At His Age, He Ended Up Being Beaten Like a Grandson

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi looked over and smiled:

"It seems the sect leader knows absolutely nothing about it."

Cang Wenyu shook his head and gestured to the storage ring in his hand:

"To be able to casually offer you such resources, that level of expertise is naturally beyond my reach."

Lu Changzhi remained silent for a moment.

They respond to themselves with their own lies.

This is surprisingly difficult to refute.

Shaking his head, Lu Changzhi asked:

"Then I'll have to wait until I reach the Saint Realm to find out?"

Cang Wenyu nodded. "The Ancestor must have made this rule for some reason."

Lu Changzhi nodded:

"That's alright."

After all, he had already Transcendent Realm.

Cang Wenyu observed Lu Changzhi, his expression slightly changing, and tentatively asked:

"Changzhi, you wouldn't have already...?"

"No, that won't happen." Lu Changzhi waved his hand with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Cang Wenyu breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, a year ago, Lu Changzhi hadn't even started cultivating.

That would mean they've already reached the Saint Realm.

That's absolutely ridiculous.

After chatting for a while longer, Cang Wenyu got up and left.

Lu Changzhi sat back down.

After a moment of confusion, Lu Changzhi opened the system.

Several days have passed in the blink of an eye; it's time to check on the Disciple Trial.

"Activating the disciple-exclusive trial requires 14,000 experience points. Purchase now?"

Faced with the system's inquiry, Lu Changzhi pondered for a moment.

"Buy."

As soon as the sound faded, the experience points jumped.

Then, the system voice sounded:

"Purchase successful. The trial participant has been automatically selected as disciple Qin Li. The system is currently screening for a suitable trial task. This will take some time, please be patient."

After that, there was no further movement.

"System?"

Lu Changzhi called out:

"How long will it take approximately?"

"Reporting to Master, it will likely take a few days."

"A few days?"

Lu Changzhi gently shook his head:

"I wish I had bought it sooner."

Given the current situation, we have to continue waiting.

However, it doesn't matter.

Inside the ruins.

Mu Fan left Chen Fangyuan's inherited city.

When he reached high altitude, he lowered his head and looked down, with some emotion on his face.

"The art of formations is quite profound and complex, but..."

Mu Fan gently shook his head and silently thought to himself:

"It would be even better if the system came to life."

The upgrade has taken so long, which is truly unexpected.

Putting his thoughts aside, Mu Fan took another look at the Chen Fangyuan ruins below.

As if thinking of something, after a short while, he looked up and glanced around, murmuring softly:

"The more experience you have, the more correct your initial strategy seems."

This other world is indeed a place where there are always people more capable than you, and geniuses are always in awe of others.

He learned some things from Chen Fangyuan's teachings.

The Land of the Four Directions is not boundless; at its Land of the Four Directions, there are hidden barriers that make it impossible for people to cross.

Back then, Chen Fangyuan tried to break through the barriers, but to no avail.

It's not that he lacks ability.

Instead, as soon as he tried it, he encountered a group of people who gave him a good beating and warned him not to do anything he shouldn't and not to cause trouble.

Therefore, Chen Fangyuan gave specific instructions.

Even after breaking through to the Saint King, one must remain low-key.

Because at least half of those people were Saint King.

More importantly, those people are in cahoots!

What's even more frightening is that we still don't know which faction this group belongs to.

In short, this experience broadened his horizons.

The water in this Land of the Four Directions is very deep.

And it's very likely related to some big secret.

Of course, he didn't dare to investigate.

Life didn't smooth out his rough edges, but that group of people beat him like a ball.

From body refinement to Saint King, a long period of time has passed, and I've grown quite old.

In the end, they were beaten like dirt.

A complete and utter defeat.

Well.

Ironically, after the fight, someone on the other side even gave him some pointers.

It benefited him greatly.

The result is...

I feel like I suffered a loss, but I also received guidance.

On the one hand, they didn't suffer any losses; on the other hand, they got a severe beating.

The related content ends with the phrase "keep a low profile".

The poignant account lingered in Mu Fan's memory.

His attention was drawn back, Mu Fan's eyes flickered slightly:

"Was there a master among those who ganged up on Chen Fangyuan back then?"

After a moment's thought, Mu Fan shook his head.

It's not that it's impossible, but rather that it's highly unlikely.

This is clearly not in line with Master's style of conduct.

On the contrary, the reason why there is such a barrier is perhaps what Master did.

Who knows, Master came to this place to strategize something, using the world as a chessboard.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore."

Shaking his head, Mu Fan counted on his fingers:

"In three more days, I'll be able to go to Master for another infusion."

Although it felt strange at first, looking back, I have to say it was awesome.

The speed at which one can improve their cultivation level by simply idling is negligible compared to the improvement gained through the master's infusion of spiritual power.

Everyone who's tried it says it's great!

In the blink of an eye, another two days have passed.

In the past two days, another piece of news has spread.

The news first spread among the forces near the Southern Region.

Within the territory of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, a secluded secret realm has been discovered. It is said that the spiritual energy within the realm is extremely concentrated, and it was once used by predecessors to test their descendants.

The Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty wishes to invite the most talented young people in the world to explore this secret realm together, providing a training ground for them and offering some treasures as rewards.

This news immediately sparked heated discussions from all sides.

After all, for a behemoth like the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, which occupies a region, inviting all sides is no small matter.

Furthermore, given their immense power, what kind of reward would they offer?

"The Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty has actually made a move. As expected of a behemoth, they are willing to offer up a secret realm for all parties to explore."

"What's so strange about that? The Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty has such a vast territory, how could it lack secret realms? Besides, if there's no prize involved, just fighting amongst themselves won't attract many people."

"Your focus is still misplaced. Previously, everyone was discussing matters of great fortune, but now, the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty is inviting younger generations from all sides. Its purpose is crystal clear."

As the sound faded, everyone around was startled:

"In that case, the theory of destiny might actually be true."

"Yes, the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty's move is likely intended to highlight their genius and gain favor from the heavens."

Only when many stars surround the moon can it stand out even more.

Many people understand this principle.

In fact, many forces are doing similar things.

Geniuses need to be highlighted.

However, this is the first time that a powerful force like the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty has hosted such a event.

"We all understand, and the other major powers can't possibly be unaware," someone said softly, glancing towards the other domains.

"I think they are very likely not to miss such an opportunity, nor can they sit idly by and let the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty become so powerful."

"Yes," another person next to him nodded.

"However, it is said that invitations have already been sent to various forces, and it is unknown whether major powers such as the Extreme Arms Holy Land and the Buddhist Order will respond."

"If they participate, it will be quite a spectacle! This is the first time such a grand gathering of geniuses has been held in the Land of the Four Directions; it will surely be a fierce battle!"
