When Chen Yun heard Yin Yue mention this, his face suddenly turned gloomy.

"But the two flying swords have fallen into the hands of the ancient demon. Although the master's cultivation has greatly increased, if the ancient demon is still alive, I am afraid that there is still no guarantee of victory in a battle with it."

Yin Yue said with some concern.

"You don't need to remind me of this. I have my own thoughts."

"I will never act rashly before I am fully confident. After I open the Void Heaven Cauldron or refine a replica of the Seven Flame Fan, I will go and look for this demon myself."

Chen Yun's eyes flickered several times, and he sat back in the main seat and spoke seriously.

"Young man Chen, how could you forget the puppet I carefully developed?"

"That ancient demon is indeed extremely powerful, but as long as you can collect all the necessary materials and refine this puppet."

"I can't say we are certain to win the fight, but we should have no problem protecting ourselves."

The voice of Dayan God suddenly came from Chen Yun's consciousness, and he seemed quite dissatisfied because Chen Yun did not mention his puppet.

The corners of Chen Yun's mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.

"As a puppet that you have spent so much effort to develop, its extraordinary features are undoubtedly evident."

"However, since the refining materials are extremely precious, this indicates that the puppet you refined must have great power."

"But unfortunately, you have always kept your mouth shut about the puppet's refining techniques and its performance effects. How can I have enough confidence in it?"

"Humph! You don't need to use provocation."

"Until you have gathered all the necessary materials, I will never reveal any information about the puppet."

"I can only tell you that if this puppet is successfully refined, its power may even surpass my peak state back then. You should have some understanding of this."

Lord Dayan replied proudly.

"Can it surpass the peak state of the predecessors?" This time, Chen Yun was really stunned, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Do you doubt this?" The tone of Lord Dayan suddenly turned cold, and he seemed a little dissatisfied.

"It's not a question of doubt or not! After all, this kind of puppet was just developed by our predecessors."

"As for what kind of power it will have after it is refined, I am afraid even you yourself can only speculate."

Chen Yun's expression returned to calm and he responded calmly.

"Haha! What you said makes a lot of sense."

"However, with my wisdom, how could I misjudge the power of the puppet I developed? You can rest assured about this!"

The mood of Lord Dayan changed so quickly that it was astonishing, and in the blink of an eye he burst into laughter.

Chen Yun smiled slightly, stopped entangled with this person, stood up and walked out of the secret room.

Although he will be attending the so-called viewing ceremony tomorrow, he decided to spend more time on it in order to refine the last wisp of dry blue ice flame as soon as possible.

However, after refining the Qianlan Ice Flame, he obviously still needed to invest a lot of energy to refine the newly acquired materials into two ancient puppets above the Nascent Soul level.

Thinking of this, he gently stroked the brand new storage bag around his waist.

Previously in the Demon Valley, he had witnessed with his own eyes the evil ghost puppet controlled by Master Tianjing.

Although he cannot hold out for too long against the ancient demon, his strength should not be underestimated and is comparable to that of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

With this thought in mind, Chen Yun stepped into the secret room.

The next morning, Chen Yun and Senior Brother Cheng agreed to go together and head straight to Baiqiaoyuan.

Since the three families shared a mountain range, they soon arrived at the other side of the Yunmeng Mountains, where the Baiqiao Academy's sect was located.

Looking back, Chen Yun once came here as a low-level disciple to participate in the sword test conference jointly held by the three sects. Thinking back now, it really makes people laugh.

When Chen Yun and the other two just approached the Luoyun Sect's forbidden formation, three Jindan stage practitioners had been waiting there for a long time.

When they saw Chen Yun and the other two flying in the air, the elder who was leading them immediately waved his colorful clothes.

He quickly appeared in front of Chen Yun and the other two, then bowed deeply and said:
"Greetings to the three seniors. I am entrusted by the senior uncles to wait for your arrival."

The other two middle-aged monks who followed closely behind also bowed and saluted.

"The three young men don't need to be too restrained. Just lead the way."

Senior Brother Cheng smiled calmly and spoke in a calm tone.

Chen Yun's gaze lingered on the elder's face for a moment, and a half-smile appeared on his face.

Coincidentally, this elder was the old man named Fu who presided over the sword-testing meeting that day.

With the extraordinary memory of a cultivator, there was no way he would not recognize himself at this moment, but there was no strange expression on his face.

