Ultimate Dao Cave Dwelling.
When Jun Changxiao arrived, Tonggu Zhenren and Qiye Zhenren were wrestling together, with chess pieces from the stone table beside them scattered all over the ground.
Alright.
One side must have taken back a move.
Having cultivated at the Ultimate Dao Cave Dwelling for two years, Gou Sheng knew both of them very well. Whenever they played chess, they would inevitably take back moves. At first, they would argue, eventually escalating to physical fighting, then the next day act like nothing happened and continue playing chess.
“Husband.”
Hua Meigui whispered: “What are the two seniors doing?”
She had chosen a blue-green long dress, her black hair naturally falling. Her noble empress aura was immediately brought out.
“Cultivating.”
“……”
Alright, this kind of cultivation involving grabbing arms and pulling hair was indeed rather unconventional.
“Hmm?”
Tonggu Zhenren and Qiye Zhenren, who were fighting, noticed Jun Changxiao. They instantly returned to their seats at the stone table, putting on an air of immortal sages. But upon seeing Hua Meigui’s attire, their eyes immediately widened.
The formal wear personally designed by Gou Sheng incorporated too many modern elements, so the two old fellows who had lived for a long time had never seen anything like it.
“Disciple.”
Tonggu Zhenren said solemnly: “Your wife is dressed too garishly.”
Qiye Zhenren said: “Improper!”
These old fossils found it difficult to accept new things, so they opposed the modern-style formal wear.
“Master.”
Jun Changxiao didn’t discuss the clothing issue, but instead asked: “When do we depart?”
“Now.”
“How do we go?”
“Of course, on your Tonggu Warship.”
“Master, there’s not enough energy.”
“What do you mean? As the master, I need to provide energy to ride on the warship I created?”
“Without energy, it can’t fly either.”
“You… how much?”
“Ten thousand True Stones per person.”
Ultimately, after some negotiation, Tonggu Zhenren and Qiye Zhenren each took out ten thousand True Stones to board the Tonggu Warship, while roaring internally: “This boy is too shameless!”
“Whoosh—”
……
On the way to Sacred City, Tonggu Zhenren whispered: “Disciple, I heard you’ve been married for quite a while now. Why don’t you have children yet?”
This question was asked too suddenly, directly stunning Jun Changxiao.
“Uh…”
After brief consideration, he said: “My mind is entirely on my career right now.”
“Disciple.”
Tonggu Zhenren said meaningfully: “You’re very young now and not subject to Heavenly Dao sanctions. You should consider continuing the family line even more. Otherwise, in the future, you’ll want to but won’t be able to.”
Jun Changxiao broke down: “Master, please don’t worry about this matter.”
“You and your wife are both exceptionally talented. The child born would surely be extraordinary. If you find raising a child troublesome, no problem—once born, I’ll help take care of it and guarantee to cultivate them into a towering figure!” Tonggu Zhenren said.
“……”
Jun Changxiao understood. This old man wanted to become a grand-master.
Never mind whether there would be children or not—even if there were in the future, they would definitely be educated by himself. How could he let someone else raise them?
“Great.”
The System complained: “Trained by the host, guaranteed to become shameless number two.”
“Disciple.”
Tonggu Zhenren patted his shoulder and said: “Since you’re married, you must have children. Only then can it be considered a complete family.”
“……”
Jun Changxiao was speechless.
Tonggu Zhenren leaned close and transmitted: “Or do you have a problem?”
“Thud!”
Jun Changxiao directly collapsed on the deck.
“Having a problem isn’t scary. Active treatment is good. You absolutely mustn’t, just to live a carefree life, end up facing the rest of your life alone.” Tonggu Zhenren said. From his words, he seemed to somewhat regret not cherishing things when he was young.
Master!
I don’t have a problem—you have a problem!
Although they were conversing privately, Hua Meigui occasionally heard a sentence or two, and her cheeks gradually reddened.
……
Sacred City.
Just hearing the name, you know it’s very sacred!
