Chapter 163: Gift! Xuan Qingzi's Change!

Chapter 163: Gift! Xuan Qingzi's Change!

Southern Region, Wu Family.

Three days had passed in the blink of an eye since the comprehension of the array.

On the morning of the third day, a burst of excited laughter suddenly echoed through the skies above the Wu Family.

"Hahaha, my body has reached the Divine Body Realm!"

Accompanying the laughter, a pavilion suddenly exploded, and Wu Yongzhou was enveloped in endless array patterns, leaping out.

His body surged with overwhelming killing intent, and with a casual wave of his sleeves, countless array patterns shot out, causing the ground within a hundred zhang to shatter instantly.

The formidable offensive power made Wu Yong even more excited.

With Su Changqing's help, the Ten Thousand Dragons Roaring Sky Killing Array had been completely imprinted within his body.

Although he had yet to fully comprehend the essence of the killing array, just a slight understanding was enough to cause his cultivation to surge to the peak of the Divine Body Realm.

As his understanding of the killing array continued to grow in the future, his cultivation and battle prowess would also increase accordingly.

The killing array that Su Changqing had imprinted on him was like a treasure buried within his body, waiting to be continuously unearthed.

"Hahaha, good! My son's divine power has finally reached completion!"

Seeing Wu Yong's Divine Body so powerful, Wu De couldn't help but laugh heartily.

"Uncle Wu."

After emerging from seclusion, Su Changqing turned to Wu De, cupped his hands, and said with a smile, "We've troubled you for so long, it's time for us to leave. Otherwise, we might not make it in time for the opening of the Heavenly Demon Pool."

These past two days, Wu Jiuling had already sent him a message once; he couldn't afford to delay any longer.

"Yes, yes, we should leave right away."

Hearing this, Wu Yong hurriedly nodded, "The Little Immortal Sect only has ten spots, I need to hurry back and secure one first."

Su Changqing didn't have to worry about the spots; he had been specially approved by the Demon Race.

As for the other spots, it was clear that they would have to compete for them, and Wu Yong was now brimming with confidence.

"Oh well, I originally wanted to keep Changqing here to play for a while, but I guess it'll have to wait for another time."

After a moment of contemplation, Wu De hesitated, then took out two storage talismans, giving one to Wu Yong and the other to Su Changqing.

Xuan Qingzi, who was nearby, raised his eyebrows and smiled, not saying much.

On the contrary, Wu Yong frowned and handed the storage talisman in his hand to Xuan Qingzi, then turned to Wu De,

"Where's mine, Dad?"

Wu De was taken aback, then transmitted a scolding, "You little bastard, do you know what's inside it?"

"It's two Ten Thousand Mile Instant Movement Arrays and two array disks capable of inscribing the Heaven-Shielding Formation!"

"You're just giving it to your fellow disciple so easily?"

It wasn't that Wu De was stingy; the items inside the storage talisman were too precious.

The Ten Thousand Mile Instant Movement Array was practically priceless, a life-saving divine artifact.

As for the array disks capable of inscribing the Heaven-Shielding Formation, they were even more invaluable, crafted from top-tier materials.

Wu De knew that the Demon Realm was unsafe, and these items were meant to ensure the safety of Su Changqing and Wu Yong.

Although Su Changqing wasn't a member of the Wu Family, he had greatly benefited them, and thus deserved such a gift.

But as for Xuan Qingzi, who was he to Wu De?

For ordinary trinkets, it would be fine, but for such precious items that even Near-Emperors would covet, Wu Yong had casually given them away?

"Thank you for the kind gesture, Wu Shidi, but I cannot accept it without having earned it. I must decline this gift."

Xuan Qingzi smiled indifferently and handed the storage talisman back to Wu De.

Wu De felt a bit embarrassed, but before he could reach out to take it back, Wu Yong's furious voice echoed in his mind.

"You blind old man, he's the heir of Tama Lingyao Daozong, the Divine Calculator of this generation!"

"Ordinary people would struggle to find a way to offer treasures to such a person!"

"I've already given it away, and you're still planning to take it back? Damn it!"

After interacting with him for so long, Wu Yong had only learned of Xuan Qingzi's identity through private conversations with Uncle Fu.

At that time, he was truly amazed.

To befriend such a figure, their ancestors would be honored.

But who would've thought that just as the smoke started rising, his father would snuff it out.

Wu Yong was furious!

"Damn it! The Divine Calculator of this generation?"

Hearing this, Wu De's scalp went numb, wishing he could slap himself.

So this unassuming Daozhang was actually from Lingxiao Dao Sect?

Heaven help them, if he had known the other party's identity earlier, he would've gone to great lengths to offer three portions!

"Daozhang, please accept it!"

