The gentle voice of the Heavenly God echoed in the grand hall, but all eight Divine Generals stared at him in shock, not daring to believe that the Heavenly God would say such a thing.

  "The Ninth God General?"

  Teng Qing Shan looked at the Heavenly God with some surprise, and the Heavenly God's pair of small eyes seemed like black crystal jade, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking. The Heavenly God saw Teng Qing Shan hesitate, and continued: "Huhe, you have no sect or school, joining my Heavenly God Mountain will only bring benefits, not harm!"

  Li Jun smiled slightly beside him.

  She is the Goddess of Tian Shen Mountain, and in her heart, she also hopes that Teng Qing Shan can be with her in the same sect. Li Kun looks at Teng Qing Shan beside him.

  "Heavenly God!" Teng Qing Shan respectfully said, "Although I have no sect and no school, I have a master!"

  In his heart, Teng Qing Shan did not want to join the Heavenly God Sect, although he had betrayed the Returning Origin Sect at first. However, in his mind, for his masters Zhuge Yuan Hong, Zhuge Yun and Teng Qing Hu, Teng Qing Shan would never forget them. He had long since branded himself with the mark of the Returning Origin Sect!

  "Disciple?" The Heavenly God was not surprised at all, still smiling and said, "You can have such achievements without a master, it would be strange! Don't worry, I let you join the Heavenly God Mountain, but I didn't make you worship me as your master! Now my eight great heavenly generals in the Heavenly God Mountain are all my disciples. However, if you join, I won't force you to worship me as your master! My cultivation is of the Esoteric Sect, and your cultivation method is clearly different from mine. Moreover, you have reached the Golden Elixir of the Former Heaven... Cultivating to this point, it's impossible to change again, I couldn't possibly make you change to cultivate the Esoteric Sect!"

  The Heavenly God glanced at the First God and said 'Pei Yue Lei Mu'.

  Bo said, "Lei Mu has been following the heavenly god for the longest time and immediately understood the heavenly god's intention. He also looked at Cong Qing Mountain and opened his mouth with a heroic smile: 'Brother Huhe, the master didn't let you become his apprentice, but only let you take on the role of divine general! As a divine general, it will be beneficial for Brother Huhe to travel the world in the future! In the future, we can also often cross swords and exchange blows!"

  "Haha, Ninth God General." The Fifth God General 'Erl Qi' also laughed and said, "Huhe brothers, if you really become the Ninth God General. Then our Tiānshén Mountain will be nine great god generals, and you, are the strongest among them!"

  Bo said Lei Mu listened and intentionally smiled bitterly: "Younger brother, what you said is right. Huhe brothers became the ninth divine general, the strongest divine general is him!"

  The many gods of Mount Tian are ranked according to the length of time they have joined, and have nothing to do with their actual strength.

  "Hu He!" The heavenly god looked at Mount Tengqin.

  The entire hall fell silent, with all eyes on Teng Qing Shan, whether it was the Eight Great Godly Generals or the Heavenly Gods, and even Li Kun. Everyone hoped he would join Mount Heaven!

  "I've let down Master Tienshin's expectations!"

  Hong Qing Shan bowed his head and said sincerely, "To be honest with the Heavenly God, I will set sail immediately! I'll venture out to sea and cultivate myself properly! I won't stay on Tian Shen Mountain at all!"

  "Once you become a god general, no one will stop you from going out to sea!" The heavenly god smiled.

  Hong Qing Mountain shook his head, his eyes drifting away: "Going out to sea to cultivate is just a process of bitter practice. This life, I've been pursuing, wanting to step into the Void Realm. Once I step into the Void Realm, I'll establish my own sect and pass on what I've experienced and understood to my disciples! That's what I've always thought about, so I couldn't possibly join another sect!"

  "Founding a school of thought?"

  The Eight Great Divine Generals were shocked and then looked up at the Heavenly God!

  What is the status of Tiangong?

