Protect Our Chief-Chapter 513 - 23 Liyao Becomes a Disciple! Divine Power Zhenren_2

This this this... isn’t it a bit embarrassing?

"My disciple, Liyao, there’s no need for you to feel at a loss." The Dean said with a smile, "Every Great Celestial Pride is a treasure of the human race, the pillar of the future, and not just some insignificant person. You’re neither the first nor the last Great Celestial Pride. Throughout history, most Great Celestial Prides have had some personal attendants. If you’re strong enough, there may even be Celestial Prides willing to be your attendant. You will eventually get used to this identity. I went through the same thing in my day."

"Dean, you were also a Great Celestial Pride back then?" Wang Liyao was astonished, as if hearing it for the first time.

"You should call me Master." The Dean’s voice was very kind and approachable, "Ordinary Celestial Prides seldom grow into Divine Power Realm cultivators. Therefore, most Divine Power Realm cultivators in human history are of Great Celestial Pride origin. And every Divine Power Realm cultivator has the qualification to have their names recorded in history."

It was Wang Liyao’s first time hearing such a story, as she initially thought that the Purple Mansion Realm was already the pinnacle, but it turns out there is the majestic Divine Power Realm above it!

Moreover, being a Great Celestial Pride seems to be a prerequisite for ascending to the Divine Power Realm! For a moment, she felt her blood boiling, as if she could someday make a name for herself and become a pillar for the human race.

However, there seem to be quite a few Great Celestial Prides in the family.

Ancestor Longyan and her mother were both Great Celestial Prides...

Not only Wang Liyao, but even Wang Shouzhe felt a surge of excitement. The Divine Power Realm—it’s said to be a great power that can live for two thousand years! On Earth, they would definitely be an Immortal-level figure.

Even just to live a bit longer, Wang Shouzhe decided that at the Spirit Platform Realm, he must awaken his Spirit Body. Although it’s extremely difficult, if he waits until the Celestial Human Realm, awakening the Fifth-Order Bloodline would be as hard as reaching the heavens!

Your wife is a Great Celestial Pride, your daughter is a Great Celestial Pride, you can’t just let them watch you die of old age at eight hundred years old, can you?

Just as the father and daughter were both rather enthusiastic, the Dean continued, "As for Shang Lexian, that young man usually behaves arrogantly. Thus, he should go train overseas with the senior brothers and temper his temperament well."

Overseas?

He’s at the mid-stage of the Spirit Platform Realm, not yet sixty years old, still a child. How, how could he be sent overseas? Instantly, he nearly collapsed to the ground, sobbing, "Dean, spare me, I know I was wrong. I, I am willing to be Junior Sister Liyao’s, no no, Junior Uncle Liyao’s servant or follower."

"Haha~" The Dean sneered, "Your previous actions were seen clearly by this Academy Dean. Giving you a chance to be tempered is already doing you a favor. As for being Liyao’s follower... with your level of capability, what could you even accomplish?"

"Dean, I agree on behalf of Lexian." Shang Jiping quickly said, "This child of ours indeed needs to be tempered, and the Dean’s decision is very wise."

What a joke, the Dean is a great power of the Divine Power Realm, basically a heaven-covering presence in the entire Longzuo County. How could the small Shang Family offend such a person?

Seeing Shang Jiping being sensible, the Dean didn’t further deal with the terrified Shang Lexian. Instead, he looked amiably at Wang Liyao, "Liyao, do you think this disposition by your Master is appropriate?"

"Dean, this..." Wang Liyao said somewhat hesitantly, "Honestly, there was indeed some anger towards Elder Shang and Senior Brother Lexian. But on second thought, it’s likely the atmosphere of the Yuan Shui lineage..."

"Well said!" The Dean praised her, "It is indeed a matter of atmosphere. Weren’t you dissatisfied with the atmosphere of the Yuan Shui lineage and planned to study at Lingyun Sacred Land? In that case, why not just stay within my Yuan Shui lineage? When you reach the Celestial Human Realm, taking over as Associated Dean is just a matter of twenty or thirty years. By then, you’ll be able to properly rectify the Yuan Shui lineage’s atmosphere."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Liyao was indeed astonished. However, even more shocked was Yuan Shui Ascendant, a handsome middle-aged man whose face revealed an expression of incredulity. His Master not only intended to snatch his disciple but also planned for Liyao to inherit the future Yuan Shui lineage!

Well...

Master, didn’t you say I was your only beloved disciple back in the day?

"Um..." Wang Liyao also hurriedly shook her head and said, "Dean, this, this isn’t right. If I really stay within the Yuan Shui lineage, I should still take Yuan Shui Ascendant as my master, considering we had an understanding beforehand."

For a moment, Yuan Shui Ascendant felt warmly comforted in his old age—Liyao is indeed a considerate child.

"How can Yuan Shui do?" said the Dean, "Yuan Shui is already over six hundred years old and has barely managed to cultivate to the mid-stage Purple Mansion Realm. In this lifetime, he has little hope of reaching the Divine Power stage. Plus, even with a Longevity Pill, he can live at most another two hundred years. Whereas, I am merely fourteen hundred years old, still at the prime of life, and well cared for, I can live at least another six hundred years! Enough to protect my disciple Liyao and ensure her future achievements in the Divine Power Realm. Eventually, Liyao, you can even take over the entire Purple Mansion Academy."

For a moment, Yuan Shui Ascendant felt like crying—Master, do you have to be so practical? Before Liyao appeared, you often said it was just the two of us against the world.

But with Liyao’s emergence, the implied disdain in your words is so unabashedly clear.

"Father, what’s your opinion?" Honestly, even Wang Liyao was quite tempted by this offer, considering the Dean still has a six-hundred-year lifespan. Once accepted as a disciple, the family would have the backing of someone in the Divine Power Realm for the next six hundred years.
