Chapter 241 - The Name of a Man

Genres:Martial Arts and Xianxia Last update:25/03/23 21:02:47
    Han Wei Cheng was very helpless. The person he least wanted to see in his heart was Ding Huan, but he had no choice but to go see Ding Huan.

    He truly doesn't have Ding Huan's communication bead.

    All the previous statements were mostly made up by him, except for the items he had sent out, the only thing that could be taken seriously was Ding Huan's promise to help out once.

    Ding Huan bought some more materials to decorate the transmission array in Tian Qi City before leaving.

    To Ding Huan's surprise, just as he was leaving the city, he saw Han Wei Cheng walking towards Tian Qi City looking dejected.

    Han Wei Cheng came to Tian Qi City to take a transmission array. He needed to take the transmission array first to Ziyuan City before heading to Blue Star Sect, which was much closer after reaching Ziyuan City.

    He is now stuck on what excuse to use to visit Ding Huan, and also preparing how many materials to take from Tian Qi Pavilion as a gift for Ding Huan.

    "Old Han, did you lose money in a bet or argue with your wife? Why do you look so down in the dumps?"

    Ding Huan called out to Han Wei Cheng.

    Han Wei Cheng hadn't expected Ding Huan to still be in Tian Qi City and unexpectedly run into him outside the city, so he quickly approached and executed a bow.

    "Master Ding, I'm here to beg for your help. I truly feel sorry about this."

    He was shivering uncontrollably, and his mind kept thinking about one thing: Why isn't Ding Huan leaving yet?

    "Speak up, what's the problem?"

    Ding Huan wasn't particularly concerned. Considering the virtual void sand, he would help as much as he could.

    Han Wei Cheng quickly explained:

    "This is the situation, there has always been some dirty dealing between our Tian Qi Sect and the Seven Stars Sect over a vein of ore, and recently, the two sects have even had some conflicts..."

    Ding Huan did understand, wasn't it because of the conflicts in Ziyuan Chongshan before he established Blue Star Sect, just like the differences between Zixia Valley and Jiyin Gate.

    "Our sect's elder, Chen Kuang, and an elder from the Seven Stars Sect got into a fierce fight over the ore vein. As a result, Elder Chen from our sect was outnumbered and captured by the Seven Stars Sect."

    The Seven Stars Sect demands that our sect compensate for a high-level divine vein and relinquish that mine in return for releasing Elder Chen.

    "We are unable to produce these items, but Elder Chen Kuang is our first elder of Tian Qi Sect..."

    Elder Chen Kuang is indeed very important to Tian Qi Sect.

    Badao Tangtang can be considered the first-rank blacksmith in Tian Qi Sect, and his teacher is Elder Chen Kuang.

    Elder Chen Kuang is a born blacksmith, although he may not be the most powerful blacksmith, his knowledge of blacksmithing theory is undoubtedly unique in Tian Qi Sect.

    It can be said that without the sect master, Tian Qi Sect can still function, but without Elder Chen Kuang, it cannot.

    "Do you want me to go save Elder Chen Kuang?" Ding Huan understood Han Wei Cheng's meaning.

    Han Wei Cheng quickly rubbed his hands together, his tone somewhat awkward:

    "This depends on whether it's convenient for Master Ding. If not, it's fine."

    Ding Huan nodded:

    "You lead the way. Let's head to the Seven Stars Sect right now."

    What's there to be convenient or not? He was supposed to go to Yan Yue Sect for collection next. It's no trouble at all to make a detour and visit the Seven Stars Sect.

    "Thank you, Master Ding." Han Wei Cheng was overjoyed to see that Ding Huan agreed, and quickly brought out his spaceship to lead the way.

    He had intended to spend a lot of resources, emptying Tian Qi Pavilion to give to Ding Huan, but he didn't expect Ding Huan to agree so easily.

    Ding Huan simply followed Han Wei Cheng's footsteps, with the parting gun in tow.

    The Seven Stars Sect and Tian Qi Sect are not far from each other, and it only took half a day for Han Wei Cheng to stop at a rather imposing gate of a sect.

