Yang Jian Becomes Di Xuan's Disciple, Di Xiao Meets Kong Xuan!

Liangzhou Commandery.

Irrigation River Estuary.

Ripples spread through space, and Di Xuan's figure appeared out of thin air.

Then, Di Xuan used his powerful Primordial Spirit to search for Yang Jian's residence.

A moment later, Di Xuan's powerful Primordial Spirit locked onto a small mountain village several hundred kilometers away.

With a single teleport across several hundred kilometers, Di Xuan appeared directly in a secluded corner outside the little village.

Di Xuan then strode slowly toward the village, arriving before Yang Jian's home before long.

At this moment, in a courtyard at the westernmost end of Yang Family Village, a young man was practicing martial arts.

Yang Jian, who had been practicing martial arts, sensed someone's arrival and stopped.

When Yang Jian saw Di Xuan's fluttering white robes and immortal, otherworldly bearing, he could not help but feel a trace of goodwill toward the visitor.

With a smile, Yang Jian bowed to Di Xuan. "Hello. May I ask what brings you here?"

Di Xuan returned the gesture. "Hello, I am Di Xuan. I have indeed come to see you about something."

Hearing that Di Xuan had business with him, Yang Jian asked in confusion, "Brother Di Xuan, what is it that you have come to see me about?"

Di Xuan said, "We need to find somewhere quiet to discuss this matter in detail."

Yang Jian said, "Brother Di Xuan, then please come into my humble home so we may speak!"

Di Xuan nodded. "All right."

Yang Jian then invited Di Xuan inside.

In the Yang family's sitting room, after Di Xuan took a seat, Yang Jian brewed a cup of tea for Di Xuan and one for himself.

Yang Jian said, "Brother Di Xuan, just what is it that you have come to see me about?"

"To the best of my recollection, I do not know you."

Di Xuan said, "Yang Jian, it is true that we do not know each other."

"Yang Jian, there is a question I would like to ask you."

Yang Jian said, "Please speak, Brother Di Xuan."

Di Xuan said, "Yang Jian, has there always been a voice in your mind telling you to leave home and go to the immortal mountains and cave abodes of the Primordial World to seek a master and learn the arts?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian shot to his feet in alarm, staring at Di Xuan with a face full of shock.

Yang Jian said in astonishment, "Brother Di Xuan, how do you know about this?"

Di Xuan raised a hand and pointed at the sky. "Yang Jian, heavenly secrets cannot be revealed!"

"You will naturally understand in the future."

Yang Jian asked doubtfully, "Brother Di Xuan, then this time, you came to...?"

Di Xuan said, "Yang Jian, I came to take you to seek a master and learn the arts."

Yang Jian said, "Brother Di Xuan, whom are you taking me to acknowledge as my master?"

Di Xuan smiled as he looked at Yang Jian.

Yang Jian asked in confusion, "Brother Di Xuan, are you saying I should acknowledge you as my master?"

Di Xuan nodded.

Yang Jian stood up and carefully sized Di Xuan up from head to toe.

Yang Jian asked solemnly, "Brother Di Xuan, could it be that you are an immortal cultivator?"

Di Xuan nodded. "That is correct."

Yang Jian said, "Brother Di Xuan, then show me some of an immortal cultivator's methods and let me see?"

Di Xuan said, "Yang Jian, then prepare yourself."

Yang Jian nodded.

Then, with a casual wave of Di Xuan's hand, both Di Xuan and Yang Jian vanished directly from the Yang family's sitting room.

High above Liangzhou Commandery, at an altitude of ten thousand zhang, Di Xuan and Yang Jian appeared out of thin air.

Before Yang Jian could react, he discovered that he and Di Xuan were suspended ten thousand zhang up in the empty sky.

Yang Jian found that he and Di Xuan were standing directly upon the void, towering in the sky tens of thousands of zhang above.

Yang Jian lowered his head to look at the mountain range below. The mountains he saw resembled enormous dragons coiled and lying prone.

Only then did Yang Jian finally believe that Di Xuan was an immortal cultivator.

Di Xuan looked at Yang Jian. "Yang Jian, do you believe me now?"

Yang Jian nodded. "I believe you."

Di Xuan said, "Then, Yang Jian, are you willing to take me as your master?"

After saying this, Di Xuan felt somewhat nervous, though he kept a smile on his face as he looked at Yang Jian.

