319: Chapter 319 Going Home

"There is no need to be modest. I have five Personal Disciples under my seat alone, and these five are absolute geniuses throughout the entire Yan Country. However, compared to you, they simply pale in comparison," Immortal Master Yuyuan chuckled and said.

At this moment, apart from Master Yuzhen, the other two were somewhat shocked upon hearing their Revered Master praise the person before them in such a manner, and even looked at Chen Changqing with a hint of scrutiny.

Yet they could not detect anything remarkable about the person before them at all.

His aura was ordinary, barely reaching the Purple Mansion Third Layer. With only this level of cultivation, how could he make Revered Master care so much, and even feel that they were very ordinary compared to him?

"Revered Master, I didn't expect Junior Brother Chen to reach such a stage; it's simply a bit exaggerated. I'm afraid even Junior Sister Bai Ye cannot compare to this, right?" Master Yuzhen also smiled and said.

If it weren't for the fact that Junior Brother Chen belonged to the Chen Family, he would have long wanted to make this Junior Brother Chen a Personal Disciple of Revered Master. That way, no one in their lineage could compare to them.

Immortal Master Yuyuan did not speak, but the appreciation in his eyes was somewhat difficult to conceal.

After paying his respects to Immortal Master Yuyuan, Chen Changqing took his leave, as he still needed to go to Wanxiang Peak to pay respects to Senior Brother Dong Tianheng.

Immortal Master Yuyuan did not stop him, but instead happily allowed him to go.

It was not until Chen Changqing left, and Immortal Master Yuyuan had also returned to the back mountain of Yuxu Peak, that the other two dared to ask.

"Third Senior Brother, do you know who this person is? This young man looks completely ordinary, why do both you and Revered Master feel that this person is extraordinary?"

"Sigh, the two of you do not know this, but Junior Brother Chen entered the Sect decades ago, and at that time he was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, not even reaching the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer," Master Yuzhen explained.

"What? Senior Brother, are you saying that this person crossed several Realms within these short few decades, going from the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer to the current Purple Mansion Third Layer? Is this Cultivation speed really this fast? But even so, he still cannot compare with Junior Sister Bai Ye, right?" The two asked in confusion.

The two of them understood that compared to this person, he was indeed more of a Genius than them, but even like this, he still couldn't compare to Junior Sister Bai Ye.

"Have you forgotten what Revered Master said? Revered Master just said that Junior Brother Chen has already reached the Purple Mansion Fifth Layer, not the surface-level Purple Mansion Third Layer," Master Yuzhen said. In fact, after learning of this point, he couldn't help but gasp.

Sure enough, the other two wore looks of astonishment and said, "How is this possible? Going from the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer all the way to the Purple Mansion Fifth Layer in a few decades—even that newly advanced Golden Core Master of Biluo Palace couldn't achieve this, right?"

"Yet this is the truth!" Master Yuzhen sighed with emotion. In fact, there was one more thing he hadn't mentioned: back when Junior Brother Chen was only at the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer, he had already slain Purple Palace Cultivators. Furthermore, the fact that they couldn't sense Junior Brother Chen's aura just now proved that Junior Brother Chen was even more powerful than them.

If this point were spoken aloud, these two Junior Brothers would probably doubt their lives! If the two of them hadn't been dizzy from all the information just now, they probably would have realized it immediately.

However, over these few decades, he had only taken one step upward, reaching the Purple Mansion Seventh Layer Perfection. By comparison, he felt like a Mortal.

If a few more years passed, this Junior Brother Chen's cultivation would likely surpass his own.

On Baicao Peak, Li Qingling had just finished paying her respects to Master Baiye. Today's Master Baiye was extraordinary; although she had not yet achieved Core Formation, she had already stepped into the False Core Stage. At present, she was only around two hundred years old, and if a few more years passed, she might possibly become a Golden Core Master.

Even so, Master Baiye still marveled at the progress of her little disciple. Having not seen her for just a few decades, she had already reached the Purple Mansion Second Layer. Such a speed was almost catching up to her own.

