Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree
Chapter 414 - 190: Prayer, Bet

Lin Tantian, upon hearing Gu Chensha still humiliating their lineage, laughed angrily in response:

"Is the threshold for the Sealing King just to see that person? What an arrogant claim, not even those at the Sealing King Peak are qualified to say so! Could it be that your disciple has already obtained the qualification to challenge the Taboo Gate?!"

The Great Red Sky Palace's accession to the rank of the Eighth Palaces, becoming the Ninth Palace, was merely an event from a few thousand years ago.

Compared to the long history of the Eight Palaces, this period was just the beginning.

The civilizations that pledged allegiance to the Great Red Sky Palace were few and far between; there were only a handful of second-tier civilization forces.

And with the foundation and bloodline physique of a second-tier civilization, the most outstanding talents produced were no more than Sealing Kings.

Only the foundation of a first-tier civilization and their heritage system could nurture someone who surpassed the Sealing King to reach the Sealing King Peak.

In theory, the domain of the Sealing King is the ultimate realm that the True Seed Realm could step into, but due to factors such as racial talent and Secret Techniques, some Sealing King Martial Artists have combat power far ahead of other Sealing Kings, touching the extreme boundary of this domain's power.

To distinguish these overpowered fighters, the so-called "Sealing King Peak" was born.

For a first-tier civilization, such Heavenly Pride Martial Artists were also extremely rare; it was quite impressive to have one in each generation.

Under the governance of the Nine Palaces, there were less than ten first-tier civilizations. The other Eight Palaces had their share; the Great Red Sky Palace didn't stand a chance.

Faced with Lin's questioning, Gu Chensha remained calm as usual, simply shaking his head.

Ji Jingqiu has now stepped into the threshold of the Taboo.

The Great Red Sky Palace did not intend to publicize this matter, but it also did not plan to deliberately conceal it.

If to blame, one should blame Lin brother for his too meager imagination, who, even guessing desperately, could only come up with "qualification to challenge the Taboo Sequence."

But one can't really blame Lin brother.

After all, the Taboo Sequence is an existence that goes beyond normal standards.

Gu Chensha's thoughts fluctuated, thinking of his disciple Ji, somewhat wanting to send the guest away.

During this period, he and a few other senior disciples, along with several Master Uncles, could be said to have thoroughly "researched" Ji Jingqiu.

Seeing Gu Chensha's shake of the head, Lin Tantian immediately wanted to mock him in return, but remembering the juniors behind him, he could only "endure humiliation and bear the burden," suppressing his anger, and said in a deep voice:

"Master Gu, today you lend me, Lin Tantian, a place at the Great Red Sky Palace; if there's anything in the future, just call upon me. If Lin Tantian frowns even a little, I don't deserve a good death!"

Hearing these words, the young man Lu Zhen behind him was greatly shocked, moved beyond words by the Ancestor Master's declaration.

He gritted his teeth and stood out: "Both Ancestor Masters, I am willing to become that Ancestor Master's follower, it would be my juniors' good fortune to accompany the Ancestor Master on the Ancient Road!"

He stressed that although his age was similar to the respected one, by hierarchy, he was an Ancestor Master. Being a junior, following by the Ancestor Master's side, there was no shame to talk of.

Gu Chensha nodded, seeing that this child did have some insight, and patiently gave him a few pointers:

"You have better insight than Lin brother. To become my disciple's follower is indeed the greatest fortune you'll encounter in this life. Once you enter the Ancient Road, remember to stay close to your Ancestor Master Ji..."

Lu Zhen: "..."

Lin Tantian's forehead vein throbbed, his hands trembling in his sleeves.

After giving the young man a few pointers, Gu Chensha also felt quite emotional, and even a bit envious of the youth before him.

As a child, he followed his master, met many elders, and heard many tales of the old days from their mouths.

Most mesmerizing were the tales of his master's youthful exploits on the Inheritance Ancient Road.

Even his master himself occasionally reminisced about his young and carefree days.

"Sign this contract." Gu Chensha put aside his emotions and waved forward a contract.

Although they all belonged to the Nine Palaces, the necessary procedures still had to be followed to avoid future capriciousness in breaking promises.

Even if disciple Ji wouldn't mind, the face of the Great Red Sky Palace could not be lost.

Lu Zhen solemnly signed his name on the contract, feeling relieved at heart, but also a bit dejected.

He had just begun Martial Arts and was now forced to become someone else's follower.

While it's nice to call it a follower, frankly, it's not different from being an Attendant.

But soon, he lifted his spirits and comforted himself that it was an act of serving the Ancestor Master by his side, not a great insult as a junior.

Before leaving.

Lin Tantian gritted his teeth: "Master Gu, things have come to this, tell me, is your disciple the offspring of Master Gu?"

In his view, if Gu Chensha was not deliberately humiliating them, the most likely explanation was that his disciple was the offspring of the Great Red Sky Lord!

As far as he knew, the Great Red Sky Lord had not passed down any descendants.

If this widely heard but unseen disciple Ji was the child of Master Gu, then everything would make sense.

Gu Chensha glanced at him and shook his head: "That joke isn't funny."

Lin Tantian replied irritably: "If not a direct descendant of Master Gu, and you're so certain you're not humiliating us, and dare to dismiss Sealing King geniuses, could it be that your disciple has already stepped into the Taboo Sequence?!"

But this time, Gu Chensha did not reply.

The Acting Palace Master of the Great Red Sky Palace had a profound look in his eyes; he did not nod, nor did he deny as before.

And such a response shocked Lin Tantian.

He... didn't deny it this time?!

Gu Chensha suddenly turned his head to look outside the palace and pondered aloud: "Brother Lin, please forgive me for not seeing you out, I have some matters to attend to."

With that, he actually walked right out of the palace.

Watching the departing figure, Lin Tantian was somewhat dazed, finally shaking his head vigorously.
