Chapter 16: The Ceremony of Ascension
The Ceremony of Ascension
The day of the ceremony of new disciples arrived, and the Bull Temple was alive with a vibrant energy. Denny C stood at the threshold of a new chapter, his heart a mix of anticipation and excitement. Grand Elder Han, his mentor and guide, stood beside him, his presence both reassuring and imposing.
As they approached the Bull Temple, Denny couldn't help but feel a sense of reverence for the traditions of the Bull Fight Sect. The temple was a grand structure, its walls adorned with ancient scriptures and carvings that told the story of generations of warriors.
Grand Elder Han leaned in to explain the significance of the ceremony. "Today, you shall not be an Outer Disciple, Denny. Due to your cultivation at the War Realm, you shall skip that stage and become an Inner Disciple directly. This is a privilege few are granted."
Denny's eyes widened with surprise and gratitude. "Thank you, Grand Elder Han. What does being an Inner Disciple entail?"
Grand Elder Han's voice held a note of pride. "Being an Inner Disciple grants you access to advanced techniques, resources, and the opportunity to train under masters at the Bull Fight Sect. You will command respect, and your voice will carry weight within the sect."
Denny absorbed this information with a sense of responsibility and determination. He was ready to embrace the path laid out before him.
The ceremony began with a solemn procession led by Sect Master Liu, followed by the elders, Inner Disciples, and other newly initiated Outer Disciples. Denny walked with Grand Elder Han, his heart steady despite the significance of the moment.
At the heart of the Bull Temple, a grand stage awaited. As Denny ascended the stage, he could feel the eyes of the sect upon him, their collective gaze measuring his worthiness.
Sect Master Liu addressed the assembly. "Today, we gather to welcome new disciples into our ranks, to honor their potential and their commitment to the Bull Fight Sect. Among them is one who has shown exceptional promise."
The Sect Master's gaze shifted to Denny, and there was a glimmer of approval in his eyes. "Denny C, step forward."
Denny stepped onto the center of the stage, his heart pounding with a mixture of excitement and reverence. Grand Elder Han stood at his side, his presence a source of strength.
Sect Master Liu continued, "Denny C, due to his extraordinary potential and already achieved cultivation at the War Realm, shall bypass the rank of Outer Disciple and be recognized as an Inner Disciple."
The assembled disciples and elders watched in awe as Denny's status was elevated in a single proclamation. It was a moment that marked his place among the chosen few.
Sect Master Liu extended a hand toward Grand Elder Han. "Grand Elder Han, would you do the honors?"
Grand Elder Han stepped forward, his expression solemn. "Denny C, today, you ascend to a new level within our sect. As your mentor, I shall guide you on this path of power, wisdom, and responsibility."
Denny bowed in acknowledgment, his voice resolute. "I accept, Grand Elder Han."
With a nod of approval, Grand Elder Han placed a hand on Denny's shoulder, signifying the acceptance of this new bond. The Bull Fight Sect had found its newest Inner Disciple, and the legacy of the sect would continue to thrive under the guidance of Grand Elder Han and the unwavering determination of Denny C.
