Aotian Gu and Ao Guang finally met Emperor Gu.
Both of them knelt down and one of them said,"Greetings, ancestor. Junior Gu Aotian greets you.”
"Greetings, Senior Ancient Emperor," said the other.”
The Emperor of the Ancients frowned. He knew that Ao Guang was now the leader of the four seas, so he said indifferently, Ao Guang, why are you kneeling to me?"
Ao Guang said righteously on the spot,""Junior, ever since I received Senior's teachings, I have today's achievements. Although I am not master and disciple in name, I am master and disciple in reality.”
Emperor Gu glanced at Ao Guang. Aotian Gu, who was beside Ao Guang, had asked Aotian Gu to find Six-Eared Macaque. He wanted to talk to Ao Guang alone.
Now, only Ao Guang and the Ancient Emperor were left.
Ao Guang still didn't stand up. He was still kneeling.
"Ao Guang, why haven't you stood up yet?”
"Senior, please accept me as your disciple."
The Ancient Emperor rejected him on the spot. There was no way he could become his disciple now. He was still as arrogant as he was back then! Why was he so cowardly?
However, the Ancient Emperor, as a master in the eyes of others, naturally could not speak like this.
He still maintained his high and mighty attitude and said coldly,""Ao Guang, just give up on this idea. I won't take you in as my disciple.”
"But…"
"Don't tell me that if I don't take you in as a disciple, you will kneel forever. Let me tell you, if you anger me, I will kick you out of the training hall.”
The Ancient Emperor's stern reprimand caused Ao Guang's face to turn red. He didn't expect the Ancient Emperor to see through his thoughts with a single glance.
I'm ashamed!
Ao Guang had no choice but to stand up and cupped his hands.""Since Senior has already said this, I won't kneel down anymore.”
Humph! The Ancient Emperor sneered.
"What else do you have to say? Hurry up and don't disturb my cultivation.”
Ao Guang said frankly," Although I've become the leader of the Four Seas, I'm in a lot of danger. The Wu Tribe has withdrawn from Untainted Land, and the Four Seas have become the biggest force. But I feel like my head is hanging on a knife's edge. I don't know what to do. Recently, the Jade Emperor of the celestial heavens has been recruiting me. I want to ask for senior's opinion. Can you give me some guidance?”
The Emperor of the Ancients finally understood Ao Guang's worries. He did not have a backer, and even if the demon race was at a disadvantage, they still had Saint Nuwa. The human race had something to do with the four Saints, although they did not realize that Gu Aotian was up to no good. However, Four Seas could not.
"I suggest that you seek refuge with the Jade Emperor. After all, he is the orthodox chosen by the Ancestor."”
"But? It was said that the Jade Emperor was alone. The other Saints don't like him."
"Wrong! You're too stupid!" The Ancient Emperor cursed.
Ao Guang didn't understand and asked why.
"Let me ask you, Ao Guang. Do you think the Sage is more powerful or the Dao Ancestor is more powerful?”
"Of course the Daofather is the eldest." Ao Guang replied.
"Then let me ask you again, who does the Jade Emperor work for?”
"Dao Ancestor Hongjun!"
"Then let me ask you. If the Jade Emperor is not liked by others, what do you think the Dao Ancestor will think of the other Saints?”
Emperor Gu's question was like a blow to the head, instantly clearing Ao Guang's mind.
He immediately knelt on the ground again and kowtowed. He smiled at the Ancient Emperor and said,"Thank you for your guidance, senior. I'll go and seek refuge with the Jade Emperor immediately.”
"Go ahead." The Ancient Emperor waved his hand and sent Ao Guang out.
Ao Guang looked excited. He rode the cloud and flew towards the four seas. He even muttered to himself,"If I were Hongjun, if the Saints didn't like the Jade Emperor, it would mean that they didn't give me face. If I didn't kill those Saints, would I still be Dao Ancestor Hongjun?!"”
.......
One day, Ao Guang brought his men to the Heavenly Court to pay a visit to the Jade Emperor. He was then recruited. This was the first time the Heavenly Court had successfully recruited him in so many years.
The Jade Emperor held a feast that day. While drinking, he put his arm around the neck of the Dragon King of the East Sea and asked,""Beloved minister, the four seas have submitted to the Heavenly Court, increasing my prestige!”
However, Ao Guang humbly said,"I only joined Your Majesty after listening to the advice of Senior Ancient Emperor."”
Ancient Emperor?
The Jade Emperor was surprised. He had once wanted to invite the Emperor of the Ancients to come out of seclusion, but he had not been able to do so. He did not expect to hear the name of this reclusive senior again at this time.
"Senior Ancient Emperor, what did I tell you?”
" He said that Your Majesty is the orthodox of the Untainted Land," Ao Guang said truthfully." The four seas should submit to you. There's no doubt about it."”
Clang!
The Jade Emperor's wine cup fell to the ground in panic. He was so excited that he almost cried. He said with a trembling voice,"Did he really say that about me?"
"Yes, I dare not lie."
The Jade Emperor laughed loudly and wiped the corner of his eyes with his hand. Because of these words, he began to remember the kindness of the Ancient Emperor. Only Senior Emperor of the Ancients would think highly of the Clear Sky Boy who had once served under Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
But soon after, the Jade Emperor became suspicious, but he didn't say anything. He wanted to know how Ao Guang knew the Ancient Emperor.
He was too embarrassed to ask in front of everyone, but it seemed that he had to build a good relationship with Ao Guang and rope in the Ancient Emperor.
.....
In the dojo, Aotian Gu caught up with Six-Eared Macaque and got to know his second disciple, Golden Roc. In the end, because he was afraid that something would happen to the human race, he returned early.
However, the Golden Roc, who had never been to the outside world, was told by Gu Aotian that it was a colorful world. Therefore, the Golden Roc begged the Ancient Emperor to let him go.
The Ancient Emperor looked at the Golden Roc's cultivation base and saw that it had already reached the realm of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal. He did not stop him and let him go. However, he warned the Golden Roc not to say that he was his disciple.
Until now, very few people knew who the Ancient Emperor's disciple was.
