Chapter 719: Troops to the North Sea, right now!

"Is he leaving?"

In a quiet secret room, Fu Qinglan slowly opened her eyes.

Fu Chaosheng, who had just entered, nodded.

Fu Qinglan pursed her lips and asked faintly: "Is he going to find his dual cultivation partner?"

Fu Chaosheng sighed, "That is indeed the case. Previously, I only thought he was a loose cultivator from the North Sea, and the spirit pets and followers following him were also from the North Sea. I didn't expect that he actually came from the Eastern Wasteland. If he hadn't taken the initiative to say it, I'm afraid we would still be kept in the dark."

"Eastern Wasteland... Desolate Loose Cultivator..."

Fu Qinglan muttered Luo Chen's self-chosen Daoist name and couldn't help but chuckle.

It turned out that from the very beginning, Luo Chen had indicated his background.

And thinking that the other party personally told her grandfather that he already had a dual cultivation partner, Fu Qinglan could only sigh that the decision she made earlier was correct.

Not to mention whether Luo Chen was willing to marry into the Fu family, the fact that he already had wives and concubines destined that she would not share a husband with others.

"When is he leaving?"

Fu Chaosheng said: "He has already reported to Elder Qideng of the Star Gate and has currently left the Heavenly Peak. However, before leaving the Central Plains, he still needs to return to the Wangwu Mountain Range. He will take his spirit pets and followers there, and at the same time, hand over the large amount of cultivation resources I prepared for him."

After hearing this, Fu Qinglan sighed, "He is still so thoughtful..."

Afterwards, she fell into a long silence.

Fu Chaosheng didn't say much on the side, but when he looked at his granddaughter from time to time, there was a sense of alienation and strangeness.

The other party had changed a lot after coming out of the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven.

Not only the change in cultivation realm, but also the change in personality.

She had become much more mature.

Especially after entering the Zuwang Peak, this change was even greater.

Of course, this change was good in Fu Chaosheng's view; his lifespan was running out, and he couldn't protect his granddaughter for a lifetime. If Qinglan could take charge of things early, then naturally he couldn't ask for more.

Suddenly.

A yellowed animal skin booklet appeared in the woman's hand.

"Send this book to him!"

Fu Chaosheng frowned, "Why give another gift? Although he paid fifty years of lifespan, he has already gained a lot of benefits from us. Especially last time, according to your wishes, I sent him the array book and sword scripture."

As he spoke, his gaze fell on the animal skin booklet, and his expression was startled.

"'Tongyou Collection'? Isn't this the set of chess scriptures you like the most?"

Fu Qinglan stroked the yellowed pages; the pages tanned from the skin of an unknown monster beast were so soft, and there was some reluctance in her eyes.

But thinking of Luo Chen's clumsy appearance when he played chess with her, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

"It's just a set of chess scriptures, which can be bought everywhere in the Central Plains, and for me now, it's just a minor path. Giving it to him is just a send-off, hoping that when we meet again in the future, his chess skills won't be so unbearable."

While speaking, she waved her hand lightly.

The "Tongyou Collection" floated in front of Fu Chaosheng.

Fu Chaosheng didn't say anything more this time; it was just an ordinary chess scripture, and the Central Plains lacked nothing more than these types of books.

The "Tongyou Collection" might be a bit special, passed down from the upper realm, but that was all.

In the end, it was still just a miscellaneous book unrelated to Dao cultivation.

"I will have someone take the chess scriptures back to the family via the teleportation array and hand them to Luo Chen. As for you, have you arranged things with the Sect Master and the Ancestors?"

Fu Qinglan smiled, "Grandfather, don't worry about me. Since I have entered the Zuwang Peak, Qinglan's Dao is promising. Just wait for the remaining few to come out of the Cave Heaven, and the sect will reward them according to their rankings."

"That will be soon then."

Fu Chaosheng stroked his beard, looking forward to that day.

And the arrival of that day was indeed very soon.

About half a year later, in the main hall of the Heavenly Peak, two figures appeared at the same time.

One man and one woman; the man was True Person Long Yuan, and the woman was the true disciple Ming Yan.

And the result was somewhat astonishing.

True Person Long Yuan, who was favored by many, did not succeed in realizing the power of the origin, but instead, Ming Yan, who came from the master-disciple lineage, gained a lot!

At that time, according to Ming Yan, True Person Long Yuan had received a sword strike from Luo Chen at the Three Rainbow Waterfall and was injured, which made the subsequent epiphany difficult.

But in the eyes of those sharp-eyed representatives of the great families, it was clear that True Person Long Yuan had become a stepping stone for the master-disciple lineage.

Now the master-disciple lineage had an extra genius who had realized the power of the origin, and there was hope for revitalization from now on.

And the Liu family of the humble background, where True Person Long Yuan came from, had its momentum of rise broken.

Even if they were promoted to a great family in the future, they would only be the most ordinary great family, and it would be hard to say whether they could maintain their status after a thousand years.

After them, Gu Yuan also came out.

And the result was equally unexpected.

Gu Yuan did not realize the power of the origin!

