173: Chapter 173 Crisis and Opportunity

Several days later, Master Yuzhen visited again.

After investigating the situation of the Zhao Family, he found nothing, so he had to go to the Chen Family first and lead Chen Changqing back to the Yuxu Sect to accept the investigation.

Calling it an investigation was actually just wanting to figure out the secret on Chen Changqing.

Chen Changqing was naturally willing; as long as the dao bead treasure was not detected, there wouldn't be much of a problem.

The two set off immediately, and Chen Yuanwen watched, silently praying for Chen Changqing.

With this trip Chen Changqing was taking, if he had good luck the entire Family would be fine, but if he had bad luck the entire Family would have to be buried with him.

...

Half a month later, Chen Changqing followed Master Yuzhen to the Yuxu Sect.

The two marched quickly, bypassing all mountain-guarding Disciples, and then proceeded unimpeded all the way to Yuxu Mountain.

At the top of the mountain, a magnificent and ornately carved grand hall appeared in Chen Changqing's eyes.

The aura surging from within the hall terrified people, and even Chen Changqing felt somewhat uneasy at this moment.

After the two entered, besides the White-haired Elder in the primary seat, there was no one else inside.

Chen Changqing guessed at a glance that this person was the Yuxu Sect Master, an Immortal Master with Golden Core Stage cultivation.

As for how far he had walked within the Golden Core Stage, that was not something Chen Changqing could conjecture.

"Revered Master, this Disciple has brought the person back." Master Yuzhen respectfully bowed and saluted, not as condescending as he was previously facing the Chen Family.

"Greetings, Senior." Chen Changqing also respectfully bowed and saluted.

"Mn, you are Chen Changqing, and that Purple Palace Cultivator is the one you killed?" Master Yuyuan stroked his beard with one hand, looking at Chen Changqing with shrewd eyes.

"Replying to Senior, that is indeed the case. This one does not dare boast about strength, but that Zhao Tiangang was indeed killed by this Junior. Senior Yuzhen has already gone to the Wanshou Mountain Range to verify this matter. If this Junior has lied even once, Senior may personally execute this Junior." Chen Changqing nodded and said.

"Mn? Display your power. This old man is quite curious as to why you possess such strength. Yuzhen, you shall test his skills." Master Yuyuan looked at Chen Changqing with a curious face, then turned his head to let Master Yuzhen make a move.

"Understood, Revered Master. Make your move! Let me see." Master Yuzhen said respectfully, only then allowing Chen Changqing to make a move.

"Senior, pardon the offense." Chen Changqing nodded.

With a single point of his finger, two hundred strands of Azure Thunder instantly erupted.

The thunderous sound formed by the two hundred strands of Azure Thunder resounded through the entire grand hall.

Master Yuzhen glanced at it, a golden giant hand appeared, instantly crushing the two hundred strands of Azure Thunder.

Seeing this, Chen Changqing pointed again, and three hundred strands of Azure Thunder leaped at his fingertips, instantly leaving his fingers and departing.

At the same time, he cast the Jingshen Spike.

When facing the three hundred strands of Azure Thunder, Master Yuzhen suddenly revealed a painful expression, and when he recovered his senses, the three hundred strands of Azure Thunder had already arrived before his eyes.

He hurriedly retreated, and the golden giant palm enveloped him within.

"Boom!"

The three hundred strands of Azure Thunder blasted onto the golden giant palm; not to mention breaking through the defense, it could not even stir up a trace of ripples.

Chen Changqing's expression was solemn. As expected, a Purple Palace Cultivator at the seventh layer of the Purple Mansion was far too much harder to deal with than Zhao Tiangang back then.

Even though the opponent wasn't using any Magical Artifacts right now.

He patted his Storage Pouch, and thirty meta-magnetic flying swords appeared, instantly forming a meta-magnetic sword array around Master Yuzhen.

A gravity talisman suppressed Master Yuzhen to the ground, rendering him unable to move.

Chen Changqing pointed out with his finger once more, and three hundred strands of Azure Thunder erupted, directly blasting towards Master Yuzhen. Meanwhile, he himself cast the wind and cloud wings, bypassing behind the opponent, punching out with a great force of two million catties unleashing at this moment.

