The clash of family backgrounds is only noticeable to those who pay attention.

And Xu Xiangqian himself was probably not feeling much of anything.

Before entering the Heavenly Treasure Secret Realm, he met Jiang Wang, who was quite happy.

The two of them could be considered to have had a short-lived bond forged in adversity. Although judging by Xu Xiangqian's current performance, perhaps only Jiang Wang was truly in danger back then...

"Brother Xu," Jiang Wang said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. "Why not call me Uncle anymore"

Xu Xiangqian waved his hand: "I was short-sighted back then, so short-sighted."

Having said that, he enthusiastically pulled over the handsome young man with a jade pendant beside him, and introduced Jiang Wangdao: "This is a friend I met in Youguo. He looks older, but he's actually a youthful white (meaning young), kind and good-hearted!"

And introduced the valiant young man: "This is Li Longchuan. He's very good at archery!"

Jiang Wang and Li Longchuan looked at each other, and both smiled helplessly.

After a brief greeting, Jiang Wang sensed that Chong Xuan was poking at him.

Zhong Xuan Sheng naturally knew Li Longchuan, but he didn't take the initiative to talk to him. Instead, he secretly poked Jiang Wang with his chubby fingers, and his voice whispered into Jiang Wang's ear: "You pay attention, this is our competitor!"

Li Longchuan probably noticed Chong Xuan Sheng's little movements and smiled, "Chong Xuan brother, long time no see"

"Cheers to you." Chong Xuan snorted from his nostrils: "This young master is doing alright."

Li Longchuan smiled and remained silent.

Zhen Xuan instead gave him another look: "How come even a prestigious figure like Li Longchuan needs to ask for outside help"

"Of course I don't need him," Li Longchuan smiled faintly, revealing a strong confidence. "Brother Xu is not my assistant after all. This time entering the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm, he doesn't need to help me grab opportunities. Whoever gets it is theirs; you could say he's also my competitor. And he certainly won't go easy on anyone."

"That's right!" Xu Xiangqian said with a serious expression, "A gentleman's contest must be fought with all his might!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Chongxuan felt like he had slapped someone in the face, it was boring. He pulled on Jiang Wang's sleeve and said, "Let's meet in the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm then. We need to go over there and discuss our strategy."

Having said that, he forcibly dragged Jiang Wang to a corner. Fourteen naturally followed him step by step.

Jiang Wang could only smile apologetically at Li Longchuan and Xu Xiangqian before following along.

Actually, there's no need to discuss any tactics. We already discussed everything beforehand. Besides, we all have no idea about the Tianfu Secret Realm, so there's nothing much to discuss.

ZHONG Xuan Sheng simply wanted to distance himself from Li Longchuan.

This, Jiang Wang knew, and Li Longchuan also knew.

Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

Perhaps only Xu Xiangqian is the exception...

He also enthusiastically waved his hand: "Brother Jiang! See you in the secret realm! A contest among gentlemen!"

After finishing, he clenched his fist powerfully.

This is just a short message.

Here, Chong Xuan pulled Jiang Wang aside and whispered, "Although Li Longchuan doesn't look like much, he's very strong. We must not underestimate him. Don't spend too long with him, or his arrows will find your weaknesses automatically."

Jiang Wang was a little surprised: "That's so scary"

On the contrary, I overlooked Chong Xuan's inexplicable confidence in his looks. Or perhaps, he had unknowingly gotten used to it...

>

"Or what do you think" Chongxuan rolled his small eyes with effort, then said somewhat sheepishly, "Logically speaking, we're friends, and I shouldn't let you look for opportunities for me. But getting the divine power from the Inner Sanctum is very important to me. Once I get the opportunity, I'll help you get one immediately!"

"What's there to be about" Jiang Wang laughed. "Brothers should settle accounts clearly. You didn't coerce me; I agreed willingly. Besides, even if I was willing to help others find opportunities, would anyone give me a spot"

Zhong Xuan was clearly moved. He patted Jiang Wang on the shoulder and said, "It's great that you think that way..."

Actually, sometimes it's not easy for people to distinguish right from wrong. It's the most difficult thing to grasp the boundaries.

"The saying "to fight over a grain of rice and become enemies" means that both sides failed to grasp the proper measure."

Holding everything in and brooding over it will only create rifts in your heart, and those rifts will grow wider and wider.

Like Chong Xuan Sheng, being straightforward and clear about things doesn't necessarily damage relationships.

