"I want it! I want it!"

"Master Pagoda, give me this chance."

"Dad, give me this chance."

"Master, this servant wishes to serve you for a lifetime, please give this chance to this servant."

"..."

As soon as Master Pagoda's voice fell, countless voices echoed from within the Sky-Piercing Divine Pagoda.

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

"Silence! Did I permit you to speak?"

Master Pagoda's eyes were cold, and he turned to shout at them.

Instantly, all voices disappeared.

On the other side, Drunken Immortal didn't seem excited after hearing Master Pagoda's words.

He untied the wine gourd at his waist, tilted his head back, and took a big gulp. Wiping his mouth, he asked, "What are the conditions?"

Master Pagoda pointed at Li Jianxing. "Here, be this brat's master."

Drunken Immortal looked over, sizing up Li Jianxing from head to toe. He frowned and said disdainfully, "Too much of a waste, I won't do it!"

"To be a master to such a waste, I'd rather be imprisoned for a million years. Everyone here speaks so nicely; I really like it here."

Li Jianxing's face darkened again.

Hearing this, Master Pagoda's eyes gleamed playfully. "Oh, are you sure?"

"Of course!"

Drunken Immortal replied without thinking.

"Then what if I told you this waste of a kid is a new subordinate the young master just took in?" Master Pagoda revealed a meaningful smile.

"Huh?!!!"

Drunken Immortal suddenly turned his head, his eyes filled with shock. "Young master? Are you referring to... him?"

Master Pagoda chuckled. "Otherwise? In this world, there's probably only one person I would call young master."

"Hiss!!"

Drunken Immortal gasped, then nodded vigorously. "Alright, I'll do it!"

Behind them, Li Jianxing had been completely bewildered the entire time.

But by now, even if he were foolish, he would understand that Jun Wangyou might possess a terrifying identity beyond his imagination!

Master Pagoda turned around and looked at Li Jianxing calmly. "Waste, follow your master and cultivate well. I'll come back to see you in a while. If you're still such a waste, I'll slap you to death. Understand?"

"Being the master's subordinate isn't that easy."

Li Jianxing nodded blankly. Did he dare not understand?

"Heh, I hope so."

Master Pagoda smiled faintly, then vanished before Li Jianxing's eyes.

In the boundless space, only the Sky-Piercing Divine Pagoda, Li Jianxing, and Drunken Immortal remained.

Li Jianxing looked at Drunken Immortal fearfully and tentatively asked, "Mas... Master?"

"Waste! What nonsense are you spouting? Hurry up and get over here!"

Drunken Immortal roared. If not for that person's identity, he would never have taken the waste before him as a disciple.

He, the dignified Drunken Immortal, had once roamed the Upper Nine Immortal Realms for a million years. Who wouldn't respectfully call him the Nine Heavenly Venerate!

If he hadn't accidentally annihilated the beings of a realm once.

He wouldn't have been sentenced to a million years and imprisoned in this Primordial Prison Pagoda.

Li Jianxing cautiously approached Drunken Immortal.

As soon as he got close, Drunken Immortal placed his hand on his shoulder.

Then--

"Crackling!"

"Ahhhhh!!!"

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

"Waste, waste! How can you be such a waste? Such a trash physique, such trash cultivation, how can you still have the nerve to live in this world?"

"Damn it, how can I teach someone like you, a waste, to satisfy that person?"

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

In the Sacred Land's great hall, Jun Wangyou arrived almost instantly.

Seeing the server's trembling expression at the entrance of the great hall, Jun Wangyou's gaze instantly sharpened.

As he walked into the hall, Jun Wangyou immediately felt an extremely heavy atmosphere.

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

To the left of the middle-aged man stood a woman in white.

Further down, True Man Qingwei stood trembling all over, angered to the point of shaking.

Besides these 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's eyes were filled with confusion.

"The battle was brilliant," the middle-aged man added.

Jun Wangyou understood instantly. This person must have been watching the fight from 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.

"Allow me to introduce myself first. I am Meng Changtian, an Outer Patrol Envoy of the Myriad Law Immortal Sect."

After introducing himself, Meng Changtian introduced the woman beside him, "This is my junior sister, Bai Ningxin, also an Outer Patrol Envoy."

"We heard that Li Jianxing has already met with you today. Since that's the case, you should know the purpose of our visit. Have you considered it?"

Meng Changtian looked down at Jun Wangyou from a superior position.

"Not at all!"

Jun Wangyou's gaze was cold as he looked directly at Meng Changtian.

This person's attitude annoyed him greatly, let alone joining the Myriad Law Immortal Sect, which he had no intention of joining in the first place.

"Oh? It seems Li Jianxing didn't tell you about the power of our Myriad Law Immortal Sect."

Meng Changtian smiled faintly.

