Chapter 261: Chapter 119 Half-Zhizun Is Also Embarrassed
“Come here and channel the Heavenly Mandate Vitality.”
Interrupting his daydreaming, the Immortal Supreme pointed at the light circle in front of him.
“Yes!”
With the experience from before, Yan Sansan did not resist at all this time. He took two steps forward and extended his hand toward it.
Holding his breath this time, he was extremely cautious, afraid something unexpected would happen; but just like last time, the light circle did not move at all, showing no reaction as if it were dead.
Cold sweat on his forehead, Yan Sansan channeled the Heavenly Mandate Vitality with all his might, feeling as though he was about to crash.
“That’s enough, step down now!”
The Immortal Supreme waved his hand, his face void of expression.
“Senior, I didn’t do it right just now; let me try again…” a desperate Yan Sansan pleaded.
“No need to continue; you and I are not destined to be master and disciple. Even if you try a few more times, it will be the same,” the Immortal Supreme shook his head.
He was looking for someone who could comprehend the fate between life and death, and clearly, the other party was not suitable.
Being denied again, Yan Sansan’s face turned pale. Something crossed his mind, and his eyes fell on Zhang Xuan: “Is it not me, could it be him?”
Two disciples and a beast pet had all taken Zhou Cang and others as their mentors. Could this mentor be even more formidable?
“Would you like to give it a try?”
Seeing his gaze, the Immortal Supreme looked towards Zhang Xuan.
“No thanks, I’m not qualified to be a disciple of the senior; let’s not waste time. If the senior finds it troublesome, you might as well let the light circle cover everyone and choose on its own…”
Zhang Xuan shook his head.
A powerhouse of such level would require the Library of Heaven’s Path to consume hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Heavenly Mandate Vitality just for a single probe. After thinking over it, he decided to let it be; thus, he did not know which Heavenly Mandate the other party cultivated, nor did he know who the intended inheritor was.
“The same as others?” The Immortal Supreme appeared puzzled.
“Just now, these three seniors used the same method and have chosen their disciples…” Zhang Xuan explained.
“Uh…”
Caught red-handed, Zhou Cang and the others were full of embarrassment.
They had assumed the other party was just passing by and would leave immediately, which is why they lied. They had never anticipated that he was also here looking for a disciple…
“You’ve made your selection. I wonder which ones are so fortunate?”
The Immortal Supreme was somewhat curious.
These three, though far from his level, were also renowned figures on the mainland. To be taken as disciples by him would undoubtedly be like striking it rich.
“Step forward!”
Miao Huansheng beckoned to Wei Ruyan and the others.
“Yes!” Wei Ruyan, Luo Chong, and Dao Li stepped out from the crowd.
The Immortal Supreme curiously asked, “Taking disciples, and there’s even a pet included?”
“Cough cough…”
Zhou Cang almost choked on his own saliva and hurriedly explained: “Reporting to the Supreme, this horse is not a pet, but… my disciple!”
“Your disciple?”
The Immortal Supreme was taken aback: “The Cooking Dao Destiny is not strong in combat; it is just a vassal of the stronger destinies… You don’t have to be so reckless…”
Knowing who Zhou Cang was, he naturally knew which destiny he commanded.
“This…”
Hearing the other party belittling his “disciple,” Zhou Cang felt slightly displeased and explained, “Do not look down on Dao Li. Not only has it comprehended the Cooking Dao Destiny, but it has also broken through to the Galaxy Realm. In terms of age, it’s just five or six years old at most. Its talent is even higher than this Yan Sansan!”
“Hmm, its age is indeed young, and its cultivation time has been short. In terms of talent, Yan Sansan is indeed nothing special!”
The Immortal Supreme nodded after a glance.
Yan Sansan: “???”
What the heck, why do I get hit even when lying down?
“Yes!”
Zhou Cang agreed: “Not only that, but it has also comprehended the complete Cooking Dao Destiny. Although it is only at the Heart of Tranquil Water right now, with a little cultivation, it will surely soar to great heights.”
“It comprehended the Cooking Dao Destiny?”
The Immortal Supreme suddenly realized and fully understood: “So that’s why you chose it as your disciple… But, is it not too rash to choose a horse just for comprehending the complete Cooking Dao Destiny?”
“Rash?”
Zhou Cang shook his head: “My disciple, although not human, has a bigger size than Yan Sansan, looks more lively than Yan Sansan, and even surpasses him in talent… Choosing it as a disciple is entirely reasonable.”
Yan Sansan wanted to cry: Can you please stop bringing me up?
“That makes sense.”
The Immortal Supreme nodded.
Zhou Cang then asked, “Supreme, I have a question, if you were in my situation, how would you choose?”
“Me?”
The Immortal Supreme pondered for a moment, then chuckled lightly: “The Heavenly Mandate I practice is one of the pinnacle Heavenly Mandates in the Origin World, only the most powerful humans can comprehend it. If I were in your position and an animal like a horse or something else comprehended it… I’d rather take this Yan Sansan as my disciple than it!”
“Alright then…”
Hearing his response, Zhou Cang fell silent.
His end was near, and although it was only a horse, he had no other options to choose from. He simply hoped this creature would transform into a human sooner rather than later, so as not to embarrass him too much…
“Alright, let’s not talk about this any longer. I’ve traveled a long way, and I also want to see what this inheritor of mine looks like!”
Moving away from the topic, the Immortal Supreme smiled gently and extended his hand forward.
Buzz!
The light circle in front of them suddenly expanded, enveloping everyone present.
Luo Ruoxin, Luo Qiqi, Liu Yang, and the others were all tense, hoping to obtain his inheritance and rapidly progress.
However, after a while, the light circle did not budge and had no reaction.
“What’s going on?”
The Immortal Supreme furrowed his brow.
Theoretically, as long as someone comprehended the destiny of life and death, they would immediately absorb the light circle upon contact, creating a resonance with him. Now there was nothing; had he come to the wrong place? Had the one who could inherit his mantle not appeared?
With doubts in his heart, he expanded the light circle even further to also include Zhang Xuan, who had spoken with him earlier.
Still, there was no reaction.
“Hall Master Shi, were all the people tested earlier here?” the Immortal Supreme frowned and looked toward Shi Yunjing.
“They’re all here; no one has left…”
Shi Yunjing affirmed and was about to explain further when his eyes fell on a certain little yellow chick nearby: “Oh, and that chick wasn’t tested…”
“A chick?”
The Immortal Supreme was momentarily stunned, looking over with a displeased face: “My great path cannot be comprehended unless one has extraordinary talent. Are you telling me about a chick? It seems that after my years of absence, no one remembers my strength, allowing anyone to be blatantly rude…”
Before he could finish his sentence, the little yellow chick suddenly jumped, making contact with the light circle. In the next instant, all the strength within the light circle surged into the chick like a flood finding a release, vanishing without a trace.
The Immortal Supreme: “???”
Little Yellow Chick: “Cluck cluck cluck~~huh?”
