Chapter 345 Reward (2/2)

Zhou Yuan was shocked, but soon nodded his head. Shen Taiyuan was after all an elder of Cangxuan Sect, and though he often ended up getting the short end of the stick in his struggles with Lu Hong, he was still an extremely powerful individual wherever he was put. This plus Cangxuan Sect's resources made it a simple task to find out about Zhou Yuan’s background. Of course, Zhou Yuan did not try to hide any of this either.

”King Wu from the Great Wu Empire is a Divine Dwelling expert, but he is nothing much in my eyes. If I wish, I can easily suppress him with a flip of my hand.” Said Shen Taiyuan. Though his tone appeared nonchalant, it gave off a domineering aura.

”In the month since you became my disciple, I’ve managed to find out all about the conflict between your Great Zhou Empire and the Great Wu Empire. I did this in hopes that you’ll be able to focus on your training. In fact, I asked the sect to intervene and finish off the Great Wu Empire.”

Zhou Yuan stared at Shen Taiyuan in shock.

Shen Taiyuan frowned as he continued, ”However, the sect ultimately rejected my request. I suspect this had something to do with the Sacred Palace. After you destroyed Wu Huang’s physical body in the Saint Remains Domain, his Spirit was taken away by the Sacred Palace.”

”According to the latest intel I’ve received, for some unknown reason, the palace master of Sacred Palace seems to highly value Wu Huang. In fact, the former has even personally accepted him as his disciple, and helped him reconstruct his body.”

“As such, the Great Wu Empire can be said to have the backing of the Sacred Palace, and the reason why sect master and the rest did not agree to my proposal is likely because they knew that Sacred Palace would be opposed to it.”

Zhou Yuan’s pupils shrunk slightly. Wu Huang really was an unkillable cockroach. The former never expected that the latter would still be able to make a comeback after having physical body destroyed and half his sacred dragon blessing taken.

Zhou Yuan’s eyes glimmered for a moment, before they gradually returned to calmness. Back then, Wu Huang had seemed impossibly far ahead, but in the end, Zhou Yuan caught up, and even slayed Wu Huang. Zhou Yuan had not feared Wu Huang then, why would he start now?

Since he was able to kill Wu Huang once, he could do it again...

He may have failed to completely kill off Wu Huang the first time, and left a loose end behind. However, he was certain that Wu Huang would not live if there was a second time.

Zhou Yuan slowly asked, “Teacher Shen, since the Sacred Palace is backing Wu Huang, will that be a problem for the Great Zhou Empire?”

He did not fear Wu Huang at all. However, he was wary of the powerful and mysterious Sacred Palace.

It was a massive organization that rivalled the Cangxuan Sect.

Shen Taiyuan waved his hand, before he solemnly said, “There is no need to worry. We do not wish to break the rules, and I believe the Sacred Palace would not dare to do so as well. However, if they try anything funny, I assure you that our Cangxuan Sect is no pushover.”

“When all is said and done, the conflict between your Great Zhou Empire and the Great Wu Empire will have to be resolved amongst yourselves.” Shen Taiyuan was a little apologetic as he looked at Zhou Yuan.

He had initially hoped to get rid of this problem for Zhou Yuan. However, his hands were tied in the end.

Zhou Yuan solemnly bowed to Shen Taiyuan. He was fairly touched by what the latter had done for him.

“Teacher Shen, there is no need for you to be this way. The Great Wu Empire is a thorn in my heart that I must pluck out myself. If someone else did it for me, it would only hurt my personal development.”

Zhou Yuan slowly said, “One day, I will personally resolve this grudge!”

Though his voice was low, it was filled with confidence.

The strong confidence in Zhou Yuan’s words made Shen Taiyuan even more pleased. Regardless of attitude or talent, this disciple truly belonged to the cream of the crop.

“If there is anything else I can help you with, just say the word. I will do all I can to support you.” Declared Shen Taiyuan.

Zhou Yuan fell silent for a moment. Following which, he smiled as he said, “There is indeed a favor I would like to ask from teacher Shen.”

“Oh?” Shen Taiyuan smiled as he said, “Go on, tell me what it is.”

Zhou Yuan pursed his lips as he looked at Shen Taiyuan and earnestly said, “I would like to join the purple sash selection test to be promoted to a purple sash disciple.”

His main reason for coming to the Cangxuan Sect was to enter the main peak of Saint Genesis Peak, and search for the second Saint Rune. However, according to the sect rules, only the chief disciple of Saint Genesis Peak could enter the main peak.

To join the chief disciple selection trial that would be held at the end of the year, he would first have to become a purple sash disciple.

This meant that Zhou Yuan needed to pass the purple sash selection test, and become a purple sash disciple, or he would not have the qualification to join the chief disciple selection trial.
