Chapter 16: Peak Entry Ceremony, Worshiping Master Teacher

The next day.

　　Li Guanqi had gotten up and cleaned up as early as dawn.

　　After hitting the fist stump dozens of times in the backyard, his body was covered in sweat from the surge of qi and blood.

　　Looking at the color of the sky, only then did he put down the sword box behind him and boiled water in preparation for a bath.

　　As for why this sword box became a sword coffin in his grandfather's mouth, he didn't know.

　　At the same time.

　　Tian Lei Peak's main hall was bustling with activity at this time, almost all the disciples who stayed in the peak came.

　　In the past three years, Li Guanqi was the only new disciple that Heavenly Thunder Peak had taken in.

　　Not to mention a demonic generation with a legendary Saint Spiritual Root!

　　In a separate courtyard at the back of Heavenly Thunder Peak.

　　A little girl in a flowery jacket had just painstakingly hung up all her clothes.

　　Squatting in the doorway, she pulled out a bun from her arms and nibbled on it.

　　A mouthful of small half of the bun went into the mouth, the bun's skin is thin and stuffed with a large aroma.

　　Only ate a mouthful, the small girl's mouth is a circle of oil flowers.

　　"Grandpa Li, aren't you going to the new disciple peak entry ceremony today?"

　　A drunken voice came from the room.

　　"Not going."

　　The little girl nodded as if this answer was not unexpected.

　　To herself, she said, "What's the point of choosing the Thunder System for a Saint Spiritual Root..."

　　"Or a blind man."

　　A slow purring sound came from inside, and the little girl got up and ran towards the direction of the main hall in a windy manner.

　　Both hands were raised like a running goose spreading its wings.

　　"Kuanqi! This is here."

　　Gu Ran's voice came, and Li Guanqi carried his sword case and walked quickly in the direction of the grand hall.

　　A square that was a hundred feet in size had long since had many people standing on it.

　　Not only were they all the disciples of Heavenly Thunder Peak, even Patriarch Lu Kangnian had personally come, as well as the elders of the various peaks.

　　They all wanted to see who this demonically gifted brat would worship.

　　While the Heavenly Thunder Peak Elders were the only one here at this time, Xu Zhengjie.

　　Tian Lei Peak had one Peak Master and two Elders.

　　The disciples under the door totaled thirty-seven.

　　Peak master Lei Yingze, Jindan great circle, is in seclusion to impact the YuanYing realm.

　　The eldest elder, however, has not shown up, only the second elder Xu Zhengjie has been handling all the matters in the peak.

　　Lu Kangnian frowned when he saw that Li Guanqi was already here, while the position of Elder was only occupied by Xu Zhengjie.

　　"Hmph, is Li Nanting not even coming on a day like today?"

　　When the Patriarch said such words, no one dared to say anything, but the others couldn't.

　　This was because the Heavenly Thunder Peak Grand Elder, Li Nanting, was considered to be a figure with a very special status amongst the Great Summer Sword Sect.

　　No one from any of the peaks dared to smile and laugh in front of Li Nanting.

　　It was because he was once the Great Summer Sword Sect's Si Xing Palm Law!

　　Buzz!

　　A figure wearing a white robe suddenly flashed into existence beside Lu Kangnian.

　　The figure was as straight as a sword, and although he was an old man, he didn't show any signs of old age.

　　Between the clear-cut corners of his features, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle!

　　Looking at the figure that appeared, Lu Kangnian laughed softly, "I thought you wouldn't come."

　　The old man laughed softly, "Heavenly Thunder Peak hasn't been this lively for three years, so I had to come over to take a look anyways."

　　Lu Kangnian nodded and suddenly said, "Where is Little Bun?"

　　"Mumble."

　　Li Nanting pointed to the roof of the main hall, a little girl with a flower jacket nibbling on a carrot was lying on the roof and poking out a head.

　　Lu Kangnian reached out his hand and the little girl flew up and was held in his arms.

　　Lu Kangnian, who had scruff on his face, kept rubbing against the little girl's fluffy little face.

　　Making her frown, she directly shoved the carrot in her hand into Lu Kangnian's mouth.

　　Lu Kangnian laughed and let her ride his neck.

　　"Since everyone has arrived, disciple Li Guanqi's Peak Entry Ceremony officially begins!"

　　"Sound the drums! Honor the incense! Invite the ancestral statue!"

　　Dang! Knock knock!

　　Hundreds of disciples struggled to beat the rhythmic war drums.

　　A bronze cauldron the size of ten feet landed in the center with a bang.

　　One by one, a stone statue that was more than ten feet tall fell with a bang!

　　There were more than thirty stone statues, and the image of each statue was delicately carved. www.wxbj.org

　　These, were the successive generations of Patriarchs of the Great Summer Sword Sect.

