One after another, god-level powerhouses appeared, their arrival eliciting gasps of amazement and cheers.
Everyone harbors the dream of becoming a god-level powerhouse, yearning to one day stand at that height.
However, reality is harsh. Although there are some exceptionally talented individuals present, on whom their families place high hopes, whether they can ultimately reach that level remains to be seen.
After all, the path to becoming a god-level powerhouse is fraught with hardship, and only a few can succeed.
Jiang Chen looked up at the sky and suddenly saw two beams of light flash by.
He smiled slightly, recognizing Hong Jishi as his return. However, to his surprise, Hong Jishi was accompanied by a middle-aged beautiful woman.
Jiang Chen stepped forward and greeted him respectfully, "Teacher, you're back."
Hong Jishi nodded, but seemed somewhat embarrassed. The middle-aged woman smiled and said to Jiang Chen, "You must be Old Hong's disciple, Xiao Chen?"
A glint of light flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes as he quickly discerned the relationship between the two. He smiled and replied, "Greetings, Master's Wife."
Hong Ki-seok raised an eyebrow slightly, but did not refute.
The middle-aged woman was clearly pleased with Jiang Chen's address. She smiled and took something out of her pocket, handing it to Jiang Chen: "What a good boy! Your master's wife didn't prepare anything, so consider this a small gift for us."
Jiang Chen was surprised by his master's wife's enthusiasm, but he knew the principle of not refusing a gift from an elder, so he accepted the gift generously.
Seeing this, Hong Jishi had no choice but to introduce her: "Her name is Liu Qingqing, level 95, a god-level alchemist." Jiang Chen was shocked. God-level alchemists were extremely rare in the empire. He quickly and respectfully greeted her: "Hello, Master's wife."
Upon hearing the title "Master's Wife," Liu Qingqing beamed with joy and readily agreed.
Hong Jishi watched this scene from the side and shook his head helplessly. Lin Zhenzi and several old friends came over and congratulated Hong Jishi and Liu Qingqing: "Congratulations, Lao Hong, on finding such a good partner."
Hong Jishi waved his hand, somewhat displeased, and said, "Go away, you old folks, stop causing trouble." But they didn't seem to care about his reaction and continued to congratulate Liu Qingqing: "Congratulations, Goddess Liu, you've finally tied the knot with Old Hong."
Liu Qingqing smiled happily and said, "Thank you all for your blessings. I will definitely invite you to my wedding banquet."
“Great, we’ll definitely be there on time,” everyone responded.
"Don't forget to prepare a generous gift, otherwise it won't be enough," someone joked.
"Of course, I won't let you down."
Suddenly, a majestic tower appeared in the sky, the phantom of the Divine Dragon Tower.
Jiang Chen said in a low voice, "Teacher Li has arrived!"
Immediately afterwards, a group of figures quickly ascended into the air. They were all women, each with a beautiful appearance and extraordinary temperament.
They must have been stunning beauties in their youth, in no way inferior to Yi Ning and others.
Hong Jishi quipped from the side, "Look, these are Old Li's confidantes."
"If Old Li is willing, you'll immediately have dozens more master's wives," Hong Jishi said jokingly, looking at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen replied with a smile, "Then I'm going to make a fortune."
Hong Jishi's lips twitched. "You greedy little brat." Jiang Chen smiled mischievously. "Teacher, you should try harder too."
Hong Jishi was taken aback. "What kind of oil?"
Jiang Chen blinked. "Try to find me a junior brother or sister."
"Get out!" Hong Jishi was so angry he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and he almost hit his mischievous disciple to teach him a lesson.
Jiang Chen took out the gift Liu Qingqing had given him and examined it carefully.
"God-level Recovery Potion: A potion containing god-level recovery power, which can quickly restore physical strength and injuries in a short period of time."
"Great stuff!" Jiang Chen was overjoyed; this potion could save his life in a critical moment.
Whether severely injured or weakened, anyone who drinks this potion can recover in a very short time. Jiang Chen knew all too well how difficult it was to create a divine-level recovery potion; it required the combined efforts of a divine-level alchemist and a divine-level healer.
Moreover, each creation consumes a significant amount of the maker's energy and effort. This potion was clearly meticulously prepared by Liu Qingqing for Jiang Chen, containing enough divine-level energy to support his use several times.