Wu De was almost in tears, quickly handing the storage talisman to Xuan Qingzi,

"It's my fault for not recognizing a great person, please don't blame me!"

It wasn't about his influence; in the Cangyan Continent, only the strong deserved respect.

Wu Yong stood by, feeling awkward, and said, "Daozhang, please accept it. Otherwise, I'm afraid my father won't be able to sleep in peace from now on."

Although Xuan Qingzi's cultivation was not exceptional, his words could potentially bring a thousand years of prosperity to the Wu Family.

This was the power of the Divine Calculator.

"There's no need for the Wu Family Head to go this far."

Xuan Qingzi shook his head and smiled lightly, "In this world, every drink and peck is determined by destiny."

"Just now, the Wu Family Head offered the Storage Talisman, which was the beginning of a connection. But to take it back is to sever that connection."

"The rise and fall of connections are destined, and one cannot force them."

Wu De glanced at Wu Yong, his face showing a hint of anxiety.

Hearing this, Wu Yong's expression turned somber, and he sighed helplessly.

"Daozhang, you're overthinking it."

At this moment, Su Changqing smiled, picked up the Storage Talisman, and said, "If I take it, it's the beginning of a connection. If I put it down, it's the end. What does this have to do with destiny?"

"The rise and fall of connections are for us to decide."

As he spoke, Su Changqing placed the Storage Talisman in front of Xuan Qingzi and smiled lightly, "Taking it is a connection, not taking it is no connection. Following your heart is the Dao Law of Nature."

Su Changqing's words were not meant to plead for the Wu Family, but he sensed that something was amiss with Xuan Qingzi.

Ever since meeting Xuan Qingzi, he had been talking about the law of cause and effect and destiny.

But in Su Changqing's memory, the Dao taught that one should follow their true nature, and the Dao Law of Nature was the ultimate truth.

He wasn't sure if this was the right approach, but he always felt that Xuan Qingzi's divine nature overshadowed his human nature.

"The Dao Law of Nature, follow your true nature."

Hearing these words, Xuan Qingzi was stunned, and in his eyes, countless scenes flashed by.

"My disciple, the Divine Calculator, emphasizes aligning with the Heavenly Dao. Don't go against the will of Heaven."

"Xuan, you should have a reverent heart towards Heaven and Earth. Only then can you act in accordance with the flow."

"Haha, what is the Heavenly Secrets? The opportunities given by Heaven are the true secrets, and you can't force them."

The scenes of the old Daoist's teachings flashed through his mind, freezing on the moment when the young Daotong asked curiously.

"Teacher, how do you become a qualified Divine Calculator?"

The young Daotong's innocent question echoed.

The old Daoist burst into laughter, his aged palm gently patted the young boy's head, gazing into the sky as if joking, "When you overturn everything I've taught you, that's when you'll become a true Divine Calculator."

Boom!

The scene before his eyes shattered, and Xuan Qingzi's expression turned dazed as he looked down at his palms.

The lines on his palms were clear and orderly, like perfectly drawn lines.

But now, those orderly lines seemed to have changed in an instant, becoming more complex and less obvious.

These new palm lines were less rigid and more natural.

"Daozhang, have you made your decision?"

Su Changqing's light laughter echoed in Xuan Qingzi's ears, bringing him back to the present.

He looked at the Storage Talisman before him, remaining silent for a moment before chuckling softly, "Changqing is right, the rise and fall of connections are for us to decide."

As he spoke, he turned to Su Changqing, his bright eyes flashing with gratitude, and he bowed respectfully, "Thank you, Changqing, for teaching me."

Although it was just a few simple words, no one knew how much they had helped Xuan Qingzi.

It wasn't about improving his cultivation but gaining insight into the Dao.

Changqing's words had saved him from a decade of detours.

"This..."

Wu De and Wu Yong, standing nearby, witnessed this scene, and both were stunned.

The renowned Divine Calculator was actually performing the disciple's bow to Su Changqing?

They exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

"If Daozhang finds it useful, that's good enough."

Su Changqing didn't accept the bow, only shaking his head and smiling.

Xuan Qingzi, seeing this, smiled and nodded, once again witnessing the power of the 'Patron's' influence.

Every word and action could have a profoundly positive impact on his future.

"Uncle Wu, farewell."

After this brief interlude, Su Changqing didn't linger, bidding farewell with a respectful bow.

Wu De prepared another Storage Talisman and gave it to Wu Yong, then sent the group off with a beaming smile.

As he watched them leave, Wu De's face lit up with excitement, and he muttered to himself, "It seems we must do our utmost to forge a strong bond with the Su Family."

After witnessing Su Changqing's actions, his status in Wu De's heart had risen immeasurably, even surpassing that of Su Nan.
