Looking at the sphere in front of her, Xu Yao smiled.
She raised her head to look at the closed room and said, “You are a senior; your knowledge and strength are things we look up to.”
“We will use facts to prove to you that we are no worse than anyone else.”
“If we really can’t carve out our own path, then we have no regrets!”
After saying this, Xu Yao stood up and left.
The others followed suit and quickly departed.
As heavenly prodigies, they carried their own pride. If they were frightened away by a strong person with just a few words, they would not deserve the title of heavenly prodigies.
Seeing this situation unfold, Chen Xiang could only smile wryly.
However, inside the room, Fu Yao was deeply focused, communicating with a clone, completely ignoring the circumstances outside.
……
Somewhere in the Four Directions Continent.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The trembling of the earth continued to reverberate as Chen Changsheng sat cross-legged atop a massive array formation.
Seeing this, Fu Yao smiled and said, “Using yourself as the core of the formation, you really went all out this time.”
Hearing Fu Yao’s voice, Chen Changsheng slowly opened his eyes.
“I have no choice; if I don’t push myself, those little ones won’t have the time.”
“How did they perform? Did they surprise you?”
“Sorry, they did not surprise me at all.”
“To be honest, their performance was poor, and I really doubt your judgment in people.”
Looking at Fu Yao not far away, Chen Changsheng smiled.
“It is quite normal for their performance to be lacking; not everyone can be as outstanding as Chen Xiang and Ziping.”
“If judged by your standards, Chen Xiang would also be unqualified because he is a bit slower than Thirteen.”
Upon hearing Chen Changsheng mention Chen Xiang, Fu Yao curiously asked, “With your level, you shouldn’t let Chen Xiang resort to the paths of others.”
“Even if Chen Xiang has relied on the path of the Sword God, it would still impede his future path.”
“I did it on purpose,” Chen Changsheng replied. “The title of the White-Haired Sword God is too great; it’s impossible for Chen Xiang to not feel pressure.”
“If he is made to bear this pressure as he moves forward, he definitely won’t be able to surpass Thirteen and might even face utter failure.”
“Keeping him stuck in the middle of the Immortal King Realm is meant to refine him.”
“The path of the sword has already been blocked by Thirteen; if he wants to surpass Thirteen, he must find another way.”
“With the understanding and realm blocked, the only path left for Chen Xiang is ‘technique.'”
At this answer, Fu Yao was stunned for a moment, then said, “So you’re saying I’ve disrupted your plan?”
“Not at all.”
“After so many years of blocking and accumulating, it’s time for Chen Xiang to break the chains and walk his own path.”
“Even if you don’t intervene, I was already planning for Chen Xiang to rebuild.”
“However, with your help, I can avoid a lot of trouble.”
“Interesting; I am increasingly convinced that giving Ziping to you was the right thing to do.”
“Because you always manage to turn some decayed wood into perfect works.”
“By the way, how far do you think those little ones can go?”
Facing Fu Yao’s question, Chen Changsheng answered without hesitation: “Except for Xu Yao and Jian Fei, every one of them can surpass you.”
“So confident, huh?”
“But I believe that apart from Jian Fei and Xu Yao, the others won’t even touch the threshold of the Ninth Rank.”
“I agree with your view; realm does not determine everything.”
“Thirteen is so powerful, yet in his later years, he was still calculated to d*ath by you.”
“Let’s not even mention Jian Fei’s unique path; Xu Yao is the body of a sword immortal, destined to go far on the path of the strong.”

“Others may stop at the Ninth Rank of the Immortal King, but that doesn’t mean they can’t achieve other accomplishments.”
“Unfortunately, you’ll be dead in some time; otherwise, you would definitely see their brilliance.”
Looking at the confident Chen Changsheng, Fu Yao frowned, realizing that she was starting to find him hard to see through.
“Alright, let’s let time prove this.”
“If they really become as you said, remember to tell me in front of my grave.”
“Deal!”
After saying this, Fu Yao’s clone gradually dissipated, and Chen Changsheng closed his eyes again.
As for what the two were truly contemplating, only heaven knows.
……
Time quickly passed, and everyone was training hard.
To avoid drawing attention, everyone chose to conceal their aura.
On the surface, they seemed no different from ordinary people; they ate when it was time to eat, played when it was time to play, and even the matter of love was not neglected.
But in reality, everyone’s hearts were hanging in the balance.
Until one day, Xu Yao and Chang Kong found them.
“Ma Ling’er, we might have to take a trip.”
Upon hearing Chang Kong’s words, Ma Ling’er asked curiously, “Where to?”
“The matter I mentioned to you a year ago, the traitor from the Eight Desolates Nine Domains is about to come to the border of the Four Directions Continent; we need to go intercept him.”
“Oh, that’s the matter. Didn’t you say that it was blocked by the Eight Desolates Nine Domains?”
“It indeed faced obstruction; otherwise, that traitor would have come a year ago.”
“This matter is of great importance, so eight teams have been dispatched from above, whose purpose is to confuse the spies of the Eight Desolates Nine Domains.”
“So this trip may take a while.”
“It’s just a small matter,” Ma Ling’er said. “I’ve been wanting to go out for a stroll anyway; it’s a good chance to relax.”
“Honestly, I really don’t want to get involved in such matters; they’re troublesome!”
“I think the same as you, but there’s no choice; orders must be followed!”
Saying this, everyone chatted and laughed as they set off, the whole process going very smoothly.
……
At the border of the Four Directions Continent.
Xu Yao and the others remained alert, while Chang Kong etched a complex array formation onto the ground.
Once finished, Chang Kong quietly pulled out a small hourglass and waited.
After a quarter of an hour, the formation emitted a dazzling light.
However, after the light faded, the inside was empty, with no sign of anyone appearing.
“Hahaha!”
“It seems our luck is quite good; we weren’t chosen by the above.”
“There’s a tavern a little over three miles away with good food; let’s go have a drink in a bit!”
“Boom!”
Just as they were speaking, the Four Directions Continent suddenly began to tremble violently.
A massive light curtain gradually enveloped the sky.
Faced with this situation, Chang Kong, who had just been smiling, suddenly cooled down.
That earlier phenomenon was the “Four Directions Great Array” of the Four Directions Continent; it absolutely would not activate unless it was a matter of life and d*ath.
Before Chang Kong could ask what was happening above, the Xuanwu Sect was the first to send them a message.
Not just Chang Kong; even Si Ma Lan and Ye Feng received news simultaneously.
The message was short, and the three finished reading it in less than a breath.
“Do you want to see the information from above?”
