Lu Xun’s words made the surroundings temporarily speechless. Everyone was startled for a few seconds and no one spoke.

Sir’s disciple?

What was going on in this man’s brain? He actually wanted to become Sir’s disciple?

Despite having already looked beautiful enough, his ideas were also ridiculous!

After Cat Southnorth heard this, she first thought that it was a bit absurd, however, she couldn’t help but take another glance at Lu Xun. She actually felt… a little admirable?

‘Extremely fitting of the mount I picked, he has both spirit and ambition!’ The lolita started to haughtily think again.

There were slight voices of discussion within the surrounding disciples as they watched the show. However, because Cat Southnorth disliked the noise, she instinctively raised her eyebrows slightly.

If this were the outside world, she probably would’ve already been long furious, “Do you dare to make any more noise? Go on! Make more noises and this old lady will cut your heads off!”

However, since everyone here was her junior. She had the burden of being an idol and wanted to maintain her image as a senior, although she always manages to end up at square one…

Elder Autumn Water saw Cat Southnorth raise her eyebrows, just this action alone made her guess that the latter was discontent. She couldn’t help but say harshly, “Shush!”

The disciples immediately shut their mouths obediently, but their gazes were still on Lu Xun.

In all actuality, even Elder Autumn Water was very curious, this was because a person like this hadn’t appeared for a long time.

She knew that Sir was accepting disciples. It was also because he had never once said to the outside that Cat Southnorth would be his last disciple.

Since she wasn’t the last disciple, this obviously meant he was still willing to accept more disciples.

Sir really liked to lecture other people. This wasn’t a secret anyways, but the criteria for his acceptance of a disciple was somewhat whimsical.

He was a person who was particular about fate and had strange inclinations because of it. The conditions he had set to accept a disciple were different every time, and once he found a disciple that suited the conditions, he’d change the next conditions for his next acceptance for a disciple.

It was just like the previous conditions of accepting a disciple:

“I like cats and I want to take a cat demon as a disciple.”

1Having said this, he then went down the mountains and wandered for a few years, when he came back, Cat Southnorth was lying on his shoulders.

Just like that, a cat demon without rhyme or reason became one of the Demon Sect’s highest in seniority.

Even when the sect master wanted to see her, he would have to call her Little Aunt-Master.

Sir’s actions were always that random, even to the point that it was a little careless.

No one knew what he was thinking now, and no one would ever know what he would be thinking next. Anyways, there were all sorts of ideas and thoughts regarding him.

He had his own standard. It wasn’t that if you were a prodigy of a generation, or one with superb talent, or maybe even someone hard to come by once in a hundred years, that would make Sir pick you.

After all, he was one of the most legendary people in the lands of Heavenly Earth to begin with. Even if it was a kick-ass genius like you, Sir had already probably beaten quite a few of them in his endless years.

As for Sir’s newly set criteria for accepting disciples, it might be a little bit ridiculous to even speak of, or perhaps, it was flatly an impossible mission to complete.

Therefore, when Lu Xun asked those words, Cat Southnorth was instinctively taken aback.

After pondering, she looked at Lu Xun and said, “Do you really want to know?”

“Yes.” Lu Xun nodded.

In reality, he already knew what the criteria for accepting disciples was for this time. He remembered in his previous life that after the lucky guy completed some hidden missions, he managed to go to the Demon Sect and then found out about this criteria by chance. After achieving the requirements, the lucky man was accepted as one of Sir’s disciples.

There were even posts on the forum about the entire process. Back then, Lu Xun looked through the entire forums, hell, he remembered that he even left a message along with the massive stream of posts, ‘Jealousy makes me look detestable, and jealousy makes me look repulsive.’

The reason why he asked once more was only for proper confirmation in this matter.

After all, this ‘Heavenly Earth’ wasn’t even in open beta yet. He basically transmigrated to three years prior, who the hell knew if the criteria was still the same or not?