You must know, according to the true disciples who came out earlier, Gu Yuan did not encounter any obstacles from beginning to end, and his protector Gu Chen protected him all the way.

With such smooth sailing, he was not as good as Fu Qinglan, Gu Daosu, and Ming Yan?

And what was even more surprising was that under these circumstances, the old patriarch of the Gu family, who had always been strict, did not blame Gu Yuan at all, but praised him for doing well.

This kind of incongruous matter left everyone confused.

But this doubt did not last long.

Because the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven began to close.

Under the Heavenly Peak, the clouds and mist in the Tunjiang began to be recycled in large quantities, sinking into that big mouth.

Everyone left the main hall together, looking at the entrance of the Cave Heaven.

There was still one person who had not come out!

Just as the Cave Heaven was about to close completely, a golden sun slowly floated out from the entrance.

It was Shi Ju!

Not mentioning the congratulations of the crowd, Shi Ju's eyes scanned the surroundings like torches, but he did not see the person he wanted to see.

"Did he hide?"

At this moment.

A vicissitudes voice sounded slowly.

"Cave Heaven closes, return to Lanke!"

Everyone set up their escape lights without thinking and left the Heavenly Peak.

The Heavenly Peak, which had been lively for a year, instantly became quiet.

And countless people's attention was focused on the Qingyun Square of the Rotten Ke Mountain Range.

Brilliant light everywhere, golden-threaded jade steps.

One after another, the figures of the disciples who participated in this grand competition appeared on the jade steps one after another.

Everyone looked up until Sect Master Mo Shouzhuo appeared.

He waved his hand, and the boy behind him took out a scroll and slowly unfolded it.

"Ge Ling, ranked tenth in the Core Formation grand competition, rewarded with 10,000 top-grade spirit stones, one mid-grade Dao robe, five bottles of Qiong Hua Elixir, and can enter the Scripture Depository to study for fifteen days."

"Li Zizhuang, ranked ninth in the Core Formation grand competition, rewarded with 20,000 top-grade spirit stones, one mid-grade Dao robe, ten bottles of Qiong Hua Elixir, and can enter the Scripture Depository to study for fifteen days."

"Liu Changfeng..."

One name after another was read out, and everyone and the family behind them were extremely excited.

Especially Liu Changfeng, this junior from the humble Liu family, being able to rank in the top ten was truly bringing honor to his ancestors.

Those rewards were one thing, but the half-month time to enter the Scripture Depository to study was precious!

Because, after entering, one could not only search for suitable cultivation methods but also learn some powerful spells, and these things could even be passed down in the family!

The failure of True Person Long Yuan had already cast a shadow over the future of the Liu family, but with the addition of Liu Changfeng, it finally washed away some of the haze.

True Person Long Yuan, who was standing outside the jade steps, looked slightly better.

Next, the ranking rewards for the Core Formation disciples were distributed one after another.

But starting from the sixth place, the top spots were basically all occupied by disciples from great families.

Only at the second place was there an accident.

The second place was surnamed Wang.

He came from the Bocuan Wang family, which was the Wang family where the true disciple who was forced out of the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven by Luo Chen's sword was from.

This person was quite extraordinary; he roamed the outer perimeter of the Cave Heaven alone with his sword, hunting a large number of third-rank illusion beasts.

His brilliance was in no way inferior to the disciples of great families!

But True Person Long Yuan no longer paid attention to these; his gaze was only fixed on the two rows at the very top of the jade steps.

Three people stood in the second row.

Gu Daosu was in the middle, Shi Ju was on the right, and the back of the woman on the left made his gaze extremely complex.

Was his hundred years of tempering in the North Sea just to achieve her?

Mingyan seemed to be able to feel the scorching gaze behind her, but she did not move at all.

Shi Ju on the right was quite restless, constantly looking left and right.

That person did not appear!

At this time of the grand ceremony, he still had not appeared.

Representatives of other families and protectors of Nascent Soul true disciples were all present, only Luo Chen was nowhere to be seen.

"Did he hide?"

"You cannot hide. You injured my thunder clone and ruined my grand plan of dual cultivation of thunder and fire."

"I will definitely settle this debt with you!"

While muttering in his heart, he finally cast his man-eating gaze on the woman with the graceful figure in front.

"Bitch!"

These two words were spat out in a low voice without any concealment.

Fu Qinglan seemed not to notice and just stood there, only her waist straightened a bit more.

She had faced Shi Ju directly!

She had seen how miserable the other party was under Luo Chen's hands!

Her past timidity had long since vanished.

Moreover, she was no longer the Fu Qinglan of the past, but the first in the grand competition, the first person of her generation to enter the Sitting-Forgetfulness Peak to cultivate!

"Shi Ju, comprehended the power of the origin, bestowed with the True Clothing of Flame Clouds, Taihe Elixir, enter the Sitting-Forgetfulness Peak, study the 'Upper Profound Cave Clarity Flame Scripture'. In the Scripture Depository, bestowed with the Meng Shentong of Haoyi Chixiao Qi!"

The boy's voice was clear and distant.

As soon as it was spoken, everyone was shocked.

Even if it was within expectations, actually hearing this reward still made countless people envious.