From this we can see that although his cultivation is still insufficient, his scheming is extraordinary.

After successfully passing through the formation constructed by the powerful restriction, Chen Yun and others arrived at the mysterious place above Baiqiaoyuan.

This time, they not only abandoned the central square surrounded by mountains that they had previously chosen as their base.

They were even led directly to a magnificent platform built against the mountain wall.

In the center of this platform stands a five-story building that is over a hundred feet high. At first glance, it looks like a solid giant stone tower.

What is surprising is that behind this magnificent building, facing the endless mountain wall, there are countless holes of various sizes densely distributed.

Disciples from all walks of life in Baiqiao Academy often come in and out here, making it like a nest of lice and fleas.

However, the old man surnamed Fu did not lead everyone to the castle-like attic. Instead, he took them straight to the top of the mountain wall.

"Deep at the bottom of this mountain lies an extremely precious Earth Lung Fire Pool."

"This fire pool is like a catalyst in the secret recipe for refining equipment. It can significantly improve the efficiency of refining equipment."

"And for cultivators who practice fire-attributed techniques, it is like finding a treasure, with many unexpected benefits."

"Therefore, many of Baiqiaoyuan's weapon refining houses and training sites are located on this mountain wall."

"In addition, there are even many high-ranking disciples who have built their caves inside the mountain."

At this moment, Senior Brother Cheng seemed to know everything about Baiqiao Academy very well, and he told Chen Yun about it in a lighthearted manner during the flight.

After hearing these words, Chen Yun's heart was moved and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

After a short while, they slowly stopped in front of a huge, lonely and deserted cave entrance that towered into the clouds.

This is obviously not an area that ordinary low-level disciples can set foot in, compared to the bustling scene of the crowd below.

There were only two haggard old men standing here quietly, waiting for their arrival.

"Fellow Daoist Cheng, Fellow Daoist Lu! I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"I was too busy to go out and greet you. I hope you two fellow Daoists won't blame me. This must be Fellow Daoist Chen."

"As expected, he is still very young and has a bright future. Hey! Fellow Daoist Chen has already successfully advanced to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul?" When Chen Yun and others just landed at the entrance of the cave, one of them was an old man with disheveled hair and wrinkles all over his face.

He smiled and greeted Senior Brother Cheng and Lu Luo beside him, while looking at Chen Yun with a little curiosity.

Another old man next to him, with a gray face and deep eyes, also showed an expression of surprise.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Brother Feng. Junior Brother Chen has indeed just been promoted to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul."

"If you encounter any problems during your cultivation in the future, please give me some advice."

Senior Brother Cheng smiled slightly and responded in a friendly manner.

"We want you to teach us? Is Brother Cheng joking with us?"

The two elders of Baiqiao Academy finally recovered from their shock. After looking at each other, they couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook their heads. The old man named Feng couldn't help but respond.

"My two Taoist friends, there is no need to be too modest. Although Chen's cultivation speed is relatively fast, his foundation is still weak. In the future, I will need your guidance and advice on the road of cultivation."

Chen Yun treated people with courtesy and spoke sincerely, without any pride or complacency.

Such humble and polite behavior made the two Nascent Soul cultivators opposite him have a very good impression of him.

So, they invited Chen Yun and others to go into the cave for a detailed discussion, while the old man surnamed Fu and others said goodbye and left first.

"Originally, Senior Brother Liehuo had planned to come in person to greet all of you fellow Taoists, but unfortunately he is currently performing the final ceremony of recognizing the master for the newly refined magic weapon and cannot spare the time. I hope the three fellow Taoists will understand."

Another old man explained.

"Fellow Daoist Ding, you are too polite! Junior Brother Lu and I have known the three Daoists for a long time. Why should we be so polite?"

"I just don't know what kind of magic weapon it is that requires such a solemn ceremony to recognize its master."

"Could you two Taoist friends reveal a few things in advance?"

The grand ceremony will soon hold a solemn and highly anticipated ceremony of recognizing the master. Can the two fellow Taoists tell me a thing or two to satisfy my curiosity? "

On the way, Lu Luo asked with deep doubts.

"Haha, that's not some rare treasure. It's just a Qiankun Tower that my fellow apprentices and I spent three months carefully building."

The old man surnamed Ding answered lightly, but a hint of pride could be seen between his brows.

