Chapter 93: A Small Secret of Gongsun Huaiyu, Chen Changsheng Returns to Kunlun Sacred Ground

Field.

Gongsun Huaiyu sat cross-legged, while Chen Changsheng leisurely read a book beside her.

Time passed, and then suddenly behind Gongsun Huaiyu, a grand anomaly appeared.

A blue lotus slowly grew from the Sea of Suffering, finally blooming fully, with three colorful lotus seeds shining with holy light.

Seeing this scene, Chen Changsheng slightly turned his head, smiling as he said,

“Natural divine power, quite interesting.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gongsun Huaiyu also opened her eyes.

“Teacher, I’ve reached the Consciousness Realm.”

“Not bad, with your current strength, you should be able to withstand over ten attacks from Yao Guang Saint Son.”

Hearing these words, Gongsun Huaiyu, who was originally delighted, immediately looked down.

“Teacher, is the Yao Guang Saint Son really that strong?”

“It’s not just as strong as I said; he is even stronger than I described.”

“The scales on your armor were made from the scales of a Thunder Beast, which are unusually sturdy.”

“Speaking of the quality of your armor, even at your current realm, you cannot destroy it.”

“But Yao Guang Saint Son pierced through it in one strike. If he hadn’t held back, you wouldn’t even be alive now.”

“What?!”

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Huaiyu’s face was filled with confusion.

“When did he hold back? I remember he fought fiercely, and it wasn’t an exaggeration to say he was giving it his all!”

“He might have been giving it his all, but he definitely held back.”

“At that time, seven Heavenly Prodigies surrounded you together. You blocked the attacks from Kunlun Saint Son Jiang Ping and Purple Manor Saintess Ziling.”

“The remaining attacks, you endured with only your physical strength.”

“Suyan and the others knew about my relationship with the seventy-two smoke signals, so they only injured you, not killing you.”

“But the other three were different—Mei Yongsi, Batu Lu, and Fu Yao.”

“These three are all top-notch prodigies. Being among the prodigies, you should understand that there are countless ways for a prodigy to k*ll.”

“Without saying anything else, it wouldn’t be hard for them to shatter several meridians with hidden force.”

“But none of them did so, which makes things rather strange.”

Hearing Chen Changsheng’s analysis, Gongsun Huaiyu also realized the oddity of the situation.

Previously, she didn’t notice anything unusual because one big thing followed another.

Now, upon careful reflection, it indeed seemed strange.

“Teacher, what do you think happened?”

“I don’t know. I’ve only met them once, and I don’t know them as well as you do. How could I guess their thoughts?”

“However, there’s something else I’m more concerned about. What are you doing in Kunlun Sacred Ground?”

“When I sent a message to the seventy-two smoke signals, you didn’t recognize me when we met.”

“If I guessed correctly, you must have sneaked in.”

At this statement, Gongsun Huaiyu’s gaze became evasive.

“There aren’t enough cultivation resources at home, so I wanted to catch a fat sheep to fill the gap.”

“Bullshit!”

“The seventy-two smoke signals don’t lack cultivation resources, and I’ve already asked your master.”

“He said you acted first and informed later, running out first and then sending the message.”

“So, are you planning to tell me yourself, or do you want your master to come and ask you personally?”

Seeing Chen Changsheng pressing closer, Gongsun Huaiyu immediately grabbed his arm and shook it.

Warm reminder: The upper right corner of the page has functions such as “Switch between Simplified and Traditional Chinese,” “Adjust Font Size,” and “Reading Background Color.”

Setting

Simplified Traditional

“Xiancha, I’ll tell you about this matter later. Please don’t pressure me anymore.”

“Oh, you mentioned that Xiantian was going to open stones, right?”

“Why don’t you teach me how to distinguish stone materials? Once I have the strength, I will make them cry like babies.”

Seeing Sun Huaiyu begin to change the subject, Chen Changsheng smiled slightly and did not delve deeper into the issue.

Having lived for thousands of years, Chen Changsheng’s insight was sharp. Sun Huaiyu’s little schemes couldn’t escape his notice.

Although she didn’t say it, Chen Changsheng had already guessed part of it.

All that was left was for her to gradually reveal the “flaw.”

“Alright, if you don’t want to say it, then don’t.”

“Gambling on stones actually doesn’t have any secrets. The only way to win is to take everything and open it yourself.”

Sun Huaiyu didn’t believe a word of what Chen Changsheng said.

“Xiancha is lying. The stones you opened in the inner courtyard can still be explained by some methods.”

“But how do you explain the Kunlun Stone Workshop’s reputation? So many people passed by without noticing, yet you found it.”

“It’s simple. Because I understand the Fire Dragon Source.”

“Long ago, the Divine Source wasn’t called the Divine Source, but the Spiritual Source.”

“When Kunlun Sacred Ground opened up the entire Fire Dragon Source, I was involved.”

“Back then, everyone was studying the unique dragon-shaped Spiritual Source, but I focused on the stone surrounding it.”

“I discovered that this kind of Spiritual Source has a characteristic—it makes the stone material brittle, albeit very slowly.”

“The sign of the Kunlun Sacred Ground is carved from the remaining stone of the Fire Dragon Source.”

“But the stone containing the Divine Source is extremely hard. The workers took a shortcut and chose a relatively brittle piece to carve.”

“So I’m certain there must be a Divine Source inside.”

After hearing Chen Changsheng’s explanation, Sun Huaiyu’s mouth slightly opened.

She never imagined that Xiancha would obtain the Spiritual Source in such a simple way.

“Just like that?”

“Don’t you think it’s difficult? Many things aren’t as hard as you imagine. It’s just that you haven’t found a simpler method.”

After saying that, Chen Changsheng took out the “Welcome Pine” from the inner courtyard of the Kunlun Stone Workshop from the system space.

When Sun Huaiyu attacked, Chen Changsheng had immediately put this stone into the system space.

Fighting aside, one couldn’t lose what they bought.

But just as Chen Changsheng was about to open the stone, he paused.

“By the way, don’t rush about the matter with the Yao Guang Saint Son. With time, you may not fall behind him.”

“Your blue lotus anomaly looks extraordinary. After those three lotus seeds mature, you might realize three kinds of divine powers.”

“The cultivation system created by you and your master only pointed out the direction for you. The specific path, you need to explore on your own.”

Facing Chen Changsheng’s words, Sun Huaiyu nodded repeatedly, but her eyes remained fixed on the stone material in front of her.

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng laughed and shook his head, not reminding her.

She was still a child under a year old. It was understandable if she was playful. As time passed, she would understand it eventually.

…

Kunlun Sacred Ground.

“Chen Changsheng is back!”

A voice echoed throughout the Kunlun Sacred Ground. Chen Changsheng, who had disappeared for over ten days, returned.

And he brought back Gongsun Huaiyu, the seventy-second smoke signal.

Being captured by bandits and then bringing back a beautiful woman from their den—how does this look so strange?
