"Without a Master, where will you get the Sacred Image?" Cloud Peng Sacred Supreme suddenly became anxious, "Don’t let those rumors mislead you into thinking you can explore and find a Sacred Path on your own. I tell you, relying solely on the bloodline of a Grade D Saint won’t be nearly enough to forge your own Sacred Path!""Every Sacred Path is either a groundbreaking route paved by generations of extraordinary talents or a branch derived from the Dao Book. Unless you’re a born Taozi, maybe you can carve out a Sacred Path without a Sacred Image, but you would likely exhaust a lifetime of effort."
"But that’s such a waste of talent. If you were a born Taozi, even the Taoist Master would beg to take you as a disciple. Living a hundred and thirty-six thousand years wouldn’t sound appealing?"
Cloud Peng Sacred Supreme rambled on with only one purpose: to persuade Wang Shouzhe to become his disciple.
Putting aside the boundless potential of such a disciple, which could rejuvenate this lineage’s Holy Island, the immediate gratification of taking a Saint as a disciple would surely cause Cloud Peng Sacred Supreme to rise to prominence in an instant.
Not to mention, simply touring around with his disciple to pay respects to various Sacred Supremes would garner countless gifts.
He could even imitate Sea of Clouds Sacred Supreme, taking his disciple to fleece the Taoist Master.
In short, he could walk the path already tread by Sea of Clouds Sacred Supreme again.
He’s not good with innovation, but he knows how to copy homework, doesn’t he?
"Well..." Wang Shouzhe sighed helplessly, "Thank you for your kindness, Elder Cloud Peng, but I have no plans to apprentice myself for now. Besides, I’m afraid my attributes might not align with your Sacred Image."
Even without in-depth understanding, he could guess that Cloud Peng Sacred Supreme’s lineage probably requires a certain bloodline compatibility with the Sacred Image.
"What does it matter if the attributes don’t match? Just change your cultivation. Besides, our family’s Tian Peng sacred map isn’t rooted in attribute Sacred Path. Whether your Dharma Shadow is a flying or running beast, even a Sea Beast would be fine. Once you cultivate the divine skills within the Tian Peng sacred map to their peak level, you can transform your physical body into a thousand-foot True Heavenly Peng Body, soaring instantly over thousands of miles. It’s the best choice whether you’re fighting or fleeing," Cloud Peng Sacred Supreme continued to coax relentlessly, "Shouzhe, don’t miss this heaven-sent opportunity."
He understood that someone with Wang Shouzhe’s bloodline talent would definitely attract competition from various Sacred Supremes without disciples once he reached the Primordial Taoist Palace. Then he, Cloud Peng Sacred Supreme, would have no advantage.
He had to capitalize on the proximity advantage and win over Wang Shouzhe first.
As for those two beloved disciples with Class C Son of Heaven bloodline who had left him hesitating, they’d been completely forgotten. What were their names again?
"Elder Cloud Peng, for the time being, I really have no intention to apprentice," Wang Shouzhe replied helplessly.
An eminent force like the Primordial Taoist Palace, although unlike the Immortal Palace, maintains a strong sense of independence. The rules within the palace are numerous, and once someone becomes part of the Tao Palace, they are considered palace members permanently and can no longer assume the role of Clan Leader.
As the Family Head, joining the Tao Palace is impractical, not to mention he is accustomed to being laid-back. As long as there’s an option, he certainly wouldn’t choose to join the Tao Palace.
"Perhaps, you could propose some conditions?" Cloud Peng Sacred Supreme persists, "As long as it’s within my power, I will make no objections."
"Elder." Nearby, Saintess Water Moon couldn’t hold back and whispered, "Have you ever considered an alternative—Wang Shouzhe might have a throne to inherit in his own family... He may not necessarily think highly of your Tian Peng sacred map?"
!!!
Cloud Peng Sacred Supreme froze.
This comment felt like a wake-up call.
He immediately appeared somewhat disoriented: "So that’s it, that’s it~~ No wonder someone with Shouzhe’s level of bloodline talent wouldn’t appear so casually..."
This was akin to finally encountering a super goddess, only to be told immediately after confessing that she already has someone in her heart, not even giving the chance to pursue...
"Elder Cloud Peng, how about this..." Seeing him like this, Wang Shouzhe felt apologetic and pondered a bit before saying, "Later on, I can introduce you to a disciple with bloodline talent comparable to mine?"
Although he cannot apprentice himself, there are qualified people back home. At worst, he can find someone when he returns.
Cloud Peng Sacred Supreme saw it as Wang Shouzhe comforting him and managed a strained smile, waving his hand, "Alright then, I’ll wait for you to introduce someone to me."
After saying this, he didn’t feel like staying any longer, promptly getting up to bid farewell to Wang Shouzhe and left the Heaven Void Cloud Boat, packing the brewed Immortal Tea to enjoy at home.
After Cloud Peng Sacred Supreme had left, Wang Shouzhe gave a severe glare to Saint Qingyuan and Saintess Water Moon: "You two are always causing trouble for me."
"Shouzhe, dear brother, you can’t blame me..." Saint Qingyuan coughed helplessly, "Had it not been for Lici, Cloud Peng Sacred Supreme wouldn’t always find faults with me. I’m just a mere Saint and can’t withstand his constant harassment. You sharing some of the burden is quite right."
"I did it for your own good." Saintess Water Moon chuckled, "I heard Prince Wen Yu from Tianrui Saint Dynasty has been bothering you recently. I found you a backup to rely on, so he doesn’t act too recklessly."
