Chapter 3, The Hypocrite

I said... how incredibly blue the sky is! How thick the earth is! How beautiful the purple bamboo is! How fragrant the flowers are! Tan Tan, you are truly handsome... Hahahaha..." Chu Yang leaped up suddenly, bursting into loud laughter, his laughter clear and resonant, echoing far and wide

Since I have been reborn and gained four additional years, how can I afford to waste this time? I must obtain the Nine Tribulations Sword in advance! To acquire the Nine Tribulations Sword, I must enter the inner sect, attain the status of senior disciple, and then venture into the Land of Seven Yin

This is the frustration arising from seeing Chu Yang unharmed! Damn it, how did he not die?

But now Chu Yang knows that all of this is certainly not a coincidence! Shi Qianshan, he is capable of doing it!

Chu Yang's lips curled into a faint smile as he murmured, "This place where the Seven Yin converge, Shi Qianshan, in this lifetime, is mine!"

Spring and Autumn Dan, a wave of sorrow surged in Chu Yang's heart. This kind of worthless trash, which no one would even pick up after being thrown away for three days, had become the reason for the eldest senior brother to frame both of them this time

Shi Qianshan

As long as one enters there, they become a candidate for the next sect leader! Throughout the history of the Heavenly Tower, only one person has been able to enter!

Thus, this Spring and Autumn Dan, although it can only enhance one's pure cultivation for a year, is sufficient for these young disciples to far surpass their peers of the same level in just that one year

"What have you done to wrong me? Sigh, such a large wound, would it not hurt you?" Shi Qianshan exclaimed angrily: "The one you have wronged is Junior Brother Chu Yang!"

Chuyang fortuitously obtained the tip of the Nine Calamity Sword, marking the beginning of his path to rise... At that time, he was already twenty years old

I want you to know that you are more beautiful than a sword I want you to know that in this world, you are the most beautiful You are the most beautiful

Chuyang was instantly taken aback

No wonder this person was able to stand out from the outer disciples in their previous life, rising steadily to the top, ultimately competing for the position of the senior brother!

For a moment, Chu Yang was left dumbfounded, his body swaying slightly, nearly shocked to the point of falling over

Lightly dance, wait for me

Such a skill of being two-faced, both in front and behind, is truly rare! It is simply seamless! Others will never know what he is truly thinking.

What is going on? ... I'm hungry ...? ... It should be related to the stomach, right? Or is it discomfort in the stomach? Why is the lower dantian also hungry?

No wonder in his previous life, after entering the inner sect, he was able to win the heart of the sect leader Wu Yunliang's daughter, Wu Qianqian, in such a short time

In this moment, Chu Yang was filled with excitement! All the regrets of his past life would be compensated in this life

"Master Brother... we were wrong..." Tan Tan said with discomfort: "I’m sorry. In the future, when I fight him, I will just cover my face..."

This is the reward obtained by the master for completing the sect's task this time. I remember the master once said that it would be of no use for him to take this medicine again, so he intended to choose one among his three disciples to take it.

However, Shi Qianshan immediately revealed an expression of anger and shouted, "What are you doing? Chu Yang, what happened to your head? Didn't I tell you all long ago that when brothers spar, it should be just a light touch? Using such great force, Tan Tan, do you want to kill Chu Yang?"

That is the first segment of the Nine Calamities Sword's tip

Tan Tan looked at Shi Qianshan with some trepidation, his face full of shame. He opened his mouth and stammered, "Senior Brother, it is... it is my fault... my handsome and dashing appearance shocked Chu Yang, he... he was momentarily stunned... hetushu.com.com"

When Shi Qianshan speaks, every word seems to come straight from the heart. Moreover, his gaze is unwavering, directly locking onto the eyes of the other person, exuding sincerity. It is evident that he possesses a broad-minded spirit, and everything he does is from the heart

That feeling surged like a tide, as if a pot had begun to boil within the dantian

At this moment, the master received a "Spring and Autumn Pill" issued by the sect; as the name suggests, the user of the Spring and Autumn Pill can increase their pure cultivation power by one year

Although worn and dilapidated, this illusory shadow nonetheless exudes an intangible aura of overwhelming power that seems capable of devouring the heavens and the earth

The pinnacle of the way of heaven, I, Chu Yang...! ... must ascend! Up! Go!

Until the sudden and unfortunate death of Tan Tan, I once went to pay my respects to him and inadvertently saw the senior brother there as well. He was standing before Tan Tan's tombstone, revealing that I had overheard this matter. It was then that I realized that this senior brother, whom both Tan Tan and I had always respected, was actually such a despicable person

"Hey, I do have a handsome appearance, but what’s so great about this sky, this land, and this purple bamboo... it’s really absurd." Tan Tan rolled his eyes, one eyebrow arched like a peak in the sky, while the other pointed down to the ground, mumbling.

"Chuyang, Tan Tan! Are you here?" With a burst of hearty laughter, a young man in a blue robe emerged from the bamboo grove.

In his previous life, Shi Qianshan succeeded. He gradually climbed up from his current status as an outer disciple, ultimately entering the inner sect and qualifying to compete for the position of senior brother.

But after the collapse, deep within the foundation, a glimmering tip of a sword was revealed... seemingly carrying the temptation of the devil...

As he smiled at the illustrated book, just as he was about to take a step forward, he suddenly froze, feeling an intense hunger surging from his dantian. Or rather, it was a very urgent, very pressing sensation.

