After listening to Zheng Ji's tale, Shi Juntian, Wei Ji, Liu Ruoshui, Wan Hun, and the others all had their own thoughts. They pondered for several days before finally coming together and approaching Chu Xuan.
It was Zheng Ji, Shi Juntian, and Wan Hun.
"Reporting to the Sect Master, the three of us intend to respond to the sect's summons and join the war," Zheng Ji declared.
There was no need for Zheng Ji to elaborate. He had reaped great rewards last time, and it was only natural that he would want to join again.
Shi Juntian and Wan Hun, clearly moved by Zheng Ji's gains, were eager to share in the spoils as well.
Chu Xuan said little, simply nodding. "You have my permission."
"Thank you, Sect Master!" the three of them respectfully bowed.
As they turned to leave, Chu Xuan watched their retreating figures with a calm expression. If the Reincarnation Divine Sect truly reached the point of collapse, their participation would undoubtedly bring great rewards.
However, Chu Xuan had no intention of involving himself. Even when the enemy was cornered, their desperate struggle might still inflict heavy damage on themselves. If these three went and gained much, it would be a good thing. But there was also the fear that once they departed, none would return.
A year passed.
Zheng Ji and the others had not returned, but above the Mystic Azure Sect, a dark cloud of tribulation began to form.
"Hmm? It looks like a Nascent Soul tribulation. Who is attempting to break through to Nascent Soul?"
Chu Xuan, from a great distance, saw the swirling dark clouds and raised an eyebrow.
After Mystic Azure Sect had taken over the Feather Transformation Heaven Palace, many cultivators had come to join. Among them were quite a few Golden Core late-stage cultivators. Three of them were at the ninth layer of Golden Core.
Chu Xuan could not tell who was about to attempt the Nascent Soul breakthrough.
"Speaking of which, Wan Wuying seems to be preparing for his Nascent Soul breakthrough as well, doesn't he?"
Chu Xuan mused.
Not long ago, Wan Wuying had reached the ninth layer of Golden Core and had since secluded himself to adjust his state of mind. It was possible that this tribulation cloud had been drawn by Wan Wuying himself.
Not only Chu Xuan, but other cultivators of the sect also noticed the towering tribulation clouds.
Shang Xingchen, Wei Ji, Liu Ruoshui, and others appeared one after another beside Chu Xuan.
Wei Ji smiled. "Someone is attempting the Nascent Soul breakthrough. Not bad, not bad. It seems Mystic Azure Sect may soon gain another Nascent Soul cultivator."
Liu Ruoshui gazed at the tribulation clouds with a frown. "These clouds are as black as ink, and the thunder is brewing. Something doesn't feel right..."
Shang Xingchen spoke in a calm tone, "The heavier the bloodshed, the darker the tribulation cloud."
Chu Xuan waved his hand, and a complete tea set appeared on the stone table.
"Let us drink tea while we watch."

The tribulation clouds in the sky grew darker and heavier. Finally, the first thunderclap struck.
Boom!
The thunder rumbled down, illuminating an old figure.
Chu Xuan and the others looked up, their gazes immediately locking onto the figure.
It was Wan Wuying.
"It really is him," Chu Xuan mused inwardly.
Shang Xingchen glanced at Chu Xuan but said nothing. He knew that Wan Wuying had once been Chu Xuan's master.
In the past, Shang Xingchen had resorted to threats and temptations, hoping to extract details about Chu Xuan's past. However, Wan Wuying had been resolute, refusing to reveal a single word.
Unable to act against him, Shang Xingchen had no choice but to let Wan Wuying go.
"Let us see if he can survive the tribulation," Shang Xingchen said calmly.
