Within a quiet room, Chen Heng sat by himself and looked at Gao Yue as he spoke softly.
Without a doubt, the woman in front of him was extremely mysterious. In the past, he suspected that she had been hiding in the Flowing Cloud Sect, but he did not know why.
However, from the current situation, it was clear that the other party was not as simple as he seemed. He could be considered an extraordinary character.
In that case, what was her goal in hiding in the Flowing Cloud Sect?
Chen Heng could not help but think about this question.
And this was a question that could only be answered by the man himself.
As such, he raised his head and looked at the woman in front of him.
Under Chen Heng's gaze, Gao Yue fell silent for a moment before looking up and giving a slight smile.
"Sir must be joking."
She smiled as she looked at Chen Heng and said softly, "I don't have much to do with the Extermination Demon Sect's demon disciples.
"If I really have to say it, I do have a blood feud with him."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Chen Heng's expression was calm, but he was a bit surprised, "I'd like to hear the details."
"Decades ago, a new Demon Sovereign appeared in the Extermination Demon Sect.
This Demon Sovereign's cultivation was unparalleled and had long since surpassed Profound Understanding. Even among Demon Sovereigns, he was extremely powerful.
"Under his leadership, the Extermination Demon Sect continuously expanded outwards and conquered other kingdoms to strengthen themselves.
30 years ago, the demon disciple chaos in Yue came about because of this. "
She sat opposite Chen Heng and sighed as she said, "The place where I was born was also destroyed because of this, so I had to escape to the Yue Kingdom and hide in the Flowing Cloud Sect."
"Is that so?"
Hearing Gao Yue's words, Chen Heng thought for a moment before nodding, "I never thought that Miss Gao would have such a background.
My ancestor and the Flowing Cloud Sect's ancestor were old friends, so through some arrangements, I was able to hide in the Flowing Cloud Sect until now. "
Gao Yue continued to explain.
As they spoke, she explained everything about herself in detail.
The place where Gao Yue had been born was called the Rou Kingdom, and it was a kingdom established by ancient cultivators. It had a long history, but it had long since declined and could not defeat the Extermination Demon Sect. As such, it had been destroyed and devoured.
As for Gao Yue herself, she used to be the princess of the Rou Kingdom. She was the only one who escaped from the Rou Kingdom's royal family.
The reason why he had escaped to the Yue Kingdom and came to the Flowing Cloud Sect was because his ancestor had a relationship with the Flowing Cloud Sect.
"Sir, you can go and investigate them one by one in the future."
In front of Chen Heng, Gao Yue lightly laughed before calmly saying, "After all, the entire Flowing Cloud Sect is in your hands, so if you want to investigate the past, it will not be a big deal."
"Perhaps."
Chen Heng smiled before asking, "What about Junior Apprentice Sister Hou?"
"Junior Sister Hou, as a woman, being able to leave the Sky Cloud Martial School's dungeon, you must have played a part in it, right?"
Looking at Gao Yue in front of him, he asked softly.
This wasn't anything else, it was just pure speculation.
After all, under normal circumstances, with Hou Juan's strength back then, it would have been impossible for her to leave the Flowing Cloud Sect's dungeon.
If the Flowing Cloud Sect's dungeon was so easy to leave, the Flowing Cloud Sect would not have been the leader of the Yue Kingdom's three sects.
It was obvious that someone else must have contributed in that incident to allow Hou Juan to leave.
"That's right, it was me."
Meeting Chen Heng's gaze, Gao Yue calmly nodded and did not deny it.
In actuality, even if she wanted to deny it, she could not.
Right now, Hou Juan was in the Flowing Cloud Sect and would wake up soon.
After it woke up, Chen Heng would also know about everything that had happened.
Rather than denying it now and being exposed later, it was better to just tell him everything.
After all, what she was going to do was not something that could not be seen.
As such, she told Chen Heng everything she had done.
Hearing this, Chen Heng inwardly frowned.
"But you've done so much. What's your purpose?"
He raised his head and looked at Gao Yue in front of him. He was a little confused. "Why are you doing this for no reason?"
Evidently, Gao Yue and Hou Juan did not have much of a relationship.
Yet, Gao Yue had done so much for Hou Juan. Not only had she attracted the Flowing Cloud Sect's attention, but she had also given her a One Qi Pill, giving her an opportunity to leave.
After doing so much, what was Gao Yue's goal?
Was it worth it?
Chen Heng knew that even though Hou Juan looked quite ordinary, she was someone with Heaven's Fate.
But Gao Yue obviously didn't know about this.
Why was she doing this?
Chen Heng's expression was calm, but he felt quite confused. Looking at Gao Yue, he wanted an answer.
Seeming to sense Chen Heng's gaze, Gao Yue lightly laughed before lowering her head and saying respectfully, "It was just to sow some good karma.
Perhaps Sir Xu does not know, but I know that Miss Hou's identity is not so simple.
Her body has some sort of unique God Bloodline, but it has been dormant for a long time, which is why it looks like this.
