Emperor Yan Takes a Disciple? Like Hell I'll Bow

Hearing the words of the Dragon Walk Lord, Emperor Yan became even more displeased. If Gulanxiu's appearance only made him unhappy, then he felt pure disgust for Yunmiao!

Because Yunmiao was Soul Lineage cultivated by his teacher, Sitting Mountain Guest. However, Yunmiao was born a little late. By the time she showed her talent, Puti had already selected a candidate and handed over the Nine Tribulations Secret Code to him.

As a result, Yunmiao lost the opportunity to acknowledge the Star Tower as her master and would not become his third junior sister. However, Emperor Yan still had an instinctive aversion to the Cultivator of the Mountain Sea Realm.

He even secretly arranged for his Soul Slave to accidentally shatter the Mountain Sea Realm while fighting the Demon Race race. After all, the Mountain Sea Realm was currently located in the core star field of the war between humans and demons, so shattering a planet here was perfectly normal and wouldn't attract anyone's attention.

At this moment, when the Dragon Walk Lord mentioned Yunmiao, Emperor Yan actually had a slight idea to properly teach Gulanxiu and make him surpass Yunmiao.

Emperor Yan sneered, "Don't worry, Dragon Walk! My disciple will definitely break through to the Venerable before yours!"

Seeing that Emperor Yan's tone was not good, the Chaos City Lord quickly changed the subject, saying, "Emperor Yan, have you created your Strongest Secret Technique yet? With your talent, you should be close!"

Hearing the Chaos City Lord mention this, Emperor Yan's mood worsened. He had always believed himself to be a chosen one of heaven, having broken through his limits and turned danger into safety every time he faced perilous situations during his trials before Immortal!

When Realm Lord, his Gene were a hundred times stronger than those of ordinary life forms. He was taken in as a disciple by the Human Race Universe Lord. After breaking through to Immortal, he had many fortuitous encounters and quickly became King-level Invincible. He was also favored by a powerful Alien Race being and given Supreme Treasure. With the help of this Supreme Treasure, he was able to defeat Venerable even in the Immortal stage.

Not long after, he broke through to the Universe Venerable, and immediately became Universe Overlord. He was able to break through his limits and turn danger into safety time and time again when faced with assassination attempts by Alien Race.

He then became Top-tier Universe Overlord and escaped unscathed from facing the Lord of the Universe.

Becoming the master of the universe seemed to come naturally to him; it was not difficult for him at all.

However, after breaking through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, his good fortune came to an abrupt end. Although the Universe Master Ultimate Secret Art was not difficult for him, the Universe Master Strongest Secret Art was like a falling star, leaving him completely clueless. All of this was inconsistent with his own expectations and those of others.

In his mind, he should have made rapid progress, and the Universe Master Strongest Secret Art or the Universe Master's Strongest Fusion Secret Method would not be a problem for him. He would then soar to the top and become the strongest in the universe, on par with his Alien Race teacher. However, he did not expect that a mere Universe Master Strongest Secret Art would hold him back.

But now that the Chaos City Lord had asked a question, Emperor Yan naturally wouldn't lose face, so he vaguely replied, "It's almost done! I'll just refine it a bit more!"

The Chaos City Lord nodded and said, "With your Supreme Treasure and Divine Body, once you create the Universe Master Strongest Secret Art, you will reach the peak of the fourth tier. At that time, apart from those strongest beings in the Universe Sea universe, basically no one in the Universe Sea can threaten you, and you can go and explore the Universe Sea! You can contact me when you want to go to the Universe Sea! I will guide you on your first trip!"

Emperor Yan clearly didn't want to discuss this topic further, so he nodded and said, "We'll talk about it later!" Without even saying goodbye to the Chaos City Lord and the Dragon Walk Lord, he directly left the Virtual Universe!

The Dragon Walk Lord sighed as he watched the Emperor Yan's figure disappear, saying, "He really is arrogant beyond measure!"

