The Star Lord of Red Kun does not accept disciples.
This point was told to Lin Yuan long ago by Fang Qing.
The major forces in the Red Kun Star Domain, and even in other star domains, are also aware of this.
Even though every once in a while, there are prominent figures from other forces who, through various means, attempt to have the Star Lord of Red Kun accept their descendants.
So far, not a single one has succeeded.
The reason for this is because the Star Lord of Red Kun is indeed strong in teaching disciples.
Normally, even ten sixth-rank evolvers, or a hundred, or even a thousand, might not have one who breaks through to the seventh rank.
But what about the disciples of the Star Lord of Red Kun? There are twelve disciples.
Three of them have surpassed the sixth rank.
This probability is simply terrifying.
Although it is said that among the twelve disciples of the Star Lord of Red Kun, each one is extraordinary, and the probability of breaking through the sixth rank is much higher than that of ordinary sixth-rank evolvers outside.
Even so, three out of twelve disciples is still extremely exaggerated.
But unfortunately, since ten thousand years ago, after the new disciple accepted by the Star Lord of Red Kun died at the hands of the foreign race, there have been no more disciples accepted.
Actually, before that new disciple, the Star Lord of Red Kun didn't accept many disciples either.
After all, at the level of the Star Lord of Red Kun, unless they really like someone, accepting disciples is a complete waste of time.
In past competitions in the Red Kun Star Domain, all the geniuses discovered were completely ignored by the Star Lord of Red Kun, and all were handed over to the twelve disciples.
Whether it's a genius with a Crimson Mark, a Gold Mark, or even a regular Silver Mark, they're all the same in the eyes of the Star Lord of Red Kun.
Of course, a few geniuses with Crimson Marks would still get a second look from the Star Lord of Red Kun.
But that's about it.
"Respects to the teacher."
In the spacious palace, Lin Yuan bowed slightly.
Although he didn't know what level the Star Lord of Red Kun was at.
But it's very obvious that he is far superior to Lin Yuan.
In front of such a strong person, Lin Yuan naturally wouldn't show any disdain.
Moreover, by accepting the Star Lord of Red Kun as his teacher, it's equivalent to completely standing on the same side.
If Lin Yuan has any needs, or encounters any troubles, the Star Lord of Red Kun wouldn't ignore them.
In the Cosmic Human Alliance, formally accepting a teacher is a very serious matter.
"Not bad."
The Star Lord of Red Kun was quite satisfied.
Although his eyes were closed slightly.
But every little detail of Lin Yuan's was reflected in his heart.
As early as twenty to thirty thousand years ago, he stopped accepting disciples.
Because he didn't think it was necessary.
With that time, he might as well cultivate himself.
But Lin Yuan is different.
Within a short month, he grasped the surface of the Mysterious yellow evolutionary path.
If properly cultivated, he would probably surpass the twelve disciples in front of him.
More importantly, the Star Lord of Red Kun wanted to see where the limit of the Mysterious yellow evolutionary path lies.
What's so special about the evolutionary method he brought out of that cosmic secret realm at the risk of his life so many years ago.
The Star Lord of Red Kun is not suitable for practicing it himself.
But he can see it through Lin Yuan.
"How's your understanding of the Mysterious yellow evolutionary path?"
The Star Lord of Red Kun inquired.
"The Mysterious yellow evolutionary path?"
Lin Yuan immediately understood that the mysterious evolutionary path he had comprehended was named 'Mysterious yellow.'
"Just a little bit."
Lin Yuan's face showed a trace of shame.
In nearly ten days, he immersed himself in understanding, but he only grasped one percent of the first rank.
And above the first rank, there are still the second rank and the third rank.
"Normal."
"In a month's time, to grasp a little bit is already good."
The Star Lord of Red Kun said nonchalantly.
Evolver's lifespans are long, as long as they cultivate to the sixth rank, they can live for twenty thousand to fifty thousand years, and surpassing the sixth rank means a lifespan of two hundred thousand years.
Lin Yuan still has plenty of time to comprehend further.
Moreover, as Lin Yuan's realm rises, his efficiency in understanding will gradually improve.
What the Star Lord of Red Kun didn't know is that Lin Yuan's comprehension of the Mysterious yellow evolutionary path didn't take a month.
But only ten days.
Most importantly, Lin Yuan's comprehension is a forced one.
"I am very satisfied with your character."
After observing Lin Yuan's growth trajectory, the Star Lord of Red Kun nodded slightly and said.
The Goddess of Wisdom has blocked some information about Lin Yuan.
The Star Lord of Red Kun can only see roughly, but even so, it surprises him somewhat.
Because the Star Lord of Red Kun finds that Lin Yuan is too low-key.
As a fourth-rank evolver, there was actually no information about Lin Yuan on Canglan Star before participating in this round of competition?
Even with the help of the Goddess of Wisdom, it's incredible to achieve this.
After all, as an evolver with great power, it's hard to return to ordinary life.
Yet Lin Yuan managed it, living in obscurity until the age of nineteen.
Then, he suddenly made a name for himself when the competition began.
This behavior is exactly what the Star Lord of Red Kun admires.
Ten thousand years ago, the last disciple the Star Lord of Red Kun accepted, much like Lin Yuan, was exceptionally talented and suited to cultivate the Mysterious yellow evolutionary path.
But this disciple was too high-profile and ended up being assassinated by an alien race.
Even though the Star Lord of Red Kun retaliated fiercely, it was meaningless since the person was already dead.
Lin Yuan, on the other hand, is completely different.
If it weren't for this competition, perhaps Canglan Star wouldn't even know about Lin Yuan.
Although the Star Lord of Red Kun hasn't shown it, he appreciates this approach.
Back when he successfully possessed the Star-Sea Kun fish of the Star Sea, he didn't immediately return to human civilization but spent thousands of years surpassing the sixth rank before considering other matters.
The more of a genius one is, the more low-key they should be until they have fully matured.
"Understood."
Lin Yuan nodded.
In fact, he had only become an evolver two or three years ago.
Of course, this 'time' refers to the main world's time.
But the Star Lord of Red Kun definitely wouldn't believe it; he subconsciously assumed Lin Yuan had been practicing for over ten years, just remaining unknown all this time.
"You are now my disciple, which means you are part of the Red Kun lineage, the thirteenth peak master."
The Star Lord of Red Kun looked at Lin Yuan and said, "I have no other requirements for you, except that until you reach the sixth rank, don't reveal your identity as my disciple unless you are permanently residing on the Red Kun main star."
"Understood."
Lin Yuan nodded.
The Star Lord of Red Kun hadn't accepted disciples for tens of thousands of years.
Today, he suddenly accepted one.
What would others think? What would the alien races think?
Given the methods of the Star Lord of Red Kun in nurturing disciples, there is a great hope for this disciple to break through the sixth rank.
If so, why not wait for this disciple to be weak and then kill them?
In the eyes of the alien races, the identity of the Star Lord of Red Kun's disciple is probably no lower than that of the founder of a certain sixth-rank evolutionary path.
Even at a huge cost, it must be eradicated.
"Of course, it's just best not to expose your identity. As for other matters, as the thirteenth peak master of the Red Kun lineage, your treatment and status will naturally be substantial."
"I'll have Gu Ze explain the details to you."
The Star Lord of Red Kun said.
Next, the Star Lord of Red Kun gave Lin Yuan some instructions.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he handed Lin Yuan over to the third senior brother, Gu Ze.
"Junior Brother."
Inside a manor, Gu Ze looked at Lin Yuan with a smile on his face.
"Third Senior Brother."
Lin Yuan's expression was solemn.
Among the twelve disciples of the Star Lord of Red Kun, three have surpassed the sixth rank.
This third senior brother is one of them.
"This is the virtual world of our Red Kun lineage."
Third Senior Brother Gu Ze stood up and brought Lin Yuan to a vast continent.
This continent is a hundred times the size of Canglan Star, with a huge mountain standing in the center.
In addition, around this central mountain, there are thirteen smaller peaks.
"That's where Junior Brother's residence is."
Third Senior Brother Gu Ze came to one of the thirteen peaks.
From a distance, this peak is indeed not large, far less magnificent than the central peak. However, when Lin Yuan approached, he found that the size of this peak is nearly half that of Canglan Star.
"As a peak master, Junior Brother has the highest authority over this peak."
"You can recruit disciples and servants here. Of course, this is just a virtual world, so its significance is not very large."
"When you come to the Red Kun main star one day, I'll explain it to you in detail."
Third Senior Brother Gu Ze brought Lin Yuan to the top of this peak and continued:
"In addition, as a disciple of the teacher, you can access any evolutionary path recorded by the Red Kun lineage."
"Any evolutionary path?" Lin Yuan was intrigued.
A virtual screen appeared in front of him, flashing various evolutionary paths.
"So many?"
Lin Yuan felt a little excited.
Although he gained a lot from the Seventh Star Cave, all the evolutionary paths he obtained combined were only over a hundred.
Now, the Red Kun lineage records thousands of evolutionary paths, including those surpassing the sixth rank.
"The Mysterious yellow evolutionary path is not included."
After looking through it briefly, Lin Yuan didn't find the Mysterious yellow evolutionary path.
"Also, every time you break through, you can apply for 'Red Spirit Liquid.'"
Third Senior Brother Gu Ze said with a smile.
"Red Spirit Liquid?"
Lin Yuan was puzzled.
"Red Spirit Liquid is a unique resource of our Red Kun lineage, which cannot be found outside." Third Senior Brother Gu Ze smiled and explained.
"The use of Red Spirit Liquid is to transform into the purest energy to replenish oneself."
