"Th... The Ancient Matriarch of Heavenly Demon?!"
Lv Luo was struck as if by lightning, staring in shock at the seemingly young girl before her.
The Ancient Matriarch of Heavenly Demon, the foremost expert of Zhao Kingdom, elusive as a dragon, seen only by the sect master of the entire Heavenly Demon Sect!
She never imagined that the matriarch would be this innocent-looking young girl!
Ye Bufan's eye twitched.
Then he cupped his hands and bowed, "I have long heard of the Elemental Infant prowess of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and have admired it for a long time. To become a disciple is a blessing of three lifetimes."
"Disciple Ye Bufan, greets Master!"
He was straightforward, without asking any questions.
In front of a Elemental Infant powerhouse.
One should be humble when necessary.
If he acted like the brainless protagonists in novels, stubbornly declaring "thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river."
He'd likely be "cremated and ascended" on the spot within three seconds.
"Giggle, interesting, truly interesting."
The girl in the white dress was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter, bending forward and backward, her chest heaving, which was quite eye-catching.
A phrase popped into Ye Bufan's mind—childlike face, mature body.
"Since you've taken me as your master, I won't treat you poorly. This is a pseudo-magical treasure—the Immortal Binding Rope. Anyone below the Golden Core cannot escape once bound."
The girl in the white dress tossed a blue rope to Ye Bufan.
Startled, he hurriedly caught it, "Thank you, Master!"
To receive such a treasure upon first meeting, one must admit this master was truly wealthy.
"Don't be too happy... now squat down."
The girl in the white dress walked up to Ye Bufan, looked up at him, seemingly feeling offended, and with a stern little face, she spoke.
Seeing Ye Bufan squat down to her level, she was satisfied.
Then, mimicking an adult, she lifted Ye Bufan's chin with her small hand, "Break through to the Golden Core within thirty years. You're my only disciple, don't disgrace me."
"Golden Core within thirty years?"
Lv Luo was taken aback, her mouth agape.
Even for someone with a Supreme Spiritual Root like Chu Zixue or Shangguan Qingyao, breaking through to the Golden Core was extremely difficult.
The Heavenly Demon Sect has thousands at Foundation Establishment, but only a few dozen at Golden Core, illustrating its difficulty.
Most people can only stop at Foundation Establishment in their lifetime.
Though Ye Bufan is a Supreme Foundation Establishment, his spiritual root is too poor, breaking through to Golden Core in a hundred years would be remarkable, thirty years is nearly impossible.
"Yes!"
Ye Bufan agreed without hesitation.
He didn't know the matriarch's purpose in taking him as a disciple, so it was best to go along for now.
Besides.
He suspected this Elemental Infant powerhouse had already seen through him not being a Supreme Foundation Establishment.
What if it were a Heavenly Dao Foundation!
"Then let's go, you'll continue cultivating at Demon Sword Peak, as for resources, you'll have to fight for them yourself."
"The Heavenly Demon Sect follows the law of the jungle, if you die at the hands of your peers, I won't intervene."
The girl in the white dress tossed a token to Ye Bufan, then with her hands behind her back, walked towards the direction of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
"As for cultivation methods, go find them in the Scripture Repository yourself."
With those words, she vanished in the blink of an eye, as if teleporting.
"It seems I can't leave the Heavenly Demon Sect for now, what is the matriarch's purpose in taking me as a disciple?"
Ye Bufan looked at the silver token, rubbing his temples.
The token was ancient, engraved with the character "Demon."
Typically, Heavenly Demon Sect disciple tokens are either blue or black.
Silver, reserved only for the matriarch's disciples!
"Congratulations, Master, on becoming the matriarch's first disciple!"
Lv Luo said happily.
The Ancient Matriarch of Heavenly Demon has dominated Zhao Kingdom for eight hundred years, never taking a disciple, the prestige is immense, one could say Ye Bufan is now the most esteemed young master of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
In status, only the Saint and Saintess could compare.
He even surpassed Chu Zixue and Shangguan Qingyao.
And as his servant, her status naturally rose as well.
"Didn't you hear? She won't care if I live or die."
Ye Bufan shook his head, without any pride or joy of having ascended to the top.
Being the matriarch's disciple comes with benefits far beyond ordinary disciples, but also great risks.
Under the spotlight, a stepping stone for the proud sons of heaven, the prime target for righteous extermination.
Nothing could bring more fame than stepping on the head of the matriarch's disciple.
"Forget it, since I can't leave, I'll develop steadily within the Heavenly Demon Sect."
Ye Bufan consoled himself.
