Chapter 483: Chapter 483, The Changing Celestial Travel Sect
However, this was far from over. From time to time, formidable Kings in the Life and Death Realm would tear through space, traversing the void to retrieve young talents from various regions.
"I have to go now, Chu Ming, you must come find me at the Ice Profound Hall!"
With a slight sense, Feng Yuyan noticed a familiar presence swiftly approaching and turned to Chu Ming to leave her words.
"Don’t worry, I will!"
Chu Ming nodded in response.
Crack!
A massive icy twist in the sky quickly shattered the space within a radius of several miles. A gigantic blue and cold silhouette peered through the void, instantly covering the entire ground with a layer of frost.
"Disciples of Ice Profound Hall, come to me!"
A cold female voice resonated, sending chills through everyone’s hearts. Feng Yuyan glanced at Chu Ming, then swiftly flew towards the space rift.
Five or six people flew to the rift, and a blue icy jade hand extended from the rift, pulling them in directly. The space then healed itself.
"I reckon the patriarch will be here any moment!"
The Celestial Realm, located at the edge of the Eastern Hundred Domains, was quite distant from the Sword Domain. Moreover, Qingxuan King’s cultivation was only at the half-step King level, making it slower compared to these true Kings.
More and more Kings appeared in the sky, and the crowd gradually became numb to it. The Life and Death Realm Kings, who were usually elusive, had appeared in numbers exceeding ten at once today.
The number of young talents in the field dwindled, and the martial artists who had come to watch the excitement had long left, now observing from a distance.
Poof!
A gust of breeze blew through, and the sky darkened. From the void emerged a hunched gray figure with deep, far-reaching eyes—it was none other than Chu Ming’s mentor, Qingxuan King!
"Greetings, grandmaster (mentor)!"
Chu Ming and Zuo Fenglei bowed respectfully with clasped hands.
"You two, quickly follow me back to the sect!"
A mysterious aura emanated from Qingxuan King. With a slight movement of his arm, a realm of wind descended, enveloping Chu Ming and Zuo Fenglei directly.
Their vision shifted as they found themselves trapped in a silver space, traveling across the void.
Qingxuan King’s immense power caused the space around him to retreat wherever he went.
"Chu Ming, you did well this time. You truly brought great honor to our Celestial Travel Sect!"
Qingxuan King turned to look at Chu Ming with eyes filled with praise.
"This is what a disciple should do!"
Chu Ming clasped his hands respectfully once more.
Qingxuan King nodded slightly, his eyes like gods, piercing through countless layers of space to see the end of the world.
"Upon returning to the Celestial Travel Sect, you shall cultivate at the sect’s foundation for one month."
Qingxuan King continued to instruct.
"Understood, master!"
Chu Ming understood that at this tea ceremony, his body was imbued with immense fortune, affecting everything related to him. This would lead to inevitable, earth-shattering changes in the future.
Cultivating for a month at the foundation of the Celestial Travel Sect would merge his fortune with the entire sect, bringing transformative changes.
"On this return to the sect, I permit you to bring the entire Chu Family into the Celestial Travel Sect. For the specifics, you may discuss with your senior brother."
Qingxuan King said indifferently, extending his hands to form a green light shield around Chu Ming and Zuo Fenglei, completely blocking the pressure from the surrounding space.
"Thank you, master!"
Chu Ming was overjoyed. The Great Yan Kingdom was a barren place, limiting the Chu Family’s development. As he progressed further in martial arts, he attracted more powerful enemies, both righteous and wicked. Someone might lose patience and attack the Chu Family.
Moving the Chu Family to the Celestial Travel Sect would be the safest option.
Despite Qingxuan King being a half-step Life and Death Realm King, the journey from the Celestial Realm to the Sword Domain, even at Chu Ming’s full speed, would take more than a month. But under Qingxuan King, it took less than half a day for the three of them to reach the Celestial Travel Sect’s territory.
Boom!
The three emerged from the void, Qingxuan King’s hunched body still exuding immense power.
"You may return now!"
Qingxuan King instructed Zuo Fenglei.
"Yes, grandmaster!"
Zuo Fenglei bowed respectfully and flew towards the Celestial Travel Sect’s main hall.
"Follow me to the sect’s foundation!"
Pulling at Chu Ming’s sleeve, Qingxuan King’s body flitted once more, and the space rippled like a water curtain, opening a path. Chu Ming found himself outside a black underground area.
In front of him were stretches of black stones, emitting a faint halo with countless stars glimmering occasionally. The spiritual power here was two to three times that of the outside world, and a mighty pressure spread from these stones.
"This is the foundation of the Celestial Travel Sect; you will cultivate here for a month!"
Qingxuan King instructed Chu Ming.
"Yes!"
Chu Ming did not object, understanding that Qingxuan King was likely concerned about the dissemination of Chu Ming’s fortune. Hence, upon returning, he immediately had Chu Ming cultivate at the sect’s foundation.
Swoosh!
Chu Ming randomly chose a round platform and sat cross-legged on it. The spiritual energy here was likely the densest in the entire Celestial Travel Sect.
Qingxuan King nodded slightly and withdrew from the space with a flash.
A flash of light appeared in Qingxuan King’s hand, and two upper-grade Spirit Stones appeared in Chu Ming’s hands. The Eleventh Layer of the Pure Essence Sword Qi Technique began to operate rapidly, with torrents of spiritual power flowing from his dantian into his Sea of Spiritual Power.
...
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than twenty days had passed. The entire Celestial Travel Sect was undergoing subtle changes every moment. The first to notice were the Inner Sect Disciples in seclusion for cultivation.
"What’s going on? Why has my mind been so clear these past few days? And the spiritual energy in the air has become much denser!"
A white-robed disciple who had just finished his seclusion stood in his independent courtyard, confused.
"Have you heard? It’s said that Senior Brother Chu shone at the tea ceremony, bearing supreme fortune. Even the entire Celestial Travel Sect has benefited from it."
"Now that you mention it, I recall that several Inner Sect seniors have already broken through their realms in these past few days. This must be thanks to Senior Brother Chu."
"I reckon it won’t be long before the Celestial Realm undergoes earth-shattering changes. Let’s wait and see."
In the Celestial Hall.
Yan Nanxing sat on his seat, equally feeling the changes in the Celestial Travel Sect. He couldn’t help but murmur.
"Could this be what the master referred to as fortune?"
For several days, he felt the barriers of his own realm becoming increasingly blurred. It wouldn’t be long before he broke through. The power of fortune was indeed profound.
Unseen, the entire Celestial Travel Sect was undergoing earth-shattering changes. During this time, in the foundation, Chu Ming’s cultivation also reached a bottleneck.
