Chapter 531: Picking A Master

This was the main reason why Wang Mang absolutely could not stay!

He did not want to become collateral damage alongside someone whose fate had already been decided.

Furthermore, there were probably Gods and Buddhas paying attention to Tang Sanzang’s group once they started their journey, so he would also attract unwanted attention if he stuck around.

Still, he had a good impression of the Nanshan King. It was too bad that he could not even intervene in this matter.

After all, what if Wang Mang warned the Nanshan King and attracted the attention of all the Gods and Buddhas?

It would not be worth it!

Thinking this, Wang Mang shook his head and refused.

“I appreciate Your Majesty’s good intentions, but I still plan to seek discipleship under a master in order to grow stronger in the future.”

Hearing Wang Mang’s rejection, the Nanshan King’s expression stiffened, but he had no reason to get angry. After all, he could not stop Wang Mang from getting stronger, right?

Thinking this, the Nanshan King nodded helplessly and said, “Forget it! Brother, you’ve got great ambitions, so I won’t dissuade you, but how about you leave after the banquet?”

“After all, I don’t know when we’ll be able to see each other again.”

Hearing the Nanshan King’s words, Wang Mang nodded in satisfaction.

If this fellow still tried to persuade him, Wang Mang’s impression of him would be greatly reduced.

As for when they would meet again? Likely never. The next time he came, there probably would no longer be a Nanshan King.

Of course, he did not say this out loud, and merely replied, “If Your Majesty doesn’t mind, I’ll pay you a visit when I return from my studies.”

“Haha! Alright, alright! If you come again in the future, I will definitely have good wine and meat to entertain you!”

Wang Mang smiled and chatted with the Nanshan King for a while more before starting to eat.

It had to be said that this fellow knew how to enjoy life. There was actually a demon subordinate who had been trained to cook, so the food at the banquet was excellent.

After he ate his fill, Wang Mang parted ways with the Nanshan King.

“Brothers, when you return from your studies, don’t forget to visit me,” the Nanshan King said to Wang Mang reluctantly.

“Brother, don’t worry. We’re brothers now, so this is but a temporary parting.”

Wang Mang waved his hand with a righteous expression.

The Nanshan King nodded in satisfaction, and then watched Wang Mang leave. At the same time, he muttered, “How can 1 escape from this fatal calamity?”

Surprisingly, this fellow was not the original Nanshan King, but a transmigrator. When he first transmigrated, and discovered that he had taken on the identity of the Nanshan King, he felt absolute despair.

However, in the end, he decided to struggle for an opportunity to live. He focused on strengthening himself, but did not dare to leave this territory.

This was because the moment it got close to the edge of the territory, it would be engulfed by a sense of fear. He could tell that he was being watched by a terrifying expert.

Thanks to this, he also knew for certain that he would definitely die if he stayed, but there was nothing he could do.

At this moment, Wang Mang, who was already far away, naturally did not know the true origin of this transmigrated Nanshan King.

After leaving the latter’s territory, Wang Mang began to prepare himself to search for Mount Innerheart and the Tristar Crescent Abode. Although he knew which prefecture they were in, he did not know their specific locations.

Thinking this, Wang Mang asked, “System, what are the chances of me succeeding in becoming a disciple of Patriarch Subhuti?”

[Ding! The answer to this question requires 20,000 energy points. Continue?]

F*ck! So expensive! This was daylight robbery!

However, after thinking for a moment, Wang Mang finally gritted his teeth and said, “Continue!”

[Ding! Successfully deducted 20,000 energy points!]

[Ding! The host’s success rate of becoming Patriarch Subhuti’s disciple is 50%!]

Wang Mang’s eyes lit up when he heard this. 50% was not a low probability, so it was worth giving it a shot.

Perhaps if he worked hard, he might really be able to successfully become his disciple?

While Wang Mang was rejoicing, the system’s voice suddenly rang out again.

[Ding! There are five others with the highest success rates. Would the host like to spend 50,000 energy points to check?]

Wang Mang was stunned for a moment before he fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Wang Mang gritted his teeth and muttered, “Check!”

This was because he wanted to see who he had the highest chances of becoming a disciple under. After all, this world was too dangerous. Those who were weak and had no background were simply cannon fodder. Becoming a disciple of a Tier 5 expert would be able to resolve this danger.

At this moment, the system’s voice rang out.

[Ding! If the host seeks tutelage under Sect Master Tongtian, the success rate is 48%!]

[Ding! If the host seeks tutelage under Ancestor Netherworld, the success rate is 38%!]

[Ding! If the host seeks tutelage under Grand Supreme Elder, the success rate is 30%!]

[Ding! If the host seeks tutelage under Sage Nuwa, the success rate is 45%!]

[Ding! If the host seeks tutelage under Dipankara Buddha, the success rate is 41%!]

After looking at the namelist, Wang Mang was stunned.

This was because these people were peerless existences in the world of the Journey to the West. There were even saints among them!

Wang Mang really wanted to be a Saint’s disciple, but the problem was, how was he going to find a Saint?

The one with the highest success rate was Patriarch Subhuti.

Next were the two Saints, Tongtian and Nuwa, but where were they?

Based on what Wang Mang knew, they were in the 33 Heavens, or perhaps even beyond that!

Therefore, Patriarch Subhuti was the most reliable option he had.

Moreover, Wang Mang was currently in the Western Ox Prefecture. He hoped that with the help of the system, he would be able to become Patriarch Subhuti’s disciple.

Ideally, it would be best if he could become a disciple before Sun Wukong.. After all, he was a transmigrator, so he had to be the senior brother!
