The Future King Zhou (cont.)

Chen Changsheng could not help but marvel inwardly. This purple aura was no ordinary thing; only emperors possessed it.

Could this kid be a future emperor of the human race?

Chen Changsheng was uncertain. He had devoted himself to cultivation for the past hundred years and knew little of outside affairs. He only knew that the mortal world was currently in the era of Great Shang.

It seemed this youth must be a member of Great Shang's imperial family.

Chen Changsheng nodded and spoke softly. "Why have you come here?"

The youth did not yet know that Chen Changsheng had seen through his identity. Seeing Chen Changsheng's unfathomable manner, he became even more certain that he had encountered an immortal.

He immediately bowed. "I came here because I wish to take an immortal as my master and learn the art of longevity!"

The youth did not hide anything and directly stated his purpose.

Chen Changsheng smiled at that. This kid was quite straightforward.

"To learn the art of longevity? And why do you wish to learn it?"

Chen Changsheng placed great importance on one's disposition, especially among members of the imperial family, who faced countless temptations and threats every day.

And a casual word from them could even decide the life or death of tens of millions. Chen Changsheng did not want his disciple to become a demon in the future.

Therefore, he did not immediately accept him merely because the system had chosen him as a disciple. There were necessary questions he would not skip.

At Chen Changsheng's question, the youth's gaze became firm. "I want to learn the art of longevity, become stronger, and protect the human race so they will no longer suffer attacks from the demon race."

Hearing the youth's answer, Chen Changsheng nodded. "You have a pure heart."

Learning skills to defend his people and their homeland sounded simple, but it was precisely the truest expression of sincerity.

If this youth had merely acted on a whim, he would never have uttered such lofty words. And that was the answer Chen Changsheng had most wanted to hear.

"I admire your spirit. Where are you from, and what is your name?"

In truth, Chen Changsheng did not need to ask too much about such matters. Once cultivation began, many human identities would be cast aside.

In this world, where a hundred years of cultivation passed in the blink of an eye, a single period of meditation might leave one's family and friends in the mortal world gone.

At that point, one's identity in the mortal world became something dispensable.

But the person before him was a member of Great Shang's imperial family. His identity was far from ordinary, and he possessed purple aura. In the future, he would surely become an emperor who ruled the mortal world.

For such an important figure tied to the fate of the mortal world, Chen Changsheng felt it was safer to understand things clearly himself.

The youth did not know Chen Changsheng's thoughts. Hearing that Chen Changsheng admired him so much, he was even more delighted.

"Immortal, I come from Chaoge. My name is Di Xin."

"Oh, from Chaoge. Very good. Wait, what did you say? You are Di Xin?"

Chen Changsheng had not thought much of an imperial family member coming from Chaoge, but he had never expected the youth before him to be Di Xin.

"That's right, I am Di Xin. Does the immortal have any questions?"

Di Xin looked at Chen Changsheng with a puzzled expression. Though he was a member of the imperial family, he was not well known. Moreover, he had left Chaoge many years ago. He did not believe that someone living in seclusion in the mountains would know him.

"It is nothing, nothing. I merely thought of something."

Chen Changsheng shook his head. Even if he were beaten to death, he would never have imagined that his second disciple would be the legendary King Zhou, Di Xin.

In the accounts of the Investiture of the Gods, the great powers had calculated everything without error. The King of Zhou attacked King Zhou, the disciples of the Interception Sect all perished, Sect Master Tongtian was taken away by Old Ancestor Hongjun, and Primordial Lord of Heaven sent his disciple Jiang Ziya to confer gods at the Platform of Investiture of the Gods.

And Di Xin was also a pitiful figure in this Investiture of the Gods tribulation. Because of the events surrounding the Investiture of the Gods, he had caused a dynasty to perish by his own hand.

Good grief, his eldest disciple was the general who would attack King Zhou in the Investiture of the Gods tribulation, while his second disciple was the very person his eldest disciple would subdue. What kind of situation was this?

Chen Changsheng was speechless. Looking at the still somewhat childish Di Xin before him, his heart was filled with emotion.

Chen Changsheng sighed. "Perhaps this is fate. Very well, you are destined for Changsheng Palace today. From now on, you are the second disciple of my Changsheng Sect!"

Di Xin's face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly bowed. Then he froze. "Second disciple? Master, could it be that there is someone above me?"

Chen Changsheng glanced at Di Xin. As a future emperor, he indeed possessed a certain pride and was unwilling to be beneath others.

But there was no helping it. Yang Jian was the eldest disciple assigned to him by the system.

Thinking of this, he nodded lightly. "That is correct. Above you is a Senior Disciple Brother named Yang Jian. He is currently in secluded cultivation and will soon undergo tribulation to become an immortal."

Yang Jian was already at the Dao Integration realm. Given his talent, undergoing tribulation was only a matter of time, so Chen Changsheng was not wrong to say it would happen soon.

Undergo tribulation to become an immortal!

Hearing this, Di Xin's eyes filled with envy. This was exactly what he most wished to accomplish, yet his Senior Disciple Brother was already close to achieving it.

"No, I must cultivate diligently and strive to undergo tribulation to become an immortal as soon as possible!"

Di Xin made up his mind, and the system's voice appeared in Chen Changsheng's mind.

**Ding!**

Congratulations to the host for successfully accepting a disciple!

Reward obtained: Treasure Pavilion. Cultivation raised to Golden Immortal!

He had directly become a Golden Immortal!

Chen Changsheng could not help but cry out inwardly. Just moments ago, he had only been at Mystic Immortal Perfection, yet now he had directly crossed True Immortal and become a Golden Immortal. This rate of improvement was simply too fast!
