with Shi Yi following closely behind.
As the light and shadow shifted, the majestic Dao Mountain appeared at their feet, and when they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in front of an ancient temple.
Tao Ye stepped into the ancient hall, with Shi Yi following behind.
Inside the ancient hall, clouds and mist swirled, exuding a strong Taoist atmosphere. The furnishings were simple, without any ornate colors or grandeur; there was only a futon and an old Taoist priest.
This was the master of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion. He was radiant, making it impossible to see his true face. He was a holy and serene figure.
Its radiance was very holy, like a god sitting there. Its aura was powerful, but not intimidating, giving people a sense of peace and tranquility.
"I've met the Pavilion Master."
To cultivate and practice etiquette.
Shi Yi dared not be negligent and bowed to the master of the ancient Pure Land.
"Xuan Yi greets the Pavilion Master."
The Butian Pavilion has disciples all over the world. The Pavilion Master of Butian Pavilion in front of us was a fellow disciple of the War King of the Stone Kingdom when he was young.
"Hmm, not bad, a genius rarely seen in the world." The Pavilion Master of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion opened his eyes, his gaze deep and unfathomable, with all sorts of astonishing images appearing within them.
"Master, this child wishes to become your disciple," Tao Ye said, explaining his purpose.
"Stay here for now," the Pavilion Master of Butian Pavilion replied without saying anything more.
As a king and the master of the ancient Pure Land, his judgment was naturally excellent. He only glanced at Shi Yi and knew that he was an unparalleled genius.
Generally speaking, the Pavilion Master does not accept disciples. However, when he encounters a genius of Shi Yi's caliber, it is hard for him not to be tempted. However, it is of great significance for the Pavilion Master to accept disciples. The Pavilion Master's disciple will most likely inherit his mantle and become the new Pavilion Master of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion in the future. Such a matter cannot be done casually.
Upon hearing this, Tao Ye felt relieved, bid farewell, and left the main hall.
At this moment, only the Pavilion Master of Butian Pavilion and Shi Yi remained in the main hall.
"Xuan Yi greets the Pavilion Master."
"Hmm, I heard you come from the Xuan Domain. May I ask which clan's prodigy you are?" The Pavilion Master of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion nodded and then asked.
Although he recognized Shi Yi's talent, places like the Butian Pavilion were often visited by people with ulterior motives who sent their younger generations there. He needed to know what Shi Yi's true purpose was in coming here.
Otherwise, blindly investing in a child who turns out to be ungrateful would be a net loss.
Upon hearing the question posed by the Pavilion Master of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, Shi Yi sighed inwardly, knowing it was time to remove the mask from his face.
Chapter 59 Courage
Seeing that Shi Yi did not answer immediately, the Pavilion Master's eyes flickered slightly. Could it be that there was some hidden reason why this child came to the Heaven-Mending Pavilion?
He wasn't in a hurry; he simply watched Shi Yi quietly, waiting for his answer.
Even if Shi Yi has ulterior motives, the Pavilion Master won't do anything to him; however, it's unlikely he'll be accepted as a disciple.
Shi Yi did not immediately remove the mask from his face, but first apologized to the Pavilion Master of Butian Pavilion.
The turmoil in the Qilin Secret Realm plunged him into the very center of a terrifying vortex. Now, all the strongest beings in the entire Ancient Divine Mountain want to find him, and even the Venerables of the Ancient Divine Mountain are inquiring about his whereabouts, all wanting to obtain the legendary and unparalleled Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques.
If those beings knew that Shi Yi was in the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, this ancient pure land would no longer be peaceful and could be destroyed in an instant, ceasing to exist.
It can be said that Shi Yi's joining the Heaven-Mending Pavilion brought enormous risks to this place.
Upon hearing this, the Pavilion Master shook his head, claiming that there was no need for such a thing. Since the Heaven-Mending Pavilion had already accepted him, there would be no change, even if Shi Yi was embroiled in trouble.
This is not the style of the Butian Pavilion.
Hearing him say that, Shi Yi felt a little relieved. If he hadn't read the original novel and knew the character of the Pavilion Master of Butian Pavilion, he would never have dared to expose himself like that.
"Crack!"
With a cracking sound, the Tai Chi mask on Shi Yi's face split open at the yin-yang dividing line, immediately breaking into two halves, disintegrating on the spot, turning into black and white energies, and dissipating between heaven and earth.
He revealed his true appearance. Although he was only six years old, his eyes already showed a heroic spirit. His double pupils were covered with symbols, and they were incredibly deep, like two abysses that could devour everything and see through people's hearts.
After hearing Shi Yi's apology, the Pavilion Master of Butian Pavilion was somewhat prepared for the question of his identity.
