Overriding the Heaven

The old deacon didn't directly answer Chu Yan's question, but said: "Roughly twenty years ago, there was an apprentice who was promoted to the outer sect. When I was giving him a routine check up, he scolded me endlessly, and when I was selecting the address, he said to me," Old thing, if you dare pick a place that isn't filled with spirit energy, I'll immediately break one of your legs. "    

    

"This disciple is too rude." Chu Yan frowned, then looked at the old deacon, "And then?"    

    

"And?" The old deacon grinned, "Not only did I pick an area with scarce spiritual energy, but there are also beasts' nests there. Let alone cultivating in peace, it would be hard for him to even rest in peace."    

    

"Did he come to you?" Seeing the old deacon laughing happily, Chu Yan could not help but laugh.    

    

This senior was truly an interesting person.    

    

"Him? Did he dare? It's just words. " The old deacon was smiling, but his eyes flashed with a serious look, "Shattered Star Pavilion's disciple selection not only values talent, but also values the character of the heart. If such a disciple is not polished, in the future, won't he become the shame of my Shattered Star Pavilion?"    

    

"I'm afraid that not only will he not understand the good intentions of the old senior, he will instead bear grudges in his heart." Chu Yan said.    

    

"If he really thinks that way, then I won't be able to save him." The old deacon shook his head, then pointed at the foot of the mountain that he had chosen for Chu Yan just now, "Do you see that protruding piece of rock?"    

    

"Yes." Chu Yan nodded.    

    

That rock had a high sword point, just like a long spike. It stabbed into the ground with its tip pointing towards the sky.    

    

"That place was originally a spirit spring, but about five years ago, it completely dried up." The old deacon said, "The spring water gushed out from the bottom of the rock and formed a spirit spring around two acres in radius. That was the place where the outer sect disciples used to live, and the spirit energy here was the densest. Even if the spirit spring water is now dry, the grass and plants that have been soaked by the spirit spring can still emit spirit energy that far surpasses other areas.    

    

Compared to the other locations that the outer sect disciples resided in, the area around this rock was like a small Blessed Paradise.    

    

And back then Tang Liang had once used the spring water from the spirit spring to wash the sword, so that spirit spring water was also known as the Sword Purification Pool! "    

    

Swish!    

    

Chu Yan's pupils suddenly shrank.    

    

Tang Liang was an elder whose fighting strength was only second to the one in charge of controlling Hua Muyan, and the sword he washed, was naturally the treasure of the Shattered Star Pavilion — — Heavenly Note Star Fragment Sword!    

    

No matter if it was Tang Liang or the Heavenly Note Star Fragment Sword, these two names were both extremely famous in the Yunao Kingdom.    

    

However, the Spirit Spring Water was actually related to the two names at the same time. Chu Yan immediately understood that the old deacon did not lie to him.    

    

But Chu Yan quickly recovered from his excitement.    

    

He had doubts in his heart. It seemed that he wasn't acquainted with this old deacon. Why did the deacon introduce him to that place?    

    

Furthermore, the other party seemed to have reacted differently when he heard his name.    

    

The old deacon didn't seem to see Chu Yan's reaction at all, as he pointed at the light screen: "I will decide for myself and let you choose this place. Before long, you will feel the benefits this area will bring you."    

    

"Alright, then I'll be troubling you, Senior." Chu Yan nodded, "But I —"    

    

Chu Yan had not finished speaking when the old deacon suddenly stretched out his hand and interrupted him.    

    

In the next moment, the old deacon's gaze turned deep as he looked at Chu Yan. After a moment, he whispered: "Yang Wen is my only son."    

    

BOOM!    

    

Hot blood rushed into Chu Yan's brain and in that instant, he understood.    

    

The old deacon in front of him was actually Yang Wen's father!    

    

Seeing Chu Yan's surprised expression, the old deacon laughed, and then said softly: "Thank you."    

    

He was not only grateful that Chu Yan had brought back Yang Wen's identity jade tablet to the Shattered Star Pavilion and hung it on the Starsea Tree, he was also grateful that Chu Yan had inherited Yang Wen's legacy.    

    

The latter was what the old deacon valued the most.    

    

The great hall instantly quieted down, and the flow of time in the great hall seemed to slow down.    

    

After a long while, the old deacon laughed and said, "I almost forgot to tell you another thing. In the last two months, among the disciples, there have been quite a few that have advanced to the outer sect. When they advanced to the outer sect, they all asked me the same question, what do you think it was?"    

    

"Senior, please enlighten me." After knowing that the other party was Deacon Yang's father, Chu Yan's attitude became even more respectful.    

    

The old deacon smiled: "They're all asking me, has Chu Yan been promoted yet?"    

    

"It really is everyone!"    

    

Instantly, a warm feeling flowed through Chu Yan's heart.    

    

He had already guessed that the new disciples mentioned by the old deacon were his companions.    

    

Now that he had received confirmation that they had all levelled up together, Chu Yan was even happier than if it had been a smooth promotion for him.    

    

The old deacon continued speaking at this moment: "Let me think, those people are Li Xiu, Su Jianyuan, Su Jianyuan, Jiang Panmeng, Feng Xin, Feng Xin, and also the two little girls. I have a deep impression of them, one is Shen Qing, right? She probably has such a name, she spoke very little and after seeing me, she asked me a question, is Chu Yan here, and the other one is Su Xinyu, mm, I know, she is a disciple of Master Qin.    

    

Saying this, the old deacon looked at Chu Yan suspiciously, "Is there a conflict between you?"    

    

Chu Yan laughed and shook his head: "Maybe she needs a beating again."    

    

Since he had so many good friends who had already advanced, he might as well forgive this girl who was spouting nonsense.    

    

However, the next time there was a chance, he had to remind her not to speak carelessly like this. Otherwise, if she misunderstood him, how would he face them in the future?    

    

Chu Yan did not explain in detail, so the old deacon naturally could not keep pursuing the matter. At this time, a satisfied look appeared in his eyes: "Shattered Star Pavilion has already been ten years, and no apprentice has been promoted to the outer sect yet, but there are so many here this time, this is truly a matter worthy of celebration."    

    

The old deacon was still sighing emotionally, but in Chu Yan's heart, he could no longer suppress it.    

    

He had not seen them for more than half a year. At this moment, he truly missed his friends.    

    

Seeing Chu Yan's expression, the old deacon had already guessed what he was thinking. He smiled and waved his hand. "Quickly go back.    

    

"Then I'll take my leave, thank you, senior." Chu Yan saluted, and turned to leave.    

    

"Oh, right."    

    

Suddenly, the old deacon's voice came from behind him. Chu Yan thought that the other party had something to say, so he quickly turned around.    

    

A hint of disappointment appeared in the old deacon's eyes, but he still had a smile on his face, "If you have time in the future, come visit me, this old man."    

    

The old deacon's figure, at this moment, in Chu Yan's eyes, revealed a loneliness that he had never felt before.    

    

When he thought about Deacon Yang Wen, Chu Yan's eyes grew hot as he nodded strongly: "Mn! I must come often. "
