However, Fang Han has a unique characteristic: he is clear about gratitude and resentment, always repays kindness, and has a certain bottom line in his conduct. As long as others do not provoke him, he generally will not go to extremes.
Hua Tiandu, on the other hand, is different. As the reincarnation of the malignant tumor of the Gate of Immortality, he is inherently evil and insane. He does whatever he wants, repays kindness with enmity, commits all kinds of evil, and has no moral bottom line.
That is why Xiao Ning accepted Fang Han as his disciple and chose him as his pawn.
"If given the chance, getting my hands on the Gate of Immortality wouldn't be bad!"
Thinking of the legendary Gate to Immortality, Xiao Ning's heart stirred, and he began to ponder it.
The entire world of immortality can be seen as the inner world of the Gate of Immortality, which shows how high the grade of the Gate of Immortality is.
In Xiao Ning's opinion, conservatively speaking, they are at least Chaos Spiritual Treasures, and might even be Chaos Supreme Treasures.
Furthermore, the power of destiny it possesses is said to be omnipresent and omnipotent, meaning that it is an extremely rare and all-powerful magical artifact.
"We'll talk about it later. If that brat Fang Han isn't willing to be at my beck and call, then I'll kill him and seize the Gate of Immortality!"
After deliberating for a long time, Xiao Ning made up his mind.
"Disciple greets Master!"
As Xiao Ning pondered, a voice entered his ears, and he couldn't help but open his eyes and look.
But then they saw that it was already dark, and a boy dressed as a servant ran into the reeds.
The boy was Fang Han. He had been beaten up today and received a reward of five taels of silver. He could feel Fang Qingwei's arrogance and contempt, which further fueled his ambition.
He wanted to be powerful, to possess great strength, and to change his destiny.
So, not long after nightfall, he quietly left the Fang family and went to the reeds.
"We are master and disciple, no need for formalities!"
Xiao Ning flicked his sleeve to help him up, and asked with a calm smile, "Now that you've become my disciple, what are your aspirations for the future?"
"Ideals? This disciple wants to rise above others. As the saying goes, are kings and generals born with a special destiny? If I rise above others, I will rule the world, pacify the land, and become emperor."
Fang Han thought for a moment, then mustered his courage and uttered those rebellious words, hoping that his master would recognize his lofty ideals and impart the true teachings of the Great Dao to him.
"Fool!"
The expected praise did not come. Instead, Xiao Ning gave him a flick on the forehead, puffing out his beard and glaring at him, saying, "Silly boy, is that all you've got? You're just a mortal after all. Let your teacher give you a little crash course in the relevant knowledge."
"True success comes from diligent cultivation, breaking through the limits of heaven and earth, attaining immortality, and standing proudly above all the realms!"
As if seeing through Fang Han's thoughts, Xiao Ning slowly opened a door to a new world for him.
"Although the Great Li Dynasty you belong to has a vast territory and a population of hundreds of millions, it is nothing more than a plaything in the eyes of the ten major immortal sects."
"In the entire Xuanhuang Great World, there are no fewer than a thousand dynasties, yet they all depend on the whims of the major sects for survival!"
“Like that innate emperor of the demonic path, if he had a single thought and was dissatisfied with the Great Li Dynasty, he could wipe out the entire Great Li Dynasty a hundred times over at any time.”
"The disciples under the Innate Emperor control dozens of dynasties, such as the Wave Moon Dynasty, the Great Venerable Dynasty, and the Great Beginning Dynasty. The territory of any one of these dynasties is no less than that of the Great Li Dynasty."
"Leaving aside everything else, even I, as your master, could destroy the entire Xuanhuang Great World with my full power. The lives and deaths of countless people would be in my hands!"
"So, even if you become the supreme human emperor of the entire Xuanhuang Great World, what can you do to your master?"
Xiao Ning's calm words echoed in Fang Han's ears, causing his expression to change drastically and his body to tremble uncontrollably.
"There are so many dynasties in the world! Who is the Primordial Emperor? How dare he call himself emperor? And Master, what level of cultivation do you possess that gives you such divine power?"
Fang Han was utterly shocked.
Having served as a slave in the Fang family, he had developed a fairly broad perspective, knowing that all land under heaven belongs to the emperor.
I thought the whole world belonged to the Great Li Dynasty, but I never imagined that there were so many dynasties and countries under the heavens. How big must the entire Xuanhuang Great World be?
"The world is vast, the sky is vast, and the void is vast. The world is as vast as your heart!"
Xiao Ning smiled calmly and said, "As a qualified master, I have no choice but to help you broaden your horizons!"
"The Primordial Emperor was a powerful figure in the demonic path, standing alongside the ten major sects of the immortal path, and lived for ten thousand years."
"The emperor of the Great Li Dynasty, who is called the Emperor of Ten Thousand Years, can he really live to be ten thousand years old?"
"And the Primordial Emperor can live for over ten thousand years!"
"When any disciple from any of the ten major immortal sects comes to the Great Li Dynasty after cultivating to the level of supernatural powers, the princes and nobles will treat them as honored guests, fearing that they will not be treated well."
“Just like Fang Qingxue from your Fang family, who has already cultivated to the Divine Power Realm, I’m afraid she will soon be made a princess by the Great Li Dynasty and they will try their best to win her over.”
"But your master has already reached the supreme celestial realm. That so-called innate emperor, I could crush him ten thousand times over with a flick of my finger!"
"Although I have only lived for less than two thousand years, my remaining lifespan is one era, about 1.4 billion years, which is almost enough to make me immortal!"
Seeing Fang Han's stunned expression, Xiao Ning smiled with satisfaction and said, "So, now you should understand what it truly means to stand out from the crowd, right?"
Fang Han took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He knew he had really struck it rich; his ancestors' graves were emitting auspicious smoke.
Although he couldn't understand what a supreme celestial being was, Fang Han did understand what Xiao Ning meant by living for another 1.4 billion years.
What does 1.4 billion years mean? It's simply unimaginable!
Anyway, Fang Han knew, for a very, very long time...
"Master, please give your instructions, your disciple will obey!"
