Xie Feng looked at the brightest star in the night sky and said, "On that planet, I sensed the aura of an advanced civilization."
Ge Ya said, "Ah, that is the Third Heavens, also known as the ' Dao Realm.' Life there is similar to that of the Upper Realm, but the civilization Upper Realm is far more advanced!"
"A more advanced civilization..." Xie Feng murmured softly.
"That's a much wider world, a more advanced civilization. You'll see when you get there!" Ge Ya said.
"Above the Saint Emperor, there are other realms, right?"
Xie Feng asked.
Ge Ya chuckled, "The path of cultivation is endless; it depends on your pursuit."
"I want to become... someone as powerful as my master." Xie Feng looked at the distant starry river, his expression serious and his gaze deep.
Wow, that's amazing! Thumbs up!
Ge Ya extended his right hand, made a fist, and then gave Xie Feng a thumbs-up.
Xie Feng smiled, "Senior brother, I want to go to the Dao Realm, to explore that unknown world. Xuanji Sect... let's stay in the Upper Realm for now. I can't take risks in unfamiliar surroundings."
Ge Ya said, " Xuanji Sect, Demonic Sect, and Seven Stars Domain are all one family, so we won't speak like three different people. We'll look out for each other! When do you want to set off?"
Xie Feng said, "Before that, I want to... say goodbye to someone..."
Ge Ya shrugged. "Alright, then hurry up and come back. I'll be waiting for you here!"
Xie Feng nodded. "Okay!"
"Ah?"
The Azure King and the White King overheard their words "unintentionally" and were instantly dumbfounded. They said in unison.
Is this demon going to stay here?
Are they afraid this cemetery is too quiet?!
Their faces showed extreme reluctance, yet they remained meek and submissive, daring not to say anything.
Ge Ya glared at him. "Huh? What? You're not welcoming this emperor?"
"Welcome, welcome..."
The Azure King and the White King, with mournful faces, said against their will.
Ge Ya then stopped.
Xie Feng left the First Sequence and returned to the Xuanji Sect. He summoned Cang Shanhu, who had grown up considerably in the past few years. Not only had her talent become increasingly apparent, but her personality had also become more composed.
"Disciple greets Sect Master!"
Cang Shanhu clasped her hands in greeting, her voice still retaining a childlike innocence.
She had a graceful demeanor, bright and piercing eyes, and always exuded a firm and calm temperament.
No wonder Jun Ran values her so much. He's been watching her grow up; this child is bound to be an unparalleled prodigy when she grows up.
"The head of the Green Duckweed Manor has taken a liking to your talent and wants you to study under her. Shanhu, you must make the decision yourself," Xie Feng said.
Cang Shanhu was taken aback. "Sect Master... this disciple doesn't understand what you mean..."
Xie Feng added, "Simply sending you to the Green Duckweed Manor for cultivation will not change your status; you will still be a member of the Xuanji Sect."
Cang Shanhu had previously thought that the sect leader didn't want her anymore. Upon hearing this, she breathed a sigh of relief, then tilted her head, frowned, and seriously considered her future.
A moment later...
Cang Shanhu looked at Xie Feng and nodded, saying, "This disciple is willing to go!"
Xie Feng nodded.
Cang Shanhu added softly, "In the future... this disciple will continue to follow the sect leader and become the pride of the Xuanji Sect."
Xie Feng smiled, "Alright, I look forward to you becoming the pride of the Xuanji Sect! Now... let's go!"
The two left Azure Jade Heaven and arrived at the Green Duckweed Manor in Phoenix Heaven, where they met Jun Ran.
Jun Ran tossed her long, dazzling golden hair, her lake-blue eyes gazing at Xie Feng, and smiled, "Honorable guest, I am so sorry for not welcoming you sooner!"
"I've come to fulfill my promise," Xie Feng said, leading Cang Shanhu. "This is my most valued disciple; I'm entrusting her to you."
