“Master, I haven’t fully refined the Heavenly Dao Core yet. After all, I’ve never had such an opportunity before. I don’t necessarily want to devour this Heavenly Dao Core, since I know I can’t keep it myself. But I hope that after I can fully refine it, I can improve my understanding of the Heavenly Dao in the lower realm. If I acquire a second Heavenly Dao Core in the future, I can refine it quickly and increase my strength.”

Tianxiao gave a long list of his reasons.

However, Wan Liancheng was not entirely satisfied. He had just made his stance clear: he hoped that Tianxiao could hand over the core of the Heavenly Dao as soon as possible.

Moreover, Tianxiao's talk of complete refining was aimed at gaining insights and acquiring a second Heavenly Dao Core in the future.

This made him show a disdainful expression.

If Tianxiao couldn't even protect the first Heavenly Dao Core, how dare he dream of getting the second one?

After Wan Liancheng obtains the first Heavenly Dao Core, no matter how many he refines, his cultivation level will at least reach the High-level True Monarch realm.

This is a huge boost for him!

In the future, will Tianxiao still have the opportunity to stay by his side and obtain a second Heavenly Dao Core?

Even if Tianxiao gets it, the second one should be his, not Tianxiao's!

He felt that his last disciple was still too naive and too idealistic!

However, he couldn't reveal his true feelings.

He frowned and said, "I'm afraid it won't work. I don't know how long it will take you to refine it. Perhaps the Heavenly Dao Record will have already appeared by then. Without this core, my strength will not be able to improve."

"I can't help you protect your core either."

"A man like Chen Mingde could come back to kill us at any time. The Chen family is a major family within the Heavenly Dragon Sect, and they have quite a few helpers."

He said meaningfully.

Tianxiao sighed, looking disappointed, and shook his head, saying, "Master, I was indeed too naive just now. I couldn't get either the first or the second one."

"It's so good that you've come to your senses."

Wan Liancheng thought he had convinced him.

Tianxiao followed up on his words, saying, "Master just said that the Chen family is a large family. If I offend them today and they seek revenge in the future, and if Master cannot protect me, then I will surely die."

"You can rest assured. With the Heavenly Dao Core in my possession and Master's cultivation level improved, dealing with the Chen family will be no problem."

Wan Liancheng's heart tightened again.

Tianxiao gave an awkward smile and shook his head, saying, "It's not that I don't trust my master, but I hope to get greater insurance, since my master can't protect me every moment."

"Therefore, I hope to obtain the status of an elder. Although elders in the Heavenly Dragon Sect can spar and fight each other like true disciples, elders are not easily killed. Chen Mingde should be somewhat wary of them."

Tianxiao's words surprised Wan Liancheng.

This guy actually wants an elder's status?

He hesitated for a long time before advising, "When true disciples fight, people sometimes die. The reason why such things have never happened between elders is that when they reach the fifth or sixth level, or even the high-level True Monarch realm, it becomes more difficult to kill their opponents. Strong people at this level are also reluctant to suppress the weak due to their status."

"But it's still an insurance policy, isn't it?"

Tianxiao looked at Wan Liancheng with a pitiful expression and said.

Seeing his attitude, Wan Liancheng understood that this guy was pitifully naive. Although the position of elder was a bit troublesome, he could still handle it within a few days.

"Alright, then I'll give you the status of an elder for now, and I'll make the arrangements."

Wan Liancheng could only get up and leave.

On the other side, Lin Jinglong and Huangfu Kong entered a nearby empty courtyard, or rather, it was originally inhabited by local residents of Thousand Star City, just a few ordinary people.

However, the bodies of the four members of their family are now simply left in a corner of the courtyard, which has been turned into a stronghold of a small sect.

Their elite members number about ten.

The strongest among them was a True Monarch Level 3, who seemed to be the leader of the group. He had a fierce demeanor and was a rugged middle-aged man.

When they saw a group of celestial beings from the lower realms enter their courtyard with an air of nonchalance, and even walk straight toward them.

The middle-aged man at the head of the group was even somewhat stunned.

"Master, is that kid here to cause trouble?"

"Yes, they seem to be here to cause trouble. They're all from the lower realms, and we don't know them at all."

"They dare to trespass on our All Saints' stronghold? Let's just take action!"

Someone spoke up.

However, the seemingly rough and unruly leader of Wansheng Hall revealed a hint of apprehension at this moment. Having traveled the martial world for many years, he realized that the people in front of him were either very powerful or had a very strong background.

Taking action rashly could lead to trouble.

So he stepped forward and said politely, "Gentlemen, this is our Wansheng Hall's base. May I ask what brings you here?"

Lin Jinglong pointed to the corpses of a family of four in the corner and shook his head, saying, "This was their home. When did it become your hideout?"

"you……"

The Master of Wansheng Hall had a gloomy expression.

If you encounter people from the upper realm, just explain to them that killing a few ordinary people is no big deal and has nothing to do with them.

However, this time they encountered people from the lower realm, and people from the upper realm wouldn't ask such a foolish question.

He could only give a wry smile and wave his hand, saying, "A mistake, a mistake. I don't know who you are."
