Comprehension Ability: I Come From the Great Emperor Family

"What virtue or ability does this young man possess to earn such respect from the two ancestral spirits?"

The Great Peng King and others looked at Chang Qing, their eyes filled with lingering astonishment and puzzlement.

"Sir" is a title used for those who have exceptional accomplishments in certain areas.

It carries even more weight than the word "senior".

But they couldn't fathom what abilities a mere Divine Body stage cultivator could possess.

To win over ancestral spirits who have lived for eons and are themselves at the Peak of Quasi-Emperor?

Everyone remained silent, but their gazes toward Chang Qing changed somewhat.

If before, Chang Qing was seen as merely a talented junior in their eyes,

now he was almost on par with them in status and position!

This wasn't about being a cultivator, but at the very least, Chang Qing had qualities that even those at the Peak of Quasi-Emperor couldn't match.

"Tsk tsk, good kid, to have the ancestral spirits call you 'sir'... is it because of the Celestial Doctor?"

Su Nan was in a great mood, a hint of a smile in his eyes as he looked at Chang Qing.

No matter what, earning the friendship of the Elven tribe was an extraordinary achievement.

Even if he 'disappeared' in the future, this bond could deter many vile individuals.

[Su Nan, the glorious age we awaited... has arrived]

The smile on Su Nan's lips froze with an unexpected transmission.

A deep, dark light flickered deep in his eyes, as if communicating with someone.

After a moment, Su Nan's expression turned frighteningly grim, the terrifying aura emanating from him causing the surrounding void to collapse continuously.

The Great Peng King, the Demon Lord, Kashyapa and others immediately sensed something was off with Su Nan, and they all looked on with caution.

"All of you, leave!"

Su Nan's voice, filled with anger and killing intent, made the recently calmed atmosphere instantly murderous once more.

"Madman..."

Realizing Su Nan's tone was truly angry, the Demon Lord cursed, his body flickering as he led his people away at once.

Kashyapa and the Great Peng King also didn't know what had happened, but it was clear that Su Nan was in a highly unstable state.

Faced with such a Su Nan, neither of them cared about saving face as they left with their people without saying a word.

Now the glorious era had arrived, and a great battle was imminent. They all needed to plan carefully.

"Domain..."

Miao Ba was stupefied, just about to ask something, but Su Nan suddenly vanished.

"What could make the Domain Master so angry?"

The members of the Little Immortal Sect looked at each other, puzzled about what went wrong.

"Forget it, the Domain Master should be able to handle it. Let's return to the sect first."

As the words fell, Miao Ba waved his sleeves and led everyone directly back to the Little Immortal Sect.

Chang Qing glanced at that departing figure, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

For some reason, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity...

...

At the Little Immortal Sect, within a stone hall on a small peak.

Wu Jiuling sat cross-legged in the hall, carefully observing the floating Dao Diagram before him.

The Dao Diagram was ancient and simple, with a giant axe full of charm engraved upon it, and three Dao characters aligned in the corner: Heaven-Opening Axe.

As a successor of the Martial Ancestor, Wu Jiuling lacked insight and could only open a Minor World, having no fate with the Companion Dao Soldiers.

But fortunately, Chang Qing's appearance allowed the essence and mystery of the Heaven and Earth Divine Body to be fully revealed.

As a descendant in the same lineage, although Wu Jiuling couldn't condense Dao Soldiers, he could study the Dao Diagram to further his 'Dao'.

These days, due to being unable to use his cultivation and no longer troubled by internal injuries, Wu Jiuling immersed himself in the Dao Diagram.

Though the time was short, Wu Jiuling, who had steeped in this Dao for years, gained immensely.

Suddenly, Wu Jiuling opened his eyes, with the phantom of the Heaven-Opening Axe flashing across them.

Whoosh!

In just a moment, an overwhelming and terrifying sharpness surged forth.

The fierceness of that sharpness made the entire stone hall shudder violently, even though Wu Jiuling hadn't used his cultivation.

The steward Fu, standing by the chessboard, waved his wide sleeves, suppressing the soaring sharpness with his Great Saint cultivation.

But when he withdrew his arm, he noticed a corner of his sleeve suddenly dissipated like flying ash.

"Congratulations, senior, for making further progress."

Steward Fu stood up with a smile, offering his congratulations.

Wu Jiuling had stagnated for so many years, and although his cultivation hadn't advanced, daily hardships and torments had propelled his Dao further.

Combined with the primal expression of the Heaven-Opening Axe Dao Diagram, it was like adding wings to a tiger, with Wu Jiuling's strength advancing by leaps and bounds within a few months.

"Haha, before entering the Liu family, I've managed to enhance my cultivation a bit more."

Wu Jiuling laughed heartily, getting to his feet with a grip in the void.

In his hand appeared a Heaven-Opening Axe condensed by surging vital energy and blood.

This axe wasn't the same as Chang Qing's; it lacked many of the strange engravings.

But even so, the revealed sharpness easily tore through the void.

"This time, I won't flee in disgrace with my disciple."

Looking at the perfect giant axe in his hand, Wu Jiuling murmured softly, seemingly recalling the scenes of humiliation from years ago.

"Teacher, Steward Fu, I'm back."

Just as Wu Jiuling sank into his somber thoughts, a voice filled with laughter rang out from outside the stone hall.

"Haha, Chang Qing has returned."

With a wave of his hand, Wu Jiuling swept away his heavy mood, bursting into hearty laughter as he walked out of the stone hall.

After months of not seeing him, Wu Jiuling missed Chang Qing dearly.

Though Steward Fu didn't speak, he also stepped out of the stone hall immediately, wearing a smile.

The two stood outside the hall, facing with smiles, and it was none other than Chang Qing, who was also smiling.

After months apart, Chang Qing's eyes remained bright, and his smile was gentle.
