Chapter 431: Chapter 163: The Ding that Suppresses Everything, Taiyuan Five Ancestors!_1
The Hidden Sect was far from the Tianshui Sect, but it wouldn’t take long if travelling by Flying Boat.
Thanks to the Daoist methods used by Chen Chang’an, the two arrived quickly at the Hidden Sect’s domain.
Below, surrounded by mountain ranges under the sky, a vast Heavenly Palace stood resolutely.
Within the palace, numerous pavilions, buildings, and palaces were enshrouded by lingering Immortal Qi.
It looked like a truly genuine celestial land.
Within this fairy-like palace, hundreds or even thousands of Hidden Sect disciples could be seen moving around.
"Is Dao Xuan present? Chen Chang’an, the Peak Master of the Tianshui Sect, together with his fellow disciple Li Daoran, come to visit."
Once they arrived, Chen Chang’an shouted from mid-air, his voice reverberating throughout the entire Hidden Sect.
Hum hum hum~!
In an instant, a resonating hum echoed, and within the boundaries of the Hidden Sect, one protective matrix after another began to rise.
As a sect known for Artifact Refining, their ability to set up matrixes speaks to their immense capabilities and strength.
Hum hum hum~!
"So, Saint Chen has arrived, please come in, please come in."
The next moment, several figures wearing Daoist robes appeared in the sky. Leading them was an elderly man with a ruddy complexion, full of vigor.
The old man held a whisk, and was initially very nervous.
However, after seeing that it was Chen Chang’an and Li Daoran who had arrived, his tense expression disappeared instantaneously.
He then hurriedly bowed towards Chen Chang’an and Li Daoran.
This old man was none other than the Sect Master of the Hidden Sect, Dao Xuan.
"Dao Xuan, sorry to impose, but I have a favor to ask."
"Please listen to my request." Upon seeing Dao Xuan and his disciples, Chen Chang’an got straight to the point, stating his purpose of visit after stepping out of the cloud layer.
"I hope you can lend me your Taiyi fairy tripod." After finishing, Chen Chang’an bowed towards Dao Xuan.
"I can’t, I really can’t, Saint Chen, I really can’t."
Upon seeing Chen Chang’an bow, Dao Xuan quickly shook his head and moved forward to stop him.
In the Cultivation World, position is determined by strength, the stronger one’s fist, the higher one’s status.
With his current standing, Chen Chang’an was several levels stronger than Dao Xuan.
Receiving a bow from such a formidable figure was something Dao Xuan simply couldn’t accept.
Then, he looked at Chen Chang’an and asked:
"Saint Chen, it’s not that I can’t lend you the fairy tripod. Can I just ask, what do you want to use the Taiyi fairy tripod of our sect for?"
Although the Taiyi fairy tripod is the treasure of the Hidden Sect, it has been borrowed by others on occasion.
Powerful entities or invincible figures could use the Taiyi fairy tripod if they were willing to pay a certain price.
However, borrowing was possible, but they indeed needed to clarify what it was for.
"To let you know, I plan to forge a heavy weapon." Chen Chang’an said.
"Forge a weapon?"
Hearing Chen Chang’an’s words, Dao Xuan looked at him in surprise. However, the surprise shortly replaced by an expression saying it was only to be expected.
A powerful figure like Chen Chang’an who had ascended to the Supreme Saint would naturally have to create a charged weapon. That was a very normal thing.
What surprised Dao Xuan was that Chen Chang’an wanted to use their sect’s Taiyi fairy tripod.
At this moment, Chen Chang’an spoke: "What do you think, can it be done?"
"It definitely can. Please use the Taiyi fairy tripod as you like, Saint Chen." Dao Xuan nodded. Having a good relation with a formidable figure like Chang’an was something the Hidden Sect strived for. How could they refuse?
"Thank you, Dao Xuan." At this, a light smile appeared at the corner of Chen Chang’an’s mouth. He then pointed towards Li Daoran, saying:
"This is my elder brother, also the Sect Master Li Daoran. We’re here to discuss some issues regarding the Hengduan Mountain range."
"I don’t know much about these transactions. I’ll leave it to Dao Xuan and my elder brother to negotiate."
"Nice to meet you, Dao Xuan." At this point, Li Daoran stepped forward, greeting Dao Xuan with a bow.
Even though both were Sect Masters, it would usually take some effort for Li Daoran to meet Dao Xuan under normal circumstances.
However, it was not the case now.
"Nice to meet you, Li Daoran." Dao Xuan didn’t dare to delay, returning the greeting immediately.
They then started discussing the topic of the Hengduan Mountain range.
Although the Hengduan Mountain range was far from the Hidden Sect, it was still a strategic location for the sect. Inside the mountain range there were many raw materials required for the Hidden sect disciples’ training.
However, because of the constant presence of a Great Demon in the Hengduan Mountain range, the Hidden Sect seldom operated freely there.
But things were different now; word spread that the person in charge of the Hengduan Mountain range was none other than Chen Chang’an.
And who was Chen Chang’an?
The Ninth Stage Supreme Saint!
With his protection, the Hidden Sect would be able to operate freely in the Hengduan Mountain range in the future.
In exchange, the disciples of the Hidden Sect, when exploring the Hengduan Mountain range, would accompany the disciples of the Tianshui Sect, as for what concessions they would have to make, that would be another matter.
