"One day more than 20 years ago, the Sun family in Dingxingcheng received a cradle. Yes, the child in the cradle was me, and the designated recipient of this cradle, my father, was no longer in this world." Sun Zhong recalled.

"My father is not in this world, and my mother is still alive. When I go to see my biological mother, I almost became my only goal. For a long time, I was almost the only goal.

Who is my mother? What does she look like? Is she doing well? Why did she abandon me? These problems have been tormenting me and causing me to suffer. During my growing up, I imagined more than once that one day she would suddenly appear in front of me, but this was just my imagination, and this situation had never happened.

The only one who knows the situation of my biological mother is our Sun family's head, that is, my great-grandfather Sun Hao. He promised me that as long as I can obtain the Jiulong Cauldron for the family, he will tell me what my mother is doing..."

Ding Yi frowned slightly, thought for a while, and asked, "Nine Dragon Cauldron, is our Southeast World Challenge?"

Sun Zhong nodded and said, "That's right!"

It turns out that this Nine Dragon Cauldron is a bronze cauldron made by the ancient Liuhua Continent and the Great Song Dynasty, with a nine dragon pattern on it.

The Great Song Kingdom was once the most powerful country on the Liuhua Continent. At that time, cultivators devoted themselves to practicing Taoism and pursued immortality. They almost did not interfere in the mortal realm, and allowed people in the mortal realm to fight to death.

It is said that more than a thousand years ago, Honghe changed its route and this ancient treasure was discovered in Dingxingcheng. Legend has it that whoever gets this big tripod will have the luck of winning the world and becoming the master of Liuhua Continent.

This is also the origin of the name of the World Challenge. Before the Shenwu Empire was rising, the World Challenge was almost the highest-level event in Liuhua Continent.

After the founding of the Shenwu Empire, the highest-level event was of course the Lotus Championship. It won the World Challenge Championship and finally fell into it, but became a local event.

The Nine Dragon Cauldron is just a bronze cauldron, and it is also a treasure that mortals compete for. Although it has a resounding name, after the Shenwu Empire unified the world, fewer and fewer people were interested in signing up for the competition.

Even so, it is not easy to obtain this Jiulong Cauldron.

Sun Zhong further explained to Ding Yi: "Winning the World Challenge, later on, it was actually just a traditional event preserved between Dingxing, Taoyuan, Huangyuan, Cidian, Wangbei, and several cities. There are many restrictions on participating in the competition. To put it bluntly, it is the traditional event where thirty-six cultivation families conduct competitions every five years."

Ding Yi said: "So, if you leave the academy and participate in this competition, will you win the championship in the end?"

Sun Zhong sighed a little, sighed, and said to Ding Yi: "It would never be possible for me to win this championship without Junior Brother Ding. My great-grandfather set this question for me at that time, and originally wanted me to retreat and not to look for my mother. But he didn't expect that I learned puppet from you and finally carried the Nine Dragon Cauldron back."

Ding Yi said: "So, your mother is from Tianyuan Continent. You later left Liuhua Continent and went to Tianyuan Continent, right?"

Sun Zhong looked a little lonely, and he said in a deep voice: "Junior brother, you guessed."

Sun Zhong did not talk about his experience of finding his mother. It can be seen that Sun Zhong's journey to find his relatives was probably not as Sun Zhong expected, so Ding Yi did not ask again.

Ding Yi patted Sun Zhong on the shoulder and said softly: "Old Sun, I blame you for your mistakes. I apologize to you. You always go alone and never tell others if you have any worries. No wonder everyone misunderstood you."

Speaking of this, Ding Yi asked again: "You won't know what I have. Do you want to tell me?"

Sun Zhong said: "I am from Xuanji Society, so I will naturally leave with you, the president. There is nothing to say."

Ding Yi would not have pulled Sun Zhong into his camp so quickly. Although Ding Yi admired Sun Zhong very much, he would not trust him without reservation just because of Sun Zhong's words. After all, it was because Sun Zhong was too "independent" and unlike Zhou Yu and others, who could make Ding Yi quickly let go of his guard.

However, Ding Yi would not extinguish Sun Zhong's enthusiasm at this time.

Ding Yi was in a much better mood, and he gently punched Sun Zhong.

"You are under Teacher Nie's school, and your future is bright. You are worried all day long. Don't worship the wrong dock. You know, I am the number one wanted criminal in the world." Ding Yi said softly.

"I joined Wuqing Sect because that woman arranged it. Although Master Nie is not bad to me, I still prefer to learn from you. Wuqing Tao is the way of destruction and the way of killing, and I don't like it very much." Sun Zhongdao.

‘That woman?’ Ding Yi was stunned at first, but he immediately reacted. It seemed that Sun Zhong had a lot of resentment towards his mother.

