At this moment, both Donghuang Taiyi and King Ying Ji of Qin felt a surge of emotion because of Ying Zheng's name.
Donghuang Taiyi stared in astonishment at Ying Zheng, who appeared like a celestial being descended to earth, his mind racing with thoughts:
'This child is actually a descendant of the Qin royal family? But why is he dressed in Zhao clothing?'
'That's right! The woman beside this child is Zhao Ji, a concubine whom the wealthy merchant Lü Buwei presented to the hostage Ying Yiren! In other words, he is Ying Yiren's son and Ying Ji's great-grandson?'
'He's only two years old, yet he's received such high regard from the Primordial Ancestor, who took him as a disciple. Could he be a chosen one like the Yellow Emperor?'
Yin Zicheng's high regard for Ying Zheng reminded Donghuang Taiyi of the legends about the Yellow Emperor.
He believed that Ying Zheng was very likely the second Yellow Emperor!
While marveling at how Ying Zheng, at such a young age, could become Yin Zicheng's disciple and had such a promising future, Donghuang Taiyi felt a very complex emotion:
'Ying Ji's great-grandson has become a disciple of the Primordial Ancestor, my senior brother? This... is truly a cruel twist of fate!'
...
Even Donghuang Taiyi was shocked, let alone Ying Ji.
The moment Ying Ji heard Ying Zheng's name, his brain went blank, almost crashing from the shock!
"What? The Primordial Ancestor said that his newly accepted disciple is named Ying Zheng?"
"He takes Ying as his surname; he is a descendant of my Ying royal family!"
"I was humiliated by Bai Qi in every way and was not taken seriously by the Hongmeng Saint Ancestor. Yet, I, a descendant who knew nothing about him, have actually become the disciple of the Hongmeng Saint Ancestor?!"
At this moment, Ying Ji was completely stunned.
He couldn't believe that he had been outdone by Ying Zheng, who was from a different generation and was unknown in the Ying royal family!
This was a huge blow to Ying Ji!
...
While Ying Ji was completely bewildered.
Yin Zicheng looked at Donghuang Taiyi and said calmly:
"Taiyi, are you really willing to give up everything in order to enter the Hongmeng Dojo?"
Donghuang Taiyi was a man who went mad in his pursuit of the Dao.
Before entering the Hongmeng Daoist Temple, when he knelt down to pray, he had already made the decision to risk everything.
When he entered the Hongmeng Dojo and saw Yin Zicheng's power, Donghuang Taiyi's determination became even stronger.
For him, no matter what price he had to pay, he had to seize this opportunity with such a powerful god as Yin Zicheng!
In response to Yin Zicheng's question, Donghuang Taiyi nodded very seriously and said:
"Yes, as long as I can stay at the Hongmeng Dojo and listen to your teachings, I am willing to give up everything and pay any price!"
...
Donghuang Taiyi's words were powerful and resonant, embodying an unwavering determination.
Yin Zicheng nodded slightly and continued:
"If I, the Holy Ancestor, were to make you stay in the Hongmeng Dojo from now on, and not be able to go anywhere else, would you be willing to accept that?"
Upon hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi answered without the slightest hesitation:
"I do!"
With Yin Zicheng's strength, he could tell that Donghuang Taiyi's answer was heartfelt and not deceptive at all.
He smiled and said to Donghuang Taiyi:
"In that case, I, the Holy Ancestor, will allow you to remain at the Hongmeng Dojo."
"Taiyi, from this moment on, you are my disciple."
Upon hearing Yin Zicheng's words, Donghuang Taiyi was overjoyed.
He will take such a powerful and majestic god as his teacher.
He was finally able to break through the limits of the divine and reach a higher realm!
Despite his great joy, Donghuang Taiyi did not lose his composure.
He understood that if he lost his composure in front of his master, it would be disrespectful to him, so he tried his best to maintain his composure.
'Exhale...inhale...exhale...inhale...'
Donghuang Taiyi took a few deep breaths to suppress his extremely agitated emotions and solemnly and earnestly performed the formal apprenticeship ceremony to Yin Zicheng.
After the ceremony was completed, Donghuang Taiyi successfully became the third disciple of the Hongmeng Daoist Temple!
As usual, Yin Zicheng pointed to the Hall of Inheritance and said to Donghuang Taiyi:
"Taiyi, go to the Hall of Inheritance and find the inheritance that suits you."
Hall of Heritage!
Bai Qi and Ying Zheng must have received the inheritance from there to become so powerful.
I must find a powerful lineage; I absolutely cannot be outdone by them!
Donghuang Taiyi looked at the Hall of Inheritance, his eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit.
Throughout his life, Donghuang was second to none!
He is determined to become the most outstanding disciple among all the disciples of the Hongmeng Daoist Temple!
