Chapter 1542
When Xiao Hua arrived at Gen Lei Palace with the sun, it was already noon. Under the bright sun, Gen Lei Palace appeared resplendent on the mountain peak.
There were still many young disciples shuttling back and forth in Gen Lei Palace. Some were busy while some were leisurely. In short, it was a warm scene.
Within Gen Lei Palace, there was a very deep and quiet place. Two bored disciples were standing in front of a simple and unadorned palace door.
These two disciples were at Qi Refining Stage Level 67. They were tall and straight, with a face as white as jade. Occasionally, there would be arrogance between their brows. With one look, one could tell that they were not easy to get along with.
At this moment, the disciple on the left wearing a white robe looked at the empty corridor in front of him and couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, where did that Xiao Hua run off to?
It has already been 79 hours, why hasn't anyone brought him to Jade Archive Hall?
Was this guy killed to silence him? "
"Hehe, Junior Gen Liang, Xiao Hua is the number one disciple in this year's disciple selection. He has some tricks up his sleeves. How could he be killed silently in the Imperial Thunder Sect?"
"Bullshit, he is just a bullshit!
I heard from the disciples that came to Jade Archive Hall yesterday that this guy is just a loose cultivator. The disciples of the other clans all keep their number plates as favors, but he stupidly took it himself.
If that's the case … then naturally he is the number one disciple!
But how much is this number one disciple?
Don't you think so, Senior Gen Ming? "
"Hmph, that means this Xiao Hua is also a brainless guy. If they really fought, he wouldn't be a match for the other disciples!"
"Of course, Senior Gen Liang, don't forget that this year we recruited 49 disciples. It is ten times more than before. Those true experts will pass as long as they can and won't put in more effort.
This is because they know that the true strength … is during the disciple selection and the cultivation after entering Gen Lei Palace!
Without any support, it is impossible for him to establish himself in the Imperial Thunder Sect! "
"En, I know.
Although Xiao Hua's results are good, his aptitude is not good. In the first round, he wasn't chosen by the other Martial Uncles. In the second round, he was barely chosen by Martial Uncle Wu Hai from the Myriad Thunder Valley … "
"Hehe, speaking of Martial Uncle Wu Hai, why do I feel that Xiao Hua being chosen by Martial Uncle Wu Hai … was a trap set by Martial Uncle Gen?"
"What do you mean?"
"Think about it. The disciple that Senior Uncle Helplessness had chosen was taken away by someone else. Senior Uncle Helplessness wanted to use this as a pretext to make a fuss. How could Senior Uncle Gen let him do as he wished?
Wouldn't he have to quickly find a disciple who could be of use to him?
If he doesn't give face to Gen Lei Palace, will Senior Uncle Gen give him face? "
Gen Liang laughed and said, "Senior Brother Gen Ming is overthinking things. I don't think it's that complicated!
Unfortunately, Martial Uncle only has one disciple. He is far from being able to accomplish anything. In this lifetime, he will only be in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Perhaps Martial Uncle Gen is … "
While they were talking, the sound of footsteps could be heard from the empty corridor in the distance.
"Shh, I'm afraid that Martial Uncle Helplessness has brought Xiao Hua over!"
Gen Ming furrowed his brows and said, "Senior Martial Uncle, you're so annoying. You brought Xiao Hua out of the Spring Thunder Hall yesterday, so why are you only here now?
Why are you … "
"Hehe, it doesn't seem to be Senior Martial Uncle Helplessness. It's Xiang Yang, the one who built his foundation in a hundred years!" Gen Liang's eyes were sharp.
"Good, good, good ~" Although Gen Ming's mouth was full of praise, his eyes were filled with mockery.
Xiao Hua followed Xiang Yang. After flying for a long time, he felt that Xiang Yang's flying technique wasn't very good. It was much worse than his own. He couldn't help but ask why Xiang Yang didn't use the Lightning Evasion.
However, Xiang Yang smiled bitterly and explained the reason behind it.
It turned out that although the Lightning Escape Technique was a unique escape technique of the Imperial Thunder Sect, not every disciple of the Imperial Thunder Sect had the opportunity to practice it. Only disciples with suitable physiques and profound cultivations could practice it.
Moreover, the Eight Great Lightning Palaces of the Imperial Thunder Sect all had the Lightning Evasion. Among them, the Heavenly Lightning Palace had the most complete Lightning Evasion. It was divided into nine levels. The other Lightning Palaces either didn't have the complete Lightning Evasion, or it was modified according to the physique of the disciples.
Thus, Xiao Hua understood why Sect Master Qian Leizi was so happy to teach Senior Martial Uncle Helplessness the Lightning Evasion of the Heavenly Lightning Palace.
As the two talked, they arrived in front of the Jade Archive Hall. Looking at the spacious corridor, Xiao Hua smiled and said, "Eldest Martial Brother, there were many disciples in the other palaces of the Heavenly Lightning Palace. Why didn't I see anyone here?"
"Hehe, I'm glad to let you know. The Jade Archive Hall is where the new disciples register. Every year, new disciples enter the Jade Archive Hall. Only disciples at the peak of the twelfth layer of the Qi Refining realm who break through to the Foundation Building realm can open the Jade Archive Hall. They have to leave their spirit tablets in the hall.
"Is that so?"
As Xiao Hua walked, he saw Gen Liang and Gen Ming standing in front of the door. He asked curiously, "Is the registration … done by Qi Refining disciples?"
