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

This question completely stunned Li Changfeng.

In his early years, Su Chen was of average talent and was the one with the lowest cultivation level in the Luoyun Sect.

Back then, Li Changfeng took a liking to him at first sight and made him his true disciple.

What he was after was this kid's body, which was exceptionally well-suited to his method of possession.

later.

Li Changfeng found an even better method, which is the secret technique for refining a new body.

The matter of possession was thus considered settled.

It's just that kid Su Chen.

A complex feeling arose in Li Changfeng's heart that he couldn't quite explain.

The affection is genuine.

Especially the timid boy from back then, who has become so decisive and ruthless when they meet again.

That complete transformation made Li Changfeng feel a sense of appreciation from the bottom of his heart.

He was genuinely considering nurturing this kid properly.

Now, hearing Su Chen ask such a direct question...

Li Changfeng was not angry at all; on the contrary, he felt that this was the kind of personality the kid should have.

He is thoughtful and vigilant enough.

"This old man..."

Li Changfeng slowly put down the cup of tea.

"I swear by the Way."

"Absolutely not, it wouldn't be good for you, kid!"

Su Chen listened quietly, and the anxiety that had been hanging over him finally subsided.

"If Master does not betray me."

"Your disciple will never betray you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Chen flipped his wrist.

The ink jade slip landed steadily in Li Changfeng's palm.

...

Li Changfeng put the jade slip into his sleeve, and after a brief scan with his divine sense, the wrinkles on his face smoothed out.

The old monster, at this moment, was genuinely in the mood for reminiscing.

"Back then, I betrothed the Holy Queen Wang Yuyan of the Misty Rain Pavilion to you."

Li Changfeng looked at Su Chen with a hint of respect that only an elder would have for him.

"Now I see how loving you two are, supporting each other."

"It wasn't in vain that I put in so much effort back then."

Su Chen cupped his hands in acknowledgment of the favor.

"but."

Li Changfeng changed the subject.

"I would like to arrange another Daoist partner for you."

Su Chen raised an eyebrow.

"This marriage is crucial to your future standing within the Haori Sect as my true disciple."

"It is extremely important to you."

"If you want to gain a foothold in that upper realm, this is the only way."

Su Chen frowned.

"But I already have several Daoist partners."

"A few days ago, a marriage was arranged at Xueyuan Pavilion."

Li Changfeng glared at him.

"madness!"

"With your sensitive and perceptive nature, you should know this best."

"Your Daoist partners, with their current cultivation levels, simply cannot ascend to the Upper Realm."

"Do you know how many Nascent Soul cultivators there are in this world?"

"Why is it only at the Void Refinement stage that one dares to entertain the thought of ascension?"

Li Changfeng tapped his fingers heavily on the table.

"That's because that boundary gate is something that a Nascent Soul cultivator's flesh and blood body simply cannot withstand."

"Only those at the Refinement of Emptiness or above can pass through the door."

"Or else?"

"That is, possessing the realm token of a sect from the upper realm!"

"Just like the pageboy that Lin Zhiya brought, he relied on a boundary token."

"But this Realm Token is extremely difficult to obtain."

Li Changfeng stared at him.

"Within three years, I will be able to refine this body and fully adapt to it."

"You little rascal, you'd better plan ahead."

Su Chen lowered his eyes and remained silent for a moment.

He couldn't find fault with what he said.

What I sought was the path to immortality.

He had already tasted enough of the cruelty of the cultivation world.

Those Daoist partners were all quite talented.

It's only a matter of time before I reach the Void Refinement stage.

At worst, once we've established ourselves in the upper realm, we can find an opportunity to descend to the lower realm and bring them all up.

As for the marriage that the master wanted to arrange for him.

She must be a female cultivator from the upper realm.

Regardless, I have to agree to this first.

Upon first entering the Upper Realm, I was completely in the dark and had to rely on Li Changfeng's arrangements for everything.

Su Chen had no reason to refuse.

...

Above Tian Shu Star City, the sky suddenly darkened.

Dark clouds rolled in from all directions, twisting into a huge vortex.

At the center of the vortex, a terrifying spatial rift slowly opened up.

The gates opened wide.

All the cultivators within a thousand miles, whether they were independent cultivators in the market or old monsters hiding their heads and tails, were startled by this strange phenomenon and all looked up at the sky.

A graceful figure hovered beneath the gate.

Master Hongfu.

That silk gauze dress, which had been hidden away at the bottom of a storage bag years ago, has finally seen the light of day again.

Her skirt swayed gently in the wind, revealing a glimpse of her fair ankles.

"I have occupied this Tian Shu Star City for a long time."

The sound was clear and melodious, resounding throughout the entire sky.

"Today, we will leave this realm and head to the upper realm."

"If there are cultivators from the upper realms who try to stop us."

"There may be a war."

Hong Fu glanced at the dense crowd below.

"However, even so."

"This is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity for you cultivators who have reached the Void Refinement stage."

"Anyone willing to accompany me to the Upper Realm?"

"Come on then."

As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion arose in the crowd.

The three unassuming Void Refinement Elders of the Star Luo Sect were the first to make their move.

One of them was the one named Miluo.

The other two remained shrouded in gray robes, refusing to reveal their true faces.

"We are ready to go."

The monks below were in an uproar.

"It would be strange if they didn't want to go."

"The spiritual energy in this world is as thin as water. After reaching the Void Refinement stage, there is no further progress."

"If one wishes to pursue the path to immortality, the only path for cultivators at the Void Refinement stage is the Upper Realm."

Hong Fu's eyes fell on a figure on the clouds not far away.

Li Zhiran.

"Lord of Luoyan City"

Hong Fu opened her lips.

"I have just entered the Upper Realm and am in need of an assistant."

"You are also at the Refinement stage of cultivation. Would you be willing to accompany me?"

Li Ziran cupped his hands in greeting, his aged face revealing no emotion.

"Thank you for your kind offer, senior."

"I won't go."

Hong Fu frowned slightly, but didn't force it.

Li Ziran herself felt that there was something strange about it that she couldn't quite put her finger on.

Why is this Lady Hongfu in such a hurry to leave today?

Hong Fu glanced around again, a hint of disappointment flashing across her face.

I never saw that figure in black.

"hehe."

She smiled lightly.

"That kid, he didn't make it in time..."

Just then, two voices rang out simultaneously from deep within the crowd.

"senior."

"We two are willing to accompany you, senior."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lu Yao and Xue Shazi, the two Void Refinement cultivators from the Black Mountain Continent.

Hong Fu's gaze swept over the two of them, and she let out a cold snort.

"bring it on."

Lu Yao and Xue Shazi exchanged a glance and quickly followed after them, using their escape light.

These two men were originally working for Li Changfeng.

However, after all this time, both of them knew the truth.

Although Hong Fu is a great cultivator in the Integration Realm, she is still far inferior to a Mahayana Realm expert like Li Changfeng.

Li Changfeng was the greatest opportunity for the two of them.

I've been doing this job for that old monster for so long, and I haven't seen even the slightest bit of opportunity.

Most of the time, they were treated as pawns that could be discarded at will.

In that case, we absolutely cannot miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
