I picked up the scattered attributes

However, at this moment, he strangely saw Lei Shao and Liu Chuanyuan. He wanted to shout for help. The three of them were old friends when they were young. They had sparred and discussed philosophy with each other, and had also roamed the martial arts world together, fighting against all kinds of opponents.

At that time, Qianqiu Valley and the Five Elements Sect had a close relationship and frequent interactions.

However, at some point, the relationship between the three gradually became distant.

Even today, the two sides are like oil and water, and they have become absolute enemies.

As if sensing his gaze, Lei Shao and Liu Chuanyuan were both taken aback. Lei Shao turned away, seemingly unable to bear seeing what was about to happen, while Liu Chuanyuan simply let out a cold snort.

puff-

A fine head fell to the ground, rolled a long way with a thud, and left a long trail of blood on the ground.

……

Chapter 0082

Xiao Chuqiu, the master of the Five Elements Sect, died.

A fine head rolled down and landed in front of the gate of Qianqiu Valley. Its eyes were wide open, as if it could not believe even in death that it had come with such sincerity, only to be cleanly and decisively killed by Feng Xia!

"Hey……"

Lei Shao suddenly sighed, a hint of desolation showing in his eyes.

Immediately, Liu Chuanyuan glared at him and shouted angrily, "Lei barbarian, are you going to soften your heart again at a time like this!"

"Soft-hearted? Of course not."

Lei Shao slowly closed his eyes, then opened them again, his eyes revealing unwavering determination: "Let's go, let's pay our respects to our master."

Seeing this scene, Feng Xia seemed to be deep in thought and unconsciously nodded slightly.

In any case, the calamity of Qianqiu Valley is over. Time continues to flow, and life must move forward.

This night.

Senior Brother Bai Canghai led the team back, but it was a pity that when they passed through a deep ravine, Junior Sister Ling Jieyu accidentally fell to the bottom of the ravine and was swept away by the raging mountain water. Her fate is still unknown.

"I will definitely take responsibility."

After returning to the sect, Bai Canghai muttered something that no one could understand, and then began his seclusion. Just three days later, he opened three divine wheels in succession, shocking the entire sect and becoming the youngest wheel-opening realm disciple among the younger generation of Qianqiu Valley!

Shortly after that, Bai Canghai came to visit Feng Xia.

"Senior Feng... no, Sect Leader, I have a question that I do not understand. I hope the Sect Leader can answer it."

“Go ahead and say it,” Feng Xia readily agreed.

"If you have always held a lofty goal in your heart, and you have been striving for it all along, only to find one day that the seemingly unattainable goal has been easily achieved by someone else overnight..."

At this point, Bai Canghai appeared somewhat dejected.

Compared to the spirited and proud young man he was when they first met, Bai Canghai now seems to have aged more than ten years, with a full beard and a weak voice when he speaks.

Grass.

I suspect you're alluding to me, and I have ample evidence to support it!

Feng Xia, who was drinking tea, almost choked on it. Then he realized that Bai Canghai had been agonizing over this matter ever since he returned to the sect!

Hey, you're awake.

The formidable Yuan Dan realm enemy has been wiped out, all the menacing foe has retreated, the precarious sect has been preserved, and the new number one in Xuanwu has become your sect leader.

Is there anything else you'd like to ask?

—He estimated that Bai Canghai's feelings were almost identical, even if not exactly like that.

For someone who has been determined to revive their sect since childhood and has been constantly striving for it, there is nothing more frustrating and disheartening than waking up to find that almost all of their goals have been achieved, while they have accomplished nothing.

"This guy is definitely suffering from the poison of a lack of inspirational quotes!"

Feng Xia stroked his chin, a thought suddenly popping into his mind: "In this world where supernatural beings are the mainstream, shouldn't this situation be called... an unstable Dao heart?"

He suddenly recalled something that seemed to have been mentioned by the old sect leader, Ji Qixi...

Elder Lei Shao may appear brave, but his Dao heart is flawed. In comparison, Elder Liu Chuanyuan's Dao heart is much more complete and perfect.

So here's the question: if inspirational quotes can solidify one's resolve...?

He could totally go into wholesale!