It was only a pity that her little disciple was tied down by her Family; otherwise, her Cultivation speed would probably have already surpassed her.

After Li Qingling left, Song Mingxue looked at her retreating figure with a complex mix of feelings in her heart. Both of them had entered Master Baiye's Sect at the same time, and initially, her cultivation was even higher. Yet as a result, Li Qingling was already at the Purple Mansion Realm, while she—let alone becoming a Purple Palace Cultivator—did not even know how many years it would take to reach the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

Right now, she was only at the Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer.

On Wanxiang Peak, inside the Treasure Pavilion, Junior Brother Deng Yang sensed two Purple Mansion auras approaching. Looking outward, he then discovered it was Chen Changqing and his companion.

"You two?" Junior Brother Deng Yang asked in surprise. He hadn't expected that after just a few decades of not seeing them, Chen Changqing's cultivation had already reached the Purple Mansion Third Layer, and that Li Qingling had also reached the Zifu Stage.

"Senior Brother Deng (Junior Martial Uncle Deng)." Chen Changqing and Li Qingling bowed with cupped hands.

"Mhm, I didn't expect that after all these years apart, the two of you as a couple are truly becoming more and more frightening. Tell me, what brings you here?" Junior Brother Deng Yang smiled, then changed the subject and asked the two of them.

"Senior Brother Deng, my wife and I have come to pay respects to Senior Brother Dong. Back when Senior Brother Dong was still around, he helped me a great deal. If not for Senior Brother, I might have already died on the battlefield of Jizhou City back then." Chen Changqing explained his purpose for coming, and incidentally inquired about the whereabouts of Junior Sister Dong Xiyue.

"I see. However, if Senior Brother Dong's spirit in heaven knows of your achievements today, he would surely be very happy." Junior Brother Deng Yang spoke with a somewhat desolate mood.

Now, of the Purple Palace Cultivators on Wanxiang Peak, only he remained. Dong Tianheng had died in battle, and Senior Brother Tao Heng had already passed away due to the arrival of his lifespan limit.

Upon learning of this, Chen Changqing and his wife also felt somewhat heavy-hearted. However, after meeting Junior Sister Dong Xiyue and seeing that she was already at the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer, they felt a measure of joy in their hearts.

After giving Junior Sister Dong Xiyue some guidance, the two of them left the Yuxu Sect and returned to Wuyue Mountain.

Junior Brother Deng Yang and Junior Sister Dong Xiyue watched their retreating figures with a sense of wonder in their hearts. Just a few decades apart, these two had already reached such a level; their future achievements would certainly not be low.

After leaving the Yuxu Sect, Chen Changqing and Li Qingling headed in the direction of Wuyue Mountain.

Along the way, they passed through the territory of the Giant Sword Sect without concealing their figures, so many Cultivators caught sight of them and were astonished by their cultivation levels.

Among them, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator seemed to recognize the two, immediately turning around to report back to the Sect.

Chen Changqing and his wife were already at the Zifu Stage, so upon arriving in Yan Country, they no longer needed to hide themselves. Instead, they wanted to return in a high-profile manner so that all Cultivators in Taihe Prefecture would know that their Chen Family was now a Purple Mansion Family possessing two Purple Palace Cultivators.

Perhaps in a few more years, their Chen Family would become a Purple Mansion Family with three Purple Palace Cultivators.

They arrived at Wuyue Mountain along the way without any obstruction.

In the back mountain of Wuyue Mountain, almost all Foundation Establishment Cultivators were alarmed. They sensed two powerful auras sweeping past, but after the initial shock, they relaxed, and furthermore, their faces revealed a sense of pride.

Because Chen Changqing had already transmitted the news of their return to them.

Aside from the Foundation Establishment Cultivators who were in secluded cultivation to breakthrough Realms and could not come out, all other Foundation Establishment Cultivators who were in quiet cultivation or in charge of Family affairs came to the ancestral hall.
