Chapter 195: Dragon Elephant Soaring Heaven Sect

Chi Jiuyu looked at Yan Ming, and Yan Ming looked back at her expressionlessly.

But he secretly made a 'three' gesture.

"In that case, I'll tell you some things the next time you meet her," Chi Jiuyu immediately changed her tone.

Then she smirked at him.

Yan Ming remained expressionless, but inside he was seething with rage—damn it!

That damn fish was taking advantage of him! But he could only bide his time for now—his master seemed to be planning to discipline him, and he absolutely couldn't make a mistake during this period.

Still, there was no need to worry.

With that damn fish's self-destructive nature, he'd surely get his revenge someday!

The two's odd behavior left Zhang Yunlu bewildered.

"Ignore them."

Xu Xing's sudden voice made Zhang Yunlu pause, and Yan Ming trembled all over.

Chi Jiuyu wasn't intimidated; instead, she looked curious.

"Uncle, what are you looking at?"

"A very distant place."

Huh? That answer was the same as no answer.

Xu Xing turned to Zhang Yunlu: "Have you been in contact with your brother recently?"

"Yes, my brother said he's already arrived at Longxiang Qingtianzong."

"More than that—he's already passed the entrance trial of Longxiang Qingtianzong."

"So Uncle, you were just watching Longxiang Qingtianzong?" Chi Jiuyu asked, seizing the chance to speak first.

Xu Xing glanced at her: "Yes."

After all, she was the first cultivator to notice his emergence from seclusion—it was quite a fateful connection, so he naturally paid her a few extra glances.

"So will Little Yunlu's brother join Longxiang Qingtianzong?"

"Probably."

"Hmm…" Chi Jiuyu pondered for a moment, "If he becomes a disciple of Longxiang Qingtianzong, then when the two siblings meet again, how should he address Little Yunlu?"

Little Yunlu would become his junior sister—meaning she was a disciple of the Sword Sovereign.

And her brother, barring some unimaginable twist, could never possibly become a disciple of the Might Sovereign; by the time it was all counted, Zhang Xiu might be several generations below Zhang Yunlu.

Tsk tsk!

How interesting.

Zhang Yunlu: "..."

Xu Xing smiled helplessly.

This guy always focused on the weirdest angles.

Meanwhile.

A thread of his spirit had crossed infinite distances and landed far away.

…………

Longxiang Qingtianzong.

As the sacred ground of body cultivators in the Xuan Realm, its sect was built atop the famed perilous region of Central Continent—the Qianluan Sea.

Across the vast sea, islands were neatly arranged, yet the climate and environment on each island differed.

Gale winds, thunder pools, volcanoes, ice and snow, crushing pressure…

Even two adjacent islands might have entirely different, even opposite, environments.

This was the origin of the "chaotic" in Qianluan Sea.

Yet these extreme conditions were the perfect training grounds for body cultivators.

Inside volcanoes spewing thick black smoke, formation patterns glowed, raising magma temperatures several levels; body cultivators soaked within, eyes tightly shut.

On towering snow-capped mountains, figures sat atop peaks, great arrays enveloping the entire island, coldness sharp as blades!

Amidst torrents of lightning, thunder roared as sturdy figures walked through viscous thunder pools, leaving charred marks across their bodies.

On the crushing-pressure island, figures carried mountains on their shoulders, circling the island.

Scenes like these.

Body cultivators always trained this way—anyone who saw them could sense their indomitable will.

Unfortunately, constant "friendly greetings" kept floating out—and they shouted loudly…

Hence, Longxiang Qingtianzong's tourism industry had always been terrible.

But Longxiang Qingtianzong didn't care.

Training the body every day was already exhausting; if they didn't vent, they'd burst.

At the very center of Qianluan Sea lay a grand, expansive continent, rivaling the floating continent of the Sword Sect's inner sect. In ancient times, before Longxiang Qingtianzong was founded, the islands of Qianluan Sea were scattered chaotically, with violent spatial currents ravaging the area—extremely dangerous.

Until the Might Sovereign walked across the sea, reached out, plucked a million stars, and fused them with the islands into a single continent.

Then he pointed once, leveling the rampant spatial currents and rearranging the chaotic islands.

Only then did Longxiang Qingtianzong come to be as it is today!

At this moment.

On the continent forged from islands and a million stars.

Longxiang Qingtianzong's outer sect, Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.

Zhang Xiu and a group of aspiring body cultivators waited nervously in the reception hall.

Lao Jiang chattered beside him, offering reassurance.

"Relax, don't be nervous—you're already at the Spirit Transformation Realm at your age, and you passed the entrance trial, so you're definitely getting in."

Old Jiang had now regained his youth, his posture straight, heroic and imposing.

"There won't be any issues with your identity—I'm vouching for you."

Perhaps it was a lingering effect from his earlier injuries, his mouth tended to chatter, like an old man worried about his child.

Old Jiang had once been a member of the Long Xiang Qing Tian Sect.

But after being injured and losing someone important, he lost heart and came to Xuanjian City to wait for death.

Then he met Zhang Xiu.

"I'm not nervous," Zhang Xiu said, half-laughing, half-crying.

It's obvious you're more nervous than I am.

After arriving at the Long Xiang Qing Tian Sect, he asked Old Jiang to deliver the letter given to him by the elder.

What kind of person was that elder!

Perhaps this sounds improper, but even without Old Jiang's guarantee, your identity shouldn't be an issue.

And I've already passed the entrance trial—how could I possibly fail to join the Long Xiang Qing Tian Sect!

…

…

Meanwhile, in an office within the Zashi Tang.

A list was projected midair; from top to bottom, Zhang Xiu's name stood in second place.

Below his name was an evaluation.

【Methods are simplistic, but still a promising talent】

Two figures with heavy, stable qi were gazing up at the list.

They were the two deputy heads of the Long Xiang Qing Tian Sect's Outer Gate Zashi Tang, and also the proctors overseeing this year's Inner Gate entrance examination.

"There are four who passed the entrance trial this time," one said.

"Then it's those four."

The other nodded.

Honestly, there wasn't much to discuss—the situation came suddenly, and neither of them had prepared.

Whoever passed gets in!

Just as the two reported the number of those admitted and prepared to review the list of the four who passed.

Knock knock!

"Enter."

The door opened, and a black-robed official entered, holding a jade token in his hands.

"Report, Deputy Head—an inner gate letter!"

Huh? One of them gestured and drew the jade token, checked its contents, and his expression stiffened, then turned furious! Boom! He smashed the desk before him with a single palm.

"Fuck! They want me to handle this fucking bullshit!"

The other deputy head, puzzled, drew the jade token and found only one sentence inside.

【Tang Yan, clean background, outstanding talent】

"Tang Yan..."

He was a Soul Transformation Realm body cultivator who ranked around tenth in this entrance trial.

"Damn it! They've lost all sense of shame—I'm going to report this to the Silutang!"

The deputy head who smashed the desk stormed out in a rage.
