"Boom!"
On the Sect of All Times' main peak's training field, He Wudi put down the heavy bronze cauldron.
"What's this?"
The disciples all gathered around.
Su Xiaomo introduced at the top of his voice, "This is the champion's trophy of the 11th Universe Holy War. The winner is He Wudi!"
"Scrap metal?"
"It's worthless."
The bronze cauldron's design was not bad, but in the eyes of the disciples, it was just a piece of art.
"Worthless?"
Su Xiaomo cupped his hands and said, "It's said that there's a profound meaning in the cauldron. If you can comprehend it, you can step onto the path of eternal life!"
"Damn!"
"Is it that magical?"
The disciples started to seriously examine the bronze cauldron, but they couldn't figure out the mystery.
This was normal.
If it was that easy to figure out the profound meaning, the cauldron would have been gone.
"Sigh."
He Wudi shook his head and sighed.
Originally, he had planned to give the championship to Eldest Senior Sister, but in the end, she had frozen the arena as soon as she stepped onto the stage and jumped off before he could.
Was it that hard to give up the championship?
Was it that hard to keep a low profile?
If the competitors who were fighting for the championship heard this, they would drown him in spit.
"But …"
He Wudi looked at the bronze cauldron and said with a burning gaze, "Since it was left behind by Senior Qixuan, I must study it carefully."
"Invincible."
Jun Changxiao's voice came from the main hall. "Bring the cauldron over."
"…"
He Wudi's mouth twitched.
Did he have to hand over the championship's reward to the sect?
Inside the main hall.
Jun Changxiao walked around the bronze cauldron and said, "What profound meaning is inside?"
"Patriarch, I …"
"Okay, you can go back first. I'll take care of the bronze cauldron for a while."
"…"
He Wudi walked out with a bitter face and cried in his heart, "I should have been more confident and removed the question marks!"
…
The secrets contained within the bronze cauldron were not something that could be solved overnight. Therefore, Jun Changxiao shook his head and sighed as he sat down after observing for an hour.
Ryu Sinan was puzzled. "It is a happy thing for your disciple to win the championship. Why is the Patriarch sighing?"
"Don't mention it."
Jun Changxiao clutched his chest and said, "My heart hurts."
Why did his heart ache?
This was because after He Wudi became the champion of the Universe Sacred War, his main mission did not increase at all.
"Haha!"
The System laughed and said, "Someone always thinks too much!"
"Pa!"
Jun Changxiao slapped his face and roared, "Stop laughing!"
Ryu Sinan was scared out of his wits when he saw the Patriarch glaring at him angrily and cursing. He immediately left and thought to himself, "The Patriarch is hurting himself again!"
…
His disciple won the championship.
There was no progress on the main quest.
He had even offended the Celestial Devil Emperor.
Seriously.
Jun Changxiao felt extremely uncomfortable.
The most annoying thing was that from the preliminaries to the finals, there were no other rewards other than the bronze cauldron.
"This is too much of a loss."
The more Jun Changxiao thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. In the end, he leaned on the chair and roared, "If I had known, I would have changed my profession and become a bandit!"
"Heh."
The System mocked, "You've finally said what's in your heart."
…
Three days after the end of the competition.
Jun Changxiao stayed in the Sect of All Times for three days.
Actually, 'hiding' would be more accurate.
Hiding from who?
Of course it was the Celestial Devil Emperor.
In this Universe Sacred War, the other party sent 81 foster children. In the end, more than 50 of them died in the hands of the Sect of All Times disciples.
Jun Changxiao could even imagine that the moment he left Heaven Luo City, he would be surrounded by the Celestial Devil Emperor in the wilderness.
"I'm not afraid."
Gou Sheng comforted himself. "I don't want to cause trouble."
"Patriarch."
Sun Bukong walked in and said, "Senior Brother Ye has woken up."
"You didn't tell him about the fetus, did you?"
"No."
"Mm, you can leave."
After Sun Bukong left, Jun Changxiao fell into deep thought.
According to the medical hall's most professional diagnosis, the fetus in Jie Lingyao's womb was suppressed by spirit energy all year round. The situation didn't seem too optimistic. The worst case scenario was to save the mother and the fetus.
"Sigh."
Jun Changxiao shook his head. "What an ill-fated relationship."
"Uncle."
He called Gu Tianxing over and asked, "Do you have a prescription to prevent miscarriage?"
"The fetus in that girl's womb has been suppressed for too long. It's still unknown whether it can be treated with medicine. In my opinion, why don't …" Gu Tianxing hesitated.
"Understood."
Jun Changxiao said, "This matter needs to be decided by Xing Chen."
…
Ye Xingchen lay in the ward for a few days, and his physical condition gradually recovered.
Sun Bukong came to check on him from time to time. He often saw his senior brother leaning against the bed and staring blankly at the potted plants placed on the window, staring at the tenacious sprouts growing out of the soil.
"What are you looking at?" Jun Changxiao walked in.
Ye Xingchen hurriedly retracted his gaze and said, "Looking at the scenery."
"Oh."
Jun Changxiao sat next to him and helped him peel an orange full of spirit energy. He said, "There's something I need to tell you."
"…"
Ye Xingchen didn't say anything, but he already smelled something bad.
Jun Changxiao said, "The fetus in Jie Lingyao's womb has been suppressed by spirit energy for too long, and its development is seriously affected. According to the analysis and research of the experts, the best way is to abort it."
When he heard the last two words, Ye Xingchen's eyelids twitched.
