Kang Cangzi spat softly, then said gently to Xu Taiping:
"Young friend Taiping, the edict I left in the Muhe Spirit Field will allow you and your companions to remain there for at least three to five years."
"After those three to five years, you will have to find a way to leave. Otherwise, the powerful evil demons within the secret realm will attack you."
Xu Taiping immediately nodded and thanked him:
"Thank you for the reminder, Upper Immortal."
Kang Cangzi laughed heartily.
"Of course, if you are willing to take part in this Chaotic Stars Assembly, you can begin slaying demons directly from the Muhe Spirit Field when the Chaotic Stars Demon-Slaying Assembly begins in three years."
Xu Taiping's heart stirred, and excitement filled his eyes as he said:
"The Chaotic Stars Assembly will be held in the Kunlun Ruins. In that case, I can familiarize myself with it before the fighting begins."
Suddenly, Kang Cangzi continued:
"Young friend Taiping, may you ascend to a Half-Immortal Seat soon. I shall await you in the Heaven-Treading Contest."
With that, a boom rang out, and Kang Cangzi vanished on the spot.
Ping'an and Old Daoist Huang immediately hurried over to Xu Taiping.
With worry written all over his face, Ping'an asked:
"Eldest Brother, how are your injuries?"
Xu Taiping shook his head.
"I merely expended some origin magic power."
Only then did Ping'an finally relax.
Old Daoist Huang said to Xu Taiping with some concern:
"Taiping, although Fengdu Prefecture has treated us well, we must not let down our guard against others. We had best head to the Muhe Spirit Field now."
Blade Ghost nodded as well.
"Even if Fengdu Prefecture is willing to shelter you now, cultivators outside who covet your fortuitous opportunities will keep coming in an endless stream."
