Jiang Wang stayed at the Chong Xuan family compound for another night.

He said he was staying, but after refusing Chong Xuan Laifu’s eager “arrangements” again, it was just borrowing a room to cultivate for a day.

There is no end to cultivation, as long as one is willing to work hard.

Especially since Jiang Wang had only recently opened his third internal mansion, it was a time to consolidate his cultivation and actively explore the rooms within his internal mansions.

Exploring the rooms within his internal mansions was not only about finding hidden treasures, but also about understanding himself more deeply.

His study of the “Five Immortals Like a Dream Order” vocal part was also progressing smoothly. He had drunk the eight finest teas of the tea ceremony and created the Eight Sounds Flame Sparrow, showing considerable talent in the “sound” path.

Coupled with his study of the orthodox immortal technique “Stepping on the Clouds,” he had some advantages when researching the incomplete immortal technique fragments of the Five Immortals Sect, which lacked the technique medium.

He had opened three thousand rooms in his first and second internal mansions.

Perhaps because his Boundless Wind had improved too quickly and his divine soul had also made significant progress, this exploration of the third internal mansion was faster than the previous two.

The Boundless Wind, which incorporated the life-slaying nail and perfectly nailed down Ji Shaoqing, was indeed powerful.

The divine light that illuminated the internal mansion seemed to carry a sharp killing intent. The divine soul-hiding serpent wandering in the third internal mansion seemed to explore new rooms with particular ease.

On this night at the Chong Xuan family compound, Jiang Wang effortlessly identified the hidden treasure of his third internal mansion.

The hidden treasure was the Wind Gate, which had the effect of increasing the power of wind-attributed Taoist techniques by ten percent.

This was similar to the Starfire hidden treasure in his first internal mansion.

The reason Jiang Wang chose to confirm this hidden treasure and not explore further was naturally because it benefited his Boundless Wind.

Speaking of which, Jiang Wang’s earliest confirmed directions for Taoist technique cultivation were fire and wood.

He had eaten half of a Heavenly Azure Cloud Sheep and had received some kind of “baptism” in the Forest Sea Source Realm. His wood attribute talent was not weak, and was even slightly stronger than his fire attribute talent.

But by now, apart from a single “Rotting Wood Decisive,” he had no other remarkable Taoist techniques. His earlier techniques like Thorn Crown and Sea of Flowers were no longer keeping up with the current level of combat.

In battles now, the aftershocks were enough to shatter the Sea of Flowers, and the Thorn Crown was even less able to provide any enhancement to any powerful Taoist technique.

With the development of the True Samadhi Fire, the cultivation of the Fire Source Codex, and the progress of the Fire Totem… his fire attribute talent had surpassed his wood attribute talent, and Jiang Wang had indeed shown considerable talent in this path. The Eight Sounds Burning Sea inscribed in his second internal mansion was proof of this.

Although the Boundless Wind was a killing divine ability, as one of the Eight Winds divine abilities, it inevitably made Jiang Wang’s Taoist techniques lean towards the wind attribute.

However, even with so many reasons, it was not enough to explain the搁置 of the wood attribute.

Given Jiang Wang’s diligence, at least the improvement of the Rotting Wood Decisive should not have stagnated.

The most important reason…

Was actually that after Dong Ah’s death, he was less willing to face the wood attribute.

Again, as dawn was about to break, Jiang Wang left and once again set off for Wayao Town in Baolong County.

However, this time he did not show himself in public or meet with Zhang Cuihua. Instead, he quietly observed and confirmed that he had not brought any trouble to Zhang Cuihua and her son before leaving silently.

This time, he was truly leaving. Unless something unexpected happened, he would not come to Wayao Town again.

Whether he would see Chu Yao in the future depended on Chu Yao’s own choice.

Returning to the Chong Xuan family compound in the afternoon, Jiang Wang planned to inform Chong Xuan Laifu and then set off back to Linzi.

However, this time, the welcoming party outside the Chong Xuan family compound seemed a bit too grand.

There was a large crowd of people standing there.

More than a dozen elders were gathered in front of the family compound, and Jiang Wang saw Chong Xuan Hengsheng among them.

Judging from Chong Xuan Hengsheng’s slightly backward position, these people should all be family elders of the Chong Xuan family, and their ranking would only be higher than Chong Xuan Hengsheng, not lower.

