After chatting with True Lord Yuntian for a while, Hua Yunfei took his leave and returned to Dao Origin Peak with Huang Xuan.
True Lord Yuntian was left to arrange matters for Lin Yang and the other three.
With their aptitudes, their status within the Kaoshan Sect would certainly not be low.
At the very least, they would become true disciples.
Lin Yang might even go a step further.
Hua Yunfei and Huang Xuan rode atop a massive sword, shooting into the sky, piercing the clouds as they flew toward Dao Origin Peak.
As they drew close to Dao Origin Peak, Hua Yunfei looked into the distance, raised a brow, and his expression turned strange.
"Hoh!"
"My Dao Origin Peak has truly branched out and flourished!"
"With all these inner disciples, my heart is greatly comforted!"
Although Dao Origin Peak had never recruited disciples, the number of disciples cultivating on the peak was no fewer than on the other six peaks!
Vaguely, it seemed that the stronger the disciples were, the more they liked coming to Dao Origin Peak to mooch off its dense Spiritual Energy.
Although, under the transformation brought about by the heavenly treasures Hua Yunfei had planted—especially the Ginseng Fruit Tree—the Spiritual Energy within several hundred thousand li around the Kaoshan Sect had long since become utterly different from before.
Within the Kaoshan Sect itself, it was several times denser than before.
Yet Dao Origin Peak was the source. Its Spiritual Energy was so dense that it seemed capable of condensing into spiritual water.
Cultivating here for one day was equivalent to cultivating elsewhere for five days!
Or even longer!
Hua Yunfei had never driven anyone away from such a blessed land of spiritual beauty, so more and more disciples from the six peaks had come to pitch camp and build Cave Mansions for cultivation.
Even several Peak Masters' and the Sect Master's true disciples had exclusive cultivation Cave Mansions here.
Whenever the night was deep and all was quiet, they would sneak over to cultivate.
They came at night for no other reason than to out-grind their fellow disciples.
Especially the other true disciples.
If they ever got too worked up while bragging and ended up fighting, they would have some confidence, wouldn't they?
"Why is Luoqing here so early today?"
Looking down from above, Hua Yunfei saw Ouyang Luoqing tiptoeing through a corner, gradually approaching her cultivation Cave Mansion on Dao Origin Peak.
She was extremely cautious, afraid that the other true disciples might spot her.
This second disciple of Tianji Martial Uncle Grandfather looked adorable on the surface. She was petite and charming, with exquisite features, dressed in a Daoist robe like a porcelain doll.
But anyone fooled by her appearance would suffer a tremendous loss.
She was indisputably the grind king of Tianji Peak!
Her cultivation level in secret had likely surpassed that of her Senior Disciple Brother, Li Duxiu.
Ouyang Luoqing slipped past the crowd, quietly entered a concealed Cave Mansion, and shut the stone door behind her.
Shaking his head with a smile, Hua Yunfei stopped paying attention to her and entered the summit of Dao Origin Peak with Huang Xuan.
"Hmm? This is Tianji Martial Uncle Grandfather's aura. He's here?"
After passing through the formation and landing atop Dao Origin Peak, Hua Yunfei immediately sensed an unfamiliar aura that did not belong to Dao Origin Peak.
Upon careful identification, it was indeed True Lord Tianji's aura.
Why was that old fellow here?
Hua Yunfei looked toward a newly built Cave Mansion in the distance.
He had actually moved in?!
Hua Yunfei entered Dao Origin Peak without a sound, alarming no one.
At this moment, Ye Bufan was cultivating. By the spiritual lake, he was practicing a fist technique.
The Primordial Sacred Body possessed an invincible physique, and its strongest weapon was the fist.
Thus, after giving Ye Bufan the Taiyi Sword Art, Hua Yunfei had deliberately left behind the Sun Fist Scripture before departing the sect.
This was also an imperial fist art, created by an Ancient Emperor.
Legend had it that from the moment that Ancient Emperor began cultivating, his fists had been his divine weapons.
It was said that after this Ancient Emperor attained the Dao, a Supreme Dao Holy Land offended him and even provoked him with words, bringing out an Emperor Weapon to confront him.
Then, that Ancient Emperor was ruthless and sparing with words. With one raised hand and a single punch, he smashed the Ultimate Emperor Weapon until it cracked, and the entire Supreme Dao Holy Land was annihilated beneath that punch!
