The ritual concluded, and after the grand ceremony, Zhang Xiongtai officially became Zhang Jingzhen's disciple.
Lei Jun and Yuan Mobai assisted Shangguan Ning on the sidelines during the ceremony.
Several promising seeds emerged at this year's Transmission Ceremony, but the one that attracted the most attention was Zhang Jingzhen's leading disciple, Zhang Xiongtai.
On one hand, his talent was extraordinary. Normally, he wouldn't have needed four years to participate in the Transcension Ritual. It was just that the previous Transmission Ceremony occurred when he had been in the Tao Boy Court for only a year. The timing was rather tight, so he was held over until this year's Transmission Ceremony.
On the other hand, it was due to his identity. His master, Zhang Jingzhen, was the only High Merit Elder taking on a disciple at this Transmission Ceremony. Moreover, both teacher and student hailed from the Tang Imperial Court. This naturally led to much speculation.
