They were actually prepared for Cui Heng to leave.
Ever since he resolved the Scarlet Calamity, Cui Heng became more reclusive. He was in seclusion all year round.
Other than the top group of people in the Heaven Realm, almost no one knew of his existence.
To Pei Qingshu, Li Mingqiong, Hui Shi, and the others, this was not the first time they had experienced such a situation.
When they were on Daozhou Star, the Heavenly Void World, and the Five Views Realm, he had behaved this way as well.
They were already used to it.
However, when Cui Heng left previously, he would bring a few people with him.
Usually, they were the few with the highest cultivation realms.
Only a few of them had the ability to help Cui Heng in the future.
But this time was a little different.
Cui Heng was going to the Great Yan Holy Land next.
That was a place with True World realm experts and legends of the Ancient Kings. It was mysterious and unfathomable.
If they went to a place of this level, be it Li Mingqiong, Pei Qingshu, with their strength that had not even reached the Shattering Realm, they would not be able to do anything at all.
Whether it was Pei Qingshu and Li Mingqiong, Hui Shi, Zheng Nanxun, the Yellow-scarved Strongman, or the others, they knew very well that they were too weak.
The situation in the Great Yan Holy Land was too different from what they were familiar with.
Even if they wanted to follow him, they would definitely not be of much help.
What was the point of following him then?
They might as well work hard to improve themselves in the Heaven Realm and increase their cultivation and strength so that they could go to the Great Yan Holy Land as soon as possible to follow the footsteps left behind by their master.
They could slowly make their way over.
Hence, Pei Qingshu and Li Mingqiong looked at each other and understood what they should do. Then, they said to Cui Heng, “Master, we plan to stay in the Heaven Realm and follow you after we step into the True World realm.”
Hui Shi, who had always thought of himself as Cui Heng’s saber, followed Cui Heng every time.
However, this time, he made a different decision from before and said respectfully, “Immortal Venerable, I plan to stay behind this time and temper myself in the Heaven Realm.”
The others also expressed their thoughts. They wanted to stay in the Heaven Realm, worried that they would become Cui Heng’s burden after going to the Great Yan Sacred Land.
“I haven’t even asked you what you think, but you’re already in such a hurry.” Cui Heng chuckled and said, “Actually, even if you don’t say it yourself, I’ll explain to you clearly this time. I don’t intend to bring any of you over to the Great Yan Holy Land.
Firstly, from our previous understanding, the martial artists of the Great Yan Holy Land are extremely powerful and are not suitable for your cultivation. Secondly, I have a mission for you.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Pei Qingshu, Li Mingqiong, Hui Shi, and the others immediately became serious.
“Master, please instruct us!”
“Please instruct me, Immortal Venerable!”
“Alright.” Cui Heng nodded slightly and smiled. “Actually, it’s not a very difficult mission, but it’s a very important matter that has to be taken seriously.
After I leave, pay attention to the movements of the central silver disc plane. There’s no need to explore it, nor do you need to approach it. You just need to record the changes.”
The silver disc plane in the middle of the Star Sea was extremely mysterious.
According to Tang Yuanshan, this Silver Disc Star Sea was formed after an ancient holy land was destroyed.
Therefore, it was very likely that the central silver disc plane contained the essence of the ancient holy land. Perhaps there were many things and living beings that only existed in legends.
However, Cui Heng had also observed the central silver disc before and realized that there were probably more secrets inside.
Even now, he did not have enough confidence to explore it.
Instead, he planned to break through to the Late-stage Soul Formation realm in the Great Yan Holy Land first.
Then, he would observe the situation of the central silver disc plane again before deciding if he really wanted to go inside.
Before that, it was also very important to observe the external changes in the central silver disc plane.
It could be used as a reference in the future.
Although Pei Qingshu, Li Mingqiong, and the others did not understand why Cui Heng wanted them to observe the central silver disc plane, since it was something Cui Heng had instructed them to do, there must be a deeper meaning.
They had to do their best!
In the end, Cui Heng explained some details and other things to them.
