When the East Is Dark, the West Is Bright

"Law Contemplation Gathering?"

After listening to Lu Changzhi's explanation, Xiao Ye hesitated slightly and said:

"Master, this Law Contemplation Gathering is organized by a major power in Central Province. If we participate, and something happens that causes unnecessary trouble, it might violate the sect's ancestral precepts..."

His first thought was about the system's task.

But on second thought, it didn't seem quite right.

According to the information he had gathered, the Central Province were far superior to the Land of the Four Directions.

The system astonished everyone, but once he reached this level, he might really suffer the consequences of his senior brother's warning. "Showing off will get him struck by lightning."

In addition, there is another consideration: whether it can achieve the goal of shocking the masses.

However, it is relatively less important.

After so much time has passed, he knows very well where his strengths lie.

Studying is like observing; comprehending is like looking.

Although he may not be as good as his master and fellow disciples, he should still have certain advantages over ordinary cultivators, otherwise he wouldn't have been chosen by his master.

"There's no need to worry about any of that."

Lu Changzhi smiled and said:

"All you need to think about is whether you're willing or not."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye stopped hesitating and nodded decisively:

"Reporting to Master, Xiao Ye is willing."

He had tried the system's tasks several times during this period, but all attempts failed.

This matter is now the most likely one to be missed.

I should complete this task as soon as possible so that I can improve my strength faster.

Hidden Origin Peak is no ordinary place. If you don't work hard every day after entering this peak, you will definitely fall behind.

"Good."

Lu Changzhi nodded. "The matter is settled then."

Approximately two days later.

The message about the Dao Contemplation Gathering was then presented in the Capital Guest Token.

Unlike previous messages that were tiered and required payment of Heavenly Treasure Points, information about the Dao Contemplation Gathering was entirely free.

Everyone who owns Heavenly Treasure Pavilion will know about this.

Moreover, compared to ordinary news, this news was presented in a much more obvious and eye-catching manner.

According to information obtained from Sun Yi, the Myriad Laws Academy must have expended an enormous amount of resources to ensure that this message was disseminated as widely as possible.

The purpose, in essence, is to make it known to everyone.

"In that case, finding out this information is quite easy."

After a moment's thought, Lu Changzhi opened the system panel and took a look.

He glanced at Qin Jiuxiao's side.

"Is there nothing there?"

Lu Changzhi was somewhat surprised.

If the system has a two-week timeframe, it should display something.

But now, at a glance, it is completely empty.

"Is it because they haven't heard about this news yet?"

Without dwelling on it any longer, Lu Changzhi looked away.

Soon, Lu Changzhi's expression shifted slightly.

When one door closes, another opens; Luo Zhen unexpectedly found himself in a fortunate situation.

"That's truly a rare thing."

Lu Changzhi spoke softly, his voice tinged with a hint of melancholy.

After all, Luo Zhen's situation is somewhat special; his growth is mostly due to his own strength, not luck.

Compared to Qin Jiuxiao and Qin Han, Luo Zhen's opportunities were pitiful.

However, after glancing at the contents of this opportunity, Lu Changzhi's expression became somewhat strange.

Thirteen days later, due to his innate talent, he was blessed with good Fortune Upon the Body, greatly enhancing his ability and severity to cause calamities. His own aptitude and strength were significantly improved, and the influence of the Lone Star shone as brightly as the stars.

"At this time, what kind of person or force has been wreaked havoc to cause such a change?"

Lu Changzhi found it utterly unbelievable.

The benefits received were so numerous that they all became opportunities.

However, from Luo Zhen's perspective, such a change can indeed be described as an opportunity. The stronger one's talent and influence, the more benefits one receives and the faster one grows.

"The timing is quite similar. Could it be that it happened at the Myriad Laws Academy?"

There are speculations, but no way to confirm them.

Lu Changzhi did not dwell on this matter too much.

This opportunity is not to be taken lightly. Now that I know all this, I should stay away from Luo Zhen.

Lu Changzhi shifted his attention from Luo Zhen and glanced at Qin Han again.

"So there isn't one either?"

Lu Changzhi shook his head.

Based on his understanding of opportunities, this is probably not because he hasn't understood them yet.

Rather, it simply doesn't exist.

"That's true, it's quite rare for such insightful understanding to come from any specific opportunity."

With this thought in mind, Lu Changzhi stopped dwelling on it.

If it exists, take it; if it doesn't, then it doesn't exist.

South Island Domain.

On the speeding airship.

Mo Gen looked panicked, frequently glancing back at the empty space behind him, his fear clearly visible to the naked eye.

Inside the flying boat, a figure covered in blood lay on the ground.

Judging from Mo Gen's aura, it was clear that he seemed to have suffered a significant impact, appearing somewhat weak. Several open wounds could be vaguely seen on his pale body, with blood seeping out.

The speed of the airship was pushed to its limit.

Therefore, they dared not slow down in the slightest.

This flight took almost a whole day.

Finally, at the bottom of a deep cliff, the flying boat stopped. Mo Gen took Qin Jiuxiao down and brought him into the cave, carefully hiding him before finally letting out a long sigh of relief.

After glancing at Qin Jiuxiao, Mo Gen Mo Gen took out a jade bottle, put the pill into his mouth, and then sat down to recover.

After an unknown amount of time, an extremely weak voice, like a groan, rang out:

"Am I... am I dead?"

The one who made that sound was none other than Qin Jiuxiao, who was on the ground.

As his voice faded, the Mo Gen beside him lit up, illuminating the previously dark cave.

"Junior Brother Qin."

Mo Gen looked over, took a deep breath, and said:

"What exactly did you say to Master?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Jiuxiao, who was lying on the ground, twitched his eyelids, as if he wanted to open them but failed.

His throat bobbed, he remained silent for a few breaths, and finally said:

"Master has changed. He's not the same person he used to be. Perhaps he's been possessed."

Mo Gen didn't speak, but took a deep breath and sighed:

"You should heal your wounds first."

The atmosphere was extremely oppressive. Qin Jiuxiao wanted to sigh, but his chest ached as if it were being torn apart, making it impossible for him to do so.

But what is even more painful than physical pain is mental pain.

My master has changed completely; what once excited him now nearly cost him his life.

He still nearly died at the hands of his master.

As for what he said, it was nothing more than the same things the two of them had said to each other many times before.

However, his master's reaction this time was truly unexpected.

The current outcome is completely opposite to the initial goal.

Last time, the master claimed he would expel them from the sect after the Holy Water.

But ultimately, they did nothing wrong, so their sudden expulsion from the sect seemed unreasonable.

After much deliberation, the four concluded that it was likely just a momentary outburst of anger from their master.

As for the reason, it's very likely that the Holy Water situation might have made Master feel somewhat unbalanced.

But that's understandable.

So the four of them decided to go see their master again some time later, which was not long ago, to see if the previous decision to expel them from the sect was really just a joke.
