Chapter 529 The teacher has urgent business to attend to and needs to leave first.
On his way home, Jiang Chen carefully analyzed the entire sequence of events in his mind.
Jiang Chen had a vague idea from the beginning how the Snow God of Tianshan knew that he possessed a divine position.
The root of the problem lies in the Tian Shan snow grass.
Since its inception, very few players have been able to complete the Tianshan Divine Palace dungeon solo within the allotted time, let alone obtain the extra special rewards.
However, the Tianshan snow grass remained there, growing quietly year after year, eventually gathering the power of wind and snow, and transforming into a deity of the water element.
The phantom of snow grass that appeared above the divine spark when the Snow God of Tianshan self-destructed was the best confirmation of Jiang Chen's guess.
"As the ancestral deity of Tianshan Snow Grass, the existence of the Tianshan Snow God is closely linked to the Tianshan Snow Grass of later generations," Jiang Chen muttered to himself, a slight smile on his lips.
"When I obtained the Tianshan Snow Grass, it undoubtedly sensed the divine aura within me."
"That's why it found me outside the instance, but due to the rules of the instance, it couldn't make a direct move. And since I only stayed outside the instance for a short time each time, it could never find an opportunity."
"It wasn't until my return journey that it seized the opportunity and pulled me into the elemental world."
Although this battle did not bring Jiang Chen any substantial benefits, the feeling of personally slaughtering a true god gave him an unprecedented sense of comfort and satisfaction.
"It's a pity that guy was too impulsive. If it had been a little calmer, perhaps it wouldn't have ended up like this." Jiang Chen sighed softly, feeling a pang of regret. "But those who attain godhood are not easily chosen."

In Hong Shen's courtyard, Hong Jishi was leisurely sipping tea, while Li Xueru was not there.
Recently, Li Xueru has been extremely busy, as he is putting all his efforts into setting up the Soul Fusion Array.
This is a massive and complex project that requires meticulous planning across the country.
With the support of the military and the full assistance of Situ Liang, the deployment work proceeded relatively smoothly.
According to Li Xueru's calculations, this unprecedented Soul Fusion Array will be completed in about a month.
For Li Xueru, being able to research and set up such a divine formation was undoubtedly a tremendous challenge and opportunity.
This formation was at the divine level and covered the entire country, encompassing thousands of cities. This was an experience Li Xueru had never had before, and an opportunity he had long dreamed of.
Before leaving, Li Xueru excitedly said that if he could successfully set up this Soul Fusion Array, he would definitely advance to level 96 and become a high-level divine array master.
In the history of humanity, a high-level divine array master has only appeared once—the legendary figure who sealed away the Corpse Realm. However, he also perished after the sealing, forging an immortal legend with his life.
From then on, the human race's admiration and expectations for god-level array masters grew even stronger, but those who could truly reach this level were still extremely rare.
Li Xueru's breakthrough is promising, which has not only earned him respect but also inspired the entire Divine Dragon Empire.
Upon learning this news, Jiang Chen felt genuinely happy for Li Xueru. He knew that Li Xueru's breakthrough was not merely an improvement in personal strength, but also a significant advancement in the field of human formations. One day, Jiang Chen returned to Hong Shen's courtyard and sensed subtle fluctuations in the space. He smiled slightly, knowing that his teacher, Hong Jishi, was summoning him.
He strode into the house, respectfully poured tea for Hong Jishi, and presented it with both hands.
“Teacher, please,” Jiang Chen said.
Hong Jishi looked at Jiang Chen, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, "You encountered a god?"
“Yes, teacher. I encountered a level 90 god.” Jiang Chen replied.
He poured himself a cup of tea; the tea's delicate aroma was just what he needed to calm his mind after the battle.
Hong Jishi asked curiously, "And then what? Gods aren't so easy to deal with."
Jiang Chen described the entire battle in a casual manner, including the self-destruction of the Snow God of Tianshan. Hearing this, Hong Jishi's brows twitched slightly. The power of a god's self-destruction was something even a powerful figure like him had to treat with caution. Yet Jiang Chen had managed to cope unscathed, causing Hong Jishi to re-evaluate his disciple.
“I was originally thinking of helping you clear out the poisonous gas, but it seems that I don’t need to now,” Hong Jishi said.
“In the course of my battle with the Snow God of Tianshan, some people were indeed caught in the crossfire and lost their lives,” Jiang Chen said with some regret. “Among them were people from our Divine Dragon Empire, and some were from other countries.”
