"Don't worry. Since I'm back, I can naturally protect Little Wang Li." I sighed and comforted Wang Kun's wife gently.
"I know."
Probably out of trust in me, Wang Kun's wife wiped her tears and stopped crying. "Mr. Little Zhou, I'll cook for you."
I watched as Wang Kun's wife wiped her tears and walked into the kitchen. I signaled the fatty with my eyes and brought him to the second floor.
I pushed the door open and saw Zhang Kanwen sitting on the bed. Seeing the fatty and I enter, Zhang Kanwen slowly opened his eyes and looked at me in surprise and joy. "Zhou Yi, you've advanced to Celestial Master?"
"Of course."
I smiled at him and sat on the sofa opposite him. "Not only that, I also brought back Seven Star Mugwort."
A hint of joy appeared on Zhang Kanwen's face, but it was only for a moment. He immediately frowned and smiled bitterly. "I'm afraid I found it a little too late. It's too late."
"Brother Zhang, is it Celestial Master Sect?"
"You know about it?" Zhang Kanwen raised his eyebrows. He obviously didn't expect me to know about this.
I nodded and briefly explained what Wang Kun's wife had told me to verify with Zhang Kanwen.
"It is indeed Celestial Master Sect."
Zhang Kanwen sighed and his eyes were filled with uneasiness. "Last time, only a few Celestial Master at the peak of the late stage came. I could still deal with them, but next time, I might not be able to."
"Brother Zhang, there's still me." I chuckled and said to Zhang Kanwen.
"You?"
Zhang Kanwen obviously wasn't optimistic. "You just advanced to Celestial Master. Maybe we can deal with two or three, but there's nothing we can do if there are more."
"You're underestimating me too much."
I thought for a moment before saying slowly, "If it's an ordinary Celestial Master, I can probably deal with three to five at the same time, but the premise is that there's no Yang God Celestial Master."
"How can there be no Yang God Celestial Master in Celestial Master Sect?" Zhang Kanwen was stunned at first, then he shook his head with a bitter smile.
"There definitely is, but they might not necessarily come."
I shook my head and said, "They only think that you're the only one who barely reached Celestial Master, so they definitely won't send Yang God Celestial Master. I say, at most, they'll send a few ordinary Celestial Masters."
Zhang Kanwen thought about it and agreed with me. However, he still had some doubts. "What about the next time?"
"Then we'll talk about it next time." After cultivating for so many years and experiencing so many dangers, I had long since trained to be indifferent.
Then, I smiled and stood up. I put the seven-star mugwort on the table. "Brother Zhang, no matter what, you should treat Wang Li first. I'm here. Don't worry."
Zhang Kanwen opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, it turned into a long sigh and he shut his mouth.
"Besides, we don't have to sacrifice anyone. At worst, we can just retreat together and come back to get back at them in the future."
I saw the tense atmosphere, so I smiled and tried to ease the tension. "Brother Zhang, you should take care of your wounds first. The people from the Heavenly Master Sect won't come tonight. We should rest well tonight."
The fatty and I got up and left the room, closing the door behind us. The fatty stared at me and asked softly, "How do you plan to deal with the Celestial Master Yang Shen of the Celestial Master Sect?"
"What else can I do? I'll just deal with it when it comes. If I can't stop them, I'll just run away." I pouted my lips and walked forward.
The Celestial Master Sect of Mount Longhu was the leader of the Daoist sects in the world of Metaphysics for two thousand years. They controlled the world, so there should be at least a dozen Celestial Masters there, right?
Not to mention the mysterious Celestial Master Zhang. Running away might be a good idea. If I really forced them to gang up on me, it would be really troublesome.
"Don't think too much. Rest well tonight and adjust your condition. At least, we can get through this."
Seeing that the fatty was a little nervous, I comforted him. "Let's treat Wang Li here first. After that, it will be more convenient for us to escape or fight the enemy."
The fatty nodded and touched the shining wall of the Monster Refining Pot. He looked disgusted as if he was touching his wife. He sighed and walked back to the room. I also went back to the room and lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
I had finally become a Celestial Master. This was the realm that I had been yearning for.
