The master and disciple had barely landed when a patrol of human guards immediately surrounded them with weapons in hand. Tai Cang frowned slightly and flicked his sleeve, knocking all their weapons to the ground.
"Shi Hao, come out and see me," Tai Cang called loudly toward Martial God Hall.
Shi Hao, who had been cultivating inside the hall, jolted awake. That voice... it's Master!
He hurriedly rose and rushed out of the secluded chamber. When he saw Tai Cang outside the hall, he immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully. "Shi Hao pays respects to Master!"
"What? Master?"
The surrounding guards were greatly shocked. They all fell to their knees. "Greetings, Immortal Tai Cang!"
Tai Cang raised a hand and used his magic power to lift them up. He then praised Shi Hao, "Not bad. You reached the Golden Immortal realm in only a few hundred years. You have not disappointed me."
Indeed, even Tai Cang, who had possessed the system back then, had spent several hundred years reaching such a realm. Yet Shi Hao had achieved this through his own talent alone and had perfectly awakened his Supreme Bone. It was truly rare and admirable.
"It is all thanks to Master's excellent guidance." Shi Hao scratched his head with a simple smile. "Without the cultivation insights Master left behind, I could never have broken through so quickly."
As he spoke, he looked nervously at Tai Cang. "Master, now that you have returned, will you be traveling far again?"
Though they were master and disciple, they had spent very little time together. Shi Hao yearned for more guidance and hoped even more that his master would remain with the human race, leading them to expand their territory.
"I will not be leaving anytime soon," Tai Cang replied calmly.
