Jin Quanxiu is a Nascent Soul Master, and his politeness is only due to the Dan Ding Sect’s neutral position. They naturally wouldn’t be ungrateful.
Upon seeing this, the Hua Tian Sect appeared somewhat regretful on the surface, but in their heart, they were overjoyed. Since no one could successfully invite “Yang Cheng”, if the rumors were true, then only the Hua Tian Sect would enjoy the benefits.
In the end, our Hua Tian Sect still walked ahead of other Sects. However, this made them realize they must seize the opportunity to develop quickly, lest they waste their advantage.
Green Cloud Peak.
Liang Sheng’s first year of closed-door cultivation.
During this year, the Dan Ding Sect remained relatively peaceful, except for the sudden, unexplained demotion of a Foundation Establishment Disciple from Green Cloud Peak to the market, serving there for 300 years.
If nothing unexpected happens, he probably won’t have a chance to return to the Dan Ding Sect in this lifetime, dying of old age in the market. Unless he could break through to the Golden Core Realm and prolong his life by a thousand years, he might be able to return to the Dan Ding Sect.
As for the sudden change, Xiang Chen, the Peak Master of Green Cloud Peak, didn’t reveal much, but everyone could more or less guess the reason.
The third eldest of Green Cloud Peak, Yang Cheng, has been forced into closed-door cultivation right now. It’s hard not to connect these two incidents together.
It seems that from now on, the Dan Ding Sect must be more cautious about Yang Cheng’s affairs. No one would dare to joke around anymore, especially since the Green Cloud Peak line seems to be very protective of their disciples.
Liang Sheng’s tenth year of closed-door cultivation.
Perhaps no one had expected Liang Sheng to lock himself away like this. Ten years of closed-door cultivation, especially since he had just reached the Foundation Establishment Late Stage when he returned to the Sect.
According to common sense, even the most talented cultivator with exceptional fortune would have to wait at least seventy years to reach the Late Foundation Establishment Stage and then the Peak of Foundation Establishment.
So, these seventy years aren’t really that productive for Foundation Establishment Latter Stage Cultivators, but it showed that “Yang Cheng” had a tenacious character and could really endure loneliness.
But considering his previous fortune, it might not be impossible that Green Cloud Peak would welcome another Golden Core Daoist within a hundred years.
Of course, at first, people thought that Liang Sheng’s actions were impulsive. However, over the past ten years, other sects have been inquiring about “Yang Cheng” every year or two.
It’s not hard to see that their intentions haven’t changed. From this perspective, “Yang Cheng” being in closed-door cultivation seems to be a good thing. At least he no longer needs to travel between other sects.
After all, no one knows if he would have the same luck as in the Hua Tian Sect if he went to another sect for a hundred years and smoothly advanced through Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
The disciples of the Dan Ding Sect also heard some rumors during these years. Other sects were prepared to offer no less than what the Hua Tian Sect offered before, which means at least one Spirit Tool, in exchange for “Yang Cheng” being free for a hundred years.
However, no one has verified this news. Given the previous incident where a Green Cloud Peak disciple was banished to the market for 300 years, no one dares to speak carelessly about it.
Liang Sheng’s twentieth year of closed-door cultivation.
By this time, not many people still remember Liang Sheng’s closed-door cultivation, as time has a way of making people forget those they haven’t seen.
Only when the disciples of Green Cloud Peak had free time, they would occasionally mention the legendary figure of Liang Sheng as a topic of casual conversation.
He is a Foundation Establishment disciple coveted by other sects, even ordinary Golden Core True Monarchs do not receive such treatment.
However, now twenty years have passed, and other sects have also seen through the Dan Ding Sect’s intentions. As long as they don’t want to have a falling out with the Dan Ding Sect, they can only resign themselves to fate.
So, they gradually stopped making such requests, and seeing this situation, no one was happier than Jin Quanxiu and his disciple Xiang Chen. Maybe in a few more years, other sects would completely give up on trying to borrow “Yang Cheng”.
However, Cheng’er (junior brother) is truly extraordinary. In the impossible-to-complete twenty-year period, he managed to keep his composure, staying in closed-door cultivation without coming out.
He’s truly tenacious and ruthless!
Previously they thought that if Liang Sheng couldn’t hold on, they would let him come out temporarily to catch his breath. Before the arrival of other sects, he would immediately enter closed-door cultivation again.
Their plan was mainly about evasion, but they didn’t expect Liang Sheng to be so determined, going into closed-door cultivation and never coming out. Jin Quanxiu couldn’t help but laugh and cry at this situation.
Of course, deep down, he was more satisfied than anything. With his junior disciple having this kind of mindset, how could he not break through to the Golden Core Realm?
After all, his junior disciple has always been blessed with fortune. Among the inner sect disciples, there are only a few people who can compare with him in terms of luck.
Liang Sheng’s thirtieth year of closed-door cultivation.
Jin Quanxiu’s heart was no longer just full of satisfaction, but also with a faint worry. It’s been thirty years, why hasn’t Cheng’er come out yet?
It’s true that cultivators should be calm and still during closed-door cultivation, but under circumstances where it is impossible to make a breakthrough, cultivators shouldn’t be in closed-door cultivation indefinitely.
Fortunately, through Liang Sheng’s Life Token left in the Internal Affairs
Office, Jin Quanxiu sensed that everything was fine with him. Only then did he barely feel relieved and quietly waited for his junior disciple to come out of closed-door cultivation.
Liang Sheng’s fortieth year of closed-door cultivation.
At this point, besides the Inner Sect Foundation Building Disciples, many other disciples of the Green Cloud Peak could hardly recall the existence of Liang Sheng, let alone the entire sect.
Although everyone knew Liang Sheng existed because he is Xiang Chen’s junior brother, the current Peak Master, no one had ever seen him, so how could they remember him?
In the past ten years, Jin Quanxiu had been putting aside his Sect Master status and frequently appeared at the Green Cloud Peak. Such actions had been rare since he became the Dan Ding Sect’s Leader..
