Hearing this, Brother Cheng's mouth twitched, too exhausted to retort.
Old man, are you trying to take advantage of me too?
Do I have a face that says "apprentice"?
But he didn't need to refuse, because both King Lv and Prince Yi stood out.
"Daoist Venerable Tian Lin, this is against the rules!"
"That's right, the Celestial Palace has heavenly laws and rules. You can teach skills, but no one is allowed to formally take on disciples."
If a disciple takes on disciples, and those disciples take even more, a sect full of direct lineage descendants will appear after a few generations.
In the past, the Ten Celestial Emperors saw many sects and noble families oppressing loose cultivators. To prevent such interest groups from forming in the Celestial Palace, taking on disciples was strictly forbidden.
The intention behind this rule is actually good.
However, the Celestial Palace isn't devoid of master-disciple relationships.
