Chapter 71: Zuo Xinghe Meets an Old Friend Again at the Heavenly Heroes Conference
After discussing for a while, Ye Henchuan and the young man in the python robe ultimately decided on their attitude towards Chen Changsheng.
That was to ignore him.
After all, the “Undertaker” had once been a friend of the Wolf Emperor, and his strength must not be too far off.
As Chen Changsheng was his disciple, even if his strength and experience were not impressive, they still had to give him a little respect.
Although this Heavenly Heroes Conference was dangerous, it was best not to stir up trouble, and fundamentally there wouldn’t be any significant issues.
It would just be an opportunity to broaden his horizons.
With this in mind, the young man in the python robe immediately smiled and said to Chen Changsheng, “So it turns out Brother Chen is the esteemed disciple of the Undertaker!”
“It’s truly a pleasure to meet you.”
“The Undertaker has always been shrouded in mystery. If I get the chance, I, Su Tian, definitely want to pay a visit to the senior.”
Seeing the young man in the python robe come over to greet him, Chen Changsheng also smiled and replied, “My master has always enjoyed a reclusive life, but since it’s Brother Su who wishes to meet him, my master will likely agree.”
“After all, my master still has some connections with the Xuanwu Kingdom.”
“Oh!”
“This is news to me?”
“Yes. I’ve heard my master mention it a few times, but I don’t know the specifics.”
“In that case, I definitely need to find an opportunity to visit the senior.”
Su Tian and Chen Changsheng exchanged pleasantries for a while, then Su Tian arranged for Chen Changsheng to rest.
Although he appeared to be polite and accommodating on the surface, in reality, Su Tian had no intention of involving Chen Changsheng in the “fun.”
Faced with this situation, Chen Changsheng merely smiled faintly and didn’t take it to heart.
He wasn’t in the Central Courtyard to compete for any title of the Heavenly Prodigy; avoiding trouble was the best course of action.
…
After staying in the Xuanwu Kingdom for several days, the Super Teleportation Array of the Xuanwu Kingdom was finally ready.
The “Heavenly Prodigies” of the Night Moon Nation and the Xuanwu Kingdom had all gathered at the Super Teleportation Array.
However, interestingly, the top Heavenly Prodigies from both countries were not of direct bloodlines.
Leading the Night Moon Nation, which was claimed to be a Demon Clan dynasty, was Ye Henchuan, a proper human.
The leader of the Xuanwu Kingdom was Su Tian, but he was not of royal bl**d.
Due to his extraordinary talent, he had been adopted by the Left Emperor of the Xuanwu Kingdom and given the title of Prince of the Side.
As the time to activate the Central Courtyard approached, the Left Emperor, who had been in seclusion, rarely made an appearance, and the current ruler of the Xuanwu Kingdom, Zuo Xinghe, also showed up.
Looking at the Heavenly Prodigies in the array, Zuo Xinghe spoke some words of encouragement to boost morale, then he activated the Super Teleportation Array.
Although the Heavenly Prodigies of both nations were impressive, compared to the extraordinary talents from the Central Courtyard and elsewhere, there was still a considerable gap.
The purpose of this Heavenly Heroes Conference was just to let them see the world.
As for standing out, Zuo Xinghe had no expectations whatsoever.
Watching the light radiating from the array, Zuo Xinghe prepared to turn and leave.
But just as he was about to turn away, he unexpectedly spotted a familiar face in the crowd.
Though the aura had changed and the appearance had become younger, Zuo Xinghe would never forget that face.
At the same time, Chen Changsheng, hiding in the crowd, noticed Zuo Xinghe’s gaze.
Feeling the stare of an old friend, a radiant smile appeared on Chen Changsheng’s face.
“Swish!”
Before Zuo Xinghe could speak, the Super Teleportation Array activated, and more than ten Heavenly Prodigies disappeared from their spot.
“Gulp!”
A warm reminder: If you can’t find the book title, try searching for the author—it might just have been renamed!

Struggling to swallow a mouthful of saliva, Zuo Xinghe, the king of a nation, began to tremble.
He was alive; he truly emerged from the Ancient Forbidden Ground.
Although his appearance had slightly changed, that demeanor and gaze would never change.
The Undertaker Chen Changsheng, the fleeting national teacher of the Xuanwu Kingdom, had returned!
With this thought, Zuo Xinghe immediately exclaimed, “Come here!”
“Activate the Super Teleportation Array again; I must personally go to the Central Courtyard.”
Hearing Zuo Xinghe’s command, an old man stepped forward and said, “Your Majesty, there is a small issue with the Super Teleportation Array.”
“It may take two months to activate it again.”
As he spoke, beads of cold sweat began to appear on the old man’s forehead.
He didn’t know why the teleportation array suddenly had a problem.
Fortunately, those Heavenly Prodigies had not experienced issues; if they did, even a hundred lives wouldn’t be enough to pay for it.
Regarding this news, Zuo Xinghe did not blame the person responsible for the teleportation array.
He knew this matter must have been manipulated by Chen Changsheng.
With his attainments in array formations, pulling off such a small trick would be effortless.
“Then repair it quickly; I want to see the teleportation array return to normal as soon as possible.”
After speaking, Zuo Xinghe turned and left.
At that moment, his heart was already in tumult; someone he thought had “died” had reappeared, and Zuo Xinghe had too many questions he wanted to ask him.
…
In the spatial rift.
A transparent bubble encapsulated everyone, swiftly traversing through the Void.
The more than ten Heavenly Prodigies stood with their hands behind their backs, silently gazing forward, as if they had lost their ability to speak.
Chen Changsheng understood this situation very well.
After all, being a Heavenly Prodigy was all about prestige; if they were chattering away on the way, that would be too embarrassing.
Ignoring everyone else’s behavior as they maintained their composure, Chen Changsheng found a corner to sit down and casually fed a Dan Pill to the Little White Dog in his arms, which seemed listless.
As he stroked the Little White Dog’s fur, his thoughts began to churn.
During this trip to the outside world, Chen Changsheng realized that the rules of heaven and earth had a significant impact on cultivators.
Since most cultivators had already gone into seclusion, the more powerful cultivators were even more likely to close themselves off completely.
With this in mind, Chen Changsheng murmured to himself, “Finding a complete cultivation system is no simple matter.”
“I hadn’t expected that the pressure from the rules of heaven and earth not only diminishes the power of the existing cultivation systems but also shortens the lifespan of the cultivators within those systems.”
“No wonder the Central Courtyard is hosting the ‘Heavenly Heroes Conference’; I suppose those old fossils are reaching their limit.”
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng glanced at the group of more than ten “Heavenly Prodigies” not far away.
These individuals emanated various auras, but interestingly, judging by the auras they emitted.
The systems they practiced were quite different from the previous cultivation systems.
To put it more directly, they were like lab rats for those powerful figures exploring new cultivation systems.
If successful, they would soar straight to the top; if unsuccessful, they would only meet their demise.
Having sorted out the entire situation, a smile began to spread from the corner of Chen Changsheng’s mouth.
Because Chen Changsheng clearly understood that the method for cultivators to validate whether their techniques were correct was quite straightforward: they just needed to fight.
If they won, it meant the technique was correct.
If they lost, it meant the technique was wrong.
In this way, this Heavenly Heroes Conference would likely lead to earth-shattering battles!
