Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 461

Chapter 461: Chapter 463 Rejection [3/7]

Watching the expressions of the people around him, Yin Fengxue sneered with disdain. These people, Immortal Seekers just like me, are so immersed in Cultivation, seeking immortality, and chasing personal gain every day that they’ve long forgotten the ancient saying: "One cannot judge a person by their appearance, just as one cannot measure the sea with a bucket."

Wu Tian appeared frail, lacking even the strength to truss a chicken, but that was no true measure of his power. In Yin Fengxue’s opinion, Wu Tian’s strength was nearly on par with the absolute pinnacle of the Immortal Seekers.

Lin Fa noticed Yin Fengxue’s expression and chuckled. If Dad hadn’t seen Wu Tian in action himself, he’d probably hold the same ignorant views as these people.

"Brother Yin, is it not good for me to take him as my disciple?" the Heavenly King asked from the main seat, his voice firm and compelling. If I consume Wu Tian and absorb the Spirit Root inside his body, my power will surge dramatically. Then, it won’t be difficult for the Eastern Taizhong Palace to defeat the Heavenly Demon Palace.

"With all due respect, Heavenly King," Yin Fengxue said, "I think you should ask for his opinion first. Surely you can’t just decide someone is your disciple simply because you wish it, can you?"

The Heavenly King nodded in agreement. He didn’t think he would be refused and was confident Wu Tian would accept. His gaze fixed intently on Wu Tian as he said with a gentle smile, "Wu Tian, if you become my disciple, then when my time comes to pass, I will transfer all of my Yuan Force to you."

BOOM!

The statement hit the crowd like a bomb. To transfer one’s Yuan Force to another before death would subject the giver to immense pain, resulting in the utter annihilation of their soul. Some ancient Cultivation records even stated that one who did this could never be reborn.

No one had expected the Heavenly King would make such an offer to convince Wu Tian to become his disciple. How could this be possible? After all, even a dying father would be unwilling to endure such agony to transfer his Yuan Force to his own son. Yet the Heavenly King made such an offer? How... how could this be possible?

At that moment, everyone in the great hall stared at Wu Tian in unison. They couldn’t see anything special about him beyond his handsome features. What was it that made Yin Fengxue take notice of him and prompted the Heavenly King to make such a monumental decision?

Dong Bai also found it strange. He respected his master greatly, but he knew his master was not a selfless or generous person who put others before himself.

"You may answer me now," the Heavenly King said, before being unable to resist adding, "Of course, think it over carefully. An opportunity like this is incredibly rare, a chance that comes once in a thousand lifetimes."

Feeling the gaze of the Heavenly King and the stares of the people around him, Wu Tian sneered with disdain. "First, I couldn’t care less about the position of next Palace Master of the Eastern Taizhong Palace.

"Second, I have no interest in your lifetime’s worth of Yuan Force.

"Third, you, Heavenly King, are not worthy to stand before me and be called my master.

"Have I made myself clear?"

BOOM!

As Wu Tian finished speaking, the entire hall exploded into a chaotic uproar. Everyone, from the disciples of the Eastern Taizhong Palace to the other guests, could hardly believe what they had just heard.

Wu Tian’s words were arrogant! His speech was outrageous! None of the people present, not even the leaders of the various sects, had ever encountered someone so brazenly insolent! What was the Heavenly King’s status? What was this place? What kind of birthday banquet was this? How could Wu Tian dare to act this way?

Everyone thought he had to be insane. Not only was he arrogant, but he had also rejected such an incredible offer! This man wasn’t just insane; he was an idiot.

"Haha, that’s simple enough," the Heavenly King said, feigning agreeability. "Stay behind after the banquet, and I will give them to you." As soon as he stays, I’ll extract his Spirit Root! I can’t delay any longer. I can’t let anyone else get their hands on Wu Tian and that other little one.
