"Master, revered master..."
The tall, thin young man lowered his head in shame, his face flushed red.
"Well..."
The Sect Master Guangwang sighed, sounding rather disappointed:
"All these years, you've been desperately chasing the Third Divine Realm, like you've gone mad or been possessed by a demon."
"I haven't explicitly told you this because I hoped you could wake up on your own and become more grounded. This is also a test for you."
The tall, thin young man lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice:
"I'm sorry, I've disappointed my master..."
"I wouldn't say I'm disappointed."
The Sect Master Guangwang shook his head and slowly said:
"After all, our Guangwang Sect has not yet fully explored the conditions for achieving the Third Divine Realm."
"Incomplete conditions mean uncertainty, especially for a peerless genius like you. No one can say there's absolutely no hope."
"You've managed to stay true to yourself for so many years, which is quite an achievement."
"If the conditions are clear, and you don't meet them at all, yet you still stubbornly refuse to see the truth, then you are truly beyond redemption."
He paused at this point, his expression solemn:
"But what truly disappointed me today, and what prompted my reprimand, was your attitude towards that young master."
You need to understand your own position, recognize the gap, and accept reality.
"We have no idea about that young master's temperament and personality."
"With your attitude and tone, if you accidentally anger this person, they only need to give an order, and hundreds or even thousands of Emperor Venerable will immediately break through the boundary and attack, razing my Guangwang Sect to the ground in an instant," Miaomiao said.
"What will my Guangwang Sect use to defend itself then? Your rotten mouth?"
Upon hearing this, the tall, thin young man gritted his teeth and said in a low voice:
"Master, I understand."
I won't make this mistake again!
"Um."
Sect Master Guangwang nodded slightly, then suddenly changed the subject:
"Since you say you understand, then I'll test you."
"What do you think our Guangwang Sect should do to gain some benefits from this Crown Prince?"
"Ah?"
The tall, thin young man paused, somewhat puzzled:
"Gain benefits?"
"Master, you... you weren't going to give him a bribe? Why...?"
The Sect Master Guangwang tapped the table and said in a deep voice:
"I'm testing you now, not asking you questions."
"This..."
The tall, thin young man pondered for a moment, then cautiously replied:
"I think we should start by exploring the mysteries of the Third Divine Realm."
"Since this young master is pursuing the ' Great Dao Crystal,' he must know all the conditions for achieving the Third Divine Realm."
"Furthermore, the method for achieving the Third Divine Realm is a secret, and while it might be replicable, its value is relatively low, making it less likely to arouse his resentment..."
"Good!"
Upon hearing this, the Sect Master Guangwang smiled and said with satisfaction:
"It seems you've finally improved."
He paused for a moment, then said earnestly:
"Remember, we cannot use this demand as a condition for exchange."
"If he becomes dissatisfied, we simply cannot afford the consequences, so we cannot take even the slightest risk."
"We must find ways to please him and serve him, and once he's in a good mood, we can subtly hint at it."
Upon hearing this, the young man suddenly realized and said:
"No wonder... no wonder you, Master, went against all odds and insisted on giving him the Dao marker of the ' Land of the Ruins of Return '."
"Right."
Sect Master Guangwang nodded and said:
"The fact that this young master would even come to the Guangwang Sect is already an honor for us."
"If you make this deal, won't he think we're ungrateful and don't appreciate our kindness?"
"Compared to that prince, you and I are not much different; we are both ants, just a matter of size."
"You must always remember, when dealing with important people, you must be extremely cautious, even walking on thin ice isn't enough!"
The young man nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice:
"Master, I understand, but..."
He paused slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes:
"You've never told me about your early life, or about these things before."
"Why did you suddenly tell me so much today? I feel like it's not just because of that young master..."
Upon hearing this, Sect Master Guangwang smiled but did not answer, instead changing the subject:
"Judging by the time, the Crown Prince will arrive in a few days."
"When the time comes, you'll come with me to greet them, and you'll observe how I handle it."
"Watch carefully and learn diligently!"
Upon hearing this, the tall, thin young man could only lower his head and say:
"... yes."
Several days later.
Inside the super teleportation array at the mountain gate of the Guangwang Sect.
"Boom!"
As the towering pillar of light slowly dissipated, the intense spatial fluctuations gradually subsided.
"Call..."
Chen Qingyu shook his head and exhaled a breath of stale air:
"We've finally arrived at the Guangwang Sect."
The distance from the Boundless Sea to the northwestern part of the Southern Continent is simply too far.
Along the way, he used dozens of super teleportation arrays, constantly "relaying" the way, before finally arriving at the Guangwang Sect.
Of course:
Part of the reason was that the forces that built the super teleportation array back then had long heard that he was coming, and they were all eager to please him, hosting banquets and giving gifts, which really wasted a lot of time.
But since they were the hosts and had been waiting for him for a long time, he couldn't just refuse them any face.
"Fortunately, the journey is over..."
Chen Qingyu stepped out of the super teleportation array and looked around.
"Young Palace Master!"
Not far away, dozens of streaks of light that had been waiting there flew over, each with a vast aura, clearly Emperor Venerable of the Realm of Creation.
As one of the overlords of the Southern Continent, the Guangwang Sect is naturally very powerful. Its sect leader is Emperor Venerable Peak- level overlord who is awe-inspiring throughout the Chuanming Dao Domain.
" The Guangwang Sect warmly welcomes the Young Palace Master!"
Led by the Sect Master Guangwang, dozens of Emperor Venerable stepped forward to pay their respects.
Please rise, everyone.
Chen Qingyu nodded slightly and raised his hand in acknowledgment.
"Young Palace Master."
The Sect Master Guangwang stepped forward, a broad smile on his chubby face, and said:
"I am Chen Qiujian, and I am honored to be the current Guangwang Sect."
"The arrival of the young palace master at my Guangwang Sect is a great joy and a delight to me. It will be a significant event that will be recorded in history on my tombstone after my death."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu chuckled and said:
"The sect leader's words are quite interesting."
"Young Palace Master..."
The Sect Master Guangwang smiled slightly, took out a square brocade box from his sleeve, and presented it with both hands:
"A small gift, please accept it as a token of my appreciation."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu smiled, casually took the item, and prepared to put it away.
As the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face. Having just arrived at the Guangwang Sect, it wouldn't be right to refuse even a small gift.
"Um?"
But the moment he got his hands on the brocade box, his expression suddenly changed. He looked at the box and reached out to open it.
Inside the brocade box:
A gray-black, broken metal fragment lay quietly on the red silk.
An unusual aura emanated from the metal fragments, giving the impression that they did not belong to this world, but rather came from another.
"Road sign?!"
He blurted it out, then looked up at the chubby Sect Master Guangwang, gave him a deep look, and slowly said:
" Sect Master Guangwang."
"This is no small gift..."
You provided the starting sign-in rewards for the legendary Zhuang Shisan, featuring Chen Qingyu from the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Transformations Zhuang Shisan.
