The Demon Lord's persona must not be ruined!

Chu Yuan was somewhat surprised.

Youyue went to activate the Void-Crossing Divine Ship.

Li Tu then helped the Shuiyue Sect rebuild its sect.

Qianji instead spoke to him privately.

"explain."

"Master, I now know about your cultivation level!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuan almost jumped up.

That shouldn't be happening!

In the future, won't you still be diligently promoting your own greatness?

Chu Yuan almost doubted whether he had misheard.

He carefully chose his words and said softly:

"You know everything?"

Qianji laughed:

"I dare not say I know everything, I can only say I have a guess!"

Chu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

A guess is good!

You can find an excuse to fool them!

Chu Yuan's mind raced, but his expression remained impassive:

"Actually... this is for..."

"To retrace the path of spiritual practice!"

Qianji said with certainty.

Ok?

Chu Yuan blinked.

Ancient texts record that there were immortals in the mortal world who underwent tribulations, transformed into mortals to embark on the path of cultivation again, and when they reached the summit once more, that was the day of their ascension.

"Is this the path the leader is taking?"

Chu Yuan remained silent for a long time.

It seems this guy has misunderstood.

But the problem is!

I'm not a god myself!

Even if he reaches his peak in the future, he will only be at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage!

If we can't ascend, wouldn't that give us away?

Chu Yuan pursed his lips and said calmly:

"Seemingly true, but actually false!"

Qianji nodded thoughtfully.

Also!

The leader is a man of great talent and ambition; he should follow his own path, not the path of the ancients.

Seeing that Qianji was still imagining things, Chu Yuan hurriedly spoke up:

"It's already quite clever that you could see that!"

Upon hearing this, Qianji's lips curled into a smile, then he waved his hand dismissively:

"Not at all, I merely know a few more secrets. Moreover, the sect leader has never truly hidden anything. Especially today, when he broke through to the Dao at the Shuiyue Sect, although his aura was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, the Dao charm he exuded was undeniable."

Although Qianji had never been in contact with the sect leader before, he was extremely familiar with the overwhelming Daoist aura.

That is domineering, an invincible path that proves the Dao through force!

Today, the leader has reshaped the foundation of the Dao, adding the will of freedom to the invincible path.

So he made the connection and understood.

Qianji seemed to have thought of something, lowered his voice, and took half a step forward:

"Master, in that case, would you like me to... arrange some calamities for you?"

Chu Yuan almost lost his composure.

Arrange a calamity?

I'm trying to avoid this, and you're making arrangements for me?

"No need!"

He interrupted a little abruptly, then realized his mistake, coughed lightly, and softened his tone:

"I already have a plan."

Qianji was taken aback, then nodded:

"Indeed. The Master possesses immense divine power; having chosen this path, he must be absolutely certain of success. Your subordinates need only do their duty and refrain from adding anything unnecessary."

A sense of awe welled up in my heart.

Unexpectedly, the cult leader had already arranged his own calamity.

That's truly terrifying!

Chu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

He suddenly remembered something and asked:

"Since you can see that I have returned to the path of cultivation, why do the Seventh Elder and the others still suspect that I have suffered a cultivation deviation and lost all my cultivation?"

This is something Chu Yuan must figure out.

Logically speaking, knowing that one is retracing the path of spiritual practice, one should not protect them.

Unlike now, where they're targeting me for no reason!

Qianji raised his head, a hint of disdain in his voice:

"Perhaps they... don't believe it."

Chu Yuan raised an eyebrow.

Qianji explained:

"The matter of immortals is, after all, just an ancient legend. The three venerable ones of this world—the Dao Venerable, the Demon Venerable, and you, the sect leader—are all at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage. They seem to be just one step away from the legendary immortal gate, but in reality, they are an insurmountable chasm."

"For hundreds of years, no one has taken this step, nor has anyone seen a celestial being who has refined his heart in the mortal world."

He paused, his tone calm:

"They don't believe it because they can't do it."

"It's human nature to assume that others can't do what you can't do yourself."

After listening, Chu Yuan remained silent for a moment.

That... seems to make some sense.

Chu Yuan joked:

"If that's the case, do you really believe that I can take that step?"

Qianji replied without hesitation:

"Of course the cult leader can!"

Chu Yuan became interested and asked in surprise:

Why?

Qianji pointed to his heart:

"My heart tells me that the cult leader must be an immortal!"

what?

Chu Yuan's lips twitched.

He initially thought Qianji's reason was that he had done something wrong.

And that slogan that made the Xuantian Sect great again.

I never imagined it was just based on intuition!

Not a buddy?

Is this a man's sixth sense?

Isn't that a bit too casual?

Qianji said earnestly:

"Over the past thousand years, I have seen all sorts of people, but only the current leader inspires my utmost trust. Therefore, I believe he will be the number one immortal in the Cangxuan Realm since the ancient times!"

Chu Yuan was so flattered that he fell silent.

Well, how should I put it?

This is the first time someone has trusted me so much.

Although Chu Yuan hoped that person was a sweet and lovely fairy, not the black-robed man in front of him!

That's it!

Once I become a powerful figure in the Tribulation Transcending stage, I'll try to see if I can become an immortal!

For now, let's try to appease this guy!

Chu Yuan hesitated for a moment, then mumbled:

"My current realm has indeed reached an inconceivable level."

Upon hearing this, Qianji's eyes gleamed with excitement:

"It is a great fortune for the Xuantian Sect that the Sect Leader has taken this step. Your subordinate is willing to follow the Sect Leader and together attain the Great Dao."

Chu Yuan nodded quietly.

Just then, Youyue flew over.

She saw Qianji standing in front of her.

So he silently stepped into the middle and said to Chu Yuan:

"Master, the flying boat is ready and can depart to return to the sect at any time."

Chu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, finally he didn't have to talk about that topic anymore.

Sometimes having too high expectations can also be a form of pressure.

"Where is Li Tu?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Li Tu flew over:

"Master! I've finished repairing the protective formation for the Water Moon Sect! Shall we go? I'd like to go back and ask you for guidance on your fist techniques!"

!! ?

Upon hearing this, Youyue turned to look at Li Tu.

You went to ask him about boxing techniques, and here I am, hanging out with the cult leader...

Oh no, I meant to let the leader focus on his cultivation!

She instinctively retorted:

"You call that swordsmanship? That's just wild, uncontrolled punching."

"Bullshit! I call that returning to simplicity!"

"Turtle Fist".

"you!"

Chu Yuan rubbed his temples, feeling as if he had just transmigrated.

These two guys always start arguing the moment they meet.

That's enough.

The two immediately shut up.

Chu Yuan arrived on the Void-Crossing Divine Ship and flicked his sleeves:

Islam.

Youyue nodded, glanced at Li Tu through her eyes hidden behind her veil, and started the divine ship.

The Void-Crossing Divine Ship trembled violently, runes swirling as it tore through the sea of ​​clouds.

Outside the porthole, the mountains and rivers of the Western Regions rushed past.

Chu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze calm.

I haven't been away from home for very long.

I wonder how the Xuantian Sect is doing now.

Now, surely those elders can't doubt that they've lost all their cultivation, right?

After all, what sect leader would lose all his cultivation and then go and recruit other sects as his underlings?

Next.

Surely I can finally give myself a quiet time to cultivate myself?