However, Shi Ju himself had an extremely gloomy expression.

It shouldn't be like this!

Clearly, according to the plan, he should have been able to choose both thunder and fire Divine Abilities to cultivate together.

This was definitely an unprecedented treatment within the Heaven Origin Dao Sect.

Everything had been ruined by that man!

On the Qingyun, Mo Shouzhuo glanced at Shi Ju, whose emotions were clearly displayed, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Cultivating thunder and fire together, attempting to comprehend the supreme laws, even if it's a seedling cultivated from a young age, it still won't work! Especially, this temperament..."

These words were not self-talk, but a conversation with others.

Soon, someone responded to him.

"Regarding temperament, it is indeed true that we have protected Shi Ju too well. But what caused his failure was Fu Qinglan's protector!"

Another voice joined in.

"Luo Chen? That kid is quite good. He is valued by Chu Yan and has comprehended the true meaning of the laws. In the future, he might become a banner for the Heaven and Earth Peak."

Regarding this, Mo Shouzhuo did not agree.

"You all are mistaken; Luo Chen's path has already gone astray."

Gone astray?

Several fellow disciples did not refute Mo Shouzhuo; they could all see that the law true meaning Luo Chen comprehended did not match his own Dao.

At the very least, Luo Chen could not resonate with the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi!

Mo Shouzhuo said again: "Let the experiment on Shi Ju end here, unless he can comprehend the origin of thunder himself."

After speaking, he no longer participated in the discussion of his fellow disciples.

And the boy beside him read out the reward for the first Nascent Soul true disciple, Fu Qinglan.

"Fu Qinglan, comprehended the power of the origin, bestowed with the True Clothing of Saluo, Taihe Elixir, enter the Sitting-Forgetfulness Peak, study the 'Green Wood Supreme Spirit Transformation Scripture'. In the Scripture Depository, bestowed with the Meng Shentong of Great Heaven Creation Seal!"

"Additionally, can enter under the seat of Ancestor Chunyuan to cultivate for a hundred years!"

As the words fell, everyone was shocked!

If the previous rewards were already very generous, with the three people before her paving the way, it was no longer surprising.

But the personal guidance of a Soul Transformation great expert was too heavy a reward.

The Heaven Origin Dao Sect was different from the Soul Transformation holy lands of the other four continents in the Mountain and Sea Realm; it was not teacher-student inheritance, but family inheritance as the main focus.

Even if one entered the Dao Sect, most of the time, cultivation still relied on oneself.

The sect's teaching was more about high-rank cultivators giving lectures, treating everyone equally.

And now, Fu Qinglan, a mere beginner in the Nascent Soul realm, could actually receive the personal guidance of a Soul Transformation great expert for a hundred years!

Given time, she might not be unable to become a new generation Soul Transformation ancestor!

For a time, everyone stared at Fu Qinglan's back with extreme envy, wishing they could take her place.

Under the gaze of everyone, the woman bowed slightly and spoke in a clear voice.

"Thank you, Sect Master, thank you, Sect!"

In her heart, the white-robed figure flashed; actually, she should thank him even more!

With this, the grand competition completely ended.

Mo Shouzhuo waved his hand, and the boy closed the scroll and stepped back.

The old man looked down at the dense crowd of cultivators below the mountain, his expression calm.

But the words he spoke were earth-shattering.

"My sect has been in this world for ten thousand years. Our ancestors worked hard, opening up territory, and snatched this rich land of Central Province from countless desolate beasts and demon clans for us to inhabit and cultivate."

"After the ancient era, three thousand years of time, my sect relied on the rich resources of Central Province to stand at the peak of the Mountain and Sea, looking down on the four continents."

"But the vast Central Province is no longer able to carry us to continue our cultivation. It just so happens that there is a demon chaos in the North Sea, with no leader, and someone needs to stand up and turn the tide. At this moment, it is the best time for us to inherit the legacy of our predecessors and carry forward the sect."

"Therefore, the march to the North Sea is now!"

The matter of marching to the North Sea had already been discussed by the great families of Central Province before the grand competition.

At this moment, being spoken by the Sect Master, it was completely set in stone.

For a time, after Mo Shouzhuo finished speaking, below Qingyun Mountain, a tsunami-like response sounded.

"March to the North Sea, now!"

"March to the North Sea, now!"

"March to the North Sea, now!"

In Wangwu Mountain.

Unlike the bustle of the Rotten Ke Mountain Range, it was exceptionally quiet here amidst the crisp sound of abacus beads being tapped.

Luo Chen quietly watched Tianxuan and the Fu family cultivators hand over more than a dozen storage bags of cultivation resources.

The amount of spirit stones involved was in the hundreds of millions.

After this, Luo Chen's savings were also exhausted by seven or eight tenths.

However, everything was worth it.

Even if Luo Chen left Central Province next, he would not have to worry about the resources needed for cultivation.

Outside the door, rapid footsteps sounded.

It was Sang Jinghe.

He walked in hurriedly, and seeing Luo Chen, his haggard face was full of joy instead.

"True Person, I have found a way to cultivate the Demon-Heart Tree!"
