The Grand Sky Sect occupies the entire Grand Sky Mountain Range, and within it, the sect is divided into eighteen palaces. However, above these palaces lies the Grand Sky Palace, where the Sect Master resides.

Disciples of the Grand Sky Sect follow various elders in the eighteen palaces for their cultivation, but the Grand Sky Palace is different.

There are no elite disciples or core disciples in the Grand Sky Palace; it only has the Sect Master's personal disciples.

Gu Mingchao took over as the Sect Master of this generation of the Grand Sky Sect thirty years ago. Yet, in all these thirty years, he never accepted a single disciple. Who would have thought that today, he would personally request to take Chu Xinghe as his personal disciple?

Everyone present was stunned.

The Sect Master's only personal disciple!

What an honor!

The Sect Master's personal disciple is also known as... the Chief Disciple!

That's right, the Sect Master's personal disciple is the Chief Disciple of the Grand Sky Sect.

Gu Mingchao had not taken a disciple for thirty years, but today, Chu Xinghe's acquisition of the Grand Sky Sword Box finally moved Gu Mingchao. Gu Mingchao intended to treat him as a disciple to pass on his legacy. If he could receive Gu Mingchao's legacy, then in the future...

Everyone was moved, and countless eyes fell on Chu Xinghe. At this moment, as long as Chu Xinghe nodded, he would become the Sect Master's personal disciple, instantly becoming the Chief Disciple of this generation in the Grand Sky Sect!

"I'm sorry, Sect Master, I don't want to become your personal disciple."

What?

In an instant, everyone was dumbfounded, including Gu Mingchao, who looked at Chu Xinghe in disbelief.

He refused?

Chu Xinghe actually refused?

He refused the opportunity to become the Sect Master's personal disciple, to become the Chief Disciple?

Crazy... this guy must be crazy.

Even the Great Elder looked at Chu Xinghe in disbelief.

When the Sect Master expressed his intention to take Chu Xinghe as a personal disciple, to be honest, the Great Elder was somewhat resistant. After all, he didn't want such an outstanding disciple to leave the Spirit Crane Palace.

But thinking about Chu Xinghe's future, the Great Elder ultimately didn't speak up. After all, becoming the Sect Master's personal disciple meant a chance to become the next Sect Master, an opportunity the Great Elder didn't want Chu Xinghe to miss.

Even the Great Elder thought Chu Xinghe would nod and agree, but who would have thought... Chu Xinghe refused?

"Sect Master, I come from a small place called Hillside Village. My parents died when I was young, and I grew up on the kindness of the villagers. Joining the Grand Sky Sect is the proudest moment of my life. In the Grand Sky Sect, I felt the warmth of my fellow brothers and sisters, and I met the Great Elder, who made me feel the warmth of family and parental care for the first time. On the day I joined the Spirit Crane Palace, I silently told myself that since the Great Elder treats me as his own, I will also treat him as my parent. Once a teacher, always a father. I want to stay in the Spirit Crane Palace to serve the Great Elder."

Chu Xinghe spoke slowly and calmly, but as his words fell, the entire place fell silent.

When Chu Xinghe refused the Sect Master, everyone thought he was crazy. What kind of sky-high opportunity was this?

But after hearing Chu Xinghe's words, even Gu Mingchao couldn't help but be moved.

Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.

Faced with the opportunity to become Gu Mingchao's disciple, countless people would fight tooth and nail for it, but Chu Xinghe didn't forget his roots...

When Gu Mingchao heard that Chu Xinghe shouted in the Spirit Tomb that one must not forget their original intention, he didn't think much of it. But at this moment, Gu Mingchao was truly shocked by Chu Xinghe. This little guy... he doesn't just pay lip service to his original intention; he truly never dares to forget it.

"Xinghe... good... good... good..." The Great Elder stepped forward and embraced Chu Xinghe.

Those words just now truly moved the Great Elder from the bottom of his heart.

There have been disciples in the Spirit Crane Palace who shouted that the Great Elder was like a parent to them, but when faced with the opportunity to become the Sect Master's disciple, they probably forgot those words long ago.

"Good child..."

Gu Mingchao's face finally showed a genuine smile.

When he inquired about Chu Xinghe's situation earlier, he found that most of the elders praised Chu Xinghe, which made Gu Mingchao suspect that it was arranged by the Great Elder.

Otherwise, how could there be such an outstanding child in the world?

But at this moment, Gu Mingchao had no doubts. This child, not only has exceptional talent, but his disposition is also unprecedented. Perhaps it is precisely because of this pure and sincere nature that he was able to gain the recognition of the Grand Sky Sword Box.

"Good child, I permit you to stay in the Spirit Crane Palace, but your talent must not be wasted. I will personally teach you the Grand Sky Battle Intent!"

Gu Mingchao spoke again, and this time, the place erupted!

The Grand Sky Battle Intent?

The Sect Master wants to teach Chu Xinghe the Grand Sky Battle Intent?

It's known that only the Sect Master's personal disciples are qualified to learn the Grand Sky Battle Intent, and those who learn it are basically selected as future successors of the Sect Master.

Very few in the entire Grand Sky Sect are qualified to learn the Grand Sky Battle Intent.

No one expected that even after being refused by Chu Xinghe, Gu Mingchao was still willing to teach him the Grand Sky Battle Intent.

"Hurry and thank the Sect Master for his teaching..." The Great Elder was so excited that his eyes turned red.