If the criteria were the same, he would really have to use one of his three revival counts.

Cat Southnorth sat on Mu Rongyan’s shoulders silently as she looked at Lu Xun straight in the eye.

A mountain breeze blew past, blowing up her hair.

Her cat ears moved slightly along with the wind, after considering it momentarily, she spoke up, “The first condition, you must be an ordinary man without cultivation.”

“You’ve reached this standard.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xun sighed in relief. He didn’t officially cultivate the ‘Qi Devouring Formula’ precisely because of this condition.

“Are there more conditions?” He didn’t hesitate to ask.

“The second condition, one’s age must be less than 30 years old.” Cat Southnorth continued.

Although Lu Xun transmigrated to a character in the game, thankfully, when he created the character, the appearance and age he chose was specifically 18 years old, this is why he also fulfilled this condition.

However, he didn’t know why there was such a condition that was made, one that actually cared about age.

Many people thought that cultivation was like training martial arts, one would need to start as a young child, or else, it would be extremely hard for any accomplishments to be made in one’s lifetime. These words were a bit absurd in reality.

Even in some folk legends of China, there were many elderly people who achieved Dao and became immortal.

“Are there any other conditions?” Lu Xun continued to ask.

The lolita said gravely, “Yes.”

She walked to the edge of the cliff nearby, looked at the bottom, and said, “You must jump off, fall to the ground, and not die.”

The rubberneck disciples in the surroundings couldn’t help but gasp in astonishment.

Ji Li even instinctively grabbed the hem of Lu Xun’s clothes out of anxiousness.

For an ordinary man to jump off the Greeting Peak, how could they not die?

The mountain peak reached through the clouds, even if they were cultivators, the majority of them would also splatter like a meat patty if they fell down with their physical bodies!

There would surely be a ‘pia…’ sound before an explosion of blood erupts.

As mentioned previously, Greeting Peak’s form was quite peculiar. The peak was especially isolated and looked very straight. It was entirely without any vegetation and the peak was sliced flat, this made it look extremely like a sword sheath.

A plot-armor where one would hang on a tree after falling off a cliff obviously couldn’t happen. After all, the mountain peak was bald.

What was meant to be conveyed to the people was that it wasn’t only bald on top, it was actually bald all over.

After Sir set these rules, he even distastefully had the sect master dispatch people to ‘adorn’ Greeting Peak by cutting off all areas that were slightly protruded, this had made it look even more straight. The wish to fall on any rock on the way down would be impossible!

Yes, wherever it was protruding, it was ordered to be cut!

Too terrifying!

Moreover, the third condition was very detailed and clear:

…Jump off. Fall to the ground. Don’t die.

One must fall to the ground!

This was completely impossible, right?

No matter who looked at it, this wasn’t a matter of luck anymore. It was absolutely impossible.

After the lolita finished explaining, she signaled Mu Rongyan to walk closer to Lu Xun. She was still sitting on Mu Rongyan’s shoulders as she leaned next to Lu Xun’s ear, she then whispered:

“Don’t seek death and be this lord’s mount obediently. Even if you’re only a mount, your seniority will be the same as Autumn Water’s.”

The corner of Elder Autumn Water’s lips twitched a little. With her current cultivation, she obviously heard everything loud and clear!

However, Lu Xun simply asked, “Only these?”

“What do you mean?” Cat Southnorth questioned him.

“Sir’s conditions for accepting a disciple.”

“Yes, only these.”

After she said this, she saw Lu Xun nod at her. Next, he quickly turned around and sprinted for the cliff.

Everyone was shocked and despite being unable to react in time, some people tried to stop him, however, an invisible power pressed on their bodies, this made them unable to move.

Everyone stared blankly as this super handsome man jumped off the cliff without the slightest hesitation!

…This was a leap that shook the heavens!

4Before jumping down, he even had a confident face on due to the easy takeoff.
