1837 Promotion to Sixth Great True Disciple

Since he had achieved his goal, Chu Yunfan didn't kill Ye Yin. Killing too many people from the same sect was not a long-term solution. There would definitely be many people who would criticize him. Even Sect Leader Situ Xuan, who was on his side, would probably be dissatisfied.

After all, geniuses like Ye Yin were not cabbages. They would only come in small batches after another. To nurture Ye Yin, the Flying Celestials had invested countless resources. It was almost as if they had high hopes that he would be nurtured as the pillar of the sect's next generation. If they died in the hands of their own people, the higher-ups would probably go crazy.

Suddenly, just as Chu Yunfan was about to leave, a beam of light swept down from the sky, and a figure appeared before him.

"It's Eldest Senior! He's here!"

Everyone recognized this person at a glance. Who else could it be other than Yang Dengxian, the chief disciple?

"Greetings, Eldest Senior!" Everyone bowed.

"No need to be so polite. Junior Chu, please come with me." Yang Dengxian nodded.

After Yang Dengxian finished speaking, he disappeared from where he stood in a beam of light. Chu Yunfan also disappeared, chasing after the beam of light.

"Is this the end? It's simply unbelievable. Senior Ye actually lost to Senior Chu!"

"And Senior Chu absolutely crushed Senior Ye! Is this the strength of those on the prodigy list?"

"I finally understand why Senior Brother Ye hasn't been able to make it onto the prodigy list for so many years. It seems like they're at the same cultivation level, but their combat strength is probably far apart. With Senior Chu's strength, he's only ranked in the top 100. Are the top 99 all monsters?"

Everyone instantly exploded into an uproar. More people were curious about why Yang Dengxian had suddenly appeared after the fight and looked for Chu Yunfan.

Chu Yunfan followed Yang Dengxian into a small pavilion on the top of a mountain. Yang Dengxian sat down on a jade stool while Chu Yunfan sat opposite him.

"Congratulations, Junior Chu." Yang Dengxian glanced at Chu Yunfan and smiled a little.

"Congratulations?" Chu Yunfan asked.

"Firstly, congratulations on defeating Junior Ye. From now on, no one will dare to underestimate you. Secondly, congratulations on becoming one of the six great true disciples of the Flying Celestials," Yang Dengxian said with a smile.

"Six great true disciples?" Chu Yunfan cocked an eyebrow.

"That's right." Yang Dengxian nodded. "From now on, the Flying Celestials will have six great true disciples instead of just five."

Chu Yunfan naturally understood the benefits of becoming one of the great true disciples. Although they were all true disciples, there were different grades of true disciples. The core of the true disciples was naturally the great true disciples.

If nothing unexpected happened, these great true disciples would be the next sect leader, vice sect leader, and supreme elders. These true disciples would be nurtured in every way.

And now, Chu Yunfan was listed as one of the great true disciples. The benefits in the future were naturally unquestionable. He would no longer be as dispensable as he was now. On the contrary, he would become the true core of the sect.

Being on equal footing with the others was not only in terms of strength but most importantly, in terms of status.

"Junior Chu, you will have a share of everything that we can enjoy in the future," Yang Dengxian said smilingly.

Of course, Chu Yunfan understood that this was what he had fought for after defeating Ye Yin. If he was defeated by Ye Yin, everything would naturally be over. He would be beaten back to his original state and would be regarded as a lucky person.

Though he had killed Wang Yifan and injured Jiang Wan'an, people would think that he was just lucky. At that time, even Situ Xuan, who had thought highly of him, would not care about him as much as he did now. Therefore, the battle with Ye Yin was one he could not afford to lose.

However, Ye Yin was different. Even if he lost and his reputation was damaged, he would still be one of the great true disciples and nothing would change for him. Of course, now that Chu Yunfan had won, there was no need to mention this. Smart people knew what was going on.

Chu Yunfan didn't have any complaints about this. Such a system was beneficial to him. As long as he continued to show his value, the entire sect would support him with all their might. It was just like how they supported Yang Dengxian. Otherwise, even if Yang Dengxian was a genius, it would be impossible for him to become the twentieth place on the prodigy list.

Yang Dengxian looked at the calm Chu Yunfan, who did not look overjoyed about being promoted to great true disciple. He became a little emotional. At least he had done a good job in maintaining his Qi. When he had been promoted to great true disciple and was confirmed to be the next sect leader, he had been excited for a long time.

However, Chu Yunfan's rise was too fast, so fast that no one could react in time. Before, he was just an ordinary inner disciple, but now he was qualified to be on equal footing with him. This was simply a miracle.

If Ynag Dengxian hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that someone could rise so quickly. In fact, the information that he had received about Chu Yunfan and the Violet Thunder Sword Sect was something that he doubted.

After all, the Violet Thunder Swords once dominated a region and was not necessarily weaker than the current Flying Celestials. However, that was a matter of the past and the Violet Thunder Swords had long declined for god knows how many years. Yang Dengxian did not believe that the sect's legacy had allowed Chu Yunfan to advance to this level.

"However Junior Chu, although you have defeated Junior Ye and won the recognition of everyone in the sect, there are still many who intend to defeat you to enter the prodigy list," Yang Dengxian said, "Every time the prodigy list is announced, the last few people will often face endless challenges. It's not rare for even the experts on the prodigy list to be kicked off their horses. Junior Chu, you appeared too suddenly. There are many people who are surely against you."

The prodigy list was not completely accurate. After all, there were some people who could block deductions. There were even many who cultivated in the deep mountains and forests. They did not appear in the world, but once they appeared, they would amaze the world. Some people might have a fortuitous encounter and their strength would soar quickly, surpassing the prodigy list. This was also a common thing.

Chu Yunfan sneered. He knew how important the prodigy list was to the younger generation. There were countless geniuses in the world, and there were only a few hundred people on the rankings. Even if they were only at the bottom, it was enough for a sect to do its best to nurture them.

After all, Yang Dengxian was the only one of the Flying Celestials on the list, wasn't he?
