Master Pagoda's Terrifying Identity, Li Jianxing's Misfortune, and the Ill-Intentioned Myriad Law Immortal Sect

"I want it! I want it!"

"Master Pagoda, give me this chance."

"Daddy, give me this chance."

"Master, this servant wants to serve you for the rest of her life. Give this chance to this servant."

"..."

As soon as Master Pagoda finished speaking, countless voices rang out from within the towering divine tower.

They all pleaded, wanting Master Pagoda to give them this chance.

"Shut up! Did I allow you to speak?"

Master Pagoda's eyes turned cold as he turned and barked.

At once, every voice fell silent.

On the other side, Drunken Immortal was not excited after hearing Master Pagoda's words.

He untied the wine gourd from his waist, tipped back his head for a large gulp, wiped his mouth, and said, "What are the conditions?"

Master Pagoda pointed at Li Jianxing. "There. Be this brat's master."

Drunken Immortal looked over and examined Li Jianxing from head to toe. His brows furrowed as he said disdainfully, "He's too useless. I won't do it!"

"I'd rather be locked up for another million years than become the master of such trash. The people here speak so pleasantly, and I really like it here."

Li Jianxing's face darkened again.

Hearing this, Master Pagoda looked at him playfully. "Oh? Are you sure?"

"Of course!"

Drunken Immortal answered without hesitation.

"What if I told you that this useless brat is the little master's newly accepted lackey?" Master Pagoda revealed a meaningful smile.

"Hm?!!!"

Drunken Immortal abruptly turned his head, his eyes filled with shock. "Little master? You mean... that one?"

Master Pagoda chuckled. "Who else? In this world, there is probably only one person I would call little master."

"Gasp!!"

Drunken Immortal sucked in a sharp breath, then nodded fiercely. "Fine, I'll do it!"

Behind them, Li Jianxing had worn a confused expression from beginning to end.

But by now, no matter how foolish he was, he understood that Jun Wangyou might possess a terrifying identity beyond anything he could imagine!

Master Pagoda turned around and looked calmly at Li Jianxing. "Useless brat, cultivate properly under your master. I'll come see you again after some time. If you're still this useless, I'll slap you to death. Understand?"

"Being the master's lackey isn't so easy."

Li Jianxing nodded blankly. Did he dare not understand?

"Hehe, I hope so."

Master Pagoda smiled faintly before disappearing from before Li Jianxing.

In the boundless space, only the towering divine tower, Li Jianxing, and Drunken Immortal remained.

Li Jianxing looked fearfully at Drunken Immortal and tested the waters. "M-Master?"

"Trash! What nonsense are you spouting? Get over here already!"

Drunken Immortal roared. If not for that person's identity, he would never accept the trash before him as a disciple, even if he were beaten to death.

He was the great Drunken Immortal, who had once dominated the Upper Nine Immortal Domains for a million years. Whoever saw him had to respectfully call him the Nine Heavens Venerable!

If he had not accidentally exterminated all living beings in an entire realm back then—

He would not have been sentenced to a million years and imprisoned within this Primordial Prison Pagoda.

Li Jianxing cautiously approached Drunken Immortal.

The moment he got close, Drunken Immortal placed a hand on his shoulder.

Then—

Crackle! Pop!

"Aaaahhh!!!"

Li Jianxing's screams and Drunken Immortal's furious curses instantly echoed throughout the space.

"Trash, trash! How can you be this useless? Such garbage physique, such garbage cultivation—how do you still have the nerve to live in this world?"

"Fuck your mother! How am I supposed to teach a piece of trash like you in a way that satisfies that person?"

"I don't care what method you use, you must satisfy that person! Otherwise, I'll slap you to death!"

Jun Wangyou arrived at the Sacred Land Main Hall almost instantly.

Seeing the terrified expression of the attendant at the entrance, Jun Wangyou's gaze immediately sharpened.

The moment he entered the hall, Jun Wangyou sensed an incomparably solemn atmosphere.

Looking up, he immediately saw that a strange middle-aged man was sitting on the Holy Lord's throne that had originally belonged to True Man Qingwei.

A woman in white stood below and to the left of the middle-aged man.

Further below, True Man Qingwei stood there trembling all over, trembling from fury.

Other than those three, there was no one else in the hall.

Seeing Jun Wangyou enter, the middle-aged man on the Holy Lord's throne looked over and smiled. "Jun Wangyou, we meet again."

"Meet again?"

Jun Wangyou looked puzzled.

"The battle was very exciting." The middle-aged man added.

Jun Wangyou instantly understood. This man must have been watching the battle somewhere in Hundred Battles City.

"What do you want with me?"

Jun Wangyou glanced at True Man Qingwei and calmly asked the middle-aged man.

"First, let me introduce myself. I am Meng Changtian, an external envoy of the Myriad Law Immortal Sect."

After introducing himself, Meng Changtian introduced the woman in white beside him. "This is my junior sister, Bai Ningxin. She is also an external envoy."

"I heard that Li Jianxing met with you today. In that case, I believe you already know why we have come. What have you decided?"

Meng Changtian looked down at Jun Wangyou from on high.

"Nothing!"

Jun Wangyou's gaze turned icy as he stared directly at Meng Changtian.

This man's attitude displeased him greatly, not to mention that he had never wanted to join the Myriad Law Immortal Sect in the first place.

"Oh? It seems Li Jianxing did not tell you about the strength of my Myriad Law Immortal Sect."

Meng Changtian smiled faintly.

