Inside the Jade Slip, the First Sect Leader?

When Chen Ning and the mysterious girl Hua Luo returned to Azure Cloud Mountain, it was already evening.

Cang Yue and other sect elders had been waiting for a long time.

Upon seeing the sect leader return, Cang Yue immediately went to greet him.

She was slightly surprised when she saw the girl following Chen Ning.

My heart skipped a beat.

This is a woman of unparalleled beauty.

She looked as if a fairy had descended to earth.

Let's set aside our doubts for now.

Cang Yue bowed and said, "Welcome, Sect Leader."

The Third Elder and Eighth Elder Lin Xiaotian behind him also clasped their hands in a salute.

No need for formalities.

Chen Ning nodded and continued, "Perfect timing, everyone is here. This is Hua Luo, whom I invited... Heaven Martial Realm expert, she will henceforth be a respected figure in the Dragon-Seeking Sect, with the same status as you."

Although Chen Ning couldn't figure out Hua Luo's exact cultivation level.

However, anyone who can defeat three Heaven Martial Realm level four or five experts can be called a Heaven Martial Realm expert.

"I've noted it down."

The Old Qi in unison.

The Third Elder knew that this was no ordinary person, seeing the sect leader's solemn introduction.

After all.

Ren Tiankuang, a powerful expert at the Heavenly Martial Realm, is not considered a retainer of the Dragon-Seeking Sect.

They're just errand runners, doing all the work for others.

However, the sect leader appointed such a woman as the worshipper this time.

This clearly demonstrates its unusual nature.

"Please come with me, little sister, I'll arrange accommodations for you."

Cang Yue smiled softly.

Hua Luo looked at her, then pointed at Chen Ning and asked earnestly, "Do you live with him?"

"This..."

One sentence was uttered.

Everyone present was stunned.

The Third Elder stood there and dozed off.

The Eighth Elder pretended to be drunk.

It was as if he couldn't remember anything, and knew nothing at all.

Cang Yue laughed and said, "Sister, you're too kind. My Dragon-Seeking Sect is certainly not so shabby. There are many places to stay on Azure Cloud Mountain. I will definitely arrange the most satisfactory place for you."

"No need, it's fine to be with him."

Hua Luo pointed her little finger at Chen Ning.

"She means that we can exchange cultivation insights. How about this, you arrange for Hua Luo to move to the courtyard next to mine."

Chen Ning immediately stepped forward to offer an explanation.

"I'll do as the sect leader says."

Cang Yue revealed a meaningful smile.

Then.

She then spoke solemnly, "Sect Leader, there is one matter that requires your decision."

We're getting right to the point.

The two elders, who had been pretending to be drunk and pretending to be asleep, also woke up.

What is it?

Chen Ning asked calmly.

"The Yin-Yang Holy Land sent a letter the day before yesterday, requesting the sect leader to go there. The messenger said they had a request for the sect leader."

As Cang Yue spoke, she presented a letter.

Chen Ning took the letter, unfolded it, and read it.

The brushstrokes conveyed a profound meaning, suggesting they were written by a powerful individual.

As expected.

It should have been created by the two holy masters of the Yin-Yang Holy Land.

The Yin-Yang Holy Land ranks third among the super powers; what could he possibly need from me?

Chen Ning began reading with great interest.

A moment later.

Chen Ning put the letter away.

I understand the origin of the matter.

It turns out that the Yin-Yang Holy Land possesses the Pill Formula for Zhang Chao's first-grade elixir.

But no one could refine pills of that grade.

The Yin-Yang Holy Land is now eager to refine that Immortal Pill.

Left with no other choice, they sought out the Heavenly Lake Holy Lord, who then recommended himself to him.

That's why the Yin-Yang Holy Land sent a letter.

Furthermore, the letter concluded by stating that if Sect Leader Chen could refine the Immortal Pill according to the Pill Formula, it would be a great success.

The Yin-Yang Holy Land will surely repay you in the future.

That's it.

Chen Ning suddenly realized.