But when he finally saw Shi Yi's true face and those double pupils, he was still surprised.
"Double pupils? You are... Shi Yi from the Martial King's Mansion of the Stone Kingdom?" The Pavilion Master of the Butian Pavilion spoke up, revealing Shi Yi's background.
Those with double pupils are extremely rare in the world. They are born with endless halos, such as ancient saints and born gods... Six years ago, when Shi Yi was born, the entire capital of the Shi Kingdom was shaken. The news even reached the Butian Pavilion. It was not surprising that the Pavilion Master knew about Shi Yi.
"This disciple is Shi Yi from the Martial King's Mansion." Shi Yi nodded in acknowledgment.
The Pavilion Master looked thoughtful and asked, "Since you are a member of the Martial King's Mansion, why are you dressed like this and claiming to be from the Profound Domain? Could it be that you have encountered some misfortune or offended some enemies?"
As a powerful expert in the Array Formation Realm, he had encountered similar situations before and had extensive experience, so he quickly guessed the general idea.
Shi Yi nodded.
Upon hearing this, the Pavilion Master of Butian Pavilion's eyes flickered before he said, "Even the Martial King's Mansion and the Stone Kingdom cannot protect you. It seems that your enemies are far more powerful than you can imagine. Looking across the entire Desolate Region, perhaps only those Venerables from the Primordial Divine Mountain can rival you."
"Your Excellency is wise."
"Could you tell me which sacred mountain's Venerable One your enemy is? I remember that the Martial King's Mansion and Demon Spirit Lake have some connection. Could it be from this lineage?" the Pavilion Master asked again.
Shi Yi hesitated for a moment before telling the truth.
"Reporting to the Pavilion Master, at this very moment, the Venerables of the Ancient Divine Mountain who wish to find the disciple are enough to form a long queue."
Apart from the two founders of Demon Spirit Lake, everyone else is my enemy.
Upon hearing this, the Pavilion Master of Butian Pavilion was stunned. Even though he was very shrewd, he was shocked at this moment.
What exactly did Shi Yi do to warrant such a collective attack from the Venerables of the Ancient Divine Mountain? Clearly, there are some unknown secrets hidden here.
However, the Pavilion Master did not press the matter further, as he understood how difficult Shi Yi's situation was at the moment.
The fact that a six-year-old child from the Bloodstained Realm had to live in anonymity demonstrates the seriousness of the situation.
Only now did he understand why Shi Yi apologized before taking off his mask. Once his identity was exposed, the Ancient Pure Land was not enough for the Venerable of the Primordial Divine Mountain to attack. Moreover, the Patching Heaven Pavilion already had many enemies from the Divine Mountain. If they could find a reason to invade the Pure Land, they would be laughing in their dreams.
After a moment of contemplation, the Pavilion Master of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion asked, "So now, as a prodigy of the Profound Domain, why have you joined the Heaven-Mending Pavilion?"
Seeking refuge? Finding a hiding place? Or something else?
Shi Yi did not hide anything and directly stated his purpose.
"To be honest, Master, I came here for the Ancient Sacred Academy. I've heard that it contains the profound insights of various sages and ancient masters, great opportunities, and even the legendary art of mending the heavens."
The Pavilion Master nodded: "Yes, it is indeed an unimaginable place of opportunity, a world of its own, with extremely harsh conditions for opening, and it can only be opened once every hundred years."
Therefore, the cultivators qualified to allow the Heaven-Mending Pavilion to open the Ancient Sacred Academy must be unparalleled geniuses who have never been born.
Judging by the time, the cooldown period there has ended, and it can be reopened.
With your current strength and qualifications, you are more than qualified to enter the Ancient Sacred Academy. However, I suggest you wait a bit longer. You should at least reach the Cave Heaven Realm or the Spirit Transformation Realm before entering. Refining your bloodline too early is too early; you probably won't go very far.
Upon hearing this, Shi Yi knew that the matter of the Ancient Holy Academy was settled.
He nodded in agreement with the Pavilion Master's suggestion. It was indeed too early to move blood. Even though he was at the strongest level of moving blood, he was still very inexperienced. This could not be rushed.
"Thank you for your kindness, Pavilion Master. I will repay you handsomely when my cultivation is successful in the future." Shi Yi bowed to the Pavilion Master.
Knowing that the entire Ancient Divine Mountain was searching for him, he was still able to remain calm and accept Shi Yi. It has to be said that the Pavilion Master of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion has extraordinary courage.
The Pavilion Master smiled but said nothing. As the master of the ancient Pure Land, he had a long-term vision. The seemingly peaceful Heaven-Mending Pavilion was actually always on the verge of a storm, and a catastrophe was not far away.