Chu Yang and the three others were on the periphery of the Heavenly Tower. According to common reasoning, it was absolutely impossible to enter the inner cabinet. For Shi Qianshan to gain entry, he must stand out time and again in the grand competitions among the sect disciples, until the very end

However, just four years later, for reasons unknown, the Tianwai Tower was suddenly besieged by various major sects, and in a single night, it was reduced to ashes

Chuyang was at a loss for words

However, in this lifetime, it will be difficult for Shi Qianshan to achieve his goals so easily... Because before him stands me, Chu Yang! All his schemes are rendered meaningless in my presence!

This, is this not the Nine Calamity Sword? How could it be in my dantian?

Under heavy injuries, Chu Yang fell into a coma, buried beneath a pile of corpses. By the time he awoke, three days had already passed.

Carefully, she used her own garment to wipe away the bloodstains from Chu Yang, then bandaged him up, applying pressure gently. Only after ensuring everything was in order did she finally relax and let out a sigh, saying: "Alas, if Master were to see this, he would surely blame me for not taking good care of the two junior brothers. You two..." She sighed while shaking her head.

Shi Qianshan, slender in build, appears very refined, around twenty-three or twenty-four years old. On ordinary days, he is extremely kind to Chu Yang and Tan Tan, and it seems that this senior brother is even closer than a biological brother.

Mo Tianji, you wait for me!

"Come, let me take you back to properly recuperate." Shi Qianshan said as he kindly helped Chu Yang to his feet

This sword has a somewhat peculiar shape, yet it is incredibly familiar to Chu Yang

The place that Shi Qianshan dreams of entering

Tan Tan, good brother! I will not let you die again

Apart from books, there is no other way!

With Chu Yang's composure, he found it absolutely unbearable! Unable to contain himself any longer, Chu Yang immersed his mind, channeling his energy to look inward. Upon doing so, he nearly exclaimed in shock!

Chu Yang sighed inwardly; this Shi Qianshan was so sincere in both expression and action, as well as in tone, without any flaws. If he had not been reborn, he would definitely have been deceived by him.

In the center of his dantian, a shadow of a small, ethereal sword unexpectedly appeared! Its color was dim, only the size of a fingertip, and on the blade, eight distinct cracks were clearly visible

And that collapsed foundation, in Chu Yang's memory, is precisely the location where the Seven Yin of the Heavenly Tower converge

In this lifetime, I will not let you down

Thinking of this, Chu Yang sighed inwardly... How foolish he and Tan Tan were in his past life...

Chu Yang turned his head immediately, calmly gazing at the gentle smile on the face before him. He distinctly perceived a flicker of disappointment and regret deep within Shi Qianshan's eyes.

slender physique, a thin face, slightly dark complexion, and a pair of eyes that are not large but very expressive

"Yes, it is." Tan Tan nodded repeatedly, his face full of guilt and shame. Under the concerned questioning of the senior brother, he felt utterly humiliated... Helplessly touching his face, he sighed with resentment, feeling that being so handsome and striking, so breathtakingly charming, was truly an unforgivable disaster for the nation and the people...

Shi Qianshan has a fervent pursuit of power. In his eyes, he is willing to sacrifice everything to achieve his goals

At that time, the Tianwai Tower was engulfed in raging flames, which had not yet been completely extinguished. After three days of intense burning, the main structure of the Tianwai Tower finally collapsed entirely, nearly crushing the immobile Chuyang beneath it

You all... truly do not allow me to rest easy. Shi Qianshan sighed in frustration, saying, "When will I be able to put my mind at ease with my master? At this age, you still act like a child..."

Wu Qianqian is known as the most beautiful woman in Tianwai Tower, and many have pursued her. However, Shi Qianshan, who is not particularly handsome, quietly captured the heart of this extraordinary woman! When this news spread, the entire Tianwai Tower was shocked

"What did you say?" Chu Yang's voice was extremely low, and Tan Gan did not hear it at all. He only saw Chu Yang's lips move slightly, which prompted him to ask.

Yet he never expected that all of this was a lie! From beginning to end, he was using Chu Yang and Tan Tan! His usual disguise was all to eliminate the two at a critical moment, monopolizing the cultivation resources of the sect!

Why did Shi Qianshan do this? Chu Yang also knew the reason. He was determined to find a way to enter the inner door of the Heavenly Tower and obtain the qualification of an inner disciple. Then he aimed to become the eldest senior brother of all the inner disciples of the Heavenly Tower and enter the place where the Seven Yin converge in the Heavenly Tower

As he listened to Tan's self-absorption, Shi Qianshan subtly revealed a hint of disdain in his eyes. How could such an ugly creature be so self-absorbed to this extent? It is truly beyond comprehension

In the previous life, this Spring and Autumn Pill was still obtained by Senior Brother Shi Qianshan

Approaching quickly, with a concerned expression, during the movement, she had already "tore" a piece of her underwear off. Coming to Chu Yang's side, she looked at him with pity: "Does it hurt? Don't move, I'll bandage it for you. Don't move around these days, so the wound doesn't get exposed to the wind..."

If the Celestial Tower had not been destroyed, Chu Yang could be certain that the position of the final inner sect elder brother would undoubtedly belong to Shi Qianshan

This has also been a means by which the Tianwai Building has inspired its disciples to strive for progress throughout the generations