Then he turned and walked towards the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Along the way, he constantly planned his future path.
"Though the identity is a bit conspicuous, it shouldn't be a big problem."
With the advantage of the Creature Creation Technique, Ye Bufan could create several identities.
Going out as Zhang San.
Killing as Li Si.
Plundering resources as Wang Wu.
Even if something happened.
What does it have to do with Ye Bufan?
Having figured it out, he felt much better, his steps lighter.
...
On the other side.
Chu Zixue and Shangguan Qingyao's faces were frosty, their brows faintly anxious.
In front of them, the mountains stretching for dozens of miles seemed to have been plowed, riddled with holes.
The towering forests were chopped to pieces.
"Sister, it's been two hours, and we haven't found any trace of Ye Bufan."
A group of Foundation Establishment disciples returned trembling, not daring to get too close to these two female killing gods, ing from a distance.
During the search, they roughly figured out the cause of the incident.
They were greatly shocked that the first beauty of the Heavenly Demon Sect had taken a centenarian as a furnace cauldron.
The goddess filter shattered instantly.
More shocking was that the old man was actually a Supreme Foundation Establishment closely watched by the Six Great Peaks!
"Keep searching! I don't believe they can escape right under my nose!"
Shangguan Qingyao said coldly.
Her voice was filled with unwillingness.
Chu Zixue's face was even colder, clearly not intending to give up.
"Sister, they probably used some extraordinary means to escape, continuing the search is meaningless."
A disciple at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment said with a stiff upper lip.
"I said, keep searching!"
Shangguan Qingyao released a pressure, making the disciple tremble all over, cold sweat pouring.
The other disciples dared not speak further, scattering again to intensify the search.
Just then, several figures flew in on magical treasures.
Their expressions were uncertain, clearly aware of the situation.
Leading them was an elder with white hair, deep eyes, and an imposing presence like an abyss.
It was the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Shangguan Su.
Beside him was the Peak Master of Demon Sword Peak, Sword Master of Demonic Path.
And the peak masters of the other five peaks.
The arrival of these absolute high-level figures instantly quieted the area.
"Zixue, that Supreme Foundation Establishment, was it really the furnace cauldron you captured?"
Sword Master of Demonic Path asked with furrowed brows.
When he first heard the disciple's , he couldn't believe his ears.
Having lived for hundreds of years, he had never heard of anyone with a Lower Grade Spiritual Root achieving a Supreme Foundation Establishment.
"Father."
Chu Zixue hurried forward, her voice charming and pleasant, "The jade pendant you gave me emitted light, it should be him, and he was the only one who established a foundation at Demon Sword Peak in the past two days."
Thinking of this, she felt a bit regretful.
She should have exited seclusion earlier.
Now that the high-levels were interested, even if found, she couldn't use him as a furnace cauldron.
"Truly strange, throughout history, those who achieved Supreme Foundation Establishment were all Upper Grade or Supreme Spiritual Roots, how could a Lower Grade Yang Root achieve this?"
The Blood Peak Master in his blood-red robe frowned.
Whether it's Foundation Establishment or Core Formation, the cultivation method and resources play a significant role.
But to achieve high quality, aptitude and opportunity are paramount.
"Such a person, I really want to meet."
The Saint-Demonic Peak Master stroked his mustache, his eyes flashing with interest in the furnace cauldron.
"That furnace cauldron practiced the Blood Spirit Technique."
Sword Master of Demonic Path suddenly said.
This made the peak masters pause.
"Practicing such a life-shortening technique, even if he doesn't die, he'd be skinned alive, do you think the Supreme Foundation Establishment is related to this technique?"
Blood Peak Master twitched his eyelid, speaking.
The main cultivation method of Blood Peak is the "Heavenly Demon Blood God Technique," with deep understanding of Blood Path techniques.
The Blood Spirit Technique is highly taboo among his disciples.
Avoided like the plague.
"The Blood Spirit Technique originates from ancient times, the exact creator is unknown, perhaps there are things we don't know within it."
The Grand Elder, who had been silent, spoke deeply.
In the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Grand Elder's strength is second only to the sect master, and with his words, even the previously certain Blood Peak Master began to waver.
Could it really be related to the Blood Spirit Technique?
"Regardless, let's find that furnace cauldron first, I'm quite interested in his blood now!"
The Blood Peak Master chuckled eerily.
He released his spiritual perception, covering a hundred-mile radius, beginning a meticulous search.
That furnace cauldron might evade the Foundation Establishment's probe.
But it couldn't escape the spiritual perception probe of a Golden Core at Great Perfection.
"Hmm?"
