Chapter 886: Chapter 877: Departure

Li Xuanfeng’s figure disappeared outside Emperor Pan Palace, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

Sitting cross-legged on the high platform at the hall’s entrance, Emperor Pan Ancestor glanced towards the palace door. Although his expression was somewhat unsightly, he ultimately did not speak to stop him, merely watching silently as Li Xuanfeng vanished from his sight.

“Ancestor, after listening within Emperor Pan Palace for a hundred years, my aptitude is dull. On the Poison Path, I still haven’t truly entered the threshold. I’m sorry, your path may not be suitable for me.”

“Ancestor, the Poison Path is indeed wondrous beyond compare, but I have another inheritance and cannot apprentice under you. I truly regret it.”

“Listening to the Ancestor’s teachings has benefitted me greatly. I will remember this kindness in my heart. Within the Primordial world, there are matters requiring my attention. Please forgive me, Ancestor!”

Seeing Li Xuanfeng leave safely, many people quickly followed, speaking out as they paid their respects to Emperor Pan Ancestor, requesting to take their leave.

The Poison Path of Emperor Pan Ancestor, though indeed marvelously unparalleled, had not insignificant appeal to those listening within the hall, but not everyone wished to apprentice under his guidance and walk blindly into the depths of the Poison Path.

After all, Emperor Pan Ancestor himself said that only what suits oneself is the best.

The Poison Path, belonging to Emperor Pan Ancestor, may not necessarily be suitable for others. Who knows if it absolutely fits them?

After bidding farewell to Emperor Pan Ancestor on the high platform, at least dozens to a hundred people walked out of Emperor Pan Palace, disappearing into the gray mist of the endless chaos.

Seeing this, Chen Hai visibly let out a breath of relief.

The more people cultivating the Black Water True Technique in the Black Water Lineage he established, the greater the benefit to him.

The more people who apprentice under Emperor Pan Ancestor to study the Poison Path, the broader and more complete this path may become.

Achieving the Primordial Chaos Great Power Golden Immortal through the Poison Path, Emperor Pan Ancestor would naturally gain enormous benefits from it.

This time, he opened his Tao Field and lectured to the masses, recruiting disciples on a large scale. Perhaps his true purpose lay therein.

Of course, there might be other calculations involved that were not for outsiders to know.

The bustling world moves for gain; this ancient truth remains unchanged throughout time.

A Primordial Chaos Great Power like Emperor Pan Ancestor, every word and deed, every action, must have deeper meaning.

Claiming to lecture in the Emperor Pan Palace amid the Outer Heaven chaos out of pity for the world and to benefit all beings, Chen Hai found it hard to believe.

He never believed Emperor Pan Ancestor was as benevolent and selfless as he proclaimed.

Perhaps Chen Hai was overthinking it, but it is never a bad thing to be cautious.

In his view, his path must be forged by himself.

Following in others’ footsteps, continuing on a path planned by another, makes it difficult to surpass them truly, for you are just starting while they have been stationed at the path’s end.

Even the path left by the Black Water Leech Emperor, Chen Hai abandoned decisively, intent on forging a road suitable for himself. How could he then apprentice under Emperor Pan Ancestor and tread the Poison Path?

Within Emperor Pan Palace, Chen Hai’s greatest fear was Emperor Pan Ancestor forcibly making everyone apprentice under him.

With his current strength, he could draw his sword against a Quasi-Saint but had no way to resist a Primordial Chaos Great Power like Emperor Pan Ancestor and could only humbly stay silent.

Luckily, the worst outcome did not occur. This update ıs available on 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅✦𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾✦𝗇𝖾𝗍

As a Primordial Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal, Emperor Pan Ancestor still cared for his reputation. Watching Li Xuanfeng and others leave one by one, his expression flickered but did not forcibly keep them.

“Ancestor, I have previously realized my own Tao Path.”

“Although I won’t follow the Poison Path, I am continually grateful for your guidance and insights, Ancestor.”

“Unable to enter your tutelage, Ancestor, please forgive me!”

Though slightly relieved, Chen Hai dared not linger within Emperor Pan Palace.

Paying his respects to Emperor Pan Ancestor ahead, with a few polite words, he turned towards the palace doors to leave.

Beside Chen Hai sat Qingmu, hesitating in his heart whether to apprentice under Emperor Pan Ancestor.

Towards Chen Hai, he originally harbored some disdain.

After all, if not for his opportunistic betrayal, Qingmu’s Three Corpses Avatar would not have agreed to serve someone weaker than himself for a millennium.

In Qingmu’s eyes, Chen Hai nearly symbolized despicable and shameless.

To bow before someone he despised and apprentice under Emperor Pan Ancestor as his disciple—he couldn’t lower himself and lose face like that.

Becoming a direct disciple of Emperor Pan Ancestor, a Primordial Chaos Great Power, was indeed tempting for Qingmu.

But now, even a despicable man like Chen Hai could resist such temptation and leave without hesitation. Could Qingmu, a dignified Quasi-Saint Strong, not manage the same?

Clenching his teeth, he stood up after bidding farewell to Emperor Pan Ancestor ahead, and similarly walked toward the hall’s portal.

Those he valued and promised potential as direct disciples had left three in a row. Seeing such results, even the usually calm Emperor Pan Ancestor’s face darkened a bit.

But as a Primordial Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal, could he really force others to become his disciples?

He was not the legendary Ancestor Zhunti; he ultimately couldn’t resort to such disgraceful actions.

Watching Chen Hai, Qingmu, and others vanish into the chaos and gray mist outside Emperor Pan Palace, he retracted his gaze, turning once more to the remaining crowd in the hall: “Those who wish to enter my tutelage, you are welcome. If you wish to leave, feel free.”

“I only remind you of this—opportunity comes only once; may you all seize it well!”

As the words fell, his eyes had already closed slightly.

His somewhat gloomy face also returned to normal, regaining its calm.

Outside Emperor Pan Palace, within the chaos.

“As a Primordial Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal, this Emperor Pan Ancestor seems somewhat petty!”

“When arriving at Emperor Pan Palace, a golden Guiding Road appeared directly ahead. Now, upon leaving, there’s nothing. We must traverse the chaos ourselves to find the Primordial world’s location.”

“Could it be that by acting , he doesn’t want us to return to the Primordial world?”

Just stepping outside the Emperor Pan Palace’s gate, with no road ahead, only the endless chaos of gray mist before Chen Hai.

Muttering to himself, he almost cursed aloud.