Yang Jian thought for a moment, then raised his head to look at Di Xuan.

Yang Jian said, "I am willing!"

Hearing Yang Jian's affirmative answer, Di Xuan let out a great sigh of relief inwardly.

After all, Di Xuan and Di Xin were one and the same. Whatever Di Xin knew, Di Xuan knew as well.

In the original course of events, guided by the Heavenly Dao in his mind, Yang Jian had gone to Golden Glow Cave on Jade Spring Mountain and taken Jade Cauldron True Person as his master!

Di Xuan said, "Since you are willing to take me as your master, I will accompany you back to take a look."

"Then you will leave with me."

Yang Jian nodded. "All right!"

After Yang Jian spoke, Di Xuan casually waved his hand. Space and time shifted, and Di Xuan and Yang Jian returned once more to the Yang family's living room.

Before long, Yang Jian came before Di Xuan.

Di Xuan said, "Yang Jian, can we leave now?"

Yang Jian nodded. "We can."

Di Xuan said, "Then let's go."

Afterward, Di Xuan left directly with Yang Jian.

Three Mountains Pass.

Inside the Commander's Residence of Three Mountains Pass, Kong Xuan was in secluded cultivation within a secret chamber.

Just then, a soldier clad in black armor arrived at the place where Kong Xuan was cultivating in seclusion.

"Halt! This is where Marshal Kong is cultivating in seclusion!"

The guard stationed outside Kong Xuan's seclusion grounds shouted sharply.

The black-armored soldier said, "I have a matter to report to Marshal Kong."

The stationed guard said, "Wait a moment. I will go report it."

The black-armored soldier nodded.

The guard stationed at Kong Xuan's seclusion grounds turned and entered a great hall.

Before long, a handsome young man dressed in a five-colored Daoist robe slowly emerged from the hall.

The black-armored soldier looked up and saw that it was Kong Xuan.

At once, the black-armored soldier hurriedly dropped to one knee and respectfully saluted Kong Xuan. "Greetings, Marshal Kong!"

Kong Xuan said, "Rise. What matter do you have to report to me?"

After rising, the black-armored soldier said respectfully, "Marshal Kong, an honored guest has arrived at the Commander's Residence of Three Mountains Pass. He specifically asked to see you."

Upon hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Kong Xuan's face.

Kong Xuan said, "Who is this visitor? Do you know?"

The black-armored soldier shook his head. "Marshal Kong, this subordinate does not know."

A look of surprise remained on Kong Xuan's face.

Kong Xuan said, "Lead the way. Let this marshal see who seeks me."

The black-armored soldier said respectfully, "Yes, Marshal."

Having spoken, the black-armored soldier respectfully led the way toward the main hall of the Commander's Residence.

At this moment, Zhang Shan, the deputy general of the Commander's Residence of Three Mountains Pass, was speaking with a middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man was Di Xiao, one of Di Xin's three incarnations.

Zhang Shan saw that Di Xiao had a stern countenance and the bearing of one who stood above others. Moreover, he could not see through the middle-aged man's cultivation realm.

For a moment, Zhang Shan did not dare to be careless. He could only remain at Di Xiao's side with utmost caution.

Just then, the black-armored soldier led Kong Xuan in from outside the hall.

The black-armored soldier turned and said respectfully, "Marshal Kong, it is that middle-aged man who wishes to see you."

The moment Kong Xuan entered from outside, he spotted Di Xiao.

To Kong Xuan's knowledge, he did not know this visitor.

Furthermore, Di Xiao's aura was unfathomable, deep beyond measure.

At once, Kong Xuan was incomparably shocked.

Kong Xuan thought in shock, Who exactly is this man?

Why do I feel such an utterly terrifying pressure from him?

Kong Xuan immediately went on full alert as he watched Di Xiao.

Kong Xuan said, "I am Kong Xuan."

"May I ask, fellow Daoist, were you looking for me?"

Di Xiao nodded. "That's right."

Kong Xuan said, "Fellow Daoist, if you have business with me, please speak."

Di Xiao glanced at Zhang Shan and the people within the great hall.

With a casual wave of his hand, Kong Xuan said, "Deputy General Zhang, all of you may leave."

Zhang Shan rose to his feet and bowed to Kong Xuan. "Yes, Marshal Kong!"

Afterward, everyone in the great hall departed.

Just then, the system's voice rang out in Di Xiao's mind.

"Ding! The system has issued a mission!"
