The Heavenly Monarch's Verdict, the Talent of an Anomaly

Upon hearing Chen Yuan's question, Heavenly Monarch Wu Zhen did not rush to answer.

In the depths of those clear, youthful eyes, it seemed as if the birth and death of stars and the passage of time were intertwined.

After a moment of silence, Heavenly Monarch Wu Zhen slowly raised his head and then said:

"This child's soul and body are perfectly integrated and harmonious; it is definitely not a case of possession or grafting."

"The essence of its soul... is young and vibrant, yet it subtly carries an extraordinary quality that transcends the norms of this world."

Even I, as your teacher, cannot see through it.

After Heavenly Monarch Wu Zhen said this, Chen Yuan's anxious heart was finally put at ease.

After all, he had always held Chen Changqing, his Personal Disciple, in very high regard.

They even considered having him succeed them as the Sect Master in the future.

If Chen Changqing were a person whose body had been possessed and grafted, such an important position would certainly not fall into his hands.

Fortunately, Heavenly Monarch Wu Zhen had already carefully examined it.

Just as Chen Yuan felt relieved, Heavenly Monarch Wu Zhen frowned slightly, then added:

"Of course."

"If he was truly possessed by some being, then the level of that being that possessed his body, and the sophistication of its concealment, are probably..."

At this point, Heavenly Monarch Wu Zhen's expression suddenly became solemn, and he continued:

"At his peak, his cultivation level would have been at the highest level, even in the legendary Immortal World Realm."

"But why would such a being need to possess a mere Cultivator from the lower realms?"

Chen Yuan was stunned after hearing what Heavenly Monarch Wu Zhen said.

He had initially felt relieved.

Judging from what Heavenly Monarch Wu Zhen said, it seems that the possibility that Chen Changqing was possessed cannot be completely ruled out.

It's just that even with his Heavenly Monarch cultivation level, he couldn't see through it.

"Master."

"Then... can I, as your Personal Disciple, still shoulder this heavy responsibility?"

After a brief silence, Chen Yuan asked this question.

Upon hearing this, Heavenly Monarch Wu Zhen smiled slightly and replied:

"Chen Yuan."

"Your disciple is exceptionally talented."

Why can't they shoulder important responsibilities?

"To abandon such an outstanding disciple simply because of concerns about such vague speculation would be a great misfortune for Mount Shu!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan immediately understood and quickly said:

"Disciple understands!"

Meanwhile, in the courtyard outside the Refined Cottage, Chen Changqing waited by himself.

Not far away, Lu Tian sat cross-legged, ignoring him.

"Strangeness."

"Did Master bring me here just for this?"

"My master mentioned the Seven Peaks Grand Competition to me a year ago."

"Or is it that my Grandmaster Wu Zhen wants to see me?"

Just as Chen Changqing was lost in thought, the door to the Refined Cottage slowly opened.

Then, Chen Yuan emerged from within.

Seeing this, Chen Changqing came to his senses and stopped thinking about it.

"Disciple, let's go back!"

Chen Yuan smiled and looked at Chen Changqing, saying that after meeting Heavenly Monarch Wu Zhen, he was completely relieved.

Chen Changqing nodded and left with Chen Yuan without delay.

"Changqing, the Seven Peaks Grand Competition is imminent."

"You better not slack off, kid. You'll be representing the Seven Stars Peak lineage in the competition alongside your Junior Uncle Lu Tian."

Chen Changqing nodded and hummed softly:

"Don't worry, Master!"

"This disciple will do everything in my power."

Upon hearing Chen Changqing's reply, Chen Yuan smiled with satisfaction.

Meanwhile, in the courtyard of that Refined Cottage, Lu Tian slowly opened his eyes, sensing that Chen Yuan and Chen Changqing had already left Realization Peak.

Then, he slowly stood up and nimbly ran into the Refined Cottage.

Inside the room, Heavenly Monarch Wu Zhen sat cross-legged.

"Master!"

Upon approaching, Lu Tian bowed deeply to Heavenly Monarch Wu Zhen.

Upon hearing this, Heavenly Monarch Wu Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Lu Tian, and said calmly:

"My disciple."

"You've already met Chen Changqing."

"Tell me! What do you think of your senior brother's Personal Disciple?"

After hearing Heavenly Monarch Wu Zhen's question, Lu Tian tilted his head and thought for a moment.

After a long silence, he finally came to his senses and replied:

"Since this child was able to defeat Luo Futian, who had the cultivation of the Late Spirit Transformation stage, in the Holy Son Grand Competition, his strength is beyond doubt."

Even within the Spirit Transformation Realm, this is considered top-tier.

"My disciple's impression is that he... he's very strong!"

After hearing Lu Tian's reply, Heavenly Monarch Wu Zhen's eyes widened further, and he raised an eyebrow, saying:

"Oh?"

"Even you think he's very strong?"

Heavenly Monarch Wu Zhen was perfectly aware of the true nature of his Personal Disciple.

Despite his youthful appearance, Lu Tian is actually a true cultivation prodigy, born close to the Dao, and his comprehension of offensive techniques is nothing short of monstrous.

Although Lu Tian only has the cultivation level of the Late Spirit Transformation stage.

However, Heavenly Monarch Wu Zhen knew that Lu Tian's true combat strength was comparable to that of Tribulation Transcendence Great Power.

Even killing ordinary Tribulation Transcendence Cultivators is no problem for them.

Currently, Lu Tian's assessment of Chen Changqing is "very strong," which shows how much he values him.

After a moment's thought, Heavenly Monarch Wu Zhen grinned and murmured softly:

"Interesting..."

As he spoke, he slowly closed his eyes and continued:

"Lu Tian, focus on your cultivation!"

"The upcoming Seven Peaks Grand Competition will depend on you and that brat Chen Changqing for our Seven Stars Peak lineage!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Tian immediately bowed deeply to Heavenly Monarch Wu Zhen:

"Yes, Master!"

As for Chen Changqing, after leaving Realization Peak, Chen Yuan went straight back to his own Seven Stars Peak, while Chen Changqing turned around and returned to Evergreen Peak.

He had only just returned to his residence when Liu Mu and the others arrived with one person.

"Um?"

When Chen Changqing saw the person who came with Liu Mu and the others, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"Senior Brother!"

As he spoke, he quickly got up and went to greet him.

Unexpectedly, Jian Zhenzi would come to his Evergreen Peak at this time.

"Junior brother, you're back!"

Before Chen Changqing could even reply, Jian Zhenzi had already spoken with a smile.

He had come to Evergreen Peak earlier, but was told by Liu Mu and others that Chen Changqing had gone to see the Sect Master.

Therefore, Jian Zhenzi waited temporarily inside Evergreen Peak.

Upon learning of Jian Zhenzi's arrival, Ran Hua and the others all went to meet him, hoping to make his acquaintance.

It should be noted that Jian Zhenzi and Chen Changqing are from the same school, and as disciples of Evergreen Peak, they naturally need to maintain a good relationship with him.

Besides, before this Holy Son Grand Competition was held, Jian Zhenzi was the First Sequence Holy Son of the Mount Shu Inner Sect.

Everyone was naturally eager to witness Jian Zhenzi's prowess.

Chen Changqing nodded, looking curious, and said:

"Senior Brother, what brings you here?"

"Is he going on another trip?"

Chen Changqing knew his eldest brother well; he was a restless fellow who loved to travel.

Even in Secret Realms like the Blood Moon World, the legend of Jian Zhenzi remains.

Upon hearing Chen Changqing's question, Jian Zhenzi smiled faintly and said:

"Junior Brother, I've come to see you today because I have something I want to tell you."