　　Lu Kangnian's voice resounded throughout the entire sect.

　　"The Great Summer Sword Sect was founded and has been passed down for thirteen thousand two hundred and ninety-eight years!"

　　"The Patriarch has inherited thirty-eight generations."

　　"There is one person who ascended to the Immortal Realm in the Transition Realm, two in the Mahayana Stage, three in the Harmonization Realm, no one in the Refined Void Realm, and fifteen in the Transformation God Realm!"

　　"If you join the sect today, you will be a disciple of the Great Summer Sword Sect for the rest of your life!"

　　"From now on, as long as you embark on the path of cultivation, as long as you do the right thing, you will be a disciple of the Da Xia Sword Sect."

　　"The clan will do everything it can to protect all its disciples!"

　　"The Great Summer Sword Sect's motto!"

　　"The sword in your hand does not point at the weak, and the sword in your heart does not fear the strong!"

　　"Peace the world's injustices, kill those who deserve to be killed!"

　　"If one day you encounter a strong enemy because of the sect's motto, the Great Summer Sword Sect will definitely mobilize the entire sect to protect you!"

　　"Li Guanqi, do you wish to join the Great Summer Sword Sect! Join the Heavenly Thunder Peak!"

　　Li Guanqi stood in place and slowly removed the cloth covering his eyes.

　　The pure white eyes looked straight into Lu Kangnian's eyes, raised the Mountain Water Incense in his hand, and said in a deep voice.

　　"Disciple Li Guanqi, I wish to worship the Great Summer Sword Sect and join the Heavenly Thunder Peak!!!"

　　Dang dang dang dang dang dang!

　　The war drums beat and resounded throughout the entire Heavenly Thunder Peak.

　　Lu Kangnian's face was serious as he said in a deep voice, "Honor the incense! The rite of entering the peak is complete!!!"

　　The subsequent ceremony was very simple, at which time Lu Kangnian walked very solemnly to Li Guanqi and handed out a white jade slip.

　　The jade slip was only the size of a palm, and on the front side was engraved with the emblem of the Daxia Sword Sect, with the words Daxia Sword Sect written on it.

　　On the back, it was engraved with his name as well as the peak-like appearance of Heavenly Thunder Peak.

　　"This is your identity jade slip, remember to make sure not to lose it!"

　　"As for what purpose this jade slip serves, you can slowly study it later."

　　Saying this, Lu Kangnian suddenly turned his head to look at the old man who just didn't seem to get along very well, and softly said.

　　"Now well ..."

　　"Li Nanting, do you want to accept him as a disciple?"

　　The second elder Xu Zhengjie's eyes looked at Lu Kangnian with grudging eyes, the Patriarch didn't even ask him, nor did he ask the Peak Master of Tian Lei Peak.

　　Li Guanqi stood still and didn't say anything, after all, this kind of thing, if the Patriarch arranged for someone suitable to be his master, he had no problem with it.

　　"Why does it have to be me? Old Xu can also do it."

　　Lu Kangnian shook his head and said softly, "The Great Summer Sword Sect has only produced these two good seedlings in so many years, and since he chose the Thunder System Spiritual Root."

　　"Then in the entire Heavenly Thunder Peak, only you are the most suitable candidate!"

　　"Whether it's sword techniques, gongfu techniques, the use of lightning system Yuan power, or even attainments in spirit incantations."

　　"Among the eight peak elders, you are the only one who is proficient in all of them... I don't feel comfortable with Li Guanqi worshipping under someone else."

　　Li Nanting was silent, for so many years he had gotten used to being alone and not asking about the world.

　　But when faced with a disciple with a sacred spiritual root, he was truly moved!

　　His hope of re-entering the realm of YuanYing in this life was as slim as a needle in a haystack, and he always wanted to find someone to pass on what he had learned.

　　The previous Wu Bing was a gold root, he was not suitable.

　　Li Nanting came to Li Guanqi's front, slowly squatted down and softly inquired, "Kid, I'll be your master, are you... willing?"

　　The old man's voice carried a slight tremor, and a hint of uneasiness.

　　While Li Guanqi felt the sincerity and caution in the old man.

　　The old man's eyes carried a kind of hope and expectation.

　　This kind of look made Li Guanqi's heart tremble, then he lifted his hem and slowly knelt down.

　　In a deep voice, he said, "Disciple Li Guanqi, I wish to worship you as my master!!!"

　　At this sight, a slight mist of water instantly appeared in the old man's eyes, and his eyes turned red.

　　Tilting his head, the old man's voice trembled as he said, "Good...good!!!"

　　The old man picked up the teenager with both hands and said in a deep voice with his face all around, "I, Li Nanting, accept disciple Li Guanqi as a closed disciple today!"

　　"In the future, please take care of the eight peak elders!"
