“Ah?” The Ghost Doctor was puzzled, “Why would it be inappropriate to refuse the invitation from the Elder of the Mystic Azure Sect? Besides, I am used to being alone and do not like to be bound.”

“If Young Master Chen invites me to be the Elder, I will definitely accept,” Sword Immortal Changgeng said after a long silence.

“What?” The Ghost Doctor’s delicate body trembled slightly at the words, staring in disbelief, “Senior Sword Immortal, are you joking with me?”

“Do you think I need to make such a joke?” Sword Immortal Changgeng asked in return.

“But you were once the Respected Elder who suppressed countless strong people in the Imperial Province, the third best swordsman in the world. A figure like you, even if your strength is not what it used to be, is not someone the Mystic Azure Sect can afford to worship!”

Sword Immortal Changgeng was officially the third best in the world, but in reality, he was the strongest swordsman of that era, unmatched by anyone.

Because he called himself the third in the world, after Heaven and Earth.

That year, Sword Immortal Changgeng wanted to take a step forward and become the true number one in the world, challenging the path of Heaven and Earth. Unfortunately, Sword Immortal Changgeng failed, causing damage to his foundation and his sword to break.

Since then, everyone thought that Sword Immortal Changgeng was dead, leaving behind a legendary story.

Even after tens of thousands of years, there was no swordsman in the world who dared to call themselves the third in the world, let alone the first or second. All of this was attributed to Sword Immortal Changgeng, whose influence was too great.

“You don’t understand,” Sword Immortal Changgeng looked up at the sky, his voice hoarse, “You haven’t reached that level. If I tell you, it will only harm you.”

“Senior, I…”

The Ghost Doctor’s mind was in chaos, speaking incoherently, not knowing what to say.

“Whether for you or for me, becoming the Elder of the Mystic Azure Sect is definitely a great fortune. Unfortunately, you have pushed away the fortune that was within your grasp. Now that I have pointed it out, if Young Master Chen does not invite you again, you must not bring it up on your own. Otherwise, a great opportunity may turn into a disaster.”

Sword Immortal Changgeng warned solemnly.

“If you say this is a great opportunity, why can’t I take the initiative?”

The Ghost Doctor was temporarily not thinking about why it was a great opportunity, but rather did not understand how a great opportunity could turn into a disaster.

“The matter of cause and effect, if it comes naturally, it is safe, but if it goes against the flow, it is dangerous. I have already pointed out this great opportunity, so you cannot bring it up on your own, otherwise you will incur a great karmic debt that you cannot bear.”

Sword Immortal Changgeng said with a serious expression.

“What if Young Master Chen invites me again?”

Even Sword Immortal Changgeng called Chen Qingyuan “Young Master,” so the Ghost Doctor had to ask.

“Then you can agree, without any danger.”

Sword Immortal Changgeng nodded.

“Is there a big difference in this?”

The matter of cause and effect was elusive, and the Ghost Doctor could not see it clearly for the time being.

“The difference is significant,” Sword Immortal Changgeng said, “When Young Master Chen invites you, it is a good cause and effect. If you only go for the opportunity, your purpose is too obvious, and you may encounter many troubles in the future.”

“I don’t understand.” The Ghost Doctor stood there like a trained child, at a loss.

“It’s okay, you’ll understand in the future,” Sword Immortal Changgeng smiled slightly.

“Isn’t the Mystic Azure Sect just a force in the Flow Star Domain? How can it involve such a great cause and effect?”

The Ghost Doctor expressed deep doubts about this.

Silly girl, the greatest cause and effect is not the Mystic Azure Sect, but Chen Qingyuan.

However, Sword Immortal Changgeng did not say this.

Let the Ghost Doctor misunderstand!

Because the Mystic Azure Sect is indeed not as simple as it seems on the surface.

“Do you know Master Cangxuan?” Sword Immortal Changgeng changed the subject.

“Of course I know, he was a strong figure in the Imperial Province thousands of years ago, forcing many ancient sacred sites to apologize,” the Ghost Doctor said, having heard about it when she went to the Imperial Province.

“Do you know the origin of Master Cangxuan?”

