I Have A Martial Arts Panel-Chapter 241 - Gray’s Advancement
Chapter 241 Gray’s Advancement
Cheng Zengtao personally arranged accommodations for Xu Ning.
When he walked out of Xu Ning’s accommodation, he felt strangely secure.
“Zengtao.”
After taking a few steps in the mansion, Cheng Zengtao was suddenly stopped. Cheng Zengtao turned around and saw that the person who stopped him was his uncle, the current head of the Cheng family, Cheng Jinxian.
Cheng Jinxian was the person with the highest cultivation in the Cheng family. He was in the fourth stage of the dao realm.
If it weren’t for Leng Ran and Cheng Jinxian coming out at the same time, even if the Swallow Heron Sect was disbanded, the core disciples would still be hunted down by the Wind Parasol Pavilion and the Green Edge Sect.
“Uncle.”
Cheng Zengtao stopped.
“I heard you have a guest?”
Cheng Jinxian raised his eyebrows and asked.
“A friend.”
Cheng Zengtao paused for a moment and didn’t explain in detail. “Which friend?”
Cheng Jinxian stared at Cheng Zengtao.
Cheng Zengtao noticed the dissatisfaction in Cheng Jinxian’s tone.
“That person is related to the Swallow Heron Sect, right?”
Before Cheng Zengtao could respond, Cheng Jinxian took the initiative to speak.
“Yes…”
Cheng Zengtao nodded.
Obviously, Cheng Jinxian had learned from the guard that Xu Ning had come from the Faint Bamboo Forest.
And those who came to find Cheng Zengtao from the Faint Bamboo Forest must be related to the Swallow Heron Sect.
“Zengtao.”
Cheng Jinxian said earnestly, “I have already told you that the Swallow Heron Sect has become a thing of the past, disappearing in history. You can’t and don’t have to worry about it day and night.”
“I know that you still have the intention to rebuild the Swallow Heron Sect, and you have also visited Leng Ran several times. But you also know how difficult it is to rebuild the Swallow Heron Sect.”
“Forget about whether the Swallow Heron Sect still has a foundation to rebuild, even if it does, it will be difficult to break through the suppression of the Green Edge Sect and the Wind Parasol Pavilion. Sect Master Li Shengmao was so ambitious at that time, but he still died fighting against the two sects. Factoring all this, what are your chances of returning the Swallow Heron Sect to its former state?”
Cheng Jinxian continued, “Don’t contact the people of the Swallow Heron Sect, and don’t contact the people of the Faint Bamboo Forest. This is better for everyone.”
“Uncle, this is my own business.”
Cheng Zengtao was neither humble nor arrogant.
“Your own business?”
Cheng Jinxian snorted. “You do not just represent yourself, you are a member of the Cheng family!”
“Today, I will make it clear to you that you should stop thinking about rebuilding the Swallow Heron Sect. Your friend can stay for a few days, then you have to find an excuse to let him go.”
Cheng Jinxian was impatient. “Uncle.”
Cheng Zengtao was silent for a moment before he said, “Back then, you were also indebted to my master, right?”
Cheng Jinxian widened his eyes and didn’t answer.
Just like Cheng Zengtao said, Li Shengmao had helped him a lot. It was because of this friendship that he sent the young Cheng Zengtao to Li Shengmao as a disciple. “I was indebted to Sect Master Li Shengmao.”
Cheng Jinxian admitted, “When he died, I also felt pain in my heart. I couldn’t avenge him, so I could only do my best to protect you core disciples sent away by the Swallow Heron Sect. I also want the Swallow Heron Sect to return to the past, but who among you can take on the responsibility of rebuilding the sect?”
“Instead of doing such meaningless things, it’s better to protect your own life and live up to Sect Master Li Shengmao’s final concern for you. After all, there is still Princess Mo Lan behind the Wind Parasol Pavilion and the Green Edge Sect.”
When he mentioned “Princess Mo Lan”, Cheng Jinxian’s eyes showed a hint of fear.
Cheng Zengtao and Cheng Jinxian looked at each other. “No one among us can shoulder the responsibility of rebuilding the sect.”
“But…”
Cheng Zengtao changed the topic. “But the person selected by Elder Wan Ye can.” “What? Wan Ye is still alive?”
Cheng Jinxian’s eyes flashed when he heard this news.
“Not only is Elder Wan Ye still alive, but he has also found a candidate to rebuild the sect from the Abyss North.”
Cheng Zengtao said.
“A candidate to rebuild the sect?”
Cheng Jinxian looked in the direction where Cheng Zengtao just came from, where Xu Ning lived.
“Yes, it is the person who came this time.”
Cheng Zengtao said, “That person is the current sect master of the Swallow Heron Sect. We have already begun to prepare to rebuild the sect.”
After Cheng Jinxian heard this, his expression was complicated.
He looked angry and confused.
He didn’t want to cause trouble for the family just because of the matter of rebuilding of the Swallow Heron Sect.
At the same time, he was curious about Wan Ye’s candidate.
Cheng Jinxian and Wan Ye were old friends, so he knew that Wan Ye had strict requirements.
Now that Wan Ye had left State Wansheng for a hundred years, this meant that the successor he chose was the most satisfactory candidate he had met in a hundred years.
But was there really such a genius in the Abyss North?
“Uncle, if you think my existence will bring trouble to the Cheng family, then I can leave the Cheng family. You can say to the public that I am the abandoned son of the Cheng family.”
Cheng Zengtao’s tone was firm.
Cheng Jinxian sighed.
