The meaning of Supreme

Perhaps to confirm Xiang Fei's guess.

From within the cave came a clear and arrogant invitation.

"Please come in!"

Zhong Qing stepped inside.

Xiang Fei followed closely behind him.

The mine cave was not large, about ten square meters.

The furnishings inside were simple, yet possessed an indescribable charm.

Legend has it that if a powerful cultivator meditates on a stone for a long time, the ordinary stone beneath him will become imbued with his Qi, gaining sentience and intelligence.

Of course, to achieve this, one must be a being of extremely high cultivation.

Currently, though this cave had not yet gained sentience, it was permeated with a trace of Dao rhythm.

Clearly, Liu Yun had been cultivating here, and over time, the place had absorbed a wisp of her Qi, leading to this unusual phenomenon.

If one observed carefully, one could even hear the sound of the Dao within the cave.

Zhong Qing scrutinized his future Disciple.

He saw her seated on a meditation cushion.

Her posture was agile, and her long hair cascaded behind her like a waterfall of stars.

Beneath her long eyelashes were eyes as deep as the starry sky.

Her Qi was ethereal, as if in harmony with the heavens and earth.

Although she was clearly sitting there, the feeling she gave off was that she did not belong to this world.

"My Disciple, she truly is extraordinary!"

The more Zhong Qing observed, the more delighted he became.

The stronger his Disciple, the greater his gains would be after taking her in.

He had a premonition that if he could take her in, his own strength would likely undergo a qualitative leap.

As Zhong Qing was observing Liu Yun, Liu Yun was likewise observing Zhong Qing.

He wore a green robe, his features were deep-set and well-defined, and he was young and vibrant, exuding a scholarly aura.

He was clean and tidy, unlike other mine slaves who were disheveled, making people feel a sense of closeness to him at first glance.

After a long period of contemplation, she spoke.

Her voice was clear and crisp, like an icy spring in a snowy sky.

"My name is Liu Yun. I called you here today to bestow upon you a great Opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Fei felt a pang of envy!

He had personally experienced the might of this esteemed person.

With a single shout, she had repelled four Three Yang powerhouses, meaning her strength was at least at the Myriad Laws Realm.

For such a person to say she wanted to bestow an Opportunity upon Zhong Qing, even though he and Zhong Qing had a good relationship, at this moment, his gaze towards Zhong Qing was filled with envy and jealousy.

He hadn't realized that his Brother, who usually kept a low profile, had such extensive connections.

Not only was he on good terms with the mine supervisor, but even this esteemed person held him in high regard.

Of course, he was more happy for Zhong Qing.

With a supervisor covering him from above and this esteemed person caring for him in secret.

This meant that even within the mine, Zhong Qing's future was bound to be bright.

Zhong Qing, however, did not have as many complex thoughts as Xiang Fei.

He looked at Liu Yun.

And smiled, saying, "May I ask what kind of Opportunity the young lady wishes to bestow upon me?"

At this moment, Liu Yun rose.

She walked slowly, her hands clasped behind her back, exuding a sense of ancientness that did not match her age.

Finally, she spoke slowly: "I am currently a Reincarnation.

"Not long ago, I awakened my past life memories."

"Now I am trapped in this mine."

"I need your help. When the time comes, I can take you away from the mine,"

"And even allow you to follow me!"

As she spoke, she seemed to feel that this promise was somewhat empty, so she explained.

"When I dominated the world in my past life, the lowest cultivation level of those fortunate enough to follow me was Supreme."

"In other words, if you can seize this Opportunity, your achievement in this life will be at least the Supreme Realm!"

Xiang Fei was stunned by this sudden news.

What kind of existence was a Supreme?

Looking across the entire Central Continent, Supremes were legendary figures.

Such individuals possessed the immense power to pluck stars and seize the moon. One person could establish a Supreme power, and one person could sweep through an ancient capital Dynasty.

However, such a person was merely her follower.

And among the many followers, he was the one with the lowest cultivation.

How strong must she have been at her Peak?

Instantly, Xiang Fei's entire expression changed.

His little heart was pounding uncontrollably.

"Could it be that she is the Reincarnation of an ancient empress!"

It seemed that only a true empress could possess such grand words and imposing demeanor.

After Liu Yun finished speaking, she quietly waited for Zhong Qing's reply.

She believed that no one could refuse the conditions she offered.

Xiang Fei saw that Zhong Qing was silent at this moment and became anxious.

He wished he could answer for him.

This was an Opportunity to ascend to the heavens!

An Opportunity that countless people yearned for but could not obtain.

Even a second of hesitation was a disrespect to this Opportunity.

However, a moment later, Zhong Qing shook his head and said.

"Sorry, I refuse!"

"What?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiang Fei was so shocked that he jumped up.

He was so anxious that he was almost sweating.

"Brother Zhong, you must think carefully. Do not act on impulse."

"To have such an Opportunity presented to you and then push it away is to invite divine wrath."

At this moment, he seemed to see a heaven-shaking Opportunity being rejected by Zhong Qing.

He wanted to desperately try to keep it.

However, no matter how much he persuaded, Zhong Qing still said the same thing: No need to say more, I refuse!

For a moment, Liu Yun fell silent.

A moment later, she asked in confusion, "I want to know why."

Zhong Qing smiled!

He stated the true purpose of his visit.

"Because I want to take you as my Disciple!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiang Fei, who was already feeling hopeless, was utterly thunderstruck.

At this moment, he felt an indescribable speechlessness in his heart!

It was like a vast river, endless, and like the Yellow River overflowing, unstoppable.

Xiang Fei wanted to cry but had no tears. He really wanted to say to Zhong Qing: Big Brother, how much did you drink?

Who is standing in front of you?

This is a top-tier figure in the world.

In her previous life, she was even very likely an Empress.

Her weakest followers were Supremes.

For such a noble person to offer a follower's position is something countless people dream of.

But you, you not only refused, but you even started talking nonsense.

What exactly is it?

What gave you the confidence to take such a great person as your Disciple?

Aren't you afraid of angering such a great person and being killed with a flick of her hand?

At this moment, Xiang Fei was undoubtedly on the verge of collapse.

On the other side!

Liu Yun was momentarily stunned.

She had thought of a thousand reasons why Zhong Qing might refuse.

But she had never imagined that his reason for refusal would be so outrageous.

She wanted to take Zhong Qing as her follower, but she didn't expect that Zhong Qing would counter by wanting to take her as his Disciple.

Even though she was a Reincarnation, she couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity.

What made it most unbelievable to her was that.

Zhong Qing was extremely serious when he said this.

It was clear that he was not mocking her, but genuinely wanted to take her as his Disciple.

His eyes held sincerity!

Liu Yun was not angry.

Nor did she resent Zhong Qing because of this.

She was inherently a cold and aloof person.

She shook her head: "You may go!"

"Perhaps you still don't understand the meaning of the word Supreme."

"Once you truly understand, perhaps you won't have such thoughts anymore."
