Seeing Xiao Dalong’s awkward gaze, Chu Yang said, "Let's head to the cultivation technique pavilion first to obtain a technique. Being young has its advantages. This age is precisely when one should shape their character and build a solid foundation."
Xiao Dalong bowed repeatedly to Chu Yang, then with a displeased expression, walked towards the cultivation technique pavilion with Xiao Long.
Chu Yang, meanwhile, was contemplating how to nurture this little fatty.
Soon, the entire family entered the [Cultivation Technique Pavilion]. The era of universal immortal cultivation was no joke. Those who were older simply had poorer innate talent, but in the end, immortal cultivation only brought benefits, never harm.
Elderly individuals like Bai Nianchen, who were still strong in their old age, had already become idols for the generation of grandmas and grandpas worldwide.
Ever since that live stream yesterday, Xia Nation had announced its state of readiness and initiated a series of mobilizations.
Concurrently, the cultivator army began extensive recruitment. It was difficult to implement militarized management for professions that allowed individuals to soar through the heavens and tread upon the earth; ingrained mindsets were not easily broken.
The young man named Fan Feixiang was precisely the one the Xia Nation military hoped to cultivate as a commander of the cultivator army.
Those in Chu Yang's group were forging entirely different paths from Fan Feixiang. Their future lay in being top-tier individual combatants, responsible for the highest quality battlefields.
Let us shift the topic back. When Xiao Long's family emerged from the [Cultivation Technique Pavilion], they saw Chu Yang waiting for them.
Although the little fatty Xiao Long maintained a cool facade, he desperately wanted to show off.
He walked up to Chu Yang and casually presented the golden, shimmering cultivation technique in his hand.
"Heh, I didn't expect to get a top-grade Immortal level technique, the 'Chaos Scripture.' It seems passable."
Chu Yang felt that this little brat was lacking in loving education.
So, he extended his hand, and instantly, the 'Chaos Scripture' in Xiao Long's hand appeared out of thin air in Chu Yang's grasp.
Xiao Long, who was basking in his own brilliance, turned pale. Where had his large cultivation technique gone?
Chu Yang held the technique and made a motion as if to open it.
Xiao Long's entire family was terrified. They knew that cultivation techniques were one-time consumables; once opened, they were absorbed into the body.
This was an ultimate, terrifying Immortal level technique! If Chu Yang took it, they would weep for three lifetimes and still not recover.
"Waa!! You're bullying me! Give me back my cultivation technique!!!"
Xiao Long, with red eyes, lunged to snatch it back, but unfortunately, he was no match.
A glint flickered in Chu Yang's eyes as he murmured to himself, "So that's how it is. Truly worthy of being a top-grade Immortal level technique..."
He was using his [Eye of Insight] to examine it. Chu Yang was now a Mahayana stage cultivator, and this basic ability from the system had reached the level of causality.
With just a glance, he could completely learn it and identify any flaws in the technique.
Wonderful. He had obtained an Immortal level technique for free.
Chu Yang had yet to draw an Immortal level technique from the daily lottery.
However, looking down, the little fatty's eyes were red. After meeting Chu Yang's gaze, he could no longer hold back his tears, and they began to stream down.
"Waa... You! You're using your strength to steal my cultivation technique, boohoohoo..."
Chu Yang's lips twitched. No matter how mature he pretended to be, he was still just a child.
"I was just looking at it. Look at you! Do you see Li Qingyun and the others flaunting their good fortune? Don't think that your enemies are only the Evil Race three years from now. Look at how everyone around you is staring at the 'Chaos Scripture' in your hand..."
The little fatty, sobbing, glanced around and immediately noticed thousands of people staring with glowing eyes at the 'Chaos Scripture' in Chu Yang's hand. He shrank back in fear.
Chu Yang said calmly, "Didn't your teacher teach you the principle of 'possessing wealth invites crime'? In the future, if you obtain any heavenly treasures, will you also flaunt them to others? With your personality, if you entered the Time Secret Realm, you wouldn't even know how you were scammed to death!"
Xiao Dalong and his wife watched Chu Yang reprimand Xiao Long, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed Chu Yang was merely giving Xiao Long a minor lesson, which was good.
This boy's personality had always been a cause for concern. While it could be called precocious maturity, it was also arrogance.
Furthermore, he had now been identified as a genius on par with Li Qingyun, meaning there would be many jealous individuals. If he possessed half of Li Qingyun's composure, neither Xiao Dalong nor his wife would be so worried.
Chu Yang tossed the 'Chaos Scripture' back to Xiao Long and then said in a commanding tone, "Open it!"
Xiao Long was already intimidated by Chu Yang. Without even having time to wipe his tears, he opened the 'Chaos Scripture.' As a surge of light flowed into him, he stood frozen on the spot.
Chu Yang turned his gaze to Xiao Dalong and smiled, saying, "Congratulations, you've raised such a talented child."
Xiao Dalong said with a wry smile, "Actually, being a little less outstanding would be better. This is too high-profile. As parents, we can see that Li Qingyun is shouldering immense pressure."
Chu Yang clasped his hands behind his back and said lightly, "However, every prodigy is a treasure of humanity. They receive immense adoration, so a little pressure is reasonable. I believe that as the chosen ones among humankind, they can fully digest this pressure."
He looked at Xiao Long, who was enveloped in divine light from chaos, and said, "If you two trust me, you can leave your child with me for now. Although I haven't raised children before, there is no one in this world who understands immortal cultivation better than I do. What do you think?"
This was a colossal opportunity! Being able to stay by Chu Yang's side was worth more than an Immortal level technique.
Xiao Dalong couldn't hide his excitement. He said excitedly, "It is a blessing from eight lifetimes for our humble son to be noticed by Immortal Brother! But... will it be very dangerous?"
"Li Qingyun is undergoing life-and-death trials in the [Demon Spirit Realm]. There is no smooth sailing in life. Those who achieved Immortal Emperor status were not born as hothouse flowers."
At this point, it was quite clear: Chu Yang would train Xiao Long to become an Immortal Emperor, but the path would inevitably be arduous and perilous.
However, Xiao Dalong did not hesitate. He bowed solemnly to Chu Yang, "Then, I entrust my humble son to Immortal Brother!"
"Don't worry, anyone surnamed Xiao, especially with 'Long' in their name, is certainly not a mere supporting character."
Xiao Dalong scratched his head sheepishly, "Heh heh, actually my name is Xiao Dalong. I have an extra 'Da' compared to this brat, so I guess I'm not a supporting character either!"
Chu Yang: "..."
Does he not want to appear in subsequent chapters?
After settling some matters, the couple reluctantly left the square. Who would have imagined their child could achieve such a feat?
When Xiao Long opened his eyes, he looked around blankly, "Where's Dad? Where's Mom?"
Chu Yang patted Xiao Long's shoulder. The little fatty turned his head and saw the man before him with a cruel smile, "Little fatty, your dad sold you to me..."
