Chapter 133: Ziling “Bows” her Head, Chen Changsheng Explores the “Sea of Learning”
After listening to Ziling’s introduction, Sun Huaiyu was already a bit impatient.
“I’ve already understood the rules, so where do I pick up the mission?”
“It’s in the Heaven’s Mechanism Pavilion we just passed. There, you can not only pick up missions but also release them.”
“When you take on the corresponding missions, you’ll get some basic information as a bonus, but if you want to know more detailed information, you’ll need to spend points to exchange for it.”
Upon learning about where to pick up missions, Sun Huaiyu looked at Chen Changsheng with eager anticipation.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng smiled and waved his hand, saying, “If you want to go, then go.”
With Chen Changsheng’s reply, Sun Huaiyu immediately took Su Tian and the other two and left the room.
After the three left, Ziling looked at Chen Changsheng with a smile.
“My holy son, since Sun Huaiyu is going to take on missions, what do you plan to do next?”
“If needed, I, as a humble woman, am willing to assist with all my might.”
Chen Changsheng did not pay any attention to Ziling’s ambiguous demeanor.
“The matters I need to deal with don’t require your help. Instead, you need to take on some missions.”
“Since Sun Huaiyu is going to take on missions, you should take on a few as well.”
“If, after I’m done with my matters, your total number of missions exceeds that of Sun Huaiyu, the new cultivation method will still belong to you.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Ziling instantly perked up.
Before the Heavenly Heroes Conference, Chen Changsheng had made a promise with her.
As long as she did not run away during the Heavenly Heroes Conference, he would teach her a new cultivation method.
However, the recent events at the mine made it difficult for Ziling to bring up this subject again.
Now that Chen Changsheng was giving her another opportunity, how could Ziling not be excited?
“Are you really willing to teach me?”
“The cultivation system that Sun Huaiyu practices is certainly not ordinary. I can understand the matters at the mine.”
Seeing Ziling’s delight that she could not suppress, Chen Changsheng smiled.
“The previous bet wasn’t meant to mock you, but rather to let you know that there are always greater talents and greater beings beyond the sky.”
“After this matter, I believe you should remember it well.”
“You and Sun Huaiyu are both recognized as the three beauties of the Central Courtyard; your situations are evenly matched.”
“If this time you still can’t surpass Sun Huaiyu, perhaps you really don’t have the qualification to compete in this chaos.”
Upon hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, Ziling clenched her fists and said, “I admit that Sun Huaiyu is ahead of me in the path of cultivation, but I will ultimately surpass her.”
“That’s the confidence I want. Go quickly.”
“Then I will go. Just wait and see!”
With that, Ziling turned and hurried toward the Heaven’s Mechanism Pavilion, but halfway through, she suddenly stopped.
“This doesn’t feel right!”
“You are the holy son and I am the holy woman; according to reason, we are of equal rank. Why should I listen to your arrangements?”
Facing Ziling’s confusion, Chen Changsheng smiled lightly and said, “We are indeed of equal rank; I have no right to command you.”
“You can completely choose not to listen to me. In fact, I can hand over command to you. The question is, do you dare to accept this command?”
“Or do you plan to gather the elders of the Purple House Sacred Ground for a meeting to carefully discuss who is the commander between us?”
Looking at Chen Changsheng’s smile, Ziling’s expression turned dark instantly.
Although she was unwilling to accept Chen Changsheng’s authoritative behavior, she had to admit that his command was indeed very correct.

Moreover, based on the attitude of the master and the elders, they had implicitly acknowledged that Chen Changsheng temporarily held power over the Purple House Sacred Ground.
“I understand that I am disguised as your subordinate, holy son. I know you are strong, so listening to you isn’t a shame.”
“Next time, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Don’t beat around the bush and call me stupid.”
With a mix of reluctance and acceptance, Ziling dashed away.
Looking at Ziling’s departing figure, Chen Changsheng smiled.
Although this girl loved to throw little tantrums, she was always able to take in advice and never let her emotions hinder her work.
With a bit of cultivation, she would surely become a capable aide.
After summarizing his evaluation of Ziling in his mind, Chen Changsheng made his way toward the “Sea of Learning” in the Purple House Sacred Ground.
The “Sea of Learning” is the place where the Sage’s techniques are stored in the Purple House Sacred Ground.
Inside are countless accumulated classics, and even the Purple House Sacred Lord Nalan Jing wouldn’t dare to claim to know all its contents.
Chen Changsheng still had many questions regarding the matters of the Heavenly Mandate Holder.
To resolve these uncertainties, he needed to visit the “Sea of Learning.”
…
At the Sea of Learning Pavilion.
After verifying his identity, the door slowly opened.
What came into view were countless jade slips; even someone of Chen Changsheng’s cultivation couldn’t see the end of the entire Sea of Learning Pavilion at a glance.
After casually inspecting the jade slips around, Chen Changsheng’s gaze fell upon a stone pillar in the center.
This stone pillar was carved from ordinary stone, but at the top of the pillar lay a bl**d-colored stone.
Through the faint light, one could still vaguely see a figure within the bl**d-colored stone.
In light of this situation, Chen Changsheng knew without thinking that this was the true foundation of the Purple House Sacred Ground.
The “Sea of Learning” is a critical location that requires someone to be stationed here; after all, this is the root of the Purple House Sacred Ground.
After bowing to the bl**d-colored stone, Chen Changsheng stepped forward toward the depths of the Sea of Learning Pavilion.
The classic texts pertaining to Heavenly Mandate Holders are located at the deepest parts of the Sea of Learning Pavilion.
Only the Sacred Lord and a few elders of the Purple House Sacred Ground are qualified to view such high-level classics.
To access these works, Chen Changsheng had borrowed a token from the Grand Elder.
According to the signs in the Sea of Learning Pavilion, Chen Changsheng walked leisurely.
However, after walking for a full three hours…
…
“Tsk tsk!”
“Excavating three large mountains, beneath them are more than a hundred miles of continuous formations; the Sacred Ground is indeed the Sacred Ground, its foundation is extremely deep.”
After expressing admiration for the foundation of the Purple House Sacred Ground, Chen Changsheng revealed the Grand Elder’s token and said, “I am the new Sacred Son of the Purple House Sacred Ground, Chen Changsheng, here to view the classics with the Grand Elder’s token.”
His voice echoed through the Sea of Learning Pavilion, but the quiet Sea of Learning did not respond.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng retracted the token and respectfully bowed to a bl**d stone the size of a room: “Thank you, senior!”
Having said that, Chen Changsheng pushed open a narrow stone door.
A stone chamber covered with dust appeared before Chen Changsheng’s eyes.
Although this stone chamber looked ordinary, Chen Changsheng, with his understanding of Array Formations, could easily see that it was filled with golden patterns.
The reason he could enter alive was that someone had temporarily halted the operation of the array.
Scanning around this moderately sized stone chamber, Chen Changsheng picked up a beast skin book covered in dust.
Gently brushing off the dust, Chen Changsheng opened the first page of the beast skin book.
