God of Pets

Chapter 790 Taking on a Disciple: Tai Sheng
"Don't bow yet, I haven't finished speaking. If you really want to become my disciple, I have three more conditions that you must abide by," Chen Guan said, stopping it.

"Master, just say the word. Let alone three conditions, even if it's thirty, three hundred, or three thousand, your disciple will listen to you," the Holy Palace Toad hurriedly said.

"The first condition is that you must not reveal my existence. I have come here to find a suitable disciple. If everyone knows my true identity, how can we test whether those secret spirits are worthy of being my disciples?" Chen Guan said.

“Master’s concerns are valid. I will never reveal your identity to anyone.” The Holy Palace Toad said this, but in his heart he was thinking, “Of course I can’t tell others your identity. If they find out, won’t they all be scrambling to become your disciples? Then I’ll be in a difficult position to be valued.”

"Secondly, I can only accept you as a nominal disciple now, not a formal disciple," Chen Guan added.

“I know you’re not very satisfied with my talent, but I’m absolutely loyal to you…” the Holy Palace Toad immediately croaked.

"Stop talking. You haven't even reached the Tenth Awakening yet. If I accept you as a formal disciple, wouldn't my friends laugh at me? If you want to become my disciple, you can only be a nominal disciple first. You can only formally join the sect after you reach the Tenth Awakening. If you are not willing, then go back now," Chen Guan said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Sheng Gong immediately kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Master, please don't be angry. This disciple is willing and will obey your orders. This disciple will definitely work hard to cultivate and advance to the Tenth Awakening as soon as possible, so as to become your formal disciple and not bring shame to you."

"That's good." Chen Guan's expression softened, and he said to it, "Third, whatever I do or say, you just need to do as I say. You can't question it or ask any questions. Can you do that?"

"Master, rest assured, your disciple will always obey your every word and will never utter a word of dissent. I will do exactly as you say," said the Holy Palace Toad.

"Very well, then I'll take you in." Chen Guan said, landing on a sand dune.

The Holy Palace Toad quickly flew down, knelt on the sand, and formally performed the apprenticeship ceremony, calling out, "Master."

“Now that you are my disciple, you should have a formal name of your own. I will name you Tai Sheng. Are you satisfied?” Chen Guan said.

"Thank you for bestowing this name upon me, Master." The Holy Palace Toad quickly bowed again.

Chen Guan waved it up and then said, "I have just arrived here and am not familiar with this place. I don't know where to find the secret spirits. Tell me where there are good secret spirits and the path around here."

The Holy Palace Toad quickly explained the situation in the vicinity in detail. However, even an existence like it could only travel within the Tearful Desert and dared not leave the desert to go to other places.

Moreover, in this Tearful Desert, the Holy Palace Toad is not considered a top-tier existence. Rather, it merely relies on the Heavenly Sacred Lake and the Azure Lotus of the Blue Sea for survival and does not possess its own power.

The true ruler of the Tearful Desert is called "Tearless Asura," a being comparable to the Heavenly Eye Evil God.

The Tearful Desert was merely one of his territories, ruled by the mysterious god general "Evil King" under the command of the Tearless Asura.

To call it a reign of terror is really just taking over the best parts of the Tearful Desert, leaving the rest of the land to roam freely, occasionally capturing some Mystic Spirits to eat when needed.

Because the environment of the Tearful Desert is too harsh and resources are scarce, the spirits that can survive here all possess some unique abilities.

Just like Tai Sheng, Tai Hu, and Tai Lian, if they don't unite, it will be difficult for them to continue growing in this place, and they might even be discovered and eaten by Evil King Luo.

However, the Evil King doesn't always come out to eat the Mystic Spirits, so there's usually no need to worry too much.

As for the area outside the Tearful Desert, as far as Tai Sheng knew, it was all the territory of the Tearless Asuras.

The Tearless Asura has five great generals under his command, and the Evil King is only one of them.

As for the other side of the Tearful Desert, it was originally the territory of the Heavenly Eye Evil God, but since humans appeared there, it has gradually replaced the Heavenly Eye Evil God.

Beyond that, it was beyond Tai Sheng's knowledge; having lived for so long, it had never left the Tearless Desert. "Speaking of the most talented spirit, it would naturally be the Tearless Asura, but that Tearless Asura is extremely arrogant, I'm afraid..." Tai Sheng didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear.

Chen Guan remained noncommittal and said to it, "Let's go take a look at Chaotian Sacred Lake first. I just happened to have collected some little guys as toys, so let's give them a bath first."

"Leave this to me. Although the three of us are interdependent, I am now their leader, and I have the final say in everything," Tai Sheng assured, patting his chest.

Chen Guan nodded with satisfaction, and Tai Sheng quickly led the way.

Before long, the man and the toad returned to the shore of Chaotian Sacred Lake.

"Master, please have a seat." Tai Sheng pulled a lotus leaf from the lake and extended it onto the shore, intending to use it as a chair for Chen Guan.

Chen Guan naturally wouldn't sit down. With a wave of his hand, a set of exquisite table and chairs, along with a tea set, appeared in front of him.

Tai Sheng's eyes lit up as he looked on, thinking to himself, "The top-tier spirits of the Sky Secret Realm are truly extraordinary; they can effortlessly wield great supernatural powers like spatial abilities."

With this thought in mind, Tai Sheng became even more respectful towards Chen Guan.

Chen Guan casually summoned the little tiger and had Tai Sheng lead it to bathe in the Chaotian Sacred Lake.

When Tai Sheng saw the little tiger, his eyes showed surprise and doubt. He looked at the little tiger with golden light in his eyes and found that the little tiger was exuding a kind of domineering aura.

Humans are not very sensitive to domineering aura, but mystical spirits can easily sense it.

That's because only a king-level spirit of a single race possesses such domineering aura; it's a natural aura of superiority.

The little tiger exudes an aura of dominance, indicating that it is a descendant of a king of its kind.

The reason why the Mystic Spirits are so sensitive to the domineering aura of the King is because if they weren't, they would likely become someone else's prey.

"The little things Master collected are all kings of their clans. No wonder they are top experts in the Sky Secret Realm!" Tai Sheng exclaimed inwardly, and took the little tiger to the Chaotian Sacred Lake.

The little tiger jumped straight into the lake and swam around, swallowing some water in the process.

This time, unlike the other pets, it wasn't corroded. After a while, the little tiger was still playing in the lake, showing no intention of coming up.

Tai Sheng was increasingly amazed as he looked around. Ordinary spirit cubs could not stay in the Chaotian Sacred Lake for such a long time.

Although the Sacred Lake of Chaotian has a strengthening function, if this strengthening is excessive, it will also cause harm to the body, just like pulling up seedlings to help them grow.

The length of time one can stay in Chaotian Sacred Lake, and how much lake water one can drink, depends on how much baptism one can withstand.

Even the youngest son of the Nine-Senses Mystic God would find it difficult to stay in the Sacred Lake for so long.

Little did it know that the tiger cub was no longer a cub; it was just small in size.

Moreover, it is indeed extraordinary, with a very different origin.
