"Too noisy, ahhhh!"

Chen Xun was about to sleep in his thatched hut, but the heavy, solemn sound of the bells made him a bit irritable.

A quick look at tinyurl.com/2p9emv8w will leave you more fulfilled.

He jumped out of bed and quickly rushed out of the hut, glaring in the direction of the bell sound before running down the Servants' Peak.

Some disciples saw Chen Xun heading down the mountain but didn't think much of it, assuming he was going to sweep the grounds. After all, everyone knew that the path from the foot of the mountain to the mid-mountain was cleaned by Chen Xun.

Chen Xun sprinted all the way and soon arrived at the foot of Heaven Profound Peak.

"Stop! Who are you?"

Two guarding disciples blocked Chen Xun's path and shouted.

The two disciples glared at Chen Xun, already in a bad mood because they couldn't attend the Purple Robe Conferment Ceremony due to their duty.

Meanwhile, they noticed Chen Xun's attire and their hearts tightened, their eyes filled with suspicion.

This outfit wasn't from their Dao Heaven Sect?

What's going on?

Chen Xun crossed his arms, tilted his chin, and instead of his usual manic laughter, he wore a face full of displeasure, saying, "Hey, hey, hey, it's so noisy up the mountain! It's so loud I can't sleep, you know?"

The two disciples were stunned.

What?

One of them even scratched his ear, uncertain, "Did you just say it's noisy on Heaven Profound Peak?"

"Yes!" Chen Xun nodded solemnly.

"Uh, hahaha!" The two disciples exchanged a bewildered glance and couldn't help but burst into laughter, quickly covering their mouths.

Then, they scrutinized Chen Xun, their spiritual power slowly circulating, ready to apprehend this audacious person.

As if sensing their intent, Chen Xun shook his head and said, "Hey, hey, hey, you're not going to make a move on me, are you?"

The two disciples hesitated, then exchanged a glance and suddenly attacked!

But in the next moment, Chen Xun suddenly flashed behind them, delivering two quick and precise chops to their necks!

"Ugh..." The two disciples' eyes rolled back, and they fell forward.

Chen Xun looked at the two unconscious disciples on the ground, patted his chest with lingering fear, and said with a terrified expression, "Phew, good thing I know a bit of martial arts, almost got caught by you guys."

If the two unconscious disciples knew Chen Xun's current demeanor, they'd surely roar in anger, wondering who actually hit whom, and why he was the one acting scared.

After dealing with the two obstructive guards, Chen Xun hummed a tune and swaggered up Heaven Profound Peak, a mountain that even the servant disciples and stewards of Servants' Peak could never set foot on in their lifetime.

On the mountain path, Chen Xun hummed a little tune, as if he had come alive, flipping through the Wordless Tome as he walked, his eyes filled with fervor.

"Heh heh heh, I really am invincible, just a couple of chops and those two were down, what a great book!"

.........

Heaven Profound Peak, Martial Arena.

The arena was filled with people.

At the back of the arena stood over two thousand outer sect disciples of Dao Heaven Sect.

In front of the outer sect disciples stood the stewards and elders of the outer sect.

In the middle of the arena stood over five hundred inner sect disciples of Dao Heaven Sect.

In front of the inner sect disciples stood the stewards and elders of the inner sect, with Shen He among them.

On the left and right sides of the arena sat various sect forces invited to celebrate, observing the disciples, stewards, and elders of Dao Heaven Sect with a sense of awe.

In the eyes of these sect forces, Dao Heaven Sect was indeed a top sect in the Northern Profound, its overall strength ranking high.

With this in mind, the sect forces simultaneously looked at the figures at the front of the arena, their eyes flickering with envy and other indescribable emotions.

At the same time, the outer and inner sect disciples and elders also gazed intently at those few figures at the front of the arena, their eyes filled with reverence.

For they were the face of Dao Heaven Sect!

Fourteen exceptionally talented Purple-Robed Disciples and nine core elders!

The fourteen Purple-Robed Disciples stood quietly behind the nine core elders, receiving the attention and basking in the glory of the moment.

Of course, today's main character wasn't them, but the newly inducted junior brother, Zhao Ting.

However, Junior Brother Zhao Ting had yet to appear and would arrive later with the Sect Master.

At that moment, footsteps sounded, and Nangong Yao and Zhao Ting entered the arena one after the other.

Instantly, countless gazes focused on Zhao Ting, who followed behind Nangong Yao.

The disciples and elders of Dao Heaven Sect looked at Zhao Ting in amazement.

Is this the new Purple Robe?

Zhao Ting, bowing his head as he walked, had never seen such a scene before, and cold sweat instantly beaded on his forehead.

"Greetings, Sect Master!!"

The disciples, stewards, and elders immediately bowed and respectfully called out.

The sect forces, after observing Zhao Ting, also stood up, cupped their hands toward Nangong Yao, and offered compliments:

"Hehe, Sect Master Nangong, it's been ten years since we last met, and you look even more distinguished now!"

