Chapter 1964: Qin Chen’s Choice
"Sit down, feel the most primitive power."
Lord Ziran smiled and said.
Qin Chen sat down on the ground.
"Before entering Saber Saint Cliff, where did you come from?"
Lord Ziran asked.
Qin Chen said, "I come from a small dynasty called the Great Origin Dynasty. Before becoming a disciple of Saber Saint Cliff, I was a disciple of the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect of the Great Origin Dynasty."
Lord Ziran sighed, "It’s not easy to rise from a small place through cultivation."
"Back then, the Dao God also emerged from a small place, eventually making a name in Qian State, leaving countless legends, and founding Dao Village, benefiting countless successors of Dao Village."
"That Dao God senior is very impressive," Qin Chen said.
As someone from a small place, Qin Chen deeply understood how difficult it was for him to make a name for himself in the outside world.
They had no reliance, no background, nothing, all relying on themselves.
"You are also very outstanding, even more so than Ziyu."
"At your age, Ziyu could definitely not achieve your level of excellence."
Lord Ziran spoke sincerely, without much reservation.
"By the way, what reward did the Dao God give you?"
He asked purely out of curiosity.
Qin Chen was silent for a while, considering whether to speak.
Lord Ziran smiled, "No worries, everyone has some secrets, no need to force it, but be aware that people might target you."
Qin Chen said, "Thank you, senior, for understanding."
Lord Ziran said, "Are you willing to become the Dao Son of our Dao Village?"
Dao Son?
Qin Chen was stunned.
Perhaps this was the purpose of Lord Ziran’s invitation.
Unexpectedly, it had to be said.
Qin Chen himself was quite surprised.
In the entire Dao Village, there was only one Dao Son, and that was Qian Ziyu.
However, Qian Ziyu was one of the Eight Great Legends of Qian State, whereas Qin Chen was merely a young Heavenly Pride.
Lord Ziran continued, "As long as you agree, from today onwards, you will stand shoulder to shoulder with Ziyu, becoming Ziyu’s junior disciple, and our Dao Village will do everything to cultivate you."
"Throughout Dao Village’s history, there has never been an occurrence of two Dao Sons existing simultaneously."
"But I believe you are qualified to be a Dao Son, and have the qualifications to make me break new ground."
In Lord Ziran’s heart.
Qin Chen held a far higher position in his mind than he initially expected.
Because no one understood the meaning of the Dao God’s selection better than him.
Thus, when he spoke, it wasn’t merely inviting Qin Chen to join Dao Village but directly becoming the Dao Son of Dao Village.
In other words.
This was the step into the sky.
Far more influential and threatening than Qin Chen’s current status as a Ninth Palace Disciple of Saber Saint Cliff.
Moreover, once Dao Village announced Qin Chen as their second Dao Son, equal with Qian Ziyu, Qin Chen could foresee that this would surely cause a sensation across Qian State.
Lord Ziran said, "I know making this choice is difficult for you, and I feel somewhat conflicted in doing this, as you are already a disciple of Dream Saber Lord."
"But for the sake of Dao Village, I must do this because you are too important to Dao Village."
"Also, if you have any requirements, just speak up anytime."
Qin Chen looked at Lord Ziran with surprise.
He felt Lord Ziran’s sincerity.
In other words.
Lord Ziran was no longer inviting, but pleading.
Pleading for Qin Chen to become Dao Village’s Dao Son.
A plea from the master of a top force in Qian State.
What truly surprised Qin Chen was how far the other was willing to go to recruit him.
Seeing Qin Chen not speaking.
Lord Ziran said, "How about this, you stay in our Dao Village for these days, and once you have an answer, you can let me know. I understand this decision requires time."
This statement seemed to reveal a hint of fear that Qin Chen might refuse.
Of course, he was somewhat confident.
After all, he had offered such unprecedented conditions.
It was undoubtedly much, much more than what Saber Saint Cliff currently offered Qin Chen.
A smile appeared on Qin Chen’s face, he looked at Lord Ziran with a smile, "Senior, I think I already have an answer."
Lord Ziran’s expression immediately tightened.
"What is your answer?"
Qin Chen smiled, "I’m sorry, senior, I apologize deeply."
He had no hesitation.
Despite the bright path before him.
But Qin Chen was more unwilling to abandon his senior brother, senior sister, and Dream Saber Lord just like that.
He liked it there very much.
Lord Ziran’s expression froze, he looked at Qin Chen in a daze, unable to regain his composure for a long time.
After a while.
Lord Ziran opened his mouth, "Dream Saber Lord really didn’t misjudge you. If he learns you refused Dao Village’s conditions for him, I wonder how happy he would be."
In Lord Ziran’s heart, there was both dismay and admiration.
Being refused naturally made him feel bad, but at the same time, Qin Chen’s decisive refusal made him think highly of this young man.
Not only was his talent outstanding, but his character was also exceptionally so.
Even faced with such an almost too-good-to-be-true temptation, he didn’t hesitate for a moment.
Perhaps this was something 90% of people couldn’t do?
"Thank you, senior, for seeing potential in me," Qin Chen said.
Honestly speaking.
If he had arrived in Dao Village before coming to Qian State, he definitely would have joined Dao Village.
But unfortunately, when he came to Qian State, he first encountered the Cliff Entrance Battle of Saber Saint Cliff.
This was fate.
Lord Ziran said, "Not only do I see potential in you, but the Dao God also sees potential in you, everyone sees potential in you."
At this point, Lord Ziran couldn’t help but smile.
"I began to worry if Ye Wutian’s position was at risk."
Ye Wutian is currently the top figure of Saber Saint Cliff, but Qin Chen’s sudden rise will surely soon pose a threat to him.
"I think if that were true, senior brother would be happy for me."
Qin Chen smiled.
"Additionally, although I can’t promise to become Dao Village’s Dao Son, I can promise that whenever Dao Village needs me in the future, as long as I’m around, I will do my best to help."
Lord Ziran was quite surprised, "You don’t want a reward?"
Back then, Huangfu Ming relied on his achievements to make such promises, which made Lord Ziran very troubled.
Qin Chen smiled and shook his head, "The reward from the Dao God senior has already been given to me. Being too greedy is not good, knowing gratitude and repaying kindness."
Lord Ziran’s expression was filled with even deeper admiration.
"The gates of Dao Village will always be open to you."
"Thank you, senior."
After bidding farewell to Lord Ziran, Qin Chen descended the mountain.
"Dream Saber Lord, you truly have an eye for people."
Looking at Qin Chen’s back.
Lord Ziran spoke with some envy.
At the foot of the mountain, Xue Ningjun waited for Qin Chen.
Upon seeing Qin Chen descend, Xue Ningjun quickly came forward, curiously asking, "What exactly did the village chief ask of you?"
Qin Chen said, "Nothing much, he wanted me to become Dao Village’s Dao Son."
"What!"
Xue Ningjun was stunned.
