In the Flying Celestials, in Immortal Ascension Peak owned by the chief disciple, Yang Dengxian.

This place had become the focus of many disciples in the Flying Celestials. It was not because of anything else, but because Chu Yunfan, who was currently in the limelight in the sect, had returned.

In the eyes of many disciples in the Flying Celestials, Chu Yunfan was the most popular disciple. The disciple who had been the most popular previously was the chief disciple, Yang Dengxian. Now that the two of them had collided, there was no doubt that in the eyes of many people, the collision was going to produce the most dazzling light.

Some time ago, Situ Xuan, the sect leader, had given the order to promote Chu Yunfan to a vice- sect leader of the Flying Celestials. To many people, this was the most obvious signal that they wanted to nurture Chu Yunfan as the next sect leader.

Generally speaking, only after the chief disciple had gone through a certain amount of tempering would they be promoted to become a vice-leader.

This was a very obvious signal, and the higher-ups of the Flying Celestials had changed their minds. They had originally favored Yang Dengxian, but now they favored Chu Yunfan. In the eyes of many people, these two people should be like fire and water. However, no one knew that the two of them were sitting opposite each other. They were not as hostile as many people thought.

In a courtyard, Chu Yunfan and Yang Dengxian sat opposite each other. Yang Dengxian poured a cup of tea for Chu Yunfan and then said, “l heard you’ve been in the limelight recently, Junior Chu. Even someone like me who is in seclusion has heard about it.’

Yang Dengxian smiled. Contrary to what many people thought, the two of them were not incompatible. For many people, the higher-ups valued Chu Yunfan more, which was equivalent to invading Yang Dengxian’s domain. This was unprecedented in the past. After all, he was simply unrivaled among his peers. If not for Chu Yunfan, he might have been the only true disciple of the same generation in the Flying Celestials who had stepped into the Creation Stage.

The position of the next sect leader would have been decided internally. Even if another king-physique appeared among the younger disciples, it was impossible for them to catch up with Yang Dengxian. After all, Yang

Dengxian’s cultivation speed was extremely fast when he was cultivating.

However, as the saying went, man’s plan was not as good as God’s plan. Just when everyone regarded him as the next sect leader, Chu Yunfan suddenly   appeared. It was as if Chu Yunfan had jumped out from a crack in a stone.

It was impossible for Yang Dengxian to not feel anything. After all, whether he was to be nurtured as the next sect leader or not, the difference in power was secondary. The key was that the cultivation resources might be worlds apart.

The reason why Yang Dengxian’s cultivation speed was so fast, far surpassing the other true disciples, was not only because of his own extraordinary talent, but also because the Flying Celestials had invested all its strength in nurturing him. However, there was not much conflict between him and Chu Yunfan now. This was because the news that Situ Xuan wanted to promote Chu Yunfan to be a vice sect leader had caused a stir.

However, there were only a few people who really knew the inside story—Chu Yunfan had rejected the promotion. Yang Dengxian was one of the few people who knew the inside story.

Chu Yunfan’s refusal to be promoted to vice sect leader meant that he had indirectly rejected being the future sect leader of the Flying Celestials. Clearly, he did not have this ambition. In the future, he would only be a carefree grand elder, so the conflict with Yang Dengxian was reduced to the minimum. This also meant that Situ Xuan’s plan to rope Chu Yunfan into the Flying Celestials had completely failed. Clearly, Chu Yunfan did not fall for his trick.

Although the future was uncertain, Yang Dengxian was not stupid enough to treat Chu Yunfan as an enemy. Moreover, as the chief disciple and the next sect leader, it was naturally impossible for him to not have this bit of tolerance.

However, although his tone was a little mocking, it was not nonsense. It was because of what had just happened. Although it was only a short time, it had spread throughout the circle of experts almost overnight. Chu Yunfan couldn’t hide it even if he wanted to.

Chu Yunfan had taken care of three ex-prodigies. This news spread like thunder among the current prodigies. After all, they couldn’t even defeat the ex-prodigies. Clearly, they wouldn’t be able to catch up to these ex-prodigies in a few years.

However, now, someone had taken care of these prodigies. This was the first person other than Tang Siyu. Yang Dengxian was shocked. Others had only heard rumors, but he was different. He had fought one of these ex-prodigies.

Of course, he suffered a crushing defeat. With his current cultivation, he had only just touched the fourth Creation Stage. Although his cultivation had improved very quickly, he was still far from the fifth, sixth, or even seventh Creation Stage. This made him quite unhappy.

But under such circumstances, Chu Yunfan managed to defeat the last batch of prodigies, and experts at the peak of the Creation Stage nonetheless. Such existences would be considered top experts even within the grand elders of the Flying Celestials.

Moreover, according to the information, Chu Yunfan had easily defeated the three great experts. He did it faster and easier than Tang Siyu, who had defeated the ex-prodigies.

The extent of Chu Yunfan’s cultivation had shocked Yang Dengxian when he received the news. It was simply unbelievable. It was really infuriating to compare people.

He was also a prodigy of his generation, but because of his cultivation time, he couldn’t compare to the ex-prodigies. As for Chu Yunfan, his cultivation time was even shorter than his, but he could crush the ex-prodigies like ants. Even an idiot could see the difference between them.

Yang Dengxian had to admit that if he was a top genius in the eyes of the world, then Chu Yunfan was a genius among geniuses—a monster among monsters. He wanted to cut open Chu Yunfan’s head to see what it was made of. Chu Yunfan was obviously different.

Thinking of this, Yang Dengxian felt uncomfortable. His enthusiasm for Chu

Yunfan today was related to the news he heard yesterday. He was a genius of

Grand Xia who had been properly trained according to the process, but Chu Yunfan was different. He was clearly an unorthodox person who did not play by the rules.

No one knew what kind of physique Chu Yunfan had. What he had learned outside of the Flying Celestials was even rarer. The resources he had used to cultivate until now were pathetically few in comparison.

In Yang Dengxian’s eyes, Chu Yunfan used the Flying Celestials as just a shield..
