How is this possible!

Deep within the Sunflame Sect's mountain gate, in a certain cave dwelling, Ziyang True Person was also full of shock and disbelief after receiving a transmission from Tianjing True Person, exclaiming loudly.

His reaction was no less intense than Yinyue True Person's, perhaps even more pronounced.

He even initially suspected that Tianjing True Person was deceiving him!

But reason quickly told him that Tianjing True Person wouldn't lie to him about something like this.

But how could this be possible!!

Ziyang True Person slumped back onto the meditation mat, his expression wooden and speechless for a long while.

No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't comprehend how Zhou Chun managed to swiftly break through the Golden Core Late Stage and successfully transform the elixir to form an infant.

But since it had happened, whether he understood it or not was no longer important—what mattered was how to deal with the changes this event brought.

At that time, he quickly recalled the edict he had issued at the request of his sect leader.

Then his face rapidly darkened, and he couldn't help but mutter, "This is bad! If I had known, I wouldn't have issued that edict!!"

When he first issued the edict, it didn't seem like much.

After all, even if Zhou Chun broke through to the Golden Core Late Stage, he probably wouldn't directly defy the edict; at most, he would find ways to pull strings to plead.

He also prepared for the possibility that Yinyue True Person might intervene and disrupt.

Since the Moon Wheel Sect wouldn't want Sunflame Sect to gain more advantages from Zhou Chun, like refining a peerless dharma treasure.

As long as they could force Zhou Chun to reappear and make him stay put in Jingguo Country without seeking opportunities for nascent soul formation, their goal would be achieved.

However, who would have thought Zhou Chun did indeed return as they wished, but not as a Golden Core Late Stage cultivator, but rather as a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, returning forcefully!

The Golden Core Late Stage and Nascent Soul Early Stage may seem like only one realm apart, but in reality, they are vastly different.

Right now, Ziyang True Person only needed to imagine himself in Zhou Chun's position to know how infuriated he would be upon seeing that edict.

But when he returned to his own perspective, he couldn't help but sigh softly, "I hope this kid shows some sense, then I wouldn't mind giving a generous gift at his nascent soul grand ceremony!"

Yet, he still couldn't help but hold a sliver of hope that Zhou Chun would consider Sunflame Sect and his own standing and refrain from using excessive means against Li Mingxuan, the Golden Elixir Elder of Sunflame Sect.

However, just a day later, receiving the golden silk edict relayed by his subordinates, he was instantly enraged by the words left by Zhou Chun on it.

"How dare the brat deceive me!!"

The furious roar erupted from Ziyang True Person's mouth, as a purplish-red flame rose before him, quickly burning the golden silk edict to ashes.

Subsequently, this Nascent Soul Stage True Person of Sunflame Sect quickly departed from the mountain gate, flying eastward like a purple blazing sun, directly across the sky, heading straight for the Green Lotus Mountain Range situated to the east of Jingguo Country.

On the other hand, just a few hours before Ziyang True Person received that golden silk edict, Zhou Chun, after concluding his meeting with Tianjing True Person, finally had time to deal with Li Mingxuan, the Golden Elixir Elder of Sunflame Sect he had previously sealed and suppressed.

He certainly couldn't be bothered to waste words with this person courting death and chose bluntly to perform a soul search on him.

As expected, someone like Li Mingxuan, a Golden Elixir Elder from a major sect, either practiced secret techniques to resist soul searches or had protective restrictions placed by a Nascent Soul Stage True Person from the sect on his divine soul.

He encountered such protective restrictions during the soul search.

If forcibly breaking through these protective restrictions, it would trigger a backlash, causing the counterpart's divine soul to collapse.

Zhou Chun, although not intending to let Li Mingxuan live, also didn't plan to kill him so soon.

Thus, encountering the protective restrictions during the soul search, he didn't forcibly break through but instead opted to give up.

Even so, it already scared Li Mingxuan half to death, and upon waking up, he repeatedly kowtowed, pleading, "Spare my life, senior, spare my life, whatever you want to know, I will tell you everything without reservation, I beg you, senior, to spare this humble one's life!!"

"Heh, since you're so sensible, I'll spare your life for now!"

Zhou Chun smiled faintly, without hesitation, immediately inquiring about his concerns.

He didn't ask about the Sunflame Sect's secrets, because whether Li Mingxuan knew them or not, he wouldn't dare reveal them, as doing so might still end in death.

So he primarily inquired about the conditions of the Sunflame Sect's two Nascent Soul Stage True Persons, focusing on Ziyang True Person.

As for his sect's two Nascent Soul Stage True Persons, Li Mingxuan undoubtedly had accurate understandings, surely more reliable than the wild rumors outside.

Although revealing these details was offensive to his sect's senior members, Li Mingxuan evidently didn't dare not to speak.

Through interrogating Li Mingxuan, Zhou Chun gained a relatively in-depth understanding of the divine skills of Ziyang True Person and Sunflame Sect's other Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, Baiyang True Person.

According to the information known by Li Mingxuan, Sunflame Sect was currently led by Ziyang True Person, who was always the one traveling outside.

As for the slightly younger Baiyang True Person, reportedly encountered some issues in his cultivation and hasn't left Sunflame Sect's mountain gate for many years, only occasionally appearing before Sunflame Sect's disciples to prove he's still within the mountain gate.