"Of course not. They are only the gatekeepers!" Xiang Yang said in a low voice. The two of them walked to the front of the Jade Archive Hall.
Coincidentally, when the two of them were only a few feet away from the door, Gen Liang and Gen Ming looked at each other and clapped their hands. A two-colored light flew out from each of their hands and struck the two sides of the Jade Archive Hall's door. "Shua!" A four-colored light swept down from the door and sealed the door in the blink of an eye. The two of them didn't even look at Xiao Hua and Xiang Yang and were about to leave.
"Aiyo ~" Xiao Hua didn't understand. Xiang Yang, on the other hand, was very anxious. He hurriedly took a few steps forward and shouted, "Martial Nephews, I brought Xiao Hua to the Jade Archive Hall to register. Why did Martial Nephews close the Jade Archive Hall?"
"Hehe, Martial Uncle, are you Xiao Hua's Master?" Gen Liang asked with a smile.
"I, of course not …" Xiang Yang smiled apologetically and said, "But … I was following Master's orders …"
"Since Martial Uncle isn't Xiao Hua's Master, how can you bring Xiao Hua to register?"
Gen Ming said with a fake smile, "It's better to wait until Martial Uncle cultivates to the late stage of Foundation Establishment and has the qualifications to choose disciples. Then you can bring your own disciple to register!"
These words were originally spoken with a normal tone, but when it came out of Gen Ming's mouth and entered Xiang Yang's ears, it already changed its meaning. It was a pun within a pun!
Xiang Yang's expression changed and his eyes were about to spit fire. However, he slightly turned his body and looked at Xiao Hua, whose face was as calm as water. He sighed in his heart and forced a smile on his face. He said in a low voice, "I am Xiang Yang, a disciple of the Thunder Palace's Ten Thousand Thunder Valley. Because Master is busy in the Ten Thousand Thunder Valley, he didn't have time to spare. Thus, he ordered I to bring Junior Martial Brother here to register.
My Imperial Thunder Sect doesn't have a rule that requires a Master to bring a disciple here to register, right?
Normally, when the Masters come to Thunder Palace, they would bring their disciples here. I am also an early stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, so I can barely register … "
"Martial Uncle Xiang, it's easy for you to say. Are you the guard of Jade Archive Hall or am I the guard?
Do you know the rules of Jade Archive Hall or am I the one who knows the rules of Jade Archive Hall?
I have been on guard here for many years. Every year, there would be Masters bringing their disciples here to register. I have never heard of an early stage Foundation Establishment cultivator bringing a disciple here to register! "
"But … ten years ago … I indeed saw it with my own eyes!" Xiang Yang was a little anxious.
"Hehe, Martial Uncle Xiang, I saw it ten years ago. However, I only came to Jade Archive Hall nine years ago. I don't know about that kind of thing!"
Gen Ming still had a fake smile on his face. "Please return to Martial Uncle Xiang. Next year at this time, Martial Uncle Xiang will bring Xiao Hua here!"
"Next year?" Xiao Hua was stunned. His expression didn't change.
"Hehe, you see, you also know that there isn't enough time. Today's matter is something I don't understand and didn't explain it clearly to Master. I hope the two of you can make an exception … If we register another year later, won't we delay Xiao Hua's cultivation for a year?
This is not appropriate! "
"Eh?
You also know it's not appropriate? "Gen Ming said angrily." If you know it's not appropriate, why didn't you come here yesterday?
Why did you make us wait here for twenty-four hours?
If you know it's not appropriate, why didn't the Master come and send a disciple instead?
Isn't this not taking Jade Archive Hall seriously? "
Xiang Yang looked left and right. He clapped his hands and took out a few high-grade spirit stones from his storage bag. He quietly handed them over. His face was already red. He smiled and said, "This … has nothing to do with my Master. It's all I's fault for making things difficult for the two of you!
These spirit stones … can be considered as I's compensation! "
"Hehe, Martial Uncle Xiang is quite polite!"
When Gen Liang saw this, he reached out his hand to remember it. Weighing the spirit stones in his hand, he casually waved his hand, causing the high grade spirit stones to scatter to the ground. With a cold expression, he said, "What a pity, it's only a few high grade spirit stones.
Martial Uncle Xiang, it's fine if your Myriad Thunder Valley is poor, but don't treat Jade Archive Hall as beggars. Even if you kneel down and give these spirit stones to Jade Archive Hall, Jade Archive Hall won't accept them! "
"You …" Xiang Yang's face became redder and redder. However, just as his anger rose, he forced it down. "Hehe, it's all I's fault, it's all I's fault …" Xiang Yang was so angry that he forgot to use a spell. He squatted down and … picked up the spirit stones!
"Damn it, you've gone too far!"
Just as Xiang Yang squatted down, Xiao Hua finally couldn't take it anymore. At this moment, he understood the meaning of Yan Qinglian's words when Xiang Yang came out!
Thinking of Eldest Senior Brother's honest appearance, he was actually forced into such a state by these two twelfth layer Qi Refining juniors. Xiao Hua's temper, which had been ignited long ago, finally exploded!
"Hehe, a piece of trash that no one wants, you're actually so arrogant?"
Hearing Xiao Hua's angry shout, Gen Liang slightly tilted his head and scolded with a smile, "You're just a rogue cultivator with no reason. You think you can be arrogant just because you got first place this time?"
Hearing this, Xiao Hua was furious …
