"Junior Sister Dai, speak cautiously."

Upon hearing Dai Yunfang's words, Lu Yuanshan couldn't help but remind her.

There was still a trace of displeasure on Dai Yunfang's face.

But she also knew that this matter must have been a collective decision by those Celestial Monarch Elders.

Although they were also Holy Land Elders, they were merely Foreign Affairs Elders. There was fundamentally no comparison in terms of rights or status with those Celestial Monarch Elders.

Almost all significant affairs of the Holy Land were jointly decided by those Celestial Monarch Elders, except for the Saint Master and the two Supreme Elders.

Her questioning this matter was essentially questioning the decisions of those Celestial Monarch Elders.

If word got out, even as a Refining Void Divine Monarch within the sect, she might still suffer some minor repercussions.

"Hmm..."

At that moment, Lu Yuanshan, Dai Yunfang, and Pei Guanghua all seemed to sense something.

Their eyes instinctively turned toward the outside of Chongming Hall.

A moment later.

They saw Nangong Jin, who had left Ji Haoyuan earlier, entering with a respectful demeanor.

Seeing it was Nangong Jin, Dai Yunfang, who had been visibly displeased earlier, immediately regained the dignity befitting a Divine Monarch.

Lu Yuanshan, on the other hand, remained as gentle as ever.

However, despite this, Nangong Jin still felt a tremendous pressure.

Without daring to delay, he promptly stated his purpose to the three before him.

Upon hearing this, the three were clearly somewhat surprised.

It was evident they hadn't expected that young fellow to be so eager and to want to challenge the Ten Thousand Laws Map directly.

However, the situation had changed now.

For an ordinary disciple to be promoted to Inner Sect elite disciple by challenging the Ten Thousand Laws Map, passing only the first seven stages was no longer sufficient; they must pass the first eight stages.

Under such circumstances, Ji Haoyuan's chances of success were greatly diminished.

"Senior Brother Lu, why not let him train well for a while first.

Once he ascends to Divinity Transformation, then consider challenging the Ten Thousand Laws Map."

At this point, Dai Yunfang couldn't help but look at Lu Yuanshan.

Though Pei Guanghua said nothing, he apparently shared the same opinion as Dai Yunfang.

However, Lu Yuanshan didn't rush to respond; instead, he looked at Nangong Jin below and thought for a moment before saying:

"Nephew Nangong, considering your interactions with Ji Haoyuan recently, what are your thoughts on this matter?"

Nangong Jin clearly didn't expect Lu Yuanshan to throw such a question to him. After being stunned, he carefully considered it and cautiously replied:

"Reporting to Master Lu, based on my understanding of Nanhua, I believe he's not someone who easily changes his mind."

"Hmph!"

Hearing Nangong Jin's answer, Dai Yunfang was visibly dissatisfied, letting out a light snort through her nose.

This immediately put Nangong Jin in an awkward position, momentarily unsure of how to respond.

Fortunately, Lu Yuanshan didn't make it difficult for him, chuckling and saying:

"Junior Sister Dai, you needn't trouble Nephew Nangong; he was merely telling the truth."

"But Senior Brother Lu..."

Lu Yuanshan clearly knew what Dai Yunfang wanted to say.

He gestured with his hand.

"Alright, Junior Sister Dai, you surely know that since the young fellow managed to seize Thunder Forest Peak and withstand Nephew Shang's pressure, he must indeed have an exceptional spirit.

For people like him, if we suppress them too much, the result might not be favorable.

Since he plans to challenge the Ten Thousand Laws Map at this time, he must have a clear understanding of his current situation.

I actually think that it's rare for him to still have the courage to forge ahead at this moment.

Rather than worrying about those things, wouldn't it be better to let him try?

Perhaps there will be additional surprises for us.

Even if he fails, it doesn't matter.

After all, we are here to back him, and nothing beyond our control will happen."

Having said that, Lu Yuanshan raised his hand.

A jade pendant fell into Nangong Jin's hand.

"Nephew Nangong, please pass this to Ji Haoyuan when you get a chance.

With this item, he should be safe within the Ten Thousand Laws Map.

Also, tell him..."

Lu Yuanshan paused for a moment before continuing:

"Let him go all out.

Whether successful or not, there will be a place for him in the Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land in the future."

"Yes, Master Lu."

Nangong Jin's demeanor was immediately invigorated.

He had already guessed that Ji Haoyuan was favored by Lu Yuanshan and others.

But he never expected that their regard for Ji Haoyuan had reached such a level.

No, to be precise, since he seized Thunder Forest Peak, Lu Yuanshan and the others' regard for Ji Haoyuan had undeniably risen more than a notch.

At this point, he deeply bowed to the three of Lu Yuanshan and then turned to leave Chongming Hall.

Meanwhile.

At Thousand Layers Peak.

This peak was the territory of Shanghuai Mountain.

At that moment, Shang Jie, who had mostly recovered from his injuries, couldn't help but look towards Shanghuai Mountain beside him and angrily said:

"Great-grandfather, is this matter just going to end like this?"

Shanghuai Mountain cast a cold glance at him and said indifferently:

"Oh? Do you think you have the ability to settle accounts with that guy?

If you had managed to hold on a bit longer, things wouldn't have turned out this way."

Under Shanghuai Mountain's slightly cold gaze, Shang Jie suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an icy abyss.

Inexplicably, his heart trembled.

But he still gritted his teeth, looked directly into Shanghuai Mountain's eyes, and said:

"Grandson didn't mean that. It's just that I feel that guy is merely some fellow from a remote region, daring to confront you and disregarding your dignity. In my heart, I can't help but feel indignant."

"Is that so?"

Shanghuai Mountain stared into Shang Jie's eyes.

Seeing his steady gaze, his dissatisfaction and anger subsided slightly.

After a moment.

His tone softened slightly, but he still said indifferently:

"Don't worry, this matter won't simply end like this.

If it did, what would others in the sect think of me?

Especially Nangong Jin, as if I'm actually afraid of them.

But you don't have to worry about this matter.

For you, the upcoming task is just one: strive to break through to Divinity Transformation.

One must know, for us cultivators, everything ultimately depends on cultivation realm.

With sufficient cultivation realm, even if your magic and divine techniques are lacking, you can still absolutely crush opponents one realm below you.

Of course.

Situations like today will never happen again.

Do you understand?"

"Yes, grandson remembers Great-grandfather's teachings!"

Shang Jie's expression immediately became respectful.
