Tian Buyi's Probe!

Great Bamboo Peak.

Shou Jing Hall.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was somewhat oppressive.

Tian Buyi sat at the head of the table, his face stern.

He picked up a piece of pickled radish and threw it into his mouth, chewing it with a loud crunch.

It was as if he wasn't chewing radish, but some disobedient, rebellious disciple.

The others at the table were all silent as cicadas in winter.

During this time.

Tian Buyi's temper had become increasingly volatile.

No one dared to provoke Tian Buyi.

Suddenly.

Tian Buyi's originally stern, plump face changed color abruptly.

What a powerful aura!

This aura was completely undisguised, charging straight towards Great Bamboo Peak.

"Which blind fool dares to trespass on my Great Bamboo Peak!"

Tian Buyi snorted coldly.

His figure instantly turned into an afterimage, disappearing from Shou Jing Hall.

Su Ru followed closely behind.

Song Daren, Tian Ling'er, and the others exchanged glances.

Although they didn't understand what was happening, they quickly dropped their bowls and chopsticks and chased after them.

Above Great Bamboo Peak.

Ye Xuan stood on the Chang Qing Sword, hands behind his back, leisurely gazing at the familiar mountain below.

The Black Bamboo forest was still lush and green.

Shou Jing Hall was still as dilapidated as ever.

A sense of homecoming arose spontaneously.

"So this is Great Bamboo Peak..."

Ye Xuan stretched.

Just as he was about to press down with his sword light to descend.

At that moment.

A powerful, peerless gust of wind surged upwards without warning.

A crimson spiritual energy, like a dragon emerging from the sea, lunged straight at Ye Xuan's face.

This force came swiftly and fiercely, showing no intention of holding back.

Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow.

This familiar aura.

Besides that proud, fatty Master, who else could it be?

"Master."

"We haven't seen each other for so long, and this is the welcome gift?"

Ye Xuan teased verbally, but his movements were not slow at all.

With a thought.

The Chang Qing Sword beneath his feet instantly let out a high-pitched dragon's roar.

The originally three-foot-long sword body transformed into a giant sword about ten feet long, directly colliding with the crimson spiritual energy.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion.

The two forces clashed fiercely in mid-air.

The airwaves rolled, instantly scattering the surrounding clouds.

On the square in front of Shou Jing Hall.

Song Daren and the others, who had just run out, were startled by the sudden loud noise.

They looked up.

They saw two lights, one red and one green, intertwined and entangled in mid-air, refusing to yield to each other.

"Is that… Seventh?!"

Song Daren's mouth fell open.

"Good heavens!"

"Seventh actually dared to go head-to-head with Master?"

Du Bishu's eyes were practically bulging out of his head.

At this moment.

Tian Buyi, in the sky, was also immensely shocked.

Originally, he had just intended to casually test his disciple's progress.

So, he had used about seventy to eighty percent of his strength from the Yuqing Realm.

In his mind.

This move should have at least forced the kid into a flustered state.

Then, he would reveal himself as the Master and admonish the disciple.

This would show his authority and also test his cultivation.

The script was already written.

But the result?

Upon this collision.

Seventh's spiritual energy was surprisingly condensed and incomparably firm, like a rock!

"This is interesting."

"You brat, come again."

Looking at the young man in the green robe opposite him.

A hint of imperceptible joy flashed in Tian Buyi's eyes.

But this joy was fleeting, immediately masked by sternness.

With that said.

Tian Buyi formed a hand seal.

Instantly.

A brilliant red light erupted around him.

This time, it was no longer a casual test.

A terrifying pressure belonging to a Shangqing Realm expert instantly crushed down towards Ye Xuan.

The air seemed to freeze at this moment.

Song Daren and the others below immediately felt difficulty breathing.

Su Ru stood in the corridor, her delicate brows furrowed.

"Is Buyi getting serious?"

"Even if he wants to test him, is there a need for Shangqing Realm pressure?"

She was about to intervene.

But she saw Ye Xuan in mid-air, facing this overwhelming pressure, not showing the slightest panic.

Instead, his entire being became sharp and brilliant.

Like a sword hidden in its sheath for many years, finally revealing its peerless edge.

"Since Master is in the mood."

"Then this disciple will offer a humble performance."

Ye Xuan chuckled lightly.

He no longer held back.

"Boom!"

A pure and serene, yet vast as the sea, aura erupted from Ye Xuan's body.

"This aura… Shangqing Realm?!"

Seeing this.

Su Ru, who had been worried, suddenly had her pupils contract sharply.

Song Daren and the others beside her were stunned.

What?

Shangqing Realm?

Who?

Seventh?

What a joke!

It's only been a little over a year!

Even with rocket-powered cultivation, it wouldn't be this fast, right?

In the sky.

Tian Buyi's heart churned with even greater waves.

He was the closest and felt it the most.

Although the aura Ye Xuan unleashed was still a bit immature.

Its purity and intensity had truly stepped onto the threshold of the Shangqing Realm!

Shangqing Realm at twelve years old!

Who would dare believe it if this was said out loud?

Even Ancestor Qingye back then was probably no more than this, right?

Shock aside.

Tian Buyi's movements didn't stop; he became even more excited.

Good!

He'd struck gold!

His Great Bamboo Peak was finally going to have a monstrous talent!

"Good kid!"

"No wonder you dared to be so arrogant!"

"Take this sword!"

Tian Buyi clenched his right hand in the air.

The Crimson Flame Sword wasn't unsheathed; he swung it along with its scabbard.

A crimson sword energy sliced through the sky, carrying scorching heat, and cleaved down.

Ye Xuan's eyes lit up.

Good timing!

He also wanted to test how his Chang Qing Sword measured up.

"Go!"

His hand seal changed.

The Chang Qing Sword floating before him instantly split into eighteen sword shadows.

Each sword shadow seemed substantial, emitting a chilling aura.

"Clang clang clang clang--"

The dense clashing sounds echoed through the heavens.

The emerald sword shadows and crimson sword energy collided wildly in the air.

Sparks flew.

Like fireworks in broad daylight.

Ye Xuan's figure flickered, weaving freely through the crisscrossing sword energy.

The Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao was pushed to its limit.

Even though his current cultivation was far inferior to Tian Buyi's.

Ye Xuan's current stance did not put him at a disadvantage at all.

On the other side.

Tian Buyi grew more alarmed the more they fought.

The sword in this kid's hand... it's not ordinary!

Its material, its spiritual essence.

It was nothing like an ordinary Magic Treasure!

Has this kid really forged a top-grade Magic Treasure?

"Master, be careful!"

The moment Tian Buyi was distracted.

Ye Xuan suddenly shouted.

The seemingly unremarkable small cauldron that had always hung at his waist.

Suddenly flew up on its own.

It grew larger in the wind!

Originally only palm-sized.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a three-legged, two-eared giant cauldron, pitch-black all over and covered in ancient inscriptions.

The Myriad Ancient Cauldron!

A heavy aura instantly enveloped all of Great Bamboo Peak.

"A Nine Heavens Divine Weapon?"

Su Ru below changed color.

How could this be?

Where did their Seventh get a Nine Heavens Divine Weapon?

"Hahaha..."

"Excellent, open for me!"

Tian Buyi laughed heartily.

Although he didn't know where Ye Xuan got the Nine Heavens Divine Weapon either.

However, facing a Nine Heavens Divine Weapon, he naturally wouldn't dare to be careless.

The Crimson Flame Sword was finally unsheathed.

Red light blazed!

Like a scorching sun rising into the sky!

The next moment.

A massive fire dragon roared and charged towards the descending cauldron.