He knew very well about the relationship between Cheng Zengtao and Li Shengmao. In order to rebuild the Swallow Heron Sect, Cheng Zengtao would give up everything. “Oh well…”
Cheng Jinxian flicked his sleeves.
“In three days, the canton governor will hold a banquet and invite the big families in the county to participate. When the time comes, you take the Sect Master along and we will go together.”
Cheng Zengtao’s eyes lit up. “When the time comes, I will carefully observe him.”
Cheng Jinxian added.
“Thank you Uncle.”
Cheng Zengtao quickly said.
Cheng Jinxian ignored him and left.
“Sure enough, Uncle, you do feel indebted to my master…”
Cheng Zengtao muttered to himself.
He also knew that if Xu Ning’s performance satisfied Cheng Jinxian, then the rebuilding of the Swallow Heron Sect could even be helped by the family.
…
At this moment, Xu Ning didn’t know that he was being discussed.
‘Cheng Zengtao should be reliable…’
Xu Ning had a good impression of Cheng Zengtao. He felt that this person could totally take over the sect chores in his place in the future.
All he needed to do was to improve his strength and become the pillar of the Swallow Heron Sect.
‘After gathering a group of disciples, I will promote Cheng Zengtao to deputy sect master…’
Although Xu Ning was almost useless now, he already had a plan for the sect. “Hmm?”
Xu Ning suddenly noticed that Gray was pacing back and forth in the room. Its state was a little different from usual. fre𝑒𝘸𝚎𝚋n૦ѵℯl.c𝒐𝘮
“Gray.”
Xu Ning called.
Gray turned its head and Xu Ning saw the silver mark on its forehead flashing.
“Gray, are you going to advance to the dao realm?”
Xu Ning suddenly realized.
Before a demon beast advanced to a major realm, the bloodline in their body would rebel uncontrollably, and their behavior would also be abnormal.
Especially for some extremely fierce demon beasts, they would act violently when breaking through.
In State Wansheng, there were some demon beasts who lost their minds before and after breaking through, broke into human cities to kill, and were then killed by human experts. “Brother, I feel that the bloodline in my body is very violent.”
Gray resisted the discomfort and explained to Xu Ning.
“That’s right, you should be advancing to the dao realm.”
Xu Ning stroked Gray and felt Gray’s body change with his dao realm power.
“Come, let’s enter the Demon Beast Scroll.”
Xu Ning made a decision. “Enter the Demon Beast Scroll and advance.”
The Demon Beast Scroll was a top-notch treasure. Even the beast tamer back then had not completely mastered it.
Although it was damaged, it was still stronger than Xu Ning’s Hidden Moon Bead.
The space of the Demon Beast Scroll was wider and more stable. Although the concentration of spiritual energy inside was not as high as the outside world, it was still one-third as dense as the outside world.
It was safer for Gray to advance inside, and the amount of spiritual energy inside was enough for demon beasts.
“Understood, Brother.”
Gray kept itself awake and teleported it and Xu Ning into the Demon Beast Scroll.
But after the teleportation, the bead formed by the Demon Beast Scroll was exposed to the outside world.
But because it was in the Cheng family mansion, there was no need to worry about it being destroyed.
“Why are you guys here?”
As soon as Xu Ning and Gray entered, Xu Hujun sensed it and immediately rushed over.
Cyan came over right after.
“Xu Ning, when are you going to let us out? There is no sunlight here, it’s so depressing!”
Cyan complained to Xu Ning.
Xu Ning ignored Cyan. This guy was way too hyperactive.
“Gray should be advancing to the dao realm.” Xu Ning said to Xu Hujun, “The spiritual energy in State Wansheng is dense, and Gray’s bloodline is very pure. It is normal for it to advance after being stimulated for a long time.”
“How is it advancing faster than me?”
Cyan rolled his eyes. “Xu Ning, when this kitten is done advancing, let me out. I want to feel the spiritual energy of State Wansheng. I want to advance to the dao realm!”
When Cyan was brought to the Abyss North by Wan Ye, it was just born and had no consciousness at all. Thus, it had no impression of State Wansheng at all, so it looked forward to the outside world.
“Shut up!”
Xu Hujun’s big claws instantly landed, stomping Cyan into the mud. “Don’t disturb my young master’s advancement!”
Cyan wanted to struggle and curse, but after seeing Xu Ning’s threatening gaze, Cyan was terrified.
Xu Ning had long been promoted to the dao realm, so it was easier to deal with it than before.
“Gray, take this pill.”
Xu Ning took out several pills and fed them to Gray. This was the medicinal pill he had prepared for Gray, Xu Hujun, and Cyan.
After swallowing it, it could allow them to maintain their rationality while advancing, and it could also prevent their bloodline from losing control and stop them from being injured.
After swallowing it, Gray’s condition improved a lot.
The silver mark on his forehead became brighter and brighter.
“Give Gray a quiet environment to advance.” 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂
Xu Ning said.
Afterwards, he took Cyan and Xu Hujun away and waited in an empty space in the Demon Beast Scroll
Roar!
Not long after, a roar suddenly sounded out.
Immediately after, Xu Ning, Xu Hujun, and Cyan felt a violent tremor coming from where Gray was.
From a distance, they saw Gray floating in the air, its body covered in silver light.
After a roar, the ground shattered, and countless dead trees and stones were warped and broken by Gray.
“Elementary-level dao realm, Gray has advanced!”
Xu Ning laughed out loud as he felt the aura of a dao realm demon beast.
