Life is like a seesaw. When one side sinks, the other side can always be lifted up!
In reality, Yan Liqiang is already preparing for the dangerous blind competition that will take place in Imperial Capital City in a few days. If nothing unexpected happens, this competition will become a turning point for Yan Liqiang in Imperial Capital City. However, in the Heavenly Dao Divine Realm, Yan Liqiang has his first highlight moment in the Sword Body Sect.
On December 8th of the seventeenth year of Yuanping, in the Ancestral Hall of Tiankui Peak of the Sword God Sect, the ceremony of accepting Luqiu Mingyue as a disciple was held at the hour of Chen in the morning.
Chenshi is the Dragon Hour. Almost all sects’ disciple-recruiting ceremonies are held at this hour, which contain good wishes and meanings.
Luqiu Mingyue hasn't accepted a disciple for a long time. The last time he accepted a disciple was twelve years ago. That disciple was one of the three heroes of the younger generation of the Sword God Sect, Tianying Sword Qi Zizheng. The last time Luqiu Mingyue accepted a disciple was fifteen years ago. That time, the disciple he accepted was the number one young disciple of the Sword God Sect, Lian Wushuang.
After twelve years, the leader of the Sword God Sect accepted another disciple, and the one he accepted was an outer disciple named Yan Liqiang. When this news came out, the entire Sword God Sect was in an uproar, and everyone wanted to know who the unknown Yan Liqiang was, and how he could be favored by the leader and accepted as a disciple, and rise to prominence in an instant...
So within the past two days, all of Yan Liqiang's past deeds were dug up in the Sword God Sect and suddenly became widely known...
In the eyes of most of the Sword God Sect's disciples, Yan Liqiang is simply a mythical inspirational story.
An outer disciple who was assigned to clean toilets after entering the sect was able to shine and change his destiny step by step in the dirtiest, most tiring and most menial job with his spirit and energy to clean the toilets impeccably. This kind of inspirational story and chicken soup can drive the young disciples of the Sword God Sect who have not yet made their mark crazy and make them regard Yan Liqiang as an idol.
Since an outer disciple who cleans toilets can make a name for himself in the Sword God Sect, there is no reason why I can't do it. The only reason why I can't do it is that I'm not good enough and haven't done my best. That's why I haven't been discovered by the elders and hall masters...
This realization inspired many ordinary disciples in the Sword God Sect.
As soon as the Chen hour arrived, the Ancestral Hall on Tiankui Peak was already packed with people.
At this moment, all the elite disciples in the Sword God Sect, including direct disciples of all ranks, core disciples, elders, as well as the heads of each academy and hall, managers and general managers at all levels, have arrived one after another. There are thousands of people in total, filling the huge ancestral hall.
Many people who had never seen Yan Liqiang before were now full of curiosity and wanted to see what kind of person Yan Liqiang was.
…
In accordance with the requirements of the disciple-taking ceremony, Yan Liqiang hardly slept the entire night. Instead, after burning incense, bathing and fasting, he sat in meditation in a simple and elegant small attic in the ancestral hall for the entire night.
That night, there was heavy snow in Laizhou. Yan Liqiang sat in the attic, looking at the snowflakes flying outside the window. His mind was wandering, thinking about many things.
Yan Liqiang had never had such an experience before. In that small attic, Yan Liqiang carefully recalled the days since he regained consciousness. It seemed that no day had been so easy. Crisis and training had almost never stopped. So he was spurring himself on every day, gritting his teeth, constantly adding pressure to himself, running forward every day, running forward, not relaxing for a moment...
After sitting there doing nothing, killing time and staring at the heavy snow outside the window for a whole night, Yan Liqiang found that he suddenly felt relaxed. Although it can't be said to be an epiphany, he figured out many things that he hadn't figured out before, and he felt as if everything had become clear.
Life is short, and plants and trees wither with autumn. No matter what the future holds for the Han Empire, I have been here, lived, and fought. As long as I have no regrets and have lived up to my conscience, that is enough. My life, up to now, has actually been much more wonderful than my previous life. There is nothing to regret...
The sky outside the window gradually brightened, and three gentle knocks were heard outside Yan Liqiang's attic door.
