"This Conclave of Immortal Destiny truly is interesting!"
"Right. The second place winner was taken on as a disciple by Daofather Crimsonbright. The third place winner, the sloppy Daoist, was taken on as a disciple by Grand Emperor Xuanwu. Even Yu Wei, who didn't even make it into the top ten, was taken on as a disciple by True Immortal Lu Dongbin. Only the first place winner is left standing here!"
"There's nothing for it. Who told Ji Ning to suddenly make a breakthrough and become number one? Luck played a huge role in this. To Daofathers, what they care about is future potential. As for luck? It's too intangible!"
"Let's wait and see. Ji Ning is number one, after all. Daofather Crimsonbright will probably send one of his True Immortals to take him on as a disciple. Unfortunately, this sort of disciple definitely won't be valued by Master in the future!"
"This Ji Ning uses the sword. I imagine there aren't many True Immortals who would be willing to take him on. After all, there are far too few Sword Immortals. Ordinary True Immortals aren't able to teach him at all. This Conclave … this little fellow is probably going to become a joke!"
Some of the spectating Celestial Immortals felt pity, while others mocked. All of them waited quietly, wanting to see if any other major powers would descend and take Ji Ning away.
"Ji Ning, Master is going to take me away from the world of the Grand Xia. After I become a Celestial Immortal, I'll definitely go find you!" Ning's Dao-companion, Yu Wei, stood by Lu Dongbin's side. Her eyes were slightly red as she bid Ning farewell.
Crackle! Crackle!
Crackle! Suddenly, within the imperial palace of the Grand Xia Dynasty, spatial tears began to spread out. The defensive barriers which the True Immortals had set down within the palace seemed to be completely useless, as they were easily torn apart by this person.
The Xia Emperor's face changed dramatically. Even the nearby Sword Immortal, Lu Dongbin, revealed a look of wariness. This person was able to silently charge into the imperial palace. This person was most likely at the True God or Daofather level of power!
"Everyone, who is number one in this Conclave of Immortal Destiny?!"
A rather cold voice rang out from within the palace. As everyone watched, a blood-colored figure slowly walked out from the spatial tear. He stood there in midair within the palace, a calm look on his face as he sized up the people below him. His aura was completely unrestrained.
"This aura … it's a True God!" The Xia Emperor's face changed..... He had never seen this True God before; he didn't seem to be of the Three Realms!
"Greetings, senior. How should I address you?" Lü Dongbin immediately determined the strength of this person. He immediately put away the immortal sword in his hand and cupped his fists in greeting.
The newcomer didn't answer Lu Dongbin's question. Instead, he scanned the hall with his gaze. A short while later, his gaze rested upon Ning.
"You are the champion of this Conclave?"
Ning's heart clenched. He hurriedly clasped his hands and bowed respectfully. He knew very well that if even a True Immortal like Lu Dongbin had to address this person as' senior ', then this person was most likely a True God or a Daofather. He absolutely couldn't treat this person with disrespect!
"This junior, Ji Ning, is indeed the champion of this Conclave!"
The blood-robed man swept Ning up and down with his gaze, then couldn't help but nod. No other emotions could be seen from his face, and he waved his hand, causing Ning to be drawn to his side.
"I am Ao Wuxu. On the orders of my master, I have come to take you away!" Ao Wuxu casually tore through space, preparing to lead Ning away from the world of the Grand Xia.
"Senior, this is the world of the Grand Xia, after all. Ji Ning is a member of the world of the Grand Xia. Are you going to take him away, just like that?"
The Xia Emperor felt a hint of anger in his heart. This newcomer's attitude was simply too arrogant. Although he was just a True Immortal, behind him stood Daofather Crimsonbright. Even if Ao Wuxu was a Daofather as well, this was a bit too disrespectful of Daofather Crimsonbright, wasn't it?
"What, do I need your permission to take Ji Ning away?" Ao Wuxu's face instantly turned cold. A bloodthirsty aura of slaughter instantly spread out, causing all of the Immortals within the palace to tremble. Their souls felt as though they were about to be frozen solid.
"Senior, please calm your anger. This junior misspoke just now. However, senior, please tell me where you wish to take Ji Ning, so that this junior can explain things to Daofather Crimsonbright!" Sensing that this person before him wasn't an easy person to deal with, the Xia Emperor felt resigned. All he could do was bring up the name of Daofather Crimsonbright, hoping that this person would restrain himself.
"I am the prime disciple of Emperor Haotian. In the future, Ji Ning will be Master's second disciple. I have received Master's orders to take Ji Ning to the Haotian major world. What, are you going to stop me?"
Ao Wuxu didn't care about the Xia Emperor's threats at all. However, Ji Ning was going to be his junior apprentice-brother in the future, after all; he wasn't willing to go too far. If necessary, he still had to give some instructions.
"Emperor Haotian?"
"Can it be that Elder God who stands guard over the Haotian major world?"
"Supposedly, during the Fiendgod War of the Primordial Era, Emperor Haotian established the Celestial Court. Quite a few of the Daofathers of the Three Realms have taken up positions in the Celestial Court!"
The hall was in an uproar. Emperor Haotian's fame was simply too great. Although he had long ago retired into seclusion within the Haotian major world, he was still an Elder God, and had the vague reputation of being the number one expert of the Three Realms. Everyone couldn't help but feel shocked.
The Xia Emperor's face was stiff. For a moment, he didn't know what to do. Just as he was preparing to send this news to his master, Daofather Crimsonbright, a spatial rift once more appeared in the air of the hall. A tall, tall, azure-haired elder slowly walked out from the rift.
"This old man, Crimsonbright, greets you, fellow Daoist Wuxu!"
As soon as he appeared, the old man immediately clasped his hands towards Ao Wuxu and introduced himself.
"Master!"
"Greetings, Daofather Crimsonbright!"
As the azure-haired elder appeared, everyone in the hall, including the Xia Emperor and Lu Dongbin, all bowed respectfully. This was a Daofather, after all. Ordinary Immortals would probably only see him a few times in their entire lives.
Perhaps because he could sense that this person was no weaker than himself, Ao Wuxu's attitude softened slightly. He nodded towards the old man. "I'm going to take Ji Ning away. Are you going to stop me?"
"Fellow Daoist, you jest. As long as you can prove that you are indeed Emperor Haotian's disciple, how could I possibly dare to stop him from taking on a disciple?"
Daofather Crimsonbright chortled. If Emperor Haotian wanted to take on a disciple, he indeed wouldn't dare to stop him. But if this person before him wasn't the Emperor's disciple, then today, he wouldn't be able to come and go as he pleased!
Ao Wuxu didn't waste any words. As soon as Daofather Crimsonbright finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a golden jade slip appeared in his palm.
"Might I ask if you recognize this jade slip?"
Daofather Crimsonbright stared fixedly at the jade slip in Ao Wuxu's hand. After a long while, he let out a long sigh, then once more clasped his hands towards Ao Wuxu.
"Fellow Daoist, you really are the Emperor's disciple. Earlier, this humble Daoist was rude!" As he spoke, Daofather Crimsonbright turned to instruct the Xia Emperor, "Prepare a banquet. Your master wishes to drink with fellow Daoist Wuxu!"
"No need! Master is still waiting for me to report back. If there's a chance, I'll drink and chat with you, fellow Daoist! "
