An ancient Buddha who had lived for who knew how many epochs, a Great Divine Ability User with perfect Creation—wanted to take him as a disciple?
In the past, Tan Ping would have been so excited he lost all sense of direction, bursting into tears of joy and dropping to his knees to kowtow and accept. Even with his lofty pride and the extraordinary signs that had accompanied his birth, the most he had ever dared to imagine was entering a sect or cave abode guarded by an Immortal Venerable, and being taken in by someone of the Immortal Class. He had never even dared dream that a Great Creation Divine Power User might take an interest in him, much less a perfected being like Worldly Freedom King Buddha, one of the few beneath the Other Shore!
But at that very moment, the first thought that came to his mind was:
I have a connection with an Other Shore Great Figure, and the current Yuanshi Heavenly Venerable lent me the Huang Liang Pillow. Perhaps someday I could even join the Jade Void Palace and become a prominent figure like "Bright Cloud Fairy" Fang Huayin. Why would I become a disciple of a Great Creation Divine Power User?
Only by comparison could one see the difference. Those who had perfected Creation were said to be the strongest beneath the Other Shore. They were eternal, with the epoch within their grasp, terrifying beings capable of destroying an entire universe. But they were still only "beneath the Other Shore," separated from the true great figures by a gulf wider than heaven and earth. With Yuanshi Heavenly Venerable Su Meng's favor, who would care about a "mere" Worldly Freedom King Buddha?
This wasn't contempt. It was the truth!
Without the slightest hesitation, Tan Ping
