When one couldn't agree, besides just ceasing to talk, one could also change the subject. Chen Changsheng was not good at chatting, but that didn't mean that Gou Hanshi wasn't. Moreover, he really did have some matters that he desired precise answers for from Chen Changsheng. ”Was it really that person that entered Mount Han?”
Chen Changsheng nodded.
Gou Hanshi needed a few moments of silence to process the shock in his heart. He sighed, ”The Demon Lord personally appeared and you were able to survive. You'll be blessed with good fortune in the future.”
Chen Changsheng shook his head. He was keenly aware that the Demon Lord had entered Mount Han to eat him. If he had just wanted to kill him…there would have been no way he could have survived.
The occasional sounds of fierce quarreling, like the clashing of swords, could occasionally be heard from the house by the lake.
On the top floor balcony, Chen Changsheng and Gou Hanshi stood side by side, their clothes gently swaying in the wind.
On a distant stone, Zhong Hui quietly gazed in their direction, silently thinking about something.
On the lake shore, many cultivators from various sects were gazing distantly at Chen Changsheng and Gou Hanshi, and there were also some people looking at Zhong Hui.
Upon seeing this scene, seeing these youths, both the experts of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets and the elders of the various sects were all deeply moved.
In the past two years, many outstanding young cultivating geniuses had appeared on the continent.
Chen Changsheng and Gou Hanshi, the two childish fellows arguing in the house, and even Zhong Hui standing on the stone, not to mention Xu Yourong and Qiushan Jun.
In just these few short years, so many brilliant and genius youths had appeared. This was an extremely rare occurrence. Besides Wang Po's generation…not even Wang Po's generation when they were young were as amazing as these youths. In order to make a comparison, perhaps one would really have to go back to that magnificent and surging generation of greats from one thousand years ago.
It truly was the generation of blooming wildflowers.
”I really don't know, after many years, which of these youths will be the most outstanding.”
”No matter which one of them is most outstanding, in my view, they would all have to thank Chen Changsheng.”
”Why?”
”Because that night of starlight in the Mausoleum of Books helped these youths break through the most difficult pass.”
The discussion stopped and the scene grew quiet once more.
The elders of the various sects and the experts of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets recalled those life-or-death scenes when they and their peers attempted to break into Ethereal Opening. When they turned once more to those young geniuses, their gazes were complex, carrying admiration, even jealousy. And all of this was because of Chen Changsheng.

……
The forcibly postponed Boiling Stone Summit, on a certain unremarkable and ordinary day at the end of summer, formally opened, held amongst those elegant and ornate pavilions on the lake shore. Because of the Demon Lord's appearance in Mount Han, the atmosphere was rather oppressive. Moreover, compared to the past, far fewer big names appeared, so it couldn't but feel less interesting.
Not a single one of the top ten experts of the Proclamation of Liberation had attended. Perhaps they were like Painted Armor Xiao Zhang and regarded the Boiling Stone Summit as an empty affair, or perhaps they were like Liang Wangsun and could not come for various reasons. The most miserable was still the demi-human expert Xiao De. He had been wounded too seriously by the Demon Lord and had been sent back to White Emperor City a few days ago.
Fortunately, the Orthodoxy had sent an extremely impressive group this time. Besides the future Pope Chen Changsheng, there were also the two Prefects, Linghai Zhiwang and Mao Qiuyu. The Holy Maiden of the south, Xu Yourong, had also personally appeared. This was enough to give the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets face, and it also buoyed the spirits of those cultivators that had traveled long and far to attend the Boiling Stone Summit.
As the host, the Elder of Heavenly Secrets sat in the very center. Given her most exalted status, Xu Yourong sat to his right-hand side, concealed behind layer after layer of white curtains, and Chen Changsheng sat across from her on the other side. To the various cultivators, the Elder of Heavenly Secrets naturally possessed an honored status and was also very mysterious. Today, they could see with their own eyes his true appearance, a naturally precious opportunity, yet the vast majority of the gazes were still focused on Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong.
