52: Chapter 52: Han Li's Strange Invitation

"Could it be that Junior Brother is worried the scouts previously sent to the Tianluo Kingdom have encountered trouble? So the messages we've received during this period are all fabricated?"

After hearing Zhao Changsheng's suggestion, the Sect Head pondered for a moment before posing a counter-question.

Because the implication in Zhao Changsheng's words was precisely that; he practically spelled it out.

"This Junior Brother indeed thinks so, which is why I suggest Senior Brother send people there again, preferably with a Core Formation Stage Cultivator overseeing the mission. It would be best if a Grand Elder personally went."

This final addition from Zhao Changsheng left the Sect Head utterly dumbfounded just from hearing it.

Chasing Taiwan web novels is super reliable with the Divine Artifact.

Sending a Grand Elder personally to the Tianluo Kingdom... if he weren't reasonably sure no Sect would send a Disciple with a Heavenly Spiritual Root to act as a spy or traitor, he would suspect the Zhao Changsheng before him was a spy sent by the Demonic Path of the Tianluo Kingdom.

"Ahem! Senior Brother, please forgive me. This Junior Brother misspoke, I said the wrong thing."

Seeing the Sect Head's expression, Zhao Changsheng immediately realized he had clearly said something inappropriate, though his intention was to emphasize the severity of the situation.

No matter what, Yellow Maple Valley had treated him quite well, and he also wanted to help Yellow Maple Valley minimize its losses as much as possible.

"Alright. Since you've put it that way, I will report this matter to a few Core Formation Stage Junior Martial Uncles and see who among them has time to go to the Tianluo Kingdom to investigate the situation."

After hearing Zhao Changsheng's words, the Sect Head also understood the matter might truly be somewhat serious and nodded, agreeing to it.

"In that case, does this Junior Brother not need to go to Spirit Beast Mountain to help them resolve that Spirit Beast problem?"

Seeing the Sect Head agree, Zhao Changsheng seized the Opportunity to bring up the main issue.

After all, he didn't want to go to his death.

Spirit Beast Mountain definitely had ulterior motives; Zhao Changsheng was certain of that, absolutely harboring ill intentions.

So, if he were to rashly go there, it would be no different from walking to his doom.

"Fine. Since you're unwilling to go, then don't go." Seeing that Zhao Changsheng had laid out the words and the situation to this extent, the Sect Head could only sigh and reluctantly agree.

"Thank you, Senior Brother. If there's nothing else, this Junior Brother will take his leave first."

Seeing this, Zhao Changsheng immediately chose to bid farewell. It was best not to get involved in matters of leaving.

Focusing on time to Cultivate, focusing on time for a Breakthrough—these were the most important things. Other matters didn't require his attention.

"Alright, then Junior Brother, you return and Cultivate first."

At this point, the Sect Head could no longer continue to force the issue.

"Then this Junior Brother bids farewell."

With that, Zhao Changsheng directly left... After returning to his Immortal Cave, as soon as Zhao Changsheng lay down on the chair in his main hall, Xin Ruyin considerately handed him a poured cup of spirit tea.

"Senior, please have some tea."

Seeing this, Zhao Changsheng naturally took the teacup, took a sip, and placed it beside him.

Afterwards, Xin Ruyin walked behind him again, placing her small hands on his shoulders to give him a massage.

In response, Zhao Changsheng slowly closed his eyes, beginning to rest with his eyes closed and contemplate his next steps.

Currently, the Teleportation Array was still far from repaired, so the Chaotic Star Sea was temporarily out of the question.

However, the Immortal Ascension Assembly had already begun, which meant the plot had officially entered the Cultivation stage.

In other words, the righteous and Demonic Paths should have already begun to act.

Would his act of prompting the Sect Head to send people to the Tianluo Kingdom to gather information in advance attract the attention of the Demonic Path?

Now, Zhao Changsheng even felt some regret. But if he hadn't said this, he feared the Sect Head would still have found a way to send him to Spirit Beast Mountain to help them resolve their Spirit Beast problem.

Although he knew Spirit Beast Mountain's invitation was absolutely a trap, he had no evidence whatsoever.

Moreover, while there were disputes among the Seven Sects, their relationship was ultimately still quite good.

Especially since about half of the other Sects' Spirit Beasts came from Spirit Beast Mountain.

Therefore, within the Seven Sects, Spirit Beast Mountain's strength was second only to the top-ranked Yanyue Sect, and it was also quite popular among the Seven Sects.

If Disciples from the other Sects wanted suitable Spirit Beasts, as long as they paid a sufficient price, Spirit Beast Mountain would generally sell them.

This also increased the favorability many Disciples from the other Sects felt towards Spirit Beast Mountain.

Under these circumstances, trying to falsely accuse Spirit Beast Mountain was purely a joke.

This was also a headache for Zhao Changsheng, but even with the headache, there was nothing he could do.

Because he didn't want to take any more risks. Under these circumstances, it was better to wait and see.

Anyway, he had already said and reminded them of what needed to be said and reminded.

As for whether Yellow Maple Valley could go to the Tianluo Kingdom and gather useful information, that would depend on Yellow Maple Valley's luck.

Anyway, he had done all he could. He couldn't do more, nor was it something someone of his Realm could manage.

After thinking through these things, Zhao Changsheng's mood improved considerably, and he was no longer so tense and worried.

Anyway, now he only needed to resolve the Teleportation Array matter, then he could pat his butt and leave, making a clean getaway.

At that time, even if the entire Tiannan Cultivation World fell into chaos, fought fiercely, and was plunged into misery and suffering, it would have absolutely nothing to do with him.

He only needed to stay Honestly in the Chaotic Star Sea, find a suitable island at random, then Cultivate and Condense a Golden Core as quickly as possible to become a Core Formation Stage Cultivator. That would suffice.

In the Cultivation World, as long as one could reach the Core Formation Stage, they would be considered a high-level Cultivator and possess a certain degree of self-preservation ability.

Although in the eyes of Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, they would still be no different from ants, in the eyes of most Cultivators, they would already be figures at the Old Ancestor level, with lifespans that could reach five to six hundred years.

And with Zhao Changsheng's Cultivation speed and Aptitude, plus the help of the Golden Finger System and Han Li, the medicine boy, it would take at most around a hundred years before he could attempt to Condense a Nascent Soul.

After all, while others didn't know where the Opportunities to increase the chances of Condensing a Nascent Soul were, Zhao Changsheng knew perfectly well: one was the nine-bend spirit ginseng from the Void Heaven Palace, and the other was the spirit stabilizing pill from the Falling Cloud Sect.

As long as he obtained these two things, the probability of him Condensing a Nascent Soul in the future could increase by at least thirty to forty percent.

What does that mean?

It means that in the future, he would have at least a seventy to eighty percent chance of successfully Condensing a Nascent Soul.

Thinking of this, Zhao Changsheng prepared to go into seclusion to Cultivate and no longer concern himself with other matters, but someone arrived!

The visitor was none other than Han Li, who should have been staying at the Hundred Herbs Garden managing the herb garden.

After having Xin Ruyin pour a cup of tea for Han Li, Zhao Changsheng finally asked Han Li the purpose of his visit.

"Junior Brother Han, you came to my Immortal Cave in such a hurry. Is there something you wish to discuss with me?"

"I want to go see the Immortal Ascension Assembly. Senior Brother, can you help?"

Han Li's request immediately left Zhao Changsheng feeling stunned and bewildered.

He didn't understand why Han Li wanted to go to the Immortal Ascension Assembly?
