You just become my junior.

Northern Region.

Within a vast, snow-covered mountain range, there was a Sect built atop a snowy Peak.

Countless Cultivators, dressed in black Profound Qi robes, stood in formation, each practicing their Cultivation Technique.

The shouts of their practice echoed through the mountains.

There were many black-robed Cultivators, nearly ten thousand in number, yet despite so many Cultivators gathered to Cultivate together, it did not appear chaotic.

On the contrary, the practice of ten thousand people subtly formed its own sphere of influence.

In the vastness of the snowy mountains, a vague, illusory sun even condensed.

That illusory sun continuously rose and fell with the practice of the ten thousand Cultivators, shining among the mountains.

The true sun rose from the east, and another sun appeared in the open space.

For a time, a scene of two suns interacting was formed.

Legend has it that tens of millions of years ago, a Pure Yang Saint fell within the Chongxuan Snow Mountain.

After the Saint's demise, this place, having undergone tens of millions of years of refinement, formed a unique sun magnetic field.

Cultivating within it could achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Gradually, this place formed a Sect, named Chongxuan Pavilion.

Chongxuan Pavilion specialized in cultivating the Chongxuan Cultivation Technique, which was based on the sun magnetic field. With the dual enhancement of the Chongxuan Cultivation Technique and the sun magnetic field,

Chongxuan Pavilion's Disciples could achieve even faster progress in their Cultivation here.

It was precisely for this reason that for many years, Chongxuan Pavilion had never left Chongxuan Mountain.

In fact, it had never expanded outwards. The entire Sect, comprising over ten thousand members, was gathered within these few mountain Peaks.

At this moment, within these mountains, above the ten thousand people,

A figure in a dark black robe ascended into the air. He stood in the sky, proudly looking down at the ten thousand people on the Peak below him.

“With this practice, in at most three hundred more years! The strength of Chongxuan Pavilion will reach another level!”

“By then, I will be able to expand my influence out of the Northern Region!”

“It wouldn't even be impossible to contend for some territory in the Eastern Region!”

Beneath the dark black robe was a gaunt old face.

“Greetings, Pavilion Master!”

“Greetings, Pavilion Master!”

“Greetings, Pavilion Master!”

The ten thousand people all knelt and bowed, raising their hands and looking up to salute the figure in the sky.

This person was none other than the current Pavilion Master of Chongxuan Pavilion, Ai Zun, Sect Leader, at the Peak of the Returning to One Realm First Heaven.

Ai Zun, Sect Leader waved his large hand, and an endless stream of Profound Qi surged from his dark black sleeves.

In the sky, the illusory image of the sun immediately became a bit more solid.

And the ten thousand people below instantly felt an even more rapid Realm enhancement.

“Practice!”

As Ai Zun, Sect Leader's voice fell, the ten thousand people below immediately began a new round of Cultivation.

The entire mountain range was filled with a thriving, striving atmosphere.

“Junior Brother Ai! It’s been many years since we last met!”

Suddenly, a hearty and warm call full of Qi resonated from above the sky.

Ai Zun, Sect Leader looked up, and his previously relaxed expression immediately furrowed into a frown.

He saw a massive six-eared flying elephant emerge from the clouds. The flying elephant was draped in a flowing Profound Bird robe, appearing exceptionally luxurious.

A white-robed figure sat atop it, his face smiling, his two mustaches dancing in the strong wind. The equally flowing white robe also had Profound Bird patterns outlined on it.

“Phoenix Feather Sect?”

“Feng Buqun?!”

Ai Zun, Sect Leader's black robe billowed, and he immediately became as if facing a formidable enemy. In just an instant, he secretly formed hand seals, and the Chongxuan Grand Array was instantly unleashed to its maximum extent. The light of the sun beneath the snowy mountain became even brighter.

Even the more than ten thousand people below unified their breathing, and the surging Sect Profound Qi instantly became one.

“Hahahaha, Pavilion Master Ai, your Chongxuan Pavilion is truly imposing now! Your Disciples show great promise!”

In the sky, Feng Buqun spoke unhurriedly, his figure stopping at a not-too-far, not-too-close distance.

