Chapter 410 Long Aotian: It's not you, Uncle Master…
Lu Chengwen was completely confused.
The other four little partners were also confused.
Is the difference between people really this big!?
When it was our turn, it was beating and cursing, as if we deserved to die from birth.
When it's Lu Chengwen's turn... hey, he becomes a disciple!?
Long Aotian felt the most displeased.
He knew his own situation best.
This Di Sha Gong indeed didn't lie; he truly couldn't advance anymore.
His path to advancement suddenly vanished completely. He didn't even know which direction to cultivate in. Every direction was a dead end, every direction held no hope.
Even if you trained hard for another ten years, you'd still be at the current level, nothing more.
This feeling was despairing.
Long Aotian constantly relied on his Shifu's powerful methods and his own five years of manly happiness in exchange for upgrades.
He thought that breaking through the current limits would make the next cycle better.
But things went against his wishes; he felt increasingly desperate.
But now, Lu Chengwen actually had a way to upgrade!?
Long Aotian really wanted to immediately say it: he is my Shidi, he is also Hun Tiangang's disciple.
But he couldn't!
If he said it, I would become the Dashixiong!
And I just... indeed lied to him too.
Di Sha Gong said: "Know why you can't advance?"
Lu Chengwen shook his head.
"The Taigu Yuan Shen (Primordial Ape God), innately most lewd, requires dual cultivation with a cauldron (鼎炉 - ding lu, a partner for cultivation) to break through shackles and reach the cosmos! I'll help you find a top-quality cauldron. You follow my instructions to practice, and you can break through Zhongsimen (Middle Fourth Gate). At most three years, I can help you break the Tiansimen (Heaven Fourth Gate) barrier and reach Guisimen (Ghost Fourth Gate)!"
Lu Chengwen was extremely gloomy.
The system already said this kind of thing, okay!?
Eh, wait! The system gave rewards, it didn't say I was some Taigu Yuan Shen, nor did it say I could dual cultivate to upgrade!
But this Ming Disha guy exuded an evil aura; he was too evil!
There was no way he would believe his nonsense.
He just said: "Senior, no need, I'm a businessman. Breaking through or not isn't important."
"No! You must break through! I'm counting on you to help me hold my head high!"
Di Sha Gong said: "From now on, you become my disciple. Hey, ten years, after ten years, I can let you stand at the very top of this Jianghu, hmph. At that time, if the most powerful people under heaven want to kill you, they'll have to weigh themselves, see if they have enough weight."
Lu Chengwen thought for a moment: "Why would I oppose the most powerful people under heaven?"
"Aiya, didn't you acknowledge me as master? Once you acknowledge me, you offend them. Once you offend them, they have to kill you. So, following me is considered enjoying blessings."
"Moreover, once you acknowledge me, they both become your Shixiong." (Referring to Long Aotian and Piao Qi)
Di Sha Gong smiled and said: "Opposing Dashixiong is very satisfying, you wouldn't know!"
Lu Chengwen thought, I don't know, you know.
Di Sha Gong explained: "Think about it, in life, having a Dashixiong, what a wonderful thing that is! You take the benefits, he takes the blame! You can go around causing trouble everywhere, offending people, and your Dashixiong has to bend over backward putting out fires for you."
"And! The junior disciple is very favored! Don't look at how many masters seem to take the first disciple seriously on the surface; it's actually just a gimmick. Give the Dashixiong some privileges, pretend to like him very much, just so he can help with work and manage the sect. In reality, they dote on the youngest the most."
Di Sha Gong bit his lip, looking into the distance, seemingly immersed in infinite happy memories:
"The days of playing tricks on Dashixiong using various means, those were the days."
Then he snapped back: "Anyway, from now on, you are my disciple."
Lu Chengwen gritted his teeth: "Senior, please forgive this junior for refusing."
"What!? You dare refuse me!? Do you know the consequences of refusing me?"
"This junior does not know."
"Hmph!" Di Sha Gong said: "Refuse me, and I'll kill them all!"
Di Sha Gong waved his hand, including the four onlookers in his gesture.
The four widened their eyes, thinking, what kind of brain circuit do you have!?
What kind of bullshit threat is this!?
Lu Chengwen breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, just these consequences?"
"Scared now?"
Lu Chengwen laughed heartily: "Not scared."
"Hey! I'll kill them for you to see!"
Long Aotian went up quickly to stop him: "Shishu, Shishu Shishu, calm down, let's calm down."
"This kid doesn't know what's good for him!"
"I'll talk to him, I'll talk to him."
Long Aotian leaned close to Lu Chengwen: "Chengwen, at this time, you have to think about everyone!"
Lu Chengwen said: "He's crazy, didn't you hear what he said? Wants me to harm women!"
"Do you usually harm few? This doesn't conflict with your specialty! It's a perfect match!"
"No, Long Aotian, what do you mean?"
"Agree to him, otherwise... several of us are in trouble. Everyone in the mountain... encountering this situation, we're brothers in hardship, don't you think?"
Piao Qi Tianwang also said: "Boss Lu, we had some misunderstandings before, but at this juncture, your single sentence can decide our life or death! Besides, if he kills us, will you have a good outcome? Rather than perish together, why don't you... just compromise a little. The brothers will all remember your kindness, right everyone?"
Che Qi Tianwang and Dang Kou Tianwang also gathered around, everyone trying to persuade him.
Lu Chengwen shook his head: "Wait until he kills you, I might get scared and agree then. I'm not worried."
