Chapter 705: Something Big Is Coming
Zilong True Person, Nangong Wuqing, is the Supreme Elder of the Purple Qi Sect in Xia Country, a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator, known for clashing fiercely with a Great Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator and retreating unscathed after several dozen moves!
It is said that this person is exceptionally gifted, a Fire Attribute Supreme Spiritual Root Cultivator, with a unique physique highly compatible with the Purple Qi Sect's signature cultivation technique, "Purple Qi Heavenly Dragon Art," elevating this technique's power to a realm not attained by the sect's ancestors.
Additionally, he had other fortuitous encounters, obtaining an ancestral Spiritual Treasure while still at the Golden Core Stage, in addition to the Purple Qi Sect's Heritage Spiritual Treasure.
With these two Spiritual Treasures and his own formidable Divine Secret Skills, Nangong Wuqing once dueled with the Supreme Great Elder of Zhengyang Palace in Xia Country and retreated after several dozen moves, an event that shocked the Cultivation World!
After that battle, even though Nangong Wuqing hadn't reached the Great Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator level, many Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators already regarded him as a Great Cultivator.
What's more, many Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators envy him for his relatively young age.
He succeeded in Nascent Soul Formation before the age of seven hundred and broke through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage in less than five hundred years, with a high probability of reaching the Nascent Soul Late Stage in the future.
With the formidable strength he exhibited at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, should he break through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage, his power could be among the top tier of Nascent Soul Late Stage Great Cultivators.
Thus, the name of this Zilong True Person is quite renowned among the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators in the Cultivation World, so much so that even Zhou Chun, who hasn't been in the Nascent Soul Formation for long, has heard of him.
However, from what Zhou Chun has heard, although Zilong True Person Nangong Wuqing does not live up to his name by being heartless, he is still extremely proud, barely acknowledging early Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, considering it a waste of time to engage with them casually.
It's puzzling why he would suddenly take the initiative to invite him to travel together in his vehicle!
While Zhou Chun was pondering this doubt, Nangong Wuqing, upon hearing his words, laughed heartily and said, "Taoist Friend Zhou, you're too kind. In terms of reputation, in recent decades, it's you, Taoist Friend Zhou, who have made a name for yourself in the Cultivation World. Even when someone like myself is in Xia Country, I often hear of your deeds. It's truly an honor to have known of you for so long!"
With that, he lavishly praised him, saying, "As they say, seeing is believing. Upon seeing Taoist Friend Zhou in person today, I realize that the rumors are indeed true. Your presence is indeed extraordinary, a true dragon among men!"
"You're too kind, Taoist Friend Nangong, you're too kind. Zhou Mou is but an ordinary talent, unworthy of such praise from you'd, Taoist Friend Nangong!"
Zhou Chun repeatedly waved his hand in modesty but understood why Nangong Wuqing was so enthusiastic towards him.
He estimated that Nangong Wuqing's enthusiasm was likely a facade, with a real intent to probe into his background.
So, his thoughts churned, but he did not refuse the invitation, and quickly responded with a smile, "I've long admired Taoist Friend Nangong's illustrious name. Since we have the fortune to meet today and are both attending the 'Tianyi Grand Assembly,' I would like to learn more about it from you, Taoist Friend."
"Hahaha, Taoist Friend Zhou, you're indeed straightforward. Please, come with me."
Nangong Wuqing laughed heartily again and immediately extended his hand, inviting Zhou Chun inside the Rainbow Light Flying Vessel.
This Rainbow Light Flying Vessel is several tens of feet long, with a vast interior space and numerous cabins.
After following him into the guest cabin, Zhou Chun realized that this Zilong True Person indeed knows how to enjoy life.
Because all the furnishings and items in the cabin were crafted from precious woods and jade materials, providing some uniquely pleasant effects.
Moreover, there are dozens of beautiful women with different temperaments inside the Rainbow Light Flying Vessel, with cultivation levels ranging from the Qi Cultivation Stage to the Golden Core Stage, seemingly concubines and maidservants kept by the Zilong True Person.
"Please forgive Taoist Friend Zhou for not being amused. I have no other hobby in life, but a fondness for beautiful women and fine wine. These beauties were all offered by various forces below, each has their unique charm and skills, making it hard for me to give them up!"
Seemingly sensing Zhou Chun's surprise, Nangong Wuqing candidly laughed and revealed his preferences without waiting for him to speak.
"Taoist Friend Nangong's lifestyle is truly enviable!"
Zhou Chun gently nodded, then half-seriously, half-jokingly lamented, "It's just that I know my own limitations; with mediocre talent and weak resolve, I might have a slight chance for progress through diligent cultivation, but if I indulged in wine and women, I fear I'd be stuck at my current level for life!"
Hearing this, Nangong Wuqing snickered and said, "Taoist Friend Zhou must be joking. As far as I know, you were not even six hundred years old when forming your Nascent Soul, right? If someone with your prodigious talent is considered mediocrity, then what does that make my friends and me, who succeeded at six or seven hundred years old?"
"Uh, I meant no such thing."
Zhou Chun awkwardly scratched his head, realizing he might have been overly humble.
Having been cautious all his life, he well understands the proverb about the dangers of fame and strength, so he has always maintained modesty and prudence, a habit.
Now, faced with someone as strong as Nangong Wuqing among Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, he reflexively displayed his habitual modesty, to avoid making a poor impression.
Seeing his response, Nangong Wuqing chuckled and said, "Heh heh, it seems Taoist Friend Zhou indeed is a diligent cultivator. No wonder you've achieved such feats at such a young age!"