The Chaos City Lord calmly remarked, "Geniuses always have some personality traits. As long as there are no fundamental problems, a little arrogance is fine! His cultivation speed is second only to his teacher and the Great Axe; who knows, he might become the third strongest being in the universe for our Human Race in the future!"

The Dragon Walk Lord nodded and said, "Let's hope so! The Beast God Race is currently very powerful. Although our Human Race has allied with the Insect Race Mechanical Race, it's only a temporary measure. After all, Alien Race are Alien Race. If Emperor Yan can truly become the strongest in the universe, the pressure on our Human Race will be somewhat reduced!"

The Chaos City Lord nodded, and the two chatted for a while before logging off.

From beginning to end, none of the three considered the possibility that Gulanxiu would refuse. After all, in their view, being able to become the master of the universe was an immense opportunity, and Gulanxiu had no reason to refuse...

In a star field infinitely far from Human Race, a nine-story Precious Pagoda, about nine light-years tall, stands in the void. Endless cosmic energy surges into the pagoda, forming nine layers of nebulae outside.

This Precious Pagoda is the most mysterious Supreme Treasure in the Original Universe — the Star Tower!

Countless powerful individuals have come here over the years, hoping to claim ownership of the Star Tower, but all have returned empty-handed!

Over time, fewer and fewer super-strong individuals came here. However, because Heavy Treasure that Sealing Star occasionally appear inside the tower, there are still countless Marquis-level Immortal and Universe Venerable adventuring and fighting inside!

At this moment, in a Core Region within the Star Tower, a towering Snake Human Race, tens of thousands of miles tall, looked helplessly at the lifeless young human before him and sighed, saying, "2600 years... I thought this exceptional Inheritors had failed after only 2600 years! Is it really that difficult for the Star Tower to recognize a master?"

Beside this snake-man figure stood an equally imposing but slightly ethereal figure, the Divine Power Avatar of Emperor Yan.

Ever since the Realm Lord of the Mountain Sea Realm began to recognize a master, Emperor Yan had separated a Divine Power Avatar to monitor the Inheritors process. Now that he had failed to recognize a master, Emperor Yan face in front of Puti.

Emperor Yan, barely suppressing a laugh, comforted him, saying, "Senior Brother! Don't worry! Over countless years, some peerless geniuses will always emerge!"

Puti said regretfully, "I should have waited longer. Dragon Walk's little disciple seems quite good, but the Heaven Soul Crystal's energy hasn't recovered yet. It will take at least hundreds of millions of years to pass it on again. By then, Dragon Walk's little disciple might have already broken through to the Venerable. We'll have missed this opportunity. And the Mountain and Mountain Sea Realm is shattered. Who knows how long it will take to reassemble it?"

At this moment, Emperor Yan couldn't help but smile slightly, so he quickly said, "Senior Brother, don't be in such a hurry!"

"It's no use if we're anxious when the teacher isn't in a hurry. If you ask me, it's because the teacher's standards for accepting disciples are too high. How could Realm Lord possibly achieve Supreme Treasure? I've had some more inspiration and need to go into seclusion quickly, so I'll be leaving now!"

Without waiting for Puti to speak, he dissipated his Divine Power Avatar disappeared into the Star Tower.

Once his consciousness returned to his palace, Emperor Yan could no longer contain himself and suddenly burst into laughter.

In his view, this generation of Inheritors failed, the Heaven Soul Crystal energy has not yet recovered, and the Mountain Sea Realm is also shattered. It will take countless years for the next Inheritors to appear. These years are enough for him to become stronger and obtain armor better than the Rob Armor.

Moreover, it wouldn't matter if he still needed the Rob Armor at that time. As long as he could find a way to shatter the newly formed planet, he could continue to use the Rob Armor for countless years.

"I'd better think of a way to make sure my third junior brother never shows up again. Puti is just a servant by birth, and his strength is far inferior to mine. As long as I can get that old man to give up the Soul Lineage, he will give me all his resources, and then I can become even stronger." Emperor Yan muttered to himself, stroking his chin.

