Protagonist:
Xu Zhangqing
Xu Zhangqing then raised a second finger: "The second choice is the Secret Realm outside; inside, Spiritual Energy is abundant, and quite a few Spiritual Treasures are hidden.
Perhaps it can bring you Opportunity before the Breakthrough, letting your Golden Core Grade rise another Cultivation Level."
One, Qingmu Peak.
Two, Secret Realm.
Lin Feng's eyes flickered slightly, somewhat Tempted by the Secret Realm.
Sun Shangxiang frowned slightly, weighing the pros and cons of the two.
Xu Zhangqing took both their expressions in his eyes and said slowly: "Both choices have their merits; Qingmu Peak wins in safety and stability, able to guarantee the Success Rate of the Calamity Crossing to the greatest extent.
The Secret Realm wins in Opportunity; if there are gains, it will greatly benefit your future cultivation."
He Paused, then Supplemented: "Regardless of which you Choose, Teacher has already prepared enough Resources.
If you choose Qingmu Peak, I will visit Master to finalize the Calamity Crossing time.
If you choose the Secret Realm, Teacher will investigate the details and help you eliminate Risks."
Hearing this, Sun Shangxiang and Lin Feng glanced at each other, then said in unison: "Reporting to Master, we choose Qingmu Peak!"
Indeed, Opportunity exists in the Secret Realm, along with various Spiritual Treasures.
However, Calamity Crossing is dangerous; Qingmu Peak is the safest.
Xu Zhangqing nodded slightly: "Good, Teacher knows."
The two cupped their fists in salute: "Disciple takes leave~"
"Elder Sister, you Single Spirit Root try the Secret Realm, maybe you'll encounter Opportunity!"
"Just you afraid? I'm not afraid?"
"I have Dual Spirit Root, naturally more stable!"
They walked toward the Door Outside while discussing seriously.
Xu Zhangqing Withdrew his Gaze and laughed lightly: "Worthy of being my Disciple."
After the Disciples left, he no longer delayed; a Green Radiance Sheng Fang from beneath him, and then the Tai Yi Green Lotus Seat came out.
As the Lotus Petals gently unfurled, Yun Wen Spirit Mist coiled around him, lifting him steadily.
"Go."
Xu Zhangqing gave a low shout, the Tai Yi Green Lotus Seat transformed into a green rainbow and fled, speeding toward Qingmu Peak at extreme speed.
Before long, Qingmu Peak came into view.
Towering great trees, clouds and mist coiling.
Strange flowers and rare grasses covered everywhere, Spiritual Resonance flowing ceaselessly.
Xu Zhangqing had just arrived outside the Hall when he saw a figure walking toward him — precisely Third Senior Brother Qin Ye.
Seeing Xu Zhangqing, a trace of joy flashed in Qin Ye's eyes; he stepped forward quickly: "Sixth Junior Brother!"
Xu Zhangqing put away the Tai Yi Green Lotus Seat and cupped his fists: "Welcome Third Senior Brother."
Qin Ye Hehe laughed, teasing: "Your kid's aura is restrained without a ripple; could it be you're only a step away from Nascent Soul Stage?"
Xu Zhangqing blinked, counter-questioning noncommittally: "Senior Brother's aura is like an abyss and sea; are you about to Impact Nascent Soul?"
Qin Ye nodded: "Correct, I've already discussed the time with Master; next I must properly prepare Calamity Crossing Resources and make thorough preparations."
Xu Zhangqing hurriedly said: "If Senior Brother has any needs, Junior Brother will certainly do his utmost."
Qin Ye patted his Shoulder, sighing: "Your kid is far more generous than me; might really have to ask you for help."
Over these years, because of Cooperation, the relationship between Both Sides has progressed further.
Qin Ye shockingly Discovered that this Sixth Junior Brother, though Low profile, is Truly Rich.
The people on Xianfeng compared to him are simply a small mountain seeing a Big mountain.
Xu Zhangqing nodded: "No problem."
Qin Ye asked Curiously: "Right, why did you come up the mountain?"
Xu Zhangqing Explained: "This visit is to ask Master for advice on a private matter."
Qin Ye smiled: "I just finished asking for advice; didn't expect to get scolded a meal."
Xu Zhangqing was stunned: "How come?"
Qin Ye shrugged: "Logically, I should have Broken Through Nascent Soul long ago, but these years I've been adventuring in various Secret Realms, dragging it out until now.
