"Junior Brother, what is this?"
Xuanyangzi subconsciously took the ring. It felt warm to the touch and carried a trace of strange Dao resonance.
"Inside are some cultivation methods and combat techniques. Please take them back, Senior Brother. You can handle them as you see fit after reviewing them. Consider it a way to enrich our foundation."
Gu Changge's tone was flat, as if he were merely handing over an ordinary object.
Hearing this, Xuanyangzi's heart stirred, and he immediately sent his divine sense into the ring.
Upon looking, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning and froze in place!
Hundreds of jade slips floated quietly, emitting Dao resonance fluctuations of varying strengths, yet all incomparably pure.
Among them, ten purple-gold jade slips were particularly eye-catching. The pressure emanating from them was vast and ancient, as if bearing the ultimate truths of heaven and earth. These were clearly Emperor-level cultivation methods!
Below them were over a hundred radiant jade slips. Although their auras were slightly inferior, they were still incredibly profound. They were all Saint-level cultivation methods!
These methods encompassed everything, from core cultivation mentalities to various combat techniques, secret arts, escape methods, and formations, covering almost every aspect of the path of cultivation.
The completeness of the system and the high quality meant that taking out just one would be enough to make the factions of Xuanzhou fight to the death over it!
Xuanyangzi's breathing became rapid.
Suppressing the stormy waves in his heart, his divine sense swept over a corner, where an inconspicuous gray jade slip caught his attention.
The Dao resonance of aura concealment coming from it seemed ordinary at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it was as unfathomable as an abyss.
"You Can't See Through Me?"
He curiously took out the jade slip. The moment his divine sense entered it, his eyes went round, and a surge of ecstasy rushed into his heart.
This aura concealment method... was simply exquisite to the extreme!
Not only could it perfectly hide one's cultivation base, but it could also simulate the aura of all things, and even use the laws of heaven and earth to blur one's presence, deceiving even the divine sense of an Emperor Realm expert!
He subconsciously circulated the aura concealment technique he had learned to compare, only to feel that the methods he had practiced in the past were as ridiculous as a child playing house.
"Good stuff! Haha! Truly good stuff! With this, going to... ahem, doing things in the future will be much more convenient!"
He seemed to already see a future where he thrived in many situations relying on this technique.
After the ecstasy came boundless shock and gratitude.
Xuanyangzi looked up at Gu Changge, who was still calm and breezy, his voice trembling.
"Junior Brother... this... this is too precious! I... I truly don't know how to thank you!"
Gu Changge just waved his hand. "It is a matter of the sect, nothing more than my duty. Just arrange it properly, Senior Brother."
Xuanyangzi nodded heavily, clutching the ring tightly in his palm as if holding the future of the entire sect.
With these, why worry about the sect not prospering? Why worry about the disciples not being strong?
He took a deep breath, calming his surging emotions. His gaze swept over the vast inheritance inside the ring again, and a heavy sense of responsibility arose spontaneously.
"Changge's contribution to the sect is truly too great... From resources to cultivation methods, he is almost single-handedly supporting the sect's transformation. His contribution to the Azure Profound Sect is simply heaven-defying.
Yet, all the sect can give Gu Changge is the empty title of Purple Bamboo Peak Master. We can't even offer him many decent resources."
Xuanyangzi felt increasingly apologetic. He frowned, thinking hard.
Suddenly, he looked at Gu Changge, and a thought flashed through Xuanyangzi's mind like lightning.
"Junior Brother Changge seems omnipotent, almost like a heavenly being, but he is ultimately human, not an emotionless plant.
The path of cultivation is long and lonely for tens of thousands of years. He doesn't even have someone by his side to care for him or share intimate words with...
Such days are inevitably too cold and lonely."
Thinking of this, the guilt in Xuanyangzi's heart instantly transformed into a kind of heartache and concern akin to that of an old father.
"If I could find a Dao companion for Junior Brother who is both talented and beautiful, with a compatible Dao heart, to add fragrance to his reading and harmonize like a lute and zither, wouldn't that be wonderful?"
The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, and his eyes became determined.
"An ordinary woman definitely won't do! These female cultivators from the aristocratic families of Xuanzhou are too petty, and although the female disciples in the sect have talent, they are too far from Changge's level..."
He slapped his thigh fiercely, his eyes shining astonishingly bright. "Right! The Holy Lord of the Yaochi Holy Land, Ji Qingyi!
I heard that the Holy Lord is not only devastatingly beautiful but also has top-tier talent. She took charge of the Holy Land at a young age, and even veteran Saints have to respect her!
Only such a figure is worthy of my Junior Brother!"
Once this considerate thought took root, it quickly grew and thrived.
Xuanyangzi seemed to have found the best way to repay his Junior Brother, revealing a smile on his face that was both gratified and somewhat farsighted.
He looked at Gu Changge with burning eyes. That gaze was exactly like looking at a rare treasure, pondering what kind of box would match it best.
What kind of person was Gu Changge? He could handle the karma of eternity with calm. Yet at this moment, being stared at by Xuanyangzi's undisguised, burning gaze full of care and calculation, he felt a slight chill on the back of his neck, and an inexplicable, bizarre coldness welled up in his heart.
It was a weird feeling, as if he were about to be packaged and sold by his own Senior Brother.
"Senior Brother, this look in your eyes... why is it so creepy?"
Gu Changge's face remained unruffled, but a very faint trace of doubt flashed through his mind.
He could naturally sense the violent fluctuations in Xuanyangzi's mood. That intense desire to do good for him was almost materializing, but the direction of this good seemed a bit off track.
"Senior Brother?"
Gu Changge raised an eyebrow slightly, carrying a trace of inquiry.
"Ah? Oh! It's nothing, nothing!"
Xuanyangzi suddenly snapped back to reality. Realizing his gaze was too direct, he quickly put his hands behind his back, pretending to tidy his Daoist robes, and coughed dryly twice.
"Ahem... don't blame me, Junior Brother. I just felt... these cultivation methods must be distributed to the various peaks as soon as possible, lest a long night brings many dreams."
However, the 'just you wait and see' excitement in the depths of his eyes couldn't be hidden even by his drooping sleeves.
Amidst the awkwardness, Xuanyangzi suddenly remembered another important matter. His expression turned serious as he took the opportunity to change the subject.
"Right, Junior Brother, there is one more thing. Several Peak Masters can no longer suppress their cultivation bases and are anxious to undergo their tribulations and break through. What do you think... when would it be convenient for you to protect them during the process?"
Gu Changge's gaze swept over the distant Eternal Paragon Tower, which was still shrouded in rosy clouds and flowing with Dao resonance. The combat fluctuations between the Lord of Annihilation and Ling Xi inside the tower could be faintly heard.
He smiled indifferently. "Since I have nothing to do right now, anytime is fine."
Hearing this, Xuanyangzi was overjoyed. "Then how about today! Junior Brother Shi, Junior Brother Li, and those other old fellows have been nagging in my ear so much these past few days that my ears are almost growing calluses. Every one of them is holding it in so hard that if they suppress it any longer, I'm afraid they'll suffer internal injuries."
"Alright," Gu Changge nodded. "Let's go to the Cangyun Secret Realm. It's safer there."
"Exactly!"
Xuanyangzi clapped his hands and immediately took out a communication jade talisman, his voice carrying a bit of impatient excitement.
"Junior Brothers, quickly gather at Qingyun Peak. Today you shall undergo your tribulation and become Saints. The location is set at the Cangyun Secret Realm!"

Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
