"Because we do not understand the Nine Heavens Alliance."
"Imagine, if you were Chu Ming from Qin Kingdom, faced with an unknown force, unknown power, would you stay or flee?"
The silver-haired elder looked at Elder Shi: "No need to think, you would run faster than anyone else."
"..." Elder Shi’s beard shook.
"So, if we want this child to join our Nine Heavens Alliance, we must first show that we mean no harm."
"How to show that?"
"You and I cannot appear, or we will scare him."
"And then?"
"Then... leave it to Tantai Xiu, after all, this is Celestial Veil Kingdom."
The prince of Celestial Veil Kingdom, also a once-in-centuries genius, Tantai Xiu holds great power.
"What does Master need me to do?"
Tantai Xiu was eager to compete again with Chu Ming from Qin Kingdom, but after hearing the silver-haired elder’s analysis, he temporarily gave up the idea of challenging him.
"First, find out what this child is doing in Celestial Curtain City."
"Then, isn’t that Ji Wujiang the child’s master? Arrange this person in the imperial city, preferably by his side."
"Finally, Tantai Xiu, find a suitable opportunity to visit him."
"Remember, choose the right opportunity, do not abruptly visit, this child’s mind is astute, a sudden visit will only arouse his suspicion."
The silver-haired elder laid out the plan.
Suitable opportunity?
Tantai Xiu pondered a moment and understood the meaning.
During the discussion, he had already ordered his confidants to investigate Chu Ming from Qin Kingdom and his activities in Celestial Veil Kingdom.
Before long, a complete set of information returned.
"Master Shi, Granny Yin, found it." Tantai Xiu waved his sleeve in the void, a phantom appeared in the sky, "Due to Langhuan Book Realm, various Confucius Temples in Celestial Veil Kingdom have opened and set tests."
As the prince of Celestial Veil Kingdom, he knew many things more than the outside world.
"On the surface, Ji Wujiang specifically brought Chu Ming from Qin Kingdom to participate in the Confucius Temple tests because Qin Kingdom lacks Sixth Realm Primordial Qi Warriors. To outsiders, Ji Wujiang did this to cultivate high-tier Primordial Qi Warriors for Qin Kingdom."
Elder Shi listened and said grumpily: "That kid used a Primordial Technique that even injured you, Qin Kingdom has no high-tier Primordial Qi Warrior?"
Tantai Xiu’s face remained unchanged, he continued: "He concealed his identity, participated in the Hanmo Confucius Temple tests, successfully passed without much surprise."
"Moreover, the style of Qin Kingdom’s Chu Ming this time was remarkably different from his previous caution, he displayed incredible talent in the Confucius Temple tests, using only a quarter hour to pass the second round, the Book Page Maze."
"Because of this, he was noticed by Xuanyuan Huikong, the temple priest of Hanmo Confucius Temple, and accepted as a direct disciple."
"Xuanyuan Huikong? An Eighth Realm Divine Mansion realm beginner dared to accept that kid, not afraid of getting himself caught up one day." Elder Shi spoke cynically.
"Not only that, Xuanyuan Ye from Cyan Simurgh Marquis’ Mansion also granted Chu Ming a Cyan Simurgh Order."
"Cyan Simurgh Order? That kid is so high-profile this time?" Elder Shi asked, surprised.
"Perhaps..." Granny Yin gazed at the phantom, "It’s not being high-profile, but targeting the Langhuan Book Realm."
"Langhuan Book Realm?" Elder Shi, hearing these words, furrowed his brow slightly, "Also do not know, whether it’s good or bad that we handed the opening method of this realm to your Celestial Veil Kingdom."
Langhuan Book Realm disappeared for ten thousand years, the reason it could be found by Celestial Veil Kingdom this time was due to Elder Shi and Granny Yin.
"With catastrophe looming, Langhuan Book Realm might be Celestial Veil Kingdom’s only hope, Master Shi, Granny Yin, I believe we did nothing wrong." Tantai Xiu’s face showed solemnity.
"Old Monster Shi, Celestial Veil Kingdom has already collected the entire Ancient Profound Western Continent’s energy, capturing the entrance to Langhuan Book Realm, saying these is meaningless, let’s discuss Chu Ming’s matter."
"This child at Yan Imperial Mausoleum back then, the Primordial Qi Warrior power he exploded reached Sixth Realm Perfection, Martial Artist wasn’t far off, and he’s mastered several True Intents like Destruction, Golden Gang Undying, his comprehensive strength should already threaten weaker Seventh Realm levels."
Granny Yin was evaluating Chu Ming’s strength.
"Fortunately, you managed to comprehend Destruction True Intent to First Layer Perfection, Golden Gang Undying True Intent to Late Stage of the First Layer, otherwise, as Celestial Veil Kingdom’s top genius, you couldn’t defeat a genius from an Inland Realm." Elder Shi teased again.
Tantai Xiu clenched his fists silently, determined to find a chance to spar.
Based on the power at Yan Imperial Mausoleum, he indeed wasn’t confident in defeating Chu Ming, but times have changed, now, even against early Seventh Realm, let alone middle stage, he could fight.
"Possessing power comparable to Seventh Realm but hiding it, infiltrating the Confucius Temple... Granny Yin was right, the kid likely indeed targets Langhuan Book Realm."
"Master Shi, Granny Yin, since Chu Ming wants to connect with Langhuan Book Realm, why not give him an opportunity? I’ll instruct Confucius Temple and Literary Residence to open special tests, allowing him to keep advancing."
"Wait until he enters Literary Residence or even Civil Palace, then, under the pretense of admiring his talent, I’ll meet him personally."
"This way, it won’t be too abrupt."
Tantai Xiu thought for a moment, then shared his idea.
Elder Shi raised his brow: "This method is good."
Granny Yin also nodded.
"Proceed according to this plan."
"Yes."
"..."
...
Three days later.
Chu Ming closed his eyes tightly, face serious.
The four lakes within the Sea of Consciousness all boiled, the Red Sun Nascent Primordial Qi, Primordial Qi Seed Tree, Silver Primordial Qi Lake in the Primordial Qi Mansion were all fiercely active.
Three pure threads of Primordial Qi forged bridges, wisps of Primordial Consciousness fragments sank into the three.
Accumulating... converging...
The breakthrough to the Seventh Realm reached the final moment.
He dared not relax a bit, all his Heart Spirit gathered inward, injecting more Primordial Qi-wrapped Primordial Consciousness.
