Chu Lan: I Hid My Strength!

Nadu Tong, inside the office, Zhang Chulan shoved the door open.

Then, he saw Xu San and Xu Si, the two brothers, discussing something.

"Hey? Chulan, what brings you here? Aren't you supposed to be training?"

At this point, Zhang Chulan hadn't yet revealed his true strength.

Zhang Chulan: "Third Brother, Fourth Brother, I want to look into someone's information!"

Hearing this, both of them paused, then asked in confusion:

"Chulan, whose information do you want to see?"

Zhang Chulan: "The Great Abundant Immortal, Zuo Ruotong!"

At these words, Xu San and Xu Si furrowed their brows and said:

"That name feels a bit familiar, but it shouldn't be someone from our era, right?

Could it be from the last era? The Great Abundant Immortal—I haven't heard that title before!"

Then, Xu San said to Zhang Chulan:

"Hold on, Chulan, let me look it up for you!"

Meanwhile, Xu Si came over to Zhang Chulan, slung an arm around his neck, and said:

"Kid, tell me, why'd you suddenly think of investigating this guy? Does he have something to do with your grandfather?"

Zhang Chulan shook his head after hearing that:

"No, he's got nothing to do with my grandfather, but he does have some connection to the current Old Celestial Master.

I heard he's from the San Yi Sect. I got a bit of news about the Old Celestial Master.

That's why I wanted to look into this Great Abundant Immortal, Zuo Ruotong!"

Just then, Xu San suddenly spoke up:

"Found it, the Great Abundant Immortal, Zuo Ruotong!

Good heavens, he's actually the master of Lu Jin, one of the Ten Elders of the Lu family, and the former sect leader of the San Yi Sect.

According to the records, this Sect Leader Zuo elevated the San Yi Sect to its peak, and he cultivated Reverse Life Triple to its utmost, able to maintain the reverse life state permanently, giving him an ethereal, immortal-like appearance, hence the title Great Abundant Immortal.

His cultivation was unfathomable, and he was renowned throughout the Otherworldly Human World of his time.

Most importantly, under Zuo Ruotong's leadership, the San Yi Sect reached its most prosperous era, earning immense prestige.

Thus, in those days, his name was widely known, attracting many to seek apprenticeship.

And because of Zuo Ruotong's state, it was recognized at the time as the technique most likely to tread the 'Path to Heaven.'

Later, the then Quan Xing sect leader, Wu Gensheng, led a group to storm the San Yi Sect, breaking Reverse Life Triple and ending its myth once and for all.

After that, a rumor spread that Reverse Life Triple could never reach heaven.

Subsequently, Zuo Ruotong died, and the San Yi Sect, like mad dogs, hunted down Quan Xing and Wu Gensheng.

Under Lu Jin's leadership, they clashed fiercely with Quan Xing, until only Lu Jin remained alive from the San Yi Sect.

This incident stirred up no small waves at the time!"

Seeing this, Xu San and Xu Si exchanged glances, sighing with emotion:

"What a San Yi Sect, truly formidable! So relentless!

But this doesn't seem to have any connection to the Old Celestial Master, does it?"

Zhang Chulan shook his head after hearing this and said:

"So it was the San Yi Sect? Still, knowing a bit about the Great Abundant Immortal's strength, I mostly understand now.

The news I got was that, back in that era, when the Great Abundant Immortal was still alive and well, at the Lu family estate, the Old Celestial Master and Lu Jin, one of the Ten Elders, had a spar.

One slap, just one slap!"

"What do you mean, one slap?" Xu San pushed up his glasses, confused.

Zhang Chulan: "My grandmaster, with one slap, directly dispersed Lu Jin's Reverse Life Triple.

Even in the information I received, the Old Celestial Master at that time seemed inclined to test the Great Abundant Immortal himself.

But the previous Old Celestial Master stopped him.

According to what I got, the previous Old Celestial Master feared that even the Great Abundant Immortal might not be able to defeat the current Old Celestial Master in a short time, or might even lose."

"How is that possible?" The two's faces changed drastically.

