Chapter 895 - 370: Shameless and Unrestrained Life

Yu Changge made a clear statement.

If the people of Yaochi Palace wish to join the Jiuhua Sect, the sect is very welcoming. If they do not wish to join, temporarily residing at Jiuhua Mountain is also completely fine.

Chu Ning then had no more qualms and intended to bring Cen Zijin and Cheng Qinghui along.

Yu Changge insisted on going together.

Not only did he join, but he also called Gong Yuyuan along.

"I reckon Elder Chu, you’ve spoken well of the sect enough times, so we ought to show our sincerity now."

Yu Changge said with a big smile, and Chu Ning naturally had no reason to refuse.

Immediately, the three flew out of the sect.

The three moved at an extremely fast pace, and Yu Changge, perhaps intentionally to see Chu Ning’s capabilities, flew onward with full force.

At first, Chu Ning managed to keep up using the Divine Wind Escape, but later he had to use the Phantom Escape to follow.

As a result, Gong Yuyuan struggled greatly to keep up.

He was even left far behind.

Yu Changge was quite surprised upon seeing this.

He then intentionally slowed down, waiting for Gong Yuyuan to catch up before saying with a smile:

"Elder Chu, your Golden Core Late Stage is certainly remarkable; your spiritual sense and escape technique are on par with those of a Nascent Soul Cultivator."

Gong Yuyuan also smiled and said, "Indeed, I think it would be more fitting for Elder Chu to hold the title of Grand Elder in the sect."

Chu Ning shook his head with a smile after hearing this and said:

"Grand Elder is joking; your prestige and seniority cannot be matched by me."

After sharing some laughs, Yu Changge turned serious and asked:

"Elder Chu, how far can your divine sense extend? Earlier, I was discovered by you first."

Chu Ning pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then replied:

"More than a hundred and twenty li."

Of course, there was some reservation in Chu Ning’s words; a hundred and twenty li was the distance without increasing his spiritual sense.

His actual range is three hundred li.

Yet, such a distance would be too sensational, so Chu Ning chose to remain conservative.

Even so, it was enough to make these two top-level cultivators within the Jiuhua Sect look at each other in awe.

After all, Yu Changge had already advanced to a Nascent Soul Cultivator but still couldn’t achieve a hundred li distance.

In the Cultivation Realm, enhancing one’s divine sense is notoriously difficult; every additional li is hard for even a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

But now, Chu Ning managed to extend tens of li further than Yu Changge, leaving them both astounded.

Yu Changge sighed with emotion:

"Elder Chu, I am now eagerly anticipating what kind of astonishing development you’ll have once you advance to Nascent Soul Cultivator on the Western Alliance Continent."

Beside him, Gong Yuyuan nodded repeatedly and then remarked with a smile:

"Sect Leader, even now, Elder Chu can be considered the number one Golden Core Cultivator of the Cloud Peak Alliance, stronger than Jiang Cheng of the Guiyuan Sect.

Jiang Cheng would never have imagined in his wildest dreams, first being overshadowed by you, the Sect Leader, and now being overshadowed by Elder Chu."

Yu Changge laughed after hearing this and said: "If the chance arises, we truly should arrange a meeting between Elder Chu and Jiang Cheng."

As the three of them chatted and flew onward, Yu Changge and the others took the opportunity to ask Chu Ning certain matters, while Chu Ning also learned more about the current landscape of the Western Alliance Continent.

Although they were prominent figures within the Jiuhua Sect and even the Cloud Peak Alliance, they had never left the Western Alliance Continent.

Hence, they were quite curious about matters regarding the Northern Cold Land and East Saint Continent.

The situation on No-Spirit Island also surprised them.

Chu Ning learned from Yu Changge’s account about current events in the Western Alliance Continent.

The territories of the Cloud Peak Alliance, Celestial Extreme Alliance, and Demon Alliance are relatively close, with ongoing friction between the Celestial Extreme Alliance and Demon Alliance.

Cloud Peak Alliance remains stable partly because the other two alliances wish to bring Cloud Peak Alliance into their camp.

Cloud Peak Alliance maintains a relatively neutral stance, not agreeing to join either alliance for now.

This is naturally stemming from considerations for its own security.

Though ranked fourth among the ten major sect alliances in the Western Alliance Continent, Cloud Peak Alliance is the weakest among the three alliances.

Celestial Extreme Alliance has the strongest power and ranks first in the ten alliances on the continent.

While the Demon Alliance is not as strong as the Celestial Extreme Alliance, it ranks third, just behind Celestial Extreme Alliance and True Martial Alliance.

The top three are generally considered the same level.

As for Cloud Peak Alliance being fourth, it is significantly weaker; the number of Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators are not much different from the eighth-ranked power.

With the fall of many Golden Core cultivators in Golden Spirit Realm, many believe Cloud Peak Alliance has slipped from the top five.

In such a landscape, should Cloud Peak Alliance rashly join either the Celestial Extreme Alliance or Demon Alliance camp,

If they suppress either of the two alliances, Cloud Peak Alliance might not fare well thereafter.

The probability of the two alliances turning to target Cloud Peak Alliance is not small.

Thus, these decades have indeed been a good time for the sects within Cloud Peak Alliance to quietly grow stronger.

With Jiuhua Sect’s previous acquisitions of manifold sect inheritances in Wolong Valley, its overall power increased.

Then, with Yu Changge’s successful advancement to Nascent Soul Cultivator, the status of Jiuhua Sect within the Cloud Peak Alliance has escalated consistently.

Chu Ning couldn’t help but ask upon hearing this:

"By the way, how is the Daluo Sect doing now, will they still target us?"

"There’s been less of that." Gong Yuyuan responded with a smile.

"Firstly, the chief figures within the alliance have reached a consensus to avoid internal fights within the alliance.

Secondly, with the Sect Leader’s advancement to Nascent Soul Cultivator, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators in both sects is equal, which makes Daluo Sect more cautious."

Upon reaching this point, Gong Yuyuan added:
