After finishing his words, the Guard excused himself and departed.
"Seed disciple..."
Lu Changsheng roughly understood.
The first three months, in truth, belonged to the "newcomer protection period."
After three months, one must rely on their own strength to protect their identity as a "seed disciple."
A seed disciple not only gets to directly choose exceptional martial arts, but most crucially, the resources and contribution points are doubled.
In this regard, countless ordinary disciples would likely go crazy with envy.
Challengers would undoubtedly come in an endless stream each month.
To maintain the identity of a seed disciple is no small feat.
However, Lu Changsheng was unafraid.
With three months ahead, he could take his time to understand the workings of the Outer Sect of the North Region Heavenly Sect.
As for challenges?
That was a matter for three months later.
Besides, his strength was far from weak.
At this moment, Lu Changsheng thought of Heaven Heart.
He took out Heaven Heartās token.
He noticed that it was different from his own token.
On Heaven Heartās token, there wasnāt the name "Heaven Heart."
"Perhaps Heaven Heart has not truly joined the North Region Heavenly Sect."
"He merely has the qualification to enter the North Region Heavenly Sect but has yet to formally become a disciple of the sect."
"Heaven Heart stayed so long on the northern battlefield, likely with the purpose of perfecting his Slaughter Intent and evolving it into a Slaughter Domain."
"With the Slaughter Domain, Heaven Heart could ascend the Heavenly Ladder and easily become a seed disciple of the North Region Heavenly Sectās Outer Sect."
"Heaven Heartās goal is to become a seed disciple..."
Lu Changsheng suddenly realized.
He more or less understood Heaven Heartās purpose now.
So it was to become a seed disciple!
Thankfully, before coming to the North Region Heavenly Sect, Lu Changsheng had already evolved his Perception Domain.
If not, he likely wouldnāt have been able to pass the Heavenly Ladder nor become a seed disciple.
Lu Changsheng opened the Outer Sect Manual.
Inside, it contained various detailed introductions about the Outer Sect.
Just having joined the North Region Heavenly Sect, he needed to find a place to stay.
And as a seed disciple, he was eligible to be assigned a private courtyard.
Lu Changsheng went directly to the Outer Sect and sought out the Outer Sect Steward.
He tossed out his token and said, "Arrange a courtyard for me."
The steward saw the token, and his eyes sharpened.
Seed disciple!
The Outer Sect had yet another seed disciple, which meant he must have come by way of the Heavenly Ladder.
Such a disciple was extraordinarily gifted and had great potential for becoming a True Inheritance disciple in the future.
Immediately, the steward put on a broad smile and respectfully said, "Courtyard Number Twelve is still vacant. Would you like to take a look?"
"Alright, letās go take a look."
The steward led Lu Changsheng to a secluded courtyard.
Lu Changsheng inspected it carefully and deemed it acceptable.
"Very well, Iāll take this courtyard."
"Alright, Iāll have all your daily necessities sent over shortly."
Finishing his words, the steward left.
Lu Changsheng walked into the courtyard.
It felt like a strange coincidence.
He previously went by the alias Sword12, and now, arriving at the North Region Heavenly Sect, he was assigned Courtyard Number Twelve.
However, the courtyard housed only Lu Changsheng himself and had no servants.
Only Inner Sect disciples were entitled to recruit servants.
Fortunately, Lu Changsheng valued solitudeāall the better to be alone.
Before long, the steward delivered all the necessary daily items.
What Lu Changsheng didnāt know was that, though he had just settled in, word had already spread throughout the vast Outer Sect.
The reason was simpleāhe was a seed disciple!
"A newly admitted disciple, named Lu Changsheng, is it? Heās actually a seed disciple. Three months later, weāll have the chance to challenge him. If I succeed, I can take his seed disciple spot!"
"These freshly inducted seed disciples are usually the easiest targets, the weakest in terms of strength. Indeed, this is an opportunity."
"Gather information on him! Find out everything about Lu Changshengās background. Someone who ascended the Heavenly Ladder must not be weak. Know yourself and your enemy to avoid an embarrassing defeatāthat would truly be a joke."
"Thereās fresh news. This Lu Changsheng slew numerous servants of Inner Sect senior brothers at the foot of the mountain."
"What a bold move! A domineering and ruthless character indeed. To kill even before formally entering the sectāthis is no ordinary talent."
"This person is undoubtedly extraordinary. He doesnāt seem to fear causing trouble. We must thoroughly investigate his background."
For a time, many disciples began looking into Lu Changshengās history.
However, no one dared to disturb him.
Many were silently making preparations.
They werenāt fools and wouldnāt waste their energy on futile provocations.
Such actions were meaningless.
Instead, they would wait for three months to make their move. And when they did, theyād strike hard to knock Lu Changsheng down from his pedestal, seizing the title of seed disciple for themselves!