"Qiankun Tower? It's actually such a magical object! This is one of the three most important treasures of Baiqiao Academy."

"As far as I know, no one in your academy has been able to refine a new treasure for nearly a thousand years."

Senior Brother Cheng's smiling face suddenly froze, and he said in surprise.

"Therefore, we have decided to recognize the owner of this treasure this time, and we specially invite all Taoist friends to witness this moment together."

"However, for our Baiqiao Academy, the Qiankun Tower is undoubtedly the treasure of the academy."

"However, for your two major sects, it may not mean much."

"As for the Ancient Sword Sect, there is no need to say more. I heard that Brother Cheng had a great harvest in the Fallen Demon Valley and obtained many precious treasures."

"And Fellow Daoist Chen was able to quickly advance to the middle stage, probably because he encountered other opportunities in the Fallen Demon Valley."

The old man surnamed Feng asked tentatively with a smile.

"Did you obtain some treasures? Is Brother Feng's source of information reliable?"

"I don't know much about Junior Brother Chen's situation. The last time I entered the Demon Valley, although I did obtain two ancient treasures, their power was mediocre and could not be compared with the Qiankun Tower."

The silver-haired old man shook his head repeatedly to deny it.

"Chen did not obtain any powerful ancient treasures, but lost a large number of treasures in the Fallen Demon Valley."

"If it weren't for the coincidence that improved my cultivation, I'm afraid this trip would have been in vain."

Naturally, Chen Yun would not mention the matter of Lingmiao Garden in detail, but just mentioned it vaguely.

"Fellow Daoist Chen has been able to improve his cultivation. What kind of treasure does he need to rely on?"

"If my cultivation can be further improved, I am willing to exchange all my treasures for it."

The old man surnamed Feng said with a wry smile, his tone filled with three parts of self-mockery and three parts of envy.

When Chen Yun heard this, he smiled slightly but did not respond.

After walking through a garden full of flowers, they were led into an extremely spacious hall.

The area of ​​this hall is over a hundred feet, and the surrounding walls are inlaid with unknown crystals that glow with golden light, each of which is the size of a fist.

The whole hall not only does not appear dim, but instead presents a gorgeous and wealthy atmosphere.

"Please feel free to take your seats, fellow Taoists. Brother Liehuo will come after he completes the ceremony. As for the fellow Taoists from the Ancient Sword Sect, I believe they will arrive soon as well."

The old man surnamed Feng warmly invited Chen Yun and others to sit down and said politely.

"It is said that this time, Jin Laoguai from the Ancient Sword Sect has successfully broken through the barrier of life and death, and will also attend this event. Is this true?"

As soon as Lu Luo sat down, he couldn't wait to ask about this.

"It is true. Fellow Daoist Jin even personally sent a sound transmission note to Senior Brother Liehuo, indicating that he would come to watch the ceremony. However..."

The old man surnamed Feng paused for a moment when he spoke here.

"But what?"

Lu Luo was puzzled. The silver-haired old man was also attracted and turned to look at him. Chen Yun looked around and seemed to be unconcerned about the matter.

"However, Fellow Daoist Jin came here, probably more because he wanted to see Fellow Daoist Chen's strength with his own eyes."

"After all, Brother Chen's reputation is well-known, and he has now become one of the best figures under the three great monks."

"In terms of personal combat capability, he is the best in our Tiandao League and he deserves the title."

"What's more, Brother Chen has now successfully advanced to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul."

The old man surnamed Ding glanced at Chen Yun, a mysterious smile appeared on his lips, and he spoke slowly.

"Could it be that Old Monster Jin intends to challenge Junior Brother Chen's strength? This old senior has been practicing in seclusion for many years, but his character is still so stubborn?"

Senior Brother Cheng frowned and said with a little dissatisfaction.

"Fellow Daoist Chen and Senior Brother Feng don't know about this. But based on Fellow Daoist Chen's superb magical powers, he will surely ignore any threats."

"To be honest, we, the people of the Great Dao, are also looking forward to seeing Brother Chen's magical skills."

The old man surnamed Ding made no secret of the truth and expressed his views straightforwardly.

"So, does this gathering mean that the ranking order of Yunmeng Mountain will be readjusted?"

Lu Luo's eyes sparkled, he tapped the table lightly, and spoke leisurely. (End of this chapter)