[Meng Changtian has developed a negative favorability towards you. Current favorability: -2 stars]

[Bai Ningxin has developed a negative favorability towards you. Current favorability: -3 stars]

[Meng Changtian: Cultivation: Peak True Spirit Realm. Identity: Myriad Law Immortal Sect Outer Patrol Envoy (specializes in traveling the outside world to find disciples with exceptional potential for the Myriad Law Immortal Sect)]

[Bai Ningxin: Cultivation: Peak Unity Realm. Identity: Myriad Law Immortal Sect Outer Patrol Envoy]

Unity Realm, True Spirit Realm, what kind of realms were these?

Jun Wangyou's heart sank.

If the other party were in the Ascension Realm, even Peak Ascension, he wouldn't care.

But these two realms, which he had never heard of, made him hesitant to act rashly.

"Little fellow, since Li Jianxing didn't tell you about the power of our Myriad Law Immortal Sect, allow me to enlighten you, lest you make the wrong decision."

"Our Myriad Law Immortal Sect is an ancient sect in the Primordial Immortal Realm with a history of over five hundred thousand years. Our territory spans a billion miles, with hundreds of subordinate dynasties and thousands of lower sects. We have over a hundred million elders and disciples."

"People at my cultivation level are everywhere in the Myriad Law Immortal Sect. I am just one of the most unremarkable members."

"Yet, even someone like me, if you consider all the powerhouses in your Profound Region combined, they wouldn't be enough for me to defeat with one hand."

"Little fellow, your talent is astonishing. Staying here would be a waste of your potential. Only by joining the Myriad Law Immortal Sect can you have a broader horizon."

"Furthermore, I have also investigated the Holy Heaven Palace, the sect above your Heavenly Dao Sacred Land. I discovered that it is merely a sect protected by one of our Myriad Law Immortal Sect's thousands of lower sects, the Holy Spirit Sect. You can imagine the difference between the two."

"I believe your Master, True Man Qingwei, also thinks so."

"Brother Qingwei, what do you say?"

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

True Man Qingwei ignored Meng Changtian and looked at Jun Wangyou with kindness.

"Good disciple, follow your heart. If you are unwilling, they cannot take you. At worst, I will pass my position as Guardian Envoy to you."

"Then, not only these two, but even an elder from the Myriad Law Immortal Sect would not dare to do anything to you."

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

Meng Changtian's expression changed, and he said sternly to True Man Qingwei.

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

"Master..."

Jun Wangyou looked at True Man Qingwei, feeling an immense warmth in his heart. With such a master, what regrets could he have in this life!

Looking at Meng Changtian, Jun Wangyou said, "You are so arrogant and overbearing. Aren't you afraid that one day I will grow up and kill you?"

Meng Changtian laughed heartily, "My duty is to find heaven-blessed disciples for the Myriad Law Immortal Sect. If that day truly comes, then come and kill me. It is merely death, why should I fear it!"

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

"Okay, I agree!"

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

"Ten days from now, Qitian City, I hope you'll be there on time."

Meng Changtian smiled and then stood up, walking towards the throne.

Arriving beside Jun Wangyou, Meng Changtian patted Jun Wangyou's shoulder and said, "Little fellow, one day you'll understand that this was a wise choice."

After speaking, Meng Changtian walked towards the hall entrance, with Bai Ningxin following closely behind.

They didn't stop until they had left the Heavenly Dao Sacred Land.

Bai Ningxin looked at her senior brother and asked with some confusion:

"Senior Brother, we clearly had gentler ways, why did you choose this one?"

"Aren't you afraid that kid will end up hating you?"

Bai Ningxin was very puzzled.

Meng Changtian turned his head to look at Bai Ningxin and explained with a knowing look, "Junior Sister, don't you realize this kid is very different?"

"How is he different?" Bai Ningxin was confused.

"He clearly possesses the strength to crush everyone of his generation, yet he's never shown it. Even in front of the world, he ends battles so effortlessly, without any desire for fame. This shows he truly doesn't care about fame."

Meng Changtian said slowly:

"As for benefits, with the talent he's displayed, he won't lack them at all."

"Besides that, didn't you notice the aura of many spirits on the peak where this kid arrived?"

"Although this kid usually keeps a low profile, he possesses a foundation unimaginable to ordinary people."

"Fame, he doesn't care for. Benefits, he doesn't lack. And he's a free spirit. Do you think a gentle approach would work?"

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

"Perhaps in his heart, the Holy Heaven Palace holds a higher priority than us."

"Fish that have never seen the ocean cannot imagine its vastness and unfathomable depths."

"But a prodigy like him, who doesn't lack suitors, if he ever changes his mind, there will be plenty of major powers wanting him."

"Therefore, we must apply strong pressure! Force him to join us."

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

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

"It's merely pity for his life!"
