"Oh, alright. We can go when there's an opportunity in the future."
Everyone present discussed in disbelief.
"This strong expert actually agreed? How is that possible?"
"It seems I had predicted it. In such a expert's heart, there's no such thing as agreeing or not agreeing. If he wants to go, he can go anywhere. If he doesn't want to, not even eight sedan chairs can move him."
"Indeed."
...
In the Heavenly Severance Manor area, Feng Shang and Feng Jue were both stunned.
This script was different from what they had imagined.
Shouldn't this strong expert have directly annihilated them, and then the Heaven Sword Sect would be occupied by them? How could this happen?
"Quickly, while we have the chance, let's go try to get close to him too," Feng Shang said.
"Okay, let's go together," Feng Jue said.
"No, Senior Brother, you go. I had a brief encounter with that black dog before. I'm afraid it might recognize that we're with them," Feng Shang said.
Feng Jue also felt there was some truth to what he said, so he immediately used his movement technique to appear before Meng Chuhe, and just like Meng Chuhe, he spoke to Wang Yufan.
"I am Feng Jue, the Old Ancestor of Heavenly Severance Manor in the barren lands. I specially invite Senior, would you grace our sect with your presence?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yufan's words once again reached everyone's ears.
"Anything is fine. Alright, Changqing, Little Black, let's go." With that, Wang Yufan waved his sleeve.
The two people and one dog instantly vanished from their original spot.
At the same time, in an open space ten of thousands of miles away, space rippled, and then a white-robed figure stepped out. It was precisely Wang Yufan, Xu Changqing, and Little Black.
At this moment, Xu Changqing, whose head was still dizzy, didn't know where they were.
"Changqing, there's no need to rush about your sister's matter. A certain item is needed to completely cure your sister's illness," Wang Yufan said.
Xu Changqing, who had come to his senses, asked immediately.
"What item is it?"
Wang Yufan smiled and said, "It's a scale from an Earth Dragon in this barren lands."
"Earth Dragon?" Xu Changqing heard this term for the first time; it was still unfamiliar to him.
Wang Yufan saw Xu Changqing's expression and understood.
"Each of the three domains in this Heavenly Desolate World has an Earth Dragon, and the strength of these Earth Dragons is ranked according to the highest realm in the Upper, Middle, and Lower Three Domains. The Earth Dragon in our barren lands should be at the level of a Seventh-tier Demonic Beast, and I believe not many people in this realm understand much about this Earth Dragon."
"Then, Master, how should we obtain this scale?" Xu Changqing asked.
"No, this time, you will personally obtain the scale. Little Black and I will not act," Wang Yufan said.
"Master, didn't you just say that this Earth Dragon's strength has reached that of a Seventh-tier Demonic Beast, which is equivalent to a human's Dao Integration Realm?
Then how can I deal with it, especially since my current strength is only at the Nascent Soul Realm?" Xu Changqing asked.
"Do you know why your talent is stronger than others?" Wang Yufan asked.
Xu Changqing shook his head. Ever since he was born, he had been exceptionally gifted and different from ordinary people.
"You possess the Eternal Myriad Wood Body. Ever since you were born, your strength has unknowingly increased, not only because you had opportunities, but also because of your surrounding environment. Any wood-attribute substance can accelerate the absorption of spiritual energy within your body. Do I make myself clear?"
"I understand. Master means that wood restrains earth, and my innate attribute just happens to restrain that Earth Dragon?" Xu Changqing suddenly realized.
Wang Yufan smiled and said, "It seems I didn't misjudge you; you're quite clever. You're right, but even so, with your current strength at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, it's still a bit lacking to deal with a Seventh-tier Demonic Beast equivalent to the Dao Integration Realm.
Therefore, as your master, I have prepared two cultivation techniques for you. You will cultivate with your Myriad Wood Body, and I believe your strength will greatly improve by the time we reach the Earth Dragon's location."
With that, Wang Yufan walked in front of Xu Changqing and pointed a finger at Xu Changqing's forehead. Immediately, a golden light erupted.
Xu Changqing's mind was instantly filled with a lot of information. So much information suddenly entered his mind that it felt as if his brain was about to explode.
At this moment, Wang Yufan's voice came through.
"One, the Bodhi Art, will accelerate your cultivation speed and fully unleash the talent of your Myriad Wood Body. The other, the Celestial God Fist Technique, will be the cultivation technique you practice from now on. When the time is right, I will teach you other cultivation techniques."
Wang Yufan's words entered Xu Changqing's ears, and the explosive pain in Xu Changqing's mind slowly subsided a lot.
Then he said to Wang Yufan, "Thank you, Master. This disciple remembers."
Wang Yufan nodded and looked in the direction of the Eastern Spirit State.
"Master, is that Earth Dragon in the Eastern Spirit State?" Xu Changqing asked.
"Yes, we will not travel too quickly on this journey. You should take this time to diligently improve your strength. There will inevitably be many dangers, but most of them you will have to find a way to solve yourself," Wang Yufan said.
"Then, Master, in that case, my siste-"
"Don't worry, your sister still has half a year. We will travel to the Eastern Spirit State for three months, and by then, with that Earth Dragon Scale Armor, we will go to your home."
Hearing Wang Yufan say this, Xu Changqing felt much more at ease.
At this moment, in the Azure Spirit Sect.
After Wang Yufan left, Sima Kuangfeng from the Middle Domain and Feng Tian roughly announced the number of people who had advanced this year. Besides Yu Mingkong from the Azure Spirit Sect and the most talented Xu Changqing, eight others were selected.
Among them, the Myriad Saints Palace took Meng Yiyue, while the remaining seven were all taken in by Feng Tian into the Feng Family. The Azure Spirit Sect also gained great fame at this grand ceremony. Besides being the host, their sect also had a genius comparable to Meng Yiyue.
