Chapter 806: So You’re Elder Shen’s Junior

“Celestial Floodgate Realm?”

A wave of joy instantly surged through Jiang Anran’s heart.

In years past, through the cross-realm treasures left in the Nine Essences cultivation world by Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, she had learned of the realm they had ascended to, which was precisely this Celestial Floodgate Realm.

“I didn’t expect that I would ascend to the Celestial Floodgate Realm like Shifu Jiang and Shen.

This means I should be able to see them again soon.”

With this thought, Jiang Anran immediately turned to Liu Haolong, bowing slightly as she inquired.

“In that case, may I ask Fellow Daoist Liu, how far is the Haoran Sect and the Thunderclap Valley from here?

Do you know how I might travel there?”

“Huh…?”

Hearing Jiang Anran’s question, Liu Haolong was immediately taken aback.

“What’s going on? Could it be that this fairy has connections with both the Haoran Sect and the Thunderclap Valley?

If that’s truly the case, then her background must be quite significant.

I must ensure to maintain a good relationship with her.

Such a connection could bring enormous benefits to both myself and the Flying Cloud Sect.”

With this in mind, Liu Haolong promptly said to Jiang Anran

“Do you wish to visit the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley, Fairy?

Don’t misunderstand, I’m just speaking honestly. From here, both places are indeed quite a distance away.

If you wish to go there, it’s best to use the teleportation array located within the Immortal City.

Otherwise, if you were to fly there, I’m afraid it might take years.”

“Really? That long?”

Jiang Anran was also slightly surprised.

She hadn’t realized that the distance from this ascension platform to the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley was so vast.

“Actually, if you wish to go to the Haoran Sect or Thunderclap Valley, I can serve as your guide.

I don’t have any other requests. I just hope that once we arrive, if possible, you could help introduce me to the cultivators within those esteemed sects.”

Liu Haolong immediately offered his suggestion and purpose.

Clearly, he understood that for such matters, unless he made his intentions clear, the other party would likely not trust him, let alone allow him to a.s.sist casually.

This was taking advantage of the fact that she had just ascended and was unfamiliar with this realm.

Jiang Anran was obviously aware of this as well.

The reason she had mentioned the names of the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley was to seek some convenience.

After a moment of thought, she nodded slightly to Liu Haolong.

“In that case, I’ll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Liu.

To be frank, having just ascended to the Celestial Floodgate Realm, I’m not very familiar with many things here.

If Fellow Daoist Liu doesn’t mind, perhaps after I’ve settled down a bit here, I could introduce you to the cultivators of those two sects. Would that be agreeable to you?”

“Of course, merely having the opportunity to meet you, Fairy, is already my good fortune.

Whether or not you choose to introduce others is entirely up to you,” Liu Haolong sincerely replied, expressing his true thoughts.

After all, he was facing Jiang Anran.

Helping her meant gaining her favor.

Rather than seeking introductions to others, it was better to deepen their own connection.

It was just that he could not say that so directly at the beginning.

Without further delay, the two of them quickly left the ascension platform.

A few days later.

Liu Haolong brought Jiang Anran to a large immortal city nearby.

This city was not the same as the immortal city that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had ascended to.

Instead, it was an immortal city called Brahma Immortal City.

Here, there was a teleportation array directly leading to Thunderclap Valley.

Of course.

This teleportation array wouldn’t take one directly to Thunderclap Valley but to an immortal city about a million li away from it.

From there, the journey to Thunderclap Valley would not take much longer.

Just as Liu Haolong and Jiang Anran approached the teleportation array to Thunderclap Valley, they were informed that it would not be operational for another month.

This immediately caused Liu Haolong’s brow to furrow.

He was well aware that a month was enough time for any cultivator nearby to learn of Jiang Anran’s ident.i.ty as an ascendant from a lower realm.

This was not good news for either of them.

For him, once others learned of Jiang Anran’s ident.i.ty, they would likely replace him in a.s.sisting and connecting with Jiang Anran, minimizing his role in the process.

For Jiang Anran, the situation was even more delicate.

Although the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley were considered super sects in the Celestial Floodgate Realm, they were not without enemies.

If rival sects learned of Jiang Anran’s connection to these sects, they might not act openly for the time being, but what they did in secret was another matter entirely.

And with his limited capabilities, protecting her would be impossible.

Noticing Liu Haolong’s concern, Jiang Anran looked at him with a slight frown, asking,

“Fellow Daoist Liu, is there a problem with waiting a month for the teleportation array to activate?”