  That's a strong Void Realm expert! An invincible existence on the Great Plains! And today, Tiānshén (Heavenly God) repeatedly extended an invitation to Téng Qīng Shān with a smile. But Téng Qīng Shān repeatedly refused! They worried... would their master 'Tiānshén' become enraged?

  If it is not used for oneself, then it will be used by one's enemies! There are not a few people who hold this view.

  "Brother Huihe!" Li Kun hastily urged in a low voice.

  Teng Qing Shan looked up at the Heavenly God.

  The smile on Tian Shen's face seemed to have solidified, and those small eyes stared at Teng Qing Shan, as if very calm.

  "Hear me!" The voice of the heavenly god became low and resonated throughout the grand hall.

  "Tiangong." Deng Qing's attitude was very humble.

  The Heavenly God slowly spoke: "Reach the Void Realm? With your surname, Wu, and your innate talent, as long as you don't slack off, I believe that one day you will reach the Void Realm! Since you want to establish a sect... As the 'Heavenly God' of Heavenly God Mountain, I'll also lend you a hand! Presumably with your relationship with Miss Li Juan, you should know about the power behind Heavenly God Mountain!"

  Hong Qingshan was taken aback.

  Li Kun didn't say it explicitly, but Teng Qing Shan still knew... Tian Shen Mountain was just a branch of that powerful and terrifying dark force!

  "My disciples, as well as Miss Li Kun, all know this." The Heavenly God said slowly, "In the nine provinces of this land, there is a divine palace called 'Heavenly God Palace'! In the Heavenly God Palace, apart from the master of the palace, the highest position is that of the Heavenly Gods! I am one of them!"

  Hong Qing Shan's heart skipped a beat!

  Celestial God? Void Realm's Strongest? One of them?

  "No wonder Xiao Jue told me earlier that the power of her sect was enough to rival that of the Mani Temple!" Teng Qing Shan immediately understood that this powerful force probably had more than one strong master in the Void Realm!

  "Besides Tiangong, there is also a guest in the palace!"

  The Heavenly God looked at Tian Qing Mountain, "My Heavenly God Palace's guest minister, the position is second only to the Heavenly God. However, the guest minister and my Heavenly God Palace are just mutually helpful and do not count as completely under my Heavenly God Palace's control! The guest minister can also be the master of another sect. Precisely because one can get help from my Heavenly God Palace and also gain power outside of the Heavenly God Palace, so... it is very difficult to become a guest minister!"

  "Now I have two guests in Tiangong!"

  The words of Tiangong made Teng Qing Shan tremble with fear.

  Actually, Teng Qing Shan had long understood... that in a world with light there is darkness, and among the eight great sects standing high above, it's not impossible for a powerful force to be hiding in the darkness! It's just that this force's power has shocked Teng Qing Shan.

  "These two guests, one is an old ancestor from the East Sea, a strong practitioner of the Void Realm! The other guest is the number one strongman of the Western Regions' many kingdoms, secretly controlling several major kingdoms. Although he is only at the Pre-Heaven Golden Elixir level, in terms of actual strength, he can absolutely be ranked among the top three on the Heavenly Rankings." Tian Shen said without hiding anything.

  Teng Qing Shan took in a deep breath of cool air!

  Two great guests, one is a strong man from the East Sea Virtual Realm, and the other is the number one strong man from the Western Regions. Neither the East Sea nor the Western Regions are among the Nine Provinces. Naturally, they have never been counted in the "Heavenly Rankings".

  "The relationship between Kaito and Tenjin is like an alliance. Not a superior-inferior relationship. They mutually support each other!"

  "I, the Heavenly God, have a unique opportunity to choose one of you as my guest king!" The Heavenly God looked at Teng Qing Shan and said, "Huhe, are you willing to be the guest king of my Heavenly God Palace?"

  Teng Qing Shan held his breath and listened carefully.

  The heavenly god indeed valued him! The Heavenly God Palace has only two great guests, and each guest is absolutely a heroic figure! Donghai Old Ancestor, Xiyu Wangzhe! And the third one was him, Teng Qing Shan?

