The Master Actually Possessed Such Great Power?

"Master, he is?"

Ye Bufan glanced at Huang Xuan behind Hua Yunfei and asked curiously.

Huang Xuan was also looking at Ye Bufan, and he could tell that the other man possessed a Primordial Sacred Body.

He glanced at Hua Yunfei. What exactly was the background of this bargain-bin master of his?

Was he merely the Peak Master of a single peak in the Kaoshan Sect?

Could it really be that simple?

I don't think so.

But Huang Xuan did not dwell on it. Since he had acknowledged Hua Yunfei as his master, and Hua Yunfei bore him no ill will and could provide cultivation resources that others could not—

Then he should not entertain any other thoughts.

Hearing Ye Bufan's question, Hua Yunfei smiled faintly, stepped aside, and introduced him. "His name is Huang Xuan. His aptitude is no worse than yours. He is the second disciple I have taken and also your junior disciple brother."

"Huang Xuan, this is your senior disciple brother, Ye Bufan."

Ye Bufan and Huang Xuan exchanged smiles and nodded slightly in greeting.

"Hello, Junior Brother Huang."

"You are too courteous, Senior Disciple Brother."

Hua Yunfei said, "Alright, you two chat. I'll go find Martial Uncle Tianji and talk about life."

With that, Hua Yunfei headed toward True Lord Tianji's Cave Mansion.

"Senior Disciple Brother, can a Primordial Sacred Body still cultivate in this era?"

From the memories of his previous life, Huang Xuan knew that during the era of Great Emperor Xuanhuang, Primordial Sacred Bodies could cultivate. It was merely far more difficult than before.

But after Great Emperor Xuanhuang passed away, the Heavenly Dao entered the Age of Dharma's End. The laws suppressed all things, and everything changed.

Geniuses who should have possessed Quasi-Emperor Level aptitude were suppressed into having only Saint Realm aptitude in this age.

And Primordial Sacred Bodies, which should have been invincible beneath the heavens, became utterly incapable of cultivation.

According to the ancient records of nearly thirty thousand years he had read at Yaoguang Holy Land, whenever a Primordial Sacred Body tried to defy the heavens, mysterious laws would sense it and bring down a killing tribulation!

Over the course of thirty thousand years, three Primordial Sacred Bodies had been born. Without exception, all of them had triggered the mysterious laws when their respective masters tried to forcibly reconnect their severed paths.

All three had died beneath Divine Punishment!

And Ye Bufan should have been the fourth after those three. Yet not only could he cultivate safely, he had even reached the Origin Core Realm!

Inconceivable.

The only explanation Huang Xuan could think of was that Ye Bufan had encountered a benefactor.

A top-tier Great Power had reconnected his severed path, borne the Karma of the mysterious laws, and cut off the killing tribulation!

Only then had Ye Bufan's Sacred Body severed path been restored!

Hearing Huang Xuan's question, Ye Bufan's lips curved upward. Looking at Hua Yunfei's retreating back, he said,

"It was Master. He used his powerful Magic Power to open up meridians as tough as Divine Iron for me, condense an Origin Core, and reconnect the severed path of the Primordial Sacred Body that had been broken for tens of thousands of years."

Ye Bufan had not finished what he meant.

More importantly, it was the Heavenly Emperor Scripture Hua Yunfei had given him. That was the primary reason the Primordial Sacred Body's severed path could be restored!

"Master actually possessed such great power?"

Huang Xuan also looked at Hua Yunfei's back. For a moment, he could not guess just how profound Hua Yunfei's realm was.

Huang Xuan only knew that it definitely was not the Heavenly Human Realm.

The Heavenly Human Realm could not accomplish such a thing.

And the Lin Dao Realm... seemed unable to do so either. At the very least, one needed to be at Perfection Level or above!

Moreover, strength like that could only barely force open the path. Ye Bufan would surely encounter countless hardships and obstacles in his future cultivation.

If Hua Yunfei truly possessed only Lin Dao Realm strength, he would absolutely be unable to continue helping Ye Bufan.

"Junior Brother Huang, you've just arrived at Dao Origin Peak and aren't familiar with it yet. Let me show you around."

"Our Dao Origin Peak is no inferior even to a Supreme Dao Holy Land."

Ye Bufan said with a cheerful smile.

"I could tell."

Huang Xuan nodded. Before even entering Dao Origin Peak, he had been astonished to find several spatial formations outside it, while the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth was so dense that it nearly surpassed Yaoguang Holy Land.

And after entering Dao Origin Peak, his heart had never settled.

