Chapter 721 - 542 Large Spender_2
"..." South Peak Emperor was taken aback for a moment, looking at the Daoist Rhyme emanating from Duge, he nodded his head, "Yes, the Daoist Rhyme on you indeed can take me a step further. There are many in this world who are stronger than I am. Only if I become stronger can I protect you better."
"Since my Daoist Rhyme can help you grow, then why do I take you as my master, and not the other way around?" Duge asked.
"Because I know much more than you. Your Daoist Rhyme is innate, but you don’t know how to unleash its power. I can teach you how to use the Daoist Rhyme to grow faster," South Peak Emperor said with a smile, not taking offense. "If I took you as my master, what could you teach me?"
"I..." Duge was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Will becoming your disciple restrict my freedom? At Dragon Willow Villa, I saved a group of children, and I promised them a good life."
"To become my disciple is to be my disciple," South Peak Emperor said with a smile, "Besides, saving lives is a good deed, and as the Great Emperor who shelters the Mortal Realm, I certainly won’t restrict your freedom."
"The teachings you offer me, are they more formidable than the Daoist arts of Dragon Tiger Mountain?" Duge asked again.
"Naturally, they are more formidable than those of Dragon Tiger Mountain," South Peak Emperor said with a laugh. "Dragon Tiger Mountain is nothing but a group of mortals. Even without speaking of cultivation techniques, the resources I hold in my hands are a hundredfold more powerful than those of Dragon Tiger Mountain. Otherwise, why would Xu Jinghui bother sending you to me?"
"Alright, then I will take you as my master," Duge said seriously, nodding at South Peak Emperor. "But let it be clear, I will not be your disciple forever.
I learn things very quickly, and if one day you can no longer teach me things of greater power, I will seek out someone more formidable to become my master. I have heard that the Daoist Ancestor is the most formidable person under the heavens, and one day, I will have the Daoist Ancestor as my master."
South Peak Emperor was momentarily stunned, then chuckled and nodded, "Alright, if one day you truly take the Daoist Ancestor as your master, I wouldn’t mind calling you master in return."
