Ascending to the heavens, the battlefield, fireflies.

Tianlan withdrew her gaze, as if she had made up her mind, and said, "I'm leaving!"

"Aren't you going to reconsider changing your route?"

Lan Tian said slowly, "If you can't let go, then why force yourself to walk this path?"

"Indecisive and hesitant."

Tianlan looked at Lantian and continued, "This time Qin Changsheng intercepted it, next time Li Changsheng will probably intercept it again."

The longer you delay, the further away the Great Luo will be from you.

If an outsider were here, they would find it incredible.

After all, no matter how powerful Tianlan was in the Ascension Battlefield, the Ascension Battlefield has now been integrated into the Azure Domain.

Standing before Tianlan was, after all, the top Golden Immortal on the Tianqing Domain's list, a top expert besides the Great Luo Immortals.

The only ones who can preach to him are those high and mighty Luo.

But Lan Tian couldn't refute Tian Lan's lectures.

Because he knew it was true.

Trying to be perfect in everything only leads to others getting there first.

However, Lan Tian did not think this was a bad thing. After all, the Celestial Clan was not the same as before. They could move slowly, but they could not make mistakes.

He sought a breakthrough that was foolproof, rather than gambling with his life like Qin Changsheng, risking his life at the last minute.

"It's not like it was back then, when we had the ancestor Houtu to protect us."

You know better than I the consequences of failing to break through to the Great Luo realm using the Path of Severing Emotions.

Lan Tian's tone was heavy, yet tinged with helplessness.

When the ancestor Xingtian walked the path of severing emotions, he only severed all his feelings at the very end.

But at that time, the Celestial Clan needed him to maximize his combat power. After his complete breakthrough, he was used as a weapon of war and thrown into the Chaos Battlefield.

The reason he was able to maintain his mind after embarking on the path of severing emotions was also thanks to Houtu's Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Tianlan doesn't get to enjoy such treatment.

Even the Great Luo Protector couldn't do that.

If she fails to break through, then death might be the best outcome.

"Let's go!"

Tianlan waved her hand, interrupting Lantian's rambling.

She left without a trace.

The blue sky lingered for a long time, eventually turning into a helpless sigh.

Everyone has their own path to walk.

He cannot walk the path of Tianlan.

There's not much he can do; he can only do what he can when the Celestial Clan needs him.

"Master, I've broken through!"

Gu Yuan's voice came from afar, interrupting Lan Tian's thoughts.

"very good!"

Lan Tian nodded slightly, then said, "After returning to the sect, you will cultivate with me for a period of time."

"Master, I plan to go to the Three Domains Blood Arena for training!"

As Gu Yuan spoke, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

He lost the battle on the battlefield of ascending to heaven.

But he didn't find it hard to accept; instead, he had boundless longing for the future.

Having an opponent like the Nine-Dragon Brahma is never a hopeless situation.

If there's a gap, then make up for it.

Whether we can catch up or not is another matter, but we should at least try.

Consolidating one's cultivation can be done within the sect or in the Three Domains Blood Arena.

Looking at the spirited Gu Yuan, Lan Tian smiled bitterly.

I don't know if this brat planned it with his aunt or what, but their tone and behavior are exactly the same.

Fine, fine, go if you want!

What can I do?

"Can!"

Lan Tian nodded.

"By the way, where's Lan Mengren? Why isn't she with you?"

As if he had thought of something, Lan Tian asked a question.

"Junior Sister said she wants to stay on the Heavenly Ascension Battlefield!"

"If she wants to stay here, then let her stay. Why did you have to come and tell me?"

Lan Tian stared at Gu Yuan and suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

Why does my eldest apprentice look so troubled?

No... why is it difficult for him?

Could it be... that something happened to Meng'er?

There's no reason for it!

I saw the Soul Lamp before I came here!

"Master, why don't you go and take a look yourself?"

Under the watchful eye of the blue sky, Gu Yuan was starting to feel the strain.

Junior sister, you'd better pray for yourself!

"Take a look for yourself?"

Lan Tian was a little confused, but in the end he followed Gu Yuan to Zhou Tian Realm.

......

Zhou Tianjie, Tiandu.

The atmosphere in the ordinary courtyard was somewhat somber.

The three men sat awkwardly around the table.

Lan Tian sat alone, his face expressionless and silent.

As fathers, we will all eventually face this day, but when it comes, how many of us can remain calm?

What's more, his own woman had found such a thing!

He didn't look down on Chen Kui because of his poor background, nor did he look down on Chen Kui because of his terrible cultivation level.

But the problem is... this little bastard actually embraced chaos.

As a member of the Celestial Clan, no one understood what this meant better than him.

If it were somewhere else, or if he were in a different identity, he would have killed Chen Kui a thousand times over.

Gu Yuan wisely lowered his head to count the ants, regardless of whether they existed or not, he simply pointed out that one of them was nonexistent.

As for Chen Kui, he had to grit his teeth and bear the pressure that Lan Tian brought him.

There's nothing we can do, there's really nothing we can do.

How could he have imagined that the woman he casually saved back then was the daughter of the Heavenly Sect Master?

How could he have imagined that the daughter of the Heavenly Sect Master would return to the Zhou Tian Realm with him after the great battle?

How could a bachelor over a thousand years old refuse such sudden concern?

Although he has not done anything out of line over the decades, that does not mean he dislikes Lanmeng.

"Dad, try my cooking, scrambled eggs with tomatoes."

The arrival of Lanmeng broke the silence.

Lan Tian glared at Chen Kui, after all, no father could bear to see his daughter serving others.

However, in front of Lan Meng, Lan Tian still gave her face and looked away.

When Lan Tian saw the scrambled eggs with tomatoes in the bowl, which looked like black sesame paste, his eyes trembled slightly.

This thing... can it be scrambled eggs with tomatoes?

Although I've never eaten it, this thing can't even be considered a dish!

"Meng'er, you don't need to work so hard, let's go out to eat!"

A smile appeared on Lan Tian's face.

"Father, you underestimate me again."

Although my scrambled eggs with tomatoes didn't look very appealing, they tasted really good.

"Chen Kui can eat three large bowls of rice with just this one dish!"

Lan Meng's expression was genuine and undeniably authentic.

"Is it really that delicious? I definitely want to try it!"

Lan Tian also became interested, picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful, and put it in his mouth.

Then... he felt his tongue being bitten.

The full spectrum of flavors—sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy—is vividly expressed in a single dish.

"tasty!"

Lan Tian swallowed hard and mumbled something against his conscience.

"Then you guys eat, I'll continue cooking!"

After Lan Meng left, Lan Tian glared at Chen Kui with eyes blazing with anger, "How could you lie and say this awful food is delicious?"

You smooth-talking bastard, believe me or not, I'll kill you right now.

Chen Kui didn't answer, but directly scooped up a spoonful and put it in his mouth.

"Uncle Lan, this is much better than before!"

Under the blue sky's gaze, Chen Kui finished showing off a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

This applies not only to this dish, but to every dish that follows.

In the end, Lan Tian and Lan Meng didn't get to eat a single bite of food.

That night, the group went to a restaurant.

Three months passed in this way, and Lantian was completely convinced.

Chen Kui is indeed a ruthless guy.
