64: Chapter 64 Tang San Emerges from Seclusion

In the courtyard of Chen Zhiwen's residence.

As Ye Hao's Spear Technique grew increasingly sharp, the aura around him surged like a volcanic eruption.

In a single breath, his cultivation successfully made a Breakthrough to the Middle Stage of the Qi Enlightenment Realm!

Ye Hao stopped his movements, restrained his aura, and felt a surge of excitement in his heart. He turned around, wanting to share this joy with Chen Zhiwen.

But when he turned to look at the pavilion, he noticed that Chen Zhiwen and Gu Qibai both had grave expressions, as if discussing something important. Ye Hao quietly left the courtyard, not wanting to disturb the two people in the pavilion.

In the pavilion, after listening to Gu Qibai, Chen Zhiwen looked him straight in the eye, understanding the meaning behind his words.

A Great Grandmaster is the Foundation of a faction. If the Great Xuan Imperial Family's Great Grandmaster were to pass away, other factions would certainly lose all restraint and swarm in to carve up all the resources of the Great Xuan Dynasty.

To avoid this situation, the only solution is for a new Great Grandmaster to appear and preside over the Great Xuan Dynasty after the Great Xuan Imperial Family's Great Grandmaster passes away.

After pondering for a long time, Chen Zhiwen said calmly: "Senior Gu, rest assured, that Great Grandmaster harbors no ill will toward the Great Xuan Dynasty."

"I can guarantee this. As for the situation you mentioned, if it truly happens, I believe... that Great Grandmaster will still choose to protect the Great Xuan Dynasty."

Having lived in the Great Xuan Dynasty for so many years, it would be a lie to say he had no feelings for this Imperial Dynasty.

Furthermore, Chen Zhiwen was a member of the Great Xuan Imperial Family. Even if he could not ascend to the throne in the future, he would not stand idly by and watch the Great Xuan Dynasty walk the path of destruction.

Hearing this, Gu Qibai's eyes lit up, and he stood up with a somewhat excited expression.

"Is what you say true?"

Chen Zhiwen's lips curled slightly. He nodded firmly.

Seeing this, Gu Qibai let out a long sigh of relief. "With those words from you, that is enough."

"I have a general understanding of the situation in the Great Xuan Dynasty, and it is time for me to return and report this to the Sect."

When Gu Qibai left the Sect this time, his Senior Brother had assigned him two tasks.

The first task was to resolve the war between the Great Yan Dynasty and the Great Xuan Dynasty.

The second task was to investigate the mysterious Great Grandmaster who had suddenly appeared in the Great Xuan Dynasty, in order to prevent the balance between various factions from being broken.

Although Gu Qibai had not discovered the identity of that Great Grandmaster, the Great Xuan Imperial Family's Great Grandmaster's Lifespan was nearing its end, and after Chen Zhiwen gave him this guarantee...

the situation within the Huang Prefecture would not change in the short term.

Gu Qibai's second task could be considered complete, and he could return to report back.

Gu Qibai walked up to Chen Zhiwen, patted his shoulder, and laughed heartily: "Leaving the Sect this time, I never expected to be able to befriend you, Kid Chen. It is quite an unexpected gain, Hahaha!"

"Kid Chen, although the path of the Body Cultivator has declined in the current Huang Prefecture, do not be disheartened. With your talent in the Dao of the Body Cultivator, you might just create a miracle and become the only Body Cultivator Great Grandmaster of the present day!"

Chen Zhiwen rubbed the bridge of his nose, looking at Gu Qibai, who was speaking from the heart and encouraging him, and for a moment, he did not know what to say.

Gu Qibai continued: "Do not think that I am just comforting you. To tell you the truth, within Qinghua Mountain lies the Opportunity for a Body Cultivator to Breakthrough to the Great Grandmaster Realm."

"As long as you can seize it, a Breakthrough to Great Grandmaster in the future will not be empty talk."

Chen Zhiwen was shocked upon hearing this.

There is an Opportunity for a Body Cultivator to Breakthrough to Great Grandmaster in Qinghua Mountain?!

