One person: Orochi, starting with Feng Baobao's Eight Heroes.

“Master Lu, I’ve already suffered enough because of a Qi Body Source Flow technique that I’ve never seen before. This Tongtian Talisman is on par with the Qi Body Source Flow technique. It’s a treasure in other people’s eyes, but in my eyes it’s just a nuisance!”

"For me, being able to return to Longhu Mountain is already the greatest reward!"

Zhang Chulan smiled brightly as he spoke.

"Ha ha!"

Upon hearing this, the old celestial master suddenly laughed.

"Hehe, sigh, this child, what kind of situation is this? So I took out the Tongtian Talisman for nothing, and now I have to take it back?"

Lu Jin also sighed with a smile.

"Since you've already taken it out, why take it back? How about giving me this Heavenly Scroll instead? Senior Lu? Old Celestial Master? What do you think?"

A figure appeared beside Lu Jin.

"Ok?"

Lu Jin felt his hand loosen, and Chen Qi appeared in front of him without him noticing, taking the Tongtian Lu that Lu Jin had handed over.

Chen Qi held the Tongtian Talisman in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on the Old Celestial Master.

"Old Lu, these things should be passed on to the younger generation. Since Zhang Chulan, who came in first place, doesn't want them, I think we should give them to Chen Qi, who came in second!"

The old master spoke with a flickering expression...

This was something he and Chen Qi had known about for a long time.

"Hehe, alright then, it seems I can't keep this Tongtian Talisman either. Chen Qi, you can have it!"

Lu Jin was quite carefree.

During that meeting, he and the Old Celestial Master understood what Chen Qi wanted, and they even guessed what would happen today from his words, so they didn't dwell on it.

They directly and openly clarified the ownership of the Tongtianlu.

"This grand Luotian ritual has now come to a successful conclusion. As for the succession of the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, that is a matter for our Celestial Master's Mansion to handle!"

"Thank you again to all our friends from the Extraordinary People community and the younger generation for your strong support and participation!"

"Over the next few days, you can explore the scenery around Longhu Mountain. We will have a dedicated guide who will lead you on a tour of Longhu Mountain from an extraordinary perspective!"

"Please!"

The Old Celestial Master's announcement signified the complete end of this Luo Tian Grand Ritual.

"Let's go, let's go!"

"I never expected Zhang Chulan to actually become the champion!"

"Zhi Jinhua, you must have made a lot of money from your betting platform, right?"

"I've explored the entire Longhu Mountain area these past few days!"

"I'll book a flight for tomorrow morning!"

"I'm planning to go down the mountain and buy some local specialties from Shanxi!"

"Now that I'm in Shanxi, my family wants me to go to Mount Wutai to pay my respects to Master Zhiguang!"

"Let's go, let's go..."

All the supernatural beings in the stands began to leave one after another.

Have you observed everything carefully?

Xu Si asked quietly into his earpiece.

"That's about it. There are probably more than 70 unidentified strange people mixed in with the 3.9, and they should all be in disguise!"

"A strange man with glowing eyes spoke from a distant mountaintop."

"This method must be Domain Painting Poison. That guy was only released from prison by Brother Qi less than half a year ago, and he's already causing trouble again, right?"

Xu San said.

"Never mind them, let's lock them down first. We should have enough manpower. At the same time, organize a perimeter at the foot of the mountain. I have a feeling that this is more than just a small-scale attack. Fortunately, we should have enough manpower!"

Xu Sidao.

"yes..."

Elegant attic room

"The Celestial Master told me to go to the main hall of the Celestial Master's Mansion tonight; he wants to bestow upon me the Celestial Master's ordination..."

Zhang Chulan frowned and said to everyone.

"We'll go with you!"

Feng Baobao immediately said.

(I had another surgery during the day, thankfully it was on my leg bones, and my hand wasn't injured much. The anesthesia wore off a long time ago, and I'm feeling pretty good right now. Typing helps distract me from the pain...)

Chapter 110 Transmission of the Ordination!

"Chu Lan, is there anything you're worried about?"

Chen Qi asked the question knowing the answer already.

"No, not really. After all, the master will tell me the whole truth after the ordination... It's just that I feel the master seems more anxious than I am. At noon, Master Tian clearly said that I didn't need to rush to become the master, that the master was in good health..."

Zhang Chulan naturally had doubts.

"So, the old Celestial Master is so eager to pass on the Celestial Master position to you? That's understandable, isn't it? Once you become the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, no one will dare to lay a hand on you!"

Xu Si said.

"Maybe that's part of the reason, but I still feel like we're in too much of a rush!"

