Chapter 477 (2/2)

Gong Feng could only listen, dumbstruck. She couldn’t comprehend the meaning behind this conversation between Xue Ying and the Bloodshed God Emperor.

Monarch Extermination? He should take note of him? Did teacher put Xue Ying on the same standing as Monarch Extermination, just like that? Nine hundred years to become a stage one World Deity? He only revealed himself after breaking through to become a stage two World Deity? Caution? Patience?

This…this is just… Gong Feng couldn’t organize her thoughts. When did the Bloodshed God Emperor ever teach his disciples with such attentiveness. He would usually give them some simple pointers before summarily asking them to leave.

Did Dong Bo really become a stage two World Deity? She didn’t want to believe it, but she couldn’t deny it after hearing them say it so clearly. There was no way that His Majesty would be lying. He’s only been cultivating for such a short period of time, though… Even a grade one True Meaning Transcendent usually needs about three thousand years to become a World Deity, and they’d only reach stage two within ten thousand years. No, this Dong Bo Xue Ying really is a grade one True Meaning Transcendent, and a very formidable one at that!

This was the first time she heart about Xue Ying having condensed his grade one Deity Heart within just nine hundred years of cultivation.

“From today, you are my personal disciple,” the Bloodshed God Emperor said, out of the blue.

“Yes, teacher.” Xue Ying had already guessed this might happen, but he was still excited to hear it. He was, after all, the master of Crimson Rock Mountain, so he understood how good his his cultivation speed really was; it was still quite rare, however, for the Bloodshed God Emperor to take a personal disciple. In fact, it was so rate that, in the current era, his only personal disciples were the long-lived Monarch Gu Zang and Monarch Green! He was now the only World Deity under the personal tutelage of the Bloodshed God Emperor.

“My greetings to Elder Brother,” a voice sounded from the side.

Xue Ying glanced toward Gong Feng who was now showing utmost respect.

The rules set in place by the Bloodshed God Emperor were very strict.

There was a difference of night and day between his personal disciples, his inner disciples, and his honorary disciples. All of these groups held vastly differing statuses.

“Gong Feng, you can go back now,” the Bloodshed God Emperor ordered.

“Yes, teacher,” Gong Feng obediently retreated.

Gong Feng was starting to feel uneasy as soon as she left the garden. How can this be true? Xue Ying was actually this powerful? This… how could such a thing happen? Now that he became a personal disciple, Xue Ying held a much loftier position, perhaps only lower than his majesty himself, and while personal disciples had no direct authority over the inner and honorary disciples, Xue Ying still had plenty of ways to deal with her. Such punishments like directly kicking her out of Crimson Stone Courtyard were not impossible.

The Bloodshed God Emperor had been delegating tasks to Gong Feng to finish, even putting her in charge of Crimson Stone Courtyard itself—which gave her a somewhat decent position. She was, in fact, even higher in position than the stage Three World Deity guards, while her clan had used that position to flourish. However, if she were to offend one of His Majesty’s personal disciples and end up being chased from Crimson Stone Courtyard, everyone she or her clansmen offended in the past would definitely come back to get revenge.

What should I do? I have to find some way…there must be some way to salvage this situation! Gong Fengwas filled with anxiety.

Xue Ying was standing respectfully before his teacher.

It was only after Gong Feng left that the Bloodshed God Emperor said, “As my personal disciple, I will not treat you any different than the others. Just as the rest of my personal disciples, you will receive the same opportunity to learn an absolute art.”

Xue Ying’s eyes sparkled.

Absolute art?

“The absolute art you will receive has yang and firm characteristics. Its potential is matchless, its might comparable with Monarch Green’s “Mountain World”absolute art,” the Bloodshed God Emperor explained. Xue Ying excitement reached a peak when he heard that it was as powerful as the “Mountain World”.

“Don’t be too happy just yet. I am imparting this absolute art to you, but what level you can reach in it is ultimately up to you. Over my long lifespan, I have received several personal disciples, but out of all of them, only Monarch Green and Gu Zang succeeded in becoming powerful existences. The absolute art I imparted to Gu Zang was not the slightest bit inferior to the one Monarch Green received, but even though he diligently practiced it, he still couldn’t reach a level comparable to Monarch Green,” the Bloodshed God Emperor explained.

“Your disciple understands,” Xue Ying assented.

“Other than the absolute art which I imparted to him, Green got his hands on another absolute art from the Library House. Although he has two absolute arts, he still proved more proficient in the”Mountain World”. All absolute arts are powerful, but that doesn’t mean they’re all suitable for you, and neither is it the case that your power will necessarily increase as the number of absolute arts you own increases.

“Of course, I’m giving you an absolute art that’s most suitable for you. You’ve already received two secret arts from the two worlds within the Sealed World Pagoda. Those two are both parts of the absolute art I’m imparting to you—small, scattered parts from it. Absolute arts are sought after by all World Deities, and they will even influence their Deity Heart.

“In any case, I can’t so easily hand the absolute art over to you. In order to receive it, you must first pass a test,” the Bloodshed God Emperor stated.

Xue Ying understood this to be an incredible opportunity. Just by passing a test, he would receive an absolute art. “Teacher, what kind of test is it?”

“It’s very simple. In the mountain beside Crimson Stone Courtyard, you will find a prison. The only thing you must do is kill the prisoner locked inside that prison. Do that, and you will receive the absolute art,” the Bloodshed God Emperor said with faint smile.