If Miss Hou's God Bloodline awakens, her potential will be completely awakened, and she will have hope of surpassing Profound Understanding and reaching the Sovereign realm. "
Gao Yue said softly.
"Sovereign …"
Hearing Gao Yue's words, Chen Heng nodded and understood.
The Venerables of this world were roughly equivalent to half-step Perfected Lords.
The so-called Demon Sovereigns were all at this level.
As for the experts in the Venerable Realm, they were basically equivalent to True Monarchs.
They were not much different from when Chen Heng was at his peak.
If Hou Juan had the potential to become a Venerable One, or even a top-grade Venerable One, as Gao Yue had said, it would not be surprising for her to do that.
After all, she was a future Sovereign, and it was worth it.
"However, God Bloodline …"
Hearing Gao Yue's words, a thought flashed in Chen Heng's mind.
The so-called God Bloodline was recorded in this world.
It was said that in ancient times, gods had descended into this world, and they were Connate Saints.
These Innate Saint Gods walked on the ground, and as time passed, they gradually disappeared.
The bloodlines they left behind in the human world were called God Bloodlines.
Ordinarily speaking, those with God Bloodlines were innately powerful and had a portion of their ancestors' power, giving them extraordinary potential.
If Hou Juan had God Bloodlines, perhaps she would be able to become a Sovereign or even surpass the Sovereign realm, just as Gao Yue had said.
As for the truth, it would be easy to verify.
Thinking to there, Chen Heng lowered his head and thought for a moment before looking up, "Then what is this so-called One Qi Pill?"
"One Qi Pill is a high-grade medicinal pill from the Rou Kingdom. There aren't many of them, and I only have two left."
Looking at Chen Heng, Gao Yue smiled and understood what Chen Heng was thinking. As such, she stretched out her hand and took out an item.
A wooden box was placed in front of Chen Heng, and it was placed on the table in front of him.
Opening the wooden box, a rich medicinal fragrance quickly spread out. It was a very unique smell.
The item inside was none other than a golden pill.
There were some detailed inscriptions on the medicinal pill, making it look quite unique.
"This is the One Qi Pill?"
Looking at the One Qi Pill in the wooden box, Chen Heng felt quite interested and looked at it seriously.
"That's right."
Gao Yue nodded and then continued, "This pill has a miraculous effect. It can allow people to temporarily break through a realm and have the strength of the next realm, but it is very dangerous. In the end, the user will be seriously injured and in the worst case, the foundation of cultivation will be damaged."
"Even so, this is still a precious item and lives up to its name."
Chen Heng said softly.
This kind of medicinal pill could allow one to temporarily reach the next realm and have the power of the next realm. It was undoubtedly quite terrifying.
It would not be an exaggeration to praise its effects.
"I'll give this One Qi Pill to sir."
Looking at Chen Heng, Gao Yue smiled before adding, "However, at sir's level, the effects of the One Qi Pill have already surpassed what it can do.
"If sir uses this One Qi Pill, perhaps you will be able to become stronger, but if you want to break through like Miss Hou, it will be impossible."
"It's fine."
Chen Heng nodded, not feeling too surprised.
Although it was the same as advancing to the next realm, the amount of energy required was always different depending on the realm as the base.
Raising a realm using Foundation Building as the base and raising a realm using Chen Heng's current realm would require completely different amounts of energy.
It was very normal for it to lead to such an outcome.
In actuality, the fact that this One Qi Pill was still effective for him was already quite good.
Thinking to there, Chen Heng inwardly shook his head and did not say anything else.
Within the room, the two of them continued to chat, talking about many things.
After chatting for a while, Gao Yue told Chen Heng her goal.
She hoped that Chen Heng would accompany her to the Rou Kingdom at the right time to take something back.
It was a historical remnant in the Rou Kingdom, and it was very dangerous.
Only those who surpassed Profound Understanding and reached the peak of the Sovereign realm had the right to go there.
"This historical remnant is the Rou Kingdom's greatest secret, as well as the most important thing."
In front of Chen Heng, Gao Yue's expression became serious as she got up and knelt down, "I only want to take one of those things; the rest can belong to sir.
"After this is done, if sir is willing, I am willing to stay by sir's side and bring tea and water, wash clothes, and cook for sir."
She had a solemn expression on her face as she spoke seriously. It seemed that she was very serious.
After hearing Chen Heng's reply, she walked out of the room and left.
"Rou Kingdom …"
Chen Heng sat in the room by himself and watched as Gao Yue's reaction gradually disappeared. His expression was calm as he thought to himself.
"From the looks of it, I've been dragged into some inexplicable matters."
He looked at the sunlight outside the room and softly muttered to himself.
Following this, the surroundings passed by peacefully.
Soon, a few days had passed.
Over the past few days, there did not seem to be any changes.
The Flowing Cloud Sect was still the same as before, but there was now an Enforcement Elder.
Before, when the Flowing Cloud Sect's Guardian Formation had been destroyed, it did not seem to affect this ancient sect at all.
