Time has come full circle, and now...
Lang Ping stood under the bright sun, looking down at her current attire.
Even though nothing has changed much, he still feels like a stranger to himself no matter how he looks at himself.
Let alone him now.
If it were the old him, he probably wouldn't even recognize himself now.
The person is still the same.
Her appearance hasn't changed much.
But it's just different.
This is an absolutely revolutionary change.
The most immediate impact was on his cultivation level; this was the biggest change.
In just a few months, he had completely grasped all the points he had never understood before. It was as if his master had broken down and broken down everything, carefully feeding him the principles, the way of the Sword Dao, and everything related to cultivation.
If she still can't get promoted after all this, Lang Ping herself won't forgive herself.
Especially...
My master is really good to me.
He gently stroked the sword at his waist, a hint of indescribable gratitude and complexity flashing in his eyes.
It's not that Elder Liu treated him badly before...
No.
You could say it's not good.
However, he was still grateful to Elder Liu.
After all, without Elder Liu, I probably wouldn't know where I am now, let alone be able to enter the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect, let alone meet my current master.
However, Elder Liu's kindness is absolutely different from Master's kindness.
His master had given him a second chance at life!
Over the past few months, Lang Ping's gratitude towards Lin Xuan has only grown stronger.
Not only did he impart Sword Dao Sword Intent to him, but his master was also incredibly generous to him.
They didn't have any ulterior motives towards him just because he had a master before.
Now, the weapon he uses is a top-grade Emperor Weapon, almost Half-Step Saint Weapon. It was obtained for him by his master without him having to pay any Contribution Points.
He was terrified.
I am extremely grateful.
I also sincerely questioned myself: do I really deserve all of this?
However, his master simply gave him a single sentence.
"Just weapons."
"It's meant to be used by people."
"My disciple, Lin Xuan's disciple, deserves the best in the world. Giving him his services is not a waste of his talent."
Lang Ping has always had some inferiority complex.
But under his master's reassuring tone, the slightest trace of humility, unease, and fear in his heart was strangely and completely soothed.
He gripped the sword tightly in his hand.
This is his sword.
It is also his way.
This is everything he intends to uphold for the rest of his life.
So...
He did not disappoint his master's expectations.
With his inferior talent, he advanced smoothly, mastering everything his master fed him. Now, he has reached the Thearch Realm Third Layer and is no longer the good-for-nothing who couldn't even compare to the inner disciple of the sect.
Now, on the verge of becoming Great Emperor, his entire demeanor exudes a sense of ease and exuberance from within.
During this period of time...
His understanding of Sword Dao, along with his increasing strength and the powerful instruction from his master, has continuously confirmed his conjectures over the years.
Normally, he wouldn't bother with questions that had no answers at all.
The answer almost appeared before his eyes.
His Sword Intent advanced in a terrifying manner.
At first, he only had First Layer Sword Intent.
The improvement of Sword Intent is so slow.
He spent two months without even being able to raise his First Layer Sword Intent.
This is a perfectly normal thing.
Let alone two months.
Even if it's two years.
Twenty years.
It's perfectly normal that there's no improvement in Sword Intent.
However, everyone has a sense of curiosity.
Even someone as reserved as Lang Ping couldn't help but be curious about what kind of people her mentor's other disciples were.
Not to mention, the master would occasionally mention his disciples.
The purpose of mentioning their Sword Dao was to provide an example for Lang Ping.
But all Lang Ping heard was the terrifying speed at which her senior classmates were promoted.
And he also has Sword Dao skills!
They were almost able to condense Sword Domain!
Even the master casually remarked, "Judging by the time, it's been a long time since I've seen your senior sister. I suppose she should have successfully condensed her Sword Domain by now."
success!
Sword Domain!
Lang Ping gritted her teeth, unwilling to be the one who truly held the team back.
Unfortunately...
No progress.
Just when he was doubting whether his initial determination was wrong, his Sword Intent, after a day of his master's sermon, finally began to stir slowly, gradually stepping into the Sword Intent Second Layer.
This seemed to open up a whole new world for Lang Ping.
This also made his Sword Intent, like a flood, completely extraordinary.
One pass.
Baitong.
That's all there is to it.
At this point, he had already reached the Sword Intent Sixth Layer and would soon be able to step into the threshold of the seventh level.
It's only been a few months...
Lang Ping tightened his grip on the sword, gazing at the main hall of the Peak Master, which was now within reach. A mixture of tension and excitement welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
With Sixth Layer Sword Intent, he has lived up to his master's expectations.
Such achievements are rare; how many people in the entire Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect, no, in the entire Heaven-Gazing Domain, could accomplish this?
No!
But he did it!
He really succeeded!
However, just as he was about to enter the Peak Master Peak Master's Hall, he saw Elder Yueying guarding the entrance.
Elder Yueying is one of the disciples of Peak Master Cao Zhengyang.
She stood solemnly at the entrance of the main hall. When she saw him emerge from seclusion, she simply nodded slightly before speaking.
" The Peak Master hall is closed today. Please return."
Lang Ping was slightly taken aback.
The hall is closed...
Why?
For some reason, a bad feeling arose in his heart, but remembering that his master had not given any other instructions, he had no choice but to suppress his unease and bow to Elder Yueying.
"Yes, thank you for the reminder, Elder Yue."
They left and then returned.
On the way down the mountain, Lang Ping's brows furrowed slightly, then quickly relaxed.
That's enough.
He shook his head.
No matter what happens, I still have my Master.
During this period, his trust in Lin Xuan could be described as blind.
In his heart, there was nothing his master couldn't do.
absolute.
Although he descended the mountain alone, appearing somewhat lonely, the journey down was extremely lively.
Nowadays, everyone at Ximu Peak knows that Lang Ping has become the disciple of the deputy Peak Master, her status has risen dramatically, and she is no longer the inconspicuous nobody she once was.
Whenever a disciple of Ximu Peak passed by and saw him, he would lower his head and speak respectfully.
Congratulations, Senior Brother Lang, on completing your seclusion.
" Senior Brother Lang has broken through again! Congratulations, Senior Brother!"
"Senior brother's comprehension is just too exaggerated!"
"Senior brother... when will you teach us about your Sword Dao?"
"Haha, I have a jar of fine wine. Now that Senior Brother Lang has broken through, you shouldn't be stingy! Senior Brother, would you like to drink with us?"
"..."
Countless congratulatory messages rang in Lang Ping's ears.
And all of this was given to him by his master.
For a moment, Lang Ping was slightly lost in thought.
But in fact, not only him, but also these disciples, were all new members of the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect this year.
He wasn't the only one whose fate was changed by his master.
