Chapter 286: Human Emperor, Earthly Immortal
"Alright, let’s settle on Xiang Fei for now. You should also go and prepare. I foresee that Senior Brother Nong should wrap things up in about ten days. Try to finalize the affairs of the subordinate sect within half a month, before we set off for the return journey to the Sect. We can’t have everyone waiting for us indefinitely." Wang Zijia instructed.
"Yes, disciple will go and take care of it now!" Having spoken, An Xingsheng did not leave immediately, but stole a glance at Wang Zijia, cautiously saying, "Martial Uncle, if we are really going to establish a sect and aim to gather a hundred thousand ordinary disciples, it might be best for you to meet with the old emperor."
Wang Zijia paused, immediately comprehending An Xingsheng’s implied meaning.
Banned from setting up a dynasty-like clan, their influence in the Mortal World was largely dependent on the attitude of this emperor. If willing to assist in their promotion, perhaps even establishing it as the state religion, or issuing an imperial edict for compulsory labor to construct the sect, the outcome would inevitably be different.
"Alright, I understand!" Wang Zijia nonchalantly nodded.
Seeing Wang Zijia refrain from showing anger, An Xingsheng subtly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, although Wang Zijia appeared nonjudgmental towards mortals, his consistent avoidance of the old emperor was also a fact.

That night, in the Imperial Palace, at the Qintian Observatory’s Star Picking Tower.
Wang Zijia ambled around in the Star Picking Tower, being cautiously led around by a eunuch for sightseeing in the tower.
After a while, Wang Zijia suddenly asked, "Does Master Ma have any disciples?"
The elderly eunuch attentively serving Wang Zijia immediately shook his head, replying, "To answer the Exalted Immortal, Master Ma does not have any disciples."
