Cheng Qing, Wei Nian Ci, and Zhang Pei left together. They gathered the rest of the disciples and ascended the stone steps. Then, they walked towards the Hall of Ecclesiastic Education.2
The main hall was extremely wide, with a length and width of over a hundred steps. On the north side, there was the offering of the Thousand-Jue Sect's divine artifact — the Thousand-Jue Sword. The Thousand Ultimate Sword was over ten zhang tall and was a dark yellow colored glaze. Its entire body was covered densely in dense symbols and was incomparably sharp. It gave people the feeling that it could cut down the sun, moon, and stars.
However, according to Su Chen's narration, Cheng Qing knew that this Thousand Extinction Sword was only a stone sculpture. The true Thousand Extinction Sword was not that large, and had long since been lost — this was also the reason why the Thousand Extinction Sect had declined.
The effect of the stone statue in front of their eyes on the Thousand Extreme Martial School was more of a memory of the past glory, reminding the current disciples not to forget their struggles.
The wall behind the Thousand-Jue Sword was filled with portraits, over a hundred of them. The characters in the portraits all had different styles, and most of them were portraits of elderly people. This was the famous ancestor of the entire history, including but not limited to the sect masters.
Cheng Qing followed the other disciples and kowtowed nine times to these ancestors' portraits, and then started to burn them one by one. While they were doing this, Lee Shan waiting for the three elders to stand by and watch, the grey-haired elder's gaze intentionally or unintentionally would fall on Cheng Qing.
Of course Cheng Qing knew who the other person was.
The Great Elder of the Thousand Extreme Martial School, Su Wence.
In other words, Su Chen's father.
Cheng Qing didn't respond to Su Wence's gaze at all, as if he hadn't noticed at all.
According to what Su Chen said, his relationship with Su Wence was very ordinary. After all, Su Wence was an illegitimate child, and his status in his family had been very low since he was young.
For the sake of his illegitimate child, Su Wence couldn't possibly go against his proper wife and all of his other sons. Thus, he didn't spend much time protecting Su Chen. Su Chen suffered a lot at home, so he couldn't help but accumulate a lot of resentment towards Su Wence.
Later on, Su Chen had a bit of luck in the Thousand Sword Valley and obtained a legacy. Although he couldn't compare to a monster like Li Yi, he was still considered very rare amongst the sect disciples. His cultivation realm continued to rise as he became a genius. His brothers had to pull away from him before their status could change.
Ever since Su Chen had advanced to the Xumi Stage, the amount of cultivation resources and assistance Su Wence had given him had gradually increased. However, at that time, Su Chen's hatred for Su Wence had already formed, and even if he gained benefits, he would not change his impression of Su Wence.
All in all, Cheng Qing did not need to interact much with Su Wence now.
This was a good thing for him.
After a simple tribute to the ancestors, the disciples sat down on the prayer mats in the hall, while Su Wence lectured the disciples on cultivation, giving them some answers.
As the head elder of the sect, Su Wence had a high cultivation base, so there were not many opportunities for him to teach. The disciples all listened seriously, and their eyes all lit up.
Only Cheng Qing was listless, and he could not help but feel drowsy.
In front of so many people, he had no way to meditate and cultivate. He could only listen to what they were saying.
Su Wence's cultivation comprehension was a treasure to the other disciples of the Thousand Extreme Martial School, but to Chen Qing, it was too crude and crude. There were even some mistakes, which sounded like torture to him. However, in order for his words and actions to match Su Chen's status, he had no choice but to put on a serious appearance. It could be said that he was in extreme pain.
In order to avoid falling asleep, Cheng Qing had no choice but to shift his gaze from time to time, looking all around in search of something that could lift his spirit.
Soon, he discovered a pair of eyes that were not focused at all.