  "Hu He, Big Brother." Li Kun immediately lowered his voice and continued, "The position of Guest King, the power is only slightly less than that of the Heavenly God. It's even higher than us core disciples, and higher than the status of the Divine Generals! This, can be agreed to." The eight Great Divine Generals beside him also looked at Teng Qing Shan with some envy.

  But they don't envy!

  Because Teng Qing Shan's strength had convinced them, and Teng Qing Shan was clearly not old! Although the innate experts mostly looked young, but from their hair and temperament, everyone could tell. Like Zhao Dan Chen and Bei Yue Lei Mu, although they didn't look old, Zhao Dan Chen's hair was silver white, and Bei Yue Lei Mu's temples were also white.

  Secondly...

  These people who are close to the limit all have a faint aura of dusk! Rather than the vigor of young people! It's illusory, but congenital strongmen can generally tell.

  "Thank you, Heaven's Will, for looking down on me." Teng Qing Shan bowed and said, "This guest, if I were to establish my own sect or join another sect in the future, would the Heavenly Palace not obstruct it?"

  "No!"

  The heavenly god smiled and nodded, "Guest official, guest official, as the name suggests, it is for guests!"

  Hong Qingshan was well aware that such a powerful force was hidden in the land of Jiuzhou, yet it did not let the world know, how terrifying it was. To form an alliance with such a dark power would only bring benefits and no harm to future actions!

  "Thanks to the favor of the heavenly gods, I have accepted this guest minister position." Teng Qing Shan nodded and said.

  The smile of the heavenly god is even more radiant.

  Tiangong, an old fellow who has lived for over 400 years! With a single hand, he established Tiangong Mountain. What kind of astonishing eyesight does he have? He had already discerned the young man's potential from afar... In the future, he will become another Void Realm expert! For Tiangong Palace, having one more Void Realm expert as an ally can only be beneficial.

  ……

  Inside the Grand Hall of Tiangong Tower, laughter filled the air as everyone congratulated Tong Qing Shan!

  Welcome, noble guest!

  It can be seen that Tiangong attaches great importance to Qing Shan, and even Tiangong himself has only once exercised the power of selecting a guest minister.

  "Hu He!" The heavenly god flipped out a token that was entirely green from his bosom.

  "This is the token of the guest king, representing your identity!" The heavenly god said, throwing the token towards Teng Qing Shan. The token floated gently over, as if an invisible hand was supporting it, and finally hovered in front of Teng Qing Shan.

  Hong Qingshan reached out and took it.

  Taking a closer look, the token was entirely green, somewhat similar to jade, and when held in his hand, he could feel a faint warmth spreading through his body, making Tan Qing Shan feel refreshed.

  "The Guest Marquis Token is made from a large piece of 'Jade Heart' nurtured in the jade marrow of Yushan Island in the East Sea. This token is carved from part of that Jade Heart! Wearing it for a long time can unblock the meridians and warm the spirit!" The Heavenly God smiled, "Even with ordinary qualifications, wearing this can easily unblock all the meridians!"

  Hong Qing Shan stared at the token in his hand in shock?

  Jade Mountain? The jade heart nurtured in the Jade Marrow?

  "Ten thousand years of jade marrow, drinking a little can make the whole body's meridians unobstructed! The 'jade heart' nurtured by the jade marrow is likely to have an even more astonishing effect. This Tian Shen Palace is indeed rich and extravagant!" Teng Qing Shan secretly marveled, compared to Tian Shen Palace, his original sect, Gui Yuan Sect, was inferior by tens or hundreds of times!

  Li Jun next to him also winked at Teng Qing Shan.

  Hong Qingshan smiled slightly.

  Become a Tian Shen Gong guest minister and wait for yourself to return from the North Sea Continent. The Tian Shen Gong dark forces assist, helping oneself to return to the Yuan Zong, also has great benefits!

  "Hu He has already become a guest of the Heavenly God's Palace, this matter is settled! Everyone, last time I went out and discussed the 'Tian Shi Island' matter, now it's time to take action!" Tian Shen said.
