Dongsheng Heaven Emperor had an emotionless expression on his face. His eyes that were as deep as the starry skies had no hints of emotions. Nobody could tell what he was thinking.
He quietly stared at Qin Wentian. Upon seeing Qin Wentian also looking at him, he spoke again, "This is the first time you want to go against your master's order. Is it because from your point of view, if I accept you as my disciple, you would be able to sleep peacefully? As your master, I should guide you in your cultivation and provide you with the best resources?"
"Your Majesty, Wentian has no such intentions." Qin Wentian replied.
"What a 'Your Majesty'. You are no longer referring to me as your master." Eastern Sage's voice was filled with anger. Dongsheng Ting who was beside him had an even colder look on his face. "If father accepts a disciple, he would be able to cause millions of particle worlds to flock to him and worship him. Geniuses like you are simply too common. In the immortal realms, there has never been a disciple who is as arrogant as you."
Qin Wentian stared at Dongsheng Ting's cold gaze, speechless. In any case, no matter what he said, it would always be wrong because their statuses weren't equal. He was a genius from a particle world while Qin Wentian was the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor. The matter of him taking Dongsheng Ting as his master, everyone felt that he, Qin Wentian, had climbed up the social ladder. Yet, he actually dared to disobey.
As he thought of this, Qin Wentian sighed in his heart. The disparity in strength was too great, and the disparity in statuses was simply too great. He suddenly thought that if Dongsheng Ting didn't like him, he could just take Dongsheng Heaven Emperor as his master and Dongsheng Ting could do whatever he wanted to him. Was this unpleasantness because of Qing 'er?
"Seems like it isn't so easy to 'climb up the social ladder' for immortal emperors." Qin Wentian mocked himself in his heart. It was truly too easy for the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor to accept a genius. Even if Qin Wentian became his disciple because of a 'favor', there wouldn't be any status to speak of.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Wentian bowed to the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Qin Wentian is not blessed."
The surrounding immortal kings were all stunned, staring at Qin Wentian in astonishment. Some of them even thought that Qin Wentian had gone mad, to actually be so daring.
He just took the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor as his master and now, he actually wanted to separate from the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor? Was he crazy? If this matter was circulated out, what would the people of the immortal realms say? That the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor was abandoned by a genius from a particle world?
How ridiculous it was, but it was happening right in front of their eyes.
Dongsheng Heaven Emperor fell silent. He stared at the bowing Qin Wentian and after a long time, he finally spoke, "To think that my Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor would actually want to accept a disciple with a questionable character. How ridiculous."
Qin Wentian didn't explain anything. In this place, he had no authority to speak at all.
"Earlier, you have already performed the ceremony of taking me as your master. Hence, there's already a master-disciple relationship between us. If you betray the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, you will be executed according to the rules of the immortal realms." As the sound of the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor's voice faded, Qin Wentian's countenance turned pale. The immortal kings at the banquet all stared at Qin Wentian with pity in their eyes. He originally had a chance to enter the tutelage of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, yet such a thing actually happened. What a pity.
"Your Majesty." At this moment, a voice rang out. The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor turned his gaze over, staring at the person who spoke. It was none other than Bai Wuya.
"This young man's character isn't good, how can he have the qualifications to enter your Majesty's tutelage? Although your Majesty wanted to accept a disciple today, but since you've already seen through this young man, there's no need for him to betray the sect and damage your Majesty's reputation. Why don't you just expel him and treat it as a joke? Your Majesty can then choose one of the remaining seven to accept as your disciple."
Bai Wuya slowly spoke, his voice calm. Many people cast a deep glance at Bai Wuya. The people here were all immortal kings, and which of them weren't old monsters that had lived for over ten thousand years? Although Bai Wuya was speaking on behalf of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, in truth, he was also helping Qin Wentian.
However, Bai Wuya's words made sense as well.
The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor glanced at him before shifting his gaze back to Qin Wentian as he spoke, "Bai Wuya is right. Just treat my intention of accepting a disciple as a joke. Today, I'm in a good mood and the words I said before still stand. Today, I will accept a personal disciple. If any of you are interested, you can also choose one from the remaining seven to accept, including Qin Wentian."
"Your Majesty is benevolent." The Undying Immortal King laughed.
"Your Majesty is benevolent." Everyone spoke. The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor no longer glanced at Qin Wentian. Instead, he turned to the other seven and spoke, "Let me ask you guys first. If you want to enter my tutelage, you have to obey the orders of your master and must not disobey. Which of you is willing to do so?"
Qin Wentian still stood there awkwardly. But at this moment, a voice rang out in his mind, "Retreat quietly."
Qin Wentian's heart stirred slightly. After that, he quietly retreated to the back of the crowd, outside the banquet.
Drawing in a deep breath, he calmed his heart. Seems like he would have to disappoint Qing 'er this time around. If he wanted to enter the immortal realms, he would have to depend on himself to walk out step by step.
"Junior is willing." Que Tianyi immediately bowed as he spoke to the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor.
"Junior is willing." Blackpeak and the others also respectfully replied. The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor clearly added on his earlier words because of Qin Wentian. All of them expressed their willingness except for one. Hua Taixu didn't express his willingness.
The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor didn't look at Hua Taixu. He stared at Que Tianyi as he spoke, "Que Tianyi, you are the descendant of the Scarce Moon Immortal King. If I accept you as my disciple, I would definitely be stricter than the Scarce Moon Immortal King. Do you have the ability to endure it?"