Jun Ran. She gently pulled Cang Shanhu closer, lovingly ruffling the girl's hair, her eyes filled with joy. At this moment, she saw a future female Supreme!
This is a piece of uncut jade!
It needs meticulous craftsmanship and polishing!
One day...
She will quietly amaze everyone...
Jun Ran said to Xie Feng, "Since you're here, have a cup of tea!"
Xie Feng said, "I've come for Senior Jing Yuan; I have some things I'd like to say to her."
Jun Ran silent for a moment, then she raised her bright, autumn-like eyes and smiled as if she saw through him, "You've come to say goodbye?"
Xie Feng asked, "You know?"
Jun Ran narrowed his eyes slightly, concealing a hint of emotion.
"A shallow pond cannot trap a true dragon. With your talent and strength, the Upper Realm will not be the final destination of your cultivation."
"You ascended from the Lower Realm, and in just three short years, you have shocked the world, shaken this land, reshaped the world order, and created a series of unsurpassable myths."
"Now that you say you're leaving, for some reason, I have a strange feeling that it's all a dream..."
Jun Ran said with a hint of barely perceptible disappointment.
She had feelings for Xie Feng...
From unfamiliarity to curiosity to shock to admiration!
However, Xie Feng held a higher ideal in his heart: cultivation was paramount, and he had an even more unwavering pursuit—one that was younger and more glorious!
Because of her low self-esteem, she would never reveal anything on her own initiative!
They wouldn't even look at me!
It's best to remain peaceful friends!
Xie Feng asked, "Where is the senior?"
Jun Ran extended her jade-like fingers, tucked her hair slightly, and let out a soft sigh, "Let's go, I'll take you to see her."
They crossed Heaven-Severing Lake and arrived at the thatched cottage. The familiar yellow bamboo fence came into view, and the wooden door was tightly closed. The mountain was quiet and secluded.
"Disciple requests an audience with Master!"
Jun Ran addressed the thatched hut with a respectful tone.
No response!
Jun Ran repeated it again.
No response!
Jun Ran was clearly used to it; she said with a wry smile, "Master is probably in seclusion again..."
Xie Feng walked to the wooden door and said, "Junior Xie Feng greets Senior!"
Jing Yuan had a deep connection with his master and taught him the Supreme Sword. In Xie Feng's heart, she was a very important benefactor, so before leaving, he felt it was necessary to say goodbye to her.
The words had barely left his mouth...
"Are you trying to call my soul back? Can't a person take a nap? You brat, disturbing me again! What is it?!"
The wooden gate creaked open, and Jing Yuan walked out with a dark expression.
Jun Ran: "..."
She called him twice without getting a response, but came out as soon as Xie Feng spoke...
Master, is it really necessary to be so blatantly biased?!
I'm your own disciple!
Xie Feng was used to her bad temper and simply said in a deep voice, "Senior, I'm leaving now. Farewell."
Jing Yuan frowned slightly, her sharp gaze sweeping over him. "Leave? Where to?"
Xie Feng said, " The Dao Realm!"
Upon hearing this name, Jing Yuan's eyes flickered slightly. She frowned and suddenly punched the ground, creating a hundred-foot-deep crater!
Jing Yuan's face showed anger!
???
Xie Feng and Jun Ran stunned.
What happened?
This senior colleague is so unpredictable!
Why did they suddenly attack?!
Seeing the rage blazing in Jing Yuan's eyes, they dared not speak, nor dared they ask...
At this moment, Jing Yuan was furious! Extremely furious!
Because Xie Feng is too strong!
She was angry precisely because Xie Feng was so strong! Why did someone have to raise their disciple so carelessly? Why didn't they train him properly?!
This is such a monstrous genius, can't you even put a little more effort into him?!
Otherwise, Xie Feng would have gone to the Dao Realm much sooner!
That's where the true strong rule!
She was so angry she had angina!
"Like teacher, like student; neither of them will stay long! Let's stop arguing and go!"
Jing Yuan waved his hand.
