Chapter 1924: The tenth sun of Immortal Astral, Little Wang Lin!

Great Heavenly Venerate Daoyi snorted coldly. With his intelligence, he naturally saw the hidden meaning in Wufeng's words, but giving up now felt somewhat regrettable.

"I arrived too early… I should have come a bit later… After others present their conditions, I can make a judgment… Sigh." The reason Daoyi was the first to rush here was that he believed he should have been the first Great Heavenly Venerate to recruit Wang Lin, and he felt that his guess about what Wang Lin valued most was highly accurate. By showing up early, he might be able to intimidate Wang Lin in one fell swoop.

But he hadn't expected Wufeng to speak such words.

"Of course, it's not over yet! This Venerate has yet to take out the final item!" Daoyi's eyes flashed with resolve. He raised his right hand and clenched his fist fiercely. The instant he clenched his fist, his robes immediately swirled. After a moment of calm, Daoyi slowly opened his palm, revealing a multicolored crystal floating within.

"Wang Lin, this item is formed from this Venerate's Dao Concept. If you integrate it into your body, should you die, this Venerate will be injured. But if I am harmed, you will be unaffected. This item only unilaterally affects this Venerate.

With it, anyone who dares to harm you is making an enemy of Daoyi!" Great Heavenly Venerate Daoyi felt extreme heartache. This item was his bottom line. He had originally intended not to take it out if possible, but Wufeng's words forced him to produce it as his heaviest bargaining chip!

As soon as this item appeared, Wufeng's eyes became solemn. After glancing at Daoyi, he looked back at Wang Lin.

"Great Heavenly Venerates rarely take out a Dao Crystal like this. With this item, you can indeed be guaranteed safety. However, I advise you to wait for Great Heavenly Venerate Jiudi."

"Wufeng!! Could it be that you feel hopeless about recruiting this person, so you're simply pretending to be a good person to establish a favorable connection instead!" Great Heavenly Venerate Daoyi roared in a low voice.

"And what if I am!" Great Heavenly Venerate Wufeng laughed. He indeed had this intention. He had considered that if Wang Lin was willing to follow him, he would certainly treat him generously. Even if Wang Lin did not follow him, his help now could forge a favorable connection, killing two birds with one stone, benefiting both sides.

"Then I wonder, what will you, Wufeng, take out?" Daoyi felt extremely stifled, but his status was the same as Wufeng's, so if the other party was determined to act this way, he truly couldn't say much more.

"The benefits I offer are not as numerous as yours, nor do I have the kind of good fortune you offer within the Primordial God Realm." Wufeng's expression was calm. As he spoke, he looked at Wang Lin, his eyes clear and sincere.

"But if you follow me, you will not be my subordinate. I will accept you as a Disciple on behalf of my Master; you will be my Junior Brother! Our cultivation levels may differ, but our status will be the same!

Everything I have, you will have! This is the only thing I can offer." Great Heavenly Venerate Wufeng looked at Wang Lin. He valued this person highly, believing that the chance of him becoming a Great Heavenly Venerate was extremely high. Such a person was worth making this promise for.

Wufeng's words caused Great Heavenly Venerate Daoyi to freeze and fall silent. Such terms were indeed much, much more substantial than the Magic Treasures he had previously offered.

"This Wufeng is just a reckless fool. Although this youth is extremely outstanding, he is far from deserving such a price. My Dao Crystal was already the limit for a Great Heavenly Venerate!

Yet he actually gambled so heavily, betting that this youth could become a Great Heavenly Venerate at such a cost!

Equal status… accepting a Disciple on behalf of his Master—if he had proposed these terms to Ming Daozun back then, even Ming Dao would likely have been greatly tempted and might not have followed the Immortal Emperor, choosing instead to become Wufeng's Junior Brother!

If Wang Lin agrees, the benefits are immense!!"

Wang Lin took a deep breath. He hadn't expected Wufeng to say such a thing. His expression was sincere; clearly, these words were not spoken casually but had been carefully considered.

"The words I have spoken are absolutely not false; I can swear upon my Bloodline!" Wufeng looked at Wang Lin, speaking word by word.

"Has this Wufeng gone mad!" Daoyi stood nearby, his expression even gloomier, faintly showing disbelief.

Wang Lin's expression was complicated. He looked at Wufeng and fell silent. If he truly intended to stay in the Immortal race long-term, then Wufeng's offer would be his best choice, but… "Thank you for Great Heavenly Venerate Wufeng's kindness… Please allow this Wang to consider this matter further." Wang Lin sighed internally and cupped his fist toward Wufeng.

"It's alright. Great Heavenly Venerate Jiudi is the strongest among us; perhaps he will offer you better terms." Wufeng sighed softly, glanced at Wang Lin, and spoke with a smile.

"He has arrived."

Just as Wufeng spoke, a ripple of light appeared in the sky. Within that ripple, two figures walked out: Heavenly Venerate Haizi and her Master.

"Wang Lin!" Heavenly Venerate Haizi's voice was filled with joy. After appearing, she walked over and stood beside Wang Lin.

"You, you've been missing for so long, and the moment you show up you head to Heavenly Venerate Nirvana and actually break through to the seventeenth floor!" Heavenly Venerate Haizi looked at Wang Lin, not hiding the joy in her eyes.

"It was just luck." Heavenly Venerate Haizi was very close to Wang Lin, and a faint fragrance drifted over. Wang Lin did not retreat, remaining where he was. He still remembered Haizi's words in Heavenly Venerate Nirvana when he was being condemned by thousands.