Zhang Chulan shook his head and said: "Whether it's true or false, I don't know, but I can be sure of one thing.

Decades ago, the Old Celestial Master's strength was already on par with the old generation's methods.

And now, decades have passed, and the Old Celestial Master has been quietly cultivating on the mountain all this time!"

If you can't find it by searching the title, try searching by the author—maybe it just changed names!

"With that kind of talent and strength, what step do you think the Old Celestial Master has reached now?"

As soon as those words came out, the two of them sucked in a sharp breath.

"Hey, kid, why are you bringing this up?"

Zhang Chulan: "The Old Celestial Master's strength is unfathomable. Do you think it's possible he's reached that legendary step? And if so, could he see through Sister Bao'er's condition?"

At this, the two who had been confused earlier suddenly felt their hairs stand on end.

"Hey, kid, what do you mean by that?"

Zhang Chulan: "The Old Celestial Master is so strong, yet he was forced by a few people to change the rules of the Luotian Grand Ceremony. Tell me, if the Old Celestial Master didn't agree, could they really have forced him?"

Xu Si: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Zhang Chulan nodded and said, "Yeah, impossible! But he agreed anyway. That's where the problem comes in—why did he agree? And this Luotian Grand Ceremony, it appeared right after I showed up. I've always had this feeling that the Luotian Grand Ceremony is a trap, a setup for me. Maybe not for me personally, but for what my grandfather left behind, or something I'm carrying without even knowing it!"

Hearing this, the two fell silent.

They had originally planned to use this chance to see if they could find out something about Baobao's situation. But now, after listening to Zhang Chulan's words, they suddenly felt that this was fine too!

"Kid, do you have some kind of plan?"

Xu Si looked at Zhang Chulan and asked.

Zhang Chulan nodded, his expression serious as he said:

"I met an Eldest Brother a long time ago, and we had a pretty good relationship. He passed on a technique to me—one that lets me borrow some things to summon a part of his power, ability, and consciousness to help fight. This time, I think I should bring him along. If something goes wrong, with him here, we won't have to fear anyone."

At this, Xu San and Xu Si were stunned for a long moment before speaking.

"Hey, kid, are you sure you're not mistaken? Is there really someone that powerful?"

Zhang Chulan nodded and said, "In short, this Eldest Brother of mine is very, very strong. So strong it's unbelievable. With him around, even if all the Ten Elders came at once, he could protect us."

At this, the two fell silent again.

Xu Si: "Chulan, kid, don't talk nonsense! This kind of thing isn't something to joke about. If it goes wrong, it could cause a huge disaster!"

Zhang Chulan: "Heh, you didn't really think I only had this much strength, did you? Actually, that Eldest Brother also passed on a few things to me—I just haven't used them yet. After all, sometimes you need to keep some cards hidden. And now, my trump card isn't my own techniques anymore—it's this Eldest Brother of mine. But there's one thing I need you two to agree on: from now on, I'll call this technique 'Divine Descent.'"

At this, Xu San and Xu Si frowned. But Xu Si looked at Zhang Chulan and said:

"What you're saying is fine, but we need to see what your real strength actually is."

Zhang Chulan: "No problem. Let's go to the villa. There's no room to move here."

"Alright!"

Soon, they arrived at the villa, where Feng Baobao was sitting inside playing a game.

"San'er, Si'er, you're here!"

"Baobao, stop playing. Try sparring with Zhang Chulan—he says he still has abilities he hasn't used."

Feng Baobao put down her phone, looked up at Zhang Chulan, and said:

"Are you really going to go all out this time?"

At this, not only Xu San and Xu Si, but even Zhang Chulan was taken aback.

Then Xu San said, "Baobao, did you know Zhang Chulan was hiding his strength?"

Feng Baobao nodded and said, "I could feel it. Zhang Chulan has never used his full strength. Especially the qi inside him—it's very powerful, but he's never fully tapped into it."

Zhang Chulan's eyes showed shock when he heard this.

"Sister Bao'er, you could actually sense my strength?"

Feng Baobao: "Mm-hmm! §(￣▽￣)§"
