"Sky, my child… stay a good distance away from the Senior when the time comes!"
Yun Zhenting led Yun Tianzhong, Yun Tiankong, Yun Zhaozhao, and a little spirit monkey towards Hao Ren's cave.
These three people and one monkey were the contestants from the "Yun Family Immortal Abode" preparing to participate in the "潛龍榜選秀大會" (Latent Dragon Rankings Selection Tournament).
To increase their chances of winning, Yun Zhenting specifically brought them to seek guidance from the "mysterious Senior."
In Yun Zhenting's "delusional thinking," as long as the Senior offered even a little guidance, Yun Tianzhong and the others would immediately have their strength surge, making it effortless to defeat their peers.
By then, these three people and one monkey would sweep the top four spots in the "Latent Dragon Rankings," which wouldn't be too much to ask, right…
Along the way, Yun Zhenting felt something was off, but he couldn't pinpoint what it was.
When the thirty-eighth little bird, well… this "little bird" wasn't exactly small, it was about the size of two adult humans, a "Great Roc," relieved itself over Yun Tiankong.
*Swoosh!*
If one didn't know it was "bird droppings," they would think a "waterfall" had fallen from the sky.
Right on his head!
The oil-paper umbrella Yun Tiankong held above his head was instantly rendered useless, soaking him to the bone… Huh, someone might ask, why was Yun Tiankong holding an "oil-paper umbrella?"
Good question!
Before this "Great Roc," there were thirty-seven other little birds. They weren't large, and their droppings didn't have the momentum of "a waterfall plummeting three thousand feet," but their sheer numbers were overwhelming, and they often struck. So, Yun Tiankong brought an umbrella to defend against "droppings bombs."
He was either unlucky, or on the way to being unlucky…
Yun Tiankong himself was already accustomed to it.
Although the thirty-eighth "bird droppings" today were a bit excessive, Yun Tiankong remained emotionally stable and could accept it!
He was calm, but the others couldn't stand it and quickly moved away from him.
This Yun Tiankong fellow was a "star of misfortune"; when he was unlucky, those around him would be implicated… Recently, Yun Tiankong's "bad luck" had been growing stronger!
It was best for everyone to keep their distance!
Yun Zhenting looked at Yun Tiankong with a complicated expression.
This child…
Currently, among the younger generation of the entire Yun Family Immortal Abode, besides Yun Tianzhong, Yun Tiankong was the one Yun Zhenting admired the most.
To sum up Yun Tiankong in one sentence: he mutated through misfortune!
This guy, just as he was experiencing one misfortune after another… then, inexplicably, he would start getting stronger!
It had to be said, this was also a kind of talent!
Yun Zhenting greatly admired Yun Tiankong, but he was also worried. He worried that Yun Tiankong's "bad luck" might offend the Senior.
Yun Zhenting reminded him.
"Sky, when we get near the Senior's cave for cultivation, you keep your distance. Ideally ten zhang, no, fifty zhang, um, a hundred zhang… a safe distance of one hundred zhang!"
Yun Tiankong looked bewildered.
"Patriarch, why?"
Yun Zhenting's mouth twitched.
Don't you have any self-awareness? You're a walking "omen of bad luck" right now. Anyone who comes near you will be unlucky. I'm afraid you'll offend the Senior.
Yun Zhenting looked at Yun Tiankong's "innocent and sweet" smile and couldn't bring himself to tell the truth. He could only vaguely say.
"Don't ask why, just do as you're told!"
"Oh!"
Yun Tiankong obediently nodded.
As he nodded, a dark cloud suddenly appeared in the sky. Without any warning, suddenly, very suddenly, it began to rain.
And it wasn't ordinary rain, but "acid rain" with a faint yellow hue.
When the "acid rain" fell on the skin, it caused a slight burning sensation, very uncomfortable.
The most bizarre thing was that the radius of the "acid rain" was only three meters. Within three meters centered on Yun Tiankong, it was pouring rain, but outside this area, the weather was clear and sunny, the sky was bright.
This…
Yun Zhenting's mouth twitched fiercely.
Yun Tiankong's bad luck was growing stronger and stronger. He couldn't afford to be associated with it!
Was a hundred zhang safe distance enough?
Yun Zhenting seriously considered in his heart whether he should revise the safe distance to two hundred zhang, or three hundred zhang?
Soon, Yun Zhenting led Yun Tiankong and the others to the outside of Hao Ren's cave.
The area outside the cave was no longer the desolate and barren place it had been before.
It was bustling with activity, filled with the clamor of voices.
Countless Golden Core mighty figures were gathered.
Some prostrated with devotion.
Some chanted loudly: "The Senior is light, the Senior is electricity, the Senior is the only legend…"
Others had even set up stalls to do business: "Step right up, don't miss out! Thousand-year-old Purple Gold Sand, not 1998, not 998, only 98! For 98 mid-grade spirit stones, you can take the Purple Gold Sand home!"
…
Yun Zhenting led Yun Tianzhong and the others straight forward, ah, Yun Tiankong was left in the safe zone five hundred zhang away…
The safe zone five hundred zhang away was essentially so far that you couldn't even see the shadow of the Senior's cave.
There shouldn't be any problems now!
Yun Zhenting thought to himself.
Yun Zhenting held a special position; he was the "First Generation Patriarch of the Delusional Divine Sect," a leader among the Golden Core mighty figures.
The Golden Core mighty figures all stepped forward with smiles to greet Yun Zhenting.
"Patriarch Yun, you've arrived!"
"Patriarch Yun, after a few days, I find you even more handsome!"
"Patriarch Yun, are you here to see the Senior about something this time? Does the Senior have any decrees to transmit?"
…
Facing everyone's questions, Yun Zhenting had no intention of hiding it. He said.
"I intend to ask the Senior to guide Yun Zhong and the others in their cultivation!"
To have the Senior guide their cultivation!
Holy cow!
That's so exciting!
The Golden Core mighty figures were both surprised and delighted.
They had been here for so long and had never seen the Senior's true face. When the Senior came out to guide the Yun family juniors, they would be able to see the Senior's true form… Hehehe, just thinking about it was truly exciting!
The Golden Core mighty figures all expressed their great anticipation.
At this moment, a few quick-thinking sect masters realized this was a rare and excellent opportunity that should not be missed.
Flying sword transmission!
These sect masters each sent out "flying sword transmissions," ordering the most outstanding disciples of their sects to rush over as quickly as possible… The Yun family disciples were receiving direct guidance from the Senior, but their own disciples were not so fortunate; even being able to overhear was good.
To be able to hear the Senior's "preaching of the Dao" was a monumental opportunity!
Seeing these sect masters send out "flying sword transmissions," the other Golden Core mighty figures awoke from their stupor and also sent out "flying sword transmissions."
Quickly, quickly, rush over immediately to listen to the Senior's "profound Dharma of the Great Dao"!
Yun Zhenting did not stop them. He frowned slightly, his gaze unconsciously drifting towards Yun Tiankong's location.
Five hundred zhang, over sixteen hundred meters, was very far. Logically, Yun Tiankong shouldn't be able to cause any trouble.
However, Yun Zhenting felt a sense of unease, as if something would happen involving Yun Tiankong…
Alas, let's hope it's just an illusion!
Yun Zhenting comforted himself in his heart.
Just then, a sudden change occurred!
*Rumble!*
A deafening roar erupted!
