This era?
No, the Investiture of the Gods didn't seem to have begun yet.
"Your disciple A Shui pays his respects to you, exalted immortal. Please accept me as your disciple."
Just as Xiao Tian returned and used Thousand-Mile Eyes and Wind-Listening Ears to determine what era the world was in, an innate water spirit suddenly emerged from the great river beside him, prostrated himself before Xiao Tian, and spoke.
Xiao Tian's heart stirred. It was actually Zhu Tianpeng. He looked over, and sure enough, this was the future Marshal Tianpeng, Zhu Tianpeng.
That meant he really was Patriarch Bodhi. After searching for so long, he had actually been looking for himself all along.
"Why do you want to become my disciple?"
Xiao Tian looked at Zhu Tianpeng curiously and asked casually.
By feeling his own way along the path of cultivation, Zhu Tianpeng had already attained Earth Immortal cultivation and could be considered a minor immortal.
"Exalted immortal, I was originally an innate water spirit born between heaven and earth. I happened upon this Wuding River and obtained a small opportunity. Only after thirty years of arduous cultivation did I reach my present level.
"Unfortunately, the road to immortality stretches into the boundless unknown. The opportunity I obtained could only take me as far as my current realm. The outside world is too dangerous, and I dared not leave the river, so I could only remain asleep in the Wuding River."
"Today, on a sudden impulse, I decided to leave the Wuding River to seek an opportunity. Then I saw you appear here out of thin air.
"Exalted immortal, your divine abilities are vast and your magical power is boundless. Please bestow your grace upon me and accept me."
Zhu Tianpeng immediately gave a brief account of his circumstances
