''What do you mean?''

Liu Mei was the first one to ask when she heard that, while Jiang Chen shot Bai Longtian a hostile glare at the same time.

The young white lord looked at Liu Mei and Jiang Chen for a moment, before he turned his attention towards Shun Long and explained with a serious look on his face

''As brother Shun Long may have heard, my father is the city lord of the 'White city' and is also a peak Dao King realm expert at the same level as the old king of the Shengtian dynasty, Sheng Jun.''

Shun Long nodded his head without a change in his expression. Indeed, he had already heard that the city lord of the 'White city', Bai Longtian's father was a powerhouse in the Night star continent, one that could even be compared to the old king of the Shengtian dynasty!

The look on Bai Longtian's face, as he took a deep breath before he continued

''However, what brother Long doesn't know, is that 30 years ago, a friend of my father's visited our Night star continent and came to our 'White city' to discuss something important with my father.

That person was a senior who was cultivating in the 'Dao of Fate' as well as someone who was many times stronger than my father, a Dao Emperor realm expert.

Since my father knew that this friend of his was a true powerhouse, as well as a respectable senior even in the central region, my father asked him to take me as his personal disciple!

Haha, of course, back then I was only 12 years old and had barely started cultivating, having only reached the peak of rank 1 in the qi condensation stage.

And yet, my father's friend didn't seem to mind my low cultivation, and since he was good friends with my father he decided to test my fate before he gave his answer. Naturally, my father didn't object to it, and was instead extremely happy that a Dao Emperor realm expert would personally test my fate.

However, when that senior tested my fate, he seemed startled and instantly refused to take me as a disciple without a second thought, despite being friends with my father for many years.

Instead, he looked at me for a few moments with his deep brown eyes that seemed to have turned even darker at that moment, before he said

<Child, your fate doesn't lie with me. If I take you on as my disciple, it will do you more harm than good. You will have a chance to find your true fate 30 years from now, if you participate in the Holy sect's test. A person whose fate even I cannot peer into will appear at that time.

If you follow that person, you will have a chance to exceed your limits and touch the absolute pinnacle!

Remember, that cultivation is to fight against the heavens and strive to reach the peak of the world... becoming an immortal!

Only by reaching the peak will you be qualified to hold your fate in your own hands!>

When that senior finished testing my fate, he bade farewell to my father before he left our Night star continent.

Of course, as for who that senior referred to as 'that person', after seeing the result of the ball of fate, it is impossible for it to be anyone else than brother Shun Long.

Ever since that day, I thought seriously of whether I should even take the Holy sect's test in the first place, or if I should stay in the Night star continent.

However, the truth is that I want to chase my dreams! I want to see what the peak of this world looks like! I want to see the pinnacle and hold my fate in my own hands! I want to become an immortal!''

Bai Longtian's emotions started to pour out along with his words, putting his heart and soul in every single sentence while his eyes seriously stared at Shun Long.

Finally, after a brief moment of silence he then continued

''So, I will choose to follow brother Long!

Of course, I know that nothing in life is absolute, and I know that my choice today may also be mistaken, causing me to die in the future as well. But I am willing to follow my heart and take this risk! As long as you are willing to accept me... I will follow you!''

The entire courtyard had fallen silent, as Liu Mei and Jiang Chen stared at the young man with black hair and blue eyes in front of Shun Long with different expressions in their eyes.

At the same time, Shun Long's gaze had turned extremely deep and profound as he stared at the young man in front of him.

Although their goals were entirely different as Jiang Chen wanted to save his mother and take revenge while Bai Longtian wanted to follow his dreams, Shun Long clearly recognized that the resolve in Bai Longtian's eyes and words wasn't inferior to Jiang Chen's in the slightest.

Of course, although Shun Long wouldn't simply accept anyone who asked to follow him regardless of their reasons, he also understood that Bai Longtian was extremely talented, and even in the Holy sect he could be considered a true genius.

Thus, having such a person follow him along with Jiang Chen and enter his faction as well wasn't a bad idea!

At the same time, Bai Longtian had actually left a good impression on him, since he was somewhat similar to Jiang Chen in the fact that he was sincere and explained his reasons without holding back.

Seeing that Shun Long wasn't responding right away, Bai Longtian took a step forward and stared at Jiang Chen who was standing by Shun Long's side before he continued

''Brother Long... the truth is that I didn't use my full strength during the sect's test!''

Jiang Chen's eyes widened slightly when he heard this, but an evil grin appeared on his face when he realized Bai Longtian's intentions.

He wanted to fight against him to prove his strength, not just to Shun Long, but to him as well!

If Shun Long decided to accept Bai Longtian in his faction, this would be the fight to see who would be his strongest and the second strongest general instead!

However, Shun Long's lips curved up when he heard Bai Longtian's words, before he smiled and said in an easy-going manner, almost as if he had already expected to hear this from Bai Longtian long ago

''I know.''

At that moment, Shun Long turned his eyes towards Jiang Chen who was obviously preparing himself for a fight and was sealing his cultivation to the early rank 4 of the Nascent Soul to match Bai Longtian's, before he said with that same smile on his face

''Jiang Chen, don't underestimate him or you may lose. Without your bloodline, you may not necessarily be able to win against him if you guys are at the same cultivation level.''
