The Grand Elder paid him no attention.
After walking for a while along the tomb path with Tang Yu, they both stopped in front of an ancient statue.
The statue depicted the tomb owner, Zhang Zhong.
The face of the statue was already somewhat blurred, clearly having not withstood the passage of hundreds of years.
In front of the statue was an offering table, on which were some tributes and an incense burner.
Next to the incense burner was a heart incense stick, which made Tang Yu want to take it.
The Grand Elder pointed to the cushion under the offering table and said:
"Light three heart incense sticks, kneel on the cushion, and bow three times."
"Then place the incense sticks in the incense burner. If nothing unusual happens with the incense, from today on, you will be an elder of the Nine Heavens Alliance."
Tang Yu nodded, knowing that this was another type of test.
However, he didn't mind, as he had no ill intentions. He lit the three incense sticks and began the ritual.
Once the three incense sticks were in the incense burner, the Grand Elder carefully observed the incense.
Upon confirming that there was no problem, he slightly nodded, and a smile appeared on his face.
If someone with ill intentions had tried to become an elder, they would not have passed this test.
"And then?"
After completing the ritual, Tang Yu put his hand in his pocket and asked.
Suddenly, he felt some itching, unsure if it was from mosquito bites from the previous night. He thought he could ask his master to scratch it when he returned.
Seeing Tang Yu's gesture, the Grand Elder, with a vein of frustration on his forehead, said: "Sit on the cushion, meditate, and cultivate. After the three incense sticks burn completely, you can get up."
"Alright."
Tang Yu sat cross-legged on the cushion and began to meditate.
As soon as he sat, the smoke from the three incense sticks began to descend and wrap around him.
Tang Yu clearly felt a steady flow of true energy circulating through his body, causing his cultivation to rise rapidly, as if he were advancing thousands of steps in a single day.
The Grand Elder, with his hands behind his back, silently observed from the side.
Once the ascension ritual was completed and the Nine Heavens Alliance accepted Tang Yu, he would receive a special offering from the Nine Dragons formation, something every elder had experienced.
Unfortunately, this offering could only be received once, but it was enough to demonstrate how powerful the Nine Dragons formation was.
A ritual that had existed for centuries still had such an effect.
It even protected the entire Nine Heavens Alliance.
Why did the Nine Heavens Alliance have so many experts? Precisely because the cultivation effect here was exceptional.
The one who tried to lay his hands on the Nine Dragons formation, Ye Feilong, had also accepted this special offering.
This man, after that, studied the formation extensively and surely discovered some secrets they didn't know.
Remembering those times, the Grand Elder couldn't help but show some hatred in his eyes.
Meanwhile, Tang Yu was quietly enjoying the offering from the Nine Dragons formation.
When the three incense sticks burned completely, the Grand Elder called out to him.
"How do you feel?"
The Grand Elder asked, smiling.
"Can I repeat it?"
"Get out of here!"
Seeing that the Grand Elder was kindly rejecting him, Tang Yu smiled and realized he had overthought it.
The offering he just received saved him a lot of cultivation work.
If a [Yellow] level expert had received such an offering, they could easily have advanced to [Heaven] level in one step.
"By the way, Grand Elder, where is the Nine Dragons formation? Can I see it to broaden my horizons?"
Tang Yu looked around, curious.
However, the tomb area was dark, and only the sacred path they were on was illuminated by eternal light lanterns.
"We're now in the outer layer of the tomb. To see the Nine Dragons formation, you must go to the inner layer, but forget it, no one can enter except your master. Hurry up and leave!"
The Grand Elder sneered coldly and ordered him to leave.
The formation was too important for the Qiu family, and the tomb's elders only took care of the outer layer. To enter the inner layer, the Saint's consent was needed.
So, although he himself couldn't enter freely, did this kid want to go open his eyes?
Tang Yu just followed the Grand Elder and left with him.
Once the two left, the elder in charge of guarding the tomb closed the door again and resumed sleeping at the entrance.
Meanwhile, the Grand Elder continued talking with Tang Yu during the walk, giving him some advice on what he should be aware of now that he was an elder.
Among those pieces of advice, he hinted to Tang Yu to stop trying to annoy the disciples from the inner door or trying to take advantage of them in any way.
How shameful!
"Considering you just became an elder and your abilities are still quite limited due to your youth, it is not appropriate for you to teach the outer disciples. So, for now, do some simple tasks."
"This month, you'll be in charge of patrolling places like the Clear Moon Lake."
"Recently, some disciples have been secretly going there to train. Go there right now."
After talking to Tang Yu, the Grand Elder made a gesture and assigned him a series of minor tasks that the other elders didn't want to do.
Tang Yu frowned, realizing that this old man was trying to trap him.
He thought to himself, "When I return, I'll teach your granddaughter a lesson."
He responded indifferently and went off to carry out the task.
While the disciples could have peaceful days, the elders were not so lucky.
However, for his master to convince him to cultivate with him without worries, Tang Yu thought it wouldn't be bad to occupy himself with something for a while, as it really wasn't going to be much work.
The Clear Moon Lake is located on a mountain in the outer forests of the gate, it is a natural lake shaped like a crescent moon.
Every full moon night, when the moonlight falls on the water, the Clear Moon Lake becomes a reflection of the moon's glow, resonating with the moon in the sky.
According to the elders of the Nine Heavens Alliance, this place is rich in the essence of the sun and moon, making it a good place to train.
In fact, the Clear Moon Lake does have an effect on accelerating cultivation.
However, when many people use it, the effect becomes quite weak.
That's why the elders tend to seal these places, and after some time, when they reopen them, the cultivation effects are much better.
Tang Yu calmly arrived at the Clear Moon Lake, but didn't see any disciples training there.
He crouched by the water's edge and washed his hands.
The lake water was so clear he could see the bottom.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, this type of water, which contains spiritual energy, is first-rate heavenly water, perfect for preparing medicines.
It's also an excellent option for making tea.
While Tang Yu thought about whether he should find a container to take some water and prepare tea for his master, he heard footsteps and laughter coming from the base of the mountain.
Upon hearing the laughter, Tang Yu frowned and discreetly retreated behind some bushes.
No, actually, he slightly moved his ears and decided to jump to a nearby tree by the lake to hide.
Ah, we have to catch the violating disciples in the act!
He waited patiently for a few minutes until several female disciples arrived laughing.
"Wow, it's been so long since I came to the Clear Moon Lake to have fun."
"The last time I came with Sister Guo at midnight, the moon was beautiful that night. This place has an amazing view."
"I heard that the water from the Clear Moon Lake is really good for the skin, did you know? It also helps with weight loss!"
"Forget about the weight loss part, with more practice you lose weight. But for the skin, yes, the water is really good."
The disciples continued chatting as they began to strip off their clothes to get into the water to bathe.
However, before entering the water, they made sure to look around to see if anyone was nearby.
Once they confirmed the place was safe, they laughed and started undressing.
"Ah, Lihua, you've grown more, how enviable!"
"It's a nuisance, what's there to envy? When I train, it's a problem."
"Xiaoxue has such long legs! I wish I had legs as long as hers."
The girls praised each other as they took off all their clothes.
When they were ready to get into the water and start playing, Tang Yu jumped from behind the tree and shouted, "What are you doing? Don't you know swimming in the Clear Moon Lake is forbidden?"
His shout made the disciples shudder in fear.
At that moment, several nearby mountains seemed to tremble from the echo of the shout, making Tang Yu feel somewhat disoriented.
He couldn't stop looking!
