The Grand Competition Drew Near! Giving Up in Despair

At the same time, Shi Tian and the others also spoke up:

"That is!"

"With the Holy Son's strength, winning first place in the Seven Peaks Grand Competition would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?"

"I've heard that this Seven Peaks Grand Competition is also related to the candidates for the next Sect Leader."

"If we capture the Holy Son, he will become the Sect Master of our Shu Mountain Sacred Land!"

"..."

Just as everyone was lost in their own thoughts, Liu Mu's face darkened, and he solemnly said:

"Gentlemen, don't underestimate the Peak Scion of the Seven Peaks!"

As soon as Liu Mu uttered these words, everyone was stunned and turned to look at Liu Mu.

"Elder Liu Mu, Peak Scion of the Seven Peaks very powerful?"

Ran Hua asked aloud.

Liu Mu glanced at him slightly, nodded gently, and said:

"More than just impressive."

"The Peak Scion of these Seven Main Peaks are all home to exceptional individuals."

"In some ways, they are a level above the Holy Sons of Mount Shu!"

At this point, Liu Mu paused, glanced at Chen Changqing, and then continued:

"Holy Son, we must not let our guard down in this competition!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing smiled faintly and said:

"Don't worry, Elder Liu Mu!"

"I know what I'm doing regarding the competition."

Afterwards, everyone chatted with Chen Changqing for a while before leaving to devote themselves to their intense cultivation.

Chen Changqing didn't pay any attention to this and waited for the Seven Peaks Grand Competition to begin.

Time flies, and before we knew it, a month had passed.

In one more day, the Seven Peaks Grand Competition of Mount Shu will begin.

During this period, the atmosphere on the Seven Main Peaks of Mount Shu was tense, and the Peak Scion of each Main Peak were fully committed to the final sprint.

My only hope is to improve my strength as much as possible before the competition, so as to gain more advantages in the Seven Peaks Grand Competition.

Compared to the various Peak Scion, Chen Changqing represents the other extreme.

He didn't practice cultivation at all.

He spends his days swaggering around the Shu Mountain Sacred Land with his Little Black Dog, Wangcai!

If he doesn't go outside for a stroll, he either sleeps soundly or finds a quiet place to sunbathe.

These scenes should have been commonplace for the disciples of Mount Shu.

After all, they already knew Chen Changqing's style.

Long before Chen Changqing was accepted into Chen Yuan and became the Sect Master's Personal Disciple, more and more Mount Shu disciples began to pay attention to Chen Changqing.

From that time onward, many disciples of Mount Shu noticed that Chen Changqing never cultivated.

They're either walking the dog, taking a nap, or sunbathing.

In fact, many Mount Shu disciples felt that Chen Changqing had become arrogant after becoming the Sect Master's Personal Disciple!

Unexpectedly, Chen Changqing's cultivation level increased rapidly afterward.

This has aroused suspicion among many people.

I can't understand it. Chen Changqing doesn't cultivate, so how come his cultivation level increases so quickly?

Gradually, the disciples of the Shu Mountain Sacred Land lost interest in Chen Changqing's almost "laissez-faire" approach.

But at this critical juncture, they have once again drawn their attention to Chen Changqing.

What's going on?

"At this hour, Chen Changqing is still sunbathing, walking his dog, and taking a nap?"

"I heard that he and Lu Tian, Peak Scion of Seven Stars Peak, will also participate in this competition."

"Although Chen Changqing is indeed very strong, and even won first place in the previous Holy Son Grand Competition, that's all!"

"That's right, compared to Peak Scion, the Holy Son is undoubtedly much weaker."

"In my opinion, Chen Changqing is just there to make up the numbers. I think he knows this himself, so he's simply given up on himself!"

"..."

Many disciples of Mount Shu were discussing the matter, all of them scoffing at Chen Changqing's actions.

At this time, the Seven Stars Peak is located.

Headmaster's Hall, Chen Yuan and Mo Tianji stood side by side by the window.

Outside the window, clouds drifted by.

After a moment of silence, Mo Tianji frowned slightly and said in a deep voice:

"Sect Master, recently many disciples have had quite a few complaints about your young disciple!"

Hearing what Mo Tianji said, Chen Yuan gave a bitter smile.

He wasn't sure how to handle Chen Changqing, his Personal Disciple.

There was a time when he saw Chen Changqing being so lax and undisciplined in the Inner Sect of Mount Shu, and he had given him a word of advice.

However, seeing Chen Changqing's cultivation advance by leaps and bounds, he stopped asking Chen Changqing about his cultivation.

Chen Yuan had always had a big question in his mind.

Chen Changqing doesn't cultivate, so how did his cultivation level increase?

After a moment's thought, Chen Yuan came to his senses and said calmly:

"Elder Mo, there are quite a few strange things about this young disciple of mine."

"Although no one saw him cultivate, his cultivation level continued to improve."

"Moreover, the speed of improvement is frighteningly fast!"

"Now, he has even advanced to the Late Spirit Transformation realm!"

"Perhaps... this is something unique to him?"

After listening to what Chen Yuan said, Mo Tianji nodded in agreement, feeling quite curious about what had happened to Chen Changqing.

He even secretly monitored Chen Changqing from the inside.

Unfortunately, Chen Changqing's nonchalance and laziness were not feigned at all, which meant that Mo Tianji gained nothing!

After a moment of silence, Chen Yuan took a deep breath and then said:

"Elder Mo, I would like to trouble you to make a trip to Evergreen Peak and have my young disciple come to see me."

Upon hearing this, Mo Tianji nodded and, without hesitation, vanished.

Meanwhile, Evergreen Peak.

Chen Changqing was lying on the grass, lazily basking in the sun, with his Little Black Dog Wangcai lying beside him.

It must be said that they, master and servant, were a perfect match.

Chen Changqing possesses AFK System, so he doesn't need to worry about cultivation at all.

The Little Black Dog Wangcai looks like a dog, but it is actually a creature of the Heavenly Demon Tribe, born with the Devouring Talent.

He doesn't need to cultivate; as long as there's enough flesh and blood for him to devour, theoretically he can keep advancing indefinitely.

At this moment, on the mountainside of Evergreen Peak, three pairs of eyes were fixed on the direction where Chen Changqing was.

"The Seven Peaks Grand Competition is tomorrow!"

"He's still so relaxed?"

"Could it be true, as the rumors are circulating, that they have given up on this competition?"

Ji Changkong muttered to himself, his brows furrowed with doubt.

After the Holy Son Grand Competition, Chen Changqing won first place, and later Jian Zhenzi joined Evergreen Peak.

Ji Changkong then arrived at Evergreen Peak, expressing his willingness to join Chen Changqing's ranks.

Unlike Jian Zhenzi's pure intentions, Ji Changkong's joining Evergreen Peak was purposeful.

He really wanted to find out what secret Chen Changqing possessed that allowed his cultivation level to rise rapidly without him even practicing!

Unfortunately, Ji Changkong didn't notice anything amiss during his time at Evergreen Peak.

Not far from Ji Changkong's residence, Jian Zhenzi stood tall.

"Isn't junior brother a little too relaxed?"

"The Peak Scion of the other peaks are all trying their best to improve their strength, but he has actually..."

Thinking of this, Jian Zhenzi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
