Chapter 380: Chapter 349: Accepting Wang Lin as a Disciple! Silence Appears!
"L...Little Wang Lin, greets all the Immortal Elders!"
Thud!
Wang Lin’s knee bent, and he instantly knelt on one knee, hurriedly clasping his hands in salute.
His face, which had just been filled with joy, immediately turned pale again, beads of sweat forming on his forehead as his heart trembled to the extreme.
He couldn’t help but think to himself that things weren’t looking good. Climbing Ziwei Mountain in the middle of the night, these Immortal Elders probably thought he was up to no good, like a thief or a scoundrel, right?
Now, not to mention being admitted as a disciple of Ziwei Mountain, he feared even his own life couldn’t be spared.
He couldn’t help but bitterly smile inside, questioning why the heavens were toying with him like this, giving him a glimmer of hope only to kick him back down to the bottom?
For a moment, Wang Lin’s mind raced, letting out a long sigh in his heart.
However.
Just as he thought he was about to face stern rebuke and punishment, even prepared for death.
"Your Highness the Holy Son, please rise quickly!!"
"What is Your Highness the Holy Son doing?"
"Hahaha, Your Highness, do not panic. We have been waiting for you here!"
He saw those figures, usually so high and mighty like celestial beings, suddenly step forward smiling kindly, helping him up with faces full of benevolent smiles.
"Ah...?"
Wang Lin’s mouth dropped open, his expression instantly vacant.
"Holy Son? Where is this Holy Son?"
With a bewildered face, Wang Lin hurriedly looked at the empty cliff behind him, then quickly stood aside, nervously asking:
"A...All Immortal Elders, could you have mistaken me? I’m but a humble farmer outside Lin’an City, how could I be the Holy Son?"
Seeing this, the Peak Master Elders exchanged glances and couldn’t help but chuckle.
Elder Zhaoguang laughed out loud and said:
"You are the true disciple personally appointed by the Patriarch of our Ziwei Chen Family. If you’re not the Holy Son, then who is?"
Elder Guichen also nodded with a smile and said, "Humble origins? You are the chief disciple of our Master of the Ziwei Star. In terms of status, across the entire East Profound Domain, there are few with a status like yours, who dares to say you are humble?"
Wang Lin was utterly dumbfounded, standing there dazed, his mind slightly dizzy.
If such immense wealth fell on someone else’s head, they would have been overjoyed, but after Wang Lin realized it, his heart sank in panic.
"All Immortal Elders, I’m of humble birth and a life as insignificant as an ant, how could I know such a mythical figure as the Master of the Ziwei Star? You’ve truly mistaken me! To be honest with you all, I do know a Snow-Haired Immortal Elder from the Ziwei Chen Family, and the Elder did indeed promise to take me as a disciple if I could climb this peak, but that was not the Patriarch..."
"A sincere heart indeed." The Elders all nodded slightly in their hearts upon hearing this.
While Wang Lin was anxiously explaining.
"What? Being my disciple, does it wrong you, Wang Lin?"
A voice, half-smiling, rang out.
"The Snow-Haired Immortal Elder?!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Wang Lin’s face was instantly filled with joy, trying to squeeze past the crowd of Peak Master Elders to find the Snow-Haired Immortal Elder.
"Immortal Elder, you finally came, please tell them, I’m not the Hol..."
Halfway through the words, they came to an abrupt halt.
Wang Lin widened his eyes, looking at the snow-white figure with white hair cascading down, an incomparable young face.
Under the full moon, the white-haired, white-clothed figure sat cross-legged, the pure and lustrous moonlight shining on his face, making him look as beautiful as a Banished Immortal from the mortal world, like a god rather than a human.
This beauty wasn’t the androgynous beauty of a girlish face, but a sharply defined, deep-featured, chiseled handsomeness, an unparalleled, flawless elegance.
Perhaps because of his prominent features, the whole person exuded an imposing majesty and sharp aggressiveness.
Especially those long, narrow eyes which seemed to have brilliant celestial light flickering, like a god rather than a human, making it hard for others to look directly.
