Sheng Fu

Chapter 1267 New Fire
Yan Lie said calmly, "Let's not talk about these things. Just go ahead and do your thing. Plans can never keep up with changes. In the original plan, after you won the Great Contest, Senior Gui Chen and I would then do our best to help you fight against 'Tai'."

"In fact, Gui Chen has been secretly protecting you all along."

"We have lived for so long that we have long since lost our obsession with winning and losing, but we are particularly concerned about right and wrong in essence."

"But we ourselves are too lazy to fight, because we can see where our limits are. Even if we fight at all costs, we can't break the deadlock, let alone create a variable."

"You emerged in this era, and we see endless possibilities in you."

"The times have chosen you."

"Senior Guichen and I have also chosen you."

"Back then, when 'Tai' destroyed the Guangyin Clan, it actually aroused the indignation of the whole world. But there was nothing we could do. He was too powerful, and there were many things we dared not say."

"Everyone wants to be the sole ruler, but the masses don't like that person."

"In my and Senior Guichen's deductions, if the Time Clan had survived to this day, even if they had haphazardly managed the River of Time, the river would have branched out, giving rise to different civilizations and beliefs."

"The world shouldn't be this small."

"But it is precisely because of 'too' that the world is getting smaller and smaller."

"I was very angry, but there was nothing I could do because I couldn't beat 'Tai'."

"Great things and great people often happen unexpectedly."

"I've wanted to help you for a long time, but I'm afraid that if I push you too hard, it will corrupt your mind and make you feel like you still have someone to rely on, which will lead to your true self being tainted."

"Nowadays, it's no longer about forcing growth; your success is purely a matter of timing and fate."

Yuwen Jun was slightly taken aback, her eyes glazed over, and said, "Senior Guichen has been protecting me all along?"

Yan Lie chuckled and said, "If it weren't for Senior Gui Chen's protection, you would have already been exposed when you brought the Guangyin Clan youth back to the Guangyin Ruins."

"I knew the Blade of Time was still there, but I didn't expect that the seal would also be there."

"Some things are hard to explain. The Blade of Time may be hidden in some corner, waiting for the right person to open it. Tai didn't take the Blade of Time seriously either. In the end, it was just a divine weapon. But that seal is too much of a karmic connection. In my and Senior Guichen's calculations, when the Time Clan was destroyed, they should have thrown that seal into the spacetime turbulence. I didn't expect it to still be left in the Time Clan's ruins."

"A dark event unfolded right under the nose of 'Tai'."

"What surprised me the most was that the unfortunate young man you unintentionally adopted and rescued was actually the last bloodline of the Time Clan."

"Whether by chance or by design, this last ember has truly given me hope that it could ignite a prairie fire!"

"Actually, I was excited at that moment."

"But I can't be too obviously excited. After all, I am your senior, so I need to maintain the demeanor and dignity that a senior should have."

"For countless years, wars have raged across the world, but in our eyes, they are nothing more than fleeting sparks."

"But this time, it's really different."

For a moment, Senior Yan Lie was in high spirits and talked a lot. Jing Peiyao and the four members of the Taoist Xuanzong also noticed that the face of this Vermilion Bird King actually revealed a rare trace of youthful vigor and ambition.

Jing Peiyao glanced at Yuwen Jun out of the corner of her eye, secretly sighing at how well this guy was liked by his elders, to an absurd degree.

In a daze, she returned to the scene of her first encounter with Yuwen Jun at Bailu Mountain. At that time, Yuwen Jun was a seemingly aloof and leisurely elegant young man, and Jing Peiyao subconsciously thought that Yuwen Jun might be pretending to be elegant.

When Jing Peiyao learned that Yuwen Jun had become Gu Yong's disciple, she suddenly realized that Yuwen Jun was not a simple character.

There's no way around it; girls from poor backgrounds who are also meticulous tend to have a somewhat limited perspective. They only change their opinion of a person or a matter after seeing the clear underlying reasons and the outcome.

Later, Yuwen Jun became the leader of the Eight Worthies and became famous throughout the world. At that time, the Emperor deliberately restrained Yuwen Jun in order to support Xu Huanshan.

If those storms had fallen on an ordinary young man, he would have inevitably fallen into the swamp of power and desire and been unable to extricate himself. But Yuwen Jun never cared about it and boldly established the Hengchang Sect, doing what he believed to be right without regard for anything else.

This courage was naturally noticed by many righteous old men.

A person's true nature is really important.

Regardless of whether a person will have a bright future, as long as their heart is pure, they will not fall into depravity. As long as they do not fall into depravity, they may achieve something that is not hindered by human relationships and power struggles.

Many things that can be traced often originate from the unseen.

For example, Yan Lie and Senior Gui Chen had never interacted with Yuwen Jun, yet they respected Yuwen Jun from the bottom of their hearts.

It may seem that Yuwen Jun took a shortcut, but in reality, it was a natural and inevitable process.

Once the streams in the valley converge at a certain fork, they can instantly form a vibrant river.

No one knew that Yuwen Jun bore the heavy responsibility of reviving the Dragon Clan, yet he also had to spare time to care for the poor and support the weak, striving to let the light of justice shine on everyone. The risks he took were immense.

However, most people only see that Yuwen Jun suppressed the once powerful and wealthy families to the point of being unable to raise his head, was a guest of honor of the Human Emperor and the Spirit Emperor, and was the de facto ruler of the Demon Realm.

But in those dark nights without a bright moon, Yuwen Jun also felt that he was struggling to move forward, and even doubted whether he had run out of ideas. Although he had the advantage of being the young master of the Dragon Clan, the Dragon Clan was already in decline. Even at the height of the Dragon Clan's power, it could not withstand the chaotic currents of the Five Clans World.

Many feelings are beyond words.

But it will silently take root and sprout in your heart, connecting with the world.

At this moment, Yuwen Jun still felt the gentle breeze and bright moon spreading through his heart.

"Where is your training ground, senior?" Yuwen Jun asked intently.

Seeing Yuwen Jun's high spirits, Yan Lie subconsciously reminded him, "You can't rush into the Half-Step Myriad Ends. You have to do it as you please. I know you're anxious, but with me, you don't need to worry about anything."

“We will personally protect you, so you can cultivate in peace and without worry.”

"Don't worry, neither the Demon Lord nor the God Emperor can find this place."

"Therefore, you don't need to worry about the Demon Lord and the God Emperor attacking you in advance."

When a person suddenly gets excited, they may accomplish something, but just as easily, they may also rush headlong into a ditch.

Sometimes, the more urgent the situation, the more important it is to be methodical and proceed slowly.

The four men—the nameless old man, Hengyun, Langfeng, and Changle—subconsciously observed Yuwen Jun's current demeanor. He appeared somewhat carefree, like a young man in the prime of his youth.

They couldn't say whether this state of mind was good or bad. Even if they wanted to offer Yuwen Jun some guidance, they were powerless to do so, because sometimes, a sudden flash of inspiration is the most crucial finishing touch.

Yuwen Jun stretched and smiled gently, "Senior, there's no need to worry. I have my own destiny. It's just that the feeling of being recognized by a big shot I don't even know is truly a blessing and I feel deeply honored."

Yan Lie raised an eyebrow slightly, a half-smile on his face, and asked, "Really?"

Yuwen Jun replied without hesitation, "Really!"