In the eyes of ordinary cultivators, Celestial Master was the pinnacle of cultivation, an existence like an immortal. I used to be the same. I dreamed of becoming a Celestial Master. I always felt that as long as I became a Celestial Master, I would wake up smiling even in my dreams.
But now, I knew that there was a Yang God Celestial Master above the Celestial Master. There were also the two mysterious realms of Yang God Ascension and Cloud Ascension. To be honest, my yearning for a Celestial Master had faded a lot and I was no longer so obsessed with it.
What's more, my Celestial Master seal had the words Natural Born Saint. I cultivated both witchcraft and cultivation. Although my talent wasn't unique, it was at least one in ten thousand.
The Cloud Ascension realm wasn't something I didn't dare to imagine.
After the Cloud Ascension, I would be an immortal, right?
The Heaven's Path that had once stood between me and Tao Wu in the Fire God Temple should at least be in this realm. If I could reach this realm, it would be natural for me to break free from the Heaven's Path.
After thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't figure it out. At this moment, my mind was a mess and I was faintly tired.
Although I didn't need to rely on sleep to replenish my energy after becoming a Celestial Master, the journey was tiring and I really wanted to have a good sleep.
Who cares about the Celestial Master Sect? I'll think about it tomorrow.
As I thought about it, I gradually closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
The night passed uneventfully. The next morning, when I woke up and went downstairs, the fatty and Zhang Kanwen were already sitting around the table. When they saw me coming down, they both stared at me.
"What are you guys doing so early in the morning?" I had goosebumps as they stared at me. I smiled awkwardly and walked to the table.
"Take a look. Is there anything wrong with this thing?"
The fatty wasn't as carefree as he usually was. He pointed at the table and said to me with a solemn expression.
I looked in the direction of his finger. There was a small bronze pot on the table. It was the Monster Refining Pot.
"Isn't this your Monster Refining Pot?" I frowned and looked at the fatty. "What's wrong with it?"
"Take a closer look."
"Don't use your connections." I let out a sigh and was confused. "I can't tell. What's wrong?"
"The Monster Refining Pot is moving."
The fatty's eyes were a bit weird. He pointed at the Demon Purification Pot and closed his mouth after saying that.
"It's moving?" I was bewildered and couldn't react in time. However, I still turned to look at the Monster Refining Pot.
Indeed, with the fatty's reminder, I soon found something strange. The Monster Refining Pot was moving on its own!
Normally, no matter how magical the Monster Refining Pot was, it was just an inanimate object. But now, it was shivering slightly. Although it was hard to notice, it was really shivering.
What's going on?
I frowned. I didn't know why, but I suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Have you checked inside the Monster Refining Pot?"
"No." The fatty shook his head.
"It's waiting for you. Old Zhang is still injured. If you come and protect him, I'll feel more at ease."
I nodded, but I was still suspicious. The Monster Refining Pot was the fatty's item, so it shouldn't have made such a mistake. However, it was Chiyou's relic. Even if it wasn't as good as the Xuanyuan Sword, it was still one of our trump cards. I had to check it carefully.
"Go in and see. Brother Zhang and I will protect you outside." Then, I sat cross-legged, releasing my Dao and Shaman energy to protect me.
"Okay."
The fatty was decisive. Seeing my posture, he didn't say anything and disappeared. I knew he had entered the space inside the Monster Refining Gourd.
I sat there and released my Dao and Shaman energy to surround the Monster Refining Pot. At the same time, I continued to check. The Monster Refining Pot didn't look strange. It was just shivering slightly. If I didn't know better, I would have thought that it was a fake item bought from the antique market and couldn't stand steadily on the table.
After one minute, the fatty still hadn't come out. I was a little anxious. I glanced at Zhang Kanwen and saw that he was also anxious.
If it was a small problem, one minute was enough for the fatty to solve it.
Even if he couldn't see anything wrong, he wouldn't just come out. If he still hadn't come out, it meant that something had happened!
