The Return Journey

Although Hua Yao was somewhat shy, she greeted him with grace and poise.

Next, Hua Yao settled down at Evergreen Peak.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, several months have passed.

During this time, Chen Changqing was quite relaxed.

With nothing to do, I strolled with Hua Yao through the sea of clouds and mountain streams, admiring the wonders of the Mount Shu and reminiscing about what had happened since we last met.

Hua Yao gently stayed by Chen Changqing's side.

The two were very affectionate, which made many disciples of Mount Shu envious.

Besides this, what also intrigued many disciples of Mount Shu was...

How exactly did the Eleventh Holy Son of Mount Shu cultivate?

In the past, Chen Changqing would either sunbathe and sleep in the Shu Mountain Sacred Land, or walk his dog around.

It was assumed that Chen Changqing would become complacent after becoming a disciple of the Sect Master and Holy Son.

Who would have thought that the speed at which his cultivation improved would be so astonishing.

Now, Chen Changqing is once again taking the young lady from Medicine God Valley to the Shu Mountain Sacred Land to express her love.

It gave the impression that he wasn't cultivating at all.

However, his cultivation level had already reached the Half-Step Spirit Transformation.

They're only one step away from the Spirit Transformation Realm!

On this day, Chen Changqing saw that it was about time, so he found Hua Yao and talked about returning to Medicine God Valley.

Hua Yao had no objection to this.

She knew in her heart that Chen Changqing had promised his grandfather, Hua Xing, that he would pick a medicinal herb for him in the Immortal Mountain Secret Realm.

"A-Yao."

"Please wait a moment, I'm going to Seven Stars Peak."

Chen Changqing glanced at Hua Yao and said.

Before leaving, he naturally had to say goodbye to his master Chen Yuan.

"Um."

Hua Yao nodded obediently.

Without further ado, Chen Changqing leaped into the air, transforming into a streak of light and heading straight for Seven Stars Peak.

The Seven Stars Peaks are shrouded in mist and clouds.

Inside the main hall, Chen Yuan, the Sect Master the Mount Shu sect, was deep in thought.

"In a few months, it will be the day for the Main Peak Martial Competition of the major sects of our Shu Mountain Sacred Land."

"With Changqing's strength, he will surely shine brightly in this martial arts competition!"

Chen Yuan muttered to himself.

Earlier, when Chen Changqing returned from Medicine God Valley, he told Chen Yuan about his experiences on the way.

Upon learning that Xue Wuhen, the Blood God Son of the Blood God Sect, had been killed by Chen Changqing, who had also killed Spirit Transformation Elder of the Blood God Sect.

Chen Yuan was utterly shocked.

He had initially expressed some concerns about Chen Changqing's participation in the Main Peak Martial Competition.

After all, the Peak Scion of all the major Main Peaks will be participating, and these people are all at the Spirit Transformation stage.

Chen Changqing, on the other hand, was only at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

To Chen Yuan's surprise, on his way back, Chen Changqing not only killed the Spirit Transformation Elder of the Blood God Sect, but also broke through to the Half-Step Spirit Transformation Realm.

"My apprentice always brings surprises when he returns from his travels!"

"He hasn't been back from the Nine Provinces Divine Dynasty for long, and his cultivation has already broken through from the Nascent Soul Middle Stage to the Half-Step Spirit Transformation."

"Judging from this, it is highly likely that he will reach the Spirit Transformation Realm before the major Main Peak Martial Competition."

"Given his various skills, it wouldn't be impossible for him to achieve good results in the martial arts competition!"

Just as Chen Yuan was lost in thought, Chen Changqing descended into the hall and stepped inside.

"Greetings, Master!"

Before going up, Chen Changqing bowed deeply to Chen Yuan.

"Changqing, you've arrived."

Chen Yuan smiled slightly, clearly very satisfied with Chen Changqing, his Personal Disciple.

Chen Changqing nodded and, without beating around the bush, said directly:

"Master, your disciple has come to say goodbye."