What that Ancient Emperor had used at the time was precisely the Sun Fist Scripture!
Golden blood energy boiled around Ye Bufan. His body moved as he swung both fists, and behind him, a Great Sun manifestation unexpectedly rose!
That was the manifestation revealed when the Sun Fist Scripture was activated!
As the Great Sun manifestation rose, Ye Bufan's power became even more terrifying, carrying immense pressure. Even space trembled.
Amidst his broad, sweeping movements, a golden dragon of blood energy soared into the sky, then plunged back down, dancing around the Great Sun behind Ye Bufan.
"Bufan's Sun Fist Scripture has already entered the hall and grasped its key points. As expected of the Primordial Sacred Body!"
Standing behind Ye Bufan, Hua Yunfei nodded in satisfaction.
As expected of Saint-grade Top-tier Aptitude. His comprehension was extraordinary. Even an Great Emperor-level fist art could be understood so quickly and brought to the point of entering the hall.
Ye Bufan now possessed three imperial Dao cultivation arts: the Heavenly Emperor Scripture, the Taiyi Sword Art, and the Sun Fist Scripture. Among those of the same realm, he would have few opponents!
Even if Hua Yunfei fought Ye Bufan at the same realm, his chances of victory would not exceed ninety percent!
[Name: Ye Bufan] [Age: Twenty] [Realm: Core Formation Realm First Layer (apparent), Core Formation Realm Third Layer (actual)] [Identity: Dao Origin Peak's First Disciple] [Cultivation Aptitude: Saint-grade Top-tier Aptitude] [Other Talents: Emperor-grade Fist Dao Talent, Saint-grade Top-tier Saber Dao Talent, Saint-grade Top-tier Sword Dao Talent, Saint-grade Top-tier Spear Dao Talent...] [Physique: Primordial Sacred Body] [Cultivation Arts: Heavenly Emperor Scripture (Emperor-grade), Taiyi Sword Art (Emperor-grade), Sun Fist Scripture (Emperor-grade), Unseen Breath Concealment Technique (Unranked)] [Divine Abilities: None] [Artifact: Golden Sacred Sword (Sage Tier)] [Fate: Golden]
"Breaking through two layers in merely half a year—such talent can only be called monstrous!"
Hua Yunfei nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that in just a few years, he could throw in the towel and toss the position of Peak Master to Ye Bufan.
Moreover, he had discovered that Ye Bufan was quite sensible.
After cultivating the Unseen Breath Concealment Technique, Ye Bufan had suppressed his apparent realm to the Core Formation Realm First Layer, creating the illusion that he still had not broken through after half a year.
In reality, he had already reached the Core Formation Realm Third Layer!
This child could be taught!
At that moment, Ye Bufan withdrew his fists and turned around, only to freeze. "Master?"
Then, he ran joyfully to Hua Yunfei and said, "Master, when did you return?"
"I arrived at the sect an hour ago."
Hua Yunfei smiled and nodded. "Your master saw the fruits of your cultivation over the past half year just now. You did very well."
"Thank you, Master."
Ye Bufan was extremely happy to receive Hua Yunfei's praise.
He was not good with words, but in his heart, he deeply admired Hua Yunfei.
After coming to Dao Origin Peak and encountering this world like an immortal realm, he knew that his master was no ordinary person.
An intense reverence rose in his heart!
Hua Yunfei glanced at the Cave Mansion where True Lord Tianji was staying. "Why do I sense Tianji Martial Uncle Grandfather's aura?"
Ye Bufan's expression immediately turned strange. He glanced at True Lord Tianji's Cave Mansion and lowered his voice.
"Tianji Martial Uncle Grandfather has been squatting here for two months already. This disciple did not dare drive him away, but judging by Martial Uncle Grandfather's intentions, he probably would not be willing to leave even if he lived here for the rest of his life."
"Is there really such a thing?"
Hearing this, Hua Yunfei raised a brow. Was he planning to freeload?
He swept his gaze around and immediately noticed that several of the precious herbs he normally cultivated were gone!
And they were all Sage Tier medicinal herbs.
Hua Yunfei had kept them for viewing during his leisure time, not for cultivation at all!
After all, when his realm had been low in the past, he had eaten too much of this level of medicine and had long since grown sick of it.
Yet while he had been away, someone had actually eaten them.
What was he supposed to look at in the future?
