Chen Changan chuckled and took the item in the end. “I accept your goodwill, Brother Mo.”

 

Then he asked,  “What will you be doing now?”

 

“Ha-ha, join the disciple contest four days later, naturally. I want to showcase my talent and become his disciple.”

 

Chen Changan eyed Mo Wentian. His Qi Refining cultivation was the lowest among all the geniuses around.

 

Moreover, the disciple contest had freaks joining in, Immortal Domain geniuses.

 

He had little hope for Mo Wentian winning it. Then again, Mo Wentian had plenty of aces, that might give him a real chance of doing the impossible.

 

Nevertheless, Chen Changan’s setup of the Trial Tower wouldn’t give them an easy time passing it.

 

He didn’t stop Mo Wentian though, and patted his shoulder, “I believe in you.”

 

Mo Wentian’s confidence surged.

 

Fa Tian killed him only yesterday, but it failed to crush his spirit.

 

“Brother Jiang, now you know that I lied to you and can’t help you meet the supreme existence. What are your plans?”

 

“Me?” Chen Changan chuckled. “I still have so stuff to do and should leave Glorious Heaven City.”

 

“You won’t join the contest, Brother Jiang?”

 

“There’s no point, not with my strength. Besides, I’m not interested.”

 

“Alright.” Mo Wentian sighed.

 

He hoped to travel the Myriad Mountains with Chen Changan, but he was also worried that Fa Tian would find him out and kill them both.

 

If anything, Mo Wentian planned on doing everything he could to avoid that possibility for the next four days.

 

While he did want Chen Changan to join him, he didn’t want to be the reason for his demise either.

 

Mo Wentian didn’t push Chen Changan to join him.

 

He was going to use the four days he had left to cultivate hard in the Immortal Land.

 

Moreover, that old Immortal Emperor in his mind needed the land’s power just as much, if not more. Mo Wentian believed the old man’s strength was far more reliable than all the secret items on him.

 

Chen Changan watched him go and dispelled his avatar from Glorious Heaven City.

 

In Eternity Temple, Chen Changan woke up and walked out into the garden.

 

Bai Yue was still cultivating Tai Chi. With the disciple contest around the corner, she was doubly focused on improving her strength.

 

She paused upon seeing him and greeted him. “Bai Yue, how is cultivation?”

 

“Master, it’s going really fast. I”ve also been focused on practicing Master’s art, Tai Chi, these days. The secret art is incredible. I’m sure that once I Master it, winning the disciple contest won’t be a problem.”

 

Chen Changan chuckled. “The Trial Tower has eighteen floors. Clearing it won’t be easy.”

 

Despite setting it up, he had nothing to go on as to its exact level. There were no testers as of yet.

 

[Who should test it?]

 

[Bai Yue?]

 

Chen Changan pondered. [I’ll know when the contest starts, I guess.]

 

Bai Yue had a soft voice, a unique fragrance around her, like a lone orchid in a valley.

 

The swaying tail urged one to play with it.

 

Chen Changan sighed to himself, amazed at how things turned out, with her as his disciple.

 

[It might’ve led to something if she wasn’t my disciple.]

 

A much deeper and closer understanding.

 

[No, bad thoughts! She might be pretty as a flower but she’s your disciple, man!]

 

[A Master shouldn’t think of her disciple like that.]

 

Bai Yue grew nervous under his stare, blushing, and shyly asking, “Master, what are you looking at?”

 

Chen Changan was feeling awkward. [The trip to Scarlet Lounge must’ve given me too many ideas.]

 

He cleared his throat. “I’ve met Fa Tian last night.”

 

Bai Yue blinked, “He’s in Myriad Mountains, Master?”

 

“Yes, he came at me, so I set him straight. He must be licking his wounds somewhere, I reckon.”

 

Bai Yue was stunned. She couldn’t believe Fa Tian would go as far as targeting Chen Changan when even his Dao Protector, Immortal Lord Shen Wu died at Chen Changan’s hand.

 

How could Fa Tian fare any better?

 

It was madness.

 

“Bai Yue, how are things between you and him, being from the same Immortal Domain and all?”

 

“Opposites.”

 

Bai Yue said. “And it’s not just us two, all the geniuses on Black Tortoise Immortal Domain are in opposition. Between me and Fa Tian, at least, this is the most predominant situation.

 

“I fought him many times in the Black Tortoise Immortal Domain, but he always won in the end.”

 

Bai Yue sighed as those feeble times came to mind, the helplessness, the weakness. She wanted to put it all behind her and never lose to Fa Tian ever again.

 

Losing this contest to Fa Tian meant having lost for good, and she would have no right to vie for the Immortal Domain Ruler position with Fa Tian.

 

“Bai Yue, I believe in you.” Chen Changan woke her up from her dark thoughts.

 

“Thank you, Master.”