"Sect Master Nangong, your Dao Heaven Sect has gained another Heavenly Spirit Root disciple, truly enviable, indeed heaven favors Dao Heaven Sect."

"I've often heard that Dao Heaven Sect is a top sect in the Northern Profound Cultivation World, and seeing it now, it truly lives up to its reputation. My Earth Immortal Pavilion pales in comparison."

"......"

Nangong Yao walked to the front, smiled slightly, and cupped his hands toward the sect forces, saying, "You flatter my Dao Heaven Sect, it's an honor to have you all here for our Purple Robe Conferment Ceremony."

Although these sect forces weren't as strong as Dao Heaven Sect, together they formed a formidable power. As the host and Sect Master, Nangong Yao naturally wouldn't underestimate them.

"Not at all, Sect Master Nangong, witnessing the Purple Robe Conferment is a delightful event."

A leader of a force smiled and said.

Nangong Yao nodded slightly and gestured, "Please be seated."

Once the sect forces were seated, Nangong Yao glanced at Zhao Ting and then said calmly, "Zhao Ting, step forward."

Zhao Ting was startled and hurriedly stepped forward, kneeling on the prepared prayer mat.

Nangong Yao nodded and said, "Let the Purple Robe Conferment Ceremony begin."

With those words, the disciples around the arena began to beat the drums vigorously.

Boom boom boom boom boom.......

Amidst the overwhelming drumbeats.

Elder Liu Yunjian stepped out from the core elders and approached Zhao Ting, raising his hand gently.

Several disciples carried trays high above their heads, bowing as they entered and stood behind Liu Yunjian.

Liu Yunjian looked up, scanned the crowd, and announced loudly:

"Disciple Zhao Ting, with exceptional talent and a Heavenly Gold Spirit Root, is hereby conferred as the fifteenth Purple-Robed Disciple of Dao Heaven Sect by the Sect Master's decree! Today, we bear witness!"

Clap clap clap clap clap clap!

A wave of applause surged through the arena.

At this moment, Zhao Ting's mind was blank, his body tingling with a sensation he couldn't describe but thoroughly enjoyed.

"Zhao Ting, this is the Heavenly Purple Mystweave Robe, a magical treasure. You will discover its effects in due time."

Liu Yunjian took the purple robe from the tray held by a disciple and handed it to Zhao Ting.

Zhao Ting quickly accepted it, feeling its cool, smooth, and delicate texture, unable to put it down.

Liu Yunjian nodded and continued to take items from the tray, handing them to Zhao Ting.

"This is the Purple-Robed Disciple Identity Token, the Complete Dao Heaven Technique, and the Purple-Robed Disciple Sword."

Under the envious and longing gazes of many, Zhao Ting accepted these precious items with trembling hands, feeling valued and passionately declaring, "Disciple Zhao Ting, grateful for the sect's nurturing, will prioritize the sect's interests above all else. I live as a person of the sect and will die as a soul of the sect. As long as the sect does not abandon me, I, Zhao Ting, will be loyal unto death!"

Zhao Ting's heartfelt words made everyone present nod in agreement, secretly admiring him as a person of character who knows gratitude and repays kindness.

A person of character is usually one of two extremes, either extremely evil or extremely good, and it was clear Zhao Ting was the latter.

"Good!" Nangong Yao said with a smile, then added, "Now that the Purple Robe has been conferred, it's time for the apprenticeship ceremony."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yunjian bowed and looked at Fourth Elder Chu Ningshang among the core elders, saying, "Fourth Elder, it's your turn to accept a disciple."

Seeing this, the disciples were secretly shocked.

Wow, Zhao Ting is going to be the true disciple of the Fourth Elder!

The Fourth Elder is the Punishment Elder, and Zhao Ting, being a Purple-Robed Disciple with the Fourth Elder backing him, would truly have free rein in the sect!

The disciples were envious to the point of numbness.

At this moment, the drumbeats continued to echo.

Chu Ningshang smiled and nodded, stepping out from the core elders and approaching Zhao Ting.

But just as the apprenticeship ceremony was about to proceed.

A sudden voice rang out in the arena.

"So noisy, so noisy, ahhhh, can you let me sleep peacefully, ahhhh!!"

The overwhelming drumbeats abruptly stopped!

In an instant, countless smiles froze on faces!

The arena fell silent!

The faces of the outer and inner sect disciples and elders turned unsightly, not to mention Liu Yunjian and the other core elders, who also looked grim.

Today's conferment ceremony, with so many sect forces watching, and such an incident occurs...

Sure enough, the sect forces wore strange expressions...

Thus, everyone in the arena focused on the source of the voice, and when they saw the scholar in blue robes standing with hands on hips outside the arena, their eyes froze!

Who is this person?

Yet some people's expressions turned particularly interesting.

Like Shen He, and Xu Yang and other disciples who had brought Chen Xun back to the sect.

Zhao Ting, snapping out of his daze, felt as if the sky had fallen, his face instantly drained of all color!

"Chen, Brother Chen!"