There were many cities in the Upper Realm. The ones truly considered top-tier definitely included Sacred City.
“Whoosh!”
Half an hour later, the Tonggu Warship flew over, suspended above the city, radiating an extremely arrogant aura.
Some might say Gou Sheng would die if he didn’t show off.
No!
He originally planned to land outside the city and enter properly, but Tonggu Zhenren said: “Disciple, fly the ship directly in.”
“That’s a bit arrogant.” Jun Changxiao said.
“Young people.”
Tonggu Zhenren said: “Should be arrogant.”
Qiye Zhenren standing beside him widened his eyes. This wasn’t at all the old man he knew, who used to play chess while worrying his disciple would cause trouble!
With the master’s command, how dare he not comply?
So Jun Changxiao piloted the Tonggu Warship majestically forward.
Sacred City had a no-fly regulation. Suddenly having someone arrogantly arrive on a warship naturally caused dissatisfaction among the martial artists within. But after confirming it was the Tonggu Warship, their attitude immediately changed to respect.
The entire Upper Realm knew that Wangu Sect, at the cost of sacrificing one elder, had destroyed nine warships. Now that the sect master arrived, they naturally gave full respect.
Moreover.
Two Zhenren stood on board.
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
At the central area plaza of the city, the Tonggu Warship slowly descended.
“Hmph.”
Jun Changxiao had just jumped down when a cold snort came from the distance. Following the sound, he saw Guhong Zhenren, who had previously appeared at Wangu Sect, standing in a small pavilion with a face full of disdain.
Beside him stood a black-robed person.
Fully armed and with head lowered, it was difficult to tell if they were male or female.
Jun Changxiao instinctively released his spiritual sense to probe. Just as it approached, it was bounced back by some force. He thought inwardly: “Quite mysterious.”
“Old Guhong.”
Tonggu Zhenren said: “Is this your disciple?”
“Correct.”
Guhong Zhenren raised his head, his words and brows radiating strong pride.
“Tsk tsk.” Tonggu Zhenren said: “You even gave them your Protective Mirror. Seems you value this disciple greatly.”
The Protective Mirror was one of Guhong Zhenren’s signature high-grade supreme treasures. Not only did it have defensive functions, but it could also isolate realm aura, preventing outsiders from truly seeing through their strength.
“Didn’t you also give that boy the Tonggu Warship?”
“……”
Hearing this, Gou Sheng wanted to cry.
After acknowledging this master, although he had been cultivated for two years, he hadn’t been given any supreme treasures. Even the Tonggu Warship was something he himself found in the Planar Battlefield.
“What’s this?”
Tonggu Zhenren raised an eyebrow and said: “Waiting here for me—you want them to spar?”
“Precisely my intention.” Guhong Zhenren said calmly.
“Disciple.”
Tonggu Zhenren said: “Go forth and fight.”
Jun Changxiao said seriously: “Master, I came to attend a meeting, not to fight. Besides, if we’re going to fight, it should wait until the appointed day.”
“Young man.”
Guhong Zhenren said flatly: “This time is just a spar. The appointed day is when we determine victory.”
“……”
Jun Changxiao looked at Tonggu Zhenren. Seeing his expression was extremely serious, he could only shrug and say: “Since that’s the case, then let’s fight.”
“Husband.”
Hua Meigui transmitted: “This person is a bit strange. Don’t be careless.”
“Hmph.”
Jun Changxiao walked out dismissively. Just as he steadied himself, the black-robed person suddenly appeared before him.
“Not good!”
“Boom—”
On the wide plaza, a thunderous explosion suddenly rang out. Stone slabs rapidly cracked.
In the area where the shockwave howled, the black-robed person stood at Jun Changxiao’s location. With them as the center, the ground sank downward, forming a circular pit about several zhang deep.
Where was Gou Sheng?
Lying dozens of meters away.
He struggled to raise his hand and give a thumbs up, weakly saying: “You… you… won…”
Bro!
Can you act any more fake?
