"Dual Cultivation Ceremony?"

Chen Yun raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise. He didn't expect that the plot would remain as planned without any changes.

In the end, Nangong Wan could not escape the fate of being coveted.

"Your Excellency is right. The elder named Wei Lichen from Huayi Sect successfully condensed his Nascent Soul in just three hundred years. His supernatural powers are rare and he is a genius in the cultivation world that has never appeared in the Tiannan region. Our sect has discussed this with Huayi Sect many times and spent a lot of effort to make this event happen."

Facing Chen Yun's indifferent face, the middle-aged monk felt horrified, and all kinds of inexplicable thoughts kept surging in his heart. However, under Chen Yun's sharp and cold gaze, he could only state his thoughts one by one like a machine.

When Lei Wanhe and others saw this situation, their faces turned strange.

At this moment, anyone can see that the relationship between Chen Yun and Nangong Wan of Yanyue Sect must be very important! Otherwise, Chen Yun would never have such a strong reaction to this news.

However, what happened next stunned everyone - the extreme coldness on Chen Yun's face disappeared instantly after he examined the middle-aged monk for a moment. Then his tone suddenly softened, and he said with a gentle smile:
"Friend Tang, there is no need to panic. I have no bad intentions. I just feel agitated when I learn that the person I loved in the past is about to become someone else's wife. Since I already know about this, I will go to the meeting and congratulate you."

Hearing Chen Yun's frank words, the middle-aged monk felt relieved and uttered joyful invitations one after another.

However, Chen Yun just smiled indifferently and said no more.

When Lei Wanhe and the others saw this, their faces relaxed a little. After all, at this stage, the six major sects of Yue State have formed a very close alliance relationship, and they really don't want to provoke disputes to take root.

Then, Chen Yun casually asked about some issues related to the six major sects of Yue State. Such questions were actually irrelevant. The five people naturally spoke without reservation.

When Patriarch Linghu in the Huangfeng Valley announced that he was about to pass away, Chen Yun frowned, but in the blink of an eye, he returned to his nonchalant look, as if what had just happened had never happened.

During the following period of time, Chen Yun seemed to have lost the desire to communicate with others. With a gloomy face, he controlled the windmill alone and sped forward.

The other monks also noticed that this "Senior Brother Chen" was in a bad mood, so no one dared to talk too much in the car.

As a result, the originally bustling wind carriage suddenly became lifeless and silent.

After a short half-day journey, they arrived at the top of a desolate and remote hill, and Chen Yun stopped the windmill steadily.

"My fellow Taoists, let's part ways here for now."

"This place is only a day's journey from the border of Fengyuan Country, so it can be said to be a relatively safe area. Since Chen has something extremely important to deal with, I'm sorry that I can't continue to accompany you on the journey."

Chen Yun walked down from the wind carriage with an expressionless face and spoke to the people present in a calm tone.

Lei Wanhe and his companions said goodbye politely, and all expressed their gratitude to Chen Yun for saving their lives, and then left the Yufengche one by one.

Chen Yun remained silent, turned the car around, and sped away into the distance. In an instant, he disappeared without a trace.

Then, the elderly monk from Tianque Castle couldn't help but ask Lei Wanhe curiously:

"Brother Lei, is this fellow Taoist who calls himself 'Senior Brother Chen' really a distant disciple of your sect's Huangfeng Valley, and also your nephew?" "How could that be? How could Lei joke about such a thing?"

Lei Wanhe frowned and asked back, his tone quite dissatisfied. Although he was able to escape today, the younger generation in the past has now surpassed him in cultivation.

He even transformed himself into a real senior and had to apologize carefully. Such a change is really hard to accept.

"Haha! Why are you so angry, Brother Lei? I'm just a little confused. If what Brother Lei said is correct, then Senior Chen and Fellow Daoist Nie should be roughly the same age. I wonder how Fellow Daoist Nie spent these long years of cultivating immortals to reach his current state?"

