Storm Center of the Juegu Dynasty

After leaving behind imprints of their divine souls, everyone crossed the stone stele and continued onward.

Qin Heng discovered that the Wu Dao Hammer had somehow ended up inside his Immortal Mansion World. He took it out and handed it to Xuan Nie.

Xuan Nie hurriedly said to Lan Xuan Ke, "Thank you, sir, for recovering my Eldest Senior Apprentice's precious vessel of residence."

"A trivial matter." Lan Xuan Ke remained very calm.

Yu Ling was rather curious and could not help asking, "Second Venerable Lord, why do you seem uninterested in every exotic treasure? Have you already reached a realm detached from worldly things, where you no longer need treasures?"

Lan Xuan Ke shook his head. "You think too highly of me. I simply do not wish to seize what others cherish. Qin Heng is my disciple, a peerless prodigy with boundless prospects ahead of him. You are all his friends. If I took your treasures and forged family hatred and internal strife, things could turn ugly enough for master and disciple to turn against each other. Then it would be difficult to clean up in the future."

Qin Heng smiled. "Teacher possesses a saintly heart and naturally will not be disturbed by external things. Those who possess both holy virtue and ability are bound to have great fortune. On this journey into the Dragon Emperor's Cave Abode, Teacher may well break through in one stroke and step into the Eternal Realm!"

Lan Xuan Ke smiled. "Since when did you brat learn to speak empty words?"

Qin Heng said, "Those are my true feelings!"

As they chatted idly, the atmosphere gradually relaxed somewhat. Only Yan Feng's expression remained gloomy, his mood poor.

Seeing that he remained silent, Qin Heng sent him a private divine-sense message. "Are you all right?"
