Our eldest brother never hides good things from us.

"My fellow disciples, I have spent most of my time on Haoran Peak and know very little about the world. Furthermore, abandoned planets are not public spaces; no one knows what's inside, and there are too many uncertainties. So please forgive me for not being able to make any guarantees."

Chang Wen did not make any guarantees.

"Haha, good character."

Upon hearing this, the peak masters' eyes showed even greater delight.

I'm not afraid of Chang Wen being humble, I'm afraid of Chang Wen not being humble.

A few days ago, Chang Wen transformed from an unknown disciple into an idol of the Haoran Immortal Sect. Will he become arrogant and lose all restraint? Or will he quietly cultivate and conceal his talents?

This was very important to them, the old guys.

Because they were young once too, they know what kind of person can go further. A person who becomes bound by fame and fortune after gaining fame, no matter how outstanding their talent, is mediocre in their eyes.

Chang Wen is just right—low-key, reserved, and with a calm mind. Only in this way can he bear more glory.

Chang Wen smiled but didn't say anything.

"Nephew, the reason I've called you here is to talk to you about this abandoned planet."

Lin Baoding and the others became more serious and began to discuss the main topic.

Before Chang Wen could ask, he looked up at the shattered sky and said, "As you can see, this is where the abandoned planet is located."

Chang Wen followed his gaze and was horrified. It felt like looking at the starry sky from the Earth's outer surface.

The only difference is that the things inside... are all being carried by the spatial gales and moving rapidly, including meteorites and other unknown objects.

"Hehehe, how about it, nephew? Are you satisfied with my results?"

Just then, Ouyang Feng came to Chang Wen's side with a smug grin.

They'd been waiting for Chang Wen for ages, just hoping he'd come and take credit. Now that their wish had finally come true, they were in high spirits.

"Uncle-Master, you're amazing."

Chang Wen expressed his true opinion. It directly shattered the heavens and plunged the entire Taixu Sword Sect into dire straits; it was truly satisfying to watch.

"Yes, yes! Of course, of course."

Ouyang Feng waved his hand modestly, but he couldn't hide the smugness in his eyes.

"That's right. If our sect's disciples are bullied, and we old folks don't step in to help, how can our Haoran Immortal Sect maintain its standing in the Northern Wilderness?"

The Fist Peak Master, who was standing nearby, also rushed over, exuding an imposing aura.

Chang Wen clasped his hands in thanks again before taking a look around the space.

Deep within the shattered heavens lies an enormous, earth-colored planet. According to Chang Wen's estimation, this planet is ten times, or even dozens of times, larger than Saturn, a truly astonishing sight.

"This must be that abandoned planet, right?"

Chang Wen asked.

"good."

Lin Baoding answered him, "After discovering this planet, you and your Uncle Ouyang, along with the higher-ups of the Taixu Sword Sect, noticed its anomaly and took action to stabilize it in place. Only then did we learn that... the abandoned planet was related to our sect's founder, Daofeng."

"Upon learning this information, they ceased hostilities and prepared to travel to the planet to investigate. However, the planet's laws had already shattered, making it impossible for Mahayana cultivators to enter."

"If they force their way in, it will inevitably cause the planet to collapse, leading to its automatic explosion, which would be a losing proposition."

"After their investigation, they found that this planet is only suitable for cultivators at or below the Integration Realm, which is why we brought you here."

At this point, Lin Baoding looked at Chang Wen, "Especially you and Chu Xinghe, you two are exceptionally talented. If you could really obtain the Dao Ancestor's inheritance, your rise in the future would be incredibly fast. It's a pity that Xinghe didn't come."

"And these two little ones next to you, come in with them this time too. I'll leave a restriction on them, so nothing less than a Mahayana Realm cultivator can harm them. Just be careful inside."

He was naturally referring to Lin Yuan and Su Xiaoman.

Although the two were a burden, they were protected by his restrictions. In addition, Chang Wen was watching over them, so nothing bad would happen to them.

After saying that, he tapped the foreheads of Lin Yuan and Su Xiaoman one after the other, setting up a protective barrier.

The two children were very innocent and immediately gave Lin Baoding friendly looks, clearly regarding him as one of their own.

"Uncle-Master, what about me?"

Chang Wen looked at Lin Baoding, his meaning self-evident.

"Hehe, you're an adult now. You need to learn to be responsible for yourself. You can't be a hothouse flower. Go and experience some trials."

Lin Baoding had long since noticed that Chang Wen was under the restriction of both Biyou Fairy and Xue Wuqing, and did not intend to make a move.

Chang Wen...

If it weren't for my senior uncle, wouldn't this be discriminatory treatment? If I were to actually fall into the abyss, wouldn't that be a huge loss for the Vast Immortal Sect?

Unfortunately, the other peak masters strongly agreed with Lin Baoding's approach and encouraged Chang Wen to learn to stand on his own.

Chang Wen...

Just as he was feeling resentful, Lin Baoding and the others spoke up again.

"Nephew, don't blame us for being heartless. Which of us old guys standing here didn't get through thick and thin?"

"Only those seedlings that have weathered storms can grow into towering trees that protect the sect in the future."

Lin Baoding patted Chang Wen on the shoulder, offering words of comfort, which drew agreement from all the peak masters.

Chang Wen...

All he wants is to live a good life! With the investment system, he will surely be invincible in the future, provided he cherishes his life and lives well!

Luckily, he was quick-witted and had hired ten thugs in advance; otherwise, his safety would have been in jeopardy. Thinking of this, he calmed down again.

"By the way, Junior Nephew Chang Wen, why are you with Jiu Xiao?"

Ouyang Feng changed the subject, "I heard that a while ago you hired Jiuxiao to participate in the Snow Lotus Peak competition, is that true?"

"Um."

Chang Wen had anticipated that a peak master would ask this question, so he immediately gave the prepared answer, "That Holy Son of Snow Lotus Peak insulted me. I didn't want to fight him, so I asked Junior Brother Jiuxiao to take care of it for me."

Jian Jiuxiao was somewhat nervous when this was mentioned.

After all, it's unprecedented for a sect to hire thugs, and it might cause dissatisfaction among the peak masters.

To everyone's surprise, Ouyang Feng not only showed no dissatisfaction, but also nodded and said, "Well, since you're hiring thugs, the price needs to be increased to prevent the disciples from following suit and causing chaos in the Haoran Immortal Sect. Also, I have a question: where does the money for hiring these people come from?"

"I lent it to him!"

Before Chang Wen could reply, Han Yaodong spoke up from the side, a smug look on his face, "Actually, I've long seen that Junior Nephew Chang Wen has extraordinary talent, which is why I'm drawn to him. It seems like a loan, but in reality it's..."

"Alright, alright, stop spouting nonsense!"

The peak masters quickly intervened and interrupted the spellcasting.

The ten henchmen, including Jian Jiuxiao, were stunned. Was this the treatment given to the sect's darling?

How could someone be allowed to assault someone while borrowing money? Looks like they need to cling to Chang Wen's coattails.

Chang Wen, unaware of their thoughts, began to survey his surroundings.

Not only the Haoran Immortal Sect is here, but also the Taixu Sword Sect and the Wanxiang Palace, and there are quite a few people here as well.

At the location of the Taixu Sword Sect, Chang Wen saw three familiar figures: Taiyi, Nangong Chi, and Dugu Wentian.