"It seems I owe Senior Mu a favor again this time."

Chen Ning shook his head and chuckled.

As is widely known.

The Heavenly Lake Holy Land and Yin-Yang Holy Land are closely related.

The fact that the Heavenly Lake Holy Lord pushed this opportunity onto him shows that he had strategized an ally for the Dragon-Seeking Sect.

I really don't understand.

Why does the Heavenly Lake Holy Lord favor him so much?

Is it because he's handsome?

Chen Ning smoothed the stray hairs from her forehead.

"Since you're all here, give me your hand."

Chen Ning looked at Cang Yue, the Third Elder, and Lin Xiaotian.

Upon hearing this, all three opened their palms.

Chen Ning's mind stirred slightly.

The sect's protective formation, the Divine Abyss Soul-Annihilating Array, is linked to the three individuals.

Upon sensing the soul-chilling rhythm of the array, all three of them changed their expressions.

With just a brief moment of perception, they were able to grasp the mystery and terror of that formation.

Now.

They could also sense a faint divine aura swirling within the Azure Cloud Mountain area.

The system's rewards are that simple and straightforward.

A protective formation immediately enveloped the entire sect.

He also bestowed the ability to activate the grand formation upon Cang Yue and the others.

This way, everything will be perfectly safe even when I'm not around.

"Sect Leader, with this formation in place, the Dragon-Seeking Sect can finally gain a foothold in Central Province."

Cang Yue spoke with delight.

The Third Elder nodded in agreement.

This formation is incredibly profound. The Third Elder knew that even with his Venerable Martial Seventh Layer cultivation, if he were truly locked down by that formation, he probably wouldn't survive more than three breaths.

Eighth Elder Lin Xiaotian was overjoyed. "See? The sect leader has entrusted the control of the sect's protective formation to me, the Eighth Elder."

This kind of honor is not something everyone can have.

Late at night.

Chen Ning took out the Jade Slip left behind by the First-Generation Sect Master alone in the room.

And release divine thoughts to communicate with it.

The Jade Slip remained unmoved.

Chen Ning frowned slightly, then became completely absorbed in the moment, focusing his mind and his gaze sharp as lightning.

Finally.

The Jade Slip shone brightly.

Chen Ning's Divine Sense also entered into an illusory space.

Here.

It was pitch black.

There is no direction.

Is this the inside of the Jade Slip?

Chen Ning muttered to himself.

He always felt that many things were connected.

Just like this time, if he hadn't been taught the Spirit Control Technique by the third-generation sect leader, he probably wouldn't have been able to open this Jade Slip with his own Divine Power.

However, those events were too fragmented, incomplete, and impossible to connect.

Boundless darkness is everything here.

Suddenly.

A faint light appeared ahead, very distant, and Chen Ning's Divine Sense followed the light, moving forward.

Just as he was about to reach out and touch the light.

Yet it seemed as if an invisible wall was blocking everything.

He couldn't touch that light.

Though unreachable.

But just staring at that light made me feel dizzy and mesmerized.

"Are you a descendant of the Dragon-Seeking Sect?"

Behind me.

A detached voice rang out. In this dark environment, any sound would stimulate the nerves. Chen Ning was slightly taken aback, and then he turned his head.

Then I saw an old man.

This old man possessed extraordinary bearing.

His eyes seemed to reflect the stars of the heavens.

Chen Ning recognized him.

Because he had seen the portrait of the First-Generation Sect Master.

"Chen Ning, the ninth generation leader of the Dragon-Seeking Sect, pays respects to the patriarch."

Chen Ning worshipped.

A thought stirred within me.

I never expected to see a wisp of the First-Generation Sect Master's divine consciousness here.

When the old man heard Chen Ning's words, a hint of emotion flickered in his deep eyes.

"Wow, it's already reached the ninth generation and it's still alive? I'm really awesome, hehe."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ning...

My lips twitched involuntarily. What the hell kind of art style is this?

They don't have that otherworldly, ethereal feel at all!