"If you break through from the fourth rank tenth stage to the eleventh stage, for example, you don't need to slowly absorb external energy to transform yourself. You just need to apply for a drop of Red Spirit Liquid."
Third Senior Brother Gu Ze explained.
"I see."
Lin Yuan understood.
In other words, as a disciple of the Star Lord of Red Kun, Lin Yuan doesn't need to waste extra time accumulating basic energy.
As long as he reaches a certain realm, he can break through without any restrictions.
This is significant for Lin Yuan.
Every time he transmigrate, Lin Yuan has to spend a lot of money to buy rare treasures and spiritual objects to restore his full strength.
Now, he doesn't have to worry about this aspect anymore; he can just apply for Red Spirit Liquid directly.
"Your strength is still weak now, so the teacher specially selected a bodyguard team for you, as well as three life-saving command tokens."
Third Senior Brother Gu Ze paused here and continued to explain.
The so-called bodyguard team consists of personal powerhouses from the Red Kun lineage, led by a sixth-rank evolver as captain, with over ten fifth-rank evolvers as members.
They provide close protection for the peak master.
This bodyguard team is absolutely loyal, personally selected by the Star Lord of Red Kun, and will not have any rebellious intentions.
As for the three life-saving command tokens, they are unique to Lin Yuan; none of the other twelve senior brothers have received such treatment.
These three command tokens are personally crafted by the Star Lord of Red Kun. Once Lin Yuan encounters insurmountable danger, the tokens will activate automatically.
Canglan Star.
In the central mainland manor.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
"This is too exaggerated."
Lin Yuan exclaimed.
Through the introduction of Third Senior Brother Gu Ze, Lin Yuan roughly understood the treatment of becoming a disciple of the Star Lord of Red Kun.
It mainly consists of five aspects:
Status: As the thirteenth peak master, Lin Yuan's status in the Red Kun lineage is second only to the Star Lord. On par with the other twelve peak masters, as long as the conditions are met, he can mobilize the army of evolvers from the Red Kun lineage.
Access to various evolutionary paths recorded by the Red Kun lineage. This is most important for Lin Yuan. According to the collection of the Red Kun lineage, Lin Yuan will hardly lack evolutionary paths to comprehend before reaching the sixth rank.
Ability to apply for Red Spirit Liquid. This helps Lin Yuan save a lot of money.
Possession of a bodyguard team led by a sixth-rank evolver.
Three life-saving command tokens.
"Made a big profit."
Lin Yuan felt delighted.
No wonder the Goddess of Wisdom advised him to go all out in the competition.
The rewards indeed far exceed the effort.
What Lin Yuan didn't know was that the Goddess of Wisdom didn't predict that he would become a disciple of the Star Lord of Red Kun.
If he were just a peak master's disciple, his treatment and status would naturally be greatly discounted.
"Now that the bodyguard team should have set off, it will take at least one or two months to travel from the Red Kun main star to Canglan Star even through the wormhole."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Since the bodyguard team is meant to protect him, they will accompany Lin Yuan wherever he goes.
"As a disciple of the Star Lord, as long as I don't say it, the Star Lord doesn't say it, the several senior brothers don't say it, and the three goddesses don't say it, no one will know."
Before participating in the Seven Star Cave test, Lin Yuan changed his appearance and physique.
Even Fang Qing didn't recognize him.
Several days later.
Fang Qing came excitedly.
"Brother Lin, I've been accepted into the Red Kun lineage!"
Fang Qing's tone was exhilarated as he shared this good news with Lin Yuan.
Not long after Lin Yuan left the Seventh Star Cave, Fang Qing successfully comprehended the evolutionary path within the stone statue and passed the test.
In fact, there are quite a few Silver Mark evolvers who passed the Seven Star Cave test each time.
Of course, compared to the vast number of Silver Mark testers, the probability of ultimately passing the test is extremely low.
Although Fang Qing is a Silver Mark tester, as a descendant of a fallen sixth-rank powerhouse, he is at least stronger than most Silver Mark testers, if not close to the gold-lined level.
Moreover, with an intelligent being behind the scenes, it is not surprising for him to pass the Seven Star Cave test.
"Congratulations."
Lin Yuan nodded.
"A few more days, and the Seven Star Cave test will be over."
"By then, I will meet the various peak masters of the Red Kun lineage along with other testers who passed the test, as long as I can be accepted by one of the peak masters."
Fang Qing couldn't help but fantasize.
The peak masters of the Red Kun lineage are all far superior in strength compared to the same rank, not to mention that three of them are even beyond the sixth rank.
Even when his teacher was alive, he was far from being as strong as the peak masters of the Red Kun lineage.
"The various peak masters?"
Lin Yuan fell into a short contemplation.
Shouldn't he be considered one of the peak masters of the Red Kun lineage now?
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan looked at Fang Qing with a somewhat strange gaze.
Perhaps Fang Qing could not even dream that the revered and awe-inspiring peak master of the Red Kun lineage he looks up to... is right in front of him.
