Starting With 100 Million Lives
Chapter 865: Not Worthy
The second victory once again proved Cai Ying's astonishing talent in artifact refining.
What grade Artifact Refiner is she? It's hard to say at the moment.
After all, these competitions in the Evangelical Assembly don't involve on-site artifact refining, so it's impossible to determine.
But as long as one is not foolish or blind, anyone can see that she is an unparalleled genius in artifact refining now.
The three Demon Emperors are obviously neither foolish nor blind.
They have already seen the value of this Celestial Immortal.
"Cai Ying, would you like to join my Nine-Star Demon Hall?"
The Taie Demon Emperor spoke amicably and was the first to start recruiting.
"As long as you are willing to join, I can take you as a direct disciple!"
With just this one sentence, countless demon cultivators around and across the Demon Realm nearly went mad on the spot.
A Demon Emperor actually wants to take a disciple, such a good thing they dare not even dream of.
Under normal circumstances, even if they successfully join a top Demon Sect like the Nine-Star Demon Hall, being taken under the tutelage of a Demon King is a privilege only bestowed upon supreme geniuses.
And the Taie Demon Emperor is a top-tier expert in the Emperor Realm, a real powerhouse even in the Holy Hall.
Being his disciple, one could walk sideways in the Demon Realm.
However, this wasn't the end of it.
On the side, You Xue Demon Emperor and Golden Essence Demon Emperor were displeased.
"Taie, what do you mean by this?"
"Cai Ying clearly wants to join our Senluo Blood Hall, I plan on letting her inherit my legacy!"
"Who says so, I feel she is destined to join my Celestial Escape Pavilion..."
Well, now they're competing.
This scene of competing for a disciple typically only happens in small Sects.
Three top-tier Demon Emperors personally competing for a person, this is truly unprecedented.
Everyone didn't know what to say anymore.
All they felt was envy, jealousy, and resentment.
"How should I respond?"
Facing the recruitment by three Demon Emperors, Cai Ying didn't know how to reply.
The scene was a bit overwhelming, and she couldn't handle it.
"What else can you do, are you so overwhelmed by favor that you can't react?"
At the critical moment, Brother Cheng transmitted a message in time: "Just say, 'You are not worthy'."
"Should I really say that?"
Even Cai Ying, who had a change of heart, felt that this sentence might be too excessive.
After all, these are Demon Emperors!
Even if rejecting, she should at least be more tactful.
For example, thank them for their love, but she still wants to train outside for tens of thousands of years before considering.
However, Brother Cheng didn't care about this at all.
"You are my representative, and you represent me when you go out."
"Do you think I need to speak cautiously with mere Demon Emperors?"
As for the recruitment by the three Demon Emperors, he considered it nothing but a fart.
Back then, Ji Linghan and Lin Ning weren't recruited because of their excellent performance?
This so-called warm recruitment, on the surface, is due to the predecessors' love for talent, but deep down, it's a case of 'if you submit to me, you'll prosper, if not, you'll perish.'
If you agree, everything goes smoothly, but if you don't, it leads to suppression and retaliation.
Cai Ying could only brace herself, and under countless gazes, she uttered those four words.
"You are not worthy!"
This sentence was like a nuclear bomb thrown into a still lake.
Instantly, it turned the entire scene upside down.
The crowd, earlier filled with envy and jealousy, almost fainted with fright.
"What did she just say?"
"Even the three Great Emperors are not worthy?"
"The Nine-Star Demon Hall isn't good enough for her?"
"My heavens, has she gone mad?"
"To dare to disregard the three Great Emperors, is she courting death?"
Whether at the venue or watching through the transmission array across the Demon Realm, billions of demon cultivators couldn't help but roar and curse.
Even those who recently had a favorable impression of Cai Ying now felt she was arrogant and ignorant of death.
"Who does she think she is?"
"She's getting too full of herself..."
"No matter what, you can't talk to the Great Emperors like that!"
The smiles of the three Demon Emperors froze completely.
Their expressions darkened visibly and became terrifyingly gloomy.
"Heh, what did you just say?"
Taie Demon Emperor's eyes already flashed with a hint of murderous intent.
To be rejected, a grand Demon Emperor, is an unforgivable thing.
Especially in front of countless demon cultivators, being rejected by a Celestial Immortal.
How could he save face?
If not for considering that Cai Ying was a participant of the Evangelical Assembly and killing her would not leave a good influence, he would have slapped down without hesitation.
The might of the Emperor Realm cannot be violated.
You Xue Demon Emperor sneered coldly: "You have quite the guts, what do you think you are?"
"Refusing us is one thing, but to say we're not worthy?"
As the three Demon Emperors spoke, their murderous intent became undisguised.
Anyway, there is only one Cai Ying, not enough for three families to share.
Rather than letting the other two families or even the Immortal Realm take her away, better to simply kill her.
Moreover, even if her talent is great now, it doesn't guarantee she will become a Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact Master in the future.
Seeing this, Cai Ying finally understood why the Demon Lord was so disdainful of this group of Demon Emperors.
Their faces changed faster than flipping a book.
"I am a Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact Master, which of you is qualified to be the master of a Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact Master?"
In the face of the snarling and cursing crowd, she spoke loudly: "I said you are not worthy, is there a problem?"
"Please go home and look in the mirror, see what you can teach a Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact Master?"
Although her voice wasn't loud, the whole place quieted down again.
Immediately, uproarious laughter spread.
"Hahaha, what did she just say?"
"She is already a Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact Master?"
"Is she trying to laugh us to death?"
"A Celestial Immortal is already a Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact Master?"
"I admit her results in the first two assessments were unprecedented, but that and being a Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact Master are two different things, right?"
"I've never seen anyone so boastful in my life!" ๐ฏ๐ง๐ฎ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐ต.๐ฌ๐ธ๐
It's not that they are biased, but because a Celestial Immortal becoming a Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact Master is simply impossible.
Although Artifact Refiners do not focus on combat power, a Cultivator who can reach the level of a Seventh-grade Immortal Artifact Master at least reaches Demon Venerable in cultivation.
And a Grandmaster who can achieve the level of a Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact Master, their own cultivation is at least Early-stage Quasi-Emperor.
This is not a coincidence, but a rigid requirement.
Refining high-tier Immortal Artifacts needs to mobilize different attributes of Immortal Power, all of which require the Immortal Soul and sufficient Rule Realm to manipulate.
If the cultivation is too low, it simply cannot be done.
"In your Celestial Immortal Realm, becoming a Third Grade Immortal Artifact Master is already the limit."
Previously suffering a setback, Master Tu Qin suddenly appeared, giving a verdict on the spot.
"I initially thought you would become a remarkable figure in the future."
"But I didn't expect you to be just a madwoman."
"Truly disappointing, dare to claim to be a Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact Master?"
"In the last two assessments, you will definitely reveal your true self!"
Cai Ying glanced at him disdainfully and said lightly: "What if I'm still first in the last two?"
"Ha, ridiculous!"
Master Tu Qin shouted without hesitation: "If you are still first in the last two, I will kneel in front of everyone to apologize to you!"
"But if you can't do it..."
The three Demon Emperors interrupted him indifferently.
"If she can't do it, then naturally she will be left to you, Master Tu Qin, to deal with as you please!"
They spoke as if Cai Ying was their property.