As a disciple of the Sitting Mountain Guest, he understood the Sitting Mountain Guest's mystery and power better than anyone else. The Sitting Mountain Guest could easily forge the Supreme Treasure countless powerful people outside would break their heads for. Therefore, he very much hoped that the Sitting Mountain Guest could help him with all his might.

"If my disciple is stronger than the geniuses of the Soul Lineage, does that prove that the Soul Lineage is nothing special, and that the old man will abandon the Soul Lineage?" Emperor Yan's eyes lit up as if he had just remembered something.

"I definitely can't find a disciple from the Yan God Race, otherwise if he becomes too powerful, he'll threaten my position. In that case, Gulanxiu is the best choice. Gulanxiu has strong willpower and cultivation. As long as he can keep Yunmiao under control, he can prove to the old man that the potential of the Soul Lineage he painstakingly cultivated is just so-so, not even as good as the peerless geniuses of the Human Race. That might make the old man give up!"

Emperor Yan became more and more excited as he spoke, and he really wanted to give himself a thumbs up for his brilliant idea!

"That's a good deal for that brat named Gulanxiu. I'll teach you a lesson for that!" With that, Emperor Yan sent an email to Gulanxiu through the Virtual Universe, asking him to come to his Gulanxiu in the Virtual Universe.

At this moment, in the mansion of the Barbarian Hammer King in Chaos City, Gulanxiu stared speechlessly at the emails in the Virtual Universe, his expression as if he had just eaten an Oli Gee.

He was initially pleasantly surprised to have passed through the thirteen levels of the Sky Bridge and was quite satisfied with his performance. However, not long after his consciousness left the Virtual Universe, he received an email from Emperor Yan.

Although Emperor Yan only asked him to go once, Gulanxiu thought Emperor Yan was someone he would avoid at all costs. At this time, if Emperor Yan wanted to see him, it was either because he wanted to find out the secrets about him, or because he wanted to take him as his disciple.

However, he could not agree to either of these things, so he was definitely going to offend Emperor Yan. Although it was unlikely that Emperor Yan would disregard his status and rush into Chaos City to crush him, a mere little Karami, just the thought of Emperor Yan was enough to make his weak arms and legs suffer!

At this moment, Gulanxiu understood that the super being who had paid attention to him, as mentioned by the Barbarian Hammer King, was most likely the Emperor Yan. After all, the Emperor Yan was also the universe master of the Axe Fighting Arena. Generally speaking, according to the unspoken rules of the Human Race, these super beings rarely take on disciples from other factions.

Knowing this is one thing, but Gulanxiu still has to go to the Emperor Yan's residence. After all, if he doesn't go, he could be accused of disrespecting a powerful figure and be in deep trouble!

Thinking of this, Gulanxiu gritted his teeth, gave himself a pep talk, and then entered the Virtual Universe, using the permissions granted by Emperor Yan in his email to teleport himself to the Emperor Yan's Palace.

In the Virtual Universe, the Emperor Yan's Palace is called the Yan God Hall. As soon as Gulanxiu teleported there, a Yan God Race clansman, eight meters tall, greeted him, saying, "You must be Your Highness Gulanxiu Gulanxiu! His Emperor Yan has been waiting for you for a long time! Please follow me!"

Gulanxiu nodded and followed the Yan God Race member to the main hall of the Yan God Hall.

The main hall was exceptionally tall, reaching a height of 90,000 li. Gulanxiu, who was two meters tall, appeared particularly small in comparison.

In the center of the hall was a Dark Gold Throne stretched for tens of thousands of miles. Seated on the throne was a humanoid creature that was tens of thousands of miles tall, covered in gray- Black Scale Armor, and had a single horn on its head.

Gulanxiu cursed inwardly for being pretentious; creating such a large body in the Virtual Universe was clearly intentional.

But he didn't hesitate to speak, quickly bowing and saying, "Junior Gulanxiu greets the great Emperor Yan!"