[Meng Changtian has developed negative favorability toward you. Current favorability: Negative Two Stars]

[Bai Ningxin has developed negative favorability toward you. Current favorability: Negative Three Stars]

[Meng Changtian: Cultivation—True Spirit Realm Peak. Identity—External Envoy of the Myriad Law Immortal Sect (specializes in traveling the outside world to seek disciples with exceptional aptitude for the Myriad Law Immortal Sect)]

[Bai Ningxin: Cultivation—Unity Realm Peak. Identity—External Envoy of the Myriad Law Immortal Sect]

Unity Realm, True Spirit Realm—what realms were those?

Jun Wangyou's heart sank.

If they were Ascension Realm cultivators, even Ascension Realm Perfection cultivators, he would not care.

But these two realms he had never even heard of made him wary of acting rashly.

"Little fellow, since Li Jianxing did not tell you how powerful my Myriad Law Immortal Sect is, let me tell you, lest you make the wrong choice."

"My Myriad Law Immortal Sect is an ancient sect in the Primordial Immortal Realm with a legacy spanning over five hundred thousand years. Our territory covers a billion li. We have over a hundred affiliated imperial dynasties, over a thousand subordinate sects, and more than a hundred million elders and disciples."

"People at my level are everywhere within the Myriad Law Immortal Sect. I am merely one of its most insignificant members."

"But even I alone could defeat every expert in your Profound Region with one hand."

"Little fellow, your talent is astonishing. Staying here will only bury your potential. Only by joining my Myriad Law Immortal Sect will you have a broader world."

"Furthermore, I investigated Holy Heaven Palace, the superior sect of your Heavenly Dao Sacred Land. I discovered that it is merely a sect protected by the Holy Spirit Sect, one of the thousand subordinate sects of my Myriad Law Immortal Sect. You should be able to imagine the gap between them."

"I believe your master, True Man Qingwei, thinks the same way."

"Brother Qingwei, what do you say?"

Meng Changtian looked at True Man Qingwei, who had remained silent all along.

True Man Qingwei ignored Meng Changtian and instead looked kindly at Jun Wangyou.

"My good disciple, follow your heart. If you are unwilling, they cannot take you away. At worst, I will pass my position as guardian envoy to you."

"Then, not to mention these two, even if elders from the Myriad Law Immortal Sect came, they would not dare do anything to you."

"Brother Qingwei, do not make the wrong choice. You may be able to protect one person, but you cannot protect your entire Sacred Land. You should understand that Jun Wangyou remaining here will only waste his talent. The Immortal Realm is where he should soar through the nine heavens."

Meng Changtian's expression changed as he sternly addressed True Man Qingwei.

True Man Qingwei fearlessly met Meng Changtian's gaze. "Of course I know. But I respect my disciple's choice even more!"

"Master..."

Jun Wangyou looked at True Man Qingwei, his heart filled with warmth. With such a master, what regrets could he have in this life?

Looking at Meng Changtian, Jun Wangyou said, "You're so arrogant and overbearing. Aren't you afraid that one day, when I grow strong enough, I'll kill you?"

Meng Changtian laughed loudly. "My duty is to find genius disciples for the Myriad Law Immortal Sect. If that day truly comes, then come kill me. I merely cherish my life—what is there to fear!"

A sharp gleam flashed through Jun Wangyou's eyes. He took a deep breath and said:

"Fine, I agree!"

"Hahaha, good! Welcome to the Myriad Law Immortal Sect!"

"Ten days from now, in Qitian City. I hope you arrive on time."

Meng Changtian smiled, then rose and walked down from the throne.

When he reached Jun Wangyou's side, Meng Changtian patted him on the shoulder and said, "Little fellow, one day you will understand that this was a wise choice."

After saying that, Meng Changtian walked out of the hall, with Bai Ningxin following closely behind.

Only after they had left the Heavenly Dao Sacred Land—

Bai Ningxin looked at her senior brother and finally asked in confusion:

"Senior Brother, we clearly had gentler methods. Why did you choose this one?"

"Are you really not afraid that the brat will come to hate you?"

Bai Ningxin was deeply puzzled.

Meng Changtian turned to look at Bai Ningxin and explained meaningfully, "Junior Sister, haven't you noticed that this brat is very different?"

"How is he different?" Bai Ningxin asked in confusion.

"He clearly possesses strength that crushes everyone of his generation, yet he has never displayed it. Even before the public, he only ends battles casually and effortlessly. He has absolutely no desire to become famous. That means he truly does not care about fame."

Meng Changtian said slowly:

"As for profit, with the talent he has displayed, he will never lack it."

"Besides that, haven't you noticed that the mountain peak where this brat came from carried the aura of many artifact spirits?"

"This brat may usually keep a low profile, but he possesses foundations beyond ordinary people's imagination."

"He does not care for fame, he does not lack profit, and he has a free-spirited nature. Do you think gentle methods would work?"

"You must understand that above his Heavenly Dao Sacred Land, there is also Holy Heaven Palace."

"Perhaps in his heart, Holy Heaven Palace holds a higher priority than we do."

"A fish that has never seen the ocean cannot imagine its vastness and unfathomable depths."

"But a genius like him will never lack those who want him. If one day he changes his mind, plenty of major forces will take him in."

"So we must apply pressure! Force him to join us."

"Once he truly witnesses the power of my Myriad Law Immortal Sect, he will understand."

"As for hatred, hehe, I'll say it again..."

"I merely cherish my life!"
