Open up and break into another world

“My decision is…”

Xu Ming uttered a decision that stunned everyone present: “I won’t become a disciple!!”

“What!?” Many powerful figures couldn’t help but wonder if there was something wrong with their ears.

But how could there be something wrong with the ears of Dao Venerable or Dao Lord level experts?

“Not becoming a disciple?” Even Palace Lord Po Tian’s mind froze for a full “instant”.

It must be known that there were very, very few things that could make Palace Lord Po Tian freeze!

Moreover, an “instant”, for a great power at the level of Palace Lord Po Tian, was long enough to kill some not-so-strong Dao Lords!

Xu Ming actually managed to make Palace Lord Po Tian freeze for an “instant”; this was simply a miracle!

“Huh? Not becoming a disciple?” The expressions of the three elders, Tie Ning, Maple Leaf, and Mo Zixuan, were so colorful that they could be made into three “emoji packs”.

The three of them were originally acting aloof, while secretly pondering how to “snatch” Xu Ming over if he didn’t choose them.

As a result, Xu Ming resolutely uttered three words—not becoming a disciple!

Whoosh—

The scene of the Dao Seeking Banquet, after a brief moment of silence, suddenly became noisy, like a market.

Most of the voices were mocking:

“Damn! This Xu Ming definitely has a problem in his head!”

“The elders of the Dao Seeking Palace are willing to accept him as a personal disciple, yet he’s unwilling! What does he want? Does he want to worship a Palace Lord as his master?”

“Too conceited!”

“This Xu Ming’s talent is actually just average! Missing this great opportunity, his achievements in this life are destined to be limited!”

…

“Xu Ming, do you know what you’re saying!?” Palace Lord Po Tian’s eyes, filled with infinite Heavenly Dao Laws and secret patterns, suddenly narrowed, as if the entire world was trembling with anger, “Considering your youth and ignorance, I’ll give you one more chance!—Now, kneel down immediately and sincerely apologize to the three elders! As for whether the three elders are still willing to accept you as a personal disciple, that will depend on their mood!”

Palace Lord Po Tian heavily snorted.

Xu Ming, however, very “stubbornly” said: “I really decided not to become a disciple!”

“You…” Palace Lord Po Tian was truly angered.

He had seen many arrogant geniuses; but even the most arrogant, upon hearing that the elders of the Dao Seeking Palace were willing to accept them as personal disciples, would be extremely excited!

But he had truly never seen someone as arrogant as Xu Ming!

“Xu Ming!” Elder Tie Ning’s face was very unsightly, “Tell me, why did you make such a decision?”

Xu Ming thought for a moment and tactfully said: “I heard that Elder Tie Ning is the number one Refiner of our race; Elder Maple Leaf is the number one Alchemist of our race, and Elder Mo Zixuan is the number one Inscriptionist of our race—the three of you have different directions of comprehension of the Dao of Arrays; but in your respective fields, you are all existences who have reached the pinnacle!”

Refining, Alchemy, and Inscription all have the Dao of Arrays as their foundation, but they are also different.

Refining studies how to use the power of arrays to temper treasures.

Alchemy relies more on arrays to filter, purify, and refine medicinal materials and pills…

Inscription is the application of miniature arrays and ultra-miniature arrays.

“Hmph!” Elder Tie Ning indifferently harrumphed, thinking in his heart—yes, the three of us are all existences who have reached the pinnacle in our respective fields; but why are you unwilling to worship any one of us as your master?

Xu Ming continued, “But… I don’t have much interest in the Dao of Arrays. I’m even less interested in Refining, Alchemy, and Inscription…”

The reason Xu Ming gave was very simple—because I… have no interest!

Instantly, all the experts and great powers present were once again stunned by Xu Ming.

No interest?

It must be known that Xu Ming’s talent in the Dao of Arrays was so strong that the three elders, Tie Ning, Maple Leaf, and Mo Zixuan, were all vying to accept him as their personal disciple!

But it was this monstrous talent in the Dao of Arrays that made him say—I don’t have much interest in the Dao of Arrays…

Damn!

With no interest, your talent and attainments in the Dao of Arrays are already so monstrous! If you were interested, wouldn’t you soar to the heavens?

“No interest!?” The three of Tie Ning never expected that Xu Ming’s reason would be this, and almost spat out blood—this reason was too willful and too arrogant…

In fact, Xu Ming wasn’t deliberately pretending, nor was he being willful or arrogant; but… he really had no interest!

Because… as long as Xu Ming’s cultivation improved and he opened a higher-level Artifact Shop, what treasures couldn’t he buy?

Refining? Alchemy? Inscribing? —What’s the point of refining anything? Isn’t it a waste of time? Just buy, buy, buy from the Artifact Shop!

Buy whatever you want!

Of course, Xu Ming couldn’t say this.

“No interest…” Palace Lord Po Tian was also very speechless—such a monstrous genius in the Dao of Arrays actually said that he had no interest in the Dao of Arrays…

This was like a top student saying to the teachers and classmates with great contempt: Alas, I really have no interest in studying at all; I don’t know why, but I consistently get perfect scores in every subject… Alas, how vexing!

“Xu Ming!!” Yi Tianxing anxiously transmitted his voice, “How can you have no interest in the Dao of Arrays!?”

“Uh…” Xu Ming was embarrassed, “No interest is no interest… If I clearly have no interest, do I have to force myself to be interested?”

“Yes!” Unexpectedly, Yi Tianxing directly said, “Even if you have to force it, you have to force yourself to be interested!”

“How can you force interest…”

“If you can’t force it out, then…” Yi Tianxing thought for a moment and said, “Even if you have to pretend, you have to pretend to be interested!!”

“Pretend?” Xu Ming was even more embarrassed.

“That’s right!” Yi Tianxing said, “Xu Ming, you’re still young and may not fully understand the great opportunity you’re facing now! This is an opportunity to become a personal disciple of an elder… I can confidently tell you that if you miss this opportunity, you will regret it for the rest of your life! So—don’t talk about interest or no interest! No matter what, first become a disciple! First become a disciple! First become a disciple!!”

Yi Tianxing said it three times in a row, and each time he was more excited than the last.

“Xu Ming…” Elder Tie Ning earnestly said, “Your talent in the Dao of Arrays is unparalleled, you must not waste such talent! Even if you don’t have much interest in the Dao of Arrays for the time being, it doesn’t matter; interest can be slowly cultivated!—How about this, you first worship me as your master, and I will slowly help you cultivate your interest!”

“What!?”

“Damn it!!”

“Holy crap!!”

The experts and great powers at the Dao Seeking Banquet simply felt that they had come to be “startled” at this Dao Seeking Banquet.

The great powers all stared blankly at Tie Ning, as if they didn’t recognize him anymore—I say, Elder Tie Ning, you are also the number one Refiner of the human race, and a noble and respected elder of the Dao Seeking Palace, do you need to be so humble to a genius in the Dao of Arrays? I say, can we not be so “cheap”? Show your usual aloofness!… Look, the two next to you, Elder Maple Leaf and Elder Mo Zixuan, are so aloof.

Just as the great powers thought that only Elder Tie Ning was being “cheap”, they were shocked to discover… that the aloof Elder Maple Leaf seemed to be starting to be cheap too!
