But Chen Changsheng before him was an unfamiliar face. Naturally, he had to get to the bottom of it.
Chen Changsheng chuckled softly. "I am Chen Changsheng, master of Changsheng Palace. My eldest disciple was undergoing his tribulation here just now, which caused such a disturbance. I appreciate your concern, True Lord."
Chen Changsheng seized the initiative by declaring that Yang Jian was his disciple. He wanted to see whether True Lord Jade Cauldron could bring himself to make such a shameless move.
Sure enough, True Lord Jade Cauldron's expression darkened upon hearing this.
He had come here to find his disciple, and according to his deductions, it was the person who had just undergone the tribulation.
But Chen Changsheng had now claimed that the one undergoing the tribulation was his disciple. If he spoke up again, he would undoubtedly be put at a disadvantage.
Still, he was worthy of being True Lord Jade Cauldron. With a turn of his eyes, he quickly came up with a plan.
This place was truly shabby, and its sect master was only a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. How could my disciple possibly be content with such circumstances?
If I make him a promise as well, my disciple will surely be tempted. When the time comes, if he chooses to leave with me of his own accord, no one can blame me.
With that thought, True Lord Jade Cauldron smiled. "So he is your disciple, Fellow Daoist. I saw that the heavenly tribulation was extraordinary just now, and I assumed your disciple must be exceptionally talented. I would like to meet him. Might Fellow Daoist permit it?"
Chen Changsheng's expression shifted. What an old fox. Did he really think I could not see through his intentions?
Still, he did not refuse. He merely nodded, then sent a voice transmission to Yang Jian with a thought.
Upon receiving Chen Changsheng's command, Yang Jian immediately stepped out. The moment True Lord Jade Cauldron saw him, his eyes nearly went wide.
Is this my disciple? He actually possesses such immense destiny. If properly taught, his future achievements will surely be limitless. No, I must take him as my disciple.
"Disciple, this is True Lord Jade Cauldron. Hurry and pay your respects!"
Chen Changsheng spoke softly. Yang Jian did not dare ask questions and immediately bowed. "This junior is Yang Jian. Greetings, True Lord!"
True Lord Jade Cauldron nodded. "Not bad. You truly are a genius. Yang Jian, I am one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect. Are you willing to take me as your master and cultivate under me?"
This old bastard really had no shame!
Chen Changsheng's expression changed, and his gaze toward True Lord Jade Cauldron turned cold. Asking his disciple whether he wished to take another master right in front of him—this was a complete disregard for him.
Yang Jian was stunned as well. He had no idea what was going on.
"If you follow me, with your talent, you will certainly receive the Chan Sect's resources and enjoy boundless prospects. You should know that the Chan Sect is a Saint's sect. You should think this through carefully."
Seeing Yang Jian hesitate, True Lord Jade Cauldron continued to tempt him, completely ignoring Chen Changsheng.
Suppressing Jade Cauldron, Such a Terrifying Master
Shameless beyond measure!
Chen Changsheng snorted coldly. True Lord Jade Cauldron truly did not regard him as worthy of notice.
"Fellow Daoist, are you not going too far?"
If he could watch someone poach his disciple without reacting, then there would be no point in him being a master at all.
Yang Jian's exceptional talent aside, even if Yang Jian had been an ordinary person, he was still a disciple designated by the system. With the system's help, he would surely bring Chen Changsheng great benefits in the future.
Moreover, after spending this time together, Chen Changsheng had developed some affection for him. No matter what, he could never hand Yang Jian over just because of True Lord Jade Cauldron.
"Is there any place here for you to speak? A mere Grand Unity Golden Immortal dares act so presumptuously?"
True Lord Jade Cauldron looked coldly at Chen Changsheng. If he wanted to take Yang Jian as his disciple, displaying his strength was also necessary.
Suppressing Chen Changsheng now would also thoroughly shatter Yang Jian's mental defenses.
As True Lord Jade Cauldron spoke, the aura of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal erupted, bearing down upon Chen Changsheng and Yang Jian.
What a powerful aura. This man's strength was terrifying!
Chen Changsheng had used the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Trial Card for Yang Jian's sake before, so Yang Jian had some understanding of the aura of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
But Chen Changsheng had not been familiar with using that power at the time, nor had it been directed at him. Thus, Yang Jian's feeling now was far more intense.
True Lord Jade Cauldron looked at Chen Changsheng with ill intent. He had only come for Yang Jian today. If this man wisely handed Yang Jian over, they could both remain at peace.
But this man had foolishly sought death. Even though he was a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, True Lord Jade Cauldron was confident he could suppress him with ease.
Chen Changsheng's face darkened. Even a clay figurine had some temper, much less him.
If he backed down today, he would never be able to hold his head up before his disciples again.
"Courting death!"
Chen Changsheng shouted. If he did not act, so be it—but once he did, he would make the other party understand the consequences.
Without the slightest hesitation, he directly used the Quasi-Saint Trial Card. Instantly, a tyrannical aura shot into the heavens.
The pressure on Yang Jian immediately vanished. Though Chen Changsheng's appearance had not changed, in Yang Jian's eyes, Chen Changsheng now seemed capable of shaking heaven and earth.
"How is this possible? You are a Quasi-Saint! Who exactly are you?"
True Lord Jade Cauldron's expression changed at once. Chen Changsheng had only displayed the aura of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal before, which was why he had dared to attack directly.
But he had never expected Chen Changsheng's aura to surge so dramatically, reaching the Quasi-Saint realm in an instant.
At this moment, he no longer dared think of anything else. The instant Chen Changsheng's aura erupted, he was crushed to the ground, unable to move.
"Master is amazing!"
Di Xin had also arrived at the entrance during the clash of their auras and happened to witness Chen Changsheng displaying his might.