Liu Haolong pondered for a moment before nodding and saying to Jiang Anran,

“Fairy Anran, there are indeed some problems.”

As he spoke, he explained his concerns to Jiang Anran.

When Jiang Anran heard this, she couldn’t help but frown slightly.

Indeed, what Liu Haolong said was not completely unreasonable.

On the contrary, there was a considerable probability that it would happen.

At this moment, a trace of hesitation appeared on Liu Haolong’s face.

Jiang Anran promptly asked, “Fellow Daoist Liu, do you have any suggestions?”

Hearing this, Liu Haolong no longer hesitated and nodded, saying,

“Fairy Anran, I believe that if we were to wait here for a month, the situation could indeed become complicated.

Instead of wasting time here, why don’t we ask the cultivators of Thunderclap Valley if they can do us a favor?

Of course.

This might require you, Fairy Anran, to disclose your connections within Thunderclap Valley.”

“Is that so?”

Upon hearing Liu Haolong’s suggestion, Jiang Anran felt somewhat hesitant.

Honestly, she was not entirely sure about the status of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan within their respective sects.

If their status was not high, mentioning them would be pointless.

However, if she chose not to mention them, arriving at Thunderclap Valley where Shen Ruyan was located might not be so easy.

“In that case, I’ll give it a try,” she finally decided, opting to inquire and see how things would unfold.

Liu Haolong couldn’t help but feel a bit hopeful about this.

When the two approached the teleportation array leading to Thunderclap Valley, the two cultivators in charge there furrowed their brows slightly.

“Haven’t we already told you?

To use this teleportation array, you’ll have to wait a month.”

Hearing this, Jiang Anran immediately responded with a smile,

“Fellow Daoists, my name is Jiang Anran, and I have ascended from the lower realm.

I wish to use your sect’s teleportation array to visit my Shifu in your sect.”

“Ah? You’ve ascended from the lower realm?”

Upon hearing about Jiang Anran’s ident.i.ty, the two Thunderclap Valley cultivators were taken aback.

They momentarily overlooked the latter part of her statement and focused their attention on Jiang Anran.

Soon, their gaze shifted to Liu Haolong beside her.

One of the cultivators, a man in a purple robe, said, “If I’m not mistaken, you must be Liu Haolong from the Flying Cloud Sect, right?

Are you the one responsible for guarding the ascension platform this time?”

“Indeed, that’s me,” Liu Haolong quickly nodded in acknowledgment.

“Is this Fellow Daoist Jiang truly ascended from the ascension platform you were overseeing, as she claims?” the man in the purple robe continued to inquire.

Liu Haolong nodded eagerly, confirming, “Indeed, I brought Fairy Anran here because she mentioned having elders within your sect.”

“Elders in our Thunderclap Valley?”

Hearing Liu Haolong’s words, the man in the purple robe and his companion suddenly took the matter more seriously.

One had to know that their cultivation levels were all at the late-stage Soul Formation.

If Jiang Anran indeed had elders in Thunderclap Valley, those elders would at least be at the Dharma Form stage.

The two exchanged a glance, with the other cultivator, dressed in a black and white robe, asking,

“May I inquire the name of your elder within our Thunderclap Valley, Fairy?”

Without any hesitation, Jiang Anran named “Shen Ruyan.”

“It’s Elder Shen!”

Upon hearing the name Shen Ruyan, both the man in the purple robe and the one in the black and white robe were taken aback.

They had not expected that Jiang Anran would be connected to Elder Shen Ruyan, a prominent figure within their sect.

Currently, Shen Ruyan was not only the direct disciple of Thunderclap Valley’s Valley Master but also a Divine Lord who had reached the Celestial Radiance stage.

Moreover, there had been rumors that she had entered a highly special secret realm within Thunderclap Valley.

If all went well, it wouldn’t be long before Shen Ruyan might break through to the Seethrough stage, elevating her to one of the top positions within Thunderclap Valley.

In an instant, the att.i.tude of both men towards Jiang Anran changed dramatically, becoming much more courteous.

The man in the purple robe said, “So you’re Elder Shen’s junior. In that case, we’re practically family.

Please, do not worry, Fairy Anran. The reason we’ve restricted the teleportation array isn’t without cause. We were capturing a fugitive within the city.

However, since it’s you who needs to use it, there won’t be any issue at all.”
