Chapter 460: Tushan's Handwritten Letter

Tushan.

On the field ridge, Bai Wanqing wore a worried expression, gazing at her daughter Jiao Jiao in the distance, and could not help but sigh.

"It's been over two years, and Jiao Jiao still hasn't come out."

Bai Wanqing felt somewhat guilty, "Could it be that I was wrong, that I shouldn't have said those things to Jiao Jiao back then, and certainly shouldn't have taken her away from Lin Chuan's side."

"It can't really be a lingering resentment, can it?"

If that were the case, she could only go to Jin Tian Zhou and summon the Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion.

Nothing is more important than the daughter's happiness.

Bai Wanqing was under great pressure.

In the past, she would urge her daughter to meet more young talents from various lines of the Demon Tribe, or to interact more with the talented youths of their own clan, or even to visit Qingqiu.

Now she no longer mentions those people.

Especially after meeting Lin Chuan, looking at those so‑called outstanding youths of various races, she truly cannot compare them with the Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion.

If her daughter could become close with the Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion, she would not stand in the way.

It's just that she doesn't know whether her own daughter can get past that mental hurdle, after all, there is more than one beauty by Lin Chuan's side; Jiao Jiao is young and proud, full of vigor,

and she fears it will be hard to accept.

"The time left for us is not much."

Bai Wanqing looked up at the Horizon.

A few days ago, the situation at the Black Mist battlefield deteriorated again, and a breach appeared in the area guarded by Tushan.

Her husband Tushan Lansong rushed urgently to the Black Mist battlefield to provide aid.

"Husband, do you also not know when you can return?"

Bai Wanqing sensed that chaotic times were approaching; perhaps soon, she too would have to go to the battlefield.

At that time, she would be unable to care for her daughter.

Naturally, she hoped her daughter's other half would be worthy of entrusting.

Just as she was pondering, a figure walked up the mountain.

"Sister, this year's Demon Tribe genius competition has been set, to be held at Tushan."

Throughout the living realm, the methods of selecting geniuses are especially varied.

The most renowned is the Three Thousand Prefectures Genius Competition, encompassing Mortal Dust and Star Realm, open to all races, regardless of origin or background.

Making the top nine grants the hope of obtaining the Ascension Immortal inheritance, the arena most talents yearn for.

Next are the internal contests of each faction.

For example, the Spirit Clan and Dragon Clan hold the True Dragon Conference, Daoism's Dao Seed selection, Buddhism's Fozhi baptism, and the Demon Tribe competition is also among them.

Although the Nine‑Tailed Fox Clan is a great clan, it holds the name of a superpower.

But compared with the entire Human Race, it is still too weak.

The Demon Tribe was founded by other races as a response to opposing Human Race oppression at critical moments, and the Demon Tribe genius competition was born under those circumstances.

"I understand."

She was not very interested in the squabbles among the younger generation.

This time, however, she had concerns.

Jiao Jiao's condition is too poor; she worries an accident might occur.

Thinking of this, Bai Wanqing wrote a letter and gave it to a trustworthy steward of the clan, "Please deliver this letter to the Myriad Symbol Pavilion in Jin Tian Zhou."

She invited Lin Chuan to come into the mountain.

Under the pretext of the competition, she hoped the two could reconcile.

Jiao Jiao is now caught in self‑conflict, likely having fallen into a misstep, unable to make the right decision in her heart,

but as long as Lin Chuan appears, this problem can be easily resolved.

……

Cloud Kingdom.

Lin Chuan's cultivation seemed leisurely.

In reality, he was tangled up in a dream cultivation space.

Xiao Qingmei seemed to have a strong sense of crisis; after receiving the authority of the newly appointed Prime Minister Wei Tianshu, she threw herself into state affairs,

After the Grand Princess ascended the throne, she granted Yun Zhi Yi much greater authority, surpassing previous levels.

Yun Zhi Yi's impact on National Fortune was becoming increasingly prominent.

Lin Chuan could clearly feel that the auspicious qi protection surrounding Xiao Qingmei was growing ever stronger.

