Chapter 949: Restrictions That Did Not Matter

Dong Qitian continued to explain in a matter-of-fact tone, “One’s true self usually hides feebleness, cowardice, and even compromising meekness. Such human flaws will definitely surface when one’s in the Art of Ultimate Heaven, presenting itself in the most extreme manner.”

“Due to this reason, my sect has used this approach to test its disciples. There has never been a mistake… For hundreds of thousands of years, the central forces of my school also possess the most outstanding cultivation base among their peers in the whole of Bound of Universe, without a doubt.”

“If it weren’t for a catastrophe that destroyed the sect’s building foundation and all the sects in Bound of Universe launching simultaneous attacks, taking advantage of our crisis, our sect would’ve already…”

Dong Qitian’s gaze was distant as he spoke quietly, “I was born late, fortunate enough that I never had to encounter that disaster… It was fortunate for me, but also one of my deepest regrets.”

“Since then, our disciples have scattered, our sect no longer glorious like it used to be. However, those who survived, each and every disciple are proud to be a member of the sect, determinedly so.”

Lan Ruojun mused and asked respectfully, “The sect senior mentioned something… was it the Ultimate Heaven Sect that overwhelmed the entire Bound of Universe and almost replaced the Eastern Celestial Court thirty thousand years ago?”

“Yes,” Dong Qitian answered faintly.

Bafflement was splayed across the eight men’s faces. Although they had guessed it before receiving the answer, the shock was no lesser when they actually heard it. Yun Yang was the only one without a similar reaction as he did not know the story behind the Ultimate Heaven Sect. He was still astounded – there was a sect that almost took the Eastern Celestial Court’s place?

How powerful was this sect?

“You’re all marvelously gifted. If you had entered the Ultimate Heaven Sect back then, you would’ve been ranked among the top ten internal disciples of the youngest generation based on this Art of Ultimate Heaven test!”

Dong Qitian continued softly. “The future is bright. Don’t ever look down on yourselves for no reason!”

A frown surfaced between Lan Ruojun’s brows as he asked, “Senior, you mean… we, the Demiurge-Flawed Ten, can make it to the top as well? We can also become like… you?”

Dong Qitian replied with a squint, “Any cultivator who’s qualified to be the Ultimate Heaven Sect’s top ten internal disciples is a notable presence, as long as they don’t die young or meet with misfortune in the future.”

“Even if the restriction within us exists?” Lan Ruojun pursued the question further.

“Restriction? Do you mean the Demiurge-Flawed and Heaven-Bereaved legacy that you all received?” asked Dong Qitian.

The eight men were startled upon hearing him, nodding in surprise. “Yes.”

To this day, Dong Qitian was the first one to see the abnormality in the Demiurge-Flawed Ten’s cultivation method and expose it. Naturally, Shi Wuchen and friends would love to know the truth.

“What I know is also limited. There are still many parts I don’t understand,” said Dong Qitian, “However, my sect’s Art of Ultimate Heaven targets one’s true self, with no margin of error. Perhaps, you’ll find your enlightenment when your cultivation base comes to a certain level. My only advice to you now is to go with the flow and keep up the hard work.”

Dong Qitian’s advice sounded like a shot of ecstasy to Lan Ruojun and friends. As they perked up, they asked even more respectfully, “May we know your name, senior?”

“This is the Residence of Nine Supremes’ chief instructor,” said Yun Yang, “Dong Qitian!”

“Heaven-Equaling Supreme Saint!” exclaimed the group.

Yun Yang rubbed his nose. The title was a brilliant one, sufficiently grandiose to shock Little Fatty and these fellows… He thought that he was going to be shocked too when he heard it.

Compared to Yun Yang’s oblivion, the astonishment in the eight men’s expression was massive.

Dong Qitian, an unparalleled figure who had vanished for thousands of years, had greeted the world once again and had unexpectedly become the relatively new and unknown Residence of Nine Supremes’ chief trainer!

This was like a dream come true to the Demiurge-Flawed Ten.

No matter how capable and full of potential the Residence of Nine Supremes was, it could not change the fact that it was a new unknown sect without a Celestial Luck Banner. If there was a second choice, no cultivator who was at the Saint-level and above would opt for such a school!

The Celestial Amethyst could better the spiritual Qi insufficiency for the cultivators, but it was not a long term plan. In addition, it was only a matter of time before ill-intentioned ones began to covet the superior materials in the sect.

The simultaneous addition of eight of the Demiurge-Flawed Ten to the Residence of Nine Supremes had basically solved the fault of general capability deficiency, but the sect lacked the most fundamental defensive combat force. For example, other than Cangwu Union’s leader who had reached the fourth level pinnacle in Saint-level, there was only another elder whose cultivation base was even higher whom the members depended upon as their hidden ace.

Now, Dong Qitian, who had been dramatically unveiled, was the Residence of Nine Supremes’ chief instructor! The surprise was overwhelming. The delight that flooded the men was uncontrollable.

Among them, Shi Wuchen’s elation bubbled as he cheered himself for his good sense. Yun Yang himself was exceptionally talented, his natural disposition above the rest, in addition to his continuously lavish methods that were baffling. From presenting the Celestial Amethyst as their meeting gift, becoming the Black and White Ruthless Duo and robbing everyone, collaborating with the General Commerce League and entering the Spirit’s Grave, to recruiting the legendary Dong Qitian as the chief trainer, which one among these mentioned was not a jolt to one’s heart?

His past decision, or lack thereof, resulted in having Yun Yang as his superior, the main Supreme of Residence of Nine Supremes. How could Shi Wuchen, the second Supreme, not share the glory?

Sharing mirroring emotions were Lan Ruojun and Ren Qingkuang, who understood the Residence of Nine Supremes’ current composition a little more than the rest of their Demiurge-Flawed friends. While they were thoroughly impressed by Yun Yang, they had never recognized Shi Wuchen’s status as the second Supreme. They were insistent upon subduing Shi Wuchen in the upcoming sect contest and take the second Supreme’s place permanently!

The place should belong to those who were capable – those who were not should not occupy it!

The rest of the Demiurge-Flawed Ten who were here felt a pouring sense of belonging as well, no longer doubtful, although they had just arrived at the Residence of Nine Supremes and had yet to officially join the school.

Dong Qitian’s piercing gaze scanned the nine people in front of him, suddenly feeling a mirthful sense of acceptance, that it did not seem as atrocious as it was earlier to become the chief instructor to these nine men…

He was filled with anticipation, looking forward to the lights and sparks these prodigious nine men could bring in the future if what they could offer could shine light upon the Bound of Universe.

“Alright. We’ll talk about the rest some other time. I’m giving you a night of rest.”

Dong Qitian turned to leave.

“You’ll officially start cultivating tomorrow. Don’t assume that your formal training will be as easy as before.”

Before his words echoed, he was gone.

Yun Yang and group had experienced a hard time during this half a month, but Dong Qitian was also tremendously worn out, especially with regards to his mental state. That was because he had to look after all of them alone and be prepared at all times.

The Art of Ultimate Heaven seemed simple, but it was incredibly delicate. If the executer were the least bit careless and failed to save the overexerted person in training in time, death was almost guaranteed!

The source of this art was quite peculiar. It came from a time when the Ultimate Heaven Sect’s founding ancestor first roamed the martial world and was tricked into severe injuries by his enemy, falling into a dark impasse where his five senses and divine sense were rendered useless. When he survived by pure luck after several days, his state of mind was elevated to a higher level due to this encounter.
