“Bao’er, Foxy, you saw it. Danger lurks at every corner once you step out. Death hides in the shadows, ready to take your life at the slightest distraction. It was fortunate for me to have come to the Continent Assembly, for no one would’ve survived otherwise.”
Chen Changan sighed. “As such, you are too weak and need to cultivate hard once we return.”
Ling Bao’er nodded. “Master is right. We’re very much weak. I’m at Nascent Soul Stage yet unworthy to be spared a glance from Upper Realm Immortals.”
The Malignant Spirit forces were only repelled by the grace of her Master bestowing Immortal Equipment on her.
Ling Bao’er steeled her gaze. “Master, I’ll enter seclusion once we are back home.”
“Good.” Chen Changan approved.
Foxy bunched up her little fist.
Xiao Hei’s fear has yet to abate. [Thank the Heavens Young Master was here, or everyone here would’ve died.]
The nine Lords came over. “Senior.”
They bowed in respect and deference. All the survivors were grateful to Chen Changan for saving them. All that would’ve been left of them were stiff corpses if it were not for him.
Immortal Slayer? What of it? Elder of some Province Cauldron? Ha!
They were nothing against a True Immortal.
“What is it?” Chen Changan wanted to look for Ming He to chat about his Master before returning to Soaring Immortal Mountain.
There was no point lingering at the Continent Assembly after what transpired.
The Lords discussed and decided to let the Mist Province Lord speak. He bowed, “We have Senior to thank for saving our lives with your timely intervention. You have our deepest gratitude, Senior. We discussed how to show our appreciation and settled on giving you the cauldrons.”
Mist Province Lord had every cultivator shocked. They stared wide-eyed at the Lords’ decision and perked their ears to hear more.
The cultivators knew what their decision meant. Chen Changan would combine them into the Nine Province Cauldron and rule over the continent as the Heavenly Dao Protector.
Shock aside, it all made sense. Chen Changan was the strongest and had experience killing Immortals.
The Lords were nothing to Chen Changan. That meant taking the cauldrons to become Heavenly Dao Protector, if he so wished, could not be easier.
It was a sensible choice to give him the cauldrons.
Chen Changan gapped on the inside, though his honed acting skills and poker face had reached Mastery, not twitching even if the sky fell. The possibility of Lording over the lives of billions was hardly something to fuss over.
“Why?” Chen Changan asked.
“Senior’s strength is boundless. The Nine Province Cauldron is what Sir deserves.”
“There’s only one person on the entire Nine Province Continent worthy of becoming Heavenly Dao Protector, and that’s Senior.”
“Yes, Senior saved our lives, and we’re willing to offer Senior the Nine Province Cauldron, in the hope that Sir becomes Nine Province Continent’s Heavenly Dao Protector.”
“It is Nine Province Continent’s great fortune to have someone as virtuous as Senior for a Heavenly Dao Protector. Far better to be Senior than some Upper Realm Immortal.”
The Lords took out their cauldrons. The items glittered in different lights, overflowing with great power.
The Lords’ minds were made up.
A slight nod from Chen Changan would have them erase their mark on the cauldrons.
Chen Changan had to admit that the enticing cauldrons drew his desire.
It was only natural.
Chen Changan was giddy on the inside.
Wielding the Nine Province Cauldron made him the Heavenly Dao Protector and ruler of the Nine Province Continent.
He was absolute within the Absolute Domain, and, by going out of it, as he wielded Heavenly Dao, would he not be absolute everywhere as well?
Chen Changan opened his mouth, just as the flat mechanical voice of the System echoed in his mind.
<Detecting host wielding the Nine Province Cauldron (Heavenly Dao Inheritance), updating conditions to upgrade Absolute Domain to v5.0.>
<1: The host needs to have a disciple earning the Nine Province Cauldron’s approval and becoming Heavenly Dao Protector.>
<2: The host needs a million Domain Points.>
<Upgrading the System to v5.0 activated the Ruler of Life and Death trait.>
Chen Changan squinted, his eyes flashing.
[System, can’t I become a Heavenly Dao Protector just by having the Nine Province Cauldron? Why do I need its approval?]
<Heavenly Dao is aware. Not just anyone can become a Heavenly Dao Protector.>
[Don’t I fit the part? Why must it be a disciple?]
The cold voice of the System replied,
<Assessment concludes that the host has garbage talent, unfit to gain its approval.
[You’re the garbage!]
