Returning to Qing Yun

Small Pond Town,

After obtaining Zhou Yi Xian's Escape Technique, Jiang Ming studied it for several days and finally managed to perform it in a preliminary manner. However, Jiang Ming's own execution was much more precise than Zhou Yi Xian's, and the distance he could cover was also incomparable.

Today was the fifteenth, the night of the full moon, when the Full Moon Well would display its wondrous abilities. After eating, Jiang Ming headed straight for the woods outside Black Stone Cave. He didn't want to wait another month. After all, he had been out for some time. Obtaining the other volumes of the Heavenly Book wasn't the right time yet, so he could only wait for an opportunity. There was no need to stay outside any longer. He should return to Qing Yun and learn Tian Buyi's alchemy techniques and the Divine Sword Lightning Control True Art.

Before long, Jiang Ming found the Full Moon Well in the woods outside Black Stone Cave. Looking at it up close, Jiang Ming didn't find anything particularly special about it. It was just an ordinary well. He prepared to use his divine sense to investigate the well, but when his divine sense entered the well, he saw nothing but well water, moss on the well walls, mud, sand, and stones. He didn't feel anything different at all. At this point, Jiang Ming was even more curious and certain that there was indeed a problem with the Full Moon Well. Wasn't the biggest problem the fact that there was no problem?

Jiang Ming slowly withdrew his divine sense, sat by the well, and began to ponder, occasionally looking up at the sky to see if the full moon had arrived.

"The full moon has appeared..." Jiang Ming, who was looking up at the sky, saw the full moon and immediately stood up, looking down into the well. At this moment, everything was silent. Jiang Ming looked at the well, and after only a short while, he raised his head.

However, his expression was completely normal. No one knew what Jiang Ming had seen. What was the person or thing he loved? No one knew. Jiang Ming didn't speak, and remained silent for a long time. He even forgot his mission to explore the Full Moon Well. He should have known that this was the best time. He was alone here, in silence, so naturally no one else would remind him.

Only after some time did Jiang Ming finally come back to his senses. He didn't think about continuing to explore and went straight back the way he had come.

The next day, Small Pond Town Inn

At noon, Jiang Ming, full and satisfied, finally embarked on the road back to Qingyun Sect, his face restored to its usual radiance. He took out his sword and slowly flew towards Qingyun Mountain. If anyone saw him, they would definitely say, "Is this really traveling? It's clearly sightseeing!" The speed was extremely slow, not much faster than walking.

What should have been about half a month of sword flight was stretched to two months by Jiang Ming. This guy would fly for a little while and then come down to find something to eat and drink. He would stop to sleep at night and didn't even fly according to the route. He completely turned the journey into a culinary adventure, which was truly unexpected.

"Ah... it's here so soon. Happy times are indeed short," Jiang Ming said with emotion as he looked at the Qingyun gate at the foot of the mountain. However, Jiang Ming smiled as he went up Qingyun Mountain and headed towards Da Zhu Peak.

Da Zhu Peak, in front of Shou Jing Hall,

Standing outside Shou Jing Hall, Jiang Ming looked at the plaque and was filled with emotion. When he first arrived, he had also stood outside Shou Jing Hall, but at that time, Master Shui Yue had led him up Da Zhu Peak.

Although Jiang Ming was curious about Qingyun Dao Arts at the time, it wasn't as if he had to join Qing Yun. He had an attitude of letting things take their course. Later, he entered Da Zhu Peak. In the two years, he found that Tian Buyi, Fatty Tian, was always tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Although Master Su Ru was equally strict with the senior brothers, she hoped that they could surpass others. Even though they hadn't made progress for many years, she always had hope, just like parents always hope that their children can become dragons and phoenixes. Even if they don't become successful, they are still precious in their hearts. Tian Ling'er was always quirky and very clever, but later, how could she favor Qi Hao, who was so old? This had always puzzled Jiang Ming. The senior brothers often joked and laughed together, and it was very warm!

"Jiang Ming, you're back from the mountain. Why are you standing in front of the hall and not going in? Master and Mistress will definitely be very happy to know you're back..." Song Daren saw Jiang Ming suddenly standing blankly in front of Shou Jing Hall and was very excited.

"Oh! It's Senior Brother Daren! I was thinking about something and got a little distracted, and forgot for a moment..."

"How is Da Zhu Peak after I left? Are Master and Mistress still the same as before?" Jiang Ming asked Song Daren with a questioning tone. He suddenly wanted to know the situation of Da Zhu Peak, whether it had changed because of his departure.

When Song Daren heard Jiang Ming say this, he walked over and patted Jiang Ming on the shoulder, saying with a slightly excited tone, "After you left, Master and Mistress were the same as before. They used you as teaching material from time to time and trained us from time to time. It's just that without you, we're a little unaccustomed... By the way, after you went down the mountain, Master took in another disciple named Zhang Xiao Fan. He's still in the three-year study phase and occasionally helps Sixth Senior Brother... Let's go see Master and Mistress first. They will definitely be happy to see you back."

"Then let's go...!" Jiang Ming then followed Song Daren towards the inner hall.

As soon as he entered Shou Jing Hall, Song Daren shouted loudly, "Master, Mistress, look who's back."

As soon as he entered the inner hall, he saw Master and Mistress sitting inside, drinking tea, seemingly talking about something. They heard Song Daren's voice from afar, and were about to reprimand Song Daren when they saw Jiang Ming and Song Daren walking into the inner hall together. Tian Buyi suddenly said to the familiar face at the door, "Seventh?"

Su Ru heard this and looked towards the door: "Ming'er? You're back from the mountain?"

Jiang Ming walked up to them, cupped his hands to Su Ru and Tian Buyi, and said, "Reporting to Master and Mistress, disciple Jiang Ming has returned from the mountain. This trip was very smooth, and I have now found my magic weapon, please see..."

"Clang..." Jiang Ming then took out the Soaring Frost Sword and presented it to Tian Buyi and Su Ru with both hands.

"A good sword, not at all inferior to the Nine Heavens Divine Weapon. It seems you have gained a lot from this trip," Tian Buyi looked at Jiang Ming's sword. Just as he was about to pick it up, Tian Buyi felt a suction force coming from the sword as soon as he grasped the hilt. The sword trembled non-stop, wanting to absorb Tian Buyi's cultivation, startling Tian Buyi to release the sword.

"Buyi, what's wrong?"

"Master?"

"Seventh, this sword of yours?" Tian Buyi looked at his hand, his eyes becoming cold, looking at Jiang Ming, with a questioning tone.

Seeing this, Jiang Ming immediately understood what was happening. I was still careless, he thought. Especially with the material of this Soaring Frost Sword, he had specially asked Sword Worship Villa and Iron God Island in Wind and Cloud to jointly recast it. After that strengthening, its power had completely increased, and correspondingly, the requirements for the sword holder had become higher. Then he said, "Reporting to master, this sword is called Soaring Frost Sword, also known as Life and Death Soaring Frost Sword. It is made of a special material and has two sides to it. One side is called Heart Sword, which governs life, and the other side is called Demon Sword, which governs death. Divine swords are spiritual, and when held, they will change according to the changes in the sword heart of the holder. If someone other than the sword's master picks it up, they will suffer the sword's backlash. Just now, master suffered the backlash of the Soaring Frost Sword."

"What? There is such a strange sword?"
