He had come again today. No matter how he tried to explain, his Martial Uncle Tianji simply didn't believe him and insisted on entering Daoyuan Peak to see for himself.
"I won't make things difficult for you."
"Whether your master is here or not, I'll know once I go inside."
Tianji Zhenren was getting a bit impatient and couldn't wait any longer.
Heaven knew if those old guys had made any progress in the past three months.
He certainly hadn't.
That's why he was so eager to see Hua Yunfei and get some good stuff from his martial nephew to advance his cultivation.
Ye Bufan said helplessly, "My master said that without his permission, no one else is allowed to enter the mountain."
"Martial Uncle, if you insist on entering, I'm afraid you won't reach the summit."
Chapter Thirty-Four: Being this dedicated is what a Celestial Secrets Peak disciple should be like.
Tianji Zhenren glanced at Daoyuan Peak. He knew that several special formations were hidden here.
He was also wary of these formations, which were ostensibly left by the Hua family ancestor.
Ordinary people could only reach the halfway point of Daoyuan Peak. Without Hua Yunfei's permission, they couldn't get to the higher parts at all.
Moreover, Hua Yunfei had clearly told several of them, the higher-ups, not to barge in casually, as the consequences would be unpredictable if he wasn't around.
Tianji Zhenren's nose twitched as he smelled the spiritual energy on Daoyuan Peak, which was several times denser than on other peaks. His heart itched.
An idea struck him. "Bufan, Martial Uncle has something important to discuss with your master."
"Although he hasn't returned for many days, he's been gone for over three months now. He should be back soon."
"Martial Uncle will find a place to stay on Daoyuan Peak and wait for him. The matter Martial Uncle needs to discuss is very important and requires seeing him immediately."
Ye Bufan was stunned. What was the difference between this and waiting at Celestial Secrets Peak? Why insist on waiting at Daoyuan Peak?
Before he could speak, Tianji Zhenren, with a kind smile, put his arm around Ye Bufan's shoulders and pushed him all the way towards the summit of Daoyuan Peak.
"Martial Uncle, this..."
Ye Bufan wasn't good with words and couldn't refuse Tianji Zhenren.
He led him along, all the way towards the mountain top.
Before Hua Yunfei left, he had handed over the control methods for Daoyuan Peak's formations to Ye Bufan.
Now, with the golden ring Hua Yunfei had given him, Ye Bufan could control many of Daoyuan Peak's formations.
On Daoyuan Peak, even the Sect Master Yun Tian Zhenren might not be Ye Bufan's match.
As they walked up, on the lower slopes of Daoyuan Peak, where there were almost no visible formations, they often saw disciples cultivating in secluded corners.
These disciples were naturally not from Daoyuan Peak but from the other six peaks.
Daoyuan Peak had dense spiritual energy, and even the air carried a medicinal fragrance, making it an excellent place for cultivation.
It was easier to break through here.
Even the medicinal fragrance in the air, just a sniff, made one feel refreshed and invigorated, as if their lifespan had increased slightly.
Perhaps it was an illusion, but many disciples were unwilling to miss such a treasure trove.
Some dedicated disciples had even built cultivation caves on the lower slopes of Daoyuan Peak and resided there for long-term cultivation.
Unsurprisingly, those who did this had long surpassed their peers in cultivation, unbeknownst to others.
It was worth mentioning that Ouyang Luoqing, Tianji Zhenren's second disciple, had a cultivation cave here.
Neither Tianji Zhenren nor his senior disciple Li Duxiu knew about this.
"As expected of Daoyuan Peak, even the scent in the air is so captivating."
Tianji Zhenren said with a smile, feeling sweet inside.
If he cultivated here for ten or eight years, even his supposedly reserved junior brother Di Shen wouldn't be able to outdo him.
Hmm... When Martial Nephew Yunfei returns, I must have a good talk with him.
Hmm?
Suddenly, Tianji Zhenren saw a Celestial Secrets Peak disciple excavating a cave.
The disciple was working very hard, holding a magical artifact shovel, moving quickly, his face excited, and occasionally letting out laughter.
"Hahaha!"
"From now on, this will be my home, Wang Xiaoer's home."
"Living here, who would want to go back to Celestial Secrets Peak?"
Tianji Zhenren glanced at him but said nothing. The smile on his face grew even wider.
Good, good, he truly inherited my mantle!
Being this dedicated is what a Celestial Secrets Peak disciple should be like.
Tianji Zhenren decided to mentor the other disciples of Celestial Secrets Peak in the future, encouraging them all to establish caves on Daoyuan Peak and cultivate there long-term.
Within ten years, the disciples of the other five peaks will only be able to see his back.
"This method is excellent!"
"Hahaha!"
Tianji Zhenren couldn't help but burst into laughter, startling Ye Bufan.
"This Martial Uncle... his mind seems a bit off... bringing him back to Daoyuan Peak, is that okay?"
Ye Bufan seriously suspected he was inviting a wolf into the fold.
Two months later, at the main gate of the Backer Sect.
Elder Shi was on duty as usual, but he was feeling rather annoyed today.
Because, just three days prior, another elder, twenty years his junior, had informed him that he had successfully broken through to the fourth layer of the Spirit Infant Realm.
He had reached the middle stage of the Spirit Infant Realm!
This made Elder Shi, who was older but only outwardly at the early stage of the Spirit Infant Realm, feel extremely embarrassed.
But there was nothing he could do.
It was all because he had a loose tongue and had loudly spread Tianji Zhenren's embarrassing stories, resulting in a year-long punishment of guarding the gate, and only half of that time had passed.
During these six months, he had absolutely no time for cultivation. Not only had his outward realm not advanced, but even his hidden realm had progressed slowly.
"Sigh, just a little longer, and it will be over soon."
Elder Shi sat there and looked up.
"Huh?"
"The Head Disciple of Daoyuan is back!"
From the distance high in the sky, space tore open, and Hua Yunfei appeared, leading five people.
Soon, everyone arrived at the sect's main gate.
"Head Disciple Hua, it's been a while," Elder Shi said with a smile.
"It has been a long time."
Hua Yunfei nodded slightly, chatted briefly with Elder Shi, and then led the group through the gate.
"Is this what a great immortal sect looks like?"
Tang Yi and Tang Er, who had just begun cultivating, were awestruck by the Backer Sect's magnificent appearance.
The sight of flocks of immortal cranes flying in the distance further elicited gasps from the two.
Even young masters from families like Lin Yang and Mu Qingqing had never witnessed such a scene.
For a time, the group was immersed in this immortal realm.
Only Huang Xuan remained sufficiently calm; the grandeur of the Backer Sect did not draw even the slightest attention from him.
After all, what kind of scenes hadn't he seen in his previous life?
He had even killed Supremes.
"Lin Yang, Mu Qingqing, Tang Yi, Tang Er, I will take you to see the Sect Master first."
Hua Yunfei flicked his sleeve, and a sword appeared out of thin air, then rapidly enlarged and hovered there.
"Come up. The Backer Sect is vast, and it will take quite some time to walk."
Flying on a sword!
Lin Yang and the others' faces were filled with longing. This was so much cooler than flying through the air.
They had more than once imagined that when they broke through to the Core Formation Realm and could fly, they would definitely use swords as their mode of transportation.
