"Isn't this reward a bit too exaggerated?" Xiao Chen swallowed and said subconsciously.
"Exaggerated? Ha, ha, for ordinary immortals like you who are still struggling under the Life and Death Mirror, it is exaggerated. For the master, these things are insignificant! "The puppet said something that Xiao Chen didn't quite understand.
But now Xiao Chen was not in the mood to carefully analyze the puppet's words, so he didn't notice the special meaning contained in the puppet's words.
"Then what is the second choice?" Xiao Chen calmed down after the excitement.
Since the puppet had given him two choices, and the first choice was so exaggerated, there must be some hidden reason, although it seemed that he didn't need to pay any price now. Moreover, according to his understanding of the master of the Cloud Secret Land, as long as there were two choices, there must be a deeper meaning.
Therefore, he did not get carried away by the generous rewards of the first option and immediately made his choice. Instead, he asked cautiously.
The puppet looked at Xiao Chen with approval, and then said, "The second choice is a very conventional reward, only an ordinary immortal skill and a certain number of heavenly materials and earthly treasures."
"This …" Xiao Chen was stunned. The gap between the two choices was too big.
"Senior, please forgive me for being presumptuous, but I want to know why the gap between the two choices is so big?" After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen plucked up the courage to ask. After all, this matter was related to the benefits he could get, so it was necessary to take the risk and ask.
With such a big gap, he naturally couldn't choose at will.
"Oh, he's just an ordinary nominal disciple with nothing special. What benefits does he want? A nominal disciple like you, if you didn't pass the test of the Cloud Tower, is not even qualified to be a nominal disciple! "The puppet laughed contemptuously.
"Among the master's nominal disciples, there are even Immortal Emperors, and even those Immortal Emperors can't get the master's favor. Do you think an ordinary person in the Genuine Immortal Realm like you is qualified to get the biggest benefits?" The puppet didn't hide its sneer at all.
Xiao Chen was speechless.
He didn't think that the puppet was bragging, because as far as he knew, the existence of the master of the Cloud Secret Land seemed to have transcended some kind of unreachable Dao.
It was normal for an expert in the Immortal Emperor Realm to want to follow such an existence.
"So, why is there still the first choice?" Xiao Chen thought for a while and asked a more critical question.
"Master set up the test of the Cloud Pagoda in order to select the most talented person. If you can pass the test of the Cloud Pagoda, it proves that your talent and potential are not bad. So, although your cultivation level is a little low now, it means that there is still a lot of room for development in the future. To some extent, compared to some Immortal Emperors who have been limited in their development, your future achievements may be a little greater!"
"That's why there's a choice. Of course, if you choose the first choice, then just like what I said just now, you'll become one of the more prestigious disciples among the master's many registered disciples. In other words, you'll be the one who'll be the focus of attention."
"But in this world, if you want to get something, you have to pay something. If you want to get the first reward, then you have to swear that you will not do anything harmful to the master in the future. This is what I said just now. You have to help the master in the future, but it is only a relative constraint. You don't have to help the master. In fact, if you want to help the master, you are just like an ant now. Even some powerful experts in the Immortal Emperor Realm don't have the strength to help the master."
"So, you can simply regard this oath as a constraint. It's just that the master doesn't want the person he has spent so much effort and resources to cultivate to become an enemy in the future! Do you understand now that I've put it this way?
Xiao Chen nodded. The words of the puppet had been so clear. If he still didn't understand, then he was really a fool. There was no difference.
Although this kind of thing wasn't common, it didn't mean that it didn't exist. Some powerhouses were indeed unwilling to let the person they had spent so much effort and resources to cultivate become their enemy in the future because of certain interests. That would be like shooting themselves in the foot.
So, sometimes in the Immortal Realm, if one wanted to get the inheritance of the predecessor, he had to make some strange oaths. This was a very normal thing.
Although there was a kind of restriction on him now, in fact, he was also the one who benefited from it. As the puppet had said, in the Cloud Secret Realm, if an existence at that level really needed help, it was not something that an ordinary nominal disciple like him could help with.
So, for Xiao Chen, there was no real loss.
"It can be said that from now on, you are one of the master's people, not just an ordinary disciple who has passed the test of the Cloud Tower. You can understand this oath as a constraint to stand in line. If you make the oath, you are one of the master's people. If you don't make the oath, you will be relatively free, but you will also not be able to get the master's strong cultivation! Think about it yourself! " The puppet thought about it and still used a more straightforward way to let Xiao Chen understand what this oath meant.
Although its master did want to collect all kinds of geniuses, after all, the existence of the master of the Cloud Secret Land was too high.
Now. Cultivating geniuses was just for the slightest possibility of one in a billion in the future.
The possibility of them really growing to the extent that they could provide help to the master of the Cloud Secret Land was too small.
However, Xiao Chen was a little confused. Stand in line?
What did this mean?
Usually, only in the case of two different forces fighting, some relatively weak people would choose to stand in line and protect themselves.
For him, he was just a disciple who wanted to become a member of the Cloud Secret Land group. This did not seem to involve any fighting, so why did he have to choose a side?
However, it was obvious that the puppet's answer to this question was only four words: No comment!
“”
This extremely cold answer made Xiao Chen roll his eyes.
Then, he secretly communicated with Donghuang Zhong.
In the end, he listened to Donghuang Zhong's suggestion and chose the first one.
"Senior, I am willing to swear!"
The puppet laughed when it heard this. "Very good, you will be glad for your choice today at some point in the future!"