    The reason why Ding Huan considers this sect imposing in his eyes is because seven stars are suspended above the entrance of the Seven Stars Sect through an array.

    These seven stars are arranged according to some cosmic rule, giving a sense of vastness in the void.

    However, this only gives the impression to others. Ding Huan practices Grand Cosmic Art, and in his eyes, these seven stars are connected through a sect star array, without any mention of cosmic rules.

    "Master Ding, I'll go knock on the mountain gate?" Han Wei Cheng still sought Ding Huan's opinion.

    Ding Huan helplessly looked at Han Wei Cheng. Isn't it obvious? Do you really need to ask?

    Han Wei Cheng realized that he was talking too much, and he quickly came to the mountain gate to knock on the protective array of the Seven Stars Sect.

    The array door opened to reveal two disciples who guarded the gate. Upon seeing Han Wei Cheng, their faces turned grim.

    Clearly, both of these disciples were familiar with Han Wei Cheng.

    Han Wei Cheng has a relatively high position in the Tian Qi Sect, but it doesn't impress them much.

    They guard the mountain gate well enough, aren't they also foundation cultivators? Han Wei Cheng is also a foundation cultivator.

    "Two of you, please inform your sect master that Han Wei Cheng from the Tian Qi Sect is here to pay a visit."

    Han Wei Cheng cupped his hands in greeting, his tone was extremely sincere.

    "Haha, you a foundation cultivator, come to meet our sect master? Have you eaten something wrong?"

    One of the guards disdainfully glanced at Han Wei Cheng, not even bothering to move.

    Ding Huan couldn't help but express his dissatisfaction with Han Wei Cheng's efficiency. He spoke out loudly:

    "Master Ding Huan of Blue Star Sect, passing by Seven Stars Sect, has come to visit."

    Ding Huan?

    The two guards heard the words "Ding Huan," instinctively drew their treasures, only to realize later that it would be useless for them to have brought out their treasures since Ding Huan intended to confront the Seven Stars Sect.

    Before the two guards could figure out how to inform their sect of Ding Huan's arrival, several dashes of cultivation aura came speeding towards them.

    "Whose servant is this? I am Luo Changqing, the master of the Seven Stars Sect." The young man in charge bowed his hand, his tone extremely courteous.

    The man looked refined, with a scholarly appearance.

    Ding Huan bowed, "I am Ding Huan. I have disturbed Master Luo."

    "Hahaha, it is our great fortune that Ding Master could come to our Seven Stars Sect. Please, Ding Master..."

    Luo Changqing laughed heartily, adding more fervent invitation.

    The several elders following Luo Changqing also all bowed to Ding Huan, while Han Wei Cheng on the side was completely ignored.

    Han Wei Cheng had no thought of feeling slighted or disrespected. He was still reflecting in his heart, truly a name carrying the weight of a tree.

    Ding Master simply stated his name, and the head of the sect immediately rushed out to greet him.

    Ding Huan also returned the bow and said:

    "I was just passing by here and will come to visit again next time. Today, I mainly help Tian Qi Sect with something. I've heard that your sect has some small conflicts with Tian Qi Sect..."

    Before Ding Huan could finish his words, Luo Changqing laughed again:

    "As for the matter at that time, it's just a small thing. Xun Elder, please immediately send someone to bring Elder Chen Kuang from Tian Qi Sect."

    Han Wei Cheng was stunned by Ding Huan's efficiency in handling affairs. Was that it?

    Let's not talk about Luo Changqing, the head of the sect, welcoming him personally. Just by Ding Huan's one sentence...

    No, it's not that one sentence hasn't been finished. The sect master guessed what Ding Huan intended to do before he even finished his sentence and immediately dispatched someone to bring Elder Chen Kuang.

    To know that up until now, Tian Qi Sect has been in a meeting discussing how to rescue Elder Chen Kuang.

    Indeed, just a moment later, Xunsan Elder led a man with his hair standing on end to walk over.

