Knock knock …
Inside the Towering Heaven Palace, Lan Yu knocked on the door.
"Come in."
A lazy voice came from inside the room.
Lan Yu pushed the door open and saw Chu Kuangren yawning as he woke up from his bed. She could not help but smile.
She went up to Chu Kuangren and skillfully tidied his bed. She then helped him change his clothes and said, "Master, Elder Ruyan sent someone to tell you to be punctual for a meeting at the Longevity Hall."
"Meeting? Oh, it's the beginning of the month today, right?"
Chu Kuangren suddenly realized.
The Black Heaven Sect would hold a meeting every month to discuss the happenings of the month, such as the performance of the disciples, the movements of the other sage orthodoxies, and so on.
After he was dressed, Chu Kuangren carefully looked at himself in the mirror. "After being the Sect Leader for a year, I feel like my hairline has grown taller. Oh no, I won't go bald if I continue like this."
Lan Yu smiled helplessly. "Master, you're thinking too much. Your hair is still as thick as ever, and your hairline hasn't changed either."
"Is that so?"
"It's true. You're still as good looking as ever."
"That's good."
Chu Kuangren brought Lan Yu along and prepared to leave.
In the courtyard, Lil Bing was feeding Lil Red a few spirit fruits.
"Master."
"Did Fairfrost Sage send spirit fruits again?"
"Yes, she sent two big baskets this time. She said that the Godly Phoenix likes them, so she planted more." Lil Bing pointed at the two baskets of fiery red spirit fruits with a rich Fire-based Daoist Rhyme.
Any one of them was a priceless Top-tier Supreme Elixir.
However, these were just snacks for the Godly Phoenix Lil Red.
"Thank you for troubling her. Oh, right."
Chu Kuangren took out a book and a bottle.
There were some seeds in the bottle.
"These are the answers to the alchemy questions she asked me last time. There are also some Supreme Elixir seeds. Send them to her later."
Over the past year, Fairfrost Sage would occasionally come to Chu Kuangren to ask some questions. Sometimes, he would save up some of the more complicated questions and write them down in a book for her.
Besides that, he would sometimes draw all sorts of strange things from the gacha, and these Supreme Elixir seeds were one of them.
Since he was too lazy to plant them himself, he left them to the Fairfrost Sage.
"Yes, Master."
They left the Doctrine Palace.
Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu walked towards the Longevity Hall.
The disciples he met along the way all bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, Sect Master."
"Greetings, Sect Master."
Compared to a year ago, the Black Heaven Sect had changed a lot.
What was most noteworthy was the cultivation of the disciples. In just one year, almost every disciple's cultivation had improved.
This was especially true for Daoists like Murong Xuan and Nangong Huang. Under Chu Kuangren's nurturing, their cultivation levels had improved tremendously.
He arrived at the Longevity Hall.
The elders had already gathered together.
Upon seeing Chu Kuangren, everyone bowed to him.
"Greetings, Sect Master."
"Alright, enough with the pleasantries. Let's begin."
Chu Kuangren chuckled and sat on the main seat of the hall.
The elders began to report their work.
Most of them were trivial matters. Halfway through the meeting, Chu Kuangren started to yawn. It was too boring.
"By the way, some time ago, the Horizon Wing Sect asked us for help, saying that they've been attacked by the Tormented Souls. I've already sent someone to deal with it."
Elder Ruyan suddenly said.
Chu Kuangren's interest was piqued when he heard that.
"Tormented souls?"
"Yes, the Horizon Wing Sect is located near the Ancient Battlefield. It's not unusual for them to be attacked by the Tormented Souls occasionally," Elder Ruyan said.
The Tormented Souls originated from the Ancient Battlefield, one of the Ten Great Forbidden Areas. They were a unique existence formed by the combination of the Ancient Battlefield's boundless ferocious qi and the resentment of the deceased. They usually lingered around the Ancient Battlefield.
It was not unusual for the Horizon Wing Sect to be attacked by the Tormented Souls. In the past, the Black Heaven Sect had also sent people there to provide support, but it was soon over.
The elders began to report the rest of the matters.
However, the words' Ancient Battlefield 'still lingered in Chu Kuangren's mind.
He recalled the Sage War that the Eternal Sage Ruler mentioned, and the Ancient Battlefield was the battlefield of that Sage War.
He couldn't help but want to go and take a look.
"I've decided. I want to go to the Ancient Battlefield."
The elders were still reporting their work. They were stunned when they heard Chu Kuangren's words and looked at each other.
"Sect Leader, why do you want to go to the Ancient Battlefield?"
"To gain some experience."
Chu Kuangren said casually.
"Sect Leader, do you still need experience?" One of the elders said speechlessly. The others had the same expression.
'Sect Leader, stop joking.
You can even kill a Sage. What's the point of you training? '
"Of course."
"But what about the Black Heaven Sect if you leave?"
"After I leave, Elder Ruyan will temporarily take over all the sect's affairs. Contact me if you need anything."
"This …"
Elder Ruyan and the others were still a little hesitant.
"Alright, it's decided then. The Black Heaven Sect has improved a lot in the past year, and you guys have managed everything well. I don't think you guys will stop operating just because I'm not around, right?" Chu Kuangren chuckled.
'Even the heavens pity me. '
He had been cooped up in the Black Heaven Sect for a year now.
If he did not go out for a walk soon, his body would grow rusty.
"Well … Alright then."
Elder Ruyan nodded.
In fact, it was not that they did not want Chu Kuangren to leave. It was just that Chu Kuangren was the main reason why the Black Heaven Sect could develop to this stage in the past year.
Unknowingly, they had developed a certain dependence on this young Sect Leader who was only twenty years old.
When they heard that he wanted to leave the sect, they were at a loss for what to do. This was something unimaginable in the past.
How could they develop such a dependence on a young Sect Leader?
"Alright."
Chu Kuangren smiled. "Lan Yu, let's go. Let's pack our things and get ready to go out and have fun, no, train."
…
Deep within the Black Heaven Sect.
Inside the cottage, Black Heaven's Third Forefather smiled and said, "This little guy is going out to cause trouble again. Should we call someone to follow him?"
"No need."
Black Heaven's Second Forefather's voice rang out. "He can even kill a Sage now. He doesn't need any protectors anymore."
Sages were the highest combat strength known in the Firmament Star.
Without a doubt, Chu Kuangren was now one of the most powerful people in the world. Why would he need a protector?
"Heh, who knows what kind of trouble this guy will cause when he goes out." Honorable Xuan Qi chuckled.
Thinking back to Chu Kuangren's past expeditions, which one of them did not turn the world upside down and cause chaos?
If he went out now, who knew what kind of trouble he would cause?
Honorable Xuan Qi's words made the other forefathers speechless.
"This little guy is good at everything, but he's just too good at causing trouble."
"Hah, this is good too. Young people should be energetic. Let him do whatever he wants. We old guys are here to handle it anyway."
Black Heaven's Second Forefather laughed.
The Black Heaven Sect was now unprecedentedly powerful. Besides Chu Kuangren who already had the combat strength of a Sage, there were also the Three Sages, Second Forefather, Third Forefather, Fairfrost Sage, and Honorable Xuan Qi who was about to become a Sage.
On top of that, the Seventh Forefather was about to ascend as well.
Once he succeeded, he would be another Boundary Sage.
Not to mention, besides the Black Heaven Sect, the School of White Lotus and the Royal Azure Dynasty were also Chu Kuangren's strong support.
