On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

Due to Duan Shu's training, he completely forgot about that challenge.

Although Chen Tian wasn't originally interested, he felt obligated to participate after making a promise.

"To begin with, I wasn't interested and planned to refuse, but you persuaded me to accept, so I complied," Chen Tian complained.

Xu Zhiyuan chuckled, "I had a purpose in doing that. I wanted you to participate so you could raise your rank in the Outer Court."

"Raise my rank? Why?" Chen Tian asked, perplexed by Xu Zhiyuan's sudden interest in his progress within the Outer Court.

This time, Duan Shu interjected, "Xu Zhiyuan wants you to become an inner disciple, not just raise your rank."

"An inner disciple? That's a significant leap from my current status," Chen Tian exclaimed.

In the Immortal Sword Sect Outer Court, there are currently 30,000 outer disciples.

His current rank was the lowest since he entered the sect and had his cultivation concealed; he was ranked the lowest, even Su Bingxin was ranked higher than him.

Becoming an inner disciple wasn't that easy.

Becoming an inner disciple as an Outer disciple was challenging, requiring them to first rank among the top 30 in the Outer Court.

Only then would that disciple have the chance to participate in the inner disciple selection competition, where they would have to prove their skills and strength in various challenges.

Chen Tian knew that he had a long way to go before he could reach the top 30, as he would need to challenge many disciples before he could reach the coveted spot.

The only way for someone to raise his rank was to challenge and defeat higher-ranked disciples in a series of battles, however, there was a rule that no one could challenge someone higher than their current rank by 20 positions.

That means Chen Tian would have to challenge every 20 positions until he reached his goal of being in the top 30.

Chen Tian found the task daunting and considered it not a significant matter, leading to his reluctance.

He wasn't scared or worried that he would lose, but for him, it was a waste of his time.

"Mm, Elder Shu, why does Master want him to become an inner disciple?" Su Bingxin asked, looking at Duan Shu for an explanation.

The girl's eyes sparkled with curiosity as she awaited an answer. Due to her time with Yin Yun, she became more familiar with the sect's rules and understood the challenges of becoming an inner disciple.

Duan Shu glanced at Xu Zhiyuan before replying, "A significant event that could impact all major continents is imminent, but only high-ranking disciples within the sect will have the opportunity to participate and play crucial roles, and Xu Zhiyuan wants both of you to participate in it."

"M-Me!" Su Bingxin stammered, surprised by the unexpected words.

She naturally panicked, since there was no way she could become an inner disciple in such a short time.

"I understand, so you want us to become inner disciples so we can participate?"

"Mhm, but not just an inner disciple. You need to also become a core disciple to have a chance at being part of this upcoming event," Xu Zhiyuan replied, his eyes serious.

"C-Core Disciple!" Su Bingxin gasped in shock.

She fully understood the significance of becoming a core disciple within the sect, not only would enormous resources and opportunities be available, but the weakest Core disciple was a Soul Formation cultivator!

How could she reach that level!

Chen Tian also frowned.

Considering his current strength, it was impossible for him to become a core disciple at this moment.

Chen Tian wasn't the opponent of someone in the Soul Formation realm or even someone in the Core Formation Realm yet.

"Is Yin Yun also?" Chen Tian wanted to ask if Yin Yun would also participate in the event, since she was also a Core Disciple.

"Yes, little Yun, Zou Yang, and Qiu Xufeng, that you met on the Tevat continent, all of them would participate," Xu Zhiyuan replied.

Chen Tian nodded.

As for why people like Yin Yun, Zou Yang, and Qiu Xufeng, could be considered Core disciples, it is because they are under a powerful elder of the sect who recognized their potential and promoted them to higher ranks within the sect.

Even if their cultivation base is low compared to some other Core Disciples, their talents and potential are highly valued by the sect.

It was evident to Chen Tian that with the cultivation levels of Yin Yun, Zou Yang, and Qiu Xufeng, the sect could not afford to have them participate in an event of such magnitude.

"How much time?" Chen Tian asked, and his eyes landed on Xu Zhiyuan.

Xu Zhiyuan smiled cryptically, "Clever kid, it will happen soon, in about five years."

"5 years!"

Chen Tian exclaimed in surprise. "That's a lot sooner than I expected." The idea of the major continents being affected by such an event was something that will happen in 5 years.

However, what surprised Chen Tian was the timing. Continue reading at mvl

Since only Core Disciples could participate, the lowest cultivation would be at the Soul Formation Realm.

Reaching the Soul Formation Realm, which demands years of effort, is unrealistic within a 5-year timeframe for individuals like Yin Yun, Zou Yang, and Qiu Xufeng, who are currently at the Meridian Opening Realm.

For him, 5 years is enough to reach the Dao Fusion Realm or higher, since he has a cheat code that accelerates his cultivation speed.

But others didn't!

Even Su Bingxin couldn't believe that one could reach such a high level in such a short amount of time. It seemed almost impossible.

"Hehe, you kids are underestimating the power of our Immortal Sword sect." Xu Zhiyuan smiled slyly, his eyes twinkling with pride.

With the right resources, anything is possible.

"The initial seven levels before the dao stages are relatively easy to cultivate with adequate resources. Our sect has been cultivating for generations, accumulating vast amounts of resources.

Of course, such treatment is only for the outstanding disciples who show great potential."
