Enlightenment! Becoming a Disciple!

"Rumble—"

In a daze, Ji Changfeng seemed to see a vast expanse of heaven and earth.

Within that majestic world, people were so insignificant, like mere ants, able only to hide in some corner of the world and struggle to survive...

"Whoosh!!"

But at that moment.

A dazzling sword light suddenly slashed out from some corner of the world.

With a single stroke, clouds stretching for a hundred miles were cleaved apart.

Even that vast heaven and earth were split open by a crack...

"I have a sword that can Open the Heavenly Gate!"

A clear, resonant voice echoed throughout heaven and earth.

"Junior Brother? Little Junior Brother?"

At that moment, someone called out beside his ear.

Ji Changfeng came back to himself and saw Song Daren and Zhang Xiaofan looking at him with concern.

"Junior Brother, are you alright?"

Hearing this, Ji Changfeng suppressed the joy in his heart and gently shook his head. "Senior Brother, I'm fine."

That was what he said aloud.

But something else was on his mind.

Heaven-Defying Comprehension?

Is this my cheat?

With a thought from Ji Changfeng, the supreme Sword Intent of Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate began to flicker around him.

It was an aura of fearless advance and utter dominance, one that dared to draw its sword against anyone. So what if you were an immortal?!

With one sword, even immortals would bow their heads!

"It's good that you're fine, Junior Brother."

Song Daren sighed inwardly in relief.

When he had seen Ji Changfeng suddenly space out, he had thought something had happened to his prospective junior brother.

Of course.

That was only because Song Daren's cultivation was too low.

Had any Peak Master been present and seen Ji Changfeng's state just now, they would surely have been utterly shocked...

Because Ji Changfeng had just entered a state of enlightenment!

Enlightenment!

That was an opportunity that came only once in a century!!

Anyone who entered a state of enlightenment would see their cultivation advance greatly, more or less...

If those Peak Masters learned that such a once-in-a-century enlightenment had happened to a young boy?!

What would they think?!

Song Daren led Ji Changfeng and Zhang Xiaofan across the Sea of Clouds.

As they passed Rainbow Bridge.

Ji Changfeng deliberately glanced beneath the bridge, but he did not see the legendary divine beast, the Water Kirin...

When they reached the mountainside of Tongtian Peak.

Song Daren summoned his immortal sword, Ten Tigers, and called Ji Changfeng and Zhang Xiaofan over.

"Junior Brothers, get on."

"I'll take you straight back to Dazhu Peak."

Ji Changfeng stepped onto it curiously.

Zhang Xiaofan followed behind Ji Changfeng with some apprehension.

"Whoosh—"

The next moment, the immortal sword shot into the sky.

Feeling the fierce wind rushing at him, Ji Changfeng's heart stirred with excitement.

Flying on a sword!

Cultivating immortality!

A dream from his past life had actually come true!

When he had been young.

Give him a wooden stick, and there would not be a single blade of grass left within ten miles; now...

Give him an immortal sword!

He would surely make his name known throughout the world!

Ji Changfeng felt somewhat excited.

"Whoosh—"

The sword light flashed past.

Before long, they had arrived at Dazhu Peak.

At this moment.

All the disciples of Dazhu Peak had gathered in Shoujing Hall.

There were only eight of them in total.

Tian Buyi's family of three, along with five disciples.

"Master, Mistress, this disciple has brought the two little junior brothers back."

Song Daren led Ji Changfeng and Zhang Xiaofan into Shoujing Hall.

The next moment, everyone's gaze turned toward them.

Zhang Xiaofan lowered his head slightly in apprehension.

Ji Changfeng calmly faced everyone's scrutiny without the slightest hint of timidity.

"Hmph."

Tian Buyi snorted coldly. He gave Ji Changfeng an extra look, but said nothing.

"Good children, pay your respects to your master." Su Ru smiled gently at Ji Changfeng and Zhang Xiaofan.

She shot Tian Buyi a subtle glare.