The monk from Tianque Castle named Qiancai did not show any anger. Instead, he turned around and asked Nie Ying seriously.

"I have been practicing hard for more than two hundred years, and I have just barely reached the current level of the initial stage of Jindan."

Nie Ying seemed to have guessed the other party's thoughts and responded with a slightly nervous expression.

"I see. Then Senior Chen also went through more than 200 years of practice before he successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage. The meaning behind this is extraordinary. Do you know what it would mean if Senior Chen could one day reach the Spiritualization stage?"

Brother Qian Cai stroked his sparse beard and analyzed seriously. "Could it be that Brother Qian meant..."

The sturdy man named Shi from the Giant Sword Sect was extremely shocked and blurted out.

"That's right. He has a good chance of breaking through the bottleneck and reaching the God Transformation Stage. The last recorded appearance of a God Transformation Stage cultivator in our Tiannan region was in ancient times. According to historical records, this God Transformation Stage cultivator disappeared from the world of immortal cultivation immediately after entering the God Transformation Stage. However, during the short period of his rise, he almost swept across the entire Tiannan. Both the forces of good and evil, as well as independent sects, all submitted to him. No one can withstand the attack of a God Transformation Stage cultivator, even when they have just entered the early stages of the God Transformation Stage."

"Brother Qian's statement is a bit exaggerated. Although Senior Chen has cultivated to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage in a short period of time, it is still far away for him to challenge the Spiritualization stage. In fact, if he can successfully upgrade to the late Nascent Soul stage, it will be enough to make his sect dominate the world. Of course, this is indeed possible in theory."

After Nie Ying pondered for a moment, she replied with a smile:

"Haha! Perhaps I have overthought. However, if nothing unexpected happens, this person named Senior Chen will be able to become an important figure that shakes the entire Tiannan region in the next few hundred years. Moreover, he has a deep connection with Guigu. If we can successfully invite him to join the Six Sects Alliance, perhaps in the near future, our six sects will be able to return to the glorious and glorious homeland of Yue State."

The monk surnamed Qian's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he continued to state slowly and firmly: "Origin? You have just witnessed it with your own eyes. Although Senior Chen was a member of our Yellow Maple Valley in the past, he is now a distinguished elder of the Luoyun Sect of the Heavenly Dao Alliance. Whether in terms of status or sect strength, what honor does our valley have to attract and welcome such a talent back?"

"What's more, you and everyone else can see that this senior has no intention of returning at all."

Hearing this, everyone present fell into silence.

"I'm afraid I can't reveal too much about the details. But what is certain is that the possibility of striving for this is not optimistic. However, it has been observed that he seems to have a deep friendship with Senior Nangong of the Yanyue Sect. Therefore, we can convey our goodwill to the other party through Senior Nangong. Even if we cannot ultimately convince him to return to our six sects, at least establishing friendship is entirely feasible." Lei Wanhe first shook his head lightly, but soon changed his tone and turned to the middle-aged cultivator of the Yanyue Sect and said.

"This... maybe there is indeed a glimmer of hope. I still need to go back to the sect and ask for advice on the personal relationship between Senior Chen and Uncle Nangong to confirm it."

Tang Minghua responded with a little hesitation.

"Forget it. This kind of complicated matter involving Nascent Soul cultivators is obviously not something we can easily decide. All decisions should be handled by the elders. This Senior Chen will attend the grand event to be held in three months. There, I think we may have a chance to contact again. At this moment, let's return to the alliance as soon as possible. This is not a place to stay for long." Lei Wanhe looked around and suggested in a deep voice with a frown on his face.

When the others heard this, they were shocked, and their original desire to discuss the matter in depth was instantly calmed down. The five people immediately turned into five dazzling rays of light and leaped away.

Lei Wanhe seemed relaxed on the surface, but he felt extremely heavy deep down in his heart.

How should he explain this to the sect's ancestor Linghu?

Did he dare to tell him the truth that the disciple he had abandoned in the past had now become extremely powerful, comparable to himself, and seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with the Huangfeng Valley?
This is undoubtedly equivalent to publicly accusing his uncle of moral deficiencies.

