Dao Kun patted Tan Yun's shoulder, smiling kindly as he said, “Tan Yun, I believe that one day you will soar to great heights; you are not a creature of the pond.”
Tan Yun bowed slightly and replied, “Supreme Saint Elder, you flatter me. I am truly honored.”
“Hahahaha, you seem very composed!” Dao Kun exclaimed.
Tan Yun wrinkled his nose but did not speak. At that moment, Dao Kun's seventh disciple, Li Hong, suddenly thought of something and blurted out, “Master, in ninety thousand years, there will be a competition among the disciples of the three major star domains. As long as Tan Yun trains hard within these ninety thousand years, by then, with his ability to challenge others across levels, he can not only take first place among the Inner Sect disciples of the three major star domains but also among the elite disciples!”
“If that’s the case, our Four Arts Star Domain disciples can go to the Ancient Fire Prison to seek fire seeds, which are extremely important for us Four Arts disciples…”
As Li Hong spoke, he seemed to remember something, and the excitement on his face vanished, turning into despair.
The reason for his drastic change was that he knew that in a hundred years, the Four Arts Star Domain would no longer exist, and they would never reach ninety thousand years.
While Li Hong's expression was gloomy, Tan Yun's body trembled, and a look of longing flashed in his eyes as he asked Xin Bingshuan, “Senior Saintess, are there many fire seeds in the Ancient Fire Prison?”
“Yes, indeed there are many, but…” Xin Bingshuan sighed, “Unfortunately, there won't be any opportunity.”
Hearing Xin Bingshuan's words, Dao Kun's murky eyes also reflected a deep sense of unwillingness. Tan Yun could not help but clench his fists, thinking: “No matter if the Four Arts Star Domain exists a hundred years later or not, I must find a way to enter the Ancient Fire Prison in ninety thousand years to seek ice and fire seeds, to devour them with the primordial ice flame and primordial flame, and increase their power!”
As Tan Yun pondered, Dao Kun spoke again, “Alright, let’s not bring up these unpleasant matters.”
“Tonghai, go immediately to the elite Secret Realm and execute Mi Qin!”
Xi Tonghai respectfully replied, “Disciple obeys, I take my leave!”
“Wait.” At this moment, Tan Yun finally spoke up.
“Tan Yun, do you want to come with me?” Xi Tonghai smiled, “Come on, I’ll take you.”
“Senior, that’s not what I meant.” After Tan Yun finished speaking, he turned to Dao Kun and bowed, saying, “Supreme Saint Elder, may I ask you to pretend you don’t know about this?”
“I wish to take revenge on my enemies in the future. Please give me a chance.”
Dao Kun was quite surprised, “Are you serious?”
“Replying to the Supreme Saint Elder, I am serious.” Tan Yun nodded firmly.
“Alright then, I look forward to your future performance.” Dao Kun said, “In a hundred years, I do not plan to refine pills or artifacts.”
“And it’s not safe for you to stay in the Wuji Taoist Temple…” As Dao Kun spoke, he looked at the nine disciples and said, “How about this: whoever among you temporarily lacks help can let Tan Yun assist you.”
“In this way, he will be with one of you, and I won’t worry about him being plotted against again.”
Upon hearing this, Xi Tonghai said, “Master, I don't lack manpower.”
“Neither do I,” Miao Qingqing added.
The other disciples also said the same.
At this moment, Xin Bingshuan spoke up, “Tan Yun, come with me to the Sacred Pool Divine Mountain.”
“Understood, Senior.” As Tan Yun responded, he suddenly noticed that everyone, including Dao Kun, had a strange expression.
“What’s with their expressions?” Tan Yun wondered, while Miao Qingqing looked at Xin Bingshuan and teased, “Oh my, Junior Sister Nine, did the sun rise from the west? You actually agreed to let a man stay long-term at your Sacred Pool Divine Mountain?”
“You weren't like this before!”
