Ye Ming had heard similar statements from Su Beijian, and couldn't help but wonder: "What kind of force is the other party that can continuously kill people under the eyes of the emperor?"
The palace master sighed: "I have been tracking him for many years. Although I have clues, I can't find the murderer."
"Dianzun asked me to remain anonymous, so the other party can't find out?" Ye Ming muttered in his heart, feeling that this matter was not safe.
The palace master smiled and said: "Actually, you are not the real successor."
Ye Ming was stunned and almost jumped up: "What? I'm not the real successor?"
"Yes, in the future, you will exist as your senior brother's waiter." Dian Zun said.
"Waiter? Is my destiny to be a waiter?" Ye Ming was a little disappointed, and he instantly understood what the palace master's real plan was. It turns out that Dian Zun's successor already existed long before this, but outsiders didn't know it.
Palace Master: "Do you think this is unfair?"
Ye Ming smiled bitterly: "There is nothing unfair. If the emperor chooses senior brother as his successor, it means that his qualifications are higher than mine."
"Yes, he is a genius that is rare to find in a hundred thousand years. In order to find him, my master went through a lot of hardships, even at the expense of killing other powerful people and offending many forces." The palace master sighed.
Ye Ming: "The palace master set up this game to protect the senior brother, right? In this way, I, the successor of the waiter, will be assassinated."
Dian Zun said: "That's right. Although I set up this plan and asked you to remain anonymous and change your identity, they are likely to discover you and then assassinate you."
"At that time, could the Lord protect my safety?" Ye Ming's heart was beating wildly.
"No." The Lord was very direct, "If I could protect you, those descendants wouldn't have been killed. The other party has too many ways to kill people, and it's hard to guard against them."
"What if I die?" Ye Ming asked with a wry smile.
"If you are killed, I will choose a second attendant to succeed you until your senior brother has truly grown up and is not afraid of others' plots." Dian Zun said, "So, you are now carrying a mission, and your future situation will be very dangerous. Of course, I will give you adequate compensation for letting you take such a big risk. Even, I do not rule out the possibility of you becoming a palace master in the future."
"Oh? If senior brother dies, but I survive the disaster, I will be the successor of the palace?" Ye Ming asked.
"Yes." Dian Zun said, "Your senior brother is practicing outside in an extremely secretive capacity, and he has a prominent status. He has a great chance to grow up, but everything is not absolute. If he dies on the way, And if you can hold on until then, then you are the emperor."
Ye Ming sighed: "I'm really pitiful."
"My master said that I will not let you take risks in vain and will give you enough compensation." Dian Zun said.
Ye Ming is a practical person and immediately asked: "I wonder what the master's compensation is?"
"As a descendant of the Attendant, you already have huge resources. The reason why the Immortal Temple remains standing is because our roots are deep and our power is very powerful." The Lord said, "And you can borrow all of these. "
Ye Ming: "I'm afraid the more I borrow, the crazier the enemy's assassinations will be."
"Then it depends on your ability." The palace master said with a smile, "I think you have a very tough destiny. Maybe you can survive until the end and become the next waiter."
"Where is this waiter?" Ye Ming asked, "Do I want to meet him? After all, he is his successor."
"I am the waiter. On the surface, I am dead, so that I can better protect you and your senior brother." Dian Zun said.
Ye Ming understood immediately and said in surprise: "So the master has been pretending to be a waiter? What about the waiter?"
"The waiter has already passed away for me." The emperor said sadly, "He could have lived for ten thousand more years."
Ye Ming only felt a chill running down his spine. This palace master's plans were so profound and unexpected. Outsiders only thought he was a waiter, but they didn't know that he was the palace master, and the dead man was the waiter. Outsiders thought that he, Ye Ming, was the successor of the palace master who was secretly cultivated, but they did not know that the real successor already existed and was growing rapidly.
In the future, even if someone kills him, the true successor will not be affected and will continue his growth trajectory. Ye Ming suddenly felt very wronged and was excited for a long time. In the end, he was just a supporting character, and he might die as soon as he appeared.
Seemingly sensing Ye Ming's annoyance, the Palace Master smiled and said, "If you don't want to, you can quit."
Ye Ming smiled bitterly: "Quit? I'm afraid it's too late. Master is so profound, how can I let you waste all your previous efforts?"
"In that case, are you willing?" the emperor asked.
"Apprentice is willing, I just hope that my senior brother can grow up as soon as possible and become the strongest as soon as possible, so that he can lead my Immortal Temple to glory." Ye Ming said.
"Don't worry, your senior brother has already achieved immortality in the fifth realm. He can aspire to the ninth realm in at least a hundred years, and even impact eternity. He is a true genius, and someone who is so conceited as a teacher thinks that he is far inferior to him." Dian Zun said.
Ye Ming couldn't help but wonder: "Is senior brother a top-grade Taoist body?"
"Tao body?" Dianzun laughed, "Don't you know that there is a supreme being above the Tao body?"
"Supreme?" Ye Ming was surprised, "The body of the Supreme? Destined to become the physique of the Supreme?"