"Alright, let's not talk about that. Do you remember the Emperor Mountain I told you about? Let's go see Qiuye together, okay?" Heavenly Venerate Haizi looked at Wang Lin and spoke softly.

Wang Lin hesitated, sighing inwardly as he looked at the stunning woman before him.

"I will go."

"Not now?" Heavenly Venerate Haizi bit her lower lip.

Wang Lin was silent. Given his experience and age, how could he not see the meaning in Haizi's words? This beautiful woman might not feel deep affection for him, but she clearly had a favorable impression.

Such a favorable impression might eventually transform into genuine affection.

It was just that Wang Lin could not allow things to progress like this. He didn't want her to end up sad and unhappy, like those women in the Immortal Cave Realm.

Wang Lin's silence caused Heavenly Venerate Haizi to sigh inwardly, but a smile appeared on her face. She raised her right hand and patted Wang Lin.

"Oh, you! I was just inviting you to Emperor Mountain and introducing you to a few Dual Cultivation women. Hmph, never mind if you don't want to go, I'll find someone else."

Wang Lin gave a wry smile.

"Haizi, stop fooling around!" In the sky, Great Heavenly Venerate Jiudi still looked the same, but his expression was serious now. There was no trace of the majesty of a Great Heavenly Venerate on him; even when serious, he remained very ordinary.

"Wang Lin, I wish to accept you as my Disciple, do you agree?" Great Heavenly Venerate Jiudi was a contemporary of the Immortal Ancestor. When he said this, he wasn't being arrogant at all; even Wufeng, standing nearby, showed no embarrassment.

"If you agree, I can promise you that when the Primordial God Realm opens, I will send you inside! I will use all my strength to help you become a Great Heavenly Venerate!" Among Great Heavenly Venerates, few dare to make such a promise. Only a Great Heavenly Venerate knows the price required for this.

This was also what he had told Ming Daozun back then, but Ming Daozun, for unknown reasons under the Immortal Emperor's conditions, did not choose Jiudi.

"With my help, when the Primordial God Realm opens, your chance of becoming a Great Heavenly Venerate can increase by about thirty percent! Furthermore, if you are my Disciple, even the Immortal Emperor would not dare to attack you!

No matter what grudges you have, with me present, I can completely neutralize them for you!

Among the Great Heavenly Venerates, besides the deceased Donglin, only the Gemini can compare with me. However, after the Gemini underwent Reincarnation, an accident occurred. Their Souls have now separated again, reverting to their earliest state, and they are currently extremely weak.

I am your best choice!" Great Heavenly Venerate Jiudi spoke slowly.

Wang Lin looked at the scene: Daoyi, Wufeng, and Great Heavenly Venerate Jiudi. Each of these three offered different conditions: Daoyi's supreme treasure, Wufeng's equality, and Jiudi's guarantee.

If he intended to stay in the Immortal race long-term, choosing Jiudi was the safest option. Even choosing Wufeng would allow him to Summon Wind and call for rain within the Immortal race. Only Daoyi was someone Wang Lin would never easily choose, as he knew that his Master had history with this person, and the Heaven Defying Bead was obtained by Seven-Colored Immortal Venerable during the dispute between the two.

However, Daoyi was also the one person Wang Lin would not feel guilt toward if he chose him. Wang Lin was quite tempted by those few Magic Treasures of his, but if the Immortal Emperor were to make a move, whether Daoyi would help Wang Lin was hard to predict.

"Jiudi is the strongest Great Heavenly Venerate of the Immortal race… I must be cautious with him… But similarly, he is also in Zhongzhou, which would provide immense protection for my trip to Zhongzhou!" As Wang Lin pondered, he cupped his fist toward Great Heavenly Venerate Jiudi, just about to speak.

But right at that moment, Jiudi suddenly raised his head. Immediately afterward, Wufeng and Daoyi also looked up, their expressions solemn. They saw three long rainbows whistling from the sky, approaching the location in an instant.

"Little Wang Lin! Ah, it really is you!" A burst of cheerful laughter came from the sky. Within the three long rainbows were precisely the Gemini Great Heavenly Venerates and Heavenly Venerate Guyai.

Amidst the laughter, the little girl named Wawa swayed and appeared beside Wang Lin, clapping her hands and circling him once.

"Little Wang Lin, do you still remember me!"

"Little Wang Lin, do you still remember him!" The little girl named Hanhan, standing next to Wawa, was holding a Cultivator whose hands were covering his face. She tossed the Cultivator aside.

Wang Lin looked at the Cultivator who had been tossed aside and, upon lowering his hands, wore a miserable expression.

"Greedy Wolf…"

"Uh… Fellow Daoist Wang, long time no see…" Greedy Wolf said, tears seemingly welling up in his eyes.

"Alright, Baldy, Masked Man, and you old geezer, you all go! This Little Wang Lin belongs to us!" The little girl named Wawa put her left hand on her hip, raised her right hand, and pointed at them one by one, putting on an air of maturity.

"That's right, he's ours! If any of you dare to disobey, hmph… I might hit you!" The little girl named Hanhan looked ready to hit someone, even raising her hand and making gestures.

This sudden turn of events made Wang Lin momentarily stunned.

Heavenly Venerate Guyai retreated a few steps, wearing a wry smile. With his cultivation, he couldn't possibly interject right now; he could only watch the two little ancestors cause a ruckus.
