Qin Wentian was somewhat taken aback. Although his performance in the past three rounds wasn't bad, the Eastern Sage Great Emperor was after all a supreme existence in the immortal realms. How tyrannical was his strength? If such a character wanted to accept a disciple, the entire immortal realms would be in an uproar. Just the news alone would cause countless people from the immortal realms to search for the Royal Sacred Region.
He was very clear how far the distance between him and the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor was. This wasn't something that could be summed up by the word 'talent'. In the eyes of supreme existences like the Eastern Sage Great Emperor, there were simply too many geniuses with great talent. A single sentence from him could cause countless geniuses to flock to him.
No matter how much of a genius you are, can your value be compared to any of the supreme existences here?
These people were all extremely respectful and respectful to the Eastern Sage Great Emperor. In his eyes, geniuses were merely Wu Xiu who had a little more potential.
Qin Wentian was already mentally prepared to accept an even more brutal test. He thought that the later tests would be even more difficult. After all, the other seven weren't any weaker compared to him. But from the looks of things now, it seemed like that was the case.
Yet the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor directly asked him if he was willing to take him as his master.
"Is it because of Qing 'er?" Qin Wentian drew in a deep breath as his heart trembled. This was a supreme existence in the immortal realms. As long as he took him as his master, the Royal Sacred Sect would be nothing in front of him.
"Qin Wentian, congratulations." The Undying Immortal King smiled, nodding his head to Qin Wentian.
"Congratulations, you actually have the chance to take his Majesty as your master." The other immortal kings all laughed. Even for Deepflame, he no longer revealed a cold expression towards Qin Wentian. Although he was surprised in his heart, since this was his Majesty's decision, he could only agree with Qin Wentian.
In the immortal realms immensely far away from here, Changqing The Great and Qing Er stood together, staring at the situation ahead. Changqing The Great accompanied his woman and witnessed the entire process. In fact, they could even hear the voices of those who spoke. At this moment, a smile appeared on Changqing The Great's face as he spoke, "Qing Er, since Eastern Sage has promised, he naturally wouldn't go back on his words. He even intentionally allowed us to witness the entire process and wouldn't purposely make things difficult for him. As long as he has talent, we will give him a chance. In truth, Eastern Sage has already done it. Although Qin Wentian isn't too far away from the others, Eastern Sage still directly chose him."
"Yes." Qing Er replied, a trace of happiness could be seen in her eyes. That cold expression on her face seemed to have softened by a lot.
At this moment, in the banquet, Qin Wentian drew in a deep breath as he stared at the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor. He knew the reason why he came to participate in this examination. Right now, the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor issued an invitation to him. Although it was somewhat unexpected, the ending was still perfect. After entering the tutelage of the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor, he would naturally work hard in his cultivation and wouldn't disappoint Qing Er's good intentions.
"Junior is naturally willing." Qin Wentian replied.
Everyone had smiles on their faces, none of them were surprised. The Eastern Sage Great Emperor was willing to accept a disciple, even immortal kings would be moved, let alone Qin Wentian. There was no reason for him to reject. To him, this was a heavenly opportunity.
"Since you are willing, why aren't you acknowledging me as your master?" Dongsheng Ting stood beside the Eastern Sage Great Emperor as he spoke to Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian nodded. After which, he took a step forward and bowed to the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor. After which, he knelt and respectfully spoke, "Disciple Qin Wentian pays his respect to master."
"Get up." The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor waved his hands as a surge of energy supported Qin Wentian's body, allowing him to stand up. He smiled, "Since you are my disciple, I naturally have the responsibility to take care of your cultivation. You should be from this particle world, right?"
"Yes." Qin Wentian nodded in reply.
"Mhm." The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor nodded lightly. "It's truly rare to have such talent in a particle world. However, you would definitely lack some cruel training. Even if your talent is good, you still need to temper yourself before you can grow. Regardless of my son or disciple, you can't just rely on my protection. If you do that, you would only be a mediocre talent."
"Disciple understands." Qin Wentian's way of thinking was also in agreement with the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor.
"It's good that you understand. Don't think that you would be able to live a carefree life just because you are my disciple." The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor slowly spoke. After which, he turned to Deepflame and spoke, "Deepflame, you have an Abyss Legion under your command and would often engage in combat. I have no way to guide him in his cultivation, hence I will entrust him to you. There's no need to take special care of him, just let him become a member of the Abyss Legion and temper him."
"Abyss Legion?" The various immortal kings were somewhat bewildered. They had heard of this legion before, it was a legion under the command of Deepflame and was extremely strict. The death rate was exceedingly high but those who walked out were all extremely powerful. There were even some who became internal servants of the Eastern Sage Immortal Palace. The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor actually wanted to let this new disciple join the Abyss Legion to temper himself.
However, they had no way to guess the thoughts of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor.
If Qin Wentian could endure the tempering of the Abyss Legion, he would definitely have a bright future ahead of him.
"Yes, your Majesty. May I ask your Majesty, how often do you allow him to enter?" Deepflame asked.
