[Su Lingyuan: Master, you actually...]
[Luo Huangjun: Lingyuan! It's not what you think—this group name was randomly generated by the group chat system. It was not my intention!]
[Luo Huangjun: I'll go change this ridiculous name right now!]
Luo Huangjun was flustered and hurriedly found the modification interface, only to receive a single prompt:
[Ding, the group name can only be modified once.]
Luo Huangjun: ...
[Luo Huangjun: My cultivation can no longer be suppressed. I'm going to break through first.]
Leaving behind this one sentence, everyone then saw that the little avatar representing Luo Huangjun in the group chat dimmed out.
Su Lingyuan: Master, you're acting like this—how am I supposed to believe you?
The group fell silent for a while.
In the end, it was the exceptionally cheerful Dantai Jinglian who broke the silence.
[Dantai Jinglian: Let's stop here for today. I also have things to attend to. If Junior Sister and the two junior nieces still have questions, you can ask little Lingyuan. Remember to add each other as friends—this function is far more useful to us than message jade.]
[Dantai Jinglian: Also, the matter of the Diary Replica must not be disclosed to outsiders, much less let Junior Nephew Chu discover any clues.]
[Dantai Jinglian: Although we don't yet know what consequences there will be if he finds out, it's best to be cautious. After all, you don't want to be the first foolish person to be exposed, do you?]
After leaving these few words behind, Dantai Jinglian's avatar also dimmed out.
Only four people were left in the group. Water Qianrou and her disciples still had some details about the Diary Replica they wished to know. They didn't beat around the bush and directly began questioning Su Lingyuan.
Su Lingyuan was naturally happy to answer everyone's doubts—she had been worrying about having no one to chat with to relieve her boredom anyway.
The four of them soon began chatting animatedly.
At the same time, on the other side—
After finishing his diary entry, Chu Ge directly entered cultivation.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, several more days went by.
Time quietly arrived at the day of the grand competition.
If it were in the past, such a competition among newly recruited disciples would, to the core disciples and the many elders, be nothing more than a minor scuffle, not worth much attention.
But this time was different.
The duel between Ye Chen and Chu Ge had long since spread throughout the entire Taihuang.
Thus, today's grand competition was extraordinarily lively—practically a grand event.
And it wasn't just Taihuang's disciples. Various forces from the Lingzhou (Spirit Continent) had also sent people to observe, making it a highly anticipated affair.
Inside Taihuang Hall.
Inside a room.
Chu Ge awoke from his cultivation, opened his eyes, and divine light burst forth in them.
Benefiting from the Myriad Stars Board and the daily cultivation rewards from the diary, in just a few short days Chu Ge's number of star apertures had already approached 300.
Opening more than ten star apertures in a single day—such a speed could be called unprecedented through the ages!
And he had only set foot on the path of cultivation for barely a month!
Pushing open the door, Chu Ge stepped out of the room and immediately saw Su Lingyuan already waiting, along with the two familiar figures beside her.
"Senior Sister, Junior Sister Fuyao, Junior Sister Tingni."
Chu Ge greeted them with a smile.
He had no idea when Su Lingyuan had formed a connection with this pair of sisters.
During this period of time, the Lu sisters would come to Taihuang Hall from time to time. The three often gathered together, showing clear signs of becoming close boudoir friends.
"Hee-hee!"