This was the first time he had heard of this.

It seemed that the situation within Qinghua Mountain was even more complex than he had imagined.

"Alright, enough idle chatter."

"Kid Chen, let us meet again in half a month at my Zetian Sect." Gu Qibai smiled slightly, then turned and walked out of the pavilion, his figure instantly vanishing.

Chen Zhiwen looked in the direction where Gu Qibai had left, remaining silent for a long time.

One of the Ten Great Sects, the Heavenly Spirit Sect.

During these days, the atmosphere within the Heavenly Spirit Sect had been exceptionally oppressive. The Disciples of the Sect, when walking outside, were constantly subjected to mockery from others.

This was only because, among the current Heavenly Spirit Sect Disciples, only one had managed to squeeze into the hidden dragon ranking, placing in the thirties.

For the Ten Great Sects, such a result was simply too shameful to look at.

Amidst the mockery from Disciples of other factions, the Heavenly Spirit Sect Disciples could only remain silent, unable to refute.

But they all held a breath of frustration in their hearts, waiting for the strongest Disciple of the younger generation in the Sect to exit seclusion.

Once he exited seclusion, he would surely charge into the top twenty of the hidden dragon ranking, restoring the prestige of the Heavenly Spirit Sect.

On this day, in a quiet seclusion chamber of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, the stone door was suddenly shattered by a massive force.

Amidst the dust, a haughty-looking man in black robes walked out of the seclusion chamber, his entire body permeated with powerful Spiritual Qi fluctuations.

Many Heavenly Spirit Sect Disciples arrived upon hearing the commotion. When they saw the man, they all excitedly bowed and saluted, "Greetings, Senior Brother Tang!"

Tang San nodded slightly in acknowledgment, scanned the crowd, and asked indifferently: "Does any Junior Brother know where my younger brother, Tang Jie, is currently located?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the Disciples present suddenly became somewhat unnatural. They exchanged glances with each other, but no one dared to step forward and speak.

Tang San's brows furrowed tightly, as if he had sensed that the atmosphere was wrong. Just as he was about to ask in detail, a group of high-ranking members of the Heavenly Spirit Sect appeared.

When Tang San saw the Sect Master of the Heavenly Spirit Sect leading them, he immediately bowed respectfully, "Disciple pays respects to the Sect Master!"

The Heavenly Spirit Sect Revered Master, Wu Hao, looked at Tang San before him and walked up with a pleased expression to help him up.

"Hahaha! Not bad, not bad! To be able to reach the Innate Later Stage at such a young age!"

"Since the founding of my Heavenly Spirit Sect, you, Tang San, can be considered the first!"

"Come with me. The Old Ancestor instructed me that as soon as you exited seclusion, I should immediately take you to see him."

After saying this, Wu Hao pulled Tang San and headed in the direction of the Old Ancestor's residence.

On the way, Tang San could not help but ask in confusion: "Sect Master, I had originally planned to Breakthrough to the Innate Peak Stage before exiting seclusion, but only exited now after receiving news from my Revered Master. Has something happened?"

Wu Hao nodded, "Tang San, there is no more time for you to remain in seclusion. The opening of Qinghua Mountain this time has been brought forward."

Tang San's expression revealed astonishment upon hearing this, "Qinghua Mountain has been opened early?!"

Tang San had been Cultivating in seclusion precisely to participate in the competition for the quota to enter Qinghua Mountain a year later.

What he had not expected was that the Zetian Sect had actually brought forward the opening time of Qinghua Mountain.

While flying in the direction of the Old Ancestor's residence, Wu Hao told Tang San about the events that had occurred in the outside world during these days.

"Using the hidden dragon ranking to select candidates to enter Qinghua Mountain? That is somewhat interesting!" After hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Tang San's lips, and his eyes flashed with Battle Intent.

"By the way, Sect Master, why have I not seen my grandfather and younger brother after exiting seclusion? I wonder if they are currently in the Sect?" Tang San asked in confusion.

As soon as these words were spoken, Wu Hao sighed inwardly; what was bound to come had finally arrived.
