Chapter 361 The Grand Competition of the Three Religions is about to begin! Seclusion!
Then, Zhao Gongming turned his gaze and looked directly at Chen Changsheng, saying earnestly:
"My disciple."
"You're heading to Peach Mountain at this time, could it be... to rescue your mother-in-law, the goddess Yao Ji?"
In response to Zhao Gongming's question, Chen Changsheng nodded and said:
"Reporting to Master, this disciple does indeed have such a plan."
Upon hearing Chen Changsheng's reply, Zhao Gongming's expression suddenly darkened, and he fell into deep thought.
After thinking for a moment, he took a deep breath and said seriously:
"Chang Sheng, now that you have met the goddess Yao Ji and your determination to save your mother is firm, I will support you."
"but……"
At this point, Zhao Gongming paused slightly before adding:
"This matter cannot be rushed; we must plan carefully and strive for a decisive victory to avoid future troubles."
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng nodded and murmured an "Mmm":
"Don't worry, Master!"
"I am not a reckless person."
"We should prepare everything before taking action."
After hearing Chen Changsheng's explanation, Zhao Gongming nodded in satisfaction, and his furrowed brows slowly relaxed.
At this moment, Chen Changsheng changed the subject and asked:
"Master, you just said that if I didn't return soon, you were prepared to send people to look for me?"
"But has something important happened?"
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng looked directly at Zhao Gongming, his eyes full of curiosity.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Gongming's expression hardened, and he nodded, saying:
"That's right."
"There is indeed an important matter at hand that requires your early preparation, my disciple."
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng's expression immediately became solemn, and he hurriedly said, "Master, please speak!"
Zhao Gongming slowly stood up from the stone stool and said:
"The Three Religions Competition will begin as scheduled soon."
"As your teacher, I naturally hope that you can perform well in the competition."
Chen Changsheng was slightly surprised after hearing what Zhao Gongming said:
"A competition among the three religions?"
Zhao Gongming nodded slightly and then explained:
"This is a grand competition among the three sects of our Xuanmen."
"This is a traditional grand event that has been established since the Taoist Ancestor distributed the treasure and the Sage established the religion."
"Every so often, the three religions would gather their outstanding disciples to discuss and refine their Taoist practices, verify their supernatural abilities, and exchange their insights."
"Of course, on the surface it is to promote friendship among the three religions and encourage the younger generation to cultivate, but in secret it is also a stage for the saints of the three religions to observe the quality of their disciples and to compete in terms of luck and strength."
At this point, Zhao Gongming paused, then looked at Chen Changsheng with a solemn expression, and said meaningfully:
"Chang Sheng, this competition is likely to be extraordinary."
"Each religion will send out its true elites, intending to show their prowess and compete for destiny."
"As my personally taught disciple, and with your cultivation already at the Great Luo level, you are certainly among those attending the gathering."
After hearing Zhao Gongming's explanation, Chen Changsheng nodded in understanding and said:
"Disciple understands!"
"We will go all out in the competition among the three religions."
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng paused and asked probingly:
"By the way, Master, when does the Three Religions Grand Competition begin? And where is it held?"
Zhao Gongming smiled faintly and replied:
"The specific date for the competition among the three religions has not yet been finalized, but it should be soon. We will notify you when the time comes."
"As for the location of the competition, the sages of the three religions will discuss it together."
"In previous competitions, the focus was mostly on discussions of Dao, battles of magic, and breaking formations. Whether this year's competition will be different remains to be seen."
"In any case, you need to prepare early."
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng nodded slightly and said:
"Thank you for informing me, Master!"
"In that case, I wish to go into seclusion for a period of time before the competition, in order to make some progress."
Chen Changsheng gained a lot from this trip.
In particular, Wu Gang was seen in the laurel grove of the moon constellation.
After discovering the treasure, Wu Gang was shocked. Later, Wu Gang gave Chen Changsheng a talisman, which contained two drops of ancestral witch blood essence.
In Chen Changsheng's view, since the Three Religions Grand Competition has not yet started, he can go into seclusion here to refine those two drops of Ancestral Witch Blood Essence.
Perhaps he will be able to make a breakthrough and raise his cultivation to the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
In addition, he will need strong support to go to Taoshan to rescue Yaoji.
Upon hearing what Chen Changsheng said, Zhao Gongming's eyes flashed like lightning. When he first saw Chen Changsheng, he had vaguely sensed that there was something unusual about Chen Changsheng's aura.
"Could my disciple be about to break through?"
Suddenly, a thought popped into Zhao Gongming's mind.
Upon realizing this, he quickly looked at Chen Changsheng and said earnestly:
"My disciple."
"The path of cultivation requires a balance of tension and relaxation."
"You have just been through a lot and need to calm down and reflect."
"Behind this Luofu Cave of your master is the Sun and Moon Sword Washing Pool, which was formed by me drawing upon the essence of the sun and moon and the spiritual energy of the earth's veins. It is the most tranquil place, and you can go there to cultivate in seclusion."
"With our teacher here, no one dares to disturb us."
Upon hearing Zhao Gongming's words, Chen Changsheng was taken aback.
He originally planned to return to his cave to cultivate in seclusion, but Zhao Gongming actually asked him to cultivate in seclusion in Luofu Cave.
After a moment's hesitation, Chen Changsheng did not refuse and quickly bowed:
"Thank you, Master!"
If it were anyone else, Chen Changsheng would have been suspicious, wondering if the other party was trying to use this opportunity to spy on him.
But since it was Zhao Gongming who said this, Chen Changsheng had nothing to worry about.
Then, Zhao Gongming didn't delay and led Chen Changsheng to the Sun and Moon Sword Washing Pool inside Luofu Cave.
Although named "Pond," this place is actually a valley shrouded in misty spiritual energy. In the center, a clear spring is divided in two: one half reflects the sun, blazing like flames, while the other half reflects the moon, cool and frosty.
And by the pond grows rare medicinal herbs that are uncommon in the outside world.
With a little perception, one can notice that time around the Sun and Moon Sword Washing Pool seems to flow at a different speed than the outside world.
After bringing Chen Changsheng here, Zhao Gongming smiled faintly and said:
"Chang Sheng, you may open a cave here for secluded cultivation."
"I won't bother you any longer."
Chen Changsheng nodded and hummed softly:
"Yes, Master!"
Without lingering, Zhao Gongming vanished from the spot in a flash.
After Zhao Gongming left, Chen Changsheng didn't linger. He immediately opened up a cave dwelling by the Sun and Moon Sword Washing Pool and set up multiple array formations and restrictions.
After doing all this, he sat cross-legged in the cave, and with a thought, he directly took out the talisman given to him by Wu Gang.
"I wonder whose two drops of ancestral witch blood are inside this talisman?"
Looking at the two drops of ancestral witch blood sealed within the talisman, Chen Changsheng began to have doubts.
This ancient witch clan had as many as twelve ancestral witches, the leader of whom was the ancestral witch Dijiang, the ancestral witch of spatial speed.
The remaining figures include Jumang, Zhurong, Rushou, Gonggong, Houtu, and others, all of whom were remarkable individuals.
"No matter whose it is, it's all the essence and blood of the Ancestral Witches!"
"It's a level higher than the Great Witch's essence blood I obtained before."
