Nine Heavens Divine Weapon! Ink Snow Divine Sword!

The elders nearby smiled when they saw the agreement between the two youths.

They would spur each other on in their cultivation.

A good thing—this was a good thing!

Master Shuiyue looked gently at Lu Xueqi, the affection in her eyes plain to see.

Her gaze then shifted to Ji Changfeng as she said softly, "Changfeng, come visit Xiaozhu Peak more often when you have time."

"Yes, Martial Aunt Shuiyue." Ji Changfeng smiled faintly.

The surrounding disciples all showed looks of surprise.

This... seemed to be the first time their master had said such words to a male disciple?!

Su Ru looked at Master Shuiyue excitedly, her tone slightly agitated. "Senior Sister, I have something to take care of, so I'll head back first. I won't be staying the night at Xiaozhu Peak today. I'll come again next time..."

Right now, she only wanted to return to Dazhu Peak immediately and share this good news with Tian Buyi.

A peerless sword technique!

Changfeng had truly comprehended a peerless sword technique!

Seeing this, Master Shuiyue could not help but shake her head with a laugh.

"Then I won't keep you any longer..."

"When you come to Xiaozhu Peak next time, remember to bring Changfeng along too."

After saying that,

Master Shuiyue looked at Ji Changfeng.

A trace of longing appeared in her eyes.

It was longing for someone from the past.

"Alright." Su Ru did not notice anything unusual about her senior sister.

She hurriedly summoned her Artifact, then pulled Ji Changfeng and Tian Ling'er onto the path back to Dazhu Peak.

Whoosh—

The Artifact shot through the air.

Only a few figures flickered in and out of view in the sky.

Master Shuiyue watched Su Ru leave. Only after their figures had completely vanished from sight did she prepare to turn and depart...

"Hm?"

Just then, Lu Xueqi suddenly noticed a faint glow blooming from the Heavenly Ya Divine Sword in her hand.

Whoosh—

She gently drew the Heavenly Ya Sword.

A pale white Sword Intent hovered around the blade, and within it, a mysterious, indescribable aura flashed past.

"This is..."

A look of confusion appeared on Lu Xueqi's face.

She felt that this aura was somewhat familiar, but because her cultivation was too low, she could not identify it clearly.

Master Shuiyue noticed Lu Xueqi's confusion.

She turned back for a look.

At a glance, she noticed the Sword Intent swirling around the Heavenly Ya Divine Sword.

"This is..."

"The Sword Intent of Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate?"

"Why did he leave his Sword Intent on the Heavenly Ya Divine Sword?"

A trace of surprise appeared in Master Shuiyue's eyes.

She reached out and took the Heavenly Ya Sword, carefully sensing it for a moment.

"So that's how it is..."

Master Shuiyue understood.

What remained on the Heavenly Ya Sword was not only Sword Intent, but also Ji Changfeng's comprehension of Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate. If the wielder could thoroughly grasp this comprehension, they would be able to learn the sword technique Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate...

A smile appeared on Master Shuiyue's face.

She handed the Heavenly Ya Divine Sword back to Lu Xueqi and instructed, "Qi'er, when you have time, study the Sword Intent left on the Heavenly Ya Sword more often. It will benefit you..."

Lu Xueqi silently nodded.

"Hm?"

Just then, she suddenly saw another strand of azure Sword Intent emerge from the Heavenly Ya Sword.

There was more?

Master Shuiyue froze slightly.

After returning to Dazhu Peak,

Su Ru directly abandoned Tian Ling'er and Ji Changfeng, rushing straight to Shoujing Hall to share the good news with Tian Buyi.

Sure enough,

Not long after, a wild burst of laughter rang out from within Shoujing Hall.

"Hahahaha!"

"Dazhu Peak has risen!"

Outside Shoujing Hall,

Tian Ling'er curled her lips. She glanced at Ji Changfeng and said unwillingly, "I really don't know how your brain is made. Why is it different from ours?"

Ji Changfeng smiled faintly.

He ignored Tian Ling'er's grumbling and stepped into Shoujing Hall instead.

Looking around, he saw Su Ru excitedly telling Tian Buyi something. As she spoke, she waved her hands about like a child...

"Ahem."

Tian Buyi caught sight of Ji Changfeng from the corner of his eye and quickly coughed, reminding Su Ru to mind her image.

"Hm?" Su Ru froze slightly. Turning around and seeing Ji Changfeng not far away, she revealed an embarrassed smile.

"Ahem, Changfeng is here?"

"Master, Mistress." Ji Changfeng wore a faint smile, as though he had not noticed Su Ru's lively behavior just now.

He knew Su Ru's personality.

Her dignified and graceful bearing was merely an outward appearance.

In truth, Su Ru was extremely strong-willed.

"Old Seven, what is it?" Tian Buyi asked.

He actually wanted Ji Changfeng to demonstrate Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate for him, but his pride would not allow him to ask.

Ji Changfeng gave Tian Buyi a slight bow and said, "Master, this disciple plans to go down the mountain after some time to seek out some Heavenly Material Earthly Treasure and forge a Magic Tool..."

He was now at the Jade Pure Fifth Layer.

It was time to obtain a Magic Tool of his own.

Hearing this, Tian Buyi froze slightly before asking pensively, "Old Seven, what is your current cultivation?"

"Reporting to Master, this disciple broke through to the Jade Pure Fifth Layer not long ago," Ji Changfeng replied.

Jade Pure Fifth Layer?!

Tian Buyi and Su Ru looked at each other, each seeing a trace of astonishment in the other's eyes.

Fortunately, they had already grown used to it.

With Ji Changfeng's prodigious talent, he could break through at any time.

Tian Buyi shook his head and refused Ji Changfeng's request to descend the mountain. "No. How long have you even been cultivating? At most, it has been less than half a year. As for the matter of a Magic Tool..."

"You needn't wor—"

Before Tian Buyi could finish,

Su Ru suddenly rose from her seat.

She went to the rear courtyard of Shoujing Hall and brought out a box.

"Junior Sister, you..."

The instant Tian Buyi saw that box, his body trembled. A complicated expression flickered in his eyes.

"Buyi." Su Ru gently shook her head. Stroking the box in her hands, she said softly,

"It has been sealed for so long."

"It is time to find it a master."

"Besides, with Changfeng's talent, it would be somewhat unworthy of him if he did not have a Nine Heavens Divine Weapon..."

Curiosity appeared in Ji Changfeng's eyes.

He looked at the box in Su Ru's hands and vaguely guessed what it contained...

Su Ru slowly undid the seal on the box.

Whoosh—

In an instant,

A flash of sword light streaked forth.

Then, a Divine Sword that seemed like jade yet not jade appeared before Ji Changfeng. The entire sword was crystalline, like Autumn Waters, with a straight azure mark running along its spine...

Nine Heavens Divine Weapon—Ink Snow Divine Sword!

Su Ru gently stroked the Ink Snow Sword. She took Ink Snow from the box, then poured spiritual power into it...

Whoosh!

In an instant, pale azure sword light erupted.

Su Ru looked at Ji Changfeng, a trace of gentleness appearing in her eyes as she said,

"Changfeng, today I bestow the Ink Snow Divine Sword upon you."

"I hope that in the future, you will not disgrace its illustrious name!"