Ding Yi couldn't help but feel a little sympathy. His senior brother Sun Zhong got up. Ding Yi smiled slightly. He glanced at Sun Zhong and said, "You are almost forgetting everything I taught you about the puppet technique."

Sun Zhong said: "I am the senior brother of Xuanji Society. Although I can't study puppet technology openly over the years, as long as I have time, I will still study it privately. It's just that I am not as profound as you."

Sun Zhong and Quanhuangzhi are both talented, stunning comprehension and extraordinary learning talents. If not, Ding Yi would not have favored him particularly.

"Old Sun, I went to sea this time to perform a special task. I hope you can cooperate with me with all your strength. I can't tell you what the specific task is yet. I hope you can cooperate with me." Ding Yi's expression became serious.

Sun Zhong said: "I understand, just trust me."

Ding Yi was also very pleased to see Sun Zhong so reasonable.

The beach is the periphery of Kanhong Island. If you don’t need to look closely on the island, you will know that there must be strict guards and strict defenses here.

Sun Zhong touched Ding Yi with his arm and said, "I heard that there is a prediction team under Master Daoyuan. Maybe they are on this island. Are you not careful and you are seen through?"

Ding Yi said: "I have learned soul art with a saint from the Witch Sect and can freely change the breath of life. These prediction masters are not so easy to calculate mine."

Ding Yi did not tell Sun Zhong the truth. He didn't know that he was a time monk. In fact, the senior officials of the empire had known it for a long time. However, Daoyuan was also very clear. He knew that if this matter spread, it would greatly affect morale. Some cultivators might even withdraw from the action of clearing out the mirage because Ding Yi was a time monk and did not follow the order of summoning.

Space is respect, time is king. This sentence has a considerable influence in the world of cultivation. Even if it is the source of Tao, I first learned that Ding Yi was practicing time.

The scholar was also panicked, not to mention other people.

"I heard that you were a mid-level Xuan-level monk last year. Why did you want to dress up as a feather-level monk? Don't you know, will this attract special attention?" Sun Zhong couldn't help but remind Ding Yi.

Ding Yi sighed and said, "There was a little trouble in his practice, which led to a lot of regression in his cultivation. I don't want to attract attention. In fact, this is impossible."

Sun Zhong said: "What do you need? Even if you tell me, brothers, mine is yours. Although I am not capable, ordinary Xuan-level monks can still deal with it..."

Ding Yi smiled and nodded and said, "Okay, if I need it, I will definitely speak to my senior brother."

From time to time on Kanhong Island, great masters flew over, and their subordinates and followers were mostly left on the outer island like Ding Yi and Sun Zhong.

Sun Zhong is a handsome Xuan-level monk. It can be seen that he is not very old. Many people want to talk to him. However, the younger monk around him has a good appearance and his cultivation level is only at the feather level. Seeing that the two of them seemed to have a very harmonious conversation, everyone was a little disappointed, and basically stopped the idea of ​​coming over to make friends with them.

Sun Zhong is a bit introverted. He does not like to deal with strangers. Ding Yi is in danger and does not want to talk to strangers. They stay away from the crowd and enjoy themselves instead.

However, there are always some alternatives in this world, and some people still come to them.

"I'm the King of Jianmen. This is my junior sister Zhang Sihuai. I have met two senior brothers." The one who came here to talk about this was actually two lively beauties.

This is really strange. There are many this year.

Ding Yi knew that Sun Zhong didn't like dealing with strangers, so he stepped forward and said, "We are my senior brother Sun Zhong, and my younger brother is called Shadao."

The beautiful swordsman named Zhang Sihuai laughed and said, "The Wuqing Sect is also a sect in the Tianyuan Continent. How could he send Junior Brother Sha? A disciple like you, a feather-level disciple?"

Ding Yi knew that the other party was mostly trying to talk to Sun Zhong and use his cultivation to make things happen, just to find an excuse.

Ding Yi himself has married, and he is very self-disciplined, so he naturally doesn't want to cause trouble. Besides, the two female cultivators are looking for Sun Zhong, not him, so he smiled and took a step back consciously.

"I am Master Nie Fengyun, a disciple whom I have accepted halfway through. I have poor qualifications and low cultivation, which makes the two senior sisters laugh." Ding Yi said.

The beautiful swordsman named Wang Qingyu almost never left Sun Zhong with his wonderful eyes. At this time, she asked Sun Zhong: "I wonder Brother Sun, which mental method are you practicing?"

Sun Zhong was a little helpless and had to tell the truth.

The Xinjian Sect is also a sect of the Tianyuan Continent. These two beautiful swordsmen seem to be very talkative. Just because their sects are both on the Tianyuan Continent, they took this opportunity to actively talk to Sun Zhong.

As the saying goes, men chase women and cross the mountains, women chase men and cross the layers of veil. These two female cultivators from the Heart Sword Sect came over to talk to Sun Zhong openly. It can be seen that they have a good impression of Sun Zhong.