The seated Emperor Yan suddenly raised his head and looked at Gulanxiu. After about two or three seconds, he slowly spoke, "Gulanxiu! I have been observing you for almost two thousand years. Your talent is not bad, barely meeting my requirements. Therefore, I want to take you as my disciple. What are your thoughts?"

Hearing Emperor Yan ask the question, Gulanxiu thought to himself, "Just as I expected!" Although he had anticipated this, hearing Gulanxiu Emperor Yan actually say it now shattered the last shred of hope in his heart.

If it were any other universe lord who said these words, Gulanxiu would have bowed down without hesitation. Even if it wasn't a universe lord but a Universe Overlord, Gulanxiu wouldn't have hesitated too much. After all, refusing a powerful person to their face would be a loss of face for them, and it's easy to make enemies if you encounter someone petty.

In the original story, Luo Feng pretended to be in seclusion to avoid embarrassing those Venerable, and the matter was only considered closed when he received an email from the Chaos City Lord.

But Gulanxiu had no way to hide. After all, it was common knowledge among the Human Race's high-ranking officials that the Emperor Yan had feelings for him, and as the ruler of the universe Emperor Yan naturally wouldn't have anyone competing with him.

It's impossible for Gulanxiu to become an apprentice. Having thoroughly read the original work, he knows that Emperor Yan will betray the Human Race in the future. If he becomes Emperor Yan's apprentice, he will be stuck in a rut. Staying with the Human Race would be betraying his sect, and following Emperor Yan would be betraying his race. Either way, he would be like Pigsy looking in the mirror, neither being human nor not being human.

It's important to know that in the world of Swallowing Starry Sky, sometimes the master-disciple relationship is more significant than the father-son relationship.

Thinking this, Gulanxiu quickly bowed to Emperor Yan again and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, Your Emperor Yan!"

Gulanxiu is deeply grateful! However, in my hometown, a person can only have one teacher. Now that I have already taken the Barbarian Hammer King as my teacher, I cannot take you Emperor Yan, as my teacher! I have failed to live up to your expectations, Emperor Yan Emperor Yan, and I beg your forgiveness!

"What did you say?" Emperor Yan stared at Gulanxiu in disbelief. He had never imagined that a mere Domain Lord would refuse him! How could he? How dare he?

Although the apprenticeship system is theoretically a two-way selection process—the teacher can choose the student, and the student can choose the teacher—the Lord of the Universe has spoken, so how could a mere Domain Lord- level nobody possibly refuse?

At this moment, Gulanxiu stood upright and said to Emperor Yan without arrogance or servility, "In my hometown, there is a saying: 'A teacher for a day is a father for life.' One teacher is enough for a person's life, and I cannot take another as my teacher. I hope Emperor Yan will understand!"

At this moment, Emperor Yan also reacted, and his aura surged. Even in this Virtual Universe, Gulanxiu could feel an overwhelming will pressing down on him.

Emperor Yan said in a cold voice, "Very well! You have guts! You actually dared to refuse me! Gulanxiu!"

Do you know what you're doing?

Under the imposing aura of the Emperor Yan, Gulanxiu gritted his teeth and nodded, saying, "I'm sorry, Emperor Yan Majesty, but Gulanxiu truly cannot become your disciple!"

Emperor Yan suddenly sneered, his aura abruptly receding as he addressed Gulanxiu, "You don't think much of me, do you? You don't want to become my disciple, and you're thinking of becoming a disciple of another universe lord? Is it that old bastard Nine Universe? It's not surprising that you've been to Dragon Tower Star and met that old guy!"

Gulanxiu shook his head respectfully and said, "Your Emperor Yan, it is indeed the custom of my hometown that I cannot become your disciple! I am very sorry about that! But I still have great respect for Your Emperor Yan."

That's what Gulanxiu said, but of course, only Gulanxiu himself knows what he really thought.

Emperor Yan coldly looked at Gulanxiu and said, "Hmph! Get lost!"

As he spoke, an irresistible force kicked Gulanxiu's consciousness out of the Virtual Universe.
