Chapter 2074: Chapter 2029: Consecutive Visits
This pavilion is where Chen Yang and his group are staying.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve arrived. This pavilion is specially prepared for honored guests and is equipped with a formation. I won’t be going in, but will remain outside. Please call if you need anything." The crane said seriously, as it landed beneath the pavilion.
This is the rule at Divine Dragon Mountain, so Chen Yang had nothing to say.
After nodding slightly, he led He Xiran and the others inside.
The pavilion is of typical ancient style, as are its decorations.
After entering, Chen Yang wasted no time, simply gave Ao Min and He Xiran a few instructions, and then went up to the second floor by himself to cultivate.
Just now, in the battle against the Old Ghost Wuchang, he had used too much Spiritual Power.
If he doesn’t restore it, he might not be in good condition when he gets to the Divine Dragon Pool.
So he quickly recovered.
Also, he hoped to speed up the healing of the injury on his back.
Chen Yang sat cross-legged on the second floor, and didn’t know how long had passed.
When his strength returned to its peak, he opened his eyes and walked down the pavilion.
The ground floor was very quiet now; Ao Min and He Xiran were also cultivating.
Upon hearing Chen Yang’s movements, they stopped cultivating and walked toward him.
"Brother Chen Yang, you’ve finally awakened. If you hadn’t, our door would have been crushed." Ao Min complained once he reached him.
"Crushed door? What do you mean?" Chen Yang was puzzled.
Ao Min said, "You don’t know, right? Just after you went upstairs to recover, people came."
"All were from major powers, wanting to meet you, but He Xiran and I rejected them, saying you needed rest."
"Yes, many people came. Uncle also came, but upon knowing you were resting, he left." He Xiran nodded and added.
Chen Yang wasn’t surprised by the visitors but was curious about his Uncle Chen Tianmin’s visit.
Logically, they should be cautious in such a place.
"Uncle, why did they come? Is there something significant?" Chen Yang asked.
He Xiran shook his head: "No, Uncle was just worried after seeing you injured today, so he came to check on you. But I told him you’re fine."
Upon hearing his uncle came for this reason, a warmth flowed through Chen Yang’s heart.
"Just let them know. It’s best to limit visits at Divine Dragon Mountain to avoid causing trouble for them," Chen Yang remarked.
"Yes, I mentioned that too." He Xiran nodded.
Chen Yang said nothing more and directly turned to Ao Min, asking him: "Who came today?"
"The notable ones are Taixu Sword Sect, Cui Star Pavilion... and Dragon God Sect!" Ao Min listed over ten sect names.
Hearing so many came, Chen Yang was quite surprised.
He didn’t expect so many forces to be interested in him.
"Big shots, big shots."
At this moment, the crane’s voice came from outside.
"Oh, guess people are coming again." Ao Min recognized the sound.
Just from the crane’s calls.
"Should we go out and see?" Ao Min asked Chen Yang.
"Let’s have a look; maybe it might benefit us." After some thought, Chen Yang decided to check.
Mainly because today, having killed the Old Ghost Wuchang, he had angered the Ghost Gate Hall.
Living Yama had made it clear he wouldn’t let it slide; measures had to be taken. Otherwise, he might be targeted before leaving Divine Dragon Mountain.
His strength wasn’t weak, but against the deeply rooted Ghost Gate Hall, he was still somewhat inferior.
"Alright, let’s go take a look." Ao Min nodded and left the pavilion with Chen Yang.
Once outside, everyone was dazzled.
The Phoenix Bird Clan had arrived.
Even their leader came personally, bringing Feng Nihuang along.
The two elegant figures stood in front of the pavilion, very eye-catching due to their beauty.
"Phoenix Bird Clan..."
Chen Yang led Ao Min forward.
"Friend Chen Yang." The Phoenix Bird Clan Leader spoke first upon seeing Chen Yang.
Chen Yang was a junior, and logically she wouldn’t address him this way.
But in the cultivation world, there’s another rule.
If one’s cultivation has reached the Spirit Gathering Realm, they can be called a power in their own right.
If unfamiliar, addressing them as "friend" is the most appropriate.
Thus, the Phoenix Bird Clan Leader Feng Qingwu addressing Chen Yang this way was appropriate.
"Clan Leader Feng!" Chen Yang replied politely and then courteously said, "Clan Leader Feng graces us with her presence, my apologies for not welcoming you sooner."
Feng Qingwu chuckled lightly, each move alluring.
"Friend Chen Yang, you’re too courteous. We interrupted and disturbed your rest; it hardly seems right to say such things." Feng Qingwu commented.
Chen Yang smiled and didn’t engage in small talk further.
Knowing Feng Qingwu didn’t just come for a casual visit, he invited them into the pavilion.
After serving two cups of tea, they formally began talking.
Feng Qingwu came straight to the point: "Friend Chen Yang now has quite the reputation. I figure everyone at Divine Dragon Mountain is discussing you today."
"Hehe, it’s nothing about being famous; it’s just a coincidence." Chen Yang modestly smiled, avoiding the topic.
"It’s actually no coincidence; being able to slay Old Ghost Wuchang demonstrates your profound cultivation and formidable combat strength." Feng Qingwu insisted.
"I’ve been cultivating for some years, slight achievements, haven’t wasted my time." Chen Yang didn’t always remain humble.
Excessive humility lowers oneself and appears hypocritical.
"Hehe, witnessing your display today genuinely piqued my curiosity. There’s something I’d like to ask you." Feng Qingwu said.
Chen Yang put down his teacup, serious: "Clan Leader Feng, feel free to ask. If I can answer, I certainly will."
"Hmm... Your cultivation is so profound, surely you aren’t just a Loose Cultivator? Without the support of a powerful sect, reaching this realm seems unlikely." Feng Qingwu stated.
Indeed.
Coming here wasn’t just about simple networking.
They’re definitely inquiring about backgrounds, aiming to recruit.
But this was precisely what Chen Yang needed.
Not only for the present but for the future as well.
Recently, Chen Yang learned much about the cultivation world via Ao Min and his uncle.
Though it appears peaceful, the cultivation world is turbulent beneath.
Each major power has interwoven relationships; their strengths deeply entwined, very complex.
Moving one strand risks affecting the whole.
Making connections with strong sects now might be beneficial against the Blood Bat Hall later.
Relying solely on the Covens Alliance against Blood Bat Hall seems too feeble...
As even solving Blood Bat Hall wouldn’t come without a price.
But leveraging others’ strength changes everything.
Dealing with Blood Bat Hall becomes much easier.
"Hehe, not to keep from Clan Leader Feng, I am indeed just a Loose Cultivator, without any sect." Chen Yang laughed.
Upon hearing this, Feng Qingwu appeared a bit surprised.
Though she didn’t show it.
Meanwhile, her view of Chen Yang changed.
