"Junior Chen Mu pays respects to the Peak Master."

Chen Mu, upon seeing Qin Mengjun, was immediately able to discern all of the Artistic Conceptions he had mastered, without any surprise. The gap in their Realms was so vast that it was impossible for him to conceal his own level.

He walked to Meng Danyun's side and also respectfully saluted Qin Mengjun.

"Rise."

The voice of Qin Mengjun was very gentle.

Meng Danyun quietly said, "Junior Brother Chen's talents were too concealed in Yu County, Elder Qi also thought that Junior Brother Chen should come to the main sect for cultivation, so I brought him to see Master first."

Qin Mengjun glanced at Meng Danyun and smiled, "You must not have told him that Qi Zhiyuan asked him to choose one of the peaks other than Great Profound Peak, and you just brought him straight here."

"Master... Master!"

Meng Danyun suddenly felt embarrassed; she indeed had a little scheme to secretly have Chen Mu directly join Spirit Profound Peak, but Qin Mengjun saw through it and pointed it out directly.

Qin Mengjun gently descended from the rock, extended a jade-like finger to gently tap on the forehead of Meng Danyun, and then turned to look at Chen Mu with a gentle expression:

"I am not in good condition these days and often find myself absent-minded, with few moments of lucidity. If you choose to follow Spirit Profound Peak, I might not always be able to guide you. I see that your cultivation path follows the Qian Heaven, hmm, Liu, the Peak Master of Shao Profound Peak, is also a Grandmaster of the Qian Heaven tradition. You may choose yourself."

Oh, Master!

Meng Danyun was secretly worried.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

As she was approaching the age to step into the Six Viscera Realm, Spirit Profound Peak was yet to find a suitable successor for the position of True Disciple. Qin Mengjun was spouting all these truthful concerns, leaving her, the oldest disciple, very worried.

However,

Chen Mu, at that moment, looked at Qin Mengjun with a calm expression, seemingly without much thought, and said:

"Junior wishes to follow Spirit Profound Peak."

He had no particular preference for any specific peak; due to Meng Danyun's intervention, he was very likely to choose Spirit Profound Peak. Having initially met Qin Mengjun, the Peak Master—perhaps due to his masterly demeanor or his personality—it was clear that he was of a calm and serene nature, and Chen Mu also desired an environment where he could cultivate in peace.

At least for now, whether it was the environment or the atmosphere at Spirit Profound Peak or anything else, nothing had displeased him, hence he naturally had no intention of considering other peaks.

"Hmm."

Qin Mengjun, with a slight smile, showed no significant change in expression upon Chen Mu's choice of Spirit Profound Peak, only his voice remained gentle, "Then you are the next generation True Disciple of Spirit Profound Peak, my fourth True Disciple."

"Disciple pays his respects to Master."

Chen Mu solemnly performed the ritual of paying respect to his Master.

The so-called True Disciples,

unlike the Inner Sect Disciples, are indeed those who can directly disciple under the Peak Masters, being the eldest brother or sister among the disciples of a peak, and also have unhindered access to all the scriptures and Artistic Conception Maps of the Seven Profound Sect for cultivation and insight.

Meng Danyun watched in surprise as despite Qin Mengjun mentioning he might not always be able to guide him, Chen Mu still chose Spirit Profound Peak, somewhat relieving her heart. But then, recalling the events at the 'Chen Residence' a few days prior, a bizarre thought popped into her mind—could it be that Chen Mu...

She quickly shook her head vigorously, nipping the disrespectful thought about her master in the bud.

"Alright, rise."

Qin Mengjun, smiling, watched Chen Mu complete the ritual and said, "If you have any questions about the affairs of Spirit Profound Peak, just ask your Senior Sister Meng. Now that you are my disciple, you have access to all the scriptures and Artistic Conception Maps at the Hall of Transmission for your cultivation. If you encounter any difficulties in comprehending Artistic Conceptions, you can come to me, though I can only guide you when I am lucid."

"Disciple understands."

Chen Mu stood up.

Qin Mengjun then turned to look at Meng Danyun, smiling, "Danyun, this trip seems to have brought you a lot of gains. Xun Wind and Kan Water have progressed; you've finally overcome the difficulties." Enjoy exclusive chapters from empire

"It's all thanks to Junior Brother Chen; without him, it's hard to say where I would be right now."

Meng Danyun looked at Qin Mengjun.

Qin Mengjun smiled and extended his hand, apparently intending to make an encouraging gesture, but midway, his hand gradually slowed down, and he once again became absent-minded, maintaining this pose motionlessly.

"Master, Master?"

Meng Danyun, seeing this, was not too surprised, as it seemed to be a common occurrence; she just quietly called out a couple of times.

Qin Mengjun still stood there transfixed, unresponsive.

With a sigh,

Meng Danyun cautiously stepped forward, lowered Qin Mengjun's hand, then bent down, picking up Qin Mengjun and gently leaping up to place her back on the rock, exactly as she had been when they arrived.

On the rock, Qin Mengjun still sat there, gazing blankly at the tree canopy, just as when they had arrived.

Then Meng Danyun stepped down from the rock, walked up to Chen Mu, and noticing his somewhat astonished expression, quietly explained, "Master is like this sometimes, she becomes absent-minded while talking. She has asked me to put her back on the rock whenever she becomes absent-minded... But you must never get too close when Master is in this state, as she can still sense and react to any malice from the outside world, and getting too close can be dangerous, yes, desire is also a form of malice."
