All races revere me as the Heavenly Emperor, solely because of my nine disciples!

"How are you? Are you alright?"

Seeing that Han Hai had merged into one, and could barely even use his true essence to cover his body, Zhou Hai took out a robe and draped it over him, looking very concerned.

"you……"

"never mind!"

Han Hai gritted his teeth, seething with anger. He really wanted to say, "If you hadn't killed me, I wouldn't be in any danger."

However, he swallowed the words back and changed his mind.

I'm really afraid that if I say another word in my defense, this guy will chop me up again.

At this moment, not only Han Hai, but also Ling Ruoxue and the others around him were speechless.

This crocodile tears are truly something else.

At the same time, Chen Bei and the others were also somewhat surprised. It was hard to imagine that a former great emperor would be so humble.

Throughout history, who among those who have achieved great things has not possessed an iron will and an invincible spirit? Not to mention emperors.

As an emperor, one must challenge the entire world in one's youth. How could such a person be afraid of death?

"Master, when will you pass on the Dharma to your disciple?"

Just then, Lei Zheng spoke, instantly attracting everyone's attention and leaving them speechless.

Ling Ruoxue, in particular, couldn't help but feel a dark expression. This guy's skin was truly thick. Although the purpose of becoming a disciple was to pass on the teachings, such blatant disregard was truly unbelievable.

Zhou Hai turned his head and looked at him with a slightly embarrassed expression. Just as he was about to speak, Han Hai grabbed his arm.

"Um... Elder Zhou, let's discuss this. How about giving this disciple to me... no, to me?"

Han Hai looked at Zhou Hai with hopeful eyes.

This time he was genuinely pleading, not negotiating or trying to steal the person.

"Oh, you like him that much?"

Zhou Hai raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

He could also see that Lei Zheng had good potential and was a good cultivation subject. But was it really necessary to make a Great Emperor risk his life for him?

He had just noticed that Han Hai had given up his chance to escape for this kid, and even came back to scare him.

If it weren't for this kid, Han Hai wouldn't have had to suffer like that.

Is this kid worth Hanhai doing this for?

"Elder Zhou, to be honest, it is said that the Emperor is invincible in heaven and earth, reigns supreme in the universe, and has swept across the heavens for tens of thousands of years, fearless of everything!"

"But in fact, once we reach our level, we realize that emperors are not truly omnipotent."

"Like immortality, even emperors cannot attain it. Like cause and effect, even emperors cannot escape it. Like what has passed away, like regrets, even emperors cannot make amends!"

"Emperors are ultimately just ordinary people. They may be able to suppress all the myriad paths of the heavens for tens of thousands of years, enjoying a glorious period, but what they don't have, they simply don't have. Forcibly taking what they don't have will inevitably lead to consequences!"

"Perhaps my situation is also due to cause and effect!"

"I have a premonition that this child may be my salvation, my destiny. I beg Elder Zhou to grant my request!"

Han Hai frowned, sighed, and ultimately chose not to hide anything and tell the truth.

There's no way around it. Given my current situation, I can't even scare people like I did earlier. If I keep trying to hide it, it'll be pointless.

"Oh, I see. This is an emperor's premonition!"

Zhou Hai suddenly realized that after reading so many books, he naturally understood what Han Hai meant.

"No, Master, I only want to be your disciple. Please don't give me away!"

At this moment, Lei Zheng objected and shouted loudly.

"You brat, what makes me unworthy to be your master?"

Han Hai had a toothache. As a great emperor, he was always the one who had others kneeling and begging to become his servants and followers, let alone his apprentices.

When did I become so disliked?

"Give me a break! You're so weak, how dare you call yourself someone's master?"

"Go back and train for a few years first. Someone like you, I'll learn from my master for two years and I guarantee I can chop you up at will!"

"Senior Brother Chenbei, am I right?"

Lei Zheng curled his lip, giving Han Hai the greatest contempt he had ever encountered in his life.

If Zhou Hai hadn't been here, he would have been furious today.

"You better pray you don't fall into my hands!"

Han Hai gritted his teeth, he was furious.

"Don't worry, even if I were to become the disciple of a dog today, I would never fall into your hands!"

