Chapter 116: Chu Yuan’s Return Liu Pingfeng was so angry that his expression contorted. He had offered to marry the little princess and his own daughter to Ding Yue.

In the end, not only did the other party not appreciate his kindness, he even felt that he was harming him.

Was he a f*cking lunatic?

He must have cultivated the way of the sword to the point that his brain had become abnormal.

The others also had strange expressions on their faces. They had thought that Ding Yue would definitely join the Great Qian Dynasty.

After all, Liu Pingfeng’s offer was too generous.

Who would have thought that not only did the Great Qian Dynasty fail to pull him in, they even angered Ding Yue.

Han Yingmeng felt a little better and looked at Liu Pingfeng gloatingly.

Hmph! Who asked him to disparage her like that!

She looked at Ding Yue, and could not help but grit her teeth.

Chu Xuan rubbed his head and fell into a state of deep thought. Did his teachings cause Ding Yue to go astray?

This fellow was seemingly destined for eternal loneliness.

No, when he returned, Chu Xuan would try to deceive him again. He could not allow his disciple to live as a celibate.

Ding Yue had trampled on Nine Swords Mountain and rubbed their faces into the dirt.

Thanks to that, none of the other forces had any intention of finding trouble with Ding Yue.

No one wanted to become enemies with such a prodigy with boundless potential.

Moreover, they might not even be able to defeat him.

After the commotion, things finally quieted down.

Everyone was waiting for the opening of the Bai Sheng Mountain ruin.

Ding Yue occupied a mountain peak by himself and was in the limelight.

The Bai Sheng Mountain had not been opened yet, so the major factions began to discuss the quota for entry.

Not everyone had the qualifications to enter.

This was especially so for itinerant cultivators, who were almost all excluded unless they were strong enough.

It was naturally also difficult for small factions to obtain a spot.

Ding Yue did not participate in these discussions. Regardless of whether he was included or not, he could definitely enter.

No one could exclude him, or even stop him.

Be it Nine Swords Mountain, the Floating flower pavilion, or the Great Qian Dynasty, which were the three factions that had a direct conflict with Ding Yue, or any of the other factions, they all knew that Ding Yue alone was a large faction.

There was no way to exclude him.

Most of the unaffiliated cultivators were excluded, so there were some unaffiliated cultivators who wanted to obtain a spot by joining him.

In addition, since Ding Yue did not seem to like women, only men went

These itinerant cultivators encouraged Ding Yue to fight for a place and flattered him, saying that he could form his own large force since he had occupied a mountain.

Huh? Why did they think that he could not get a spot?

It was obvious that they looked down on him!

“Shut up!”

Ding Yue shouted angrily, “If you want a spot, go fight for it yourself. Get lost!”

“If you bother me again, I’ll kill you!”

Seeing Ding Yue get angry, the itinerant cultivators could only leave in embarrassment.

Ding Yue snorted coldly. He was not stupid. There was no way he would let them use him for their own benefit!

Chu Xuan did not continue paying attention to what was going on and deactivated the Heaven-spying Mirror. The real highlight would be when the Bai Sheng Mountain’s ruin was fully opened.

He had a feeling that Ding Yue had offended many experts.

He would definitely be surrounded and killed if they found the right opportunity to do so.

This was especially true for Nine Swords Mountain, who would never allow such a great calamity to continue brewing.

Although Ding Yue wanted to slap Nine Swords Mountain on the face and damage their reputation as revenge for expelling him, he did not want to destroy them or kill them.

However, the experts of Nine Swords Mountain would not think that way.

They were worried that Ding Yue would kill them all when he became stronger.

Chu Xuan told Bao Hongyan to keep an eye on Nine Swords Mountain’s movements. After giving her those instructions, he directed his attention elsewhere.

It would still take some time before the ruin fully opened.

There was no rush.

Chu Xuan activated the Myriad Heavenly Mirror and connected it to Ren Changhe.

Ren Changhe was only half a step away from breaking through to the Divine realm.

The day he broke through to the Divine realm, would be the day he escaped his predicament.

