Chapter 484: Chapter 484, Guiyuan Realm Third Layer
Streams of spiritual power entered Chu Ming’s Sea of Spiritual Power, bringing about a feeling of expansion, which arose spontaneously.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The Sea of Spiritual Power trembled slightly, and then the spiritual power within surged dramatically.
Boom!
The barrier belonging to the Guiyuan Realm Third Layer shattered, and the spiritual power within the Sea of Spiritual Power found an outlet, gradually calming down.
Guiyuan Realm Third Layer!
Chu Ming slowly opened his eyes, two gleams flashing in them, like two bolts of lightning darting through the void.
With three or four days remaining in the month, Chu Ming ceased his cultivation, and instead took out a Blood Pearl from the Five-tailed Black Cat Demon from his Storage Ring, beginning to refine its blood essence.
Refining one Blood Pearl, gaining one hundred and fifty-eight Dragon Power!
Refining two Blood Pearls, gaining one hundred and fifty-nine Dragon Power!
...
The Blood Pearls from the Five-tailed Black Cat Demon contained abundant blood essence. Initially, refining one Blood Pearl almost equated to enhancing by one Dragon Power.
But gradually, the enhancement speed decreased from refining one Blood Pearl enhancing by one Dragon Power, to two Blood Pearls for one Dragon Power, eventually needing three Blood Pearls for one Dragon Power.
Boom!
After refining two hundred Blood Pearls, Chu Ming’s overall power reached two hundred thirty-one Dragon Power, and simultaneously, the Primordial Body Refining Technique advanced to its Seventh Layer Late Stage.
At this moment, Chu Ming ceased refining the Blood Pearls, stood up from the round platform and flew out beyond the foundation.
The month’s time had ended. At this point, Chu Ming sensed that he and the Celestial Travel Sect shared some invisible connection. He imparted fortune to the Celestial Travel Sect, which in turn nurtured him.
Currently, the Celestial Travel Sect was thriving. The spiritual power in the air was thirty to forty percent thicker than before, and this change continued slowly.
Leaving the foundation, Chu Ming flew towards the Celestial Hall, where Grand Elder Kong Qianren’s palace was located.
He intended to discuss the Chu Family’s relocation with Grand Elder Kong Qianren. The entire Chu Family needed a place to settle; although there were numerous palace compounds in the Celestial Travel Sect, a preliminary greeting was necessary.
"Hahaha, the month’s time has passed. I knew you would come to find me!"
Before Chu Ming approached Kong Qianren’s palace, a burst of laughter resounded far and wide.
"Who is this? To have such favor, making the Grand Elder speak like this!"
The disciples guarding outside the palace were astonished. Apart from the Sect Leader Yan Nanxing, they had never seen anyone else with such privilege.
A whirlwind flashed before them, and the figure of Grand Elder Kong Qianren appeared outside the palace.
"Greetings, Grand Elder!"
In an instant, Chu Ming arrived before Grand Elder Kong Qianren, cupping his hands respectfully.
"Rise. I already know the purpose of your visit today. Let’s go inside and discuss it slowly."
Grand Elder Kong Qianren nodded in satisfaction, raised his hands, and a force gently lifted Chu Ming.
Swish! Swish!
The two flew into Grand Elder Kong Qianren’s palace.
"Was that the white-robed... Chu Brother?"
The two guarding disciples looked at each other in surprise, their faces filled with excitement.
Chu Ming’s accomplishments at the tea ceremony had spread throughout the Celestial Travel Sect in the past month, leading some to compare him with the four great prodigies. Gradually, Chu Ming became a legendary figure, and all the disciples took pride in glimpsing him.
"No wonder the Grand Elder would personally come out to greet him. Only someone like Chu Brother would receive such honor."
The long-faced disciple on the left exclaimed, the one on the right nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Inside the palace.
Chu Ming and Grand Elder Kong Qianren sat at opposite ends of a long table, on which various Spirit Fruits were placed, overflowing with spiritual power and fragrance.
"The Ancestor has told me about the Chu Family’s relocation. I have designated three areas within the Celestial Travel Sect for them. You may choose one."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Grand Elder Kong Qianren took out a piece of brown sheepskin parchment from his Storage Ring and placed it before Chu Ming.
Chu Ming extended his right hand to slowly unfold the parchment. It was a map of the Celestial Travel Sect region distribution, indicating the entire sect’s layout, with three red circles drawn on it, marking the selectable areas.
Regarding the Chu Family’s habitat, Chu Ming could not be careless and chose meticulously, thoroughly examining the three areas.
These areas were clearly selected with careful consideration—each being a treasure within the Celestial Travel Sect.
The first area, located behind the Celestial Hall, had hundreds of palaces, easily accommodating the Chu Family, and its proximity to the hall ensured thirty to forty percent higher spiritual power concentration than other places.
The second area was in the eastern part of the sect. Although few demon beasts inhabited the microscopic mountain range, it was rich in spiritual medicine. Each year, the sect acquired numerous celestial treasures from it. If the Chu Family took over, they would naturally have priority for these treasures.
The third area, in the southwestern corner of the sect, was a mine with abundant Fire Elemental Power. Cultivating fire attribute techniques there would significantly speed up progress.
"Thank you, Grand Elder!"
Chu Ming expressed his gratitude to Grand Elder Kong Qianren. These places were clearly chosen for him with great care.
"Hahaha, this is all I can do for you. Quickly choose from the three circled areas."
Grand Elder Kong Qianren stroked his beard, laughing.
Chu Ming pondered briefly, then pointed to the second circled area, and responded, "This one!"
The second area, being the miniature mountain range, was minimally inhabited by demon beasts but contained valuable spiritual materials.
"Alright, then it’s settled! This time, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, I will accompany you for the Chu Family’s relocation!"
Grand Elder Kong Qianren continued.
"When would be convenient for you, Grand Elder?"
Chu Ming asked, wishing to relocate the Chu Family as soon as possible to relieve future worries.
"Anytime!"
Grand Elder Kong Qianren replied.
"Then, may I ask you to accompany me to the Great Yan Kingdom right now, Grand Elder!"
Chu Ming said.
"No problem!"
Grand Elder Kong Qianren, being a Realm of Transcendence expert, although recently breaking through, had already grasped the mysteries of space, capable of tearing through space to travel.
This time, alongside Chu Ming and Grand Elder Kong Qianren, four Inner Sect Elders at the Guiyuan Realm Ninth Layer would also accompany them, showing the significant importance placed by the Celestial Travel Sect on this matter.