"Master!"

In order to completely sever ties with Han Hai, Lei Zheng once again expressed his feelings, looking at Zhou Hai with a fawning expression.

Unbeknownst to him, his words, while expressing contempt for Han Hai, also pushed Zhou Hai into a path of displeasure.

In an instant, everyone else looked at him with a mixture of speechlessness and schadenfreude. Zhou Hai, on the other hand, turned pale.

"Get out! You're the dog, your whole family are dogs!"

"You don't meet my criteria for accepting disciples. Consider yourself very fortunate today. There's also a Great Emperor here, so this is a good deal for you!"

Zhou Hai glared and kicked Lei Zheng aside, making Han Hai's eyes light up.

"Thank you, Elder Zhou!"

Han Hai quickly clasped his hands in thanks.

"No, Master! How can I not meet the standards for accepting disciples!"

"Oh, by the way, the apprenticeship ceremony is a bit late. May I ask what this is?"

Lei shouted and with a wave of his hand, a mountain of books was placed in front of Zhou Hai, startling everyone.

"Wow, Master, this is quite a show of sincerity. I heard you enjoy reading these books, so this is a collection of similar books from the entire Northern Wilderness over the past hundred years!"

Beside him, Sun Buwang, with his bright eyes, picked up a comic book called "The Daily Life of Emperors" and said with a smile.

"boom!"

Zhou Hai stepped forward and kicked him dozens of meters away. His face turned black on the spot, and he glared fiercely at Lei Zheng.

Was this kid doing it on purpose? If you're going to show off your treasure, why did you have to do it in front of so many people? Is he trying to embarrass himself?

Look at the interesting looks on the faces of the people around him, looking at those books titled "The Plum in the Silver Vase," "The Jade Maiden Picture," and "The Record of Extracting Essence," and then at himself, they are filled with malice, and he is just short of bursting out laughing like Sun Buwang with his red hair.

This is simply intolerable.

"Elder Zhou, this wicked disciple is ungrateful. Shall I teach him a lesson for you?"

Han Hai couldn't help but want to laugh.

Having spent so much time in Zhou Hai's system space, he knew some of Zhou Hai's little hobbies, but to have them displayed like this was truly laughable.

But now is not the time to laugh; dealing with people is the most important thing. It just so happens that he's adopted someone else now.

"Go, deal with your own apprentice, give him a good beating!"

Zhou Hai's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth.

"Do not……"

"Master, you can't treat your disciple like this!"

"Look, I have a spiritual realm here, with many good things inside, all of which I'm offering to you as a token of my respect!"

Lei Zheng hurriedly shouted and took out three more spirit mirrors, causing everyone's hearts to tremble.

This person really knows how to navigate social situations!

The so-called "spirit mirror" is an extremely precious item.

In the cultivation world, many people prefer to record things using jade slips, which can be recorded mentally. The information inside can be easily transmitted to the mind.

However, spiritual realms are even rarer than jade slips.

It can not only imprint spiritual marks and record information, but also record all kinds of images. It requires a large number of spirit stones, some chalcedony, and various rare materials to be cast.

Such things are rarely used, let alone by minor sects or even sacred sites; they are reluctant to part with them. It is said that the forging technique for these items has long been lost, and many of the existing ones are relics left behind by the ancients.

Unexpectedly, Lei Zheng found such a treasure in order to become an apprentice.

"Drag him away and beat him to death!"

Zhou Hai was even angrier. This guy's comment about "good stuff inside" was clearly an implication in front of so many people. He really wasn't leaving himself any semblance of decency.

With a wave of his hand, he seized three spirit mirrors and immediately ordered Han Hai to make a move.

"No, Master, you can't just accept benefits without taking on disciples!"

"Ah...stop hitting me..."

Soon, Lei Zheng's screams rang out, making everyone's teeth ache; he was truly suffering terribly.

"This is utterly absurd! How could such filthy things appear in our esteemed Confucian school!"

"I'll keep it for now, and burn it later!"

Zhou Hai, exasperated, casually gathered up all the books, drawing eye-rolls from the crowd.

So righteous and indignant, are you trying to fool us? Don't we all know who you are?
