Accepting Di Xin as a Disciple

"Alright," Wen Zhong replied. "Your subject will now invite Junior Martial Uncle to meet the Great King."

"No!" Di Xin responded. "I wish to personally pay my respects to Changqing Zhenren."

No matter how powerful an Intercepting Sect Zhenren might be, they were still of a different race.

As a Human King, Di Xin deeply understood the saying, 'Not of my race, their hearts are sure to differ.'

But Changqing Zhenren was different; he was Human Race!

If Gu Changqing was truly as formidable as Wen Zhong claimed, what was wrong with making him the Imperial Preceptor?

With the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors having retreated to Flame Cloud Cave, the Human Race no longer had any experts to keep the immortal sects in check.

Wen Zhong bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, Great King."

Di Xin, in disguise, followed Wen Zhong to the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

Gu Changqing looked up towards the gate. Seeing a surge of royal aura approaching, he knew Di Xin had arrived.

He could guess what Di Xin wanted with just a thought.

It seemed that the current Di Xin had not yet been misled and was still an enlightened ruler.

"Wen Zhong greets Junior Martial Uncle."

"Zi Shou greets Changqing Zhenren."

The ruler and his subject bowed slightly upon seeing Gu Changqing.

Gu Changqing chuckled, "The Great King is a Human King; there's no need for such excessive formality." To Wen Zhong, he added, "There's no need for these elaborate customs among family."

Wen Zhong replied, "Propriety must not be abandoned."

Di Xin responded, "Though Zi Shou is a Human King, Zhenren is a great sage of the Human Race. It is only right for a Human King to bow to a sage."

Whatever makes you happy!

Gu Changqing then asked, "Great King, you visit late at night. What guidance do you seek?"

Di Xin knelt on one knee and said, "The Human Race is in decline, and the immortal sects cause chaos. I ask Zhenren to uphold justice for the Human Race."

Gu Changqing replied, "You are the Human King; the great task of the Human Race naturally falls upon your shoulders."

Di Xin replied, "Since Zi Shou is the lord of humanity, I should naturally strive for the rise of the Human Race. However, Zi Shou finds it difficult to clap with one hand or support alone. I ask Changqing Zhenren to guide me."

Gu Changqing replied, "The path to self-reliance for the Human Race is fraught with difficulties and dangers, even requiring the ultimate sacrifice of life. Have you truly considered this?"

Di Xin replied, "Zi Shou hereby swears to dedicate my life to the Human Race until death! For the prosperity of the Human Race, I will brave fire and water, facing countless dangers without hesitation!"

Di Xin's oath was resounding and powerful, each word striking like a thunderclap.

"Please, Zhenren, guide me!"

Di Xin was not playing games. He trusted Wen Zhong, and naturally, he trusted Gu Changqing.

Having studied under Wen Zhong since childhood, it could be said that his current standing was entirely due to Wen Zhong's efforts.

In his memory, Wen Zhong had never praised anyone so highly.

"Since you have such determination, I will fulfill your wish." Gu Changqing said, helping Di Xin to his feet. He took out the Kongtong Seal and said, "This is the Kongtong Seal, also known as the Human Emperor Seal. It can suppress the Luck of the Human Race!"

Human Emperor Seal!

Wen Zhong and Di Xin were greatly astonished.

They had heard of the great renown of the Human Emperor Seal.

However, ever since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors went into seclusion, the Human Emperor Seal had been lost.

After the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, there had been no Human Emperor among humanity.

"Zi Shou, do you dare to accept this seal?"

The Human Emperor Seal was a supreme treasure of the Human Race, but also an immense karmic burden.

The Human Emperor Seal represented a Human Emperor, not merely a Human King!

"Zi Shou fears nothing!"

Di Xin accepted the Kongtong Seal and immediately refined it with his royal aura.

A Luck Golden Dragon soared from Chaoge.

Seeing this, Wen Zhong secretly rejoiced, knowing that Junior Martial Uncle had indeed come for Chaoge.

Fortunately, the Great King had not disappointed Junior Martial Uncle. Otherwise, if Junior Martial Uncle had given the Human Emperor Seal to someone else, Great Shang would likely have been doomed.

Di Xin was also very fortunate. If he hadn't trusted Wen Zhong and had shown even slight disrespect to Changqing Zhenren, this supreme treasure of the Human Race might have fallen into other hands.

