Chapter 367 - 351: Departure

Chapter 367: Chapter 351: Departure

"What? Junior Brother, you want to leave the Sect and go to the Desert Divine Palace?"

Inside the Canglan Sect’s Floating Celestial Palace, the Sect Leader, two Supreme Elders, and all the Nascent Soul True Monarchs were present.

Hearing Zhang Chi’s words, they were all utterly shocked.

They had all gathered because Zhang Chi had sent a message, telling them he had something important to discuss.

Zhang Chi’s current status in the Sect was extremely high; he was even hailed as the number one Cultivator of Canglan Oasis.

Even the two Supreme Elders had no objection to this.

That was why when Zhang Chi said he had something to discuss, the Nascent Soul True Monarchs all took it very seriously.

They never dreamed, however, that the important matter Zhang Chi wanted to discuss was his departure.

"That’s right. I’ve already broken through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage. It’s time for me to leave and seek greater opportunities."

Zhang Chi nodded slightly.

BOOM!

At the same time, his body gave a slight tremble, and he instantly unleashed the powerful pressure and Spiritual Power fluctuations of a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator.

Of course, he was still holding back a great deal.

After all, reaching the Nascent Soul Late Stage in just two hundred years would be far too shocking.

"Junior Brother, you broke through?"

"Heavens, your cultivation is just too fast!"

"No, wait. We should be calling you Senior Brother now!"

But even so, the crowd of Nascent Soul True Monarchs was startled, and the two Supreme Elders were no exception.

Clearly, in the eyes of these Nascent Soul True Monarchs from a mid-sized Oasis, breaking through in two hundred years already made him a monstrous prodigy.

At the same time, they finally began to understand why Zhang Chi had chosen to leave Canglan Oasis.

For Zhang Chi was a True Dragon, and Canglan Oasis was, at best, a small pond—it truly could no longer contain him.

In their eyes, if Zhang Chi were to stay, he would likely never reach the Nascent Soul Late Stage. But if he went to the Desert Divine Palace, he would have a much greater chance of breaking through.

Of course, he might also perish in the conflicts there.

In any case, they no longer had any reason to stop Zhang Chi.

They swallowed the words of persuasion they had prepared.

"Alright. You’re an even greater genius than we expected. A genius like you truly should go to the Desert Divine Palace."

"However, the Canglan Sect will always be your home. You can come back and visit anytime. We will keep your residence for you and maintain your privileges. What do you say?"

Senior Brother Mei, one of the two Supreme Elders, asked, both pleased and somewhat nervous.

Clearly, they did not want to sever ties with Zhang Chi.

As long as Zhang Chi did not fall, even if he went to the Desert Divine Palace, the Canglan Sect could still benefit from his protection.

Even the Beichen Sect wouldn’t dare to make a move against the Canglan Sect then.

"That’s right. And we will give you, Junior Brother, the status and privileges of a Supreme Elder. Are you willing, Junior Brother?" the other Supreme Elder, Senior Brother Lu, added.

The other Nascent Soul True Monarchs also looked at Zhang Chi expectantly, all clearly hoping he would agree.

"The Sect has treated me generously, so of course I’m willing. But when I join the Desert Divine Palace, I will surely make many enemies. It’s very likely the Canglan Sect will be dragged into my troubles then."

"So, are you sure you want to do this?"

Zhang Chi said with a faint smile.

’In truth, I don’t owe the Canglan Sect anything. After all, I’ve always completed the tasks the Canglan Sect assigned me over the years.’

’I even helped the Canglan Sect immensely during the last Beast Tide.’

’Although I haven’t participated in any Sect affairs these past years, the Canglan Sect’s reputation has soared because of my presence.’

’Every year, a large number of Immortal Seeds and Loose Cultivators join the Canglan Sect.’

’Many Immortal Seeds and Loose Cultivators even come from other Oases, traveling thousands of miles.’

’The Canglan Sect has thrived as a result.’

’But the Canglan Sect’s upper echelon has indeed treated me very well. The disciples also respect and adore me, all seeing me as a role model.’

’My relationship with the Canglan City Lord, the Sect Leader, and the two Supreme Elders has also always been good, which is why I’m agreeing to this.’

’It could be said that compared to my time back at the Cangwu Sect, these two hundred years at the Canglan Sect have been much more peaceful.’

’If it weren’t for the fact that I’m already at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, that the Canglan Sect no longer has a Spiritual Vein that can support my Cultivation, and that I want to make a trip back to the Demon Abyss, I wouldn’t have chosen to leave at all.’

’It is precisely because I am fond of the Canglan Sect that I made a special trip to see them before leaving, instead of just departing without a word.’

——

"Haha, of course we’re sure."

"Exactly! Since we’ll be enjoying your protection, Junior Brother, it’s only natural that we shoulder a little risk!"

Hearing this, the two Supreme Elders both laughed heartily, not concerned in the slightest.

The other Nascent Soul True Monarchs were the same.

Of course, this was only because they didn’t know that the person before them was the very same Zhang Chi who had been wanted by the Hundred Flowers Palace all those years ago. Otherwise, they certainly wouldn’t be so relaxed.

Zhang Chi, however, had no intention of deliberately mentioning this to frighten his fellow sect members.

’For one, there’s no need.’

’For another, it’s impossible for the Hundred Flowers Palace to know my identity, and besides, I’m no longer afraid of them.’

’After all, even if the Hundred Flowers Palace is a top-tier Sect, the most they have is a Nascent Soul Peak Cultivator and a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure.’

’The two combined might be able to threaten me, but it would be very difficult to kill me. And if I wanted to run, they wouldn’t be able to stop me at all.’

"Then it’s settled."

Zhang Chi nodded slightly, and with that, the matter was settled.

Afterward, the Canglan Sect’s upper echelon did not delay. They quickly held a ceremony for Zhang Chi, using the opportunity to spread the news that he had broken through in his Cultivation and become a new Supreme Elder.

Unfortunately, time was short, so they couldn’t invite many guests.

But even so, the news still shocked the surrounding Oases. Even though the major Immortal Cultivation Influences didn’t have time to attend, they all sent messages to offer their congratulations.
