Xiao Ruobai and the other three probed their spiritual senses into the ancient Qiankun Pouch. Even though they were mentally prepared, they were still shocked by the vast amount of divine materials, precious herbs, scriptures, and ancient artifacts contained within.
However, having followed Gu Changge for a long time, their horizons and mental states were already extraordinary. They simply selected some suitable treasures according to their respective paths.
"Master, we've finished selecting."
Xiao Ruobai resealed the Qiankun Pouch and placed it back on the stone table in front of Gu Changge.
Gu Changge nodded slightly without looking at the pouch and simply waved his hand casually.
"Alright, go. Meditate quietly and don't let this experience go to waste."
Gu Changge's voice was calm.
"Yes, Master!"
The four of them replied in unison, bowed again, and then each found their usual quiet spots on Purple Bamboo Peak to sit cross - legged and carefully sort out their insights from the journey to the Emperor's Tomb.
Gu Changge's gaze swept over his disciples, and a faint glimmer of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
Gu Changge was casually playing with an egg in his hand. His gaze penetrated through layers of clouds and mountains, looking towards a place tens of thousands of miles outside the Qingxuan Sect.
In his spiritual sense, three familiar yet somewhat furtive figures were suppressing all their qi and carefully making their way back towards the sect.
They were the Second Patriarch, the Third Patriarch, and the Fourth Patriarch.
A faint smile flashed across Gu Changge's eyes, and then he moved his mind slightly.
A calm and serene spiritual thought instantly crossed the space and landed in the mind of Xuanyangzi, who was handling affairs on the main peak.
A moment later, a streak of escaping light rose from the main peak and quickly landed on Purple Bamboo Peak. Xuanyangzi's figure appeared.
"Junior Brother Changge, did you call for me?"
Xuanyangzi quickly walked up to the stone table, his face showing a questioning look.
Gu Changge didn't answer directly. Instead, his gaze casually landed on a corner of the stone table.
The seemingly ordinary ancient Qiankun Pouch that Xiao Ruobai had put back floated up on its own and landed steadily on the table in front of Xuanyangzi.
"This is some treasures that Little Black brought back from the Western Region's Sumeru Ancient Temple during this trip. Xiao Ruobai and the others have each taken a little.
You can take the rest, senior brother, to enrich the sect's treasury and distribute them to the appropriate disciples or elders under the sect."
Hearing this, Xuanyangzi's gaze landed on the Qiankun Pouch covered with mysterious Buddhist patterns. His pupils constricted slightly, and his breath caught for a moment.
Treasures from the Western Region's Sumeru Ancient Temple?
Although he knew that Little Black had destroyed the Sumeru Ancient Temple, now that the Qiankun Pouch representing the almost entire essence of a Buddhist holy land that had been passed down for tens of thousands of years was just casually placed in front of him.
Even though he was the sect master with a steady mind, he couldn't hide the shock in his heart at this moment.
"This is too precious! Junior Brother Changge, this..."
He looked at Gu Changge, his eyes full of sincere gratitude. With these resources, the foundation of the Qingxuan Sect would become incredibly profound, and the future would be promising!
"The prosperity of the sect is the most important thing. This is of no use to me. Just accept it, senior brother."
Gu Changge waved his hand, interrupting Xuanyangzi's refusal, and then asked, "How has the situation been in the sect recently?"
Mentioning the recent situation of the sect, Xuanyangzi perked up, and a look of genuine relief appeared on his face.
He carefully put away the Qiankun Pouch and said seriously, "Thanks to your good fortune, Junior Brother Changge, the sect's current situation is truly unprecedented!"
With the massive resources provided by the junior brother, especially the Cangyun Secret Realm and numerous natural treasures of heaven and earth, the strength of the sect has been improving by leaps and bounds.
He pondered for a moment and then elaborated in detail.
"First of all, more than forty elders of the sect and those of each peak have successfully broken into the Saint Realm!
I have repeatedly tested all of them with the Heart-Measuring Jade Pendant in combination with the secret realm's great formation and confirmed that there are no problems with their loyalty and character.
