Enduring humiliation for three years, seizing the elixir, the treasure, and the holy maiden.

Su Chen heard this.

Suddenly, something came to mind.

"senior."

Su Chen spoke.

"That Mahayana cultivator."

Where are you now?

Master Hongfu glanced at him.

"Him."

"He lived in seclusion in Qingzhou."

"It has suppressed me for nearly a thousand years."

Master Hongfu uttered three words.

"This person's name is Li Changfeng."

boom.

Su Chen's mind went blank.

Li Changfeng.

Su Chen felt as if he had a breath stuck in his throat, unable to go up or down.

Li Changfeng?

That's not it.

Is it your own old master?

Su Chen remembered it clearly.

When I left Luoyun Sect.

Master Lao Deng, Li Changfeng.

He's clearly a Nascent Soul cultivator.

A Nascent Soul cultivator.

How did it become like that?

A Mahayana cultivator who had suppressed a Nascent Soul stage expert for a thousand years?

But whatever the reason.

We'll have to confirm whether they're true or not later.

The fact that he was a disciple of Li Changfeng.

Not a single word could be allowed to reach Master Hongfu.

She had a thousand-year-old feud with Master Li Changfeng, the old master.

It would be unwise to get involved yourself.

"senior."

Su Chen steadied himself.

"Then when this thousand-year period arrives..."

"That Senior Li."

"Why didn't they come back to set up new restrictions?"

Master Hongfu snorted coldly.

"Who knows?"

"Logically, this seal is loose."

"That old man is due to arrive."

"But I've been rescued for so long."

"He's doing well."

"Not even a shadow of them showed up."

"It's obvious."

The hand that was holding a strand of hair stopped.

"I don't plan to get involved in this matter anymore."

The reason behind this.

"It's likely that they have some connection with some force in the upper realm."

"Specifically."

Master Hongfu shook his head.

"I can't explain it either."

Su Chen remained silent.

In his heart, however, he had a different plan.

Master Lao Deng doesn't care.

It's not that I don't want to care.

Most likely, it's the master himself who's playing a much bigger game.

But this game of chess.

Su Chen still can't see things clearly.

"That's enough."

Master Hongfu seemed too lazy to delve any further into these matters.

She reached out her hand.

The ancient cultivation manual that Su Chen had been keeping close to his body suddenly flew out uncontrollably.

It landed steadily in the palm of Master Hongfu.

The scroll of martial arts techniques was badly yellowed, and the edges were curled up.

Master Hongfu gently stroked the cultivation technique with her fingertips.

A ray of light then entered.

"did you know."

As Master Hongfu gazed at the scroll of martial arts techniques, a hint of solemnity appeared in her eyes.

"What's this scroll called?"

Su Chen shook his head.

"Devouring Heaven and Chaos Technique".

Master Hongfu spoke each word slowly and deliberately.

"In this world."

"The most powerful Daoist cultivation technique."

Su Chen's breath hitched.

"This is not something we can have in the lower realm."

Master Hongfu handed the cultivation manual back to Su Chen.

"This is a cultivation technique from the upper realm."

"Those ancient cultivators who left behind this cultivation method."

"It was probably many, many millions of years ago."

"He has already ascended to the Spirit Realm."

Su Chen accepted the scroll of martial arts techniques with both hands.

I only noticed that the yellowed pages felt icy cold to the touch.

The cultivation techniques of the upper realm.

The ancient cultivators have already ascended to immortality.

Su Chen held the cultivation manual in his hand.

In my heart, I finally understand.

No wonder.

No wonder Master Hongfu regarded this scroll as a treasure back then.

No wonder I've encountered such powerful sword intent, like Luo Yun piercing the sun and tearing through space, all along my journey.

Nothing could stop it.

So that's where the root of the problem lies.

"I've deciphered the technique for you."

The Red-Robed Immortal slumped back onto the couch, looking languid.

"Our friendship."

"Back then, you actually helped me out of my predicament."

"Now, I will teach you this technique."

"So, we're even."

The Red-Robed Immortal swung her foot.

"I'm not that kind of person; I like to manipulate people."

"From now on, I won't stop you from being free."

"Want to leave, want to stay."

"what ever."

"Only one."

Master Hongfu raised one finger.

"Hundreds of years later, I will fight against the Heavenly Dao again."

"You must come."

Su Chen cupped his hands in greeting.

"I've got it."

As for the present situation...

Master Hongfu yawned.

If you don't mind.

"Stay here in my temple."

"Perfect, I'll clear out a quiet attic for you."

"Cultivation."

Her gaze suddenly fell on Jiang Shiyu, who was standing behind Su Chen.

"What?"

"You little brat."

"You want to go with him too?"

Jiang Shiyu was taken aback by this sudden question.

The ankle, hidden beneath the robe, unconsciously shrank back.

She opened her mouth.

I don't know how to answer.

Master Hongfu burst out laughing.

"I'm giving you advice."

"You'd better be careful."

Master Hongfu glanced at Su Chen.

"That kid is a total womanizer."

Su Chen: "..."

have to.

How did this conversation turn to me again?

"Compare him to Lin Wanwan, the one he brought last time."

The gaze of the Red-Robed Immortal lingered on Jiang Shiyu's face once more.

"As for looks."

"But it was just a few points short."

Jiang Shiyu's face flushed red instantly.

The redness started from the base of her neck and went all the way to the tips of her ears.

"You."

Master Hongfu shook his head, speaking with the air of someone who had been through it all.

"Without resorting to underhanded tactics."

"That kid's heart."

"I'm afraid we won't be able to keep him."

Jiang Shiyu bit her lower lip.

Those two little tiger teeth almost bit their lips raw.

She originally...

She never even considered what would happen between her and Su Chen.

But these words, when heard...

That's just how it is, I'm not convinced.

On what grounds?

Why do you say you're inferior to that Lin Wanwan?

Su Chen looked at Jiang Shiyu's sullen expression.

He gave a wry smile.

"senior."

"Please stop teasing her."

...

The newly vacated pavilion hangs on a cloud in the eastern part of the temple grounds.

It was naturally much smaller than the place where Master Hongfu lived.

Its advantage lies in its tranquility.

I opened the window and looked out; all I saw was a patch of clouds drifting slowly by.

Su Chen found a futon and sat down cross-legged.

Here, it is certainly not that Master Hongfu has imprisoned himself.

After all, with Master Hongfu's methods, she wouldn't need to beat around the bush if she wanted to keep an eye on herself.

Moreover, as long as he is on the Xuanhuang Continent, he cannot escape her divine sense.

Therefore, this can be considered as Master Hongfu truly arranging a place for himself to cultivate.

Based on this alone, Su Chen decided to stay here for a while.

Firstly, to comprehend the cultivation method.

More importantly, isn't this also a serendipitous opportunity?

As for the future, it might even bring many benefits to Luoyan City.

Jiang Shiyu went to the inner room.

Su Chen naturally didn't show her the Heaven-Swallowing Chaos Technique.

It's not that Su Chen is stingy.

Indeed, Master Hongfu had given instructions.

This technique is for Su Chen and Lin Wanwan.

Others don't have this blessing.

Jiang Shiyu was sensible enough not to ask any further questions.

He shut himself in and began to study the cultivation techniques he had taken from the library.

Su Chen unrolled the yellowed cultivation manual.

His divine sense plunged headlong into it.

He crawled inside.

Su Chen was completely infatuated.

...