At the same time, he lightly raised a hand, and layers of clouds gradually rose beside him.

Clearly, this was to indicate that he had come alone today.

Seeing that only Feng Buqun had come, Ai Zun, Sect Leader narrowed his eyes, and with a slight bow, said, “It has indeed been a long time, but why has Sect Leader Feng come to our Chongxuan Pavilion’s territory today?”

Although his words were a bit softer, it was clear that he had not deactivated the Sect's grand array that he had just fully activated, and his expression was full of suspicion.

There was no other reason.

The Phoenix Feather Sect was the sole dominant force in the Chaotic Land, and a thousand years ago, it even attempted to unify the entire Chaotic Land.

At that time, the various Sects of the Northern Region united and formed a unified front.

Only then did they resist the Phoenix Feather Sect's annexation tactics, and this gradually led to the current situation of one dominant power and many strong ones in the Chaotic Land.

Knowing that the Northern Region was a solid block, the Phoenix Feather Sect, located in the Eastern Region, simply gave up on expanding into the Northern Region, and the situation of non-interference has continued until now.

The sudden appearance of the Phoenix Feather Sect, which had not been seen for hundreds of years, and even Sect Master Feng Buqun himself, made Ai Zun, Sect Leader nervous.

Looking at Ai Zun, Sect Leader's demeanor, Feng Buqun shook his head lightly and said, “Junior Brother Ai, you are being too formal.”

“Hundreds of years ago, we even sparred. Since I have come alone today, I am not meeting you as the Sect Master of the Phoenix Feather Sect.”

“Instead, I am here as an old friend to discuss the great development of our Chaotic Land!”

As Feng Buqun spoke, he descended from the flying elephant and, with a wave of his hand,

The flying elephant transformed into a streak of light and quickly vanished. He leisurely stepped through the air, looking directly at Ai Zun, Sect Leader.

Hearing Feng Buqun's words, a hint of doubt flashed in Ai Zun, Sect Leader's eyes.

However, the next moment, he was surprised to discover that Feng Buqun had already reached the Returning to One Realm Third Heaven!

One must know that within the Returning to One Realm, each Realm was a world unto itself.

Throughout the entire Chaotic Land, apart from those reclusive old eccentrics, among the active experts, the highest known combat power was Feng Buqun, at the Returning to One Realm Second Heaven.

Now, Feng Buqun had unexpectedly reached the Third Heaven without a sound?

Given this, could it be that Feng Buqun wanted to take advantage of his breakthrough to once again pursue the unification of the Chaotic Land, as he had in the past?

In just an instant,

Ai Zun, Sect Leader sent a message to the Elders within the Sect, instructing them to relay the news to the nearby Sects in the Northern Region Sect Alliance.

At the same time, he snorted coldly: “Sect Leader Feng, I, Ai Zun, Sect Leader, have no grand ambitions. Chongxuan Pavilion only wishes to settle down in the Chongxuan Mountain Range. As for the great development you speak of,”

“I'm afraid it has nothing to do with us!”

The entire Chongxuan Pavilion was inherently dependent on the Chongxuan Mountain Range.

Compared to the other Sects in the Northern Region, it was the least willing to be recruited by the Phoenix Feather Sect.

Feng Buqun chuckled, appearing very friendly.

“Junior Brother Ai, I see you are speaking in anger again. Our Sect grievances from all those years ago were nothing more than minor skirmishes within the Chaotic Land, weren't they?”

“To put it bluntly, the entire Chaotic Land is just a small, insignificant place within the Central Province.”

“What is the point of our mutual struggle and conflict?”

“If your Chongxuan Pavilion remains aloof from the world, what development can it have?”

“Why not, instead, work together to plan the great future development of the Chaotic Land?”

He walked closer, raised his hand, and like an Elder, patted Ai Zun, Sect Leader's shoulder.

Ai Zun, Sect Leader snorted coldly again, and at the same time, stepped back decisively, very neatly patting his own shoulder.

“Then, according to Sect Leader Feng, how can my Chongxuan Pavilion, and even the Chaotic Land, achieve great development?”

Feng Buqun chuckled, revealing his bright teeth.

“Junior Brother Ai, you just need to become my Junior Brother!”
