Chapter 734: Peak
"Some factions..."
The moment those words left the Astral God's mouth, a light flashed in the eyes of everyone present.
Zi Jingya blurted out, "Those forces... they're elite factions!"
Before he could finish, the leading Astral God cut him off. "They must be the top-tier forces within our human territory! I've seen those reports too. There's no doubt they've taken notice of Li Pin's talent and want to take him in as a disciple!"
He didn't give anyone else a chance to speak and continued, "Better to resolve grudges than deepen them. Since Li Pin doesn't seem to have any guardians traveling with him, he likely hasn't joined any faction yet.
"In that case, why not pass this information along to those top powers? Let the big names behind them come forward and offer to take him as a disciple. That way, we'd at least be helping him secure a future. If he ends up apprenticed to a Sacred Monarch, or even a Heavenly Emperor, he might be satisfied enough to let go of his grudge against the Zi Clan."
The other Astral Gods and Zi Jingya quickly caught on.
"That's right. Since that Highlord didn't choose him, he's probably trying to prove his worth in his own way, out of pride. That would explain why he hasn't taken a new master yet. But in the Astral World, solitary cultivation can never match the guidance of a renowned teacher.
"Li Pin hasn't been here long, so he may not realize that yet—but we certainly do. If we can bring a great mentor to him, he'll surely feel grateful in time. That might be enough to end the feud between him and the Zi Clan."
"Surviving in the Astral World is no easy feat. Li Pin is still too young. We're doing this for his own good. We can't just watch as a supreme prodigy of the human race wastes thousands or even tens of thousands of precious stellar years, especially while bearing the burden of the Eternal Oblivion Force. Once he realizes how harsh the Astral World truly is, he'll surely thank us."
"Well then, what are we waiting for? Let's send out the message—spread it far and wide. The more factions that know, the more options Sacred Child Li will have to choose from."
The Astral Gods all chimed in. The heavy, oppressive air from earlier was gone from their faces.
