Chapter 456 Goodbye Zhang Bairen

Among the powerful incarnation masters of Danshan Sect, the most famous one is naturally Chu Ning.

When mentioning Danshan Sect and the powerful gods, the first person that comes to everyone's mind is Chu Ning.

Is that the one?

These powerful people on the Hidden Dragon List are not sure.

Because they were busy with breakthroughs and challenging others during this period, they did not pay enough attention to the spiritual network. In addition, when Chu Ning left the Danshan Sect's mountain gate this time, only someone mentioned it on the spiritual network, which did not cause much waves. These people did not know about this at all.

On the island.

Lu Dong felt the pressure. The invisible pressure made it impossible for him to lift his whole body. The next moment he was about to crawl on the ground.

Veins bulged on Lu Dong's face and the spiritual energy in his body was running wildly, trying to resist the pressure.

Unfortunately, it didn't work.

Seeing that his head was about to be pressed to the ground, Lu Dong's face showed reluctance and humiliation, but the next moment, the pressure dissipated.

"Let's go."

Chu Ning's faint voice was heard in the cabin.

Yu Qing was stunned for a moment, then reacted and controlled the boat to continue moving forward. However, before the boat had traveled a hundred meters, a figure came at a high speed from the distant sky.

A powerful incarnation! Seeing the person coming, Lu Dong stood up with excitement on his face.

"You are such a fool. You just said you were coming. I thought you would come by flying boat, but I didn't expect you to come by boat. You seem quite leisurely."

Lu Sizhong appeared above the river, his eyes locked directly on Chu Ning in the cabin, and the next moment his figure appeared on the deck.

"If you don't take a good look at the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Central Region, you may never have the chance to see them again."

Chu Ning's reply was heard from inside the cabin, and Lu Dong and other Nascent Soul masters could hear it clearly.

"It's really Senior Chu."

The expressions of the Nascent Soul experts present became excited. Despite what they had said before, they felt that Senior Chu had become desolate and a thing of the past.

But thirty years ago, he was still an idol in the eyes of many of them and a legend in the Central Region.

Even if I didn't see the person, just hearing the voice would make me excited, and this excitement was even difficult to control.

Only now do they understand that although the legend has faded, it still exists.

As long as Senior Chu is alive, no one in the entire Central Region will be able to surpass his brilliance.

"What's going on?"

Lu Sizhong entered the cabin and looked at Chu Ning: "Did these youngsters offend you?"

"It's nothing. I just happened to be passing by and saw these youngsters sparring with each other. I tempered their temper a little."

Chu Ning smiled faintly. Lu Sizhong swept his spiritual sense and found Lu Dong. He roughly understood what was going on.

"You bastard!"

Lu Sizhong's eyes widened, and a slap appeared and hit Lu Dong's back of the head hard, causing Lu Dong to stagger and come into close contact with the ground.

"Don't you know the relationship between Chu Ning and I? How dare you block my way!"

"Sixth Uncle, I... I didn't know Senior Chu was on this ship. I... I thought he was just a Jindan disciple of Danshan Sect."

Lu Sizhong was stunned for a moment, looked at Chu Ning, and then slapped him again.

"You can bully the Jindan disciples of Danshan Sect. What's the relationship between you, my uncle, and Chu Ning? You still dare to attack the people of Danshan Sect? Go back and put them in solitary confinement for ten years."

Lu Dong, who had just climbed up, fell to the ground again and did not dare to argue anymore. He was afraid that if he did, his sixth uncle would slap him again.

The ship continued to move forward.

Lu Dong and others could only watch the ship leave, and no one dared to say a word.

"Humph, what a useless thing."

Lu Sizhong curled his lips. Lu Dong was his nephew. Although he was not born in his direct lineage, he was still close to him.

"When you were the same age as him, you might not have had his strength." Chu Ning said with a smile.

"Don't pretend to be a good person at this time. If you really like these little guys, would you do this?"

Lu Sizhong sat down opposite Chu Ning and said, "How can I not understand you? I'm afraid you are fed up with these little guys."

"It's not that I can't stand it, but this generation of young people grows up too fast and lacks sedimentation."

Chu Ning sighed softly. There has been a major change in the top 100 of the Hidden Dragon List. All the Nascent Soul masters on the list are newly emerged. It can be said that their growth rate is extremely fast.

But it is precisely because the growth rate is so fast that he seems more like a lucky person who has hit the jackpot.

People who get lucky can easily become elated and forget themselves.

This is true for Lu Dong, Lan Wensu, and other geniuses on the Hidden Dragon List.

Too impatient.

Could it be that the people on their Hidden Dragon List really didn't have the strength to challenge the person in front of them?

Of course there are.

If you want to challenge yourself, you should have the confidence that you can beat the previous one every few years. As for whether you can do it or not, that is another matter.

But this session has so many strong people from the previous sessions of the Hidden Dragon List, and they never challenge each other so frequently. Except for the top ten, they will not compete for a gap of one or two places.