I have asked them to step down from their official positions as elders and turn into the sect's hidden cultivation foundation, concentrating on their cultivation in the depths of the secret realm to consolidate their realms."
Speaking of this, Xuanyangzi gave a wry smile. "These guys are just at the time when they've just reached the Saint Realm, full of pride and energy.
They're so pent - up in the secret realm that they're howling. They're all raring to go and can't wait to find someone to fight three hundred rounds to stretch their muscles. But they dare not act rashly because of the old ancestor's prestige, so I've let them calmly polish the laws of the Saint Path."
Hearing this, Gu Changge understood. This was in line with the mentality of those elders who had endured hardships for many years and finally achieved success.
"Moreover," Xuanyangzi said with pride in his tone.
"The First Patriarch successfully broke through his cultivation barrier with the opportunity given by the junior brother a month ago and officially stepped into the Great Saint Realm!"
"As for the elite disciples cultivating in the Cangyun Secret Realm,"
There was an even brighter gleam in Xuanyangzi's eyes.
"Most of them have now successfully broken through to the Cave Heaven Realm or even the Celestial Being Realm! Their progress is astonishing! Given time, they will surely become the pillars of the sect!"
After finishing speaking in one breath, Xuanyangzi looked at Gu Changge with deep emotion in his eyes.
In just a short period of time, from top to bottom, from the foundation to the new blood, the Qingxuan Sect had almost undergone a complete transformation.
Tracing it all back to the source, it all started from Zizhu Peak and from this seemingly lazy and calm junior brother in front of him.
"Well, it's good," Gu Changge nodded slightly, with a look of understanding flashing across his eyes.
The steady improvement of the sect's strength was within his expectation. The phenomenon of those newly - promoted saints with excess energy and a craving for actual combat was quite interesting.
Gu Changge thought of something else and looked at Xuanyangzi.
"Where is Senior Brother Shi? It's been several days since the matter in the Emperor's Tomb ended. Why hasn't he returned to the sect?"
Hearing this, Xuanyangzi was stunned for a moment and frowned slightly. "Junior Brother Wanshan? Hasn't he come back yet?"
He recalled a bit, and his tone became uncertain and tinged with a hint of worry.
"At that time, when the situation in the Emperor's Tomb was about to turn chaotic, I did tell him and several other peak masters to leave first.
With his speed and personality, he should have returned to the sect long ago. Could it be that he encountered some trouble on the way?"
Gu Changge didn't say more. There seemed to be a galaxy swirling deep in his eyes.
The next moment, his boundless spiritual sense silently enveloped the entire Eastern Region.
In an instant, the scene in a desolate ancient forest hundreds of thousands of miles away clearly appeared.
Shi Wanshan's aura was a bit disordered. He was using the complex terrain and escape techniques to constantly change his position, looking a bit cautious and embarrassed.
And more than a hundred miles behind him, two figures with hidden auras but clear tracking intentions were like maggots attached to the bone, biting tightly.
One of them was at the late stage of the Saint Realm, and the other had reached the middle stage of the Saint King Realm.
The one at the late stage of the Saint Realm had a violent fluctuation of aura around him, with a faint hint of shame, anger and resentment. It was actually the Purple - Robed Saint who had been stripped naked by the old ancestor of the Qingxuan Sect in the Emperor's Tomb before.
"Hmm?"
There was an almost imperceptible movement of Gu Changge's eyebrows.
Although Senior Brother Shi has a lively personality, he is rich in actual combat experience and has a delicate mind beneath his seemingly carefree exterior. Moreover, he has reached the late stage of the Saint Realm. Even if he is no match for a mid - stage Saint King, he should be able to get away without much trouble.
Now, however, it seems that he is being chased rather desperately and can't shake off his pursuer completely.
His face darkened, and with a slight turn of his mind, he raised his hand and gently waved it in the void in front of him.
Suddenly, the air above the stone table rippled like water waves, and the hazy light and shadow began to gather and swirl.
Fragments of the experiences that Shi Wanshan had gone through in the few days after leaving the Imperial Tomb quickly became clear from being blurry and appeared before his eyes.