"That's right, the Supreme Body, with all the dimensions added up, only one appears every 100,000 years, and your senior brother is it." The Lord of the Palace patted Ye Ming on the shoulder, "You must live on and witness the growth of your senior brother. You’ll be proud of it.”
Ye Ming nodded: "Yes, the apprentice must work hard to survive. So what should I do next? Change my identity?"
"You don't have to change your appearance. You can just go back to your Tianyuan Continent and find a place to practice cultivation." Dian Zun said, "Your current strength is too weak. I don't think the people there are interested in killing you yet. "
"Why? Wouldn't it be easier to kill me now?" Ye Ming was puzzled.
"The previous twelve successors were all killed between the first and third realms of immortality." The emperor's brows knitted together, "I still don't understand the reason."
Ye Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Only people in the immortal realm would be killed. At least there is no danger for now. That's good! And if he reaches the level of Immortality Realm, he may not be afraid of the other party. As for the supreme body, he just heard about it and didn't take it to heart. One day he will become a master god level powerhouse, what will the supreme body mean
Dian Zun said: "If you have any requests, you can contact me as a teacher." After saying that, he handed a message board to Ye Ming.
Ye Ming took the message board and said: "Master, I'd better not hide my name and show my true face to others. Since the other party can definitely find it, why bother?"
The palace master thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's fine. The truth and the truth will make the other party even more unpredictable. However, in the short term, it is better for you to hide it."
"In this case, the disciple will leave." Ye Ming said.
"Go." The palace master waved his hand, and Ye Ming felt like the world was spinning and he entered the passage of a teleportation array. A moment later, he appeared in a dilapidated teleportation array. This teleportation array is located deep in a mountain range in Tianyuan Continent, and no one knows about it.
Walking out of the mountains, Ye Ming found that he was located in the east of Tianyuan Continent, not far from his Tiandao Gate. He and Zi Zi couldn't return to the Immortal Temple immediately, so they simply went to Tiandao Sect to see how the disciples were doing.
Tiandao Sect, since Ye Ming left, the disciples have been practicing with peace of mind and no distractions. You know, these people are all at the top of the earth, and they don't even care about national power. But after arriving in Tianyuan Continent, they realized what it means that there is a world outside the world, and there are people outside the world. They are not even ants at all, they are extremely weak.
Therefore, no one dares to be lazy, whether it is out of self-esteem or for the future, everyone is working hard. Fortunately, their qualifications are really good. Some time ago, Ye Ming sent Ma Xianchao to send a lot of resources, so everyone made rapid progress.
In front of the mountain gate of Tiandaomen, as soon as Ye Ming appeared, a disciple jumped out and was about to scold him, but when he saw it was Ye Ming, he was overjoyed, fell to the ground and worshiped, shouting: "The leader is back!"
Ye Ming nodded and said to the handyman disciple: "Are you already a Martial Lord? Not bad. How are the others?"
This handyman disciple was rarely able to talk to Ye Ming. When he heard this, he was flattered and said quickly: "Back to the head, the senior brothers have entered the country very quickly. Senior Brother Tang Yuansheng and Senior Brother Ye Yuanhuang have both entered the Martial Sainthood; Eight senior brothers, Ye Yuanlang, Bai Yuanxian, Pan Yuanlong, Wu Yuanji, and Su Yuanzhen, have also entered the realm of Martial Master."
Ye Ming was quite proud and said: "Have you already caught up with me? Very good, very good. What about the others?"
"Back to the headmaster, half of the thirty-six ordinary disciples have become Martial Lords, and the rest have become Martial Lords. Among the one hundred and eight miscellaneous disciples, 39 have become Martial Lords, and the rest have become Martial Lords. They are all martial sects and great martial masters." The disciple said, "This disciple also just broke through to the Martial Lord."
Ye Ming smiled and said: "Very good. Those of you who have become Wujun's disciples will all be promoted to ordinary disciples tomorrow."
The handyman disciple was overjoyed and said, "Thank you so much, Master, I'll tell everyone about the good news!" After saying that, he left happily.
Ye Ming smiled "haha" and appeared directly in the main hall of Tiandaomen. This main hall is used by Tiandao Sect to hold meetings and is not open on weekdays. As soon as he arrived, the palace door opened wide and the bronze bell chimed without ringing. As soon as the disciples heard the bell, they rushed to the scene as soon as possible no matter what they were doing.
More than a hundred people were soon seated in the hall, and everyone looked at Ye Ming with expectation.
"See the leader!" Everyone bowed in unison.
Ye Ming nodded slightly and said, "No need to be polite."
Everyone stood up, and Ye Ming asked: "Tang Yuansheng, my master is not here during this period, how is everything in the door?"
Tang Yuansheng stood up and said respectfully: "Master, everything is normal. All juniors are concentrating on cultivation and do not care about foreign affairs."
Ye Ming nodded with satisfaction: "This is what a practitioner looks like. You and Emperor Ye Yuan are not bad. They are both minor saints, just like being teachers."
"How dare we compare with Master." Ye Yuanhuang scratched his head and said sheepishly, "I feel that Master is becoming more and more terrifying now. I'm afraid that the three gods of Fa are no match."
This is not a compliment. Ye Ming does have such strength. For him, the Three Gods of Fa can strangle him with just his hand.