"Of course."
Jun Changxiao added, "You're the father of the child. It's up to you to decide."
"…"
Ye Xingchen clenched his fists and said with difficulty, "Is there no other way?"
"Yes, there is."
Jun Changxiao said, "But it's very risky."
"What's the risk?"
"Uncle Gu has a prescription to stabilize the fetus, but the herbs required are extremely precious …"
"I'll go look for it!" Ye Xingchen said anxiously.
"I understand how you feel. After all, the fetus is also a life." Jun Changxiao said, "But the prescription can't guarantee a cure. Even if you look for it for a long time, you might not be able to gather the required herbs."
"If you can't find it in one year, you'll have to find it in ten years!"
"If we can't find him in ten years, we'll find him in a hundred years!"
"If you can't find it in a hundred years, you'll have to find it in a lifetime!"
Ye Xingchen spoke very quickly. Obviously, he didn't accept the idea of aborting the fetus. Instead, he chose to gamble on the prescription!
"Alright."
Jun Changxiao placed the list of herbs required for the prescription on the table and said, "I've already listed the herbs for you. After you've completely recovered, you can set off to look for them."
"Swish!"
Ye Xingchen stood up, holding the list and said, "I've recovered. I'll set off to look for the herbs now."
That face was still cold and arrogant.
That voice was still emotionless.
But there was a different kind of light in his eyes.
Jun Changxiao knew that this was the responsibility of a father.
"Wait."
"Wait for the Celestial Demon Emperor to leave."
However, Ye Xingchen couldn't wait any longer. He flew out of the Eternal World that night.
"Patriarch!"
Li Qingyang hurried over and said, "Junior Brother Ye has left!"
"…" Jun Changxiao took off his mask and shook his head, saying, "Xingchen has changed again."
The more his disciple valued his child, the more Gou Sheng believed that the future he had seen would happen.
What should he do?
Since he couldn't change the plot, he could only follow the script.
…
Jie Lingyao had woken up a few days ago.
She was taken care of 24 hours a day by the best medical team in the Sect of All Times.
"Miss Jie."
The second day after Ye Xingchen left, Jun Changxiao came to visit and said, "Please take good care of yourself and the child in your belly during this period of time. Give Xingchen a chance to make up for his mistakes."
"Jun Patriarch."
Jie Lingyao said, "Please let me go."
She had thought about it for a long time. Since she couldn't take revenge, she had to go far away.
"The Sect of All Times has a professional medical team. You can stay here to take care of the fetus." Jun Changxiao wouldn't let the plot of torturing his wife for a while and then chasing her to the crematorium happen.
"You don't have to bother Jun Patriarch about the fetus," Jie Lingyao said.
Jun Changxiao said, "Xingchen is my disciple. His child is my grand-disciple, so you don't have to be so formal."
"…"
"Let me know if there's anything."
Jun Changxiao got up and left. Before he left, he reminded Sun Bukong, "You must take good care of Miss Jie."
"Patriarch," Sun Bukong said bitterly.
Sun Bukong said with a bitter expression, "She seems to hate Senior Brother Ye very much. What if she takes things too hard and aborts the child herself? What then?"
Jun Changxiao said, "If she didn't want the child, she wouldn't have let him live for so long."
Did this mean that she was pregnant with a son?
"That's true."
Sun Bukong breathed a sigh of relief.
Jun Changxiao went to the Medicinal Cuisine Hall again and reminded Liu Wanshi to provide Jie Lingyao with the highest standard of fetus nourishing food.
"Patriarch."
After he was done, He Wudi walked in just as he was sitting in the study. He scratched his head and said, "Can the bronze cauldron …"
"You want to study it?"
"Yes."
"Take it."
"Thank you, Patriarch."
He Wudi carried the bronze cauldron back to his residence. Then, he put it in the courtyard and began to study it. He even carefully touched every line and every corner on it.
Jun Changxiao sat in the study and said, "What secret is hidden in the bronze cauldron?"
The reason why he returned the cauldron to He Wudi was that he had been studying it for the past few days, but he had no clue at all.
Since there were no clues.
He could only give it to his disciple to study.
Perhaps, it could be shipped.
"That bronze cauldron is too mysterious." The system said, "It's not something that can be easily comprehended."
"Patriarch!"
At this moment, He Wudi excitedly said, "I found the mystery!"
"Shua!"
Jun Changxiao directly flew out of the window.
For this kind of immediate face-slapping behavior, the system could only express its calmness with a 'hehe'.
… …
In the courtyard.
He Wudi was extremely excited.
Jun Changxiao flew over and found that the bronze cauldron was no different from before, so he asked, "What mystery?"
"Patriarch."
He Wudi said, "Please step back."
"Shua!"
Jun Changxiao hurriedly retreated.
He Wudi walked to the front of the bronze cauldron and stroked the lines on the surface with both hands. Wherever he passed, there was a faint stream of light.
Jun Changxiao stared at him without blinking.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the bronze cauldron flickered with a brilliant light, illuminating the dark courtyard.
"Hmm?"
Jian Guixu and Gu Tianxing sensed it and immediately flew over in their pajamas.
When the two came to the courtyard where He Wudi was, when they saw everything inside, their eyes gradually widened and their mouths gradually opened.
What did they see?
They saw a picture scroll suspended on the bronze cauldron, and then slowly unfolded to the left and right, showing a map-like symbol.
"Could it be …"
Jun Changxiao was shocked, "These are the coordinates of the Road to Immortality?!"
