Elder Qian arrived with great caution, carrying meager assets from the Qingyuan Sect and an ordinary Inner Scenery realm.
When he left, he walked like a dragon and tiger, standing at 1.5 meters tall with a presence of 2.8 meters.
“So this is what Little Ke meant by dull.”
The moment Ke Mo stepped ashore, he saw Old Qian standing with his hands behind his back, his shadow conveying a sense of loneliness.
Seeing him like this, Ke Mo first congratulated him before asking, “Senior Qian, are you in high spirits?”
“How did you know I advanced to the External Scenery realm?”
Qian Bufan wore a look of ‘surprise.’
“Um…” Ke Mo was speechless, but he was good at flattering elders, so he couldn’t help but show genuine shock: “Did you break through last night? Ah! What a pity, I went diving to practice, missing your breakthrough. Without a doubt, I would have gained many insights; that’s too sudden.”
“Mm, it was quite a tightrope walk, full of unexpected events. But with my persistence, I successfully crossed over, greatly increasing my strength.”
The elder recalled the experience of suddenly becoming wealthy, wearing a calm expression.
Perhaps years later, when interviewed by the Yantian Sect, Elder Qian would also express this sentiment.
His opportunity to become wealthy came because he had diligently worked hard all his life, never giving up…
Finally, he waited for his juniors to become outstanding talents and inherit a bit of his legacy…
Cough, but overall, Qian Bufan was very excited.
“I’ve reached the External Scenery realm, we can finally act like elders now. In the future, we’ll finally have the qualifications to protect our juniors. Oh right, Little Mo, how deep did you go yesterday?”
The pressure in the deep sea is immense, and the body endures tremendous force, even making it impossible to release the Inner World.
“Not much.”
Little Ke smiled shyly.
“Mm… The ocean is wondrous, but also extremely dangerous.” Qian Bufan nodded, ready to impart his experience diving:
“When you feel it’s immeasurable, out of reach…”
“It’s about thirty thousand feet deep.”
“…..?”
Qian Bufan leaned back slightly.
He remembered that below thirty thousand feet, it would be considered abyssal water.
“I could have gone deeper originally, but dawn is approaching, so maybe next time.”
Ke Mo sighed, his tone somewhat reflective.
He dived to temper his body and also used the Returning Void Scroll to search for the existence of Returning Void.
But unfortunately, the scroll showed no reaction until at least thirty thousand feet.
“Oh, did Elder Qian ever dive deep?”
“Mm, I did. Hehehe…”
Qian Bufan laughed awkwardly, his posture of holding his head high and chest out now slightly leaning back.
d*mn it…
Is this kid human?
As an External Scenery, thirty thousand feet might already be the limit. Even if he could hold on, his physical body would collapse.
Was this the starting point where Ke Mo felt the pressure?
Adding his towering Inner World…
Qian Bufan suddenly realized something.
Reaching the fifth realm didn’t conflict with still not being able to protect his juniors. In fact, due to his breakthrough, he could better sense the terrifying and profound aura within Ke Mo’s physical body.
So, was he just gaining the qualification to feel how abnormal his juniors were?
“Senior Qian? Senior Qian? Why are you drooling?”
Ke Mo noticed the wisdom in Qian Bufan’s eyes and the crystal droplet at the corner of his mouth.
“Little Mo, although Shang Wu is your master, you should still respect her.”
Qian Bufan’s eyes suddenly became clear and he spoke earnestly: “But you mustn’t learn from her!”
…
One Shang Wu has already made the children in the Eastern Wilderness stop crying.
A stronger version of Shang Wu?
He dare not even imagine!
“In fact, I’m not that respectful…”
Ke Mo coughed lightly and changed the subject: “Who can be as rebellious as their master throughout their life, right? I’m getting married soon and have children, Elder Qian, you really don’t believe in me.”
“That’s true, that’s true… You have Little Ice Girl.”
Qian Bufan smiled kindly, then suddenly paused:
“How did you know they are both children? Sigh… Did Old Xue tell me something last time…”
“Let’s talk about it again in the clouds.”
“Ah, I always feel like there’s something unfinished…”
“I’ve already made the sea silk clothes, what else could be left.”
Ke Mo summoned a somersault cloud, flying them into the sky.
The somersault cloud wasn’t fast, after all, Elder Qian had just broken through and needed to stabilize his realm. Carrying someone while performing rapid movements was not feasible.
…
In the Eastern Pearl Building, inside a giant seashell house in the backyard, Lan Tian was having a beautiful dream. Her sponsor promised to cook personally for the engagement banquet, and every day she would have different delicious food.
“Steamed bear paw, steamed deer tail…”
“Braised flower duck, braised gosling…”
“Ginseng soup, royal jelly cake… Gulp…”
Lan Tian squirmed and bit down on her pillow, then opened her eyes confusedly.
She wiped her saliva, yawned, and a tear fell from her eye, splashing on the ground and turning into a pearl.
“I’ll give the sponsor mother a string of pearl necklace later.”
Lan Tian pulled out a small box filled with pearls from under the bed, putting the one that just fell in, then walked out lazily.
She stretched lazily, feeling the weather today, and held the box excitedly to knock on Ke Mo’s door.
Knocking for a long time, no one answered.
“The boss has already left, didn’t he tell you?” said a passing employee.
“Ah?!”
Lan Tian’s smiling face froze instantly, her eyes vacant, as if struck by lightning.
…
“There’s news from Little Ke, he has already left the Rare Treasure Marine Market.”
Black Wind Mountain, located between the Eastern Sea and the Eastern Wilderness, is a notorious no-man’s-land often frequented by bandits and thieves, a mix of fish and dragons, with many peaks.
The Lingxi Gate chose this place to hide in plain sight.
After all, the promotion of the Qingyuan Sect, the ascension of Sword Sage Liqun and the engagement of Cold Fairy, were all approved by the Great Yu Emperor, so they dared not act openly.
Of course, just walking around wasn’t enough.
Qiao Ziyu pondered, “If we disguise ourselves as bandits, we might still be pursued by the Great Yu.”
“If we’re going to disguise ourselves, let’s do it thoroughly.”
The elder official thought deeply, seemingly very experienced with such matters:
“Why don’t we use the banner of the Huanmo Sect?”
“Huh?”
Qiao Ziyu pondered for a moment.
It is well known that Little Ke has a grudge against the Huanmo Sect.
In the City of Divine Beings, he personally prevented the awakening of their Ancestor God, which led to a reasonable retaliation from the Huanmo Sect.
“Then let’s do it this way!”
