Chapter 884: Chapter 875: Reward
With eight legs supporting the ground, Gu Cangsheng moved swiftly. In the blink of an eye, he had already dashed out of the palace gates, disappearing without a trace.
Within the palace, Gu Cangsheng was not the only person whose body had undergone a mutation.
After the mutation occurred, these people’s consciousness became hazy and dim, with only reverence and fanaticism toward the Emperor Pan Ancestor remaining in their hearts.
In such a situation, while the Emperor Pan Ancestor gave his sermon, they were unable to enter a state of Path Enlightenment and completely failed to grasp any insights of the Great Path shared by the Emperor Pan Ancestor.
Now, with the Emperor Pan Ancestor’s sermon concluded, the dozen or so mutants in the hall, including Gu Cangsheng, had actually regained clarity of mind.
Gu Cangsheng was the first to speak, attempting to become a disciple under the Emperor Pan Ancestor’s tutelage. What he thought was nothing more than seeking shelter beneath a mighty tree.
After all, given what he did on the Guiding Road, countless people harbor intense hatred toward him, wishing to kill him to appease their anger.
Once he left the Emperor Pan Palace, if those guys surrounded him, would there be any good outcome for Gu Cangsheng?
Likewise, on the Guiding Road, while he attacked others stealthily when they passed nearby, he picked his targets carefully and didn’t attack familiar faces. However, among the hundreds in the Emperor Pan Palace, there were bound to be those who knew his background!
The place he hails from, Qixia Island, might be considered formidable within the Endless Sea, but if those he offended were determined to seek vengeance, Qixia Island absolutely couldn’t protect him.
Knowing clearly the situation he’s in now, he naturally wanted desperately to cling to the sturdy leg of the Emperor Pan Ancestor.
After all, if he became a disciple of the Emperor Pan Ancestor, the predicament he’s facing would be easily resolved.
Regrettably, post-mutation, his appearance wasn’t attractive, yet his imagination ran wild!
After being flung to the corner, he clearly realized the harsh truth that it was impossible for him to be accepted as a disciple by the Emperor Pan Ancestor. Naturally, he could only settle for second best and seize the opportunity to escape.
In the main hall, the remaining mutants exchanged glances, faces filled with helplessness, and let out a long sigh.
Gu Cangsheng wished to become a disciple of the Emperor Pan Ancestor but was turned away at the door.
No need to think hard to understand; although these people whose bodies had mutated felt particularly close to the old Emperor Pan on the high platform and were full of worship and admiration, they simply didn’t have the fortune of becoming his disciples.
Though unwilling in their hearts, the mutants left in the main hall respectfully bowed to the old Emperor Pan, faces marked with deep disappointment, and ultimately turned to leave the Emperor Pan Palace.
Faced with this situation, the old Emperor Pan on the high platform gave no reaction, silently watching the mutants disappear beyond the palace gates, their faces always carrying a bit of inexplicable mirth.
This smile of his, at first glance, indeed inspired a sense of affinity, but somehow, Chen Hai’s heart sounded an alarm, feeling somewhat creepy.
“If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening!”
“To become a disciple under my tutelage is the supreme opportunity bestowed upon you by me. Missing it means you will pass by the Great Path.”
“Seeking to transcend the Primordial Heaven and Earth and stand shoulder to shoulder with Saints, entering the Primordial Chaos Realm, this is your great fortune.”
“Of course, I also know that many among you are proud and unyielding, unwilling to dwell beneath another.”
“For those unwilling to become my disciples and wish to leave, feel free to do so. I surely won’t force anyone!”
“I’m merely reminding you all; the opportunity for enlightenment is already before you. If you do not cherish it yourselves, hopefully, you won’t regret it later!”
The inexplicable smile hanging on his lips was already withdrawn by the Emperor Pan Ancestor.
His eyes were as deep as the limitless starry sky, the sun, moon, and stars seemed to continuously flow between his eight arms, showing neither happiness nor sadness, he glanced at the crowd present.
There was not a trace of anger to be seen on his face, and similarly, his words held no dissatisfaction or resentment, yet they fell into the ears of the people in the hall, making them feel indescribably pressured.
“Ancestor, to become your disciple is the greatest opportunity of my life, Longao.”
“So long as you don’t disdain my limited aptitude, here and now, I sincerely request to become your recorded disciple!”
After a period of silence, finally, someone in the crowd spoke voluntarily.
Named Longao, this person was seated not far from Chen Hai.
His strength, though not yet in the Quasi-Saint Realm, he had already reached Perfect Daluo Golden Immortal.
Before the Emperor Pan Ancestor appeared, Chen Hai had already noticed this person’s presence.
In his perception, Longao was someone with an air of extreme arrogance.
It was truly unexpected for him that the first to agree to become a disciple under the Emperor Pan Ancestor was this individual.
“Very well, being the first to join me, you will be the senior brother among the recorded disciples in the future.”
“This item is called Golden Light Stone, a trinket I unintentionally found while wandering through chaos.”
“As the senior brother among my recorded disciples, naturally there should be a reward; this Golden Light Stone is given to you!” Content orıginally comes from 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝓷𝓮𝓽
Nodding, the Emperor Pan Ancestor’s face was full of comfort, and he smiled slightly.
One of his arms stretched out gently, then, with a casual overturn, a golden stone the size of an egg, radiating endless golden light, appeared in his palm.
As if an invisible giant hand was holding it, the Golden Light Stone floated up and fell automatically into the hands of Longao, the Daluo Golden Immortal below.
“Innate Spiritual Treasure? And it’s a Middle Grade?”
“Thank you, Ancestor, thank you, Ancestor!”
Receiving the golden stone, Longao was initially taken aback, but after a brief sensing of the Golden Light Stone, his heart filled with elation, he performed multiple grand ceremonies toward the high platform front.
Within the world of Primordial Heaven and Earth, Innate Spiritual Treasures have long been as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, almost extinct.
After all, for a Daluo Golden Immortal to cut corpse and become a Quasi-Saint, an Innate Spiritual Treasure is indispensable.
Such innately formed treasures are entirely consumed once used.
In past times, the appearance of a Lower Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure would cause many Daluo and Quasi-Saints to fight fiercely over it.
Chen Hai possessed several Acquired Spiritual Treasures, but as for Innate ones, the only one he obtained was a broken Sixth Grade Lotus Platform from the Seductive Lady.
That Innate Spiritual Treasure was not only of inferior grade but also extensively damaged, rendering it unusable for corpse cutting; otherwise, even such a defect would have likely been exhausted already.
Now, Longao had simply just become a disciple and was immediately awarded with a Middle Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure by the Emperor Pan Ancestor.
Seeing this scene, many in the hall turned red-eyed with extreme envy and jealousy flooding their hearts.