Amidst their anxieties, anticipations, and exchanges, time gradually passed.

Suddenly, someone saw that at some point, a full moon reflection appeared in the center of Man Yue Tan.

The moon in the sky hasn't risen yet.

Just then, nightfall descended.

The entire perimeter of Full Moon Lake is surrounded by a circular corridor.

The corridor's eaves reach beyond the boundaries, exposing the entirety of Full Moon Lake to the night sky.

According to past experience, at a specific time, when the moon in the sky and the moon in the water overlap, the Tianfu secret realm will open.

>

Jiang Wang glanced at the sky; it was still some distance before the moon rose to its zenith.

Just then.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

The constant, clear footsteps echoed in the ears of everyone present.

Zhong Xuan's face changed, he said to Jiang Wang: "The biggest opponent is here."

Walking out of the corridor and to the side of Man Yue Lake, there was a man in martial arts attire with an extremely long face.

His face was very long, but it wasn't unattractive. On the contrary, his sharp eyes and high nose gave him a unique charm.

This is just a placeholder. Please provide the text you would like translated!

Even with the opening of the Tianfu Secret Realm imminent, people couldn't help but whisper amongst themselves.

How did he come

"Wang Yiwu... how could he be here"

"Where does he need it"

This was a commotion that Li Longchuan had never seen before.

It can be seen that the pressure brought by this person.

"Who is he" Jiang Wang transmitted his voice, afraid of causing trouble.

A heavy, barely-suppressed anger laced Chong Xuan's voice: "Jiang Mengxiong, the military god of Daqi, has a closed-door disciple. The youngest and weakest in terms of cultivation, yet Jiang Mengxiong expects him to be Qi Guo's next military god! He doesn't need to come to Tianfu Secret Realm at all. Although he's still in the Tongtian realm, the moment his meridians opened, he sensed his divine ability seed."

His torso's sea had long since been cleansed, the Heavenly Gate to him as brittle as thin paper.

He only needed to open the Heaven and Earth Gate, and he could immediately tap into his inner sanctum and obtain supernatural powers. There was no need to hone himself in the Tenglong Realm at all.

He remained before the Heavenly Gate simply because he was too powerful. The Heavenly Gate was insufficient to consume too much of his strength. At the moment when the Dao Pulse soared, if he couldn't restrain his power, it was very likely to damage his core sea and injure the foundation of the Great Dao. Jiang Mengxiong had been trying every means to increase the intensity of his Heavenly Gate.

The Heaven and Earth Gate is a formidable barrier on the path of cultivation, blocking countless cultivators.

Some people spend their entire lives unable to open the gates of heaven and earth. Some, after opening these gates, become exhausted both physically and mentally, powerless to guide the dragon meridian's ascent, leading to an inherently deficient celestial dragon realm.

And yet, prodigies like Wang Yiwu had to slow their pace because of the fragility of the Heavenly Gate!

From Zhong Xuan's words, Jiang Wang still caught a key point.

Wang Yiwu didn't need to come to the Heavenly Treasure Secret Realm, but he still came.

"So..." Jiang Wang asked, "Did he come for you"

With Chong Xuan's strength, if he went all out, he could easily break into the top hundred of the Heavenly Transcendence Realm in the Illusory Realm.

He finally understood why, even though Chongxuan was powerful, he still needed help exploring a secret realm where all opponents were limited to the Tenglong Realm or below.

Zhong Xuan's face was extremely grim: "I didn't think he would go this far."

Here we go!

The sound of boots hitting the ground seemed to echo in the hearts of every competitor.

Wang Yiwu walked through the crowd and went straight to Zhēng Xuansheng, who was in the corner.

“We can still go back now,” he said.

At this time, Chong Xuan's expression became frighteningly calm.

He narrowed his already small eyes: "You and Chong Xuan are indeed very close."

He posed no threat, because threats were useless.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!

He didn't provoke because provocation is just self-inflicted humiliation.

>

But he won't go back.

He will only respond in kind.

Those who don't know Chong Xuan very well might find him a complex person. He can be childish at times, and at other times, profound.

But his ferocity and tenacity are rarely known to others.

Regarding the reaction of Chongxuan Sheng.

Wang Yiwu was neither angry nor amused.

He no longer spoke. He merely turned his body, standing beside Chong Xuan Sheng, Jiang Wang, and Shi Fourteen.

He didn't say another word.

But there's nothing more to be said.

Happy New Year! I wish everyone can find their direction and we'll keep working hard next year!