If they want to challenge, they are almost always confident that they can leapfrog five or even ten places before taking on the challenge.

"That's true. If we rely on these little guys to compete with the geniuses from the outside world, we will probably suffer a great loss."

Lu Sizhong expressed his approval.

Yu Qing, who was in charge of driving the boat, was shocked when listening to the conversation between the two. Only the eldest senior brother and the young master of the Lu family would dare to speak like this.

In their eyes, the strong ones on the Hidden Dragon List were described as impatient and incompetent.

"Do you know the situation in other realms?"

Chu Ning was a little curious. Lu Sizhong pondered for a moment and said: ""

"The geniuses of the younger generation in other realms also used up our accumulation of almost 200 years in just 30 years. However, the geniuses of the younger generation in the outer realms are geniuses in themselves, not newcomers."

In Lu Sizhong's opinion, those geniuses in the outside world who have obtained good fortune and opportunities are already the top ones, and their temperaments will not be too impetuous.

…

…

Chu Ning and Lu Sizhong went to the Lu family and stayed there for a month.

In addition to Lu Sizhong accompanying Chu Ning, Tong Shouxian and Zhang Ji also came. Almost all of Chu Ning's good friends in Danyu showed up.

Everyone tacitly agreed not to ask about Chu Ning's recent situation, because the Saint Master had already given the conclusion that Chu Ning had burned 1,700 years of his life.

A strong person in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm has a lifespan of about five thousand years, while Chu Ning is in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm and has a lifespan of only three thousand years.

Having burned through 1,700 years of his life, combined with Chu Ning's current age, he only has about a hundred years left to live.

A hundred years is not too long for a strong person in the Spirit Transformation Realm.

The most important thing is that Chu Ning's vitality is declining, and it is impossible for him to break through to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and his lifespan will no longer increase.

Everyone at Lu's house talked about alchemy and some interesting things. When Chu Ning left, there were a lot of elixirs in his storage bag.

They are all high-level elixirs that increase vitality and prolong life.

This was a gift from Lu Sizhong and others, and Chu Ning was very touched and accepted it.

Then, with everyone's gazes watching him, he left the Lu family and headed for his next destination: the Demon Slayer Realm.

Demon-slaying Realm, Infinite Sword Mountain.

When that senior came to support me, I had to visit him and meet Jiang Zuo.

The most important thing is to see if I can replenish some spiritual swords for myself.

After all, I don't have much time left to live, and I think Wuliang Jianshan should understand me and fulfill my last wish.

…

Ten years later.

Chu Ning left Wuliangjian Mountain very satisfied.

This time, the senior Jian Chi was very easy to talk to, and he took as many spiritual swords as he could.

Chu Ning did not let Senior Jian Chi down. He gathered a million flying swords and waved goodbye under Senior Jian Chi's thoughtful gaze.

Jinglan Territory, Taiyuan Territory...

Chu Ning visited each of his old friends one by one in a very low-key manner, and finally bid farewell to them reluctantly.

Unfortunately, I didn’t get to meet Zhao Qin.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

…

For the last stop, Chu Ning chose Chengshan Territory.

Chu Ning did not hide his whereabouts. When they knew that Chu Ning was going back to Chengshan Region, many cultivators on the spiritual network who were still following Chu Ning's movements all sighed.

When you get old, it’s time to return to your hometown.

It is very likely that Senior Chu’s trip back to Chengshan Region is a return to his roots.

Once I leave, I’m afraid I’ll never return to the Central Region.

…

Chengshan area.

After these years of development, it has ranked eighth among the sixty lower domains.

There are nine powerful masters who have reached the stage of Spirit Transformation, and among them there is one cultivator in the middle stage of Spirit Transformation.

This powerful mid-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator came from Guiyuan Sect. Guiyuan Sect began to rise slowly five hundred years ago. From having one Nascent Soul cultivator at the beginning to now having one mid-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator and one early-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator, the sect is already top-notch in terms of the combat power of its Spirit Transformation cultivators.

But in Chengshan Region, the recognized largest sect is still Xiyue Sect.

Although Guiyuan Sect only has two powerful early-stage Jinhua masters, it has twelve Nascent Soul cultivators. However, in the eyes of all the cultivators in Chengshan Domain, Xiyue Sect is the largest sect. It has nothing to do with the number of powerful masters in the sect, but only has to do with one person.

Senior Chu Ning Chu! As long as Senior Chu is alive, Xiyue Sect's position as the largest sect in Chengshan Region will be unshakable.

…

Guiyuan Sect.

"Master, Senior Chu has returned to Chengshan Territory. Should we go and pay him a visit?"

"Senior Chu has done a great favor to my Chengshan Region, so naturally I have to pay my respects to him."

The leader and elders of Guiyuan Sect did not show any joy on their faces. The return of Senior Chu was not a good thing for Guiyuan Sect.

