Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Thinking this, w.a.n.g Mang’s thoughts brightened up.
He finally had a goal to shoot for. Next, he asked, “System, can you provide me with the location of the Tristar Crescent Abode?”
[Ding! The host can purchase a Tier 5 Spatial Teleportation Talisman and teleport to the Tristar Crescent Abode!]
w.a.n.g Mang was stunned at first, but then asked happily, “System! How many energy points does that require?”
[The price of this Tier 5 spatial teleportation talisman is 20 million energy points!]
[Ding! The host can take a loan from the system with the same terms as last time, and accrue a debt of 30 million energy points. Proceed?]
“h.e.l.l no!*
“Is there any other way? System, you can just provide me with the location, you know?”
Obviously, w.a.n.g Mang was not willing to go bankrupt, and even become indebted because of this. Furthermore, he only had a 50% chance of becoming Patriarch Subhuti’s disciple. If he failed, he would be completely out of luck.
The next moment, the system’s voice rang out again.
[Ding! The host can purchase starlight positioning, which costs 200,000 energy points! Purchase?]
[Warm Reminder: There is no other way.]
After hearing this, w.a.n.g Mang was exasperated, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Helpless, he could only agree.
“Purchase!”
[Ding! The host has successfully purchased starlight positioning!]
[Warm Reminder: To use starlight positioning the host has to follow the dazzling starlight, which will guide the host to the destination.]
w.a.n.g Mang said without hesitation, “Activate starlight positioning!”
Moments later, w.a.n.g Mang felt his vision blur. Then, in the distance, starlight shone brightly, as if telling w.a.n.g Mang that this was the place he needed to go.
w.a.n.g Mang’s eyes immediately lit up. This starlight positioning was quite useful. Now, all he needed to do was fly to his destination.
However, he also felt the pain of having to spend so many energy points. The system was profiting from him!
After calming himself down, w.a.n.g Mang flew toward the starlight.
However, a few hours later, w.a.n.g Mang was almost on the verge of collapse. For some reason, the Tristar Crescent Abode seemed impossible to reach!
It was clearly right in front of him, yet w.a.n.g Mang had been flying for hours and had failed to reach it. He had even activated World Walk, yet it was futile. It was right in front of his eyes, but he could not cross that final stretch!
“d.a.m.n it! What is going on? I’ve been flying for ages, but still haven’t arrived!”
w.a.n.g Mang cursed in exasperation, but he still continued to fly toward the starlight as fast as he could. However, just as he was about to succ.u.mb to despair, he suddenly realized that the once unreachable starlight was already right in front of him.
In the blink of an eye, he had arrived at Mount Innerheart. He could see the Daoist temple on the peak of a mountain, at the entrance of which was written, “Tristar Crescent Abode.”
“Have 1 finally arrived?” w.a.n.g Mang muttered to himself.
Then, w.a.n.g Mang slowly came to a stop and began to climb up the mountain. It took some time, but w.a.n.g Mang finally reached the entrance of the Tristar Crescent Abode.
However, w.a.n.g Mang was not in a hurry to knock on the door. He knew for certain that Patriarch Subhuti was aware of his presence here.
As expected, it did not take long for the doors of the temple to open.
A young girl walked out and looked at w.a.n.g Mang curiously.
She muttered, “There’s a little monster outside Master’s door. How strange! Oh well, please come in.”
Hearing this, w.a.n.g Mang was delighted.
Patriarch Subhuti’s willingness to meet him proved that he had not rejected him yet, and meant that his chances were still very high!
Thinking this, w.a.n.g Mang hurriedly cupped his hands respectfully and said, “Thank you.”
The girl smiled and led the way.
She knew that the patriarch would not meet people casually, so if he was willing to meet, it meant that this little demon had a great opportunity!
Soon, w.a.n.g Mang met the legendary Patriarch Subhuti.
There were many disciples in Daoist robes sitting in front of the stone stairs on both sides, obviously listening to the lecture.
This scene was really similar to the scenes in the TV dramas he had seen on Earth.
As he scanned the room, he also realized that these disciples were not weak. There were Immortal King, Immortal Emperor and Immortal Prime realm experts among them.
Moreover, these disciples were taught without discrimination. There were some humans, as well as demons.
w.a.n.g Mang cautiously looked toward the white-haired elder on the high platform, who was obviously Patriarch Subhuti.
Seeing Patriarch Subhuti remain silent and stare at him expressionlessly, w.a.n.g Mang felt his heart beat a thousand times faster. He quickly knelt down and said piously, “Little Demon w.a.n.g Mang greets Master.”
Patriarch Subhuti nodded slightly, but then said coldly, “I didn’t take you as my disciple, so how can you call me master?”
w.a.n.g Mang panicked and quickly complained respectfully, “Master, 1 wish to learn from you. Please accept me as your disciple.”
Patriarch Subhuti’s face stiffened slightly. The corners of his mouth twitched as he asked, “You’ve already formed your immortal foundation and your abilities are quite impressive, so why do you need to take me as your master?”
w.a.n.g Mang was speechless.
He could not possibly tell Patriarch Subhuti that he was here to learn from him and also to find a backer, right?
Thinking on his feet, he quickly replied, “This disciple learned these skills by myself. In the human world, I’m only a small demon. I want to become Master’s disciple and learn true skills.”
With that, w.a.n.g Mang carefully raised his head and looked at Patriarch Subhuti with antic.i.p.ation.
Patriarch Subhuti hesitated for a long time before slowly nodding.
“Forget it! Although you hide your viciousness, your fate shows that you have the ability to distinguish good from evil.”
“Since you have searched for and found me, 1 will accept you as my disciple!”
As soon as Patriarch Subhuti finished speaking, the system’s voice rang out in w.a.n.g Mang’s mind.
