Our trip to this Blessed Land has now come to an end.

After Li Fuchan was guided into the Grotto Heaven, True Lord Chi Sui was sitting in the Daoist Temple, with Wei Xinyun, still in light armor, standing by his side with her hand on her sword.

He stepped forward and bowed respectfully. "True Lord."

The young True Lord nodded slightly, his gaze falling on his face, his tone carrying a rare hint of approval. "You've certainly impressed me on this trip to the Blessed Land."

Li Fuchan lowered his head and said respectfully, "I am willing to die for Azure Ram Temple."

Wei Xinyun stood beside True Lord, her eyes fixed on the young man's behavior below, her expression growing increasingly complex.

When she first met him, she felt that he was quiet and cautious, like a lurking snake, with a cold and sinister aura about him.

Later, I learned from the True Lord that Li Fuchan was an Overseas cultivator from the Western Sea. What kind of place is the Western Sea? It goes without saying. How many cultivators who can break out from there can be considered good people?

But he was someone who had never Blood-Consuming Cultivation or eaten people before. It seemed that there was no one in the world who could conceal such Blood-Consuming Cultivation thing from their own True Lord. This made Wei Xinyun somewhat unsure of what was going on.

In this world, some people Blood-Consuming Cultivation and eat people, either because their Dao Path is difficult and they cannot move forward without external help; or because demonic thoughts invade their hearts and they are greedy by nature, using flesh and blood as Pill Material and regarding living beings as fuel; or because they are forced by their clans and burdened by their families, they cannot stand without eating people and cannot continue without drinking blood.

Although these people are wicked, they are the norm in this world.

Some people Blood-Consuming Cultivation, do not eat people, maintain upright conduct, and uphold benevolence. Others uphold Ancient Era traditions, adhere to the precepts of pure cultivation, and would rather break their Dao Path than lose their lives; some are blessed with exceptional talent and a long lineage of Dharma, and are self-sufficient without relying on external things; others have clear minds, are not invaded by demonic thoughts, regard greed as filth, and take purity as their foundation. Although such people are few, they are the norm in the world.

But there shouldn't be someone who possesses both qualities.

How could someone who is inherently driven by profit and treacherous possibly refrain from Blood-Consuming Cultivation to cultivate themselves?

Later, on the Moon-Resting Terrace, she saw Li Fuchan wielding the Autumn Moon Joining Frost, the moonlight shining brightly, his clothes covered in frost and snow. She then felt that besides his deeply hidden ruthlessness, this person also possessed a transcendent, otherworldly air.

My opinion of him changed slightly after that.

Then comes the period of Human-Reversal Blessed Land, where the person's actions become increasingly unpredictable.

Especially at the end, he actually broke through the True Lord's Edict to go back and save a complete stranger without hesitation.

Perhaps they know each other, but so what?

Such a profit-driven person, willing to risk his life for others, hadn't he considered that the True Lord might abandon him? So Wei Xinyun felt that this person might be a good person, at least possessing some heroic spirit. Now, looking down at the young man bowing to the True Lord, clearly displaying a respectful demeanor, she still felt it was too fake.

True Lord Chi Sui Wei Xinyun didn't have such complex thoughts. He simply looked at Li Fuchan and went straight to the point. "You cultivate Lesser Yin, but you have another fortuitous opportunity. You still possess a Spirit Artifact of the Contrary Thunder Dao. Now, the Great True Lord of Welcome Ying Isle has spoken up and is asking you for this item."

Hearing what True Lord Chi Sui said, Li Fuchan was not surprised at all. Since he dared to use the Divine Contrary Thunder Spirit Artifact openly in the Blessed Land, he had already prepared for True Lord Chi Sui to take the Spirit Artifact away.

