Chapter 482: Chapter 478: The Reason Nangong Jin Treats Zheng Changnian Well

Upon first entering Cangxuan Valley, Shen Han wasn’t quite clear about his own strength, nor the strength of the powerful individuals across the Divine Land.

Therefore, in his actions, he tended to be conservative.

When faced with provocations from others, Shen Han did not choose to retaliate immediately.

But now, Shen Han has a sufficient understanding of the entire Divine Land.

Having read so many general knowledge books in the Star Tower, he basically knows everything.

The most powerful forces in the Divine Land are those sects in the Inner Domain.

Even Fu Tianqi of the Celestial Sword Sect can engage him in battle, let alone Zheng Changnian from Cangxuan Valley.

This qualification competition should be considered Shen Han’s true battle to fame. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Through this clash, Cangxuan Valley should have realized the kind of talent they missed.

Missing out is one thing, the key is that they not only missed out but also made an enemy...

After the qualification competition, Shen Han returned to the Star Tower together with everyone from there.

The Sect Leader of the Celestial Sword Sect, Yu You, also chose to go the same way.

The other sects didn’t linger much either; once they left, they departed.

However, Cangxuan Valley moved more slowly than others.

Valley Master Yue Bugong sat there motionless.

After seeing Yu You leave, Nangong Jin approached Zheng Changnian and said in front of everyone,

"If you want to become stronger, come with me."

Upon hearing this, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in Zheng Changnian’s desolate eyes.

He thought his defeat had made even Nangong Jin abandon him.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zheng Changnian followed him without any regard for the eyes of everyone in Cangxuan Valley.

Yue Bugong’s old face twitched a few times, yet he was utterly powerless.

Saying he hated traitors the most, was Zheng Changnian not considered a traitor then...

But what could he say now?

After this defeat, Zheng Changnian had a strong figure like Nangong Jin willing to accept him.

How could he be willing to stay any longer...

As Zheng Changnian left, Yue Bugong also shouted sternly, "Return to the valley!"

Yet, as he said this, Zheng Changnian didn’t even turn his head.

The former Zheng Changnian was always lingering around Yue Bugong.

He, as the sect leader, had quite a personal relationship with this disciple.

But when Zheng Changnian chose to abandon Cangxuan Valley, he didn’t even give him another glance.

Thinking he had the skill to recognize people, Yue Bugong realized he was just so-so.

At this moment, Zheng Changnian already stepped onto Nangong Jin’s Magical Artifact, the elder and the youth quickly left.

The disciples of Cangxuan Valley couldn’t help but show a trace of envy when they saw him leave.

Though they were all defeated, even after a genius was defeated, someone was still willing to guide them.

But for other disciples, this failure just meant losing a whole bunch of opportunities for advancement.

This time, it marked Zheng Changnian’s complete parting with Cangxuan Valley.

Following Nangong Jin together, the two flew on the Magical Artifact for more than a day.

The final landing spot was in a mundane town.

Such a town was almost entirely inhabited by ordinary people who had not embarked on cultivation.

To powerful cultivators, this type of town was of no value.

It didn’t even have the value of being enslaved.

In general, at most, those Outer Sect disciples of Cangxuan Valley who finished their studies would settle there for a leisurely life.

Anyone with aspirations for cultivation wouldn’t choose to go to such a place.

But Nangong Jin, on the contrary, established his base in the mundane world.

Such a move was rather unexpected.

Zheng Changnian followed Nangong Jin into the courtyard before them.

The ornamentation of the courtyard was not flashy, even in this mundane town, it could only be described as average.

Seeing Nangong Jin return to the courtyard, all the servants inside bowed in greeting.

Nangong Jin did not respond but directly led Zheng Changnian into the Inner Courtyard.

The Inner Courtyard was very quiet, separated by barriers around, making it difficult for the outside world to disturb.

No matter what was done inside, it wouldn’t disturb the outside world.

The two sat down in the courtyard, and after a while, a servant knocked on the courtyard door, bringing some tea and snacks.

"During this competition, it seems that young friend Changnian was somewhat affected?"

Nangong Jin gently stroked his long beard and asked softly.

Hearing this question, the face of Zheng Changnian, which had slightly recovered, fell again.

"If I said I wasn’t affected, Elder Jin wouldn’t believe it...

This time, I really lost face in front of everyone.

That Shen Han, I never expected him to hide his strength so deeply..."

Hearing this, Nangong Jin smiled kindly.

"When I was young, I had embarrassed myself like this before, even more miserably than you.

The mockery at that time is still vivid in my memory today.

But I have still reached where I am today, and it can even be said that these humiliations provided me with endless motivation."

A strong person’s example of their own experience is worth referring to.

Hearing these words, the resentment, unwillingness, and loss in Zheng Changnian’s heart seemed to dissipate somewhat.

However, he seemingly did not notice a trace of peculiarity in Nangong Jin’s eyes.

"Changnian, I have lived for more than three hundred years, and you are the most talented young person I’ve ever seen.

Even though you lost to Shen Han this time, in my view, your talent and potential still surpass his.

I trust my own vision, and you must also trust your potential."

Hearing this, Zheng Changnian seemed to regain his confidence.

"This time, calling you here, I actually intend to pass my skills onto you.

Are you willing?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Changnian naturally agreed happily.

"During your confrontation with Shen Han, with just a slight hint from me, you were able to manifest such a Celestial Gate technique.

This is enough to indicate that your talent is very compatible with my Cultivation Technique.

However, at that time, I saw Shen Han break your Celestial Gate with one slash of his sword.

Did you notice anything at that moment?"

Nangong Jin still cared about this detail.

He couldn’t figure out why his Celestial Gate technique could be broken so easily.

Hearing Nangong Jin’s inquiry, Zheng Changnian also fell into recollection.

But after a moment, he still shook his head.

"Elder Jin, I’m actually not very sure either.

At that time, my temperament was a bit odd, I just remember he struck with his long sword, and the Celestial Gate I summoned was just cut open...

It seemed as if something strange was attached to that sword..."

Zheng Changnian voiced his guess, and upon hearing this, Nangong Jin couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

This was somewhat important for a cultivator like him, who practiced the Abnormal Phenomenon Technique.

But at the moment, Nangong Jin still had a more important matter.

"If you don’t remember clearly, then never mind, there’s no need to overthink it.

Without further ado, I will pass some Cultivation Techniques onto you today.

You should know, in the Inner Domain, others call me the Divine Dream Elder.

When I pass on skills, it is the Dream-Entering Technique.

Do not resist within your Heart Thought, follow my intent, and comprehend the aura of these Cultivation Techniques."

Hearing this, Zheng Changnian naturally nodded.

The two walked into the room, with Zheng Changnian calming his mind, waiting for Nangong Jin’s skill transmission.

The Dream-Entering Technique, just by hearing its name, seemed incredibly mysterious.

Lying on the bed, the skill transmission had begun, and it seemed like a force was suppressing his Heart Thought.

"Do not resist, accept."

Upon hearing, Zheng Changnian indeed obediently opened his Heart Thought, allowing Nangong Jin’s mind to invade.

Divine Dream Elder, Dream-Entering Technique.

One two-hour, two two-hour, Zheng Changnian gradually discovered that he seemed to have lost control of his own body...

It seemed as if his Heart Thought was being imprisoned.

Wanting to move a finger, even that became ineffective...

At that moment, he suddenly realized...