It was only now that Xiao Qingmei seemed to be on the right track.

In the Ancient God Absolute Realm dream reincarnation, Yun Baobao is the First Auspicious Cloud in the world, an embodiment of qi luck.

Whether in combat power or influence, she ranks at the forefront.

Grasping a small portion of Cloud Kingdom's qi luck is naturally a piece of cake.

In the first ancient era, if not for the Black Mist battlefield's impact, Cloud Kingdom might have risen to its zenith and perhaps sat on equal footing with the Three Teachings.

Becoming the undisputed first dynasty throughout history.

Even without reaching that point, it preserved Cloud Kingdom's foundation to remain firmly among the superpowers.

"It's getting better as well."

Lin Chuan felt content; Xiao Qingmei, busy with political achievements, no longer had much thought to torment him.

He also entered a wonderful period.

Unfortunately, this period was not long.

With a letter from Tushan arriving, it was broken again.

"Hmm?"

Lin Chuan had thought it was Jiao Jiao who wrote it, but it turned out to be Bai Wanqing's own handwriting, "Let me go to observe the Demon Tribe's young generation talent competition?"

The deeper meaning, Lin Chuan understood instantly.

Isn't this simply to have him meet Jiao Jiao and confirm their standing?

Lin Chuan had originally prepared for the day when he would storm Tushan and forcibly take Jiao Jiao away, but unexpectedly he was the one actively invited up the mountain.

"Let's calculate the time; it's been over three years."

Lin Chuan sighed lightly, "It's time to leave Cloud Kingdom and continue my plan."

He could not stay here forever accompanying Yun Zhi Yi, nor could he revolve endlessly around a single romantic bond.

After explaining the reason to Little Childhood Sweetheart, Lin Chuan left.

Yun Zhi Yi, though reluctant, understood Lin Chuan, knowing that a formidable foe called the Yang Demon was lurking in the shadows and must be eliminated.

Moreover, Myriad Symbol Pavilion is the foundation of A Chuan's forging of the Sword of All Beings, and cannot be abandoned.

Now is not the time for the two to stay together.

Both have their own affairs to attend to.

Even if reluctant, they must consider the longer‑term future.

Lin Chuan left Cloud Kingdom.

His heart was melancholy, occasionally haunted by a guilt of "I really should die."

Little Childhood Sweetheart was too gentle, too tolerant.

A few days later, Lin Chuan arrived at Jin Tian Zhou.

With some time still left before the Demon Tribe's grand competition began, he did not go immediately but returned to Myriad Symbol Pavilion.

There was also a Monkey here.

"Shifu!"

The Monkey, upon seeing Lin Chuan, was overjoyed, scratching its ears and cheeks, leaping up and down, "Shifu, you finally returned."

"In a few days, I'll take you to a place."

Lin Chuan recalled, the Monkey also counts as part of the Demon Tribe's younger generation, right?

Given the Monkey's strength, it could probably sweep through the younger generation.

The inheriting will of the Five‑Colored Stone is terrifying; it grants the Monkey, from birth, power close to the Void God Realm, allowing it to wield some techniques, making it of a great‑ability level.

Doesn't the Yang Demon want to eradicate the Battle Holy Ape clan entirely?

He insists on appearing with the Monkey.

Instead, let's see whether that Yang Demon dares to show up and confront him face‑to‑face.

"Shifu, where are we going? What are we going to do?" the Monkey asked eagerly.

"Going to Tushan, to fight," Lin Chuan said with a smile.

"Fight?"

The Monkey's eyes lit up; at the mention of fighting his hands itched, having guarded Myriad Symbol Pavilion for years with no one to spar with,

it almost drove him mad.

The Battle Holy Ape lineage was born for combat.

"First, I will handle the matters of Myriad Symbol Pavilion," he said.

Many of Myriad Symbol Pavilion's affairs are beyond the Monkey's capacity; they can only be recorded for now, to be dealt with one by one when Lin Chuan returns.
