At that moment, Primordial Heavenly Lord showed just how much he valued lineage and origins, how unfairly he treated his disciples, and how shamelessly he played favorites.
If favored disciples like Guangchengzi had spoken up, their master, Primordial Heavenly Lord, would not only have refrained from scolding them; he would have done everything he could to secure the position for them.
Looking at his master's expressionless face, Yellow Dragon True Person was filled with disappointment. He knew he held little standing in the Chan Sect, but he had never imagined it was so low.
Since joining the Chan Sect and becoming Primordial Heavenly Lord's Direct Disciple, Yellow Dragon had received nothing from his master beyond the Jade Purity Immortal Law. Now, with his heart stirred by a premonition, he knew this might be his greatest opportunity.
So even though he knew that asking for the position without permission would displease his master and earn him a public scolding, Yellow Dragon True Person did not want to give up so easily.
After all, although he was nominally a disciple of a Great Sect, he was deeply disliked—even despised—by his master, Primordial Heavenly Lord. If he did not fight for himself, he might never receive an opportunity in his entire life.
"Master, please calm your anger. This disciple does not mean to be disrespectful. My primordial spirit sensed that the position overseeing the aquatic clans in the Heavenly Court is connected to me. Under the Heavenly Mandate, I am meant to receive it. That is why I acted so presumptuously. I ask you to see things clearly and forgive me!"
Yellow Dragon bowed respectfully and pleaded.
He sought this exalted position in the Heavenly Court not only for his own Dao Path, but also for his long-declined Dragon Clan.