Now that chaos was brewing in the world, Changqing Zhenren's arrival with the Human Emperor Seal was naturally to choose an enlightened ruler for the Human Race.

"Zi Shou greets Master!"

Di Xin bowed again, striking while the iron was hot.

The deeper his karmic ties with Gu Changqing, the more the latter would trust him.

Gu Changqing was not just an esteemed figure of the Human Race; behind him stood the colossal power of the Intercepting Sect.

Gu Changqing glanced at Di Xin, thinking, Since I've already incurred karma with Di Xin, what's wrong with a little more? I've already decided to protect Shang anyway.

Taking Di Xin as a disciple will also allow me to better guide him in the future.

"Good!" Gu Changqing helped Di Xin up and said, "From today onwards, you are my personal disciple, Gu Changqing's disciple."

After Gu Changqing accepted Di Xin, his massive Merits once again boosted Chaoge's Luck.

"Thank you, Master."

Di Xin happily said, "Please, Master, move to the royal palace. Zi Shou would love to properly honor you."

"No need, staying at the Grand Tutor's Mansion is perfectly fine for me." Gu Changqing took out the Human Emperor Sword and added, "Since you've taken me as your master, I'll also gift you this Human Emperor Sword."

The Human Emperor Sword!

Di Xin and Wen Zhong were stunned again. They had just recovered from the shock of the Human Emperor Seal and now they saw the legendary Human Emperor Sword!

Junior Martial Uncle truly lives up to his name!

Wen Zhong didn't know what else to say.

Di Xin was naturally overjoyed. With these two great treasures of the Human Race in hand, who in the world would dare to defy him?

As long as he could awe the Human Race and integrate all of its power, what was there to fear from the immortal sects?

Di Xin was filled with soaring ambition for a moment, exuding the aura of someone who could decide the fate of the world with a single sword.

As Di Xin held the Human Emperor Sword, Chaoge's Luck surged once more.

Gu Changqing then said, "Don't be happy too soon. Don't underestimate the immortal sects. Below a Saint, all are ants. A few treasures are not enough to rewrite the fate of the Human Race."

Di Xin was startled upon hearing this, realizing he had gotten a bit too carried away. He quickly replied, "Master's teaching is correct."

Thinking of the Saints, Di Xin couldn't help but feel a touch of discouragement.

The Saints were an immovable mountain pressing down on the Human Race!

"Nor should you belittle yourself." Gu Changqing pointed a finger at Di Xin's brow and said, "I now impart to you a true scripture. Do not forget to cultivate in your spare time after diligently governing."

With that, he transmitted the Primordial Creation True Scripture to Di Xin.

Then, he exchanged for a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill and a Limitless Creation Pill for Di Xin, saying, "The Nine Revolutions Golden Pill can help you reach the Golden Immortal realm, and the Limitless Creation Pill can help you reach Great Luo."

At this moment, Gu Changqing had given everything he could.

If Di Xin still couldn't defy fate, then it truly would be an unchangeable destiny.

"Zi Shou humbly thanks Master."

Di Xin bowed to Gu Changqing again.

"You may return now."

Gu Changqing waved his hand. This was all he could help with for now.

Di Xin joyfully returned to the royal palace. After consuming the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill and the Limitless Creation Pill, his cultivation directly broke through to Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Feeling the explosive surge of power, it felt like a dream.

The Human Race's Luck has greatly increased, rewarding the host with 50 billion Merits and one Human Emperor Brush.

Hearing the system notification, Gu Changqing was stunned.

He now had over 100 billion Merits. How should he use so many Merits?

If he exchanged them all for Innate Supreme Treasures, he'd be picking them up until his hands hurt.

Could this be a system bug?

With so many Merits in hand, he could sweep aside anyone as long as it wasn't a Saint personally intervening.

He finally had the power to protect himself.

Gu Changqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Chaoge's Luck had surged three times consecutively, shaking the world.

Especially the Four Great Sects!

Tong Tian was naturally pleased with this.

This kid has repeatedly rendered extraordinary service to the Intercepting Sect. How should I reward him?

When a disciple is richer than his Master, even the Master gets a headache.

The other Three Sects, however, couldn't sit still.

With Chaoge's Luck greatly increased, how would Zhou replace Shang? How would Investiture of the Gods proceed?

And how would the Human Emperor be demoted to the Son of Heaven?

The Three Sects all sent disciples to Chaoge.