"Come in..." Yan Liqiang said softly.
The door of the attic was pushed open, and two disciples in their 20s wearing black robes who were serving in the Tiankui Peak Patriarch Hall walked in. In their hands were two trays, on which were placed a brand new set of attire.
"Brother, please change into this set of clothes. In another quarter of an hour, when you hear the sound of the chimes, you will arrive at the main hall of the Patriarch's Temple..." one of the disciples on duty spoke respectfully.
If it was two days ago, Yan Liqiang, an outer disciple, would have taken the initiative to call the other party "senior brother" when he saw the two inner disciples' servants. But in the blink of an eye, when the inner disciples saw Yan Liqiang, they would call Yan Liqiang "senior brother" in turn. The status of both parties was suddenly reversed.
"Okay, thank you, junior brother!" Yan Liqiang nodded to the two disciples on duty.
The two disciples on duty in the Patriarch's Hall glanced at Yan Liqiang's flawless face, each showing a hint of amazement, but did not speak. They placed the tray in their hands on the coffee table in front of Yan Liqiang and left, closing the door behind them.
On the tray was a full set of purple satin robes and a light blue belt. In addition, long boots and a crown were all available. This was the standard attire for the elite disciples of the Sword God Sect.
Yan Liqiang looked at the things on the tray, stood up, and put on everything in the room in less than a quarter of an hour.
Looking at himself in the bronze mirror in the room, Yan Liqiang felt like he couldn't recognize himself for a moment...
As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and gold makes the Buddha. Yan Liqiang, wearing a gorgeous purple robe, has red lips, white teeth, sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, and a silver crown on his head. He looks handsome and elegant. His invincible appearance, coupled with Yan Liqiang's unique heroism and profound temperament, instantly kills all the young and handsome stars in Yan Liqiang's previous life.
Not long after he put on this outfit, a clear chime sounded in Yan Liqiang's ears. Hearing the sound, Yan Liqiang opened the door and walked out of the attic.
The two disciples on duty were standing outside the door. When they saw Yan Liqiang coming out, they took Yan Liqiang and walked straight towards the Patriarch's Hall.
Someone had already told Yan Liqiang about all the etiquette and rituals for today yesterday, so Yan Liqiang was not unfamiliar with them at all.
The square outside the Patriarch's Hall had been cleaned up. As soon as Yan Liqiang arrived at the entrance of the Patriarch's Hall, the resounding voice of Elder Guo, who was presiding over the ceremony, came from the Hall, "Yan Liqiang, a disciple of the Sword God Sect, enter the hall..."
Hearing this voice, Yan Liqiang stepped over the high threshold of the palace gate alone, and then walked into the hall calmly.
In an instant, countless eyes in the hall fell on Yan Liqiang's face.
Then, Yan Liqiang heard a sound of someone sucking in a breath of cold air from between teeth coming from the hall which had been silent just now.
There was no other way. Yan Liqiang at this moment shocked everyone. He was so handsome. To say he was dazzling was not an exaggeration. At this moment, Yan Liqiang's body and face seemed to be shining. Anyone who saw him would feel their eyes light up instantly...
Not only the disciples and hall managers who were seeing him for the first time, but even the elders who had seen Yan Liqiang before, as well as Hall Master Su and others, couldn't help but have their eyes flashing with excitement when they saw Yan Liqiang at this time, and cheered in their hearts - he is worthy of being the disciple chosen by the sect master, this disciple's temperament and image are simply like a human being, there is nothing to fault.
As for the many young female disciples of the Sword God Sect in the hall, the moment they saw Yan Liqiang, many of them blushed instantly, and their gazes were like they were glued to Yan Liqiang and couldn't be moved away. At this time, Yan Liqiang was simply a walking human aphrodisiac.
Yan Liqiang had just walked a dozen steps into the hall when a slight exclamation suddenly came from the crowd beside him. A beautiful female disciple, about 18 or 19 years old, held her chest with her hands, her face flushed, and stared at Yan Liqiang blankly. Because she was too excited, she unconsciously held her breath and fainted on the ground, causing a small commotion...
