923: In two more days, we will go to Taihuang.

Hongru Academy.

Xie Weilou once again transformed into the face of Mr. Shu.

"After this seclusion, you've made further progress, haven't you, kid?"

The Confucian Sage looked at Xie Weilou; at this moment, Xie Weilou's body was imbued with rich Dao charm, clearly indicating a significant Breakthrough.

It's a pity this kid has some Heaven-Defying treasure hidden on him; even he finds it hard to discern the true extent of his cultivation.

Xie Weilou smiled and said, "My luck was pretty good; I fortunately advanced to Gui Xu."

"Gui Xu?"

The Confucian Sage's expression was indescribably strange upon hearing this.

Xie Weilou sighed, "You old man don't have to look at me like that! I'm a lone wolf, I have no resources, and my Cultivation relies entirely on my own exploration. How high a Realm could I possibly reach?"

The Confucian Sage chuckled, "You almost had this old man believing you! Your background is mysterious, and you even have ties to the Reincarnation Sect. You say you're a lone wolf; who would believe that?"

"If you don't believe me, then so be it."

Xie Weilou shrugged.

He added, "I have some matters to attend to; in three days, I will leave Donghuang City and head to the Great Desolation."

The Confucian Sage said, "The Great Desolation? The Great Sages Tomb of the Eastern Wilderness is located in the Barren Domain, and the Great Desolation is adjacent to the Barren Domain. If you're going there for business, it won't delay the matters of the Great Sage's Tomb."

Xie Weilou smiled and said, "So, I'd like to ask Senior for two sacred tomb tokens in advance."

The Confucian Sage asked, "Is it for that Little Girl from the Lin family?"

He had already sensed Lin Qinghuang entering Donghuang City; she was a true Prodigy, destined to make countless women pale in comparison.

"..."

Xie Weilou nodded.

The Confucian Sage gently waved his hand, and two crimson tokens flew towards Xie Weilou. He smiled and said, "That Little Girl is truly extraordinary. She can wield three supreme emperor artifacts alone and even unleash supreme emperor might. She is the only one in all eternity with the potential to prove the Dao. You must seize this Opportunity well, kid!"

It is said that the Dao is endless, and one should not speak of romantic affections.

However, on this path, if you don't even have someone to protect, someone to accompany you, then you will surely be incredibly lonely.

Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang, these two young people, are both extremely extraordinary, and their futures are boundless.

If they were to walk together, to the furthest reaches of the Dao, it would surely become a timeless tale.

"Cough, cough!"

Xie Weilou lightly coughed and put away the sacred tomb tokens.

The Confucian Sage waved his hand and said, "Forget it! Young people's matters should be resolved by young people. We old folks, with not much Lifespan left, still need to consider how to extend our Lifespan."

"..."

Xie Weilou bowed and walked towards a pavilion.

Inside the pavilion.

"Big Brother Xie."

Xie Buxian was Cultivating; upon seeing Xie Weilou, he stopped.

Xie Weilou said, "Buxian, I have to go out for some matters in three days. During this time, you should continue to Cultivate by the Confucian Sage's side."

"Okay, Big Brother Xie."

Xie Buxian nodded gently.

Xie Weilou took out a bottle of Medicinal Pills and handed it to Xie Buxian, saying, "When you attempt to Break through to the Shackles Realm, you can take one Medicinal Pill."

Xie Buxian had embarked on the path of Cultivation and was already at the Peak of the Xuanhuang Realm.

During this time, he had been suppressing his cultivation and building his foundation while Cultivating with the Confucian Sage. Now, there were signs of a Breakthrough, so it seemed he could advance further.

"Good."

Xie Buxian took the Medicinal Pill, his eyes showing determination.

Saying thank you now was useless; only by continuously Cultivating and living up to Big Brother Xie's expectations was the most important thing.

"You continue to Cultivate."

Xie Weilou smiled faintly and walked out of the pavilion.

——————

The next day.

Inside a restaurant.

Xie Weilou handed a sacred tomb token to Lin Qinghuang: "This is a sacred tomb token."

