This primordial world is not serious!

Kunpeng slowly turned around, looking at the mighty Heavenly General before him, who was paying him such great respect. In those deep, profound eyes of his, there was a flash of reminiscing and an almost imperceptible smile.

He looked Wang Lingguan up and down, speaking in a slightly teasing tone: "Oh? So it's Wang Shan. Haven't seen you in years, and you've become more imposing and brimming with evil qi."

"If it weren't for the distinctiveness of the three eyes on your forehead, I almost didn't recognize you."

Then, as if he remembered something, he continued: "Let me think... You must be from the 47th 'Heavenly General Reserve Elite Training Class' of the Yushu Fire Mansion of the Taiwei Heavenly Court?"

"If I recall correctly, your graduation assessment that year was hosted by me personally."

"Exactly! Exactly!" Upon hearing this, Wang Lingguan's face immediately lit up with a brilliant smile. He nodded repeatedly in excitement, his voice trembling slightly.

"The Heavenly Master still recognizes me! I... I am truly honored!"

You must know, Heavenly Master Kunpeng holds a very high status in the hearts of all the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals of the Taiwei Heavenly Court.

After all, he's their chief instructor!

Although the Heavenly Master usually appears stern and enforces strict military discipline,

all the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals who have been trained by him know that the Heavenly Master is actually a good leader who truly cares for his subordinates and cherishes his comrades.

With those who are exceptionally talented and diligent, he is always generous with guidance and support; for those who have erred but sincerely repent, he is always willing to offer them a chance to amend their ways.

It can be said that at least half of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals of the Taiwei Heavenly Court have been directly or indirectly instructed and benefited by Heavenly Master Kunpeng, and hold a heartfelt admiration and affection for him.

Seeing Wang Lingguan's overjoyed demeanor, Kunpeng couldn't help but have a small smile at the corner of his mouth as he continued teasingly:

"Of course I recognize you, your teacher Master Xu Jing told me about your story. Master Xu Jing spent a lot of effort to take you as his disciple!"

Wang Lingguan and his teacher Master Xu Jing both came from a Great Thousand World in the Immortal Dao Plane.

Wang Shan was originally named Wang Er and had done many embarrassing things.

Later, he was convinced by Master Xu Jing, reformed his ways, and ascended to the True Realm with his teacher.

Afterwards, Master Xu Jing, having completed his merit, ascended along with his disciple Wang Shan to the Primordial True Realm.

Master Xu Jing chose to further his studies at Kunlun Academy of the Mystic Sect's Chan Sect, hoping to advance further on the Great Dao.

As for Wang Shan, due to his still fiery and combative nature, he chose to join the Taiwei Heavenly Court for an internship.

"Cough, cough... Heavenly Master! Heavenly Master! Those are bygone events that are not worth mentioning, please do not bring them up!"

Upon hearing Kunpeng revealing his "old secrets" in front of so many of his subordinates,

his originally red face blushed even further, turning as red as a monkey's butt, mortified to the extreme, wishing he could find a hole to hide in right then and there.

The Heavenly Soldiers from the Fire Mansion behind him, upon seeing this, all struggled to suppress their laughter, casting their gaze towards Wang Lingguan, their eyes filled with undisguisable flames of the Eight Diagrams.

[Under the Holy Heavenly Emperor above! Turns out our boss had an "unbeknownst glorious past"?]

[Tsk tsk tsk, I never would have thought! The boss who normally seems so righteous and dignified is also a student with stories to tell!]

[Hehe, I wonder if we can find related information about this on the Star Network.]

For a moment, the gossiping hearts of these Heavenly Soldiers blazed fervently.

If not for the presence of their chief instructor, Heavenly Master Kunpeng, standing right there, they'd likely have already scrambled to pull out their Star Network terminals to thoroughly search for all sorts of "dirt" and "wild historical anecdotes" about their boss, Wang Lingguan!

Kunpeng, seeing Wang Lingguan's embarrassed look, as if wishing for social death, was amused inwardly.

He knew enough was enough, and thus stopped teasing him further.

Anyway, there was nothing important today, so he took the opportunity to chat idly with Wang Lingguan and his subordinates, the Heavenly Soldiers, on the streets of Tongming City, to get a feel of the "public sentiment" and understand the living conditions of the grassroots Heavenly Soldiers.

"How long has your squad been stationed in the Xuanyun Great World?" Kunpeng asked casually.

Wang Lingguan quickly collected himself, politely answering: "Reporting to the Heavenly Master, if we calculate by the time of the Primordial True Realm, we have been stationed in this realm under orders for precisely five hundred years now."

"For these five hundred years, we have all worked diligently, not daring to be the slightest bit negligent."

"I and my brothers have divided into countless avatars, responsible for patrolling every corner of this Xuanyun Great Universe."

"We project our divine thoughts into the many Medium Thousand Worlds and Small Thousand Worlds subordinate to this realm, maintaining the laws of the Heavenly Court, eradicating evils and supporting the weak, punishing wickedness and promoting virtue, ensuring the beings of this realm can live in peace and the Great Dao can be spread smoothly!"

Hearing this, Kunpeng nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of approval at the loyal and diligent attitude of Wang Lingguan and the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, feeling quite pleased.

This also gave him more confidence in the two reforms advocated by Emperor Taiyi: "Unifying the Acquired Language" and "Establishing the Divine Sect."

After all, any grand blueprint requires countless grassroots executors like Wang Lingguan, fighting on the front lines, to put it into practice step by step, in order to truly realize it.