"Being able to enter the tutelage of your Majesty, I have no regrets even if I have to die nine times." Que Tianyi knelt down. The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor smiled and nodded, "Fine. In that case, I shall accept you as my disciple today."
A look of joy flashed in Que Tianyi's eyes as he excitedly spoke, "Disciple Que Tianyi pays his respects to Master."
"Good, get up." The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor smiled. At this moment, the Scarce Moon Immortal King stood up and bowed to the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor. "Your Majesty accepting this unfilial son as your disciple is the honor of my Scarce Moon Immortal Manor. In the future, your Majesty can teach him however you want, the stricter the better."
"Mhm." The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor nodded. "After this matter, I will bring him back to the Eastern Sage Immortal Palace first before making arrangements for him."
"Your Majesty, please do as you wish." The Scarce Moon Immortal King bowed and sat back down.
"Que Tianyi, congratulations." Dongsheng Ting smiled at Que Tianyi. Que Tianyi nodded and bowed, "Que Tianyi pays his respects to senior brother."
"Okay, in the future if junior brother has any matters, you can always look for me." Dongsheng Ting spoke.
"Many thanks, senior brother." A look of joy appeared on Que Tianyi's face. Seems like he had to improve his relationship with Dongsheng Ting in the future.
"Congratulations to your Majesty for accepting a disciple." The Undying Immortal King raised his cup and smiled.
"Congratulations to your Majesty for accepting a disciple." Everyone raised their cups. This Undying Immortal King had always been someone who knew how to conduct himself. His reaction was truly fast, the unhappiness he felt earlier seemed to have dissipated with just a few words. As for Qin Wentian, no one seemed to be interested in him anymore.
The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor drank a cup with everyone before he spoke, "There are still quite a few geniuses here, do you all have any thoughts?"
"Haha, your Majesty is right. Since your Majesty has already accepted a disciple, your subordinate naturally wishes to accept one as well." Deepflame laughed heartily. "Blackpeak, are you willing to take me, Deepflame, as your master?"
Blackpeak's eyes flashed with joy. Deepflame was a powerful war general under the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor and was proficient in slaughter. This was exactly what Blackpeak wanted. Although he wasn't able to enter the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor's tutelage, being able to take an immortal king as his master was also a good thing.
"Disciple Blackpeak pays his respects to master." Blackpeak respectfully spoke.
"Let me join in the fun as well." An immortal king with sharp eyes stared at Yi Yang as he asked, "Yi Yang, are you willing to take me, Solitary Blade, as your master?"
This immortal king was none other than the Solitary Blade Immortal King. Yi Yang's constellation was a saber-type constellation and hence, he wanted to accept Yi Yang as his disciple to support the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor.
"Yi Yang pays his respects to master." Since Yi Yang could enter the tutelage of an immortal king, he was naturally willing. In the immortal realms, immortal kings were supreme characters in their eyes. Normally, it was extremely rare to encounter one. Most probably, only that fellow Qin Wentian actually missed out on this chance to become the personal disciple of an immortal emperor.
Three of them entered the ninth peak. Out of the four, only Qin Wentian didn't have a master.
"Hua Taixu, are you willing to enter my tutelage?" At this moment, the Myriad Incarnations Immortal King threw out an olive branch to Hua Taixu. Hua Taixu's expression was calm, only to see the Myriad Incarnations Immortal King smiling, her beauty moving the hearts of others. Hua Taixu nodded his head and bowed, "Disciple Hua Taixu pays his respects to master."
"Sure." The Myriad Incarnations Immortal King smiled and nodded. After that, she stretched her hand out, lifting Hua Taixu up.
"Hua Taixu, your luck is truly good. It's unknown how many people in the immortal realms wish to enter the tutelage of this beautiful Myriad Incarnations Immortal King. This time around, many people are going to be jealous of you." The Undying Immortal King joked, knowing how to lighten the mood.
"Old fellow, how can you be so indecent in front of juniors?" The Myriad Incarnations Immortal King glared at the Undying Immortal King, her every frown and smile was filled with a myriad of emotions.
At the immortal king realm, one's demeanor would naturally be extraordinary. Hence, for some females, as long as their talent was good, they would be able to cultivate quickly. As their cultivation base grew stronger, they would grow more and more beautiful. If one's demeanor was too beautiful, they would be considered a true fairy once they stepped into the immortal realm.
"Haha, I'm speaking the truth." The Undying Immortal King laughed. Everyone at the banquet laughed as well. The Myriad Incarnations Immortal King was the only female immortal king here and she was also beautiful. Many immortal kings tried to woo her but to no avail. After all, as an immortal king character, the standards of the Myriad Incarnations Immortal King would definitely be very high. She wouldn't even be interested in ordinary immortal kings. She basically didn't need to rely on men.
In this case, out of the four of them, only Qin Wentian met with a mishap, the others all managed to enter the tutelage of a famous teacher. Que Tianyi's luck was even better, he managed to enter the tutelage of the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor. It was unknown how many people would be envious of him.
In a faraway location in the immortal realms, Qing 'er quietly watched everything. Staring at the lonely silhouette of Qin Wentian, a trace of coldness could be seen in her eyes.
"Qing 'er, this young man truly doesn't know what's good for him. Eastern Sage did intend to accept him as a disciple but how could a character like him not have a temper? Being contradicted the moment he accepted a disciple, he would naturally be unhappy. Being able to not blame him is already considered giving him a lot of face." Changqing The Great spoke.
"He will regret this." Qing 'er coldly spoke!
