"Master actually possessed such mighty power?"
Huang Xuan also watched Hua Yunfei's retreating back. For a moment, he could not fathom just how deep Hua Yunfei's cultivation truly was.
Huang Xuan only knew that it was definitely not the Celestial Realm.
The Celestial Realm could not accomplish something like this.
And the Approaching Dao Realm... seemed unable to do it either. At the very least, one had to be at the perfected level or above!
Moreover, such strength could only barely force it open. When Ye Bufan cultivated in the future, he would surely encounter countless hardships and obstacles.
If Hua Yunfei truly possessed only the strength of the Approaching Dao Realm, he would absolutely be unable to continue helping Ye Bufan.
"Junior Brother Huang, you have only just arrived at Daoyuan Peak and are still unfamiliar with it. Let me show you around."
"Our Daoyuan Peak is no less impressive than an Ultimate Sacred Ground."
Ye Bufan said with a genial smile.
"I can see that."
Huang Xuan nodded. Before even entering Daoyuan Peak, he had already been astonished to find several spatial formations outside it, while the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was so rich it nearly surpassed Yaoguang Holy Land.
And after entering Daoyuan Peak, his heart had not been calm for a moment.
He even wondered whether this was truly just one peak of the Backer Sect.
Arriving at the Cave Abode Tianji Zhenren 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."
Tianji Zhenren'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, and no response came from within the Cave Abode.
Hua Yunfei asked, "Martial Uncle?"
Tianji Zhenren still did not respond.
"This old fellow!"
Hua Yunfei's face darkened. With a flash, he appeared inside the cave, only to find Tianji Zhenren with two wooden plugs stuffed into his ears.
Yet he could definitely still hear.
Especially after sensing Hua Yunfei enter the Cave Abode, his body gave a tremble. With his back to Hua Yunfei, he sat there in feigned composure and continued cultivating.
Hua Yunfei slowly walked in front of Tianji Zhenren. He said nothing, merely stared at him.
After a long while, sweat had appeared on Tianji Zhenren's forehead. Finally unable to endure it any longer, he slowly opened his eyes. Upon seeing Hua Yunfei, he revealed a look of surprised delight.
"Nephew Yunfei, when did you return?"
"Why didn't you wake your martial uncle?"
"Look, whenever your martial uncle cultivates, I enter a state of self-forgetfulness and lose all awareness of the outside world. I truly apologize."
Without so much as a blush or a racing heartbeat, Tianji Zhenren rose to his feet with a cheerful grin.
"Splendid, absolutely splendid!"
"So this is the acting skill of a First Seat? Worthy indeed of a great figure of the Backer Sect!"
"To lie low, one must also know how to act."
Hua Yunfei nearly applauded in admiration. Smiling with narrowed eyes, he looked at Tianji Zhenren, and his eyes lit up.
This old fellow truly had not eaten those Saint Medicines for nothing. He had actually reached the perfected level of the Celestial Realm!
Name: Hong Qitian, Tianji Zhenren Age: 482 years old Realm: Celestial Realm, Second Heaven (surface); perfected Celestial Realm (actual) Identity: First Seat of Celestial Secrets Peak, Backer Sect; low-grade Dao-tier talisman master Cultivation aptitude: supreme-grade Heaven-tier aptitude Other talents: low-grade Dao-tier karma talent, low-grade Dao-tier talisman Dao talent, supreme-grade Heaven-tier fire attribute talent Physique: none Cultivation arts: Selfless Rebirth Art (ungraded); Unfathomable Concealment Art (ungraded) Divine ability: Heavenly Eye Magic artifact: Creation Dust Brush (Approaching Dao grade) Luck: orange!
"In just half a year, he leaped two levels in a row. My Saint Medicines truly were not wasted on him."
"It is just a pity that after feeding them to him, I will have to plant some more Saint Medicines for my future viewing pleasure."
Hua Yunfei shook his head helplessly. He would not put on a sour face toward Tianji Zhenren over a few worthless Saint Medicines.
After all, they were worthless trifles.
He mainly wanted to see what this fellow was plotting.
While he was away, this man had actually moved here to live?
And...
This old fellow's luck grade was actually orange!
No wonder that, despite already becoming a bearded old Daoist, he was always followed around by a long string of young female disciples.
So his luck had all been spent on romantic fortune.
Hua Yunfei looked at Tianji Zhenren with a smiling squint and said, "Martial Uncle, what urgent matter did you have for your nephew?"
"It even made you personally wait at Daoyuan Peak for two months?"
Tianji Zhenren laughed heartily, his expression perfectly natural as he said without the slightest embarrassment, "It is not really anything important. I merely wanted to ask where your father is now, after traveling through the Northern Dipper."
Hua Yunfei knew this was definitely an excuse Tianji Zhenren had prepared beforehand.
Would he care about his father?
When Hua Cangqiong had been around, Tianji Zhenren had taken no small number 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 the other First Seats, including the Sect Leader, into it.
What was even more amusing was that although it began as a chaotic brawl, it always ended up becoming one against six.
Hua Cangqiong was the strongest. When he slapped someone, he never knew restraint, and after beating them into a fury, Sect Leader Yun Tian and the others would join hands against him.
Though they still could not defeat him in the end. Had Grand Uncle-Master Xuanhe not rushed over from the Ancestral Land to mediate, the six of them would have been lying in bed for half a month.

"My father is preparing to break through to become a Great Emperor. He is now a terrifying great expert at the Supreme level."
Hua Yunfei said with a cheerful smile.
Tianji Zhenren had casually found a reason, so Hua Yunfei naturally responded with some symbolic bragging.
"Uh..."
Tianji Zhenren rolled his eyes. Unable to keep up appearances, he sidled over to Hua Yunfei and asked in a low voice, "Nephew Yunfei, how has your martial uncle treated you normally?"
Hua Yunfei cast him a sidelong glance and answered decisively, "Not well. Since I was young, you have swindled more things from me than anyone else."
"My father beat you up plenty of times, didn't he?"
Tianji Zhenren's face fell. "Can we even have a conversation like this?"
"Your martial uncle has suffered bitterly. Ever since I failed to outdo your Martial Uncle Gouyuan and the others..."
"Whenever I run into them, the way they look at me is different now."
"Especially your Martial Uncle Dishen. That closeted fellow still pretends to walk with his head swaying side to side whenever he sees me. That smug look is infuriating beyond words."
Hua Yunfei raised a brow. "Isn't that a good thing?"
