Chapter 1203 Sincere Invitation
"I didn't expect that Brother Zhou could successfully advance to the Refining Void Realm through his own efforts. He is truly a natural talent."
In Tingyuxuan, Xu Hanchang showed a look of surprise after hearing about Zhou Yiqiao's experiences over the years.
"I was able to advance to the Void Refining Realm back then, but it took me a huge amount of military merit to exchange for a precious realm-breaking pill from Brother Luo Chen, which allowed me to cross that insurmountable threshold."
"Even so, when Xu first advanced, he was on the verge of death and almost collapsed."
"In comparison, Brother Zhou is truly a role model for our generation."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao did not tell Xu Hanchang that he had also obtained an ancient treasure pill, which gave him the confidence to break through.
He just smiled modestly and spoke.
"Brother Xu, you are too kind. I was just lucky enough to break through by chance."
"The road of cultivation is long and arduous. I know that I am a layman in all kinds of skills such as formations and refining. Compared with those disciples of the Holy Sect who come from famous families and have abundant resources, my overall strength is probably far inferior."
"Take the magic weapon for example. Since I broke through the refining void, I have not found an ancient innate treasure that is truly suitable for me. Whenever I think about it, I always feel a lingering fear."
When Xu Hanchang heard this, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes.
He patted Zhou Yiqiao's shoulder gently, his tone full of sincerity.
"Brother Zhou, you are wrong. The path of cultivation is not an easy one. It is rare to be able to break through to the realm of refining emptiness by one's own strength."
"As for the magic weapon, it is nothing but an external object. With Brother Zhou's talent, given time, he will surely be able to find the treasure that resonates with your mind."
"Besides, with Brother Zhou's current level of cultivation, there is no place that will not be easy for him to go. Brother Zhou, your future achievements will surely be limitless."
Seeing that the groundwork was almost complete, Xu Hanchang glanced at Luo Chen intentionally or unintentionally. After getting the latter's approval, he spoke further.
"Brother Zhou, have you ever heard of the Heaven Beyond Heaven?"
Zhou Yiqiao was slightly stunned. He had only heard of Tianwaitian and the name, but knew very little about its details.
He frowned slightly, raised his finger and pointed above his head, and asked slowly.
"Could the 'Heaven Beyond Heaven' that Brother Xu mentioned be the place in the legend?"
Xu Hanchang nodded, awe glittering in his eyes.
"It is the mysterious and unfathomable Heaven Beyond Heaven, which is beyond the mundane world and located above the nine heavens."
"The rules there are completely different from what we know. The spiritual energy is so dense that it is almost liquefied. It is a holy place that practitioners dream of, but it is also a battlefield where challenges and opportunities coexist."
He paused, looked at Zhou Yiqiao deeply, and continued.
"Brother Luo Chen and I, as well as many like-minded strong men, have been troubled by a hidden power in the outer world for many years."
“This force is neither a demon nor a devil, but it has the ability to rewrite the laws of heaven and earth, threatening the peace of the entire cultivation world.”
At this point, a hint of worry flashed across Xu Hanchang's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.
"Brother Zhou, you are extremely talented and your cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds. You are exactly the help we desperately need."
"We sincerely invite you to go to the outer world together to fight against that force and protect the peace and tranquility of the Tianchen Realm."
Zhou Yiqiao had to admit that Xu Hanchang's words were provocative. Just a few words made him feel an inexplicable excitement and sense of mission.
However, after his blood boiled, he quickly calmed down.
He knew clearly that his current strength was far inferior to the geniuses of the Tianchen Realm such as Qing Jimeng and Chen Fan, not to mention being compared with the two powerful men in front of him who were able to fight against unknown alien monsters.
He took a deep breath, his eyes moved between Xu Hanchang and Luo Chen, and after a long time, he gently shook his head.
"Brother Xu, Brother Luo Chen, I am grateful for your kindness."
"But I still have some self-knowledge. The mysterious place beyond the heaven is not for ordinary people to set foot in."
“Although I was lucky enough to advance to the Void Refining Stage, I am still just a drop in the ocean in front of a truly powerful person.”
"Although Zhou is willing to help, he may not be able to do so and may become a burden instead."
"It is my honor that you two can look at me, but for now I would rather consolidate my own cultivation and study the formation and the art of refining, so that I can give you two more substantial help in the future."
Upon hearing this, Xu Hanchang did not show any disappointment. Instead, he admired Zhou Yiqiao's prudence and self-awareness even more.
他微微一笑，道。
"It is rare for Brother Zhou to have such an idea."
"On the road of cultivation, steady and cautious is the right way."
"However, matters beyond the heavens cannot be resolved overnight. If Brother Zhou is interested, you might as well learn a little about it first. When the time is right, it won't be too late to make plans."
Luo Chen nodded in agreement.
"Brother Zhou, the path of cultivation is long, and every choice is crucial."
"Since you have this intention, we will respect it."
"But please remember, if you really need it in the future, we always welcome you to join us."
When Zhou Yiqiao heard this, a warm feeling surged in his heart.
The feeling of being valued makes people feel comfortable and happy at any time.
He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and bowed solemnly to the two of them.
"Thank you for your understanding. Zhou will definitely live up to your expectations and practice hard to become a strong man who can stand on his own as soon as possible."
"If that day ever comes, I will fight alongside you two and safeguard the peace of the Tianchen Realm together."
Inside Tingyu Pavilion, the three of them smiled at each other, and the atmosphere was warm and firm.
......
Time flies, and soon it is one month later.
After receiving the news that Xu Hanchang was bringing Luo Chen back to the sect, the top management of Qinjian Villa immediately returned to the villa.
However, after the senior executives arrived at the villa, they did not summon Xu Hanchang, but discussed more important matters behind closed doors.
Manor owner Qing Lietian sat in the main seat in the meeting hall, scanning each of the elders present with sharp eyes.
"Everyone, Xu Hanchang and Luo Chen have returned, which means we have the opportunity to cooperate with Daxuantian."
His voice was steady and powerful, echoing in the meeting room.
"But we can't be blindly optimistic. We must clearly realize that Daxuantian's help is not free."
An elder said in a deep voice, a hint of worry in his eyes.
Another elder continued.
"As the top power in Tianchen Realm, Daxuantian controls almost all the resources in Tianchen Realm."
"If we want them to be willing to help us, we must be willing to give up and offer enough bargaining chips."
After saying this, the elder fell silent. After pondering for a long time, he spoke again.
"I suggest that we provide two rare spiritual mineral deposits and a medicinal garden planted with high-level herbs."
