The next day.

Wang Zhixing brought his son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter to the Cloud Mountain Guesthouse early in the morning.

Apart from Jin Bao, everyone else was cultivating in the sect.

As the butler, Jin Bao provided exemplary service and made tea for them.

Jin Bao recognized Wang Zhixing and knew that his relationship with Qin Chuan was better than most of his disciples. Hence, he was extremely enthusiastic in his reception.

"Butler Jin, I'll go get the Sect Master. You stay here and help take care of my family. Don't let them wander around," Wang Zhixing said politely.

"Rest assured, Lord Wang, I will definitely take care of them well," Jin Bao said seriously.

Then, Wang Zhixing informed his family and left for the sect.

Qin Chuan had set up a teleportation array in the courtyard of each residence.

This way, it would save him the trouble of picking people up.

Wang Zhixing formed a seal with his hands and silently chanted a spell. Then, the space around him suddenly distorted, creating circles of ripples before he disappeared.

After a few minutes, he appeared again, now with Qin Chuan beside him.

They arrived at the pavilion.

Wang Jiajun and the others weren't too surprised to see Qin Chuan. From the moment his father told him about cultivating, he had already guessed it was related to Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan greeted them.

After chatting for a while, he brought them into the sect.

This was their first time entering a sect, and they looked very shocked, not that different from those elderly from before.

The towering mountain gate, the soaring golden dragons and phoenixes, the majestic main hall—everything seemed like a dream to them, yet it felt so real.

"Grandpa Wang, you should be familiar with the process of guiding people into cultivation. You shall guide your family," Qin Chuan said.

"Yes, Sect Master!" Wang Zhixing cupped his hands and bowed slightly.

After Qin Chuan left, Wang Zhixing led his family through the gates.

When Wang Jiajun passed through the gates, his body lit up with a glow.

In an instant, he felt his head brighten. His six senses became more sensitive. Even the air he inhaled had become fragrant.

It was the same for his wife and daughter.

With their spiritual roots awakened, a new world opened up for them.

At the same time, Qin Chuan received system notifications.

"Ding! Wang Jiajun has awakened a Heavenly Spirit Root. The host has received 10 points."

"Ding! Lin Juan has awakened a Heavenly Spirit Root. The host has received 10 points."

"Ding! Wang Huan Huan has awakened a Heavenly Spirit Root. The host has received 10 points."

Ever since the sect was upgraded, the quality of the spiritual roots awakened in people had improved. However, for people like Wang Zhixing and his family, it had more to do with their individual aptitude.

This made sense; their family's potential was better than that of ordinary people.

That was obvious from their line of work.

Wang Zhixing used to be a scientific researcher, but later, he joined the education industry and became a university professor.

And his son was once the first in command of an essential organization in Beichuan.

His daughter-in-law was a prosecutor with a rather high rank.

His granddaughter, Huan Huan, on the other hand, had consumed the Enlightenment Pill that Qin Chuan had worked on. Her potential was higher than the other three.

After they awakened their spirit roots, they went through the cleansing of the Spirit Spring to reshape their constitution and finally learned the breathing exercises.

Because the three of them had excellent aptitudes, Huan Huan was the first to draw Qi into her body after about five minutes, followed by Wang Jiajun and finally Lin Juan.

From now on, they had embarked on the path of immortality.

Wang Zhixing revealed a satisfied smile as he watched his family earnestly cultivate.

After a while, he left the training hall and went to look for Qin Chuan.

"Sect Master!" Wang Zhixing cupped his hands and bowed.

Qin Chuan asked out of habit, "Grandpa Wang, did something happen?"

Wang Zhixing nodded. "There is indeed something I need to report to Sect Master."

Qin Chuan raised his brows and asked with interest, "Please speak."

Wang Zhixing then told Qin Chuan about his experience in the Eastern Sea.

Hearing that a monster had appeared in the Eastern Sea, Qin Chuan was a little surprised.

After studying the monsters he had captured earlier, he believed that he understood them.

First of all, he could be certain that the monsters were similar to hibernating animals. They were currently in a state of deep sleep and usually would not show themselves.

But this time, three appeared at once in the Eastern Sea. This was truly unusual.

Qin Chuan couldn't help but wonder if the monsters had begun to awaken.

If all the monsters were to wake up, it would be equivalent to an apocalyptic disaster for the world.

Currently, the people in the sect had yet to reach the level where they could contend against the monsters.

If the monsters had come out of seclusion, it would affect his cultivation career.

Because of this, that night, Qin Chuan rushed to the Eastern Sea with Huang Huang and the Bamboo Spirit.

The Eastern Sea was now on full alert. The fighter jets in the sky, warships, and aircraft carriers stopped on the sea.

Through the Aura Examination Technique, he could sense the remnants of the monsters' aura and the traces left behind by the bombings, but there was mainly resentment.

The resentment came from the tourists.

After all, thousands of lives were lost in a flash.

Qin Chuan sighed. In front of absolute strength, human lives were nothing.

After observing for a while, Qin Chuan discovered that two of the beasts had been destroyed by the military.

The other one must have escaped.

Thus, he patted Huang Huang's head. "Huang Huang, smell this. Can you track that monster?"

Qin Chuan knew that it hadn't even been a day since the monster left, so he thought Huang Huang could find it.

Huang Huang nodded and sniffed around seriously.

As for the Bamboo Spirit sitting on its head, Qin Chuan didn't ask, but it started to sniff on its own accord.

A few minutes later.

Huang Huang's eyes sparkled as he looked to the southeast and barked a few times.

Qin Chuan frowned. "Let's go."

Following Huang Huang's directions, Qin Chuan flew at high speed.

Ten minutes later, he stopped.

This was an unknown sea area. The environment was extremely harsh.

The bone-chilling sea breeze howled like the cries of ghosts and wolves while thunderclouds filled the sky above. Lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled as if the end of the world had arrived.

"Is it below?" Qin Chuan asked.

Huang Huang nodded firmly.

Qin Chuan released his divine consciousness.

The depth of this sea exceeded the range of his divine consciousness.

Hence, Qin Chuan executed the water avoiding spell and dived into the sea.

As he dived deeper, he quickly found the level-two monster.

Presently, the level-two monster's eyes were closed. It seemed to be deep in sleep.

But when Qin Chuan appeared in front of it, it suddenly opened its eyes, and a violent aura instantly spread out like a shockwave from an explosion.

When it saw Qin Chuan, the level-two monster's eyes were filled with hostility. Then, it brandished its sharp claws and attacked.

Qin Chuan's figure flashed, easily dodging the attack.

The next moment, the seawater around him boiled as energy particles continuously gathered in the body of the level-two monster.

Qin Chuan's countenance changed. He was extremely shocked.

This was the first time he had seen a monster attack in such a manner.

That was because the monsters he had killed earlier were all hibernating.

To his surprise,

The level-two monster opened its mouth. Threads of energy gathered in front of its mouth and formed an energy ball.

Qin Chuan blinked his eyes as he thought of a certain scene from a cartoon.

Bijudama???

With the energy infused in the ball, it repeatedly compressed and expanded. The energy fluctuations it emitted became stronger and stronger.

However, Qin Chuan had a calm expression on his face, as though he wasn't worried at all.

The level-two monster roared, and energy waves followed.

The energy wave this time was several times larger than what destroyed the hotel last night.

At this moment, Huang Huang, standing on Qin Chuan's shoulder, suddenly jumped away and appeared in front of Qin Chuan…
