Chapter 455 - Chapter 455: System Evolution (2/2)

Chen Yu took a step back, his muscles tense to the extreme.

These Taoist priests practiced on the mountain every day, possessing exceptionally strong physical constitutions; a few had even reached the limits of human capabilities.

Chen Yu was not sure he could defeat so many people at once.

Just as they were about to make a move, Heavenly Master Long Tian suddenly stood up.

“Enough, stop the commotion and stand down!”

No one dared to say much else, quickly backing away.

The reluctance in their eyes was unmistakable, and although they did not wish to dismember Chen Yu completely, there was still an impulse to give him a thorough beating.

Chen Yu gave a light cough and approached Heavenly Master Long Tian, kneeling before him.

“Heavenly Master, for what purpose have you summoned me?”

Heavenly Master Long Tian stepped forward and immediately grabbed Chen Yu’s wrist.

“You indeed carry something within you that sets you apart from ordinary people. It seems I have made the right choice. From today on, you are my Closed-door Disciple.”

Without regard for whether the others agreed, Heavenly Master Long Tian pulled Chen Yu toward the back mountain.

All the people in the square sighed deeply, looking pained; some even knelt and kept kowtowing, their eyes brimming with tears, as if they had just lost their own father.

Chen Yu happened to see this scene as he left and immediately found it strange.

Upon reaching the back mountain, he activated his system immediately, wanting to scan Heavenly Master Long Tian’s brain information, but to his surprise, the Heavenly Master exuded a strange aura that could block the system.

Chen Yu tried several times, but to no avail.

Heavenly Master Long Tian took two steps forward and lightly clapped his hands. The lush woods in front of him sprang to life, opening up to reveal a path.

This path led directly to a small, emerald-green lake deep within the forest.

“Child, follow me!”

Chen Yu suppressed his emotions and followed Heavenly Master Long Tian to the emerald-green lake.

A strange mist emanated from the lake.

A slight whiff was enough to tell that the mist was mixed with the essences of tens of thousands of medicinal herbs.

Chen Yu immediately felt refreshed, but his mind seemed to be under some control, making him subconsciously want to jump into the small lake. Your next chapter awaits on Novgo.com

After biting hard on the tip of his tongue, Chen Yu was able to suppress this urge, but he had already reached the edge of the lake, with one foot poised to step in.

Heavenly Master Long Tian nodded with satisfaction.

“You’re quite remarkable. The first time I came here, half of my foot was already in the water! My master said my concentration was insufficient to reach the state of unity with heaven and earth mentioned in the legends of Xuanqing Sect. But you are different; you can certainly inherit the essence of the Xuanqing Sect!”

Chen Yu felt somewhat bewildered, not understanding what Heavenly Master Long Tian meant.

Before he could react, Heavenly Master Long Tian’s finger touched his forehead, and a brutally powerful force surged into his body.

[Alert, foreign energy infusing into the body]

[Autonomous protection function activated]

[Host’s physical abilities enhanced, combining with foreign energy, alert dismissed]

The system seemed somewhat flustered throughout the process but quickly adapted to the forceful energy.

Part of it entered Chen Yu’s body, transforming his muscles and breaking through the limits of humanity; even the many incomprehensible bits of knowledge in his head began to connect.

The other part was converted by the system in a special way and entered a purification state autonomously.

Inside his mind, Chen Yu could observe the entire process of the system’s evolution.
