The nine cauldrons flickered with astonishing light and power.
All awaited for Chen Changan to take them, even hoping that he’d become Nine Province Continent’s Heavenly Dao Protector.
Chen Changan’s words left them stunned. “I’ll accept them for now.”
“Senior, you don’t want to refine them?”
“Combining them will make one Nine Province Continent’s Heavenly Dao Protector!”
“Senior doesn’t want to?”
Chen Changan smiled. “I have no interest in something so weak.”
Everyone gasped in shock. [He has no interest in becoming Heavenly Dao Protector?!]
Everyone was envious and jealous. Maybe because Nine Province Continent was just that an insignificant Lower Realm.
The Upper Realm had to have countless Immortal Domains, each world above this Nine Province Continent.
[Senior has the power to make light work of Immortals; that means he must be a powerful figure in the Upper Realm.]
[Why then would he lower himself to become Nine Province Continent’s Heavenly Dao Protector?]
The Lords still erased their marks, and the cauldrons’ glow dimmed.
The others were curious as to whom Chen Changan would give them to become the Heavenly Dao Protector.
Luck had it that this Avatar had some cultivation and could put his mark on the cauldrons.
The cauldrons shone with a blinding light and combined to become a nine-coloured cauldron. He felt his connection with it in his mind.
Chen Changan squinted, and just like the System said, he did not get Heavenly Dao’s approval.
[This great treasure of the continent has literally become a glorified paperweight! It’s no different from garbage! Still, I wonder if Bao’er can use it.]
His talent was garbage, but not Bao’er or Foxy’s.
[It would be a cinch for them to get approval, no?]
“Bao’er, give the Nine Province Cauldron a try.” Chen Changan handed it over to Ling Bao’er.
The System told him that even if he was its owner, once the cauldron met with someone it approved, his mark would be erased.
One should always keep things in the family. It was natural for Chen Changan to pick someone on his side if they could wield it.
More importantly, it needed to be a disciple of him specifically to gain its approval for the upgrade.
Ling Bao’er held the cauldron in curiosity, though no approval came. Next were Foxy and Xiao Hei, with the same result.
[Neither Foxy nor Ling Bao’er’s talents are enough, huh?] Chen Changan frowned. He thought the girls more than fit the bill to earn Heavenly Dao’s approval.
The cultivators were curious about what Chen Changan was up to.
He put the cauldron away, sending it to Soaring Immortal Mountain through Mirage.
Back home, a nine-coloured cauldron appeared, bathing the world in its resplendent light. It started sucking up Immortal Energy from everywhere like it was alive.
Chen Changan’s Avatar said, “I’ll keep the Nine Province Cauldron for now, though I’ve no interest in becoming the Heavenly Dao Protector.”
One cultivator asked, “Senior, what about the cauldron?”
Chen Changan pondered, “I’ve come up with the perfect solution. One month from now, Soaring Immortal Mountain will hold a disciple contest for the purpose of taking in a disciple. The one to become my disciple will wield the Nine Province Cauldron. Becoming Heavenly Dao Protector is only natural.”
That was explosive news!
All cultivators got fired up. None expected Chen Changan to come up with this idea!
Their jaws dropped and gapped in disbelief. Then ambition burned hotter than hell in their eyes.
Soaring Immortal Mountain was taking in a disciple. All of Nine Province Continent would shake at the news!
It was not just about being Chen Changan’s disciple, but also wielding the Nine Province Cauldron and becoming Heavenly Dao Protector. That meant ruling the Nine Province Continent!
It would cause many geniuses to go mad with desire.
The enchantress heard it as well, her perfect eyes are shining with hope.
“His cultivation is unfathomable, definitely a supreme Celestial Immortal. Once Seventh Princess absorbs the Immortal Mark, her talent will make her stand out above all others in the competition. She will not only become a Celestial Immortal’s disciple but also the Heavenly Dao Protector.”
Bai Yue had finished absorbing the mark, her bearing different from before.
It was like she became a celestial fairy, above the secular world, its strife and suffering. What was more, an Immortal air was about her, her cultivation soaring with the seal put on her body having been released.
Bai Yue reached Spirit Severing in moments.
The enchantress cheered, “Seventh Princess, you’re awake.”
Bai Yue smiled, “Mei Niang, thank you.”