Upon hearing Chen Changqing's words, Chen Yuan's smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression.

After Chen Changqing returned from Medicine God Valley, he mentioned the matter of the Immortal Mountain Secret Realm.

After a slight pause, Chen Yuan said solemnly:

"Changqing."

"This Immortal Mountain Secret Realm are unlike any other place."

"While it holds immense fortuitous opportunities, it is also extremely dangerous."

"Good fortune may be a harbinger of misfortune; every time the Immortal Mountain opens, it is also a time of bloodshed."

"Various forces will be drawn into it, and it is itself riddled with restrictions and dangers."

"Although you have great fortuitous opportunities and extraordinary abilities, remember to avoid arrogance and impetuosity, and always prioritize your own safety!"

Chen Yuan earnestly reminded him.

Feeling the warmth in Chen Yuan's heart after sensing his concern, Chen Changqing bowed and said:

"I will remember what Master has said."

"I will be extremely careful on this trip and will not disappoint your expectations."

Chen Yuan nodded and then said:

"Also, be extremely careful of the Blood God Sect on this trip!"

"You previously killed Blood God Son, Xue Wuhen; his father will certainly not let this go."

"Although they dare not act recklessly in my Mount Shu, it's a different story outside."

Chen Changqing nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

He didn't pay much attention to Xue Wuhen Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

After all, he was accompanied by Hua Xing from Medicine God Valley on his trip to the Immortal Mountain Secret Realm, who was True Lord with a title.

With Hua Xing, he probably wouldn't dare to do anything to me.

Then, Chen Changqing didn't linger and bid farewell to Chen Yuan before leaving.

Watching Chen Changqing's departing figure, Chen Yuan's eyes were filled with satisfaction, and he muttered to himself:

"I wonder what surprise this kid will bring next time we meet?"

As he spoke, Chen Yuan felt a sense of anticipation deep down.

Soon, Chen Changqing returned to Evergreen Peak.

At this moment, not only Hua Yao was waiting for him, but Elder Liu Mu of Evergreen Peak, along with Ran Hua and others, were also waiting.

"Gentlemen, during my absence, Elder Liu Mu has been in charge of all affairs at Evergreen Peak."

Chen Changqing said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Ran Hua and the others bowed and agreed.

"Yes, Holy Son!"

Then, Chen Changqing grabbed Hua Yao, took Little Black with him, and flew away on his sword.

Everyone stared at Chen Changqing's departing figure for a long time before finally turning their gaze away.

"By the time the Holy Son returns, he will probably have already reached the Spirit Transformation!"

Liu Mu sighed to himself.

Before long, Chen Changqing and Hua Yao returned to Medicine God Valley.

Upon learning of their return, Hua Gu immediately came to see them.

Upon seeing his beloved daughter and Chen Changqing return safely, a relieved smile spread across his face.

Upon learning from Hua Yao that Xue Wuhen had ambushed them on the way, Hua Gu's expression suddenly darkened, turning cold and stern.

"Snort!"

"That Blood God Sect is truly despicable!"

"He was Qi Ingestion to accept defeat and resorted to underhanded tactics behind the scenes."

Hua Gu was furious.

"Father, thankfully Brother Changqing is very capable."

"Not only did they kill Xue Wuhen, but they also killed a Spirit Transformation elder of the Blood God Sect."

As soon as Hua Yao uttered these words, Hua Gu was immediately shocked, his face filled with disbelief.

In addition, he discovered that Chen Changqing's cultivation had already reached the Half-Step Spirit Transformation realm.

"Changqing, you..."

Hua Gu stared blankly at Chen Changqing, momentarily speechless with shock.

Chen Changqing remained calm.

Thinking back, if he hadn't been dealing with that Spirit Transformation elder from the Blood God Sect, he wouldn't have collected the rewards from his idle time ahead of time.

Otherwise, he should have already broken through to the Spirit Transformation Realm.