With this potion, Jiang Chen felt as if he had an extra life.
Unexpectedly, Liu Qingqing would be so generous in gifting him such a treasure; this mistress of his was indeed a kind-hearted person. The illusory image of the Divine Dragon Tower in the sky continued to flicker, but Li Xueru's figure had not yet appeared.
Jiang Chen walked to Lin Cai'er's side, smiled, and handed her a delicate little box. "Cai'er, this is for you."
The box contained the divine-level recovery potion he had previously obtained from Liu Qingqing. For Jiang Chen, this potion wasn't essential, but for Lin Cai'er, it was a lifesaver in a critical moment.
Lin Cai'er took the box with a puzzled look, opened it, and immediately widened her eyes in surprise, "A divine-level recovery potion!" She hurriedly tried to return the potion to Jiang Chen, "This is too precious, I can't accept it." Jiang Chen gently pressed her hand, "This potion isn't very useful to me, but it's a lifesaver for you in critical moments. I'll feel more at ease if you keep it. Listen to me, accept it."
Looking into Jiang Chen's earnest eyes, Lin Cai'er felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She nodded gently and put the potion away. "Thank you, Jiang Chen."
Jiang Chen smiled, turned and left, "You guys continue chatting, I'll go check what's going on over there."
He looked up at the sky, where a battle between god-level powerhouses was about to unfold. Jiang Chen was curious to see how the usually composed Li Xueru would handle this challenge.
Chu Yao whispered to Lin Cai'er, "Junior Jiang really cares about you."
Lin Cai'er blushed slightly and nodded gently, "I know."
Yi Ning whispered in Lin Cai'er's ear, "Cai'er, you can't hold Jiang Chen back anymore."
Lin Cai'er nodded earnestly, "I understand. I will try my best to level up on my own, even though it will be slower and more tiring, I don't want to be a burden to him."
Yi Ning continued, "Jiang Chen is facing increasingly powerful enemies. If he can't level up quickly, he might encounter enemies he can't handle in the future. You need to work hard and try to catch up with him as soon as possible."
Lin Cai'er nodded firmly, "I will."
Chu Yao sighed softly, "Junior Jiang has his own path, which is indeed different from ours."
Yi Ning echoed softly, "Everyone's path is unique."
Lin Cai'er clenched her little fists, her eyes shining with determination. "I also have my own path. Grandpa once told me that as long as I keep going, I can also achieve something extraordinary."
Chu Yao smiled and encouraged, "Of course, our little Cai'er has always been outstanding."
At this moment, the illusory image of the Divine Dragon Tower in the air finally became clear and solid after a long period of condensation.
In the instant he solidified, Li Xueru's figure appeared out of thin air, as elegant as a jade tree in the wind. Behind him, the Divine Dragon Pagoda stood majestically, as if becoming his guardian deity.
Li Xueru stood there, and even without deliberately releasing his aura, he already exuded an unprecedented sense of oppression. His presence seemed to overwhelm the entire world, so powerful that it was suffocating.
The crowd below gasped in astonishment at Li Xueru's power.
"The Confucian God! This is the Confucian God!"
"Too strong, stronger than any of the previous god-level powerhouses."
"I feel that the Divine Dragon Tower has become just a foil to the Confucian God."
People were abuzz with discussion, deeply impressed by Li Xueru's abilities.
The group of god-level experts were also exchanging words in private. Lin Zhenzi said in a low voice, "I didn't expect this guy to actually step into the ranks of advanced gods before us." Sword God Feng An also sighed, "Level 96, that's really enviable." His sword aura soared into the sky, and his fighting spirit burned fiercely. "I really want to fight him once and see whose swordsmanship is stronger."
Hong Jishi scoffed dismissively, "Fighting with him is the most boring thing; you can't even find where the enemy is."
Feng Anzai's fighting spirit vanished instantly: "You're right, his ability to hide is indeed a headache."
When Li Xueru appeared, the beauties who had taken off earlier swarmed around him like bees. But surprisingly, after a moment, these beauties dispersed, and none of them lingered around Li Xueru.
Li Xueru walked through a sea of flowers without a single petal clinging to him, landing calmly on the ground. This scene left everyone speechless, marveling at his charm and strength.
