Hearing Yu Jing asking him whether he wants to become a cultivator or not, Arash didn't hesitate one second.
"Yes, sir. I want to become a cultivator. Teach me how to become one. I don't want to ever feel cold again. I don't want anyone to leave me again. I want to be always by your side." Hugging the dragon egg, Arash yelled with sparking joy.
Arash's joy also influenced Yu Jing. He stood and said proudly. "Good, good. Your training will begin after the winter is over. Also, call me teacher now. Teacher Yu Jing!"
"As you wish, teacher." Despite the chilling cold in the air. Arash stood up and bowed towards Yu Jing.
A wide grin appeared on Yu Jing's face hearing Arash calling him teacher. "Okay, rest now. It's too cold now. Gather your mind properly. Teacher will let you see the cultivator world."
Yu Jing went onto his futon saying that. However, he also had another line that spoke, deep in his heart. 'Because such divine spirit can't be buried in the mortal world.'
In such an exuberant mood, when Yu Jing was about to sit down and continue cultivating. The system's voice came.
[ Ding! ]
[ Congratulations on accepting your first disciple. ]
[ Congratulations, you have unlocked a random dungeon. ]
[ Do you want to receive your reward? ]
'Forget about receiving it now. Tell me, what are the dungeons?' Of course, Yu Jing knows what a dungeon is. He just wants to check if there are any differences in the dungeons created by the system.
[ Dungeons are a small world where many monsters and enemies are held captive. You will receive rewards based on the completion rate. Many people in this universe are known as Secret World or Heavenly Grotto. However, dungeons created by the system are different. There is a set number of people who can enter, and there are also various requirements. All of these can be adjusted by the host. Also, you can't die inside the dungeon. ]
'System, what do you mean there are a set number of people who can enter and various requirements? Aren't the dungeons just for me?' Yu Jing quickly expressed his doubts. He knows this system has some hidden agenda, so he is always on his guard.
[ Host, because of your personality, the system assessed that you will get bored from constant fighting. So keeping that in mind, the system changed some rules. You will have disciples in the future. You can just use them to do the dungeons, and you will get a certain percentage of rewards. Also host, you can also do them yourselves if you can.
"Oh, system, you are so thoughtful. These dungeons are a lifesaver. I don't have to spend my time teaching others." Yu Jing was moved, as he felt this reward was too good for him.
Feeling himself in a bit of a jolly mood, he decided to use the remaining Extreme Destiny Pull.
The same rainbow ball of light floated before him. Without any expectation, he pulled the string below.
[ You have got Great Four Directional Array ]
[ Great Four Directional Array: A spirit gathering array that can enrich the Spiritual Qi. It also has the function to restrict anyone entering without the host's permission and can block attacks from below Mid Stage Soul Formation Realm cultivators. ]
"Wow, more great stuff. Since I took Arash as my disciple, my luck took off. Is he my lucky charm?" Yu Jing knew how much a good array mattered. An array is the backbone of any force. To gain a foothold, they must have one.
Despite living on the edge of the world, he was still always on alert. Now this array can have this worry fade away, purifying his cultivation mind further.
Suddenly, Yu Jing became eager to try the dungeon. His heart was telling him not to waste this streak of luck. He felt he might get some good rewards.
However, he has to set up the array. He won't be present to protect Arash while he is inside the dungeon, and no matter how safe his surroundings might be now, he couldn't guarantee they could stay the same.
Yu Jing planted the heart of the array in the middle of the room and went outside to set up the remaining points according to the system. After he came back, he activated the array.
Four piercing lights shoot through the sky, lighting up the blank pages of the world. Complex patterns appeared on the ground. They floated up and formed a dome-shaped structure.
After the array was activated, Yu Jing could feel the Spiritual Qi in the air further increasing and felt any single movement inside the array.
"Arash. Teacher will go somewhere. I don't know how much time it can take, but don't worry. I will come back, and I have set an array. No one can cause you any harm." Explaining everything to Arash, Yu Jing jumped into the portal before him. Disappearing quickly, not letting Arash ask or say anything.
Arash shrugged his shoulders before going inside the blanket. However, he hasn't even touched his blanket; Yu Jing appeared right on the spot he disappeared.
Arash jumped up and cried out in surprise. "Teacher! You are back already! Was it very eas-"
Arash halted in his sentence, seeing Yu Jing gasping for air while his face turned red.
"Teacher, has something happened?" Arash expressed his concerns. He has garnered a belief in his heart that his teacher is invincible. So, he was now worried about what might have caused his teacher to act this way.
After a few seconds passed by, Yu Jing's face returned to normal. He looked at Arash and answered with his signature smug face. "Nothing extreme happened. But!"
"But?" Arash clasped his hands and raised his eyebrows.
"But, teacher saw something horrible. He saw an unprecedented catastrophe that will hit this world. Of course, nothing can happen to the teacher. Except you! Teacher can protect you, but will you be willing to become a burden for your teacher?" Puffing up his chest, Yu Jing sternly questioned Arash.