Zhang Chulan couldn't figure out what was wrong, but he keenly sensed something was amiss.

"And what is your decision?"

Chen Qi walked over and took Feng Baobao's hand, but felt the force of her grip. He couldn't help but gently pat her hand in silent comfort.

Chen Duo, who was standing next to her, also noticed her sister's unease, anticipation and other complex emotions, and came over to hold Feng Baobao's other hand.

"I've decided to accept the Heavenly Master's ordination... I must know the truth about my grandfather, the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, and what happened back then!"

Zhang Chulan's expression flickered for a moment before suddenly becoming resolute.

"Okay, it's good that you've made up your mind. No matter what, we'll be there for you, 06!"

Chen Qi nodded.

"Um..."

Looking at Chen Qi, Feng Baobao, Chen Duo, Xu San, and Xu Si in front of him, Zhang Chulan felt incredibly warm inside, and at the same time, boundless courage rose within him.

"Let's go get something to eat first. We've finally finished everything. After Chu Lan receives the initiation, let's explore Jiangxi properly before heading back!"

Xu Si's words immediately put everyone at ease.

夜晚

At the entrance of the main hall of the Celestial Master's Mansion

Chen Qi, Chen Duo, Feng Baobao, Xu San, and Xu Si accompanied Zhang Chulan and waited there early in the morning.

"Ugh, I'm exhausted. We've finally seen most of them off. Honestly, we should have let them have a couple more days of fun. The Celestial Master's Mansion rarely gets to have a few lively days like this!"

quickly

The old Celestial Master, along with Rong Shan and two grand-disciples, personally pushed Tian Jinzhong over.

"Oh, Chu Lan, I told you there's no need to rush. And you, Senior Brother, why are you all in such a hurry!"

Tian Jinzhong was pushed over and spoke to Zhang Chulan.

"Ring ring ring~~"

Just then, Xu Si's phone rang.

"Hello... Really... Okay... Got it... We'll go arrange it!"

After saying a few words, Xu Si hung up the phone and looked at everyone, saying:

"Brother Qi, we need to leave for a bit. You guys stay here with Chu Lan!"

Xu Si said to Chen Qi.

Go ahead without worry!

Chen Qi nodded.

"Master, then we'll take our leave!"

Xu Si and Xu San looked at the old Celestial Master together again.

"Ok!"

The old celestial master nodded calmly.

Then they watched as Xu San and Xu Si quickly left.

"Old Master, Elder Tian has difficulty moving around. How about I go and watch over him tonight?"

Chen Qi looked at the old Celestial Master.

"Hehe, you're very thoughtful, child. But we Longhu Mountain can still protect our elders, and you probably won't have a peaceful night... Rongshan, you stay and protect your Uncle Tian!"

The old master chuckled.

"Yes!"

Rongshan immediately nodded solemnly.

"Me? Would I?"

Chen Qi raised an eyebrow.

Chen Qi didn't believe that Quanxing would come after him again, after all, he had once killed Wang Bing in front of five of the Ten Elders.

"Never underestimate the heroes of the world... Human nature is the most complex thing; no matter how strong one is, one will always face constant challenges and tests..."

The old Taoist master shook his head.

"Really? What about you, Celestial Master? Longhu Mountain has been peaceful for the past few decades!"

Chen Qi asked curiously.

"Hehe, that's just what you guys know. Putting aside everything else, those Ten Elders alone have tested me openly and secretly many times over the years, and the Quanxing sect has also gathered people to ambush some of my disciples!"

The old Heavenly Master smiled.

"...That's true. The old Celestial Master's unparalleled reputation, accumulated over decades, has gained increasing recognition over time, but it has also faded with time. It's truly a paradox!"

Chen Qi suddenly realized.

Building a reputation takes time. Even an invincible person cannot gain universal recognition unless they remain invincible for ten or twenty years.

However, if someone remains invincible for too long, a new generation or those who are unwilling to accept defeat will begin to doubt them and may even be tempted to test them.

For example, people might think that the Celestial Master is getting old, or that he used to exaggerate too much, etc. In short, his invincible image from the past will gradually fade over time.

This feeling of fame growing stronger over time, yet also becoming increasingly blurred over time, is quite contradictory.

"What matters is not time. As Xiao Wang of Wudang said, time is merely a unit for measuring changes in things. Therefore, these changes have nothing to do with time, but rather with the human heart..."

The old celestial master explained.

“Teach me!”

Chen Qi nodded.

"Alright, Rongshan, take your Uncle Tian back to rest. Chu Lan, come in with me, I will personally pass on my initiation to you!"

Master Tian said.

"...yes!"
