Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 424 Waiting for the Wind to Rise
At Diancui Mountain, amidst the rising and falling sea of ​​mist, Jiang Chen sat alone before the precipice, observing the ever-changing mist.

"Still not working?"

Jiang Chen frowned, a vague understanding dawning on him, but he was still missing a crucial opportunity.

He was quite certain that Daoist Yuangang must have left something at this Diancui Mountain, most likely related to the ancient Qi cultivation method, but he had not yet truly grasped the meaning behind it.

"I wonder what kind of method Senior Yuan Gang left behind here. It seems to have no direct connection with the Primordial Dragon Whale Transformation that made him famous."

As the thought crossed his mind, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a bit curious about the magic that Daoist Yuan Gang had left behind at Diancui Mountain.

"Perhaps I'm just waiting for the right opportunity."

Withdrawing his gaze, Jiang Chen stopped pressuring the matter. Although he was very interested in the legacy left by Daoist Yuan Gang, it wasn't to the point where he absolutely had to have it.

Just then, Hongyu's figure appeared quietly.

"Young Master, Senior Sister Ge Ziling has come to visit."

With a gentle voice, Hongyu softly reported.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected Ge Ziling to come knocking on his door at this time.

"Take me to see him."

After a moment's hesitation, Jiang Chen stood up.

Soon, Jiang Chen met Ge Ziling again at Yingkelou.

His figure was round, and his unremarkable face was adorned with a smile, showing that he hadn't changed at all.

However, Jiang Chen, with his powerful soul, noticed her subtle changes.

"The fierce aura has weakened considerably. It seems that Senior Sister Ge's cultivation has made some breakthroughs."

A glint flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes, and he had a guess in his mind.

Because he had a lot of contact with Ge Ziling before, he had some understanding of the cultivation methods she practiced.

The Thousand Hearts and One Aperture Spirit Control Method is one of the twelve true methods of the Impermanence Sect. It also possesses some of the profound mysteries of the True Scripture of the Great Void and the Nine Revolutions to Sainthood Great Method, making it quite remarkable.

Although the initial advantage is not obvious, once the cultivation is successful, the combat power is often extremely strong among those of the same level.

In the past history of the Impermanence Sect, there was once a great master who practiced this method and raised hundreds of thousands of gold-devouring insects.

When he fought with others, his swarms of insects would blot out the sky and leave no trace of vegetation in their wake. They were also extremely effective against all kinds of magical artifacts.

The most legendary thing is that he once damaged a Dao artifact with the power of a swarm of insects.

Although the artifact itself had some problems and was controlled by a Purple Mansion cultivator, it was still quite remarkable that he was able to do this.

After all, Dao artifacts carry Dao principles and are extraordinary. Unless one is a Celestial True Monarch, ordinary people cannot damage them and may even suffer backlash if they are not careful.

Of course, the law is here, but how well one ultimately cultivates it depends on the individual.

"Junior brother, you've become even more impressive since I last saw you."

A glint of surprise flashed in Ge Ziling's eyes as she watched Jiang Chen walk in.

Jiang Chen used to be very reserved, seemingly focused on cultivation and unwilling to get involved in trouble. But today, she sensed a sharp edge in Jiang Chen, like a sword drawn from its sheath.

At this moment, Ge Ziling's worries subsided considerably. She had a premonition that what she was asking for this time might go much more smoothly than expected.

"Senior sister, how have you been?"

With a smile on his face, Jiang Chen exuded gentleness.

Soon, the two began exchanging pleasantries, and during this process, Ge Ziling kept probing Jiang Chen's opinion on Xuan Jiaozi's upcoming attempt to become a true disciple.

"Senior Sister wants me to interrupt Xuan Jiaozi's advancement? I didn't expect Senior Sister to think so highly of me."

Having figured out Ge Ziling's purpose, Jiang Chen looked at Ge Ziling again, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words and meeting his gaze, Ge Ziling nodded solemnly.

“That’s right, junior brother. Neither I nor the Hidden Moon Pavilion behind me want to see Xuan Jiaozi advance to the True Disciple level.” “If junior brother is willing to help, I will offer…”

With a solemn expression, Ge Ziling was about to offer a series of conditions, but before she could finish speaking, Jiang Chen waved his hand to interrupt her.

Seeing Jiang Chen's actions, Ge Ziling's heart sank. She wasn't afraid of Jiang Chen setting conditions, but she was afraid that Jiang Chen had no intention of getting involved at all.

Just then, Jiang Chen's voice quietly rang in her ears.

"Senior sister, I've agreed to this. In fact, I would have taken action even if you hadn't said anything."

With a low voice, Jiang Chen gave his answer.

Upon hearing this, Ge Ziling was stunned. She had initially thought Jiang Chen was going to refuse, but unexpectedly…

"Junior brother has truly surprised me."

Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Ge Ziling's face immediately revealed a smile that came from the depths of her heart.

"It is Junior Brother's idea to deal with Xuan Jiaozi. In any case, now that Senior Sister has found Junior Brother, this treasure should be given to him. It should be of some use to Junior Brother."

As they spoke, Ge Ziling took out the Moon Soul Pearl.

At that moment, the moonlight shone brightly, filling the entire room, and a chilling atmosphere permeated the air.

Upon seeing this scene, Jiang Chen's gaze immediately shifted.

"Is this the Moon Soul Pearl?"

After a quick look, Jiang Chen recognized the origin of the Moon Soul Pearl.

Because he has a natural advantage in the path of the soul, he has always attached great importance to it.

Under such circumstances, he would naturally search for treasures related to the soul. He obtained information about the Moon Soul Pearl at that time, but the item was so precious that he had no way to exchange for it even if he wanted to.

Seeing that Jiang Chen recognized the Moon Soul Pearl, Ge Ziling's smile widened.

“Since you recognize this treasure, junior brother, then I don’t need to say anything more.”

"I'm giving this to my junior brother in the hope that it will be of some help to him."

With a push, Ge Ziling delivered the Moon Soul Pearl to Jiang Chen.

Hearing this, and seeing Ge Ziling's earnest and hopeful expression, Jiang Chen understood that she wanted to use this item to increase his chances of success.

"Thank you very much, Senior Sister. I will cut off Xuan Jiaozi's path to becoming a true disciple."

After a moment's hesitation, Jiang Chen accepted the Moon Soul Pearl, as this treasure was indeed of great use to him.

Seeing that Jiang Chen accepted the treasure, Ge Ziling finally felt relieved.

To be honest, although she was optimistic about Jiang Chen, she wasn't sure how confident Jiang Chen was in defeating Xuan Jiaozi.

"Junior brother, cultivate diligently. I await your good news."

Leaving behind a single sentence, Ge Ziling drifted away.

As Jiang Chen watched Ge Ziling leave, his thoughts drifted away.

"Hidden Moon Pavilion, the true disciple Fairy Cold Moon, this person is exceptionally talented. Although she rarely shows any signs of it, she is undoubtedly a strong person among the true disciples."

"Even before Gu Lingxiao showed her talent, many people thought she was the first true disciple."

Jiang Chen tapped his fingers on the table repeatedly, lost in thought.

Going with the flow, he accepted the Moon Soul Pearl partly to deepen his connection with Ge Ziling, or rather, Fairy Hanyue.

"Let's wait for the wind to rise."

With a single thought, Jiang Chen's figure vanished.