Master said, Hundred-year Nascent Soul has Benefits; Senior Brother has already missed it."
Xu Zhangqing Thoughtful: "So it is."
Qin Ye glanced toward the Hall Inside and said in a low voice: "Junior Brother, you're not young either; if you can Break Through Nascent Soul early, do it early.
Don't be like me — didn't catch Opportunity, and got scolded on top of it."
Xu Zhangqing nodded forcefully: "Understood."
Qin Ye Waved his Hand: "Alright, Master is in the Main Hall right now; you go in quickly, I won't delay you."
Finished speaking, he Summoned a Seven-Colored Spirit Deer and immediately rode the clouds away.
Xu Zhangqing Sees Situation and Rolled Eyes: "You call this not catching Opportunity?"
Good Fellow, Seven-Colored Cloud-Treading Deer.
The finest among Wood Attribute Spirit Beasts.
Currently, a single juvenile costs a hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones.
Xu Zhangqing shook his head: "Senior Brother's mouth, a ghost's deceit."
Immediately, he stepped into the hall.
Inside, the spiritual energy was even denser; Mu Ji floated in midair.
His eyes seemed closed yet not closed, the Withering and Flourishing Dao Rhyme flowing around his body.
Xu Zhangqing bowed in salute: "Disciple pays respects to Master."
Mu Ji opened his eyes, his gaze falling on him: "Coming here today, what is the matter?"
Xu Zhangqing did not beat around the bush either, speaking directly: "Replying to Master, my two disciples have reached Foundation Establishment Perfection and are about to assault Golden Core.
I humbly beg Master's gracious permission to let them come to Qingmu Peak for the breakthrough."
Mu Ji nodded lightly: "Since they are your disciples, naturally they may.
Once the time is set, just come directly."
Xu Zhangqing bowed in thanks: "Many thanks, Master!"
Mu Ji changed the subject, his tone gaining a few degrees of solemnity: "Speaking of which, there is a matter I must discuss with you."
Xu Zhangqing's expression turned serious: "Master, please speak."
Mu Ji said slowly: "Your Eldest Senior Sister, previously according to the ten-year agreement, has already returned to the Luo River Bei Clan for a period of time, yet until now there has been no news.
Were it not for the soul lamp being unextinguished, one would have thought something happened to her."
Xu Zhangqing's heart stirred upon hearing this; he indeed knew of this matter.
But firstly it was Eldest Senior Sister's private affair, and secondly he had reminded Master, therefore he did not monitor it.
Unexpectedly, Eldest Senior Sister seems to have "met with mishap."
Mu Ji saw it in his eyes and asked: "What thoughts do you have?"
Xu Zhangqing pondered: "Master, Eldest Senior Sister's long delay in returning — could it be related to Him?"
Mu Ji counter-questioned: "You mean the Wu Sheng Chong Mu?"
Xu Zhangqing hurriedly nodded: "Yes."
Mu Ji said seriously: "Previously, the Great Elder has already intervened to warn the Wu Sheng Chong Mu, strictly ordering Him not to provoke our sect's disciples; one would think He would not move against Qing Tang."
Xu Zhangqing shook his head: "Though that is so, Disciple feels the matter is not that simple.
The Wu Sheng Chong Mu may fear the Great Elder and not dare act personally.
But if the Luo River Bei Clan's people act, is it not the same?"
The Luo River Bei Clan and the Wu Sheng Chong Mu seem entangled extremely deeply.
Eldest Senior Sister's return home, who knows, may have just fallen into the Luo River Bei Clan's calculations."
Mu Ji pondered for a moment, then said: "Your words are not without reason; then do this — you find time to go look for Qing Tang and see what the situation is."
Xu Zhangqing stepped back a pace, asking in disbelief: "I go?"
Mu Ji's eyes narrowed: "Your Second Senior Brother and Third Senior Brother are both preparing for their tribulation crossing, Fourth Junior Brother is too taciturn, Mu Ning cannot leave Qingmu Peak.
At present, besides you, who else could it be?"
Xu Zhangqing set his hands on his hips and demanded: "Why don't you go?"
"Sigh~"
Mu Ji let out a light sigh, helpless: "I cannot get away."
Xu Zhangqing gave an "oh," expressing doubt at this.
Just at this moment, a wave of spiritual resonance came from outside the hall, followed by a flower sedan chair entirely inlaid with gold and jade slowly touching down.
The sedan curtain stirred slightly, and a petite figure flew out from within!
