Let Them Bloom and Sprout, For I Alone Shall Stand Out

After Gu Changge’s defeat, Chu Kuangren suddenly requested permission from Honorable Xuan Qi to venture out of the sect for his training. After all, in such a great environment with flowing rivers and gigantic mountains, it would be a waste if he were to stay within the Black Heaven sect all the time, that would be boring indeed.

Besides that, he was also cultivating his Nascent Soul level abilities to add a few tricks up his sleeve. As he was now able to protect himself, it was time he went out for an adventure.

“A flower kept within the warmth of a greenhouse will never stand to bear the harshness of the storms outside. Kuangren, it’s not that I forbid you to train yourself outside, but I’ll need you to wait another two days within the Black Heaven sect, as I’ll assign you a personal bodyguard.” The Honorable Xuan Qi said.

For a Sky-Pride of an orthodoxy setting out on a journey, a personal protector will usually be assigned to them to ensure their safety.

Especially so for a Sky-Pride like Chu Kuangren, further consideration had to be taken.

“Alright.” Chu Kuangren nodded slightly.

Even he was curious as to who would be assigned to him as a bodyguard.

Black Heaven Sect, behind the Mountain.

A few thatched houses laid within the lush green bamboo forest.

Not many, even within Black Heaven Sect, knew of these houses, yet within them lay the strongest foundation and the backbone of the whole Sect!

Something creaked.

One of the doors of the thatched houses opened.

Out came an elderly man in a white robe.

“Seventh Forefather, are you sure about doing this?”

An elderly voice can be heard from one of the other thatched houses.

The white-robed elder gently smiled. “At this age, I’m like a candle in the wind, and my days are numbered, so I’m going on a trip to the Earthly realm while I still have some use left.”

“If you were to stay back and recuperate, you’ll live for another few hundred years at least. Yet if you are in the Earthly realm, you might meet a strong foe and exhaust your spiritual power. If that happens I fear you might not last even the next few years.” The voice in the thatched house warned.

“Yes, I’m well aware of that. But the young one’s disciple truly is a remarkable one. I wish to protect him by walking in the Earthly realm once more.”

The Seventh Forefather replied with a smile.

A silence fell on the other thatched houses.

After a while, a voice came from one of the houses, “If that’s the case, then so be it. Go then, and complete your final journey.”

“Thank you, Second Forefather for granting this request.”

The Seventh Forefather gently cupped the palm of his hands, turned around, and proceeded to walk towards the exit of the bamboo forest.

A gentle breeze blew, and bamboo leaves whistled. On that day, a Supreme elder re-entered the Earthly Realm for the sake of his future disciple.

Black Heaven Sect, at the Mountain Gate.

A crowd of disciples had gathered there, they were looking at the figure at the gate who was wearing a white robe with a look of reluctance.