Hong Jishi waved his hand dismissively and said, "Those who disobeyed the orders of the Divine Generals are dead and deserve no sympathy. As for people from other countries, they died within the borders of our Divine Dragon Empire; that's their own fault. If any country dares to make a fuss, I will teach them a lesson."
Jiang Chen took out the Tianshan Snow Grass he had just obtained and handed it to Hong Jishi, saying, "Teacher, please take a look at this."
Hong Jishi took the Tianshan Snow Grass, scanned it with his detection spell, and immediately showed a look of surprise on his face, "Good stuff! How did you get it?"
Jiang Chen explained, "I soloed the Tianshan Divine Palace dungeon and received an excellent rating, so the system gave me this extra reward."
Hong Jishi nodded with deep feeling after hearing this, "With your strength, you are fully capable of crushing dungeons of the same level. Especially after your level is higher, even the most difficult dungeons will be a piece of cake for you. It is only natural that you can get this extra reward."
He instructed Jiang Chen to keep the Tianshan Snow Grass safe and study it together when Li Xueru returned. He believed that Li Xueru would know more about this kind of thing.
"But this time, Old Li will probably be studying formations for a long time. I wonder if he'll be able to go to the matchmaking event. His old flames are probably going to be disappointed this time." Hong Jishi suddenly changed the subject, with a hint of teasing.
Jiang Chen was taken aback; how did the topic suddenly shift to Li Xueru's old flame? He shook his head helplessly, never expecting such gossip to exist among teachers.
Hong Jishi continued mysteriously, "You don't know, but when Old Li was young, he was quite the dashing man, with countless suitors. If he ever really comes to his senses, you'd better watch out, he might end up with several more 'master's wives'."
Jiang Chen's lips twitched slightly, thinking that this topic was really getting more and more outrageous. He coughed lightly and changed the subject, saying, "Master Hong, do you have someone you like?"
Hong Jishi's eyes instantly became complicated, a glint of light flashing across them before quickly dimming. He sighed softly, closed his eyes, and seemed lost in some memory.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen realized he might have asked a question he shouldn't have. He wisely refrained from pressing the matter and simply stayed quietly by Hong Jishi's side.
……
As the day of the Divine Stone Dungeon Trial drew near, the entire Fourth Fortress was filled with excitement and anticipation. Young people from various families, factions, and top universities gathered here to exchange ideas and chat.
On the arena specially built by the military, young people sparred and competed for honor. Here, there were not only highly skilled professionals, but also handsome men and beautiful women with outstanding looks and extraordinary charisma.
The older generation busied themselves weaving through the crowd, searching for suitable partners for their young family members. For a moment, the entire fortress was filled with a romantic and passionate atmosphere.
Hong Jishi pointed to the busy figures in the crowd and said to Jiang Chen, "Look, it's only been a few days, and so many young people have come together. That's the charm of the matchmaking event."
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, his eyes searching for Lin Cai'er in the crowd. He sent her a message, but received no reply. He couldn't help but feel a little worried, but thinking that Lin Cai'er was probably busy, he didn't think about it anymore.
Seeing this, Hong Jishi teased, "You only have eyes for Lin Cai'er. There are so many beautiful women in the world, why don't you pick more?" Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and replied, "Master Hong, please don't joke. I only have Cai'er in my heart."
Hong Jishi took a deep breath and continued, "What I mean is that although the Empire advocates the value of monogamy, generals and god-level powerhouses do enjoy certain privileges and it is not inappropriate for them to marry multiple partners."
“Just like your teacher Li, if she were willing, I believe there would be countless suitors lining up to wait for her favor.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen could only smile helplessly and did not intend to comment further.
Before Hong Jishi could finish speaking, a gentle yet powerful voice suddenly rang in his ears.
"Hong Jisuk!"
The voice possessed both feminine tenderness and a formidable heroic spirit, making it pleasant to listen to.
Upon hearing this voice, Hong Jishi seemed to be struck by something, his expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "Xiao Chen, I have urgent business to attend to. We will meet again in three days."
Before he finished speaking, he flashed and disappeared into the horizon.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Chen saw a woman dressed in an elegant white dress rushing towards him.
She looks to be in her thirties, but her appearance is still beautiful and charming, and her temperament is extraordinary.
Watching Hong Jishi flee in panic, the woman snorted and transformed into a streak of light, giving chase.
Clearly, this is also a powerful god-level expert, on par with Hong Jishi.
Hong Jishi was clearly deliberately avoiding this woman.
"It seems that Master Hong is really afraid of her."
A hint of amusement flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes, as if he had discovered an interesting secret, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.