The return of Senior Chu will surely cause the reputation of Xiyue Sect to skyrocket.

"No need to think so much. It's a good thing that Senior Chu returns to Chengshan Region. Then Qianshi and I can go to Xiyue Sect together."

An old voice was heard, and Guiyuan Sect's Sect Master Guan Qianshi quickly responded. Since the sect's supreme elder had spoken, he, as the sect master, did not dare to object.

…

…

Xiyue Sect.

On the third day after Chu Ning returned to Chengshan Region, the leader of Xiyue Sect reported that two great elders of Guiyuan Sect who had reached the state of incarnation came to pay a visit.

"Let them in."

"Senior Chu, I am afraid that the people coming from Guiyuan Sect may have other intentions."

The leader of Xiyue Sect was a little worried. Logically speaking, Guiyuan Sect was the one that least wanted to see Senior Chu come back. But when other sects hadn't made any move yet, they were the first to take the initiative to come and pay a visit to Senior Chu. This seemed a little strange.

Two powerful gods came together. Is it possible that they came to put pressure on Senior Chu? After all, Senior Chu doesn't have much time left.

The cultivators in Chengshan Region were always paying attention to Chu Ning's movements. They also knew about the three battles that Chu Ning had fought at the gate of Danshan Sect.

Chu Ning did not reply, and the leader of Xiyue Sect knew that he had spoken out of turn. Who is Senior Chu? How could he not guess these things?

"I spoke out of turn. I will go and invite them in right away."

Watching the Xiyue Sect's leader's departing figure, Chu Ning whispered in his heart, "Everything that rises to the top must decline. In a place like the Lower Domain, it's already pretty good for a sect to be glorious for a thousand years. The Xiyue Sect is also beginning to go downhill."

Because of himself and Tang Ruowei, the Xiyue Sect has developed rapidly in Chengshan Region in recent years and has encountered almost no opponents. Even if other sects are dissatisfied with the Xiyue Sect, they will endure it. This has led to the high-level leaders of the Xiyue Sect becoming slack and lacking the grasp and speculation of people's hearts.

If Guiyuan Sect really wanted to test their situation, there was no need to be so anxious. On the contrary, the first person from Guiyuan Sect came to reveal a message to the outside world.

The Guiyuan Sect respected him very much and had no intention of challenging the Xiyue Sect for being the largest sect.

Regardless of whether the two powerful gods of Guiyuan Sect really think so, at least that is their attitude on the surface.

A quarter of an hour later.

The two gods of transformation, accompanied by a gods of transformation from Xiyue Sect, came to the mountain where Chu Ning lived.

As for the leader of Guiyuan Sect, he could only accompany the leader of Xiyue Sect and stay at the foot of the mountain. Without Chu Ning's permission, the two were not qualified to go up the mountain gate.

An hour later, the two powerful gods of Guiyuan Sect left Xiyue Sect. In the next few days, the powerful men from all the sects in Chengshan Region came to Xiyue Sect to pay homage to Chu Ning.

After the strong men from various factions, all the young geniuses in Chengshan Territory also wanted to meet Chu Ning.

Chu Ning did not put on airs. When he met the rising stars in Chengshan Domain, he gave some elixirs to encourage these young geniuses.

A month later, Xiyue Sect announced to the public that Chu Ning would no longer receive guests and that everyone was not allowed to come to Xiyue Sect again.

"No wonder in my previous life, people always paid attention to returning home in glory and returning to their roots. When I returned to Chengshan Territory and faced these young people, I really felt like I was facing my own children and nephews."

Chu Ning felt a little emotional. During this period of time, when he met these young talents in Chengshan Territory, he felt the love and care that an elder would have for the outstanding younger generation in his own family.

"It seems that I have already accepted in my heart that Chengshan Territory is my hometown."

After refusing everyone's greetings, Chu Ning began his retreat in Xiyue Sect. The reason why he chose Xiyue Sect instead of Danshan Sect was, on the one hand, to give everyone the feeling that he did not have much time left and chose to grow old in Chengshan Region, and also to avoid the right and wrong in the Central Region.

The great era is coming, and the Central Region is bound to be in turmoil again. Hiding in Chengshan Region is more leisurely, and no one will keep thinking about you.

…

…

Zifu Academy.

Xuanhuang Road.

Chu Ning stopped.

For so many years, he has been walking on the Xuanhuang Road, and he doesn't even know how far he has walked. But now, it seems that he has reached the end of this Xuanhuang Road.

At the end, a halo appeared.

A quarter of an hour later, Chu Ning approached the halo and his expression became strange.

The halo was emitted by the disc, and on top of the disc, there was a figure sitting cross-legged.

A middle-aged man with his eyes closed.

The most important thing is that he still knows this middle-aged man.

Zhang Bairen, whom he hadn't seen for many years, was the duo who once supported the Wenjin Sect together with him.

I didn't expect to see it here.