"..."

Lin Qinghuang took the sacred tomb token and observed it; within it, a mysterious Dao Principles power was contained.

Xie Weilou said, "In two more days, I will go to the Great Desolation."

Lin Qinghuang said, "I'll go with you!"

After all, Elder Gu was a member of the Heavenly Hall, and there might be many other Heavenly Hall experts nearby. Her going along would naturally be safer.

"Alright."

Xie Weilou smiled faintly.

"Haven't you heard? The situation of yesterday's battle at Zhongzhou Academy has already spread."

"It seems the Zhou Tian Holy Son faced the First Prince Ye Lingxu, the Imperial Daughter of the Di Clan faced the Princess Ye Tianjiao, and Qin Chanyue of the Longevity Holy Land faced the Second Princess Ye Linghuang. The three battles seemingly ended without a clear victor."

"They are all Prodigies from major forces; unless it's a life-and-death struggle, it would certainly be difficult to determine a true winner."

Some Cultivators nearby were discussing the situation of yesterday's battle at Zhongzhou Academy.

Lin Qinghuang said, "That Princess of the Eastern Wasteland Dynasty is indeed not simple. She is the only one among the younger generation of the imperial family who can Cultivate the Human Emperor Scripture."

The Human Emperor Scripture is an eternal Emperor Scripture created by the Human Emperor Great Emperor, sweeping across heaven and earth, suppressing all laws, and incredibly powerful.

Cultivating this scripture is extremely difficult and requires Opportunity.

Ye Tianjiao is the only one among the younger generation capable of Cultivating the Human Emperor Scripture.

If one were to ask who is the number one among the younger generation of the Eastern Wasteland Dynasty, it would undoubtedly be Ye Tianjiao.

Xie Weilou said, "I've been in Donghuang City for some time, but unfortunately, I haven't met Ye Tianjiao."

"There will be plenty of opportunities later."

Lin Qinghuang smiled faintly.

"It is said that Zhongzhou Academy was robbed last night."

At this moment, someone spoke with a strange expression.

"What? Robbed? Who would dare to steal from Zhongzhou Academy?"

The Cultivators nearby were also full of curiosity upon hearing this.

That person shook his head and said, "No one knows who the thief is, but it's said that the culprit stole Zhongzhou Academy's demon god stone... Now, Zhongzhou Academy is fully searching for the thief's whereabouts, even sending out several old fossils."

"As far as I know, the demon god stone is one of Zhongzhou Academy's most precious treasures, guarded by powerful beings. To be able to steal the demon god stone right under the nose of a powerful being, that thief must be extremely extraordinary."

Someone said with a solemn tone.

Prince Qings Estate had just been robbed, and unexpectedly, not long after, Zhongzhou Academy was also robbed.

Moreover, the stolen item was the demon god stone, one of its most precious treasures, which was no small matter.

"..."

Xie Weilou's expression also became somewhat strange upon hearing these Cultivators' discussions. Which thief was so bold as to actually steal from Zhongzhou Academy?

Could it be that old Daoist priest?

That old Daoist priest was incredibly bold and unfathomably strong; he certainly possessed that capability!

"Boss, a pot of wine and a roasted chicken."

Just then, a white-robed old Daoist priest swaggered into the restaurant.

"Daoist Priest!"

When Xie Weilou saw the old Daoist priest, a flicker of surprise appeared in his eyes; this old Daoist priest was naturally Wang the Celestial Being.

Wang the Celestial Being's gaze fell on Xie Weilou, sizing him up and down, and he asked in surprise, "Do I know you, old Daoist?"

Xie Weilou was currently using his original face, which the old Daoist priest had not seen before.

Xie Weilou smiled and said, "Daoist Priest, you gave me a piece of bronze before. Don't you recognize me now?"

Upon hearing this, Wang the Celestial Being instantly reacted. He quickly walked towards Xie Weilou, looked him up and down, and couldn't help but exclaim in wonder, "What kind of transformation technique did you use, kid? Even this old Daoist can't see through it."
