“You, how did you come up with this?” The Primordial Lord of Heaven stared at Yu Lei in astonishment.
Yu Lei scratched his head: “Uh, your junior only thought of this on a whim…”
“What a good idea!”
The Primordial Lord of Heaven slapped his thigh.
Yu Lei was taken aback: “Do you think it's feasible?”
The Primordial Lord of Heaven praised: “Feasible! Of course it's feasible! Not only feasible, but it's the only feasible way. You little rascal, you've given me another surprise!”
The Intercepting Sect had long become too powerful for the Primordial Lord of Heaven.
He couldn't rectify the Intercepting Sect himself. Once he took drastic measures to rectify it, the sect's fortune might collapse even faster.
But now Yu Lei had established a branch sect, which could not only bring new life to the Intercepting Sect, but Yu Lei could also act on his behalf to rectify the entire Intercepting Sect!
It was simply a win-win situation!
At this moment, the Primordial Lord of Heaven looked at Yu Lei with increasing favor.
Yu Lei also smiled.
It seemed this matter was settled.
Helping the Primordial Lord of Heaven establish a branch sect was not an easy task, but the benefits were substantial.
First, this Primordial Lord of Heaven would inevitably become his strongest backing.
Second, the resource allocation was obvious.
As for the danger, what did the danger of the Intercepting Sect have to do with him, a branch sect?
Just as Yu Lei was feeling elated, he saw the Primordial Lord of Heaven smiling and speaking.
“However, I do have another idea.”
Yu Lei nodded: “Sage, please speak.”
The Primordial Lord of Heaven chuckled: “I still feel that it's too much of a loss to not take you as my disciple. Therefore, the branch sect must be established, and I must also take you as my disciple!”
Yu Lei was immediately taken aback and said helplessly: “If I become the sage's disciple, it's probably not good to split from the Intercepting Sect, right?”
The Primordial Lord of Heaven laughed: “Don't worry, I have a way.”
With a flash of light, a figure appeared beside the Primordial Lord of Heaven.
He looked exactly like the Primordial Lord of Heaven, but he exuded an overwhelming sword intent!
The Primordial Lord of Heaven smiled: “This is my beneficent aspect, named Sword Daoist. You shall take him as your master, what do you say?”
Upon hearing this, Yu Lei also couldn't help but widen his eyes.
“Can it be done like this?”
Upon reaching the Primordial Saint Stage, everyone would try to sever their three aspects, let alone a Primordial Lord of Heaven.
Their beneficent and malicious aspects were already, to some extent, independent of their main bodies.
Yu Lei taking the Primordial Lord of Heaven's beneficent aspect as his master wouldn't cause any problems. It would even prevent any concerns about ties to the Intercepting Sect!
It could only be said that not only Yu Lei was a master of ideas, but the Primordial Lord of Heaven was no slouch either!
Only the Sword Daoist said solemnly: “Why can't it be done this way? How about it, are you willing to take me as your master?”
At this point, how could Yu Lei not agree?
He immediately bowed:
“Disciple Yu Lei, greets his master!”
The Sword Daoist immediately smiled and nodded with approval.
................
Yu Lei taking the Primordial Lord of Heaven's beneficent aspect as his master had countless benefits.
First, the beneficent aspect was part of the Primordial Lord of Heaven, and his combat strength was also at the Primordial Saint level. Yu Lei essentially had a Primordial Saint backing him!
Second, since he was a disciple, there were naturally benefits.
The beneficent aspect of a Primordial Saint also had its own will, similar to the Tranquil Mother in the Underworld, Meng Po, etc. They were related to the Primordial Saint but were independent under them.
Indeed, after successfully taking Yu Lei as his disciple, the Sword Daoist's face showed a look of joy. He directly took out the four Zhuxian Swords!
“My dear disciple, you are establishing a branch sect, which will be extremely dangerous. How can you be without a treasure to protect you? Take these four Zhuxian Swords and use them!”
Yu Lei was completely stunned.
He knew that Primordial Saints were generous, but he hadn't expected him to be so generous!
“Master, absolutely not! How could this disciple be worthy of wielding these four swords?” Yu Lei sincerely didn't want them.
Were the four Zhuxian Swords powerful?
They were extremely powerful!
Each one was a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. When used together, they were even comparable to an Innate Supreme Treasure. If you had the Zhuxian Array Diagram, you could even set up the legendary first killing array in the Dao, the Zhuxian Sword Array!
But despite their power, they were too conspicuous.
If Yu Lei wielded them, it would mean everyone would know the relationship between him and the Primordial Lord of Heaven, as well as the Intercepting Sect.
After Yu Lei repeatedly declined, the Sword Daoist finally didn't force the four Zhuxian Swords onto Yu Lei. Instead, he took out two other treasures.
One was the famous Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearls, a total of twenty-four.
This was a very special treasure, a set within the Innate Spiritual Treasures.
Each Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearl existed independently, all lower-grade Innate Treasures.
But when twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearls were gathered, they became as one, with power comparable to a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!
Moreover, it was said that there were thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearls in the Primordial World, but the remaining twelve had never been found.
Such a treasure would have been given to Zhao Gongming by the Primordial Lord of Heaven.
But now Yu Lei got the benefit.
The other treasure was also extraordinary. It was an odd treasure called the Sword Dao Gourd, obtained by the Primordial Lord of Heaven from the Innate Gourd Vine.
The Sword Dao Gourd itself had no offensive abilities, but it could store the user's own sword intent. Storing once was equivalent to one time of the user's strongest attack. Each storage required one year to replenish.
Most importantly, it could store up to ten thousand times, which meant it could unleash an attack equivalent to ten thousand times the user's strength!
However, this odd treasure only worked for those below the Primordial Saint level. It was useless for those at the Primordial Saint level.
It was precisely for this reason that the Sword Daoist decided to bestow it upon Yu Lei.
In his opinion, this disciple's talent in swordsmanship was unprecedented and unparalleled, perfectly suited for this treasure.
Twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearls and the Sword Dao Gourd were the gifts the Sword Daoist presented to Yu Lei.
This time, Yu Lei didn't refuse anymore, but happily accepted them.
“Thank you, master, for the treasure!”
The Sword Dao Gourd was needless to say, perfect for Yu Lei.
As for the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearls, Yu Lei still thought it was too valuable.
But he thought that even if he didn't take it, the Primordial Lord of Heaven would give it to Zhao Gongming later, which would then benefit the Burning Lamp Daoist.
If that were the case, it would be better for him to benefit instead.
Having accepted the two treasures, Yu Lei looked at the Primordial Lord of Heaven with a serious expression: “Lord, how should I proceed with establishing the branch sect? Please give me instructions.”
Establishing a branch sect naturally required consultation with the Primordial Lord of Heaven.
The Primordial Lord of Heaven sighed: “The Great Calamity is still some time away. There is no rush. Moreover, your current cultivation is insufficient. To establish a branch sect, you must at least achieve the Da Luo Jinxian Realm.”
Yu Lei nodded repeatedly.
The Primordial Lord of Heaven was still very clear-headed and wasn't eager for quick results.
“Master, this disciple will definitely not let you and the Lord down. He will achieve the Da Luo Jinxian Realm as soon as possible!”
Yu Lei was full of confidence.
Come on, he had already cultivated to the Golden Immortal without guidance from a Primordial Saint.
With his natural talent, reaching the Da Luo Jinxian Realm was merely a matter of time.
