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

"Shall I assist you, disciple?"

"Master, you are at the Mahayana stage."

"For cultivators from the upper realm to annihilate cultivators from the lower realm, isn't that a piece of cake?"

"With my meager cultivation, going up there would only be suicide."

Li Changfeng waved his hand.

"You've got it wrong."

"The structure of the upper realm is not what you think."

Li Changfeng picked up the tea and moistened his throat.

"The upper realm is composed of countless cultivation stars."

"Each cultivation star has one or two sects guarding it."

"In addition, there are several neutral cultivation stars."

"That is the largest capital city in the upper realm, and also the gathering place for all the wandering cultivators in the world."

Su Chen listened intently.

These were all things he had never heard of before.

"Don't assume that all the cultivators in the upper realm are old monsters."

Li Changfeng chuckled.

"Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators are everywhere."

"You've reached the Void Refinement stage, which isn't too weak even in the Upper Realm."

"only."

Li Changfeng tapped his fingers on the table.

"Most of the elders of ordinary sects in the Upper Realm are at the Integration Realm."

"Most of the sect's supreme elders are at the Mahayana stage."

Su Chen's heart sank.

The Integration Realm is a legendary existence in the lower realm, like the Red-Haired Immortal.

Upon reaching the Upper Realm, he found himself to be only at the level of an ordinary elder.

"And... what about beyond the Mahayana stage?"

Su Chen couldn't help but ask a question.

"Above the Mahayana stage, there are several other realms."

A hint of apprehension crept into Li Changfeng's voice.

"But don't worry."

"Old monsters of that level rarely show themselves."

"Once you reach that level, who cares about these little squabbles in the spirit world?"

"Everyone is thinking about breaking through the shackles of the spirit world."

"Go and seek the origin of the Great Dao."

The Great Way originates from the origin.

The heavens above were far more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

Su Chen already had a plan.

I absolutely have to go to the spirit world.

Moreover, he now has some influence in the Xuanhuang Continent.

It can be used in Luoyan City, Xueyuan Pavilion, and even in the sect of his disciple Ying Ning'er.

In addition, his lowly servant Wang Mei seems to have some connections in the rogue cultivator world of the Xuanhuang Continent.

According to Su Chen's thinking, they should be able to find it within about thirty years.

"Within thirty years."

"This disciple will certainly give Master an answer."

"I only hope that Master will not break his promise."

Li Changfeng looked at Su Chen's confident demeanor.

This kid dares to make such a bold statement.

It seems there really is some way.

"it is good."

"I'll be waiting for you."

Su Chen agreed, but did not turn around immediately.

The smile in those eyes gradually faded.

"Master."

"I have one last request."

Li Changfeng held his teacup and slightly raised his eyelids.

"speak."

"Master knows who I am."

Su Chen's tone turned cold.

"Never leave any trouble for yourself."

"Han Ye must die."

The air in the hall seemed to freeze for a moment.

"Especially this time."

There was a chill in Su Chen's voice.

"This scoundrel actually dared to attack my father-in-law's sect."

"Spirit stones, spirit ore, he didn't miss a thing."

"If I let him go."

"My resolve is uneasy!"

Li Changfeng put down his teacup.

The old man originally intended to be a peacemaker.

Han Ye was, after all, a Nascent Soul cultivator whom he had personally mentored.

The sect is currently in need of manpower, and is in dire need of someone like this to run errands.

But when Li Changfeng looked up, he met Su Chen's eyes, which were as cold as a frozen pool.

Li Changfeng sighed silently in his heart.

This kid is no longer the honest and simple outer disciple he used to be.

This decisiveness and ruthlessness, this determination to leave no future troubles.

This strike is inevitable.

"Su Chen."

Li Changfeng stroked the rough pottery teacup.

"This person is still useful to me at the moment."

"As your master needs to solidify your physical body and gather the source of your spiritual veins, you'll need a few Nascent Soul cultivators to run errands for you."

"He's of high moral character and obedient."

"If I kill him, I really won't be able to find a replacement in a short time."

Su Chen didn't speak.

But his gaze remained unwavering.

Li Changfeng saw this and sighed again.

If it weren't for the fact that Su Chen is such a valuable kid...

If it weren't for the fact that I was still counting on this kid to help me find the source of the spiritual veins in the Xuanhuang Continent.

Today, Li Changfeng is determined to protect Han Ye no matter what.

"so."

Li Changfeng ultimately backed down.

"The day my physical body is formed."

"You may kill or torture Han Ye as you see fit."

"I will never stop you again."

Su Chen's brows remained furrowed.

"But at this critical juncture..."

Li Changfeng's tone softened.

"If you leave like this, you will definitely be unhappy."

"Your teacher grants your request."

"Cut off his arm."

"I'll punish you and get revenge for you."

That's enough.

Su Chen remained silent for a moment.

He understands.

This is already the greatest favor that Master can bestow.

An ancestor in the Mahayana stage was willing to take such a step back for himself in the body of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Anyone else wouldn't even be able to find the door.

"There's one more case."

Li Changfeng added a sentence.

"Han Ye's intentions are crooked; he should be punished."

"But Razer is different."

"He's an honest and straightforward person."

"Your outburst today must not affect Lei Sha."

Su Chen then slowly exhaled.

"Disciple understands."

"make a deal."

...

The sound of wheels rolling outside the palace gates had grown closer again.

A figure stepped through the palace gates, following the sound.

He wore a dark blue robe, and the bloodstains on his shoulder had dried into a dark patch.

It was Wang Mang.

In the battle just now, Wang Mang used all three forms of thunder magic, and his primordial spirit was still somewhat weak.

Now that Li Changfeng has summoned me for a meeting, I'm quite quick to arrive.

Su Chen and Li Changfeng finished their conversation just in time.

Su Chen turned around, nodded to Wang Mang at the door, and was about to walk out.

Wang Mang stopped him.

"Why don't you stay in the sect a little longer?"

"It's rare for Master to come back."

Su Chen waved his hand.

"I've said everything that needed to be said."

"The longer you stay, the more trouble you'll cause."

The figure in the furious blue robe swept past Wang Mang, leaving a trail of wind.

Su Chen left the main hall without looking back.

Wang Mang stood there, gazing at that retreating figure, opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing more.

Li Changfeng picked up the tea and slowly took a sip.

"Ignore him."

Li Changfeng's gaze fell on the palace gate where Su Chen had disappeared, revealing a hint of deep meaning.

"That kid."

"I'll have to come back sometime."

...

The plaza in front of the mountain gate no longer bears the traces of glass left from the battle.

Lei Sha and his disciples replaced the stones with new bluestone overnight.

The sun was shining brightly on the stone surface, giving it a rough, white sheen from the recent carving.

Hundreds of disciples gathered in the square.

Lei Sha and Han Ye, two Nascent Soul elders, sat on the stone platform in front of the square, one on each side.

He was preaching and teaching these disciples.

Just now, Su Chen forced me to kneel down in front of everyone at the mountain gate and made me call him "senior".

Han Ye will probably never forget this humiliation for the rest of his life.

...
