Early Tribulation Crossing!
These four words crashed into the hall, instantly choking off the uproar.
Everyone's gaze unconsciously converged on Daoist Wuxing, as though they wanted to see from his rigid face whether he was spouting nonsense.
He had entered the sect in the same batch as Chen Changqing, yet in just a few short years, he had reached Tribulation Transcendence?
Such speed had appeared only in the freak Chen Changqing throughout the cultivation history of the Nine Provinces.
And now, another one had emerged from Shushan?
"Second Senior Brother, are you sure it's early Tribulation Crossing, not Spirit Transformation?" Bai Wuya frowned, his tone brimming with doubt.
Even Chen Yuan, the master who had always supported Chen Changqing, turned grave at this moment.
As the sect leader, he had not even known that such a disciple was hidden within the sect. That in itself was highly unusual.
Only Chen Changqing, after a brief moment of surprise, revealed an intrigued expression instead.
Not only did he feel no threat whatsoever, he found the matter increasingly entertaining.
Supreme Sword of Forgetting Emotion?
Early Tribulation Crossing?
A hidden genius?
Put those elements together, and they were simply the finest diversion for his bland cultivation life.
"Interesting."
Chen Changqing smiled, breaking the silence in the hall.
He stepped forward and met Second Elder Wuxing's scrutinizing gaze directly.
"Second Elder, since this Junior Brother Chen Yuan is so formidable, why not invite him out now and let us all broaden our horizons?"
"I would very much like to witness the bearing of this legendary Supreme Sword of Forgetting Emotion."
His tone was relaxed, yet it carried an overbearing force that brooked no refusal.
This was both curiosity and a silent declaration.
Whatever trump cards you are hiding, I, Chen Changqing, will take them all.