"Once every thousand years. Within a thousand years, he would be allowed to enter for three months. If I have the time, I can guide him once." The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor calmly spoke. The members of the Abyss Legion were always carrying out missions and many of them were extremely dangerous. Their movements were all restricted and they couldn't leave their posts without permission. If they disobeyed, the consequences would be death.
"Yes, your Majesty. What level of tempering should he reach?" Deepflame asked again.
"When he is like you and has stepped into the immortal king realm, he can come to my immortal palace. I will personally guide him in his cultivation." The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor replied.
"Your Majesty, this subordinate has already stepped into the immortal king realm for a long time but I've never had such an opportunity before." Deepflame nodded. He glanced at Qin Wentian as he spoke, "Qin Wentian, in the future, you will follow me. I will help his Majesty temper you."
Qin Wentian had been quietly listening to their conversation as a strange expression appeared on his face.
"Master, the Abyss Legion only has three months of freedom every thousand years?" Qin Wentian stared at the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor as he asked.
"Yes, this legion is the strictest and strictest one under Deepflame. But those who managed to survive are all extremely powerful, all of them are at the immortal-foundation realm. Over the countless years, there are even some who have broken through to the immortal king realm. This place is suitable for you to temper yourself." The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor nodded.
"Master, a thousand years is too long to me. Can you allow this disciple to choose his own tempering method?" Qin Wentian respectfully spoke. It wasn't his wish to disobey the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor the moment he became his disciple, but he had only cultivated for less than thirty years. A thousand years was truly too long.
Could he toss Mo Qingcheng aside for a thousand years? He couldn't do it. Also, although Qin Wentian was extremely hardworking, he still yearned for freedom in his bones. Hence, he raised this objection.
He took the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor as his master because he wanted to enter the immortal realms and get closer to Qing'er. But if he only had freedom once every thousand years, wouldn't he be getting further and further away from Qing'er?
The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor and the others at the banquet were all stunned by the objection raised by Qin Wentian. After which, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor continued, "Qin Wentian, everyone in the immortal realms knows that I'm extremely strict to my descendants, disciples and subordinates. Since you took me as your master, I will be responsible for your cultivation. Maybe your cultivation time hasn't been long, but in the immortal realms, a thousand years is truly too short. If you want to become a supreme existence in the future, you have to be able to withstand the test of time. This is extremely important to temper your heart. The reason why the Abyss Legion is so strict is because it wants to temper talents."
"Master." Qin Wentian spoke again, "Disciple doesn't mean to contradict Master. It's just that up until now, disciple has only cultivated for twenty-nine years. A thousand years to disciple is truly too long. Maybe I would have the chance to step into the immortal king realm within a thousand years. If Master is truly considerate of this disciple, you can arrange other tempering methods for me."
"Qin Wentian, a thousand years is truly too short in the immortal realms." The Undying Immortal King seemed to have the intention of persuading Qin Wentian.
Deepflame's eyes flashed with coldness as he spoke, "Qin Wentian, it isn't so easy to break through to the immortal king realm. Among everyone here, Bai Wuya used the shortest amount of time to break through to the immortal king realm, yet he spent 8,000 years. Yet you actually said … In addition, his Majesty said this for your sake. You have just entered the sect and you are already questioning the arrangements of his Majesty? This isn't appropriate."
"Do you know how difficult it is to be accepted as a disciple by my royal father?" Dongsheng Ting spoke. Qin Wentian inclined his head and stared into his eyes. That sharp gaze of his flickered with a hint of mockery, involuntarily causing Qin Wentian to recall the time when Dongsheng Ting went to the Royal Sacred Region to receive Qing 'er.
Was it truly a great fortune for him to be accepted as a disciple by the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor?
Earlier, the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor said that he would only have a period of free time once every thousand years. If the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor was free, he would guide him. But this meant that if he wasn't free, this disciple of his wouldn't even be able to see the face of the Eastern Sage Immortal King. Unless …
Unless one day, he stepped into the immortal king realm. Only then would he be qualified to receive the guidance of the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor.
Qin Wentian didn't really need the guidance of the Eastern Sage Immortal King. But if the master valued the disciple, there was no need for the disciple to say anything. It was something that would happen naturally. Unless, the master didn't really value the disciple that much.
Just like now. Maybe it was because of Qing 'er that the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor chose to accept him as a disciple. Hence, there was no need for him to take any further examinations. But it was also because of this reason that the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor truly valued him as a disciple and wanted to nurture him. If not, no matter how strict a master was, if he liked a disciple, he wouldn't not even raise any objections.
Inclining his head, Qin Wentian stared at the emotionless gaze of the Eastern Sage Immortal King, as well as the mocking look in the eyes of the various immortal kings. He could personally feel the pride of a supreme existence. In their eyes, the fact that the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor accepted him as a disciple was already a heaven-defying opportunity. Hence, he should be respectful and listen to the guidance of his master. He shouldn't have any other thoughts.
The people here all felt that this was only natural. After all, he was merely a genius from a particle world while the other party was none other than the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor.
They all felt that as long as the Eastern Sage Immortal King waved his hand, countless geniuses like him would flock to him. Qin Wentian was fortunate enough to be the disciple of the Eastern Sage Immortal King but he actually dared to go against his master's wishes?