Chu Xuan was looking forward to the day Ren Changhe broke through to the Divine realm, and the cultivation boost reward he would receive.

He was getting closer and closer to the Divine realm.

He also gave Du Yuan some pointers and as well as a bottle of supreme realm cultivation pills. Then, he continued to make preparations for Su Xian’er breakthrough to the Emperor realm.

Su Xian’er breakthrough to the Emperor realm would be an extremely important milestone for her. He would probably be rewarded with a hundred years’ worth of cultivation, right?

Turning his attention to the World-cleansing Glazed Pagoda again, he noticed that Mo Tuo had almost been converted. It was lacking just that tiny bit.

Once Mo Tuo was converted, he would have a Buddhist disciple with a Heaven realm cultivation under his command.

Mo Tuo’s conversion was also a kind of opportunity for the demon.

At the very least, his soul would recover its Heaven realm cultivation, and he could even condense a physical body.

Converting Mo Tuo would likely also trigger the system’s reward.

Chu Xuan was full of anticipation.

Time flowed like water, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

The Bai Sheng Mountain ruin had not opened yet. It was much slower than expected.

The quotas of the major forces had already been determined.

During this time, a conflict had broken out.

A half-step emperor realm itinerant cultivator had led a dozen ninth-level truth realm experts and threatened the major forces to give up some of the entry quotas.

A short battle between half-step emperor realm cultivators then broke out.

The half-step emperor realm itinerant cultivator was injured, but they also received a few spots.

Su Xian’er had already left the pocket dimension and was in seclusion in the universe space, preparing to break through to the Emperor realm.

She was comprehending the laws of the Great Dao.

Wang Luo’s cultivation had already risen to the seventh level of the truth realm. It could be said that he had made rapid progress.

On this day, Chu Tianming’s roar was heard from the ancestral residence.

It had been a long time since he had heard this familiar roar.

Chu Xuan looked up and noticed that Chu Yuan had returned.

However, he looked haggard and extremely dejected.

Beside him was a little boy.

The corners of his mouth twitched. He had left for a few years and returned with a son?

For some reason, this scene seemed strangely familiar.

Was Chu Yuan’s wife from a large family clan? Had their marriage been met with opposition? Was she now captured and held captive in her clan?

Was that why Chu Yuan was in such a dire state?

Thinking back to the time when Chu Yuan had been hiding in some ruin, it was very likely that this was the cause behind such a melodramatic situation.

Chu Tianming was roaring, and the other elders of the Chu family were all glaring angrily at Chu Yuan. His status in the Chu family was extremely awkward.

Fortunately, Chu Yun had accompanied Chu Yuan back.

Otherwise, he would have been expelled before they even reached the ancestral residence.

Chu Yun’s status in the Chu family was extraordinary after all. Thus, Chu Tianming was only roaring angrily and did not expel him.

The other elders of the Chu family did not do anything too extreme either.

Chu Yuan did not seem to display any reaction to the attitudes of Chu Tianming and the other members of the Chu family. Instead, he seemed extremely dejected.

His cultivation had already reached the first level of the unity realm.

As expected of the most talented person in the current generation of the Chu family!

Not long after, Chu Yuan appeared at the entrance of the small courtyard.

“Thirteenth Brother, can I ask you for something?”

Chu Yuan’s expression was haggard, as if he had lost his soul.

Chu Xuan looked at the little boy beside him. He looked to be about five or six years old, and he had a tiger-like appearance. He looked dull and seemed a little stupid.

One look was all it took to tell that he was not some clever child.

His level of talent seemed to be very average.

The little boy held a wooden saber in his hand and fiddled with it. Half of his attention was on that wooden saber.

Chu Xuan sighed in his heart. He knew what Chu Yuan wanted from him.

He thought of this person, his father’s direct disciple, who often hated him for not living up to his father’s legacy. That same person was now standing in front of him with a haggard expression.

He was no longer as high-spirited as before.

The last time he came back, he had deliberately left half of an emperor-level scripture for him, in order to increase his influence in the family.

He could be considered to have put in a lot of effort to ensure Chu Xuan’s wellbeing.
