259: An immortal is drinking tea!

Facing Jiang Chen's inquiry.

The System did not pause and immediately gave a reply.

[Beep, a faction or a clan can only obtain one treasure chest. Therefore, even if you accept ten Great Emperors into the Azure Dragon Clan, there will still only be one treasure chest.]

“Alright, I know!” Hearing there was only one treasure chest, Jiang Chen didn't say much more to the System and ended the conversation immediately.

Although there was only one epic treasure chest, he wasn't planning on letting Ao Tian go.

After all, he was a Peak Great Emperor and could enhance the strength of Qingtian Sect. Even if he wasn't needed for that, his blood could be used to grow dragon scale fruit trees.

Having settled on this idea.

Jiang Chen looked indifferently at Ao Tian, who was crying his eyes out, and said, “This Seat does not currently lack a mount. If you wish to follow This Seat, I will give you a chance to go to This Seat's Sect for a test along with Fellow Daoist Ao.”

“As long as you pass the test, you will be a Dragon of This Seat's Sect, and Immortal Ascension will not be impossible in the future.”

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he took a sip of the enlightenment tea that Liu Shu held to his lips, and quietly watched Ao Tian, waiting for his reply.

“Ah, join a Sect?” Ao Tian froze on the spot upon hearing this.

Ao Shishi had never told him that Jiang Chen had a Sect.

He had thought Jiang Chen was an Immortal who had descended from somewhere in the Lower Realm.

Although the immortal path in this star field was destroyed, the means of Immortals were ultimately mysterious and unpredictable, beyond the comprehension of these Lower Realm Cultivators.

But now that Jiang Chen wanted him to join a Sect, he was starting to doubt if what Ao Shishi said was actually true.

Because contact between this star field and the Immortal Realm had been severed for a hundred thousand years, and contact with other adjacent worlds had also been severed for tens of thousands of years, how could there still be an Immortal Sect?

Ao Tian recovered his senses, hesitated for a moment, and cautiously looked at Jiang Chen, asking, “Immortal, are you truly an Immortal?”

He just wanted to confirm whether Jiang Chen was an Immortal. As long as Jiang Chen claimed to be one, he wouldn't care about anything else; he would first cling to Jiang Chen's massive support.

“Am I an Immortal or not?” Hearing Ao Tian's strange question, Jiang Chen was almost amused.

Fortunately, his self-control was strong, and he suppressed the laughter in his heart.

He knew the reason Ao Tian took him for an Immortal was certainly because Ao Shishi had told him about the space.

In fact, a Half-Immortal would be enough to instantly kill those Demon Race members.

However, a Half-Immortal was incredibly powerful to these Great Emperors, so it was no wonder Ao Tian regarded him as an Immortal.

Of course, although he couldn't be considered a true Immortal right now, he was more than half an Immortal, so calling himself an Immortal in front of Ao Tian was absolutely fine.

Jiang Chen suppressed his smile and looked expressionlessly at Ao Tian.

Then, fully unleashing an Aura directed only at Ao Tian, he said lightly, “Do you think This Seat is an Immortal?”

Since he needed to display his strength, he certainly couldn't just talk about it; Ao Tian had to genuinely feel it.

The Aura he fully unleashed carried dense Immortal Might.

This was not something that those who had absorbed a few, or even dozens, of Immortal Crystals could possess. He believed that after Ao Tian experienced it, he wouldn't dare to harbor any suspicion.

“Hiss, Immortal Might! This is Immortal Might!”

Feeling Jiang Chen's Aura, Ao Tian's face was filled with terror, his body trembled, cold sweat streamed down his forehead, and he lay on the ground like a dead dog.

Now, he no longer had any doubt about Jiang Chen's identity as an Immortal.

Because a hundred thousand years ago, when he was still a Small Azure Dragon, he had felt the majesty of an Immortal from afar. That feeling was exactly the same as now, making one tremble like an ant.

“How about it? Do you still have any doubts about This Seat's identity now?” Jiang Chen withdrew his Aura, smiled, and asked Ao Tian.

Seeing Jiang Chen withdraw his Aura.

Ao Tian quickly scrambled to his feet, vigorously kowtowing to Jiang Chen while shouting loudly, “Immortal, please forgive me! Immortal, please forgive me! This little Dragon was blind and failed to recognize the Immortal's true form. Please, Immortal, forgive me!”