Under the leadership of the Flowing Cloud Sect's Sect Master and the other Elders, the Flowing Cloud Sect's disciples went about their daily routine, cultivating and doing things.
Looking at the situation before him, it was as if nothing had happened at all. He was exceptionally calm.
Compared to before, they only had an additional Elder.
However, this was not much. After all, even though this Elder was powerful, he would not do anything to ordinary disciples, and he seemed quite amiable.
In just a few days, the Flowing Cloud Sect had returned to how it was before, and it was incredibly peaceful.
This made the other factions that had hurried over feel quite surprised.
The Yue Kingdom's factions had been paying attention to the battle between Chen Heng and the Flowing Cloud Sect for a long time.
Before, when they had heard that the Zhang clan's clan leader had gone to the Flowing Cloud Sect, the Yue Kingdom's factions had understood that a great upheaval was about to occur.
They had planned to quickly act after the Zhang clan's clan leader was defeated and captured by the Flowing Cloud Sect, devouring the Zhang clan's businesses.
It had to be said that over the past 30 years, the Zhang clan had been called the fourth faction below the three major sects for a good reason.
The Zhang clan had become many times more powerful in Chen Heng's hands, and they now had many businesses.
It was for these businesses that the Flowing Cloud Sect had wanted to make a move against Chen Heng.
It was just that what had happened next was shocking.
The Zhang clan's clan leader had rushed to the Flowing Cloud Sect, and in the battle, the Flowing Cloud Sect's six Elders had been defeated, and the Guardian Formation had been destroyed. He had been completely defeated by the Zhang clan's clan leader.
This sort of strength could be said to be the number one person in the Yue Kingdom, causing countless bystanders to feel quite shocked.
What had happened next was even more shocking.
The Zhang clan's clan leader had destroyed the Guardian Formation, and logically speaking, the Flowing Cloud Sect should have been destroyed and devoured by the Zhang clan.
This was a massive upheaval, comparable to the Demon Disciple Rebellion from 30 years ago.
In response, many factions had long since made preparations, preparing to pounce on the Flowing Cloud Sect after they fell and devour their corpses.
However, in the end, they did not do so.
After that battle, the Zhang clan's clan leader reconciled with the Flowing Cloud Sect and became an Elder of the Flowing Cloud Sect.
This caused many people to be dumbfounded.
As such, over the past few days, many people had gone to the Flowing Cloud Sect to ask about the situation.
From the looks of it, there would be even more coming.
News of Chen Heng becoming the Flowing Cloud Sect's Enforcement Elder and the successor to the Sect Master soon spread.
After hearing this, many people looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
They had hoped that the Zhang clan and the Flowing Cloud Sect would fight each other.
When two tigers fought, one would definitely be injured.
When that time came, they would rush up and devour the one who lost, turning their corpse into their own nourishment.
However, what they had not expected was that this would be the result.
From a certain perspective, it could be said that the Zhang clan and the Flowing Cloud Sect had merged.
The two forces, which were already extremely powerful, would become even more powerful.
Evidently, this was not something that many people wanted to see.
However, even if they did not want to see it, what could they do?
Under the current circumstances, there was nothing they could do. There was nothing they could do.
A few days later, some changes happened within the Flowing Cloud Sect.
Over the next few days, not only did the Flowing Cloud Sect's disciples start to adapt to these changes, but even Hou Juan, who had been unconscious, started to wake up.
Early in the morning, the sun shone on the earth, bringing warmth to the entire world. It was extremely bright and warm.
Within a room, Hou Juan was wearing a long robe and was lying on a bed, her face looking somewhat pale.
A few days passed. In these few days, Hou Juan received the best treatment possible. Not only did she consume a large amount of spiritual medicine and pills every day, there were also specialized people who came over to massage her with their mana to activate her Qi and blood.
However, despite all of this, her face still looked quite pale and bloodless.
It seemed that the aftereffects of consuming the One Qi Pill were still there and had not completely disappeared.
But at this time, she finally made some movement.
As her eyelashes trembled, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at this world.
A faint light appeared, looking quite dazzling at first, but after a while, she got used to it.
Only after she regained consciousness did Hou Juan see where she was.
She was surrounded by an unfamiliar room that was spacious and beautiful, and she was no longer in the wilderness.
And in front of her stood a very familiar person.
This was a very handsome young man. He was tall and straight, and he was dressed in white. At this moment, he was sitting on the side of the bed, looking at her.
Under the faint light, the young man's appearance was very clear and beautiful. He seemed quite gentle and seemed to match the image of a certain person in her memories.
Looking at the young man before her, Hou Juan was taken aback for a moment before the corner of her eyes twitched. She quickly reacted and exclaimed, "Senior!"
"You're awake?"
Sitting on the bed and looking at Hou Juan who was gradually waking up, Chen Heng nodded and smiled, "After sleeping for so long, it's time to wake up."
"Senior Apprentice Brother …"
In front of him, Hou Juan, who was lying on the bed, asked, "Where is this place?"
