Ziwei's Choice
Seeing that Cihang really didn't care, Ziwei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter how much scheming and cunning he has, it can't compare to true strength.
If Cihang wanted, she could replace him at any time and become Ziwei completely.
But clearly, Cihang did not do that.
This really makes his behavior seem petty.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Cihang!"
Ziwei rose and solemnly bowed in gratitude, thanking Cihang for helping her reincarnate and for not holding her scheming against him.
"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be so polite. This is a fair transaction."
These are things that Cihang should do.
Now that you have successfully reincarnated and attained the position of the Great Emperor Ziwei, the Karma between us is now settled!
Cihang waved and helped Ziwei up.
He did not ask Ziwei about her next plans.
Even their plans regarding the Starry Sky lineage have been completely abandoned.
Although there were some losses, they did not affect the overall situation.
"The previous transactions were merely to guarantee my reincarnation."
Ziwei was self-aware; if it weren't for the help of Fellow Daoist Cihang, Ziwei would not have had such an extraordinary background, let alone obtained the divine position of the Great Emperor Ziwei.
All of this was due to your scheme, fellow Daoist.
The Star Demon God are a thing of the past; now, only Ziwei remains in the Primordial World.
Our achievements today are entirely due to the planning and assistance of the Cihang Lord Cihang.
Ziwei wishes to become the disciple of the God, and hopes that the God will grant her wish!
Ziwei not only changed her form of address, but also knelt respectfully on the ground, looking at Cihang with a pleading expression.
"Will you truly be willing to become my disciple, fellow Daoist?"
Although I don't know your past strength, it was at least that of Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.
"But I, Cihang, am merely Primordial Origin Golden Immortal; I have not yet embarked on the Primordial Chaos Path!"
Cihang was somewhat taken aback, so much so that he was unable to stop Ziwei in time.
"All that is about Star Demon God is now in the past; I am now merely the Primordial World Ziwei."
Ziwei had witnessed both the God's strength and potential.
Ziwei's desire to become the master of the deity was genuine.
We humbly request Your Majesty's permission!
Ziwei did not get up, and her tone became even more sincere and earnest.
Ziwei's decision to become Cihang's disciple was not made on a whim, but after careful consideration.
As he said, the Star Demon God are long gone.
Although some memories have been passed down, all past memories and insights have vanished.
Now he is a completely new Primordial World being, thoroughly marked by the Primordial World.
His aptitude in this life was indeed quite good, but there were quite a few cultivators who were no weaker than him.
The main reason he was able to reach his current level of cultivation so quickly is because he has intricate connections with Mount Luojia.
Once he loses the protection of Mount Luojia, he will also lose a great help.
He did achieve the status of the Great Emperor Ziwei, but even Haotian was almost reduced to a puppet, let alone him, the Great Emperor Ziwei.
Once he loses Cihang's support, it will be difficult for him to stand out among the many cultivators.
It may even be subject to numerous restrictions.
For him, becoming Cihang's disciple was the best choice.
Of course, besides these benefits, he also genuinely admired Cihang's cultivation and character.
Although Cihang is not the strongest being in the Primordial World, he has the greatest potential.
"Are you really sure? Once you become my disciple, there will be no turning back!"
With Cihang's wisdom, it was not difficult for her to see Ziwei's thoughts.
Weighing the pros and cons is an instinct of all living beings, Cihang does not reject it.
However, once they become master and disciple, their fates will be intertwined.
In the Primordial World, this was almost the closest relationship.
"It is Ziwei's honor to be able to become a disciple of the Divine Lord."
Ziwei naturally wouldn't regret it, and Ziwei also believed that the God wouldn't give Ziwei a chance to regret it!
Ziwei's will did not change despite Cihang's inquiry; it remained unwavering.
"Very well, since that's the case, from this day forward, you Ziwei, are a true disciple of my Cihang Sect!"
Cihang did not continue to refuse; Ziwei was an exceptionally talented disciple in every respect.
Accepting Ziwei will only benefit Cihang, not harm him.
The previous tribulation of Dao Transformation had completely washed away the divine and demonic aura and imprint on Ziwei's body.
Even the original obsession and resentment vanished without a trace.
Now he is a true Primordial World being, with no hidden dangers.
Ziwei was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately kowtowed to Cihang, performing the formal ceremony of becoming his disciple.
"Ziwei greets Master!"
Their fortunes also changed, instantly merging into one.
At the same time, the disciples of the Mount Luojia lineage also knew that Cihang had gained another true disciple.
"Alright, no need for formalities. You have now officially joined Mount Luojia."
After the change of status, Cihang became even more affectionate towards Ziwei.
"Thank you, Master!"
Ziwei is quite satisfied with her current status.
"Because of that previous fragment of your soul, you have already received all the true teachings of Mount Luojia, so I have nothing more to pass on to you."
The road ahead is one you must walk yourself.
Now that you have become the Great Emperor Ziwei, it is time for you to go to the Heavenly Court to perfect the Star Law bodies.
I won't keep you any longer. If you have the opportunity to pay homage to me in the future, you will have your own destiny!
Cihang did not bestow any more protective spiritual treasures upon Ziwei.
"Thank you for your guidance, Master. Ziwei will take her leave now!"
Ziwei also knew that it was not appropriate for him to stay in the Primordial World for long; he should go and consolidate the power and fortune of the Star Lineage.
As for spiritual treasures, Ziwei didn't care. The intangible benefits she gained from becoming Cihang's disciple far outweighed those of top-tier spiritual treasures.
"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on taking on such a fine disciple! With this, the lineage of Mount Luojia is growing ever stronger!"
As soon as Ziwei left, Yuanfeng stepped into the main hall.
She had already arrived at Mount Luojia when the battlefield of the Investiture of the Gods was shattered.
I only refrained from disturbing Cihang because she was busy with other matters.
"Now that our destinies are intertwined, the power of Mount Luojia naturally includes the Phoenix Clan as well."
"We are so grateful for your timely intervention, fellow Daoist; otherwise, our Mount Luojia lineage would have suffered heavy losses!"
Cihang smiled and gestured for Yuanfeng to take a seat.
"Fellow Daoist has already said that Qi and destiny are one, so there's no need for thanks!"
Yuanfeng smiled, but then her expression turned serious again.
"The Chan Sect's plan failed this time, but they probably won't give up easily."
When they strike again, they'll likely be much more prepared, so we must be on guard!
Yuanfeng held a hint of worry.
"They certainly won't let this go."
However, my Mount Luojia lineage is not afraid of any challenge.
I've already deduced many formations; now it's time to set them up!
Cihang never underestimates its opponents.
Since Yuanshi doesn't want to follow the rules, let's have a direct confrontation.
Some things are ultimately unavoidable, and we shouldn't be too idealistic.
"It's good that you're prepared, fellow Daoist. I'll go and make the arrangements now."
The Phoenix Clan has been in hiding for far too long; they've probably forgotten the fighting prowess of my Phoenix Clan."
Seeing Cihang's preparations, Yuanfeng also flashed with a powerful fighting spirit.
