Expectations Too Low? Aiming for the Championship!

Meanwhile, outside the third cave abode halfway up Evergreen Peak, an old man stood.

The old man was none other than Mo Yuan, who possessed the cultivation level of Title True Lord.

"Young Master is truly extraordinary!"

Mo Yuan had witnessed Chen Changqing's growth firsthand.

After Chen Changqing overcame the Heavenly Question Chess Game, he received the inheritance of the Old Man Heavenly Question, the Immortal Artifact Immortal-Burying Zither, and the accompanying Cultivation Method Immortal-Burying Melody.

After that, Mo Yuan, who was Old Man Heavenly Question's servant, returned to Changqing Evergreen Peak of Mount Shu with Chen Changqing.

What puzzled Mo Yuan was...

Chen Changqing never spent time cultivating, yet his cultivation level continued to increase by leaps and bounds.

Mo Yuan originally thought that Chen Changqing was lazy in public but hardworking in private.

But it was only later discovered that laziness was Chen Changqing's true nature.

After thinking for a moment, Mo Yuan took a deep breath and couldn't help but sigh:

"I have cultivated for countless years, and I have never encountered anyone like the young master!"

"Perhaps it's unparalleled throughout the ages?"

At this juncture, Chen Changqing was present.

"Call out!"

A whooshing sound rang out.

"Um?"

Chen Changqing, who was lying on the grass, slowly opened his eyes after sensing it.

Upon closer inspection, they saw an old man standing not far away.

The person who arrived was none other than Mo Tianji.

"Elder Mo?"

Upon seeing Mo Tianji arrive, Chen Changqing was slightly surprised, and quickly stood up and bowed in greeting.

Mo Tianji remained calm, glancing indifferently at Chen Changqing and saying:

Let's go!

Your master wants you to go to Seven Stars Peak.

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing was secretly taken aback.

"Master?"

"You want me to go to Seven Stars Peak at this time?"

"It must be for the Seven Peaks Grand Competition tomorrow!"

After a moment's thought, Chen Changqing came to his senses and, without further ado, left with Mo Tianji.

Soon, the two arrived at the Headmaster's Hall of the Seven Stars Peak.

At this moment, Chen Yuan stood with his hands behind his back on the Cloud Platform, watching the clouds drift and the breeze gently caress him.

"Disciple greets Master!"

Chen Changqing stepped forward and bowed deeply to Chen Yuan.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan slowly turned around and said calmly:

"My disciple, you've come!"

Chen Changqing nodded slightly and uttered a soft question:

"I wonder why Master has summoned his disciple here at this time?"

Chen Yuan smiled slightly and said:

"It's nothing, just chatting with you!"

"By the way, tomorrow is the Seven Peaks Grand Competition of our Shu Mountain Sacred Land. Are you confident?"

Upon hearing Chen Yuan's question, Chen Changqing nodded without hesitation and said:

"Rest assured, Master!"

"This disciple will do his utmost to live up to the master's kindness and the name of Seven Stars Peak."

Seeing Chen Changqing's confident demeanor, a strange glint flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes, and he said earnestly:

"Changqing."

"This Seven Peaks Grand Competition has gathered the Peak Scion of the Seven Peaks, as well as the most elite disciples from each peak."

"The competition is far more intense than the previous Holy Son Grand Competition."

"Besides..."

At this point, Chen Yuan paused slightly, then added with a serious expression:

"This competition is also related to the future Sect Master Successor of the Shu Mountain Sacred Land."

"This is not merely a contest of strength, but also a matter of who will hold power and what will become of Mount Shu for the next few hundred to a thousand years!"

"Therefore... I hope you will take this seriously!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing nodded and said:

"Yes, Master!"

Seeing this, Chen Yuan's serious expression softened slightly, and he smiled and said:

"Of course, the competition is important, but safety comes first!"

"With your abilities, if you can break into the top ten in this competition, it will be enough to shake Mount Shu, and then your master... will be at ease."

Upon hearing Chen Yuan's words, Chen Changqing was secretly taken aback.

"Top ten?"

He gave a quiet, bitter laugh, thinking that Chen Yuan's expectations of him were far too low.

After all, Chen Changqing himself was aiming for first place in the competition.

After a moment of distraction, Chen Changqing quickly snapped back to reality and said calmly:

"Disciple understands!"

Then, Chen Yuan waved his hand and said:

"Okay, that's all. You may leave now!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing did not linger. He bowed to Chen Yuan and Mo Tianji before leaving on his own.

After Chen Changqing left, Mo Tianji spoke:

"Sect Master."

"This Seven Peaks Grand Competition will not only include participants from the Seven Main Peaks Peak Scion, but also the elites from each peak."

"Although Changqing is quite strong, he still seems to be somewhat lacking compared to the Peak Scion of the various peaks."

"I want to break into the top ten..."

At this point, Mo Tianji paused.

Although Chen Changqing's rise in the Shu Mountain Sacred Land was faster than imagined, the Peak Scion of the Seven Main Peaks were all outstanding individuals.

Especially in recent months, the Peak Scion of each peak have collectively experienced a major breakthrough, embarking on a final sprint, with their cultivation levels advancing by leaps and bounds and their strength greatly increased!

In Mo Tianji's view, Chen Changqing was only at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Even with a celestial artifact, he was not necessarily a match for the masters of the major peaks.

Making it into the top ten of the competition is known to be difficult.

Upon hearing Mo Tianji's words, Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled meaningfully, and then said:

"Elder Mo, haven't you noticed that my little disciple loves to create miracles?"

"Actually, deep down, I still have high expectations for him."

"Even..."

At this point, Chen Yuan paused before adding:

"I hope he can compete for the Champion in the Seven Peaks Grand Competition!"

"If I can do that, I'll be at ease."

As soon as Chen Yuan uttered these words, Mo Tianji was immediately shaken, his face filled with disbelief.

"What?"

"The Grand Champion?"

He couldn't help but gasp in shock, utterly stunned by Chen Yuan's words.

After all, in Mo Tianji's view, it would be difficult for Chen Changqing to even make it into the top ten of the Seven Peaks Grand Competition, let alone win first place.

Seeing Mo Tianji's surprise, Chen Yuan remained calm and smiled faintly:

"How?"

"Elder Mo, do you really think there's no such possibility?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Tianji smiled bitterly and replied:

"No, it's just... the possibility seems extremely slim."

Chen Yuan didn't argue with Mo Tianji's words, but only said with a meaningful look:

"The Seven Peaks Grand Competition will begin tomorrow; the results will then be clear!"

On the other side, after leaving Seven Stars Peak, Chen Changqing went straight back to Evergreen Peak.

"Unexpectedly, this Seven Peaks Grand Competition is also related to the succession of the next leader of the Mount Shu Sect Master."

"I suppose only those who win first place in the grand competition are qualified to become candidates for Sect Master?"

"My master's expectation for me is only to be in the top ten of the competition. If that's the case, then the Peak Scion of each peak must be quite strong."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Changqing composed himself.

In his view, even if the Peak Scion of the Seven Main Peaks are all very strong, at most they are beings who Tribulation Transcendence.

Although he only has the cultivation level of the Late Spirit Transformation, with the support of various methods, his strength is already comparable to that of Tribulation Transcendence.