As a time traveler from the information explosion era, he can easily come up with dozens or even hundreds of inspirational quotes, whether they are strong or weak, inspirational or toxic.

At worst, one could say something like: "I'm currently in Canglan Mountain, just broke through to the Yuan Dan realm, and have many acquaintances in the circle, so I'll remain anonymous this time..."

"This idea might actually work!"

The more Feng Xia pondered it, the more promising it seemed. Perhaps if it were to take off, it could even create a completely new secondary profession, like alchemists or array masters.

Do you feel you've achieved your goal?

Thinking of this, Feng Xia smiled slightly and looked at Bai Canghai: "Or do you think that Qianqiu Valley is now invincible?"

Bai Canghai was slightly taken aback. He nodded subconsciously: "With you in charge now, no villain will dare to invade our sect!"

His words were truly sincere.

At the same time, Bai Canghai felt a little emotional. If he hadn't gone to the Forsaken Ancient Land and hadn't met Feng Xia, what kind of future would Qianqiu Valley have taken?

He had no way of knowing the answer.

"What if I leave?" Feng Xia suddenly said with a half-smile.

“But you just took over as the sect leader…” Bai Canghai was stunned.

"What if one day I suddenly go crazy and want to find the true meaning of life, and then disappear without a trace?"

"This……"

Bai Canghai imagined it for a moment.

If Feng Xia weren't here, the strongest people in Qianqiu Valley right now would undoubtedly be the First Elder and the Sixth Elder!

However, with only the First Elder and the Sixth Elder, even with the other four elders, it was already incredibly difficult to contend with the various external forces. If the imperial court were to launch a counterattack...

Bai Canghai suddenly shuddered.

"So, you should understand one thing."

Feng Xia pointed to Bai Canghai's feet, his expression serious. At this moment, he was not fighting alone; countless influential figures were connected to him.

"Qianqiu Valley is only at the very beginning of its development. Compared to its heyday seven hundred years ago, it is still quite a distance away, not to mention..."

Having said that, Feng Xia pointed to the sky again: "Do you think that Xuanwu Kingdom is the only country in the world right now? As the saying goes, there are always people more capable than you, and there are always higher heavens beyond the heavens. Have you ever seen the outside world? Do you know what kind of powerful figures are out there?"

Actually, I don't know either.jpg

But that doesn't stop Feng Xia from bragging—that's how it's written in those novels anyway.

"Above the sky... beyond Xuanwu Kingdom... the outside world..."

Bai Canghai listened in a daze. His eyes, which had been somewhat lifeless, gradually regained a faint light. At a certain moment, his chest heaved as he took a deep breath.

"Sect Leader, I understand."

"Tell me, what did you understand?"

Feng Xia turned around with her hands behind her back and a smile on her face.

At this moment, Bai Canghai finally shed his previous dejection and regained some of the graceful demeanor he had when they first met, as well as his unparalleled talent!

"A single conversation with you is worth more than ten years of study."

Bai Canghai answered sincerely, "I suddenly realized that this world is far more vast than I have seen. This battle is not the end, but just a new beginning."

"Very good, is there anything else you'd like to say?" Feng Xia nodded in satisfaction.

"Therefore, I want to become stronger than before. Staying on this land is definitely not enough. I must leave here and go to the outer heavens to find my own opportunity!"

Feng Xia's face darkened.

What kind of rubbish did you get in reading comprehension this time?!

Do you mean you want to go to heaven?

……

To be honest, I hesitated for a while about whether to offer a bounty...

However, considering that the lucky bag promotion just ended, opening them sooner might still have some effect.

In short, based on a guaranteed minimum of 2 updates per day, 100 blades will get you 1 update, 10000 tips will get you 1 update, 100 monthly tickets will get you 1 update...

No cap for now

Today's rewards: 56 blades, 16088 tips, 37 monthly tickets (these will also be included).

But then again, it seems like I would have added more chapters even without the reward...

Well, everyone says that a book author's life is incomplete if they haven't opened a bounty, or at least they have to pretend they have!

Chapter 0083

In fact, the moment Bai Canghai spoke, Feng Xia had a vague premonition that the scene before him seemed somewhat familiar.
