"With this knowledge, you will be able to survive. Although you can withstand my divine power, your mortal body is too weak now. You have to slowly adapt to the new environment there."
"Your heart is weak and you often get sick from the heart attack, which almost costs your life, but don’t worry. After you start to absorb the spiritual power, this disease will vanish. That’s the power of practice."
"To practice immortality, you need to have a spiritual root. You don’t have any spiritual roots now, but I happened to have a pill from the Immortal Realm that could change your physical body." The old man handed Jun Mu Yang a round crystal pill about the size of a small candy 🍬.
"Because you helped me buy the cotton candies, I’ll offer you a chance. Would you like to be my disciple?" The old man asked.
"Why do you help me?" Instead of responding to the old man’s question, he asked.
"Firstly, you didn’t look down on me just because I’m dirty and poor. Secondly, I hate them." The old man scoffed coldly.
"You keep mentioning ’them’; who are they?" Jun Mu Yang squinted his eyes. Blood has long stopped falling.
"Young man, don’t you know that it’s rude to ignore the elder’s question?" Although the old man complained, he still answered his question.
"It will take a lot of time to explain who they are. In short, they are everywhere, and their identities are unknown. I used ’they’ because I think that a person alone cannot create chaos in the world. Unless some people unite with each other." The old man stroked his white and long beard.
"How are you so sure that they are the ones who created the chaos?"
"If I’m not immortal, my hair will really turn white because of your non-stop questioning." The old man rolled his eyes.
"You have white hair." Jun Mu Yang pointed at the old man’s white hair.
The old man, "...."
"How can I not know that they are the ones behind the mess in the world? Do you think that everyone under the sky is ignorant? Some immortals and gods are already aware that someone behind the scenes is pulling the string for some reason. Unfortunately, we cannot find out who yet."
"And because of the mess in all nine realms, I escaped and planned to live a simple life here. Who knows? You and this girl broke my peace, and I happened to see that this girl is very special. I can see that she has very good luck. Maybe she can help us in the future." The old man rubbed his sore forehead.
"If not because I am immortal and I can only live in the immortal realm, I don’t even want to step into those realms and see those hypocritical people at all." The old man patted his thigh in anger, which looked very childish.
"Old man, who are you exactly? You kept boasting that you are immortal, but the way that you speak is far behind what an immortal should have known." Jun Mu Yang squinted his eyes at him.
"What do you know? I’m a god, alright! I’m from the Deity Realm! Opsss!!!" The old man hurriedly covered his mouth, and he was so mad that he was tricked by Jun Mu Yang.
"So your real identity is God." Alright, I will be your disciple. I want to be with Yue, and I will absolutely find her." Jun Mu Yang nodded.
"Good good!" The old man nodded in satisfaction. However, soon, he stomped the ground childishly when he realised that he had been tricked again.
Why did it sound like he was begging this young man to be his disciple? Shouldn’t this young man be happy and beg him to accept him as his disciple?
"Disciple pays respect to the master." Before the old man could figure it out, Jun Mu Yang kneeled and called him.

Yue, wait for me. I’ll go to you soon.
