Chapter 260: Exchange Conference, Preach!_4
The voice said indifferently, "Junior brothers and sisters, today's discussion on the Dao must have reaped no small rewards. As it is a discussion reserved for disciples, Lu Xian has also come forward."
"However... if we're talking about a discussion, it might not be quite appropriate."
"Simply put, I will preach to the junior brothers and sisters for three days."
"I hope you all gain some insights."
Although Lu Xian still held the title of Saint Heir, his strength had already reached that of a Monarch Realm Great Power, stronger than all the elders and the Master of Wan Hua Valley present!
He was nearly on par with longstanding Great Powers like the Sword Sect Master and the Master of Wan Hua Valley!
He naturally had no intention of engaging in discourse with these lower-ranking cultivators. His appearance today was because of his status. He was there to support the face of the Sword Sect and incidentally to preach for a few days, so that the junior brothers and sisters might gain something.
"Many thanks, Senior Brother Lu Xian!"
The many disciples brightened up upon hearing these words.
A preaching by a Monarch Realm Great Power was a rare opportunity for them!
If they could gain insights from it, breaking through a bottleneck should be no trouble at all.
"The Innate Sword Body is indeed extraordinary."
The always indifferent expression of Su Mei'er lit up a bit at that moment.
This Lu Xian True Monarch could certainly count as a legendary figure of Central State in the past millennium. Before Gu Changge made his appearance, he was the undisputed number one among the young generation!
But now...
Su Mei'er was more curious as to why the figure of Gu Changge had yet to appear.
Was he not planning to attend this Exchange Conference?
If that were the case, then she would have come here for nothing.
Soon, the voice of Lu Xian True Monarch entered everyone's ears, and the Tao Rhythm that surrounded him immersed the crowd in a state akin to sudden enlightenment.
The disciples listened intently, mesmerized.
During the preaching, Lu Xian True Monarch would occasionally glance in the direction of the heavy ground of Sword Mountain.
To tell the truth, he also wished to meet Junior Brother Gu in person.
And suddenly, the third day of Lu Xian True Monarch's preaching arrived.
The plaza was extremely quiet, only Lu Xian True Monarch, amidst the swirl of Tao Rhythm, continued to expound on the Dao.
From the Reach Profound Realm to the Sage Realm, he shared his experiences with the junior brothers and sisters without reservation.
Suddenly, with the appearance of a figure,
Lu Xian True Monarch's recitation of the Dao paused for a moment as he silently gazed at the person.
However, after making eye contact, he continued with his preaching, without affecting the listening disciples.
Gu Changge walked onto the plaza, glanced at Lu Xian True Monarch, who was preaching, and guessed his identity.
This time, his retreat had extended by two days, but it had not delayed anything significant.
After giving a slight bow to Lu Xian True Monarch, he sat down cross-legged.
As it happened, Lu Xian True Monarch was expounding on experiences related to the Eight-grade Heavenly Gate Realm.
For him, listening was also somewhat beneficial.
Lu Xian True Monarch continued his lecture uninterrupted, but he gave Gu Changge a slight nod, a form of greeting.
In his heart, he couldn't help but think that Junior Brother Gu seemed to be quite amicable.
He didn't appear to be inclined towards slaughter; instead, he exuded the air of a cultured and refined gentleman. The matters regarding the Wu Family probably had another side to the story.
Meanwhile, Su Mei'er, who wasn't entirely focused on the preaching, naturally noticed Gu Changge's presence.
Through the thin veil of her hat, she observed him with her fox-like charming eyes.
The other party seemed to notice her gaze as well and turned to meet her eyes right away.
Gu Changge furrowed his brows slightly; upon seeing this woman, his heart unexpectedly experienced an inexplicable throbbing.
This feeling, as if it were an actual palpitation, was not unsuitable to mention... but it made him slightly uncomfortable.
It gave him the sense that his state of mind was slightly beyond his control.
Fortunately, as soon as he willed it, the sensation dissipated.
After giving a slight nod to her, Gu Changge continued to listen intently to Lu Xian True Monarch's preaching.
Every so often, his expression would light up with clarity.
Although he was sure to comprehend these things once he reached a similar realm, having prior knowledge was undoubtedly only beneficial and not harmful to him.
"Unaffected by Charming Bone?"
Su Mei'er was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised.
Other men would show a distinct change in their gaze upon seeing her.
However, when Gu Changge looked at her, his eyes remained calm, and he even furrowed his brows slightly—was he displaying aversion to her?
Strange...
This incident couldn't help but stir a sense of competitiveness in her heart.
Men usually lost their reason at the sight of her, yet today there was one who frowned upon seeing her.
Had it not been for the precedent of Gu Changge having four Daoist couples, she might have suspected that he was not fond of women at all, but instead favored...
Soon, the three-day preaching by Lu Xian True Monarch came to an end.
During the three days, some disciples at the threshold of their realms had unconsciously achieved breakthroughs while listening to the preaching!
Both the disciples from the Sword Sect and Wan Hua Valley gained considerably.
They stood and bowed to Lu Xian True Monarch, "We thank Senior Brother Lu Xian!"
Even Gu Changge stood up and bowed slightly in salutation.
"Lu has no wish to stay long, so I wish all the junior brothers and sisters further gains in the upcoming competition."
Lu Xian True Monarch accepted their thanks calmly but once again nodded towards Gu Changge in response.
Leaving behind those words, his figure directly turned into Tao Rhythm and vanished from the eyes of the crowd.
At that moment, the many female cultivators of Wan Hua Valley followed his previous nod, finally noticing Gu Changge!
"Is this Saint Gu?"
Just one look, and they could distinguish Gu Changge from the crowd. His bearing was somewhat outstanding and unique, especially given his handsome appearance.
