Mind-Expanding, The Predecessor's Terrifying Power
As he thought about it, he felt that it must be so.
This trial was aimed at three parties.
The first was the Qianyu Empire.
The predecessor gave them an opportunity.
He wanted to see if they could make good use of it, suppress their greed, and develop steadily.
The predecessor must have anticipated that they would develop recklessly and become arrogant, but he still gave them a chance to see if they could seize it.
Unexpectedly, they still followed their original trajectory.
The next party being tested was me!
The predecessor must have calculated my past experiences.
He knew that I harbored some shadows in my heart towards such forced sects.
So he was watching to see if I would go and help the people of the Kaoshanmiao Sect.
If I didn't go, I would certainly fail the trial!
But I did go, and after rescuing them, I realized that the resentment that had been bottled up in my heart for many years was gone!
That resentment had accumulated for a long time and would undoubtedly have become a demonic inner demon obstructing my path to immortality!
The predecessor was not only testing me but also giving me an opportunity to break through my inner demons!
So, when I went to ask the predecessor whether to suppress the Qianyu Empire, he was already waiting in the courtyard.
And I remember, at that time, the predecessor had a smile on his face!
Thinking of this, Long Aotian felt a chill run down his spine.
As for the group from the Kaoshanmiao Sect, they were also people tested by the predecessor.
The Kaoshanmiao Sect had clearly passed the test, so the predecessor directly gave them such a great opportunity!
Everything flowed like clouds, without a trace of interference.
It seemed as if everything happened randomly, without any connection.
Yet, unbeknownst to them, a great hand was controlling it all!
The predecessor is terrifyingly powerful!
Long Aotian took deep breaths, his face filled with reverence.
His eyes sparkled with boundless starlight as he looked towards Qingxuan Town.
"Even celestial emperors would have to kneel before this person! The predecessor has reached the level of being able to influence cause and effect, to control everything!"
Long Aotian's chest heaved, unable to express his reverence.
He closed his eyes and after calming the shock in his heart, he took out a communication jade slip.
"Immediately prepare an extremely grand gift!"
...
Far away in the royal city, Luo Lancheng had been bored just a moment ago.
The next moment, he suddenly noticed his communication jade slip vibrating and quickly took it out to check.
When he learned the news that Murong Xue had sent, he was stunned for a while before reacting.
"A barrier formation impenetrable even to the peak of the Great Realization Realm, guarded by a dragon of the Great Realization Realm! This was all given by the predecessor?!"
"Two days until the official sect opening, I must go!"
Luo Lancheng quickly responded to Murong Xue, agreeing to attend.
Then he swiftly fled in a certain direction.
He soon found his father, the king.
When Luo Tianyu learned of this news from his daughter, he stood up abruptly.
"What kind of luck did the Kaoshanmiao Sect stumble upon? The predecessor is helping them so much! It seems they are about to rise!"
A barrier formation created at the peak of the Great Realization Realm.
A dragon of the Great Realization Realm guarding the mountain!
He couldn't help but envy them.
But he also knew that he could only envy them.
Perhaps the Kaoshanmiao Sect's ancestors truly had a karmic connection with that supreme being.
That's why the supreme being was helping them so much.
Luo Tianyu immediately took out a communication jade slip and infused it with spiritual energy.
"Brother Zhenwu! Let me tell you something!"
He immediately sent a message to Zhu Zhenwu, relating what he knew.
He also asked Zhu Zhenwu to prepare, as they would all go to offer congratulations to the Kaoshanmiao Sect in two days.
Since they couldn't receive the karmic favor of that supreme predecessor, they might as well establish good relations with the Kaoshanmiao Sect.
Perhaps they could also benefit in some way.
Moreover, the Kaoshanmiao Sect would definitely soar to greatness in the future.
After all, they had the backing of such an incredibly powerful being.
As long as they could forge good connections, they wouldn't lose out.
After sending the message, Luo Tianyu began pondering what kind of grand gift to prepare to stand out from the rest.
He could be certain that there wouldn't be a lack of people going to the Kaoshanmiao Sect this time.
Following Murong Xue's instructions, Luo Lancheng also found Luo Shaoqie and relayed the events to him.
Luo Shaoqie was now rising in prominence, becoming the number one talent in the royal city.
He no longer had to worry about Luo Lancheng, as countless beauties pursued him.
When Luo Shaoqie learned of the newfound power of his cousin's family, he was utterly astonished.
To him, the Great Realization Realm was already an intimidating level.
"It seems it was all due to the predecessor's grace!"
Luo Shaoqie also began informing his family members, preparing to set off in two days.
In this way, news of the Kaoshanmiao Sect spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred.
Gradually, the top powers of the continent began to learn about the emergence of this force in a remote corner of the southern region.
Countless people were shocked.
Some intended to go and offer congratulations as an excuse to see the spectacle.
The Qianyu Empire also learned of this news.
In a palace, Liu Zhengtao had just learned about the Kaoshanmiao Sect's situation.
He was frowning and pacing back and forth with a troubled expression.
After a while, a figure suddenly appeared before him - it was Liu Guangpu.
"Father, have you heard about the Kaoshanmiao Sect?" Liu Zhengtao asked.
Liu Guangpu's expression was also grim as he nodded. "That sect is very strange! According to what Yuxi said, their sect shouldn't be that strong. But how did they suddenly obtain such a barrier formation, and that black flood dragon became their guardian beast?"
Yuxi had said that the black flood dragon fought evenly with Long Aotian. Although its cultivation wasn't higher than Long Aotian's, it was extremely formidable.
Now the black flood dragon had willingly become their guardian beast, basically a gatekeeper!
Even if it was defeated, it wouldn't do such a thing!
Because dignity isn't something to be cast aside after a defeat!
Moreover, the Celestial Emperor Sect suppressing them didn't really benefit them but caused many losses instead.
If it were them, they wouldn't suppress the Kaoshanmiao Sect but would go and demand an explanation.
They could still profit and vent their anger.
So they had always felt that something was amiss.
As Liu Guangpu pondered, he suddenly widened his eyes.
"Actually, I still have a connection with a powerful expert, and I asked him to inquire at the Celestial Emperor Sect about what we did to offend them and whether there was room for reconciliation. However, the message he brought back was strange. He said we had offended an existence that shouldn't be offended!"
"At first, I thought the existence he referred to was Long Aotian. But now, combining it with the Kaoshanmiao Sect's situation, I suddenly realized a possibility!"
"Could it be that there is a powerful figure behind this sect? And this person is quite possibly stronger than Long Aotian and could force a flood dragon to submit and willingly become their guardian beast?!"
The more Liu Guangpu spoke, the more he felt his conjecture was likely.
After listening, Liu Zhengtao pondered, feeling that this speculation could indeed be possible!
If that were the case, everything could be explained.
But this was only speculation.
"Oh! We forgot one detail! Father, think about it, what is the name of that sect?
"Ah! We forgot one detail! Father, think about it, what is the name of that sect?!" Liu Zhengtao suddenly slapped his thigh.
Liu Guangpu murmured the name, then widened his eyes as if realizing something - Kaoshanmiao Sect!
Kaoshan sectarian!
Kaohan.