He even wondered whether this was truly just one peak of the Kaoshan Sect.

Arriving at the Cave Mansion True Lord Tianji had opened, Hua Yunfei raised his hand and knocked.

Knock, knock, knock.

"I already said it. I have urgent business with your master. Once your master returns, I will naturally leave."

True Lord Tianji's voice came from within the cave.

The door did not open.

"Martial Uncle, I'm back."

Hua Yunfei said softly.

The air fell silent. There was no response from within the Cave Mansion.

Hua Yunfei asked, "Martial Uncle?"

True Lord Tianji still did not respond.

"This old fellow!"

Hua Yunfei's face darkened. With a flash, he appeared inside the cave and saw that True Lord Tianji had plugged his ears with two wooden stoppers.

Still, he could definitely hear.

Especially after noticing Hua Yunfei enter the Cave Mansion, his body trembled. With his back to Hua Yunfei, he sat there feigning composure and continued cultivating.

Hua Yunfei slowly walked before True Lord Tianji. He said nothing and merely watched him.

After a long while, sweat had appeared on True Lord Tianji's forehead. Finally unable to endure any longer, he slowly opened his eyes. Upon seeing Hua Yunfei, he revealed an expression of surprised delight.

"Nephew Yunfei, when did you return?"

"Why didn't you wake your martial uncle?"

"You see, whenever your martial uncle cultivates, I enter a state of forgetting myself and become unaware of the outside world. I'm truly sorry."

Without blushing or skipping a beat, True Lord Tianji stood up with a grin and spoke.

"Wonderful, simply wonderful!"

"Is this the acting skill of a Peak Master? As expected of a major figure in the Kaoshan Sect!"

"To lie low, one must also know how to act."

Hua Yunfei nearly applauded in admiration. He looked at True Lord Tianji with a smiling face, his eyes brightening.

This old fellow truly had not eaten those sacred medicines for nothing. He had actually reached Heavenly Human Realm Perfection Level!

[Name: Hong Qitian, True Lord Tianji]

[Age: 482 years]

[Realm: Heavenly Human Realm Second Layer (surface), Heavenly Human Realm Perfection Level (actual)]

[Identity: Tianji Peak Peak Master of the Kaoshan Sect, lower Dao-grade Talisman Master]

[Cultivation Aptitude: top-grade Heaven-tier aptitude]

[Other Talents: lower Dao-grade Karma Talent, lower Dao-grade Talisman Dao Talent, top-grade Heaven-tier fire attribute talent]

[Physique: none]

[Cultivation Art: Life-Forgetting Art (no grade), Unseen Breath Concealment Technique (no grade)]

[Divine Ability: Heavenly Eye]

[Artifact: Creation Whisk (Lin Dao Level)]

[Fortune: Orange!]

"In just half a year, he jumped two levels in a row. As expected, my sacred medicines were not wasted on him."

"It's just a pity. Since he ate them, I'll have to plant some more sacred medicines for decoration later."

Hua Yunfei shook his head helplessly. He would not put on a sour face for True Lord Tianji over several worthless sacred medicines.

After all, they were worthless trinkets.

He mainly wanted to see what this fellow was plotting.

While Hua Yunfei was away, he had actually moved here to live?

And...

This old fellow's Fortune grade was actually orange!

No wonder he had become an old Daoist with a black beard, yet was always followed by a whole string of young female disciples.

So all his Fortune had gone into romantic luck.

Hua Yunfei looked at True Lord Tianji with a smile and said, "Martial Uncle, may I know what urgent matter you had with your nephew?"

"It was enough to trouble you to personally wait at Dao Origin Peak for two months?"

True Lord Tianji laughed heartily, his expression perfectly normal and not the least bit embarrassed. "It's actually nothing important. I merely wanted to ask where your father is now, after traveling through the Northern Dipper."

Hua Yunfei knew that this was definitely an excuse he had prepared in advance.

Would he care about Hua Yunfei's father?

When Hua Cangqiong had been around, True Lord Tianji had taken no shortage of beatings.

One had a loose mouth, while the other had a fiery temper. At every council meeting, they would start fighting at the slightest disagreement.

Then they would drag in the other Peak Masters, including the Sect Master.

What was even more amusing was that though it began as a chaotic brawl, it always ended as one against six.

Hua Cangqiong was the strongest. When he slapped someone, he had no sense of restraint, and after beating them into a rage, Sect Master Yun Tian and the others would join forces against him.

Even so, they still could not defeat him. If Mysterious River Martial Uncle Ancestor had not come running over from the Ancestral Land to mediate—

The six of them would have been bedridden for half a month.