At that moment, Fourth Senior Brother He Dazhi came forward carrying two cups of tea.

Ji Changfeng pulled Zhang Xiaofan forward. The two respectfully kowtowed nine times to Tian Buyi, then Ji Changfeng raised a cup of tea and offered it to him.

"This disciple, Ji Changfeng, pays respects to Master."

Beside him, Zhang Xiaofan hurriedly copied him, fumbling in the process.

Seeing this, Tian Buyi's eyes narrowed slightly.

He gave Ji Changfeng a surprised glance, nodded without betraying any emotion, then accepted the tea and took a light sip.

"From now on, you are Old Seven."

Since Ji Changfeng was Old Seven, Zhang Xiaofan was naturally Old Eight.

Tian Buyi took the tea Zhang Xiaofan offered him and casually set it aside without taking a single sip...

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaofan lowered his head in disappointment.

Tian Buyi waved a hand. "Daren, I'll leave the two of them to you for now. You will teach them the sect rules and commandments, as well as some introductory cultivation techniques."

"Yes, Master!" Song Daren nodded respectfully, but then hesitated. "Master, the two junior brothers are still young. As for the introductory lessons..."

"Do as I say," Tian Buyi said blandly.

With that, he rose and left.

For a moment, the atmosphere in Shoujing Hall immediately relaxed.

Just then, a little girl standing behind Su Ru suddenly skipped over to Ji Changfeng and Zhang Xiaofan.

"Hey, hurry up and call me Senior Sister!"

Ji Changfeng raised an eyebrow slightly at her words.

Looking at the delicate little girl before him, he felt nothing much. He had already lived one life, after all; he would not develop any thoughts toward a little girl.

Even if he did, he would have to wait a few years until Tian Ling'er grew up, right?!

"Greetings, Senior Sister."

Ji Changfeng called out casually.

As though humoring a child.

"Se-Senior Sister." Zhang Xiaofan lowered his head awkwardly, his face slightly flushed. This was the first time in his life he had seen such a pretty girl...

"Hey! What kind of tone is that? Can't you be more sincere?"

Tian Ling'er paid no attention to Zhang Xiaofan. Ji Changfeng's tone displeased her. Why was he being so indifferent?!

Could it be that he did not accept her as his senior sister?

Ji Changfeng was somewhat helpless.

Children really were sensitive.

"Alright, Ling'er. Stop bullying your junior brothers." Su Ru stepped forward and tapped Tian Ling'er.

"Hmph!" Tian Ling'er huffed angrily.

She glared fiercely at Ji Changfeng, trying to scare him with it...

But unfortunately.

Ji Changfeng merely glanced at her indifferently.

He showed no reaction whatsoever.

Seeing this, the senior brothers in Shoujing Hall burst into laughter and began to tease her.

"Junior Sister Ling'er, it seems Little Junior Brother doesn't accept you as his senior sister?"

"Exactly, exactly."

Faced with the teasing from all her senior brothers, the young Tian Ling'er shot Ji Changfeng an annoyed look.

"Ahem..."

But at that moment, Su Ru suddenly coughed lightly.

At once.

The entire Shoujing Hall fell silent.

Su Ru's beautiful eyes swept over the disciples as she said, "The Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament will be held before long, and you all..."

"Mistress!" Song Daren suddenly interrupted.

"What is it?" Su Ru frowned.

Song Daren hurriedly said, "Mistress, this disciple still needs to teach the two little junior brothers their lessons and the sect commandments, so I'll be going..."

Su Ru pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Go on, then."

The moment she finished speaking.

Song Daren immediately dragged Ji Changfeng and Zhang Xiaofan out of Shoujing Hall, paying no heed to the curses from his fellow disciples.

"Eldest Senior Brother! You coward!"

"Coward!"

"Shut up! Let me properly test how well you've been keeping up with your studies..."

At Su Ru's light rebuke.

The disciples of Dazhu Peak immediately began to wail.