    "Zhang Elder..." Han Wei Cheng saw that Elder Chen Kuang was unharmed, so he quickly approached and greeted.

    "Haha, I was wondering why he came out so quickly. It's because Han Elder came."

    Chen Kuang may be chaotic, but he's not stupid.

    He naturally knows that this matter has nothing to do with Han Wei Cheng, but he must say this at least to maintain the prestige of Tian Qi Sect.

    Han Wei Cheng was sweating profusely in his heart, thinking, "Elder Zhang, don't you know how much I Han Wei Cheng am worth?"

    "I have such great abilities, how could I let the master of the Seven Stars Sect and five elders come to welcome me at the gate of my sect?"

    "Elder Zhang, this is Ding Master, the master of Blue Star Sect." Han Wei Cheng quickly introduced Ding Huan.

    Elder Chen Kuang immediately understood that his coming out was related to Ding Huan. He quickly cupped his hands in greeting as well.

    He had been imprisoned for a long time and didn't know that Ding Huan had recently destroyed the Twin Soul Sect.

    After reciprocating the bow, Ding Huan noticed the awkwardness among the crowd and interjected:

    "Han Elder, you and Elder Zhang should go back. I'll have a few words with Master Luo."

    "Yes, we'll take our leave. When you pass by Tian Qi Sect next time, you must come and visit. Let me, Han Wei Cheng, show you the hospitality of my sect."

    Han Wei Cheng applied a layer of gold to his face before leaving,

    That was to tell Luo Changqing that his relationship with Master Ding was quite close.

    After Han Wei Cheng and Chen Kuang left, Luo Changqing once again invited Ding Huan.

    Ding Huan waved his hand:

    "I really do have some matters to attend to, but I see that Master Luo's cultivation has been stuck in the True Dan Realm, and there seems to be a problem with achieving completion..."

    Luo Changqing was taken aback and then sighed:

    "Yes, maybe it's related to my cultivation. For decades, I have been unable to break through this final barrier."

    Ding Huan smiled slightly:

    "Master Luo, may I take a look at your cultivation now?"

    Luo Changqing was not only stunned by Ding Huan's words but also the other elders had angry expressions on their faces.

    They were afraid of Ding Huan, so they released Elder Chen Kuang immediately after knowing Ding Huan's intention. They didn't even make any demands.

    Ding Huan dared to insult their sect master in front of them, which was simply too much. How can a leader of a sect be made to practice in front of others?

    Luo Changqing soon realized that his assumption might be wrong. Who is Ding Huan? Why would he come to humiliate the leader of a mere sect?

    Upon reflection, Luo Changqing immediately sat down in place and began to cultivate.

    Seeing Luo Changqing's self-denial, the other elders all sighed in silence, realizing their own helplessness due to their inferior cultivation. They could only yield to superior force.

    Luo Changqing was cultivating the Seven Stars Dao. As soon as he started to run this heavenly wheel, Ding Huan immediately identified the issue.

    Before Luo Changqing had completed two cycles of the cultivation, he heard Ding Huan's voice in his ear:

    "The star generates a profound aperture. The dan is like the golden one in the star... The path of the star-energy covers three levels of cultivation, corresponding to three heaven's treasuries. It takes three revolutions around the three heavens."

    "When the star energy cycle is just completed, it moves to the lower heaven's treasury... When the cultivation reaches its pinnacle, it moves to the upper heaven's treasury. At this point, there is no need for a return cycle to transform spirit into qi or gas. This is known as a regular star energy cycle..."

    Luo Changqing's heart skipped a beat, and then he suddenly understood. He had been taking a detour, as his cultivation method was like removing one's pants to fart.

    This is Ding Master guiding himself.

    Luo Changqing quickly followed Ding Huan's advice to cultivate the Seven Stars Dao. It took him seven cycles to complete his true dan.

    Luo Changqing knew that today was his opportunity, and he kept advancing towards the Yuanhun Realm without rest.

    Just one cycle passed, a heavy thunderclap echoed in the sky.