More than a dozen family elders… it seemed that all those who could move had come out.

Of course, Jiang Wang was not arrogant enough to think they were there to welcome him, so he quickly stepped aside and went low-key towards Chong Xuan Laifu, who had been waving.

But no matter how low-key he was, with a large group of Chong Xuan family elders welcoming guests outside the family compound, and him being the only one walking in the opposite direction into the family compound… it was impossible to be low-key.

Chong Xuan Hengsheng was already glaring! His eyes were filled with killing intent, and each glare was saying – you’re so arrogant.

The elder with the long beard standing in the center of all the family elders should be the most senior family elder at the Chong Xuan family compound.

He was quite amiable: “Is this Young Master Jiang? Are you close to A Sheng?”

Although they had never met before, it was easy to guess that this person should be Chong Xuan Yuanhu. He was a Divine Arrival realm powerhouse of the main branch of the Chong Xuan family, a figure of the same generation as the current Marquis Bowang, Chong Xuan Yunbo’s grandfather, and he was over three hundred years old, with an incredibly high seniority.

Besides this person, who else could have so many Chong Xuan family elders surrounding him like stars around the moon?

Jiang Wang quickly bowed: “Thank you for asking. This junior and Chong Xuan Sheng are sworn brothers.”

“Good, very good.” The long-bearded elder nodded with satisfaction: “What a talented young man. It’s a pity I’m old and inconvenient to move, otherwise I should have seen you the day before yesterday.”

This was, of course, a polite remark.

It wasn’t that Jiang Wang wasn’t worth his visit. But since Jiang Wang was tied to Chong Xuan Sheng, among these family elders, those who hadn’t explicitly stated their support for a specific successor would not easily meet him.

Those who explicitly supported Chong Xuan Sheng or Chong Xuan Zun, however, didn’t need to worry.

When it was time to be polite, Jiang Wang was also very polite: “Where are you saying this? It is Jiang Wang’s honor to be able to see you today.”

Chong Xuan Yuanhu smiled: “You are one of us, so I won’t say too much. There is a distinguished guest visiting today, so you can stand by and welcome the guest with us. It is also to support me with your demeanor and appearance.”

These words were warm and appropriate, allowing one to feel the wisdom accumulated over time.

Without waiting for Jiang Wang to speak, he turned sideways and waved: “Hengsheng, move over there and make some space for Jiang Wang.”

Although they were all family elders in name, in front of Chong Xuan Yuanhu, Chong Xuan Hengsheng was just a junior. Although he felt wronged, he had no room to argue. He could only glare at Jiang Wang a few more times before reluctantly moving to the side.

Jiang Wang, however, blocked him: “How can this junior dare? My brother Chong Xuan Sheng and I are sworn brothers, so all the gentlemen here are my elders. It is my duty and responsibility to accompany the elders to welcome the distinguished guest, but I should stand behind. If you don’t treat me as an outsider, then I should stand where Chong Xuan Sheng should stand.”

Chong Xuan Yuanhu’s face showed no expression, still with a benevolent smile. Upon hearing this, he only said: “Alright.”

By specifically naming Chong Xuan Hengsheng today and asking him to make way for Jiang Wang, wasn’t it a kind of warning?

His choosing sides and supporting someone was not a problem. But daring to make trouble in front of the ancestral temple was something that could not be ignored.

He just didn’t expect this young man, who didn’t seem like a young man at all, seemingly without any arrogance, to so easily brush it off.

How could Chong Xuan Yuanhu not know that this was because this young man didn’t take Chong Xuan Hengsheng seriously at all?

He sighed deeply in his heart.

Sometimes having too many geniuses in the younger generation was also a kind of trouble. Back then, Chong Xuan Mingtu and Chong Xuan Chuliang had caused their share of worry.

And now, Chong Xuan Zun and Chong Xuan Sheng…

Under the gaze of many people, Jiang Wang squeezed in front of Chong Xuan Laifu and casually asked: “Which distinguished guest are we welcoming today?”

Chong Xuan Laifu whispered in his ear: “I heard it’s a distinguished person from the Tai Xu Sect.”

Tai Xu Sect?

Jiang Wang was stunned.

Tai Xu Illusion Realm?
