The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms
Chapter 1672 - Chapter 1672 Chapter 1667 Endless Debate_1

Chapter 1672: Chapter 1667: Endless Debate_1 Chapter 1672: Chapter 1667: Endless Debate_1 Yang Chen’s words were truly unexpected, leaving many of the powerful Daoist masters, who were initially full of anticipation, dumbfounded.

Yang Chen simply didn’t choose to acknowledge any of them as his master.

Why did this happen?

In confusion, many people either looked at Sect Leader Chen Yangqi or Yang Chen.

At first, Chen Yangqi thought that Yang Chen was disdainful of everyone, which irritated him. However, when he set his eyes on Yang Chen, he quickly understood his reasoning.

“What do you mean by that, Yang Chen, my friend?” Chen Yangqi asked slowly.

Yang Chen bowed and replied, “Junior does not have the qualifications to let all these esteemed seniors compete for me. It’s better for me not to acknowledge anyone, so that everyone can have peace.”

He hadn’t thought about it like this before, but now he had no other choice. After all, if he did choose one of the masters, he might not end up benefiting from it.

By pleasing one person, he might inevitably distance himself from the others, making the whole situation counterproductive.

Instead, he decided not to offend or please anyone, so that they could meet amicably in the future.

Upon hearing Yang Chen’s response, Chen Yangqi nodded in satisfaction.

These Daoist masters had been alive for many years and were very cunning. They instantly understood Yang Chen’s thoughts and went from being annoyed to laughing.

Unexpectedly, Yang Chen’s decision not to acknowledge anyone as his master improved their relationships with one another.

This only made them like Yang Chen even more. They admired his cleverness and found him hard not to like.

“Good, good, good!”

“Kid, I like you. If you ever have a chance, you can visit me. Although you won’t become my disciple, there’s no problem in teaching you some other skills.”

“Hehe, Yang Chen, my friend, I’m also very welcoming to you.”

It was clear that these Daoist masters hadn’t completely given up the idea of taking on disciples. However, they were no longer discussing the matter openly, opting instead to let fate take its course.

Yang Chen, of course, wouldn’t neglect the proper etiquette, replying, “If I have the opportunity, I will definitely visit the seniors.”

Seeing this scene, Dream Trace Daoist couldn’t help but become unhappy. He had initially planned to laugh at Yang Chen, but instead, Yang Chen had managed to serve these powerful Daoists well. He had not displeased or pleased anyone and was in a very advantageous position.

Even Chen Yangqi praised him highly.

Chen Yangqi now looked at Yang Chen more favorably and said, “Yang Chen, you may feel wronged for not acknowledging any of these people as masters. After all, you’re considering the best interests of our Sect’s high-level members. Since that’s the case, I won’t let you down. In addition to making you a True Inheritor Disciple and granting you the privileges of that status, you can also study one of our Sect’s top Cultivation Methods.”

“Thank you, Sect Leader.” Yang Chen quickly expressed his gratitude upon hearing these privileges.

However, just as he agreed, an untimely voice followed.

The one speaking was none other than Dream Trace Daoist who could no longer sit idly by.

Dream Trace Daoist had been suppressing his anger for a long time, and coldly said, “Sect Leader, if you’re that biased towards Yang Chen, I absolutely won’t agree.”

“Dream Trace, what do you mean by that?” Chen Yangqi’s expression became serious.

Other Daoists also showed displeasure.

But Dream Trace Daoist didn’t falter. Instead, he seemed prepared with his argument, saying solemnly, “Sect Leader, there’s never been an example of a disciple joining the Sect and becoming a True Inheritor Disciple right away. The highest level a disciple could start at is Core Disciple. Becoming a True Inheritor Disciple requires passing numerous tests from the Xuandao Sect. Even my disciple has completed many tasks and made great contributions to the Sect before becoming a True Inheritor Disciple. If Yang Chen can skip all these cumbersome steps, I will be the first to object.”

Upon hearing his words, everyone exchanged glances, unsure of how to respond.

Indeed, before Yang Chen, there was no precedent for someone becoming a True Inheritor Disciple immediately.

True Inheritor Disciples were indeed unique in the Xuandao Sect, with great honor given to those selected. If someone held the title, it meant that person would at least reach the True God Peak realm in the future.

Moreover, the number of True Inheritor Disciples in each generation was scarce. In this generation, there was only Bai Wuheng, while in the previous one, there had been none. And the generation before that had only Fu Xuanming.

However, they agreed that Yang Chen was outstanding and had defeated Bai Wuheng, so they thought it was acceptable to make him a True Inheritor Disciple. But they didn’t expect Dream Trace Daoist to bring up this rule.

Chen Yangqi’s expression was serious as he coldly said, “Precedents exist to be broken. Dream Trace, I made an exception for your disciple to enter the Heavenly Mystery Space to obtain treasures. Can’t you make an exception for someone else?”

Dream Trace Daoist hadn’t expected Chen Yangqi to bring up this matter, which made him grind his teeth and shout, “Sect Leader, these are two different matters and can’t be compared. But since you’ve mentioned it, I won’t be too aggressive about it. We can make Yang Chen a True Inheritor Disciple, but we can’t allow him to study a top-ranked Xuandao Sect Technique for free. These top-ranked Xuandao Sect Techniques were left behind by powerful Daoists who made great contributions to the Xuandao Sect before their deaths. Although we, the living Daoists, won’t put our own techniques into the Technique Pavilion, it’s our duty to protect these top-ranked techniques!”

Dream Trace Daoist continued relentlessly, “Traditionally, obtaining these techniques meant demonstrating achievements, skill, and ability. No one can break that rule without enough contribution. Even we had to follow the same rule. How can we let this kid be the first exception? I absolutely disagree, and I believe my deceased Daoist brothers would think the same!”

With each mention of the deceased, Dream Trace Daoist appeared to be speaking for the dead. In reality, he was using them to support his claims, which angered many others. After all, how could Dream Trace Daoist know what the dead were thinking?

Unfortunately, Dream Trace Daoist had positioned himself as the voice of righteousness with every word, leaving others unsure of how to interject.

Most importantly, Dream Trace Daoist had a few lackeys who immediately echoed after he finished, saying, “Sect Leader, I also think Brother Dream Trace’s words make sense.”
