"Hmph!?"
The divine beast Bai Ze felt unable to move even an inch, his heart greatly alarmed.
"What, little fellow, you want to leave after you're done with me~"
Ye Xuan's lips curved into an arc. "Since you've called me master, then you shall be my tenth disciple."
"Dream on, this young master is..."
Before the divine beast Bai Ze could finish, Ye Xuan directly tossed out a spatial bag. "Here are hundreds of millions of low-grade divine crystals."
"Become my disciple, and this will be your annual amount."
Gong Cangtian, "!!!"
This sudden turn of events had stunned Gong Cangtian. Good heavens, the Divine Lord's generosity was anything but ordinary.
"Thump~"
Before Gong Cangtian could ponder further, the divine beast Bai Ze had already knelt down on both knees. "Master, above all, please accept your disciple's bow."
Luo Tianyi, "..."
"Mm."
"Rise~~"
Ye Xuan gently raised his hand and helped the divine beast Bai Ze up. "From now on, you shall be called Bai Ze."
"!!!"
As these words were spoken, the divine beast Bai Ze's pupils trembled. Good heavens, this cheap master could see through his true form at a glance. Had he been tricked?
Then, Ye Xuan flipped his right hand. "This pill is called [Human Grade - God Breaking Pill]. You are currently at the peak of the fifth heaven of the God-man realm. This pill shall be your apprenticeship gift."
Ye Xuan looked at the divine beast Bai Ze meaningfully. Escaping after stuffing himself full from me was probably impossible in this lifetime. Ever since this cunning fellow appeared, Ye Xuan knew this disciple was secured.
"What!"
Upon hearing his 'Master's' words, the divine beast Bai Ze's eyes were filled with suspicion. However, thinking that there was no poison in the world that could harm him, he opened his mouth and swallowed the God Breaking Pill.
Buzz~~
Soon, the divine beast Bai Ze's cultivation advanced to the sixth heaven of the God-man realm. Undoubtedly, he was now the highest-cultivated among his disciples. After all, hailing from the Divine Realm and being the divine beast Bai Ze, such a cultivation was not surprising.
"Divine Lord, this little fellow... could his origin be extraordinary!"
Seeing his Divine Lord's series of actions, Gong Cangtian had already formed seven or eight guesses. After all, as far as he knew, his Divine Lord was not someone who would suffer a loss.
"Heh, thank you, Master."
With his cultivation breaking through, the divine beast Bai Ze was in a good mood and grudgingly accepted this master.
"Naturally."
Ye Xuan smiled faintly and glanced at the little fellow who was munching on divine crystals. "This little fellow is the legendary divine beast Bai Ze."
"What!"
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, Gong Cangtian was truly shocked. The divine beast Bai Ze... this!?
"He's actually... the legendary divine beast Bai Ze. I never thought such a being would..."
Gong Cangtian pursed his lips and sighed. He couldn't help but feel this way, as the divine beast Bai Ze was a legendary existence even in the Divine Realm, arguably rarer than the Dragon and Phoenix races in some respects.
And...
Most importantly, such a being now seemed to have been tricked into becoming a disciple by the Divine Lord. No wonder the Divine Lord was so generous, giving him hundreds of millions of low-grade divine crystals annually. This was an absolute bargain.
If the outside world were to know, let alone hundreds of millions of low-grade divine crystals annually, even hundreds of millions of mid-grade or high-grade divine crystals would cause countless factions to scramble for him.
For no other reason than this: if such a divine beast Bai Ze were to fully mature, he would likely be at least above the God Emperor realm.
The God Emperor realm!
He could only imagine such a cultivation level now. After all, even at its peak, their Qingyun Sect only reached that level.
...
Two days later.
A massive city appeared in the travelers' sight. As their celestial boat approached, the city became clearer, and on its city gates, the vigorous characters 'Han Hai Divine City' were clearly inscribed.
"Let's go~"
Ye Xuan curved his lips and, with his entourage, entered the imperial city of the Han Hai Divine Kingdom. Unbeknownst to them, due to the demise of many God King realm powerhouses from the Ning family, the entire Ning family was now in an unprecedentedly somber mood. It wasn't for any other reason than the God King ninth heaven realm powerhouse previously slain by Gong Cangtian was none other than the biological father of the current Han Hai Divine Empress, and thus the father-in-law of the Han Hai Divine Lord.
At this moment, the inspection in the Han Hai Divine City was extremely strict, undoubtedly ordered by the Han Hai Divine Lord himself. After all, the death of his father-in-law in another place was an undeniable slap in the face.
If the Ning family of Han Hai Divine City and the Han Hai Divine Kingdom were to know that the person who killed the Ning family head had truly arrived in Han Hai Divine City, one could only imagine their reactions.
"Wow~"
"This is Han Hai Divine City~~"
The divine beast Bai Ze, in the form of a child, blinked his large, shimmering eyes. This was his first time entering a human city. After all, given his identity, if discovered, he would be captured immediately.
However, the divine beast Bai Ze's aura was currently sealed by Ye Xuan with a clandestine formation, making him indistinguishable from an ordinary child, yet his strength was an astounding sixth heaven of the God-man realm.
Under Gong Cangtian's guidance, the group soon arrived at the location of the Han Hai Auction House.
"Everyone..."
Hmph!
Gong Cangtian narrowed his eyes. The next moment, an aura of the God Monarch realm permeated the air. The two God King fifth heaven realm guards immediately swallowed hard and then bowed, "Sir, please!"
"Hmph~"
"Where do we appraise the auction items?"
Gong Cangtian said in a commanding tone. In the Divine Realm, the law of the jungle was even more pronounced than in the Endless Territories, so the scene before him was not surprising.
"Sir, please follow me~"
Swallowing hard, one of the God King fifth heaven realm powerhouses dared not exhale. Making a joke, a God Monarch realm expert was someone even their Han Hai Divine Kingdom had to treat with respect, not someone a mere God King fifth heaven realm could offend.
Otherwise, if the Divine Lord found out, he would likely be cleaved into two immediately!
Seeing Gong Cangtian's imposing demeanor, the divine beast Bai Ze couldn't help but pout, clearly displeased. However, it was a fleeting expression, as he didn't want to attract the attention of a God Monarch expert, which would be of no benefit to him.
"Sir, this is the place."
Soon, the group arrived at the appraisal area of the Han Hai Auction House. It had to be said that this place was far more lavish than the Four Seas Auction House. After all, even the staff here were all experts above the third heaven of the God-man realm. Could you believe it?
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that an ordinary staff member here could easily sweep through the Endless Territories. There was no comparison between the two.
"Mm."
Gong Cangtian spoke with a commanding voice. The God King fifth heaven realm expert swallowed hard again, bowed, and then retreated. Damn it, it was too terrifying. The pressure from a God Monarch expert was suffocating him.
Sensing the arrival of a God Monarch expert, the appraisal area staff all cast admiring and respectful glances. Might makes right, and this was no exception at the Han Hai Auction House.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan smiled slightly, looking forward to this trip to the Han Hai Auction House. After all, the allure of [King Grade - God Breaking Pill] and even [Monarch Grade - God Breaking Pill] to various factions was unprecedentedly great, and he knew this better than anyone.
