The Tongtian Hierarch paused for a moment.
Then he knocked on Sha Chen's head and laughed scoldingly, "You little rascal, you really have no shame. Are you trying to claim credit from this old man?"
"Don't worry, I'm well aware of what you've done. Now, tell me, what do you want?"
Without thinking, Sha Chen blurted out, "To become a Saint without taking a master."
The Tongtian Hierarch was stunned for a moment. Then he raised his hand, ready to strike.
Sha Chen kept backing away and said, "Saint, don't be angry. I was just kidding. Even Saints wouldn't dare to claim they could help someone else become a Saint; this junior wouldn't be so ignorant."
The Tongtian Hierarch gave him a glance and said, "Don't try to provoke me with reverse psychology. I haven't deceived you. To seclude oneself and remain stagnant is to make it impossible to establish great feats and accumulate everlasting merit. If there's no merit, how can one achieve Sainthood through merit?"
