“Remember, be very careful,” Gu Chaoyan emphasized with seriousness.

Little Junior Sister held the Dharma artifact and nodded solemnly.

“Ziluo is quite insincere. Even if she approaches me, it’s likely just to extract something without taking any risks. That woman is very cunning. Not only me, but also you, Little Junior Sister, must stay vigilant around her,” Gu Chaoyan warned.

Having conveyed her caution, Gu Chaoyan intended to provide guidance to Little Junior Sister on the art of beast taming.

As she turned around, there was no one behind her.

Gu Chaoyan sighed awkwardly, realizing she might have been too long-winded and Little Junior Sister had likely gone off to amuse herself.

With Little Junior Sister out for some recreation, Gu Chaoyan settled down to contemplate her own matters.

In the realm of cultivation, tea-drinking wasn’t a prevalent pastime; instead, interest focused on various types of pills. Hence, Gu Chaoyan had planted some tea trees in her personal space. Nourished by the Holy Spirit Water, the tea produced had a delightful fragrance.

During idle moments, she would sit here, sipping tea, and pondering various things.

Gu Chaoyan cherished these peaceful days.

The day of the Anicca Race’s competition was approaching.

While the annual competition held lesser significance for most, as almost everyone met the required standards and few faced expulsion from the clan, it carried great importance for individuals like Kang Shi. His cultivation had stagnated for years, and if there was no improvement soon, he might be deemed unsuitable for further cultivation.

At present, his cultivation had already reached the First Heaven of the Martial King Realm, which should be sufficient to handle the upcoming competition.

Even Kang Yan and Ziluo, considered geniuses, were only at the pinnacle of the Martial Emperor Realm. Kang Shi was no different from them, and he had no plans to draw excessive attention to himself at the moment; he knew there was a long journey ahead.

Having organized her thoughts, Gu Chaoyan shifted her focus to the matter concerning the Clan Leader.

She had identified the faction controlled by the First Elder within the Anicca Race. Her plan was to dismantle them methodically. Therefore, her priority remained refining pills, as only through this could she elevate the Clan Leader, Kang Shi, and the select individuals Kang Shi trusted. Ultimately, she aimed to create a support system of her own.

Simultaneously, she intended to cultivate her own group of supporters after the competition.

Post-competition, as everyone witnessed Kang Shi’s cultivation level, the perception of the Clan Leader’s son being inept vanished. As long as he wasn’t considered incompetent, people were eager to align themselves with him.

The path forward looked promising.

Kang Shi resumed his quiet cultivation.

Meanwhile, Kang Yan grew increasingly frustrated.

Ever since his father disclosed certain matters to him, Kang Yan had been yielding to Ziluo. However, his compliance didn’t deepen Ziluo’s affection for him; instead, it fueled her arrogance and disdain. She no longer cared about him.

Previously, she had some trepidation towards him, but now, all reservations were gone.

Kang Yan, despite understanding certain principles, reached a point where he couldn’t tolerate the situation any longer.

His heart was truly not aligned with the Great Dao.

After a heated argument, Kang Yan stormed angrily to seek out the First Elder.

Slamming the table heavily, the First Elder expressed his frustration. “Is that why you’re here?”