Long Aotian said: "Chengwen Chengwen, can't say that, can't say that! Big... I beg you, really, quickly agree to him, quickly get him away, we really can't take it anymore! You don't know how heavy-handed this Sun... this Sun Wukong-like Shishu is. My Wang Ba Zhi Qi was scattered by one slap from him, like it was fake!"
Piao Qi Tianwang also said: "You can still play with girls, can still upgrade, and have a powerful backer. Boss Lu, what are you hesitating for? With such an awesome master in the future, who in the whole world would dare touch you?"
Lu Chengwen was almost furious.
Judging by his tone, this Di Sha Gong is basically the public enemy of the righteous path. Following him means all the masters under heaven will have to slap me to death!
Who dares touch me? Everyone!?
Lu Chengwen was extremely annoyed, said to Di Sha Gong: "Senior Di Sha, I have something I must make clear to you."
"Speak."
"I have a master."
"Chengwen!" Long Aotian was terrified: "Don't! Definitely don't!"
"Speak! Let him speak!" Di Sha Gong was interested.
"My master is, Hun Tiangang."
Di Sha Gong's eyes widened: "What did you say!?"
Lu Chengwen silently chanted: Shifu protect me! Shifu protect me!
"I am Hun Tiangang's second disciple, Lu Chengwen. Long Aotian is my Dashixiong. As for that Piao Qi Tianwang, he really isn't Shifu's disciple. Therefore, Shishu, your Shizhi pays respects!"
Long Aotian looked up. It's over, I've become Dashixiong.
Di Sha Gong slowly walked up to Lu Chengwen. Lu Chengwen quietly swiped open the system interface, selecting the Tiansimen Experience Card!
Just gamble once. Definitely can't win, hopefully can escape.
Di Sha Gong made no sound, just slowly walked towards Lu Chengwen.
The surroundings were frighteningly quiet, as if even the insects in the grass had stopped chirping.
Di Sha Gong walked opposite Lu Chengwen, his eyes red-rimmed: "So, you are my Dashixiong's disciple?!"
Lu Chengwen felt something was wrong, nervous and apprehensive, nodded: "Shishu."
Di Sha Gong forcefully spread his arms open. Everyone else took a frightened step back.
Di Sha Gong embraced Lu Chengwen, moved to tears, continuously patting his back: "Good kid! Good kid! I wasn't wrong about you! Nor was I wrong about my Dashixiong! Wuwuwu... reunited, our family... finally reunited..."
Long Aotian, who was scared to death just moments ago, immediately disagreed: "No Shishu you damn..."
The other three quickly pulled him aside.
"Tian'er! Tian'er! Tian'er calm down Tian'er!"
"Understand, understand, we all saw it!"
"Tian'er look at me today, give me face, really, calm down!"
Long Aotian's face was full of tears: "Too bullying! This is too bullying..."
"Yes yes yes, but the few of us tied together aren't enough for him to beat, endure it!"
"Lack of forbearance in small matters upsets great plans! If you act impulsively, we all die!"
"Later, later we'll get the face back!"
Di Sha Gong wiped his tears. Lu Chengwen was awkward to death.
What is this!? I almost used the Tiansimen Experience Card!
Didn't this guy hate my Shifu? Didn't he compete with my Shifu his whole life? Didn't... he want to kill all my Shifu's disciples?
Why are all the people from your sect like this? When exactly are you confused, and when are you clear-headed!?
You guys being like this makes me really scared!
Di Sha Gong put his arm around Lu Chengwen: "Come come come, everyone come over, everyone roll over here, let me introduce you. This, is my Dashixiong's disciple, Lu Chengwen! My Shizhi! Everyone applaud!"
Everyone looked at each other, having no choice but to applaud.
Two people even applauded while holding human heads.
Only Long Aotian trembled with anger, refusing to applaud.
Di Sha Gong even pulled Lu Chengwen over to Long Aotian: "Chengwen ah, let me introduce you. This, is also your Shifu's disciple, uh... according to rank, he should be ahead of you, you have to call him Dashixiong."
Lu Chengwen bowed his head: "Greetings, Dashixiong."
Long Aotian gritted his teeth, shaking his head, his wide eyes full of anger and provocation, squeezing out a few words from between his teeth: "We know each other!"
"Aiya, that's great. Why do your eyeballs look like they're about to fall out?"
Lu Chengwen said: "Ai, Dashixiong! Nothing good comes from them."
Di Sha Gong laughed heartily, pointing at Lu Chengwen, meaning: You understand me!
"Good! Chengwen, since you are my Dashixiong's disciple, then there's even less to say. I will teach you the method to break through, and find you a top-grade cauldron. However, finding a cauldron takes time, it's not so easy to find, give me some time."
"Shishu, why this again? I won't practice that kind of evil technique!"
"What!? You won't practice!? If you don't practice this skill, and I don't practice, is it supposed to be lost? What your true background is, didn't your Shifu tell you? The Heavenly Tribulation is approaching, you have the Shenyuan (Divine Ape) bloodline, you must bear the burden of saving the world!"
"Didn't you say you don't believe this nonsense?"
"I don't want my Shixiong and Shimei to ruin their lives to carry out Shifu's last wish!"
Di Sha Gong shouted: "In my opinion, Heavenly Tribulation is Heavenly Tribulation. My Shixiong clearly doesn't have the Taigu Yuan Shen bloodline, however much effort he makes is going against heaven! Why suffer himself and Shimei to death!? Why!?"
Everyone was terrified and confused.
This lord was agitated again.
