Not only will all kinds of cultivation resources be prioritized for them, but the various blessed lands and paradises controlled by the Celestial Master’s Mansion will also be opened first to the Celestial Master’s personal disciples.

For example, the immortal realm at the summit of Mount Longhu, shrouded in azure thunder, is called the Shangqing Thunder Mansion Paradise.

In recent years, Walker disciples have become increasingly high-profile, yet they are still not allowed to enter without permission.

But the Celestial Master’s personal disciples can.

Some may think such arrangements are unfair.

But the Celestial Master’s personal disciples have always been the very best among their peers in the mansion.

Looking across the world, they are still geniuses among geniuses.

Their peers for comparison are the leading figures of other great clans and holy lands.

It’s no wonder that the best steel is used for the blade’s edge.

Previously, Jason Reed had mediocre aptitude, so it was naturally difficult for the Celestial Master to make an exception for him.

Now that he has advanced to a spiritual body, the situation is naturally different.

At this moment, Jason Reed looked at Elder Grant.

The other party was as gentle as ever, showing no sign of minding, and even had an encouraging look in his eyes.

But in Jason Reed’s mind, the light sphere suddenly flashed again, and words appeared:

[Foundation established, fate meets another crossroads: either continue to soar, or rise and fall with the tides, all depends on your heart.]

Jason Reed agreed with this.

Life is mostly like this.

If you take the right step forward, you seem about to take off, but the next step could still be a misstep.

Only with a series of correct choices can fate truly rise.

After the light sphere flickered, this time two fortune sticks flew out, appearing in Jason Reed’s sea of consciousness:

[Upper-middle fortune: keep your feet on the ground, choose the renowned master before you, obtain a fourth-grade opportunity, seize the chance, focus on cultivation, accumulate steadily for a breakthrough. However, due to entangled karma, caution is needed in the future. Auspicious.]

[Lower-middle fortune: aim high, strive for a chance to ascend in one leap, but it is an illusion like flowers in a mirror or the moon in water, the road is rough. Inauspicious.]

Jason Reed was surprised.

The fortunes were as vague as before, but combined with the real situation, they were now crystal clear.

Upper-middle fortune, choose the right master... the subtext being that the best may not be the most suitable?

Lower-middle fortune, an illusion... so, failing to become the Celestial Master’s personal disciple, and even facing a very rough road ahead.

...Could it be that the current Celestial Master, a great pillar of Daoism, is about to fall or face misfortune?

Chapter 13 Senior Sister and Junior Sister

If something really goes wrong with the Celestial Master, what impact would it have on the entire Celestial Master’s Mansion?

Jason Reed first reined in his wildly wandering thoughts.

He spoke calmly: “Senior Sister led me into the Dao. It’s already a regret that I cannot become her disciple.

During this time, I have greatly benefited from the guidance of Elder Grant and Senior Brother Thompson. If Elder Grant is willing to accept me, I still hope to become Elder Grant’s disciple.”

William Thompson was surprised.

Charles Grant’s smile did not fade: “A master chooses disciples, but disciples also choose their master. Who would dislike such an excellent disciple? I’ve really picked up a great bargain that the sect leader and Niece Emily missed out on.”

Emily Grant: “Don’t count me in.”

“Congratulations to Master for gaining such a fine disciple.” After coming back to his senses, William Thompson smiled and said, “Junior Brother Reed, now we truly are fellow disciples.”

Jason Reed: “From now on, I ask Master, Senior Sister, and Senior Brother Thompson to continue to guide me.”

The formal change of address would actually have to wait until after the ordination ceremony, when the master-disciple relationship is officially confirmed.

But since it was just the four of them in private now, it was fine for Jason Reed to change how he addressed them.

“The Celestial Master will come out of seclusion for the New Year, so for this ordination ceremony, I imagine quite a few people will want to give it their all for a chance to become the Celestial Master’s personal disciple, right?” William Thompson said softly.

Charles Grant: “That’s only natural.”

He smiled at Emily Grant: “Olivia can finally fulfill her wish. It’s been hard for her, waiting nearly ten years.”

Emily Grant: “She chose this path herself, as long as she can accept it.”

William Thompson: “I remember Junior Sister Harris was also in seclusion before. Has she come out yet?”

Emily Grant: “Just two days ago.”

At first, Jason Reed didn’t realize who they were talking about, but after listening for a bit, he recalled the legendary figure in the Daoist Child Institute whom everyone had heard of but never seen.

Olivia Harris.

Not long ago, at the Qingyun Dang riverbank, because of the chaos at the Talisman Ink Tower, the other Daoist children had mentioned this Senior Sister Harris.

A legendary super genius, the number one prodigy for whom the Celestial Master’s Mansion, a Daoist holy land, had made exceptions more than once.

Of the eight branches of the Daoist Child Institute, the first branch had always been the private domain of Walker disciples in recent years.

The only exception was Olivia Harris, because she liked to be number one no matter where she was.

As far as Jason Reed knew, this girl had entered the Daoist Child Institute nearly ten years ago, missed three ordination ceremonies, and had never officially become a true disciple of the Celestial Master’s Mansion.

It wasn’t that she wasn’t qualified to participate, but that she was determined to become a personal disciple of the Celestial Master.

Who would have thought that the current Heavenly Master Walker would remain in seclusion for over a decade, so Olivia Harris just kept waiting, spending ten years as a Daoist child.

It’s only because the current Celestial Master is still around; otherwise, people might have just accepted her as a disciple on his behalf.

It’s said that the mansion couldn’t bear to let such a super genius be delayed, so quite a few elders privately made exceptions to give her special instruction.

When The Walker Family disciples received special instruction, it was mostly just extra resources.

But for this genius girl, rumor has it that she may have been taught many true transmission secret arts and divine abilities that ordinary Daoist children could never access...
