Chapter 2623

"Can you teach me to cultivate?" Ding Chengpei felt a flicker of disappointment when Yan Aohan first said no, but his eyes lit up at the following words. Not caring about the cultivation world didn't mean he wasn't a cultivator. Ding Chengpei was indeed smart.

Yan Aohan glanced at Ding Chengpei and said, "I will give you a chance to see if you have the fate to let me teach you." He took out a jade pendant and handed it to Ding Chengpei. "Place it in your palm."

Ding Chengpei didn't know what the jade pendant was for, but he placed it in his palm as instructed. Instantly, in his eyes, he saw countless souls drifting by. He saw souls in a river trying to cross but unable to reach the shore. Thinking for a moment, he reached out and pulled a soul up with his bare hands.

Ding Chengpei thought he was dreaming, unaware that Yan Aohan, who was observing him, showed a flash of surprise.

The jade pendant Yan Aohan gave him was actually a trial jade. Its purpose was to reveal the deepest side of human nature. Ding Chengpei had not only saved a soul but also directly touched it, indicating a likely issue with his constitution.

Yan Aohan waved his hand, retrieving the trial jade, and then placed a crystal ball in front of Ding Chengpei. "Clear your mind, close your eyes, and place both hands on the crystal ball."

Ding Chengpei didn't know what Yan Aohan was doing. The previous scenes still left him unsettled. All he could do was follow instructions, placing his hands on the crystal ball and emptying his mind.

A beam of mixed black and white light appeared before Yan Aohan.

"Samsara Qi," Yan Aohan laughed softly. "It is truly destiny. I didn't expect to take a disciple here."

Zhu Yanyi smiled upon seeing the Samsara Qi. "Isn't this good? You gain a disciple and a successor, and Xizhong gains another helper."

Yan Aohan nodded and looked at Ding Chengpei, whose face was full of shock and doubt. "Ding Chengpei, I will ask you this only once. Are you willing to become my disciple?"

Ding Chengpei looked at Yan Aohan. "If I become your disciple, can I cultivate?"

"Yes," Yan Aohan said seriously. "Once you become my disciple, you must learn many things from me, not just cultivation."

"This disciple is willing," Ding Chengpei said. "However, when I grow up, if I find my enemies, I will still seek revenge. Please, Master, do not stop me."

"That is your business. As long as you do not violate your nature when you grow up, this Emperor does not interfere," Yan Aohan stated directly.

"Master above, this disciple Ding Chengpei kowtows to you." Ding Chengpei kowtowed three times, sincerely and without any falsehood.

Zhu Yanyi quickly took out a tea set, brewed tea, and handed it to Ding Chengpei. Ding Chengpei offered tea to Yan Aohan. Yan Aohan took a sip before introducing Zhu Yanyi. "This is your Master's wife. Offer tea to her."

"This disciple Ding Chengpei offers tea to Master's wife." Ding Chengpei carefully offered tea to Zhu Yanyi.

After drinking the tea, Zhu Yanyi gave Ding Chengpei a bottle of pills. "These are Marrow Cleansing Pills. When we settle down, I will guide you to take them. It will benefit you in the future."

"Thank you, Master's wife." Ding Chengpei kowtowed respectfully in gratitude and received the pills with both hands.

Yan Aohan looked at Ding Chengpei. "Chengpei, your Master is the Supreme Emperor of the Underworld, known as the Yan Emperor. Your Master's wife is the Yan Empress.

I am taking you as a disciple today because your innate constitution is the Samsara Yin-Yang Constitution, suitable for cultivating my techniques. It is useless for you to go to any other sect.

Moreover, my test of your character just now proved that you are suitable to live in the Underworld, which is why I took you as a disciple.

As my disciple, there are no other requirements. No matter how big the trouble, you need not worry. There is only one condition: the trouble you cause must be clear in your conscience and before heaven and earth. Under this condition, even if you break the sky, your Master will be here."

"Yes, Master, this disciple remembers." Ding Chengpei hadn't expected his Master to be the Supreme Emperor. He was happy, but thinking of his relatives, he felt a bit low-spirited. Seeing his little cousin nearby, he asked, "Master, what about my sister?"

Yan Aohan said, "Originally, I planned to send you and your sister to be adopted. But now that you are my disciple, I can also protect your sister. I happen to have a daughter, so let your sister accompany your junior sister-in-law. As for whether she will have success in the future, it depends on the path she chooses for herself."

"Thank you, Master." Ding Chengpei knew this was the best arrangement. Besides, his sister could be with his junior sister-in-law, so he wouldn't have to worry about not seeing her.

"It seems it is safer to go to the flying vessel," Zhu Yanyi said from the side.

Yan Aohan nodded. "Yes, let's go to the flying vessel. Once we confirm Zhibin is safe, we will return to our residence."

The couple and the two children returned to the flying vessel. A spatial fluctuation appeared, and the Immortal Emperor appeared on their flying mount.

Yan Aohan raised an eyebrow slightly upon seeing the Immortal Emperor. "You came at the right time." He then said to Ding Chengpei, "Chengpei, come here. This is the Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Realm. You may call him Senior Master."

"This disciple Ding Chengpei pays respects to Senior Master." Ding Chengpei hadn't expected to see the Immortal Emperor, a legendary figure.

The Immortal Emperor was stunned, looked at Ding Chengpei, and then said, "You couple are quite leisurely, having the mood to take a disciple."

"How could I not have the mood to take a disciple? This disciple has the innate Yin-Yang Samsara Constitution. If I don't take him, are you going to waste a talent?" Yan Aohan countered calmly.

"Besides, my mood has always been good. I fear it is you who should be in a bad mood. By the way, hurry up and give the meeting gift."

The Immortal Emperor glanced at Yan Aohan, sat down, and took out a ring, handing it to Ding Chengpei. "Since you call me Senior Master, I cannot be stingy. Take this storage ring. It activates with a drop of blood. There are some small items inside that I don't need, so I give them all to you."

"Thank you, Senior Master." After checking with Yan Aohan and confirming his agreement, Ding Chengpei accepted the storage ring, activated it with his blood, and put it on.

The Immortal Emperor didn't care how Ding Chengpei operated it. He only said to Yan Aohan, "You couple have caused quite a stir. Now, most cultivators in the cultivation world want to enter the mortal realm, and I have agreed. But which plane they go to must be decided by you, the Yan Emperor."