Thud!
"Little Wang Lin, pays respects to the Master of the Ziwei Star!"
Suddenly, Wang Lin knelt with a loud bang, making a deep bow in respect.
He stealthily glanced at Chen Zhixing before him with the corner of his eye, watching as the previous image of the snow-haired elder overlapped with the Master of the Ziwei Star, finally merging into one figure.
"Boy, aren’t you going to call him Master?" Chen Tianchen tapped Wang Lin on the head from the side.
Wang Lin shivered all over and once again stole a glance at Chen Zhixing. Seeing a smile at the corner of Chen Zhixing’s mouth, he immediately snapped to attention, joyfully exclaiming:
"Disciple Wang Lin, greets Master!!!"
"Good." Chen Zhixing smiled slightly.
At the same time.
[Ding! You have accepted a Celestial Chosen Protagonist as a disciple, and you will receive a portion of their fortune and talent abilities!]
[Your initial Fortune Value is 2500%, increased by 500%! Total Fortune Value is 3000%!]
[Your title: Myriad Creations!]
[Your Pure Land Dojo level: lv.2]
[You have acquired: Seed of Cause and Effect Tao! (Would you like to activate it?)]
A series of system notifications suddenly echoed in Chen Zhixing’s mind.
"As expected, he is one of the Celestial Chosen Protagonists! Moreover, just by accepting a disciple, I’ve gained 500 Fortune Value; Wang Lin’s Fortune Value is likely not less than Little One’s!"
A glint flashed in Chen Zhixing’s eyes, and further...Wang Lin hasn’t even begun cultivation, so why does he possess the Seed of Cause and Effect Tao?
Having faced so many Celestial Chosen Protagonists, he had already roughly figured out the so-called ’rewards.’
The usual rewards are generally randomly drawn from what the Celestial Chosen Protagonist currently possesses.
For example, the Sword Tao Talent when killing Ye Chen; supreme divine techniques, Palm Thunder Prison when killing Lin Feng; the Life Book when killing Ning Changyu, and so forth.
But Wang Lin hasn’t even started cultivating, how could he trigger the Seed of Cause and Effect Tao as a reward?
The Cause and Effect Tao is considered one of the top Great Tao Laws among the Three Thousand Tao, barely inferior to the Life and Death Tao that Chen Zhixing comprehends!
"Hmm? How can a Celestial Chosen Protagonist have such an ordinary Fate..."
As Chen Zhixing’s eyes narrowed with some doubt.
Suddenly.
In the depths of Chen Zhixing’s pupils, an unprecedented turn of the ancient golden book appeared!
He lowered his head and glanced into the Life Book at Wang Lin, and the book turned its pages as well.
[Wang Lin.]
[Profound Gray Fate: Mediocre Aptitude]
"Hmm? How can a Celestial Chosen Protagonist have such an ordinary fate..."
Just as Chen Zhixing’s eyes gradually narrowed in suspicion.
suddenly --!!!
In the depths of his Sea of Consciousness, an unprecedented sudden page turn in the Life Book occurred!
On that page, appeared a black-clothed, black-haired figure sitting cross-legged, surrounded by the still river of time.
Immense bodies of Innate Chaos Divine Demon corpses quietly floated behind him, while blood dripped lifelessly into the void!
Strands of Chaos Purple Qi descended, shrouding his form, and immortal light naturally appeared around him, as if he were an Upper Immortal King.
It seemed that this figure, in black clothes and black hair, seated at the end of time, had perceived something and slowly raised his head, looking towards Chen Zhixing.
Boom!!!
Instantly, the gaze from that black-haired, black-clad figure, as if detached from worldly time, bore an eternal coldness and indifference.
"I am Silence, who dares...to interfere with the Causality Line?"
A moment later, the image on the Life Book collapsed with a bang!
The Life Book itself even made a jarring crack, manifesting a glaring rift!
Chen Zhixing’s pupils shrank violently, his mind instantly reeling.
