Urban Invincible Overlord-Chapter 1380 - 1377: Taking You as My Little Brother

Chapter 1380: Chapter 1377: Taking You as My Little Brother

"Why wouldn’t I dare?"

Yang Fei smiled boldly and said, "To me, whether it’s imprisoning your Primordial Spirit Body Avatar here or erasing it completely, it brings me little benefit. But now that I release your Primordial Spirit Body Avatar, I might receive a bit of gratitude from you, or maybe you’ll think more highly of me?"

Wan Daorong laughed heartily and praised, "You’re quite a character! With your personality, big figures among the Six Great Cultivation Forces in the Southern South Domain shouldn’t dislike you—instead, they should appreciate you and seek good relations with you. Why has it come to this?"

Yang Fei snorted, "Greed, and the disdain of a Divine Spirit towards ants. In their eyes, both I and all Earth people are mere ants, subject to their whims and control."

Wan Daorong nodded silently and sighed, "This is something that can’t be helped. Cultivators are essentially a different species of life from mortals. Just like you looking at Earth mortals now, do you genuinely respect them from the bottom of your heart?"

Yang Fei replied decisively, "All men are born equal; of course, I give them due respect."

Wan Daorong chuckled and shook his head, "That’s merely self-deception. Subconsciously, you see yourself as the strongest being on Earth. Even though you might outwardly get along with mortals, at heart, you don’t truly consider them important, especially when interests are involved. Take, for example, the Cultivation World on Earth. The Spirit Ore resources of this White Jade City are extremely abundant and considered treasures by ordinary people. If countries and kingdoms in the Mortal World wished to claim it and asked you to leave, would you do so?"

Yang Fei paused briefly and thought before shaking his head, "I was the first to discover this place, why should I yield it to others?"

Wan Daorong laughed heartily, "You discovered it first, so it’s yours, right?"

Yang Fei said, "Indeed it is."

Wan Daorong nodded, "Similarly, the Six Great Cultivation Forces in the Southern Domain, being the first to discover Earth compared to other forces in the Great Cultivation World, believe the Earth should be theirs."

Yang Fei frowned, "You’re twisting the concept."

Wan Daorong shook his head and said, "Let’s not argue about this. As your cultivation realm increases, you’ll eventually understand the separation between the immortal and the mortal. The essence of the Cultivation World is the strong preying on the weak. From the standpoint of the Six Great Cultivation Forces in the Southern Domain, it’s not wrong for them to want to seize Earth’s cultivation resources."

Yang Fei still couldn’t understand, shaking his head, "I don’t know if I’ll ever agree with you, but at least not now."

Wan Daorong shifted the topic, "Do you know of the Shang Qing Sect?"

Yang Fei quickly replied, "You’re the Peak Master of Tian Nan Peak of the Shang Qing Sect."

Wan Daorong smiled, "Very good. Now, I propose your Earth Cultivation Forces affiliate with Tian Nan Peak of Shang Qing Sect, becoming a subordinate cultivation force. Are you willing?"

Yang Fei raised his sword-like brows and looked at Wan Daorong, "We agreed on harmonious coexistence and mutual benefit, but you want me to be your underling?"

Wan Daorong laughed loudly, "Haha, you find it undesirable that I personally take you as my underling?"

Yang Fei was moved.

Though being an underling might seem a bit degrading, the opponent is after all a late stage Divinity Transformation expert, one of the Seven Peak Masters of the one-star sect Shang Qing Sect in the Southern Domain Cultivation World. His personal cultivation and background are firmly seated in the second tier of the entire Southern Domain Cultivation World.

Normally, being able to speak alone with such a figure would already be remarkable, allowing one to walk across the Southern Domain with pride.

The fact that he wanted to take me as his underling shows his approval, granting immense favor.

The most crucial aspect is, to resolve the conflict between Earth and the Southern South Domain’s Six Great Cultivation Forces, it is undoubtedly the best solution.

Reputationally, the Six Great Cultivation Forces of the Southern South Domain are affiliated with Shang Qing Sect. If Earth affiliates with Shang Qing Sect too, it places Earth on equal footing with the Six Great Cultivation Forces of the Southern South Domain. Under Shang Qing Sect’s mediation, the grievances between both sides can be temporarily subdued.

In an instant, Yang Fei grasped Wan Daorong’s intent, cupped his hands and bowed deeply to Wan Daorong, "Thank you, Master Wan."

Wan Daorong nodded with satisfaction and praised, "To bend and stretch marks a real man. I was right about you."

Yang Fei laughed heartily and said, "Since you’re recognized as Master Wan for your ability to teach and transmit knowledge, you might as well announce externally that I’m your disciple. That way, I can walk proudly in the Southern Domain."

Wan Daorong paused, then laughed and shook his head, "You’ve calculated so well. Although I’ve taught many, only a handful have actually become disciples under me. Do you want to become my closed-door disciple with a single sentence?"

Yang Fei quickly replied, "You misunderstood. I meant for you to declare I’m your disciple externally, without truly becoming one. Our actual relationship can solely be that of cross-generational friendship."

Wan Daorong was left astonished.

He didn’t know how to evaluate this junior.

In the vast Southern Domain Cultivation World, aren’t all those so-called prodigies eager to be my closed-door disciple?

This lad sure is something, wanting merely cross-generational friendship with me.

He’s indeed audacious.

But truth be told, compared to those prodigies, this lad is truly exceptional.

At just over forty years old, he’s already a Core Formation Cultivator.

Moreover, his Foundation Establishment and Core Formation were achieved without using auxiliary Breaking Realm Elixirs.

Thus, he genuinely has the grounds to be proud and audacious.

If the Earth World truly is the Land of Origin, then he possesses great fortune, and his future potential is boundless—I’m the one at a gain here.

Thinking swiftly, Wan Daorong scrutinized Yang Fei for some time, nodding, "Alright, I’ll play along with you. From now on, externally, I’ll claim you as my closed-door disciple, while privately we’ll treat each other as peers, acknowledging our cross-generational friendship."

Yang Fei chuckled, feeling grateful towards Wan Daorong.

He made a gesture of respect and bowed deeply at ninety degrees to Wan Daorong, proudly declaring, "Consider this my discipleship ceremony."

Wan Daorong’s mouth twitched.

How simple.

But he was also unbothered, nodding, "No need for such formality."

Yang Fei straightened his posture, smiling, "Since we’ve reached an agreement, I’ll release you now."

With that, not waiting for Wan Daorong’s response, he sent a thought that released Wan Daorong’s Primordial Spirit Avatar from the Soul Suppressing Space of the Soul Binding Rope.