Now he truly regarded Chu Xinghe as his own son.

"Ah... thank you, Sect Master..." Chu Xinghe was dumbfounded.

What the hell... what's going on? How did it come to teaching me the Grand Sky Battle Intent?

When Gu Mingchao initially expressed his intention to take him as a personal disciple, Chu Xinghe was actually excited and almost knelt down in acceptance.

But Chu Xinghe quickly realized.

In the Spirit Crane Palace, it's already extremely difficult to have his core disciple status removed, let alone if he became the Sect Master's personal disciple. How would he ever get expelled from the sect?

Step by step to become a Martial Emperor? Come on, look at these old guys around, there are a few Martial Emperors, but they've cultivated their whole lives.

My dream is to be expelled from the sect...

Originally, Chu Xinghe even thought that by refusing the Sect Master on the spot, such a face-slapping move would make the Sect Master either expel him from the sect in anger or at least give him a hard time, eventually using his authority to expel him. Isn't that the normal routine?

But why is he suddenly teaching me the Grand Sky Battle Intent?

But now, Chu Xinghe couldn't even find a suitable reason to refuse.

"Good child, stay in the Spirit Crane Palace. From today on, you are my personal disciple!"

The Great Elder, who was moved to tears, spoke, and Chu Xinghe almost cried.

So, in the end, he couldn't escape the identity of a personal disciple?

The only consolation for Chu Xinghe was that being the Great Elder's personal disciple probably had a higher chance of being expelled from the sect than being the Sect Master's personal disciple.

Gu Mingchao nodded with a smile, and a group of elders came up to congratulate the Great Elder.

Seeing their envious faces, the Great Elder's face bloomed like a chrysanthemum once again.

Gu Mingchao handed Chu Xinghe a Grand Sky Token and left. With the Grand Sky Token, he could go to the Grand Sky Palace to learn the Grand Sky Sect's strongest technique, the Grand Sky Battle Intent, from Gu Mingchao.

Countless disciples around looked at the shining Grand Sky Token in Chu Xinghe's hand with envy.

After all, coming out of the Spirit Tomb, everyone's cultivation level was either already at the Second Grade or about to reach it, so it was time to go to the Skill Tower to choose techniques.

Although the Grand Sky Sect has countless techniques, the top-level techniques are not something ordinary disciples are qualified to learn. They must show enough talent to impress the elders to be granted the opportunity to learn stronger techniques.

But Chu Xinghe was able to learn the Grand Sky Sect's strongest technique, the Grand Sky Battle Intent, right away.

So even though Chu Xinghe refused the Sect Master, the Sect Master wasn't angry at all. Instead, he still treated him as a personal disciple, otherwise, he wouldn't have taught him the Grand Sky Battle Intent.

The Spirit Tomb gathering ended, and most disciples obtained Spirit Weapons, whether they were to their liking or not was another matter.

But the most unfortunate ones were not these ordinary disciples, but those who got insider information.

They came out with their high-level Spirit Weapons, ready to show off to their elders, only to be scolded!

What's there to be proud of! This junk is nothing! Look at your Senior Brother Xinghe, not only did he get the Grand Sky Sword Box, but he also received the Sect Master's personal teaching of the Grand Sky Battle Intent!

Comparing people can be deadly, comparing goods can lead to throwing them away.

Compared to Chu Xinghe, these disciples couldn't even be considered human, at most they were just goods!

When these so-called prodigies returned to their respective palaces, none escaped punishment.

Hearing this news, Chu Xinghe almost spat blood!

He dreams of being punished, but no matter how hard he tries, he never gets the chance. These guys do nothing and get punished, why can't such good things happen to him?

The news of Chu Xinghe being recognized by the Grand Sky Sword Box, refusing to become the Sect Master's personal disciple, and the Sect Master not only not being angry but also teaching him the Grand Sky Battle Intent spread throughout the Grand Sky Sect in no time.

From the elders to the outer disciples, everyone knew Chu Xinghe's name.

When Bighead Carp told Chu Cheng about this news, the guy spat out two taels of blood on the spot.

That day in the Spirit Crane Palace, Feng Fei personally brought Chu Xinghe the attire representing a personal disciple of the Great Elder. It was still black, but in addition to the original gold-trimmed edges, the disciple's attire now had more cloud patterns embroidered with gold thread.

"From today, I have to call you Senior Brother Xinghe." Feng Fei joked with a smile.

"Senior Brother Feng, it's one thing for the other brothers to tease me, but why are you doing it too?" Chu Xinghe pretended to be upset.

"Hahaha... alright, alright... Junior Brother Xinghe, is that better?"

After joking, Feng Fei continued with his work.

Chu Xinghe didn't disturb Feng Fei and instead walked out of the room towards the direction of the Grand Sky Palace.

These days, everyone started going to the Skill Tower to learn techniques, but he couldn't go. After all, he could only learn the Grand Sky Battle Intent from the Sect Master.

With the Grand Sky Token in hand, Chu Xinghe had no obstacles and soon found Sect Master Gu Mingchao in the Grand Sky Hall.

Seeing Chu Xinghe's arrival, Gu Mingchao waved at him with a smile.

"Xinghe, today I will teach you the Grand Sky Battle Intent, but before that, there are a few things I need to warn you about to prevent you from making mistakes in the future!"

Mistakes?

Hearing these words, Chu Xinghe immediately perked up, so was this his chance?
