Immortal cultivation starts with copying.

Chapter 810 Master Xiao

The waiter talked for almost an hour before stopping, recounting one of the things he considered to be major events.

There were dozens of items, big and small, but Chen Yunhao didn't say a word; he just listened quietly.

Analyze which aspects of the events recounted by the waiter are useful to you.

Three things are most relevant and useful, the first being the fight that took place at the abandoned iron mine.

This is the origin of the whole story, but it has been distorted by others and is no longer the true story of their original struggle.

The story circulating now is that Zong Duan displayed incredible power, defeating two Tribulation Transcending cultivators single-handedly and driving them away.

Of course, this might have been deliberately spread by Zong Duan in order to save face.

After hearing this, Chen Yunhao simply smiled faintly, saying that it was all just empty fame and there was no point in fighting for it.

Another incident happened five years ago, supposedly outside that sect nearby.

The sect above Yongchang Immortal City is called Tianwu Sect, which means the Golden Crow in the sky.

This is also a sect famous for its weapon crafting, and it has a weapon crafting master who has transcended tribulation.

Chen Yunhao's second treasure was crafted by this master craftsman surnamed Xiao.

The reason he chose to live in Yongchang Xiancheng was so that he could get the second treasure as soon as possible.

This was a treasure he valued highly; the weapon-refining master surnamed Xiao was more skilled than Master Wen.

Therefore, Chen Yunhao entrusted this person with the most important top-grade spiritual treasure to help him refine it.

Five years ago, another battle took place near Tianwu Gate. According to the waiter, it was also a battle between Zong Duan and another cultivator who had undergone tribulation.

Finally, it was said that Master Xiao was alerted, and the battle ended.

Upon hearing this news, Chen Yunhao could already picture it in his mind.

It should be Lu Tiancheng coming to collect the treasure he reserved; originally, Chen Yunhao was supposed to come to collect it in the third year.

Lu Tiancheng arrived later than him and took the fruit in his fifth year, so the timing makes sense.

It must have been Zong Duan who secretly planted his men, just waiting for Lu Tiancheng to come to him of his own accord.

Just as people had said, Zong Duan was extremely petty and a vindictive scoundrel.

Five years have passed, and Chen Yunhao feels that Zong Duan is probably still waiting for him, which makes the matter a bit tricky.

However, he was not afraid. His strength had increased by another level, and with his spatial abilities, even if he couldn't defeat Zong Duan, he could at least fight him to a draw, and his life would be safe.

He just didn't want to cause trouble, so he needed to think of a way to handle the matter.

"Go down...!"

Chen Yunhao picked up the spirit crystal and tossed it gently.

"Thank you so much, senior! Thank you so much, senior!!"

The waiter caught it with both hands, his face beaming with joy, bowing and scraping repeatedly as he backed away from the private room.

Chen Yunhao took a sip of the spiritual wine and pondered quietly.

As they were both undergoing tribulation, he wasn't afraid of that sect, but since they were on someone else's turf, it was best to minimize trouble. It was better to avoid trouble than to cause more.

He considered several methods, including using his spatial abilities to secretly infiltrate the Heavenly Crow Gate.

However, it is ultimately inappropriate to infiltrate a sect so rashly.

After much deliberation, he still couldn't come up with a suitable solution. However, he decided to use his current transformed cultivation level and appearance to quietly approach the Heavenly Crow Gate, taking it one step at a time.

Once you get close to the Heavenly Five Crow Gate, you'll be safe.

As the saying goes, one cannot allow others to sleep soundly beside one's bed. Although Zong Duan was a local tyrant, he had no control over Tianwu Gate and Yongchang Immortal City.

This area, spanning tens of thousands of miles, is all Tianwumen's territory, not Zongduan's.

Even if Zong Duan had the cultivation level of the sixth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, he still couldn't afford to offend Master Xiao; that was a fact.

Chen Yunhao went straight out of the city, took out his Aurora Boat which he used to use, and disguised himself as an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

Yongchang Immortal City is not far from Tianwu Gate, only six or seven thousand miles away.

Tianwu Gate is built in a valley, which is said to be directly connected to the earth's fire, making it the most suitable place for alchemy and weapon crafting.

Chen Yunhao piloted the Aurora Boat, swaying gently for two hours, until he arrived at the entrance to the Tianwu Gate valley.

Once you arrive here, you've entered the territory of Tianwu Gate. Not only here, but even a thousand miles outwards, outsiders are not allowed to fight freely within that thousand-mile radius. This is the rule of the spirit realm.

But Chen Yunhao arrived at the mountain gate without incident, and no one stopped him.

Even now, Chen Yunhao is still wondering if his disguise technique worked. But that shouldn't be the case!

His disguise technique might fool low-level cultivators, but it won't fool those above the Mahayana level at all.

Once here, Chen Yunhao no longer needed to pretend, so he reverted to his true form and released his aura.

"Which senior is visiting? Please stop!"

Early on, the disciples of Tianwu Sect had already spotted Chen Yunhao.

"Go tell your family's patriarch, Xiao, that Chen Yunhao has come to collect the pre-ordered spiritual treasure."

"Please wait a moment, senior, while we report to them."

About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a cultivator in the late Mahayana stage floated out of the valley.

"Senior Chen, my martial uncle requests your presence...!"

This person is Master Xiao's nephew, and is specifically responsible for receiving powerful beings like Chen Yunhao who are undergoing tribulation.

This was the same person who received Chen Yunhao when he came before, so the two were somewhat familiar with each other.

"Is Master Xiao taking a rest today?"

As Chen Yunhao stepped into the valley, he asked.

“Indeed, Senior Chen, you’ve come at the perfect time. My martial uncle only emerged from seclusion yesterday…”

As they spoke, the two crossed the valley and arrived at a cave near the cliff.

There are houses in this valley, but Master Xiao has lived in this cave for many years.

Because this cave contains the best earth fire and the best fire-igniting array, it is the most suitable place for refining weapons.

"Master Xiao, I'm so sorry for being a few years late!"

"Fellow Daoist Chen, there's no need to say more. I already know about your affairs. Fellow Daoist Lu Tiancheng already mentioned it last time...!"

"I'm so sorry to have caused Master Xiao trouble."

Chen Yunhao extended his hand and clasped his fists.

"How can this be your fault? It's just that everyone knows that Zong Duan is petty and narrow-minded. Last time, he dared to intercept fellow cultivators near my sect, and I taught him a lesson. Fellow Daoist Lu can rest assured."

"I see. That explains why the journey was so smooth. Thank you, Master Xiao."

At this point, Chen Yunhao finally understood why he had escaped unscathed all the way.

Master Xiao's status and position in the Spirit Realm are far beyond what ordinary Tribulation Transcending cultivators like them can compare to, and his strength is also considerable.

If Zong Duan intercepted a cultivator undergoing tribulation at his doorstep, wouldn't that be a slap in his face? Tianwu Sect is a business, how could it be ruined by Zong Duan?
