Chapter 129: Will You Still Accept Me as a Disciple?

When the five Immortal Emperors appeared, the whole crowd of cultivators erupted in a clamor, all kneeling on the ground, daring not to raise their heads, their bodies trembling.

The arrival of an Immortal Emperor draws ten thousand immortals to worship; this is an unchanging rule of the Upper Immortal Realm since antiquity!

The five Immortal Emperors' gazes fell simultaneously, and at once they fixed on the white‑clothed youth at the exit of the forbidden domain.

They each activated their imperial thought, probing repeatedly, their brows slightly furrowing.

"Can't see through!"

"The realm is concealed, the Qi flow hidden!"

"Yet being able to enter the ancient Immortal forbidden domain proves he is indeed beneath an Immortal Emperor!"

"Truly a peerless prodigy who never emerged from seclusion?!"

The several Immortal Emperors were secretly startled and doubtful.

Being able to enter the ancient Immortal forbidden domain, they were certain the opponent was no Immortal Emperor, yet a single palm could kill a quasi‑Emperor peak; this combat power…

And the Grand Void Immortal Emperor kept his gaze on Li Zhangsheng the longest.

He has lived nearly ten million years, heads the Grand Void Immortal Sect, roams the Upper Immortal Realm, has seen countless heavenly‑pride prodigies, yet has never encountered a prodigy who, without reaching Immortal Emperor status, possessed Immortal Emperor combat power!

With such talent and potential, if he could be taken under his wing and slightly refined, he would surely become a great pillar in the future, a major asset to himself!

Thinking this, the Grand Void Immortal Emperor's expression straightened slightly, his imperial aura contracted a bit, yet he still maintained a lofty demeanor, looking down from above, gazing at Li Zhangsheng.

That look, like a monarch overlooking subjects,

"White‑clothed cultivator below, does the Chaotic Myriad Path Furnace reside within you?"

The Grand Void Immortal Emperor spoke, his voice not loud yet bearing imperial majesty, echoing across the four corners:

"I am the head of the Grand Void Immortal Sect, the Grand Void Immortal Emperor, a high‑level Immortal Emperor, seated in the Upper Immortal Realm for a thousand years!!"

"Earlier you killed a quasi‑Emperor peak of my Grand Void Immortal Sect; originally I came today to dispute with you!"

"But I see your bones defy heaven, your comprehension extraordinary!"

"Today, I feel a talent‑cherishing intention; as long as you hand over that Chaotic Myriad Path Furnace to me, I am willing to make an exception and accept you as my personally transmitted closed‑door disciple."

"Enter my sect, and I will personally transmit to you the supreme Imperial Law, helping you refine the Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit, ascend to the Immortal Upper Realm, and be revered by ten thousand immortals."

He paused, and in his tone lay an unabashed bestowal and grace:

"This opportunity, under the whole heaven, none can match."

"Do you know the honor?"

As soon as the Grand Void Immortal Emperor spoke, the whole venue exploded in a roar!

All the cultivators kneeling on the ground were stunned, then immediately drowned in overwhelming envy and jealousy.

"My heavens, the Grand Void Immortal Emperor, that is a high‑level Immortal Emperor!"

"Speaking personally to take a disciple, and a personally transmitted closed‑door disciple?!"

"What a heavenly gift, what a fate that defies the heavens!"

"Not to mention he is merely a cultivator beneath an Immortal Emperor; even ordinary Immortal Emperors, many wish to join the Grand Void Immortal Emperor's sect!"

Countless eyes burned hot, yearning to replace him!

In their view, Li Zhangsheng should be trembling with excitement now, immediately kneeling, calling his benefactor, tears of gratitude streaming.

The Purple Mist Immortal Emperor, the Dragon Emperor and others were slightly startled, then showed an understanding smile.

The Grand Void Immortal Emperor intends to firmly grasp such a peerless prodigy in his hand.

If they were in his place, they would also be swayed.

Luo Chen, Ye Ze and Han Qi stood behind Li Zhangsheng; hearing this, their faces turned extremely strange.

"Bowing to the Grand Void Immortal Emperor as master?"

"Letting the master become someone else's disciple?"

"This must be the funniest joke they've ever heard."

Li Zhangsheng still stood with his hands behind his back, white robes unperturbed, raising his head to glance at the Grand Void Immortal Emperor above the clouds; his gaze was calm and unruffled, even carrying a faint hint of jest.

He slightly lifted the corner of his mouth, softly uttered a sentence, his clear voice spreading throughout the venue:

"Just because of you, are you even worthy to take me as a disciple?"

The words landed, and the whole place fell into instant deathly silence!

Not a bird nor a sparrow sounded; a falling needle could be heard.

The envy and excitement on everyone's faces froze in place!

They wondered if they had heard wrong!

"What... what did he just say?"

"Refused?!"

"He actually refused the Grand Void Immortal Emperor's disciple‑taking grace?!"

"And said… Immortal Emperor… unworthy?"

The Purple Mist Immortal Emperor and others' faces also changed, some shocked!

"This kid!"

"So reckless!"

"Crazy beyond limits!"

The Grand Void Immortal Emperor's composed, benevolent smile froze instantly.

In his imperial eyes, a sudden chill of light, authority fully revealed, anger soaring to the heavens.

He is a high‑level Immortal Emperor, ten million years aloft, worshipped by ten thousand immortals.

Today, voluntarily lowering himself to accept a disciple as an exception, already a heavenly gift!

Yet he was publicly rejected by a junior beneath an Immortal Emperor, and even scolded as unworthy.

This is humiliation!

Naked humiliation!

"Impudent!"

The Grand Void Celestial Emperor let out an angry shout, his voice shaking the Nine Heavens, and the void shattered in swaths:

"I gave you an opportunity, but you don't know how to cherish it; instead, you've become this arrogant, despising the Emperor Sovereign!"

"You really think that with a bit of surpassing-level battle power you can act recklessly before me?!"

"Today, I will make you understand that the might of a Celestial Emperor cannot be desecrated!"

Before his words even fell, the Grand Void Celestial Emperor raised his hand and struck out with a palm, booming!

With a single palm, heaven and earth changed color; the Grand Void's power gathered, forming a heaven-covering giant palm, enveloping the four directions, suppressing heaven and earth!

This palm contains his lifetime cultivation; it could easily slap to death an ordinary Celestial Emperor, its power terrifying to the extreme!

Li Zhangsheng watched the suppressing imperial palm approach, his expression still indifferent, as if watching a farce.

Only see Li Zhangsheng lightly tap his foot!

Boom!

In an instant, the spacetime within a radius of tens of millions of li suddenly solidified!

Hum!

In the next instant, boundless terrifying pressure permeated the entire spacetime, and the Grand Void Celestial Emperor's heaven-covering giant palm dissipated like smoke!

Wah! Wah! Wah! Wah! Wah!

In the next instant, the five Celestial Emperors in the air fell straight down, slammed onto the ground, each spitting a mouthful of blood, kneeling prone, unable to move!

"What?!"

The five Celestial Emperors' expressions drastically changed!

"Ahhhhh!"

"This... this how could it be possible?!"

The Grand Void Celestial Emperor rapidly circulated his own power of laws, but no matter how he circulated it, under this extreme pressure he remained unable to move, and immediately his face showed a look of terror!

Heavens!

What kind of terrifying existence is this?!

The Grand Void Celestial Emperor is going to be scared crazy!

Whoosh!

Li Zhangsheng stepped forward to stand before the Grand Void Celestial Emperor, looking down at him with a half-smile, saying: "How so, do you still want to take me as your disciple now?"
