"Did everything go smoothly?"
Chen Yuan asked with an air of casualness.
"Well enough."
Chen Changqing nodded and briefly recounted his engagement at the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, along with how he had killed Long Tian of the Ancient Dragon Clan along the way.
Even with Chen Yuan's steady temperament, the corners of his mouth twitched when he heard that his disciple had brought back yet another true dragon princess as his fiancée.
Together with the Third Princess of the Xuanyuan Divine Dynasty, the young valley master of Medicine God Valley, and the Empress of the Maple Leaf Dynasty...
Was this brat planning to catch all the fairies from the Nine Provinces' greatest powers in one net?
"Well done."
In the end, those were the only words Chen Yuan managed to squeeze out.
After all, marriage alliances offered a sect every benefit and no harm.
"Your young martial uncle Lu Tian came out of seclusion a few days ago. After hearing about your exploits, he kept clamoring to spar with you, so I sent him out to gain experience."
Chen Yuan brought up another matter.
Chen Changqing smiled at that.
His battle-hungry young martial uncle had certainly left a deep impression on him.
"Master, when does the Holy Land Grand Tournament begin?"
Chen Changqing turned to the business at hand.
"Soon. In one month."
Chen Yuan's expression grew serious.
"This tournament is no small matter. It concerns not only our Shushan Holy Land's reputation, but also an extraordinary opportunity afterward."
"They say the ultimate victor will have a chance to enter the legendary 'path to immortality.'"
"The path to immortality?"
Chen Changqing raised his brows slightly.
"Indeed. It is a road that has been severed since ancient times. Rumor has it that the true Immortal Realm lies at its end."