The only thing that surprised him was that the one who actually took the item was Great True Lord from Welcome Ying Isle. However, this matter had already involved a power struggle at the Purple Mansion Level, and with the information he currently had, thinking about it further would be futile. He immediately took out the "Errant Thunder Drum" from his Storage Bag and presented it above his head with both hands. "Thank you for your protection, True Lord." True Lord Chi Sui Chuan raised his hand and took the drum into his palm, releasing his Law Power to sense it for a moment, a rare look of novelty appearing in his eyes. "The hidden power of the Contrary Thunder is the first time I have ever seen a Spirit Artifact of the Contrary Thunder Dao appear in the world."

He put away the "Errant Thunder Drum" and looked at Li Fuchan again, "Now that you have accumulated two merits, have you decided what you want?"

Without hesitation, Li Fuchan bowed and said, "This junior is willing to become a disciple of Azure Ram Temple."

True Lord Chi Sui Zuo shook his head. Li Fuchan's heart sank slightly, and the next moment he heard True Lord Chi Sui say calmly, "Didn't you always have Xin Yun call you Senior Brother? How come you don't acknowledge yourself as a disciple of Azure Ram Temple now?"

Li Fuchan was taken aback upon hearing this, but then a heavy weight lifted from her heart, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally, we have shelter."

Seeing that his expression relaxed slightly, True Lord Chi Sui said, "It seems you haven't figured out what you want yet. How about I bestow one upon you?"

Li Fuchan naturally wouldn't dare to ask for anything. Since True Lord Chi Sui had said so, he must have already prepared it for him.

He bowed his head and clasped his hands, saying, "This disciple humbly accepts the True Lord's gift."

True Lord Chi Sui smiled and said, "This story ended rather abruptly because of you. Since you have made such a great contribution, you should be allowed to go and see it again."

Li Fuchan was taken aback, unable to discern the meaning behind True Lord Chi Sui's words for a moment. He couldn't help but think to himself, "Does True Lord intend to throw me back to the Human-Reversal Blessed Land? But the Human-Reversal Blessed Land is already in ruins. Even if I go back, what can I gain?"

Before he could even make sense of it, he saw that True Lord Chi Sui's hand had already placed on the ancient book on the stone table. The next moment, his eyes suddenly lost focus, and he Soundless fell into darkness.

As Wei Xinyun watched Li Fuchan disappear from sight, she couldn't help but ask, "Where did he go?"

True Lord Chi Sui said calmly, "Sending him there will bring him a fortuitous opportunity."

After learning of Li Fuchan's whereabouts, Wei Xinyun nodded, not wanting to ask any further questions. However, True Lord Chi Sui looked at her and asked, "Aren't you going to ask what kind of fortuitous opportunity it was?"

Before Wei Xinyun could answer, True Lord Chi Sui said, "This is a test to see if he is worthy of my help in achieving the Purple Mansion fortuitous opportunity."

Upon hearing True Lord Chi Sui's words, Wei Xinyun froze on the spot, and after a moment, she said, "True Lord, you..."

True Lord Chi Sui looked at her and said softly, "Since your grandfather passed away, no one has dared to call me by my name. Now I gradually believe that I have no relation to the Wei Clan. Only when I see the name on the broken sword in the Patriarch Hall do I remember that I am still surnamed Wei. Azure Ram Temple is the Azure Ram Temple of the Wei Clan, and the Wei Clan is also the Wei Clan of Azure Ram Temple. Stop doubting the path. Your talent is hard to say about reaching the Purple Mansion level. Let me see this person's true nature. If I can use him, I will help him achieve the Purple Mansion and protect Azure Ram Temple. If I cannot use him..."

True Lord Chi Sui.

Gently pick up the book on the table.

When the Great True Lord of Welcome Ying Isle left, he did not take it with him. He will return it along with the Contrary Thunder Spirit Artifact in the future.

At the same time, this book is the Human-Reversal Blessed Land itself, but for a long time, it has always been the Grotto Heaven that has been reading the book.

True Lord Chi Sui selected a page and slowly turned it.
