...Thinking of this matter, Saint Qingyuan felt a belly full of grievances.
Ever since the Sacred Supreme of Cloud Peng came to the Tianrui Saint Dynasty, he hasn’t had a single day of peace. This old guy not only eats and lives with him every day but also picks on everything, critical of every small detail, never showing him a single kind expression.
Due to his master’s relation, he couldn’t even complain, truly feeling stifled to death~
"Hehe~" The Sacred Supreme of Cloud Peng squinted at Saint Qingyuan with a cheerful smile, feeling immensely satisfied inside.
Who else should repay the "debt" owed by your master if not you, his disciple?
A while back, when the Sacred Supreme of Cloud Peng finally picked out a taller candidate among the shorter ones to celebrate his "six hundredth birthday," without it even starting, the Sacred Supreme of Yunhai and Wang Licui ran off to the Central Lands.
The Yunhai master and disciple both fled, and others naturally pretended to be deaf and dumb. In the end, he ended up spending a lot of money preparing for the birthday celebration in vain, such a loss~
This anger had to be vented somehow.
"Wang Shouzhe greets the Sacred Supreme; please take a seat, Sacred Supreme."
Wang Shouzhe acted as if he didn’t notice the eye contact between Saint Qingyuan and the Sacred Supreme of Cloud Peng, and saluted with neither arrogance nor humility, then instructed Jiang Mu Xian: "Serve a pot of fine Immortal Tea for the senior."
"Yes, Young Master."
Jiang Mu Xian immediately stepped forward and respectfully brewed a pot of Immortal Tea for the Sacred Supreme of Cloud Peng: "Please enjoy the tea, Your Excellency."
"You young fellow, you’re more perceptive than the Qingyuan kid." The Sacred Supreme of Cloud Peng happily took a sip of the Immortal Tea, praising him, "Your Cloud Boat seems nice; I suppose you come from a prominent family?"
This Heaven Void Cloud Boat was once the vehicle of the Demon Lord and had been passed down within the Real Demon Palace for a long time. It’s unknown which generation of Demon Lord dug out this good ship from the Divine Martial Relics, and its value is undoubtedly significant.
Wang Shouzhe smiled slightly, without giving a direct answer: "They’re just external possessions, certainly not comparable to the Sacred Supreme’s vehicle."
"You don’t know, Your Excellency," said Saint Qingyuan with a smile, "although my younger brother Wang Shouzhe is young, his bloodline is extraordinary, not something we ordinary saints and saintesses could compare with. You mentioned seeking your fortune in the Tianrui Saint Dynasty to see if you could find a suitable heir, didn’t you?"
"..."
Wang Shouzhe’s expression froze.
This dog Qingyuan looks simple-minded on the outside, but he plays this trick of "shifting trouble east" quite well~
Sure enough.
The Sacred Supreme of Cloud Peng’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, starting to evaluate Wang Shouzhe: "Young Shouzhe, how old are you? Have you apprenticed under any Sacred Supreme? Your current cultivation, well, it seems to be at the Advanced Stage of the Divine Power Territory..."
"My younger brother Wang Shouzhe is barely over four hundred years old... he has been quite lax in his usual cultivation~~~ you know how it is, Your Excellency." Saint Qingyuan continued to drop hints.
"Could it be you possess a Grade A Son of Heaven bloodline?" the Sacred Supreme of Cloud Peng asked with surprise, "Our Tianrui Saint Dynasty is indeed a land of outstanding talent. Such potential, although slightly inferior to Licui, can still be deemed remarkable."
Individuals like this, if they were to inherit the Sacred Image in the future, the bloodline should reach around Grade C Saint Son, and with sufficient resources, advancing to the Mid Stage of Great Luo Saint Supreme shouldn’t be a problem.
The Sacred Supreme of Cloud Peng, having lived for so many years with extensive experience in judging people, is naturally aware of the typical cultivation level expected at different ages for various talents. His judgment does indeed align with conventional wisdom.
What he doesn’t know is that Wang Shouzhe didn’t achieve his Saint Son bloodline overnight but advanced bit by bit from a very low starting point, making it impossible to evaluate based on conventional standards.
For example, around fifty years old, he had just broken through to the Heavenly Human Realm, and it took until over a hundred years old to reach the Purple Abode.
Meanwhile, in Wang Baosheng’s family, he was born with an Innate Taoist Body, reaching the Spiritual Platform at nine, the Heavenly Human Realm at fourteen, and is estimated to reach the Purple Abode Realm around forty years old.
Even Wang Baoguang reached the Divine Power Territory just after two hundred.
This showcases the disparity created by differences in starting points and family backgrounds.
However, the Sacred Supreme of Cloud Peng, despite being tempted, was somewhat hesitant. Among his many disciples, there were not lacking in excellence, and although he hadn’t formally chosen an heir, two of them already had the potential of advancing their talents to Grade B Son of Heaven with the strong foundation provided by the Primordial Taoist Palace, meeting the qualifications to inherit the Sacred Image.
Although they aren’t as outstanding as Wang Shouzhe, they’ve followed the Sacred Supreme of Cloud Peng for a long time. While Wang Shouzhe is more exceptional, he hasn’t reached the level where Sacred Supreme could disregard past loyalty.
"Your Excellency is being shortsighted this time," Saint Qingyuan said with a beaming smile, fanning the flames further, "my younger brother Wang Shouzhe’s bloodline is likely not inferior to my younger sister Lici’s, though he is usually lax and... hehe~"
"It’s actually a Saint Son bloodline?" The Sacred Supreme of Cloud Peng exclaimed with a shiver, suddenly excited, "Do you have a Great Luo Saint Supreme-level mentor? If not, how about considering me?"
Cultivators with such unique talent like Wang Shouzhe often don’t have just one master throughout their lives; when it comes to inheriting the Dao Book, they will most likely seek another Taoist Master, which is why he only asked if Wang Shouzhe had a Great Luo Saint Supreme-level mentor, and not just any master.
Wang Shouzhe was left with mixed feelings of amusement and exasperation.
He shot a disgruntled look at Saint Qingyuan, then respectfully apologized to the Sacred Supreme of Cloud Peng: "Senior Cloud Peng, although I don’t have a Sacred Supreme-level mentor, I already have other plans and do not intend to join the Primordial Taoist Palace."
