"Perhaps not just that." Amassing wealth might only have been an incidental benefit. Huang Qixuan's true purpose was likely something else, but he knew too little to discern what secret lay hidden behind it all. "But it doesn't matter if we don't know. Just as Chen Zui said, as long as one is strong enough, every scheme is useless."
To the Wen Xu of the past, those words would have sounded like utter bullshit. But this was no longer the Mortal Realm. In the Cultivation Realm, strength reigned supreme. Without enough strength, even a thousand or eight hundred such schemes would be useless.
"Exactly!" Bian Chunchou rather liked this slightly proud yet even-tempered Wen Xu-Xu. He felt that Wen Xu-Xu had changed greatly since returning from the Mortal Realm, but the change was truly delightful. "We'll defeat him openly and fairly. Whether it's the Shu Household head or someone else who breaks Chen Zui-Zui's nine-win streak, we'll just fight them again."
Even if they lost, it would still be valuable experience. Bian Chunchou thought it over carefully. Though Chen Zui-Zui looked utterly dejected, there was not the slightest trace of defeat on him. Clearly, that fellow's fighting spirit was burning fiercely.
Losing was not frightening. Just fight back.
Just as the three of them, brimming with fighting spirit, prepared to battle on the Cloud Platform again, the Bright Moon Secret Realm suddenly opened without warning.
Pingshui City was a city of water. On a late-autumn night, dense fog shrouded the water's surface. A fisherman had been casting his nets at night when he discovered that his fishing net had inexplicably shifted locations. He poled his boat about as he searched several times, yet could not find it anywhere. Only then did he realize that he had entered another world.