Sword Immortal Changgeng continued to guide the conversation.

“I don’t know,” the Ghost Doctor shook her head, “Please tell me.”

“Master Cangxuan was the former Holy Lord of the Mystic Azure Sect.”

“What?”

At the words, the Ghost Doctor was directly stunned, her mind blank.

After being stunned for a long time, the Ghost Doctor asked in shock, “How is that possible? If the Mystic Azure Sect has such a background, why stay in the Flow Star Domain?”

“This is a very long story. I only found out about it by chance and deeply admire the Mystic Azure Sect,” Sword Immortal Changgeng said.

The former Holy Lord of the Mystic Azure Sect was named Feng Changxuan, and his direct disciple was Lin Changsheng.

A long time ago, Feng Changxuan suddenly left, and not long after, news of his passing spread. The Mystic Azure Sect was without a leader, and people were in a panic.

Following that, only Shangguan Rong was left in the older generation of the Mystic Azure Sect, stabilizing the situation and lifting Lin Changsheng to the position of Holy Lord, instructing the disciples to harmonize and help each other, not to be blinded by self-interest.

He was also Chen Qingyuan’s Master.

However, not long after Shangguan Rong took Chen Qingyuan as his disciple, it was rumored that he had gone astray in his cultivation and perished. From then on, all the strong elders of the older generation passed away, and the heavy burden of the Mystic Azure Sect fell on the shoulders of Lin Changsheng and others.

“As far as I know, the former Holy Lord of the Mystic Azure Sect was named Feng Changxuan, and has nothing to do with the famous Master Cangxuan, right?”

The Ghost Doctor inquired about Chen Qingyuan’s background and also learned about the history of the Mystic Azure Sect.

“Master Cangxuan is just an alias, unwilling to reveal his true identity, to avoid endless cause and effect for the younger generations of the sect,” Sword Immortal Changgeng deliberately pointed out, explaining in detail, “The Mystic Azure Sect has a long heritage, with its ancestral land located in the Imperial Province and a deep foundation. Once, the ancestors of the Mystic Azure Sect discovered a demonic abyss and, in conjunction with the forces of the Imperial Province, decided to suppress it. However…”

In a corner of the Imperial Province, there was a demonic abyss whose terror far exceeded the imagination of the common people.Approximately three hundred thousand years ago, the founding ancestor of the Mystic Azure Sect, along with hundreds of powerful experts, joined forces to finally seal the Demon Abyss. Due to the founding ancestor bearing the greatest karmic burden, he perished just a few years after the event.

Before his passing, the ancestor left a will stating that the issue of the Demon Abyss had not been truly resolved, and that the seal must be reinforced every ten thousand years. Initially, all the major powers of the Imperial Province naturally agreed, as an outbreak from the Demon Abyss would threaten everyone’s safety.

However, as time passed, aside from the Mystic Azure Sect, which continued to fulfill this responsibility, the other powers gradually stopped paying attention.

The reason was that the powerful experts from those forces were unwilling to risk their lives for this task. They had cultivated arduously for a lifetime to reach the pinnacle of the great world, and before they could properly enjoy a carefree and joyful life, they were expected to head towards the Demon Abyss, which was something they could not accept in their hearts.

Although the top experts of the Mystic Azure Sect were furious, they were helpless. Since the other Sect powers did not want to take the risk, the Mystic Azure Sect would go on their own.

The descendants would surely fulfill the last words left by the founding ancestor.

Gradually, all the leading figures of the Mystic Azure Sect went to the Demon Abyss, with very few returning alive, greatly diminishing the Sect’s strength.

A hundred thousand years ago, a Holy Lord of the Mystic Azure Sect made a decision to move away from the Imperial Province and find a new suitable place to settle.

If possible, the Mystic Azure Sect would certainly not wish to leave the Imperial Province, rich in Spiritual Qi.

“Will the Mystic Azure Sect ever return to the Imperial Province?”

The Holy Lord looked up to the sky and sighed deeply, carrying with him reluctance and regret as he headed towards the Northern Wilderness.

Under such circumstances, this was the only way to preserve a glimmer of lineage for the Sect.