Ao Tian wept profusely as he kowtowed.

He was truly afraid that Jiang Chen would directly crush him to death. After all, daring to ask an Immortal if he was an Immortal was an act of great disrespect.

Watching Ao Tian's actions.

Ao Shishi stood by the door, looking utterly dumbfounded.

She didn't understand what her father was doing or why he was crying even more miserably than before after just one sentence from Jiang Chen.

“Enough. Ignorance is no crime. Get up. This Seat will have an Interstellar Teleportation Array constructed here, and then people will come to pick you up for the test.”

Seeing that Ao Tian couldn't stop kowtowing, Jiang Chen spoke up helplessly.

If he didn't call a stop to Ao Tian's method of kowtowing, the Dragon would likely keep going. He didn't have that much time to accept Ao Tian's reverence.

“Thank you, Immortal! Thank you, Immortal!”

Hearing that Jiang Chen would no longer pursue the matter of his questioning.

Ao Tian fiercely kowtowed a few more times, then stood up with an expression of having survived a great calamity.

However, once he stood properly, he shot an annoyed glance at Ao Shishi. If Jiang Chen hadn't been present, he definitely would have gone over to discipline Ao Shishi.

After all, if Ao Shishi had told him beforehand that Jiang Chen had a Sect in the Lower Realm, he wouldn't have made such a rash inquiry for no reason.

Ao Shishi's concealment truly made him cry from distress.

Receiving Ao Tian's gaze, Ao Shishi looked completely innocent.

Of course, she knew what her father meant by that look, but this was all her father's own doing. What did it have to do with her?

“Fellow Daoist Ao, please take Xiao Shu to select a location for the construction of the Interstellar Teleportation Array. Once it is built, someone will come to collect you.”

Jiang Chen instructed Ao Shishi, who was wearing an innocent expression.

He wasn't going to stay long in the Azure Dragon Clan. After settling the matter with the two of them, he planned to continue traveling through the star field to see if he could encounter any more Disciples.

“Understood, Fellow Daoist Jiang. I will immediately take Fellow Daoist Shu to find a place to build the Interstellar Teleportation Array.” Hearing Jiang Chen's instruction, Ao Shishi nodded and signaled Liu Shu before walking out of the palace.

At this point, only Jiang Chen and Ao Tian remained in the entire palace.

“Immortal, please drink tea, drink tea!”

Seeing that Liu Shu, who was serving Jiang Chen, had left.

Ao Tian, with a face full of smiles, copied Liu Shu's manner and brought the enlightenment tea from the table to Jiang Chen's lips, urging him to drink.

Now that only he and Jiang Chen were left, he had to perform well during this time. As long as the Immortal was happy, Immortal Crystals and the like would be nothing.

Glancing at the teacup near his mouth, Jiang Chen was speechless.

If this guy weren't still somewhat useful, he truly wanted to slap him dead.

How could he, a dignified man, possibly drink tea offered to his lips by another man?

Moreover, Ao Tian's smile carried a hint of wretchedness, which genuinely killed his interest in drinking tea.

“Put the tea down. Bring all the oldest record Jade Slips of your clan. This Seat wants to look at them,” Jiang Chen said slowly.

Although his System Awakening had occurred several months ago, and most of the Immortal Essence in his body had been converted, he still knew very little about Immortal Ascension.

Logically speaking, one should be able to Ascend as long as they Cultivate to the Peak Great Emperor stage.

Yet, observing this star field, there were quite a few Peak Great Emperors who showed no signs of Ascension at all. Something must have gone wrong with this unusual situation.

Since he encountered Ao Tian, who could guess his identity, the Azure Dragon Clan definitely had records regarding these matters. He might as well take a look to prepare for the Ascension of Qingtian Sect's Disciples.

“Yes, yes, Immortal! I will immediately bring all the Jade Slips of my Azure Dragon Clan to the Immortal.” Hearing that Jiang Chen wanted to check the Azure Dragon Clan's record Jade Slips, Ao Tian put down the teacup and scurried out of the palace hall.

He dared not ask why Jiang Chen wanted to look at these Jade Slips. After the lesson he just received, he now only had absolute obedience.

Even if Jiang Chen asked him to dance in the Palace Hall right now, he would start dancing without hesitation.
