Chapter 724 - 543 Great Emperor and Duge Heart to Heart_2
As for killing Duge, the South Peak Emperor had never thought about it.
Not to mention the Daoist Rhyme greatly helped him, just killing an Innate Spirit Item would burden him with endless karma, and he feared his cultivation level might never advance again in his life.
Besides, the two had no grudges nor grievances, and Duge’s growth did not affect him, so it was better to form a good relationship, which would be more advantageous for his future.
"Master is very kind," Duge said with a laugh, his smile filled with innocence. "Since I gained Spirit Intelligence, no one has ever been so kind to me. Although Master is after the Daoist Rhyme within me, without Master’s elixirs, I would have never made a breakthrough. Plus, Master said he would protect me in the future. So, Master is a good person. The Daoist Rhyme within me is always available for Master to observe."
The South Peak Emperor felt a flush of embarrassment; looking at Duge, he suddenly felt a twinge of guilt, as if he was deceiving a child: "Qing Sheng, if one day, your cultivation surpasses your master’s, would you still be kind to your master?"
"If there really comes a day when I’m more formidable than Master, then Master can just turn around and become my disciple," Duge said jokingly, "At that time, I’ll bring all the good things in the world to Master to help him make a breakthrough."
"..." The South Peak Emperor paused for a moment, then broke into a resigned smile and stroked his beard, "Alright, your master will wait for that day."
"There will be such a day," Duge nodded with certainty and asked, "Master, do you have any more elixirs? At the moment of Integration Dao, many things came into my mind, and they condensed into the One Yuan Heavy Water you spoke of. I feel that after my cultivation level rises, I can comprehend even more."
The South Peak Emperor nodded, and with a wave of his hand, he took out another five bottles of elixirs: "Qing Sheng, do you trust your master?"
"Master has been so kind to me; naturally, I trust you," Duge nodded.
