Lin Feng added, "There are ten peaks beside the sect's main peak. You may choose any one of them to live on."
"From now on, it shall be called Xuanyuan Peak. It will be your territory, and all the resources within will be at your disposal."
"From today onward, the sword cultivators of my Divine Sword Sect will be entirely under your command."
"Furthermore, you may recruit disciples yourself. This Sect Master will not interfere."
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Xuanyuan Qingtian was somewhat bewildered.
Was this Sect Master being far too generous? Could he possibly be plotting something against her?
For a moment, her little mind could not stop wandering into wild thoughts.
But she quickly felt that it was impossible. She cast aside all her distracting thoughts, her expression turning sincere. "Thank you for your generous gift, Sect Master Lin. Xuanyuan Qingtian will surely remember it in her heart."
From that moment on, Xuanyuan Qingtian faintly began to feel a trace of belonging here.
Seeing Xuanyuan Qingtian's unpretentious expression, Lin Feng smiled and nodded. Then his figure flashed, and he vanished.
Elsewhere.
After weaving through twists and turns, Ye Xuan arrived at the side peak where the Handyman Disciples lived and cultivated.
The moment he stepped through the gate, he saw a figure built like a black iron tower practicing boxing there.
There was not the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power around this person. He was simply far too ordinary.
Even the boxing technique he practiced looked terribly awkward. His punches were as slow as a turtle's, soft and feeble, without the slightest bit of force.
It was plainly a health-preserving boxing technique that an old man would use to exercise his body.
Yet after watching carefully for a moment, Ye Xuan discovered that the boxing technique contained some elusive profundity.
He simply could not say where that profundity lay.
In any case, it could not be underestimated. It concealed great terror.
"So this must be Senior Disciple Brother?"
"Senior Disciple Brother looks burly and rough, with nothing remarkable about him, but he actually possesses an unyielding Martial Path Heart."
"Given time, he will surely shine brilliantly."
Ye Xuan muttered a few words to himself, then quickly stepped forward and called out, "Senior Disciple Brother!"
Before his voice had faded, Ye Jingyun suddenly turned around, a trace of confusion in his eyes. "You are?"
Ye Xuan grinned. "I'm Ye Xuan, the Handyman Disciple Esteemed Sect Master just recruited. I hope Senior Disciple Brother will take good care of me from now on."
Hearing this, Ye Jingyun gave an honest smile. "My name is Ye Jingyun. Welcome to the Divine Sword Sect, Junior Brother. I'll first show you around the sect."
Ye Xuan immediately nodded. "Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Brother."
He had been about to bring this up himself, but who would have thought that Ye Jingyun would take the initiative so warmly?
Ye Xuan thought to himself, This Senior Brother is quite good. Esteemed Sect Master truly has a good eye.
At the same time.
Within the elders' cultivation chamber on Xuanyuan Peak.
Xuanyuan Qingtian sat cross-legged, her expression solemn.
In the air before her floated two objects that radiated sacred soul auras.
They were naturally system-produced items: the Chaos Jade and the Ninth Grade Yin-Yang Sacred Lotus.
"Sect Master Lin's foundations are unfathomable."
"He casually gave me such peerless treasures of heaven and earth."
"Whatever his intentions may be, the fact remains that he has helped me tremendously. It seems that I must devote myself to assisting him in accomplishing great ambitions in the future."
Xuanyuan Qingtian made her decision.
Then, she formed a sword with two fingers of her right hand and pointed forward. The Ninth Grade Yin-Yang Sacred Lotus scattered a curtain of starlight that enveloped her.
In an instant, torrent-like energy exploded within her body, while countless streams of soul energy converged toward her mind.
She did not dare delay. Closing her eyes, she focused wholeheartedly on fusing with this energy.
If anyone had been present at that moment, they would certainly have seen countless firefly-like points of light wrapping around her body.
As time passed, the points of light around her grew fewer and fewer, while her soul body became increasingly solid. Without touching it, it would have been difficult to tell that it was not flesh and blood.
The Ninth Grade Yin-Yang Sacred Lotus truly deserved to be called a legendary sacred relic. During this process, it not only rapidly solidified Xuanyuan Qingtian's soul body, but directly reconstructed a physical body for her.
The lotus seed became her heart, the lotus fibers became her bones, the lotus stamens became her meridians, and the lotus flower became her appearance... A lotus-root body resplendent with countless rays of light gradually took shape.
Gradually, gradually, that lotus-root body drew closer to Xuanyuan Qingtian, merged into her body, and reconstructed her physical form.
Wave after wave of mysterious aura continuously emanated from her body.
At that moment, a Divine Phoenix Phantom suddenly appeared above Xuanyuan Qingtian's head. Purple Qi Eastward, and heavenly phenomena appeared one after another.
Several hours later, the phenomena vanished.
Xuanyuan Qingtian slowly opened her eyes, unable to suppress the excitement and joy within them.
The Ninth Grade Yin-Yang Sacred Lotus had been completely refined.
She possessed a physical body once more, one even more perfect and powerful than her previous body.
Her skin was fairer than snow, crystalline and translucent, with a faint gleam flowing over its surface. She truly possessed icy skin and jade-like bones.
Her figure was even more flawless, as though carved by knife and chiseled by axe. One fraction more would have made her plump; one fraction less would have made her thin.
At some unknown point, a small golden sword-shaped mark had appeared between her brows, making her seem mysterious, noble, and boundlessly domineering.
"Ah?!!"
Coming back to her senses, Xuanyuan Qingtian could not help letting out a cry.
Having just reconstructed her body, she was clearly in the state of a newborn infant, with not a thread on her. Her body, enough to make heaven and earth lose their color, was completely exposed to the air.
Panicking, she looked around, grabbed a white dress, and hastily put it on.
"Good thing there's no one here. Otherwise, I'd be too ashamed to face anyone."
A faint blush instantly rose onto Xuanyuan Qingtian's cold face, and her eyes could not conceal her deep embarrassment.
Though she had been a mighty Saint in life, she was still an unmarried young woman at heart. When had she ever suffered such embarrassment?
But her delight quickly broke through her shyness, because she had now reconstructed her body and recovered a portion of her strength, reaching the Human Immortal Realm.
Although she was still far from her peak, she had already taken the most important step. Returning to her peak was merely a matter of time.
However, her soul was still relatively fragile and required the Chaos Jade's constant nourishment and restoration.
Thinking of this, she did not hesitate to wear the Chaos Jade around her fair swan-like neck. This made her appear even more noble and mysterious.
"Qingtian has no way to repay Sect Master Lin's great kindness today. In the future, I must wholeheartedly assist him."
Xuanyuan Qingtian murmured.
Elsewhere, Heaven-Defying Peak, Xuanhuang Hall.
What Xuanyuan Qingtian did not know was that Lin Feng had already seen every detail of her through the system map.
After returning to Heaven-Defying Peak, he had directly opened Xuanyuan Peak on the system map, watching her every movement at all times.
It was not that Lin Feng had a habit of peeping. It was simply because the Ninth Grade Yin-Yang Sacred Lotus was a legendary Saint-grade treasure with incomparably domineering medicinal power, while Xuanyuan Qingtian was merely a wisp of remnant soul. If anything went wrong, all his efforts would have been in vain.
But what Lin Feng had not expected was that Xuanyuan Qingtian was truly formidable. The entire process went remarkably smoothly. Not only had she reconstructed her body, but her strength had also returned to the Human Immortal Realm in one stroke.
And...
