Chapter 1401: Chapter 1091: Participating in the Forum on the Way

When Lu Chen was lost in thought, a servant girl’s voice suddenly came from behind, “Young Master, Elder Yue requests an audience!”

Now, the entire Heart Moon Hall had already regarded Lu Chen as the Saint Heir. Even if Lu Chen did not become the Saint Heir in the end, with Lu Chen’s talent, his future status in Yunhua Palace would not be low. Therefore, everyone in Heart Moon Hall treated Lu Chen very well.

Lu Chen opened his eyes and got up from the meditation cushion, “What does Elder Yue want from me?”

The servant girl answered, “This servant does not know, but the annual Dao Discussion Conference is about to begin. Elder Yue probably wants to invite the Young Master to attend the Dao Discussion Conference.”

Hearing this, Lu Chen fell into contemplation. Dao Discussion Conference? Emperor Yanyue has always forbidden me from leaving Heart Moon Hall. Would Emperor Yanyue permit me to attend this Dao Discussion Conference?

If he could participate in the Dao Discussion Conference, he could use this opportunity to cause some trouble.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately said to the servant girl, “Let Elder Yue in.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

A moment later, the servant girl led Yue Zhengze to the bamboo forest where Lu Chen was.

Sensing that Lu Chen had already broken through to the Sixth Layer of the Returning Ruin Realm, Yue Zhengze immediately said, “Congratulations to the Young Master for breaking through the Fifth Layer of the Returning Ruin Realm!”

Lu Chen smiled and asked, “What matter brings Elder Yue here?”

Yue Zhengze countered, “Has the Young Master heard about the Dao Discussion Conference?”

Hearing this, Lu Chen basically confirmed that Yue Zhengze had indeed come for the Dao Discussion Conference. He immediately said, “I just heard about it. Is Elder Yue here to invite me to participate in the Dao Discussion Conference?”

Yue Zhengze said, “Exactly. All outstanding Heavenly Pride from Yunhua Palace will attend the Dao Discussion Conference.”

“As the most talented person in Heart Moon Hall, the Young Master must make an appearance. This is also to lay the foundation for your future position as the Saint Heir.”

Since Lu Chen was to be the Saint Heir, he couldn’t possibly stay in Heart Moon Hall without showing his face. When Lie Hongyun first came to Yunhua Palace, she also defeated many Heavenly Prides. Only then was her talent and strength recognized.

Emperor Yanyue wanted Lu Chen to become the Saint Heir. Naturally, Lu Chen needed to display his talent in front of everyone; otherwise, it would be difficult to convince others.

At this moment, Lu Chen said, “But the Hall Master doesn’t allow me to leave Heart Moon Hall at will.”

Yue Zhengze said, “Young Master, rest assured. The Hall Master has already agreed to let you attend the Dao Discussion Conference. Moreover, the Hall Master will also be attending. You can stay by his side, and no one will dare to harm you.”

Lu Chen’s heart surged with joy. Since Emperor Yanyue had agreed, everything would be much easier.

At the Dao Discussion Conference, there would surely be people who disliked him, especially those from Heavenly Mountain Hall. If he and the people from Heavenly Mountain Hall clashed, he could take the opportunity to kill a few of their disciples “by mistake.” He would certainly be sent to Serenity Tower.

Lu Chen said, “In that case, I will go. When is the Dao Discussion Conference?”

Yue Zhengze replied, “It is on the fifteenth of October, five days from now.”

Lu Chen continued, “What do I need to prepare?”

Yue Zhengze said, “Young Master, you need not prepare anything. Just go to the Dao Discussion Conference when the time comes.”

Lu Chen said, “Alright, I understand.”

At this point, Lu Chen suddenly thought of something and then asked, “That Su Hongxuan from Heavenly Mountain Hall should also be attending, right?”

Hearing Lu Chen mention Su Hongxuan, Yue Zhengze was momentarily taken aback, then said, “Naturally.”

Yue Zhengze thought Lu Chen was concerned that Su Hongxuan might target him, so he reassured him, “Young Master, don’t worry. You are just going to make an appearance and don’t need to perform personally.”

“Su Hongxuan is already a Saint Cultivator. He can’t possibly challenge you proactively.”

Lu Chen smiled faintly and then said, “I was just asking casually.”

“Elder Yue, anything else?”

Yue Zhengze said, “No, I won’t disturb the Young Master’s cultivation any longer.”

As his words fell, Yue Zhengze turned and left the bamboo forest.

A few days later.

At Yunhua Palace, the plaza of the main hall.

Today, outstanding disciples from various halls had gathered. The entire main hall was bustling. Although the Palace Master was currently in seclusion, the Dao Discussion Conference, held every hundred years, would not be postponed because of it.

At this moment, a commotion came from the crowd.

“It’s the people from Heart Moon Hall! The people from Heart Moon Hall have arrived!”

“I heard the Hall Master of Yanyue Hall brought back a disciple with terrifying talent.”

“I heard too. It’s said that this person broke through to the Fifth Layer of the Returning Ruin Realm at the age of sixteen.”

“Really? Breaking through to the Fifth Layer of the Returning Ruin Realm at sixteen? Even the former Saintess didn’t have such talent!”

“Could it be an incarnation of some Quasi-Emperor?”

“It’s true. Our Hall Master personally went to Heart Moon Hall to verify. His bone age is only sixteen, and his soul is complete. It’s not an incarnation.”

“Could he be the reincarnation of some great power?”

“That’s hard to say. I feel he’s the reincarnation of a Great Emperor; otherwise, how could he break through to the Returning Ruin Realm at sixteen?”

…

Lu Chen followed behind Yue Zhengze, walking towards the high platform in the distance.

This Dao Discussion Conference had ten thousand seats, and core disciples like Lu Chen had their exclusive seats. When Lu Chen walked across the plaza, he could feel everyone’s eyes on him, but he didn’t mind.

With such high attention, if he made any mistakes later, Emperor Yanyue couldn’t protect him openly.

Now, he was more concerned that if he made a mistake, Emperor Yanyue might protect him because of his talent, causing his plan to fail.

Soon, Lu Chen arrived at his seat. He sat in the middle of the core disciples of Heart Moon Hall, showcasing his current high status in Heart Moon Hall.

Sitting in his seat, Lu Chen glanced at the area where Heavenly Mountain Hall was. At this moment, he found a hostile gaze fixed on him.

The person was dressed in a white robe, with a sullen expression. Although his appearance had a hint of handsomeness, he gave off a very sinister feeling.

Lu Chen immediately used the system to identify him.

[Name: Su Hongxuan]

[Identity: Chief Senior Disciple of Heavenly Mountain Hall, son of Xuanming Emperor.]

[Strength: Saint Realm First Layer]

[Loyalty: 0]

Seeing the system information, the corners of Lu Chen’s mouth lifted slightly, and he gave Su Hongxuan a provocative smile.

At this moment, Su Hongxuan saw Lu Chen smiling at him, and his brows furrowed even deeper. As the chief senior disciple of Heavenly Mountain Hall, when had he ever been provoked like this?

Even though he wasn’t the Saint Heir yet, due to his talent, few in Yunhua Palace dared to provoke him.

However, Su Hongxuan quickly calmed down. He also flashed a smile, though his smile contained a hint of killing intent.

Let Lu Chen be arrogant for a while longer; soon, he would no longer be able to be arrogant.

Su Hongxuan knew Emperor Yanyue protected Lu Chen like a treasure, but at the Dao Discussion Conference, if Lu Chen only sat on the high platform without showing any performance, he wouldn’t gain the recognition of other hall’s disciples.
