Chapter 495: Student?

"Greetings, Sect Master!" 

Everyone greeted Jiu Shen with a light bow of their heads. 

Jiu Shen smiled and waved his hand. He then stared at Ren Shuang and beckoned for the guy to come near him. "How is the construction of the sword tower?" Jiu Shen asked. 

Ren Shuang glanced at Jiu Shen and replied. "With the manpower you sent, the construction process has become a lot faster. The sword tower will be completed in a few days. However, we still couldn't find a high-level Array Formation Maker to create a Protective Array Formation for us. Sect Master, do you know where we can find one?" 

Jiu Shen patted Ren Shuang's back and chuckled lightly as he said. "In front of you is a high-level Array Formation Maker. Once you complete the construction of the sword tower, just inform me and I'll rush there to create a Protective Array Formation. You can ask Serek and that brat right there to search for the materials needed. As for the payments of the materials, someone else will help us with that. They might even have the materials we needed for the Protective Array Formation." Jiu Shen was talking about the God Sword Region.

Ren Shuang nodded his head upon hearing Jiu Shen's words. He totally forgot that their Sect Master was also an Array Formation Maker and on top of that, he was also proficient in other professions! "I will notify you immediately once the sword tower is completed." 

"Alright." 

Ren Shuang bowed at Jiu Shen and stood beside him with a thoughtful look on his face. He didn't know why, but he kept on having this life-like dream where he was training under someone with the same name as the Sect Master. It was weird but it also felt real at the same time. 'I wonder what this dream means...'He muttered to himself.

This thing has been bugging him for many days now, but he didn't want to tell this to the Sect Master since it might be just a normal dream. 

"Since everyone has now gathered in this hall, let me tell you the reason why I asked all of you to come here. It is actually simple. From now on, you will be cultivating in this hall!" Jiu Shen said while pointing at the ground beneath him. 

"Here?" Everyone was confused when they heard his words. The true essence around this place might be denser than normal, but it wasn't enough for all of them. 

Looking at their confused expressions, Jiu Shen smiled and said. "This place is the best cultivation hall you can find in the Primordial God Realm. You will know about it when you start cultivating. Try it." 

Everyone furrowed their eyebrows with perplexed expressions, but they followed their Sect Master's command and proceeded to sit down cross-legged. One by one, they began to cultivate...

The first one to notice something was Ren Shuang. He opened his eyes abruptly and stood up with a stunned look. "This is..."

After a few more seconds, Hestia and the others also opened their eyes in surprise after they realized the value of this cultivation hall. 

"Sect Master, is the true essence here unlimited?" A disciple asked nervously. He felt a huge amount of true essence entering his body when he started cultivating just a few moments ago. He found it absurd that such a large amount of true essence was absorbed by him in just a short amount of time. If that was the same for everyone else, wouldn't the true essence inside the cultivation hall be fully consumed? 

"Good question. However, you don't need to worry about this. The true essence in this cultivation hall is unlimited! However, you must not cultivate here permanently! One has to experience more battles to stabilize your realm! Remember that." Jiu Shen answered in a calm voice. 

"Unlimited? What?!" Everyone's eyes widened like saucers when they heard this. Such an absurd place actually exists in this world?! If it didn't come from Jiu Shen's mouth, they would have thought that he was a madman. 

"Alright, everyone. You can now start cultivating to your heart's content! Ren Shuang, Hestia, Yang Zenke, the three of you, follow me downstairs first." Jiu Shen called out.

Other than the three called by Jiu Shen, everyone else started cultivating inside the cultivation hall with eager looks. 

Jiu Shen brought the three downstairs and found a random spot. He sat down and gestured for the other three to do the same. "I sent two armored guards to fetch the God Sword Region's people. Their three Heavenly God Realm experts will soon come here, and you three will be responsible for finalizing the merging process with them. Those three are cunning little brats, so make sure that you won't be conned by them." Jiu Shen warned them. 

"Sect Master, why are we suddenly merging with those people?" Hestia asked with a curious look on her face. Yang Zenke was also curious about this. He wondered what the God Sword Region's connection was with Jiu Shen.

Meanwhile, Ren Shuang suddenly frowned upon hearing this. 'God Sword Region? Isn't that the sect in my dreams? This...' He became even more confused about the meaning of his dream. Could it be...his dream was real?

"It's quite a long story, so I'll explain it quickly. The God Sword Region is the sect of a student of mine. Although I didn't take that brat as my disciple, he was still my student. However, he's already dead, so as his teacher, I'll make sure that the sect he left behind would not be destroyed or forgotten." Jiu Shen said with a hint of guilt. Xuan Kaisheng's death was related to him. It was also one of the reasons why he decided to take the God Sword Region. As the teacher of Xuan Kaisheng, he wanted to help the sect of his student rise from the ashes! 

Hestia and Yang Zenke were surprised when they heard this, but they remained silent and no longer pressed the matter. 

Ren Shuang who was silent the whole time suddenly grabbed Jiu Shen's arm and asked. "Is your student's name Xuan Kaisheng?"