Seeing this, Master Yuzhen only enlarged the defense range of the golden giant palm.

Several attacks descended, all striking Master Yuzhen.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

"Bang!"

Chen Changqing felt that his fist hit a hard block of iron; not only did it remain completely motionless, but even he was shaken back several zhang.

After all the attacks dissipated, Master Yuzhen still stood in his original place, not moving even a single step.

Just as Chen Changqing wanted to continue attacking, Master Yuyuan directly called a halt.

"Little Friend Chen, there is no need to attack anymore. This old man believes you can deal with a Purple Palace Cultivator, but I do have a question. It seems you Cultivate the Evergreen Art, right?" Master Yuyuan asked, his tone very benevolent, yet Chen Changqing did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

He explained directly: "That is indeed the case, Senior. What this Junior Cultivates is indeed the Evergreen Art."

"This Cultivation Technique is not good for dealing with enemies. This old man is well-traveled and knowledgeable, and at most, I have only seen Cultivators able to condense seventy-two strands of Azure Thunder during the Foundation Establishment Stage. I am quite curious to know how you managed to condense so many strands of Azure Thunder. Those three hundred strands of Azure Thunder just now had already reached the destructive power of the first layer of the Purple Mansion." Master Yuyuan raised his doubt.

Although he had cultivated the Dao for seven hundred years, he had never seen a Cultivator Cultivate the Evergreen Art to this extent.

The Evergreen Art as a Cultivation Technique was not difficult to Cultivate, and its progress was stable. In the Immortal Realm, it couldn't be said to be a common technique, but it wasn't very rare either. It was just that almost only Cultivators with low talent who were unwilling to give up would Cultivate this kind of technique.

But the young man before him looked nothing like someone without talent.

"Replying to Senior, this Junior once fortuitously obtained a Body Cultivator Cultivation Technique named the Cangtian Transforming Dragon Art. This Cultivation Technique is not easy to Cultivate, but if it can be supplemented with Yao Beast essence blood, cultivation will achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"At the same time, this Junior also discovered that the number of Azure Thunder strands condensed in the body by the Evergreen Art is related to one's Physique, while the power of the Azure Thunder is purely related to one's own magical power."

Chen Changqing said respectfully. He did not lie about any of this; it was all the truth.

Master Yuyuan and Master Yuzhen exchanged a glance, as if confirming something.

"I see." After a long while, Master Yuyuan nodded.

He had never paid attention to such matters before. If the news provided by Chen Changqing was true, perhaps members of his own Sect could also choose such a method to practice and Cultivate together.

Knowing the other party's thoughts, Chen Changqing immediately made a rubbed copy of the Cangtian Transforming Dragon Art Cultivation Technique and handed it over.

After taking it, Master Yuzhen only glanced at it roughly before confirming that what Chen Changqing said was true.

The Cangtian Transforming Dragon Art paired with the Evergreen Art?

Perhaps it really could be used to Cultivate Sect members and enhance the overall cultivation quality of the Sect.

Since that is the case...

"Little Friend Chen, are you willing to take this old man as your Revered Master?" Master Yuyuan spoke.

Chen Changqing was stunned. He did not expect Master Yuyuan to actually make such a request.

Seeing Chen Changqing furrowing his brows tightly, he also understood Chen Changqing's thoughts.

"I know you cannot part with your Family relations, and this old man will not force you. By entering under this old man's Sect, starting from today you will be this old man's Named Disciple, but you will never be a True Disciple."

"Senior, this Junior is willing." Chen Changqing nodded and hurriedly performed the Revered Master-respecting bow. He was not stupid; if Master Yuyuan had already spoken to this extent and he still didn't take him as his Revered Master, wouldn't that be foolish?

"Since that is the case, from now on you are this old man's Named Disciple. Mn, although this old man cannot impart some of the Sect's Cultivation Techniques to you, I can still bestow upon you one or two life-saving items." After Master Yuyuan finished speaking, a Storage Pouch floated out and came directly in front of Chen Changqing.

"Many thanks for Revered Master's bestowal, this Disciple will definitely not fail Revered Master's teachings." After taking the Storage Pouch, Chen Changqing said respectfully.

"Mn, you two may withdraw!" Master Yuyuan nodded.