Thinking of this, Lei Wanhe could only sigh silently, and then speed up and gallop forward alone.

……

Because the wind-control car was too eye-catching, Chen Yun flew it for a distance.

Seeing that Lei Wanhe and others had disappeared without a trace, he put the vehicle into the storage bag without hesitation and used ordinary escape techniques to continue moving forward.

In the past, his encounter with Nangong Wan was limited to a brief love affair on a spring night. Although they only had two chance meetings, due to the huge gap in their cultivation, their interactions always remained as dull as water.

However, what was unexpected was that as time went by, Chen Yun gradually regarded Nangong Wan as his lover in his heart.

Furthermore, he firmly believed that as a man who once possessed Nangong Wanzhen's vagina, even if this woman did not often show obvious emotions, she must have some special feelings for him.

Looking ahead to the important celebration to be held three months later, Chen Yun's eyes were deep, and he was determined to go to this grand event in person.

The only problem that bothered him now was how to solve the problem: should he go to Yanyue Sect to take Nangong Wan away secretly, or wait until the ceremony officially started in three months and then make the request to her in person.

Both strategies undoubtedly have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The first strategy is the most feasible. However, it cannot confirm whether Nangong Wan will follow him away without hesitation.

After all, she had spent a long time in Yanyue Sect and even became an elder of the sect. It was impossible for her to leave quietly without any scruples.

As for the second strategy, which is to publicly propose to Nangong Wan on the day of the celebration, although it can face tremendous pressure from multiple forces such as the Yanyue Sect, the Six Sects and even the Nine-Nation Alliance, it also means many difficulties.

However, as long as he can handle every link properly, he will be able to spend the rest of his life with Nangong Wan legitimately without having to worry about the future.

Of course, there is a simpler solution, which is to eliminate Wei Lichen, who plans to marry Nangong Wan, silently.

In this way, all obstacles will be removed.

However, this approach also carries the greatest risk.

Chen Yun moved forward cautiously while repeatedly weighing various response strategies.

In the end, in order to ensure that there would be no mistakes, he decided to adopt a combination of these strategies.

First, he must go to Yanyue Sect to meet Nangong Wan in person.

With his current cultivation strength, as long as he does not encounter interference from a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, I believe no one can stop him.

With the plan in mind, Chen Yun was encouraged.

After confirming the direction, he suddenly accelerated and disappeared into the sky in an instant.

……

The six factions of the Yue Kingdom were defeated in the war that year and had to retreat to the Northern Liang Kingdom, the least populated country in the Nine-Nation Alliance, to rebuild their sects.

Beiliang has a vast territory, but the number of sects for cultivating Taoism is extremely limited. The main reason is that the country's cultivation resources are among the most backward in the entire Nine-Nation Alliance.

As the most recently joined sect among the six factions, they had almost no other choice.

Despite more than a hundred years of conflict and competition, the monks of the six sects finally found a foothold among certain local sects and established their own sects after hard work.

However, the spiritual veins, sacred mountains, raw minerals and influence they could obtain in Beiliang Kingdom were far less than what they had in their glorious days when they dominated Yue Kingdom.

However, after experiencing the hardships of these years, the six factions have finally gradually regained their former vitality, and their status and voice within the Nine-Nation Alliance have also improved.

The Yanyue Sect, which is at the head of the six sects, occupies a place with rich spiritual energy.

The monks of the Yanyue Sect settled down on Linglong Mountain in the westernmost part of Beiliang Kingdom, and used magic to build pavilions and towers in an orderly manner and various forbidden formations.

This place is the new headquarters of the Yanyue Sect.

Linglong Mountain is roughly divided into three parts.

The lowest mountain is the living and training area for low-level disciples.

From the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain, only cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage and above are allowed to enter.

When reaching the highest point of the mountain, only cultivators at the Jindan stage and above are qualified to settle there. (End of this chapter)
