The Four Sides Heavenly Balance, including the Six Directions Meeting, had gained an increasingly clear understanding of the Heavenly Sect. Lu Buzheng and the others had long been under watch, but Master Shan was different. Who would keep an eye on a cripple? They never would have dreamed that this cripple could wield the power of an Ancestor Realm expert.
That was what made it so unexpected.
Master Shan did not refuse. He considered himself a retainer of the Lu family and was willing to accept anything the Young Master bestowed upon him.
When he sensed the Black Energy Source, his eyes reddened.
Which cultivator did not dream of breaking through to the Ancestor Realm? It was the dream of every cultivator's life. But from the moment he was imprisoned, it had become impossible—especially once he had agreed to stop Bai Wangyuan and the others at the cost of enduring the Origin Tribulation. Then it had become utterly impossible. He had never expected that he would still come to possess this power.
"Thank you for your generous gift, Young Master." Master Shan bowed deeply.
Lu Yin helped him up. "I'll have to trouble you to protect the Heavenly Sect, Master Shan."
Master Shan replied solemnly, "Rest assured, Young Master. Even if it costs me my life, I won't let the Heavenly Sect suffer any harm."
"It's not that dire. Your life always comes first," Lu Yin said with a smile.
From that day onward, the Heavenly Sect had another Extreme Expert.
Master Shan was different from those in Over Space who used Black Energy Sources. He had cultivated step by step and had been only one step away from breaking through to the Ancestor Realm. Though he had failed, his combat awareness was no inferior to an Ancestor Realm expert's.
