Outer Sect Competition, I, Ye Beixuan, Am Back!

Tranquil Courtyard, a secluded courtyard.

After returning from Dao Comprehension Cliff, Liu Yue'er locked herself in her room for seven days and seven nights. The first thing she did when she went out was to find Xiao Chen.

"Senior Brother, could you tell me about what you've gained at the Dao Comprehension Cliff?"

"Of course."

Xiao Chen's affection for Liu Yue'er was self-evident, and guiding her in cultivation was nothing special to him.

"I'd like to hear it too."

The Mountain-Moving Marquis appeared beside Xiao Chen with an air of mystery and curiosity on his face.

Liu Yue'er subconsciously asked, "Senior, does someone as powerful as you need to listen to the Dao?"

Mountain-Moving Marquis smiled and said, "For a Nirvana cultivator to break through to the Half-Saint, the most important thing is to comprehend the True Essence of the Great Dao. Cultivation level is secondary. Every discussion of the Dao and every battle provides a rare opportunity for cultivators to pursue the True Essence of the Great Dao."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yue'er murmured, "So that's how it is. No wonder the Ancestor always went into seclusion to comprehend the Dao."

Mountain-Moving Marquis continued, "The reason I said that Little Chen could break through to the Half-Saint within a hundred years is because this kid has extraordinary comprehension; he might even comprehend the True Essence of the Great Dao before I do."

Xiao Chen: "Senior, you flatter me. It is my honor to discuss the Xiao Chen with you. Junior Sister Liu, please brew a pot of tea, and we can discuss the Dao while drinking tea."

"Um."

Liu Yue'er responded and then turned to brew tea.

Before long, the three of them sat around the tea table and began to discuss philosophy.

Xiao Chen spoke first, "In my opinion, the Penglai Sword God is following the Heaven-Ascending Sword Dao. His life goal is to ascend. The phrase ' Ride the Wind and controlling the sword to the nine heavens' in the tenth stone chamber is the best proof of this."

These seven short characters contain unparalleled Sword Dao, in no way inferior to the God-Slaying Sword Dao. His Sword Dao is remarkably similar to the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin taught to me by my master. It borrows the power of heaven and earth to gather into an unparalleled sword, strengthens the will to ascend to the heavens, and with the final sword strike, ascends to the ninth heaven.

After listening, Mountain-Moving Marquis said, "It seems that this Penglai Sword God has already taken that step, intending to condense True God Totem and bear the Mandate of Heaven's Mandate. It's a pity that he didn't succeed in the end, otherwise he would have been an Immortal Emperor, not just a Sword God."

Liu Yue'er asked, "Senior, could you tell us how the Divine Emperor cultivated himself into Immortal Emperor?"

Mountain-Moving Marquis's lips curled slightly upward. "The Divine Emperor is too far away for you. You should first become saints, and you will naturally get the answer. After all, everyone's path to sainthood is different. If I were to say it in advance, it would only affect your Dao heart."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yue'er stopped asking questions and continued to seek advice from Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen answered all the questions in detail, and would occasionally demonstrate them to Liu Yue'er. The discussion didn't end until evening.

"Senior, Junior Sister Liu, I have gained new insights from this trip to the Dao Comprehension Cliff. I plan to go into seclusion for a period of time to cultivate. If anyone comes to visit, I hope you two can refuse them on my behalf," Xiao Chen said.

"Good."

Mountain-Moving Marquis Yishan responded. In his opinion, Xiao Chen didn't need to pay much attention to these cultivators in the Thousand Islands Sea. They were a bunch of useless people who possessed a mountain of treasures but couldn't become saints. What right did they have to disturb Xiao Chen's cultivation?

After bidding farewell to the two, Xiao Chen went into seclusion to cultivate. This time, he planned to break through to the Spirit Nurturing Realm.

One morning five months later.

In the quiet room of the secluded courtyard, Xiao Chen opened his eyes and murmured, "Finally, I've broken through to the Spirit Nurturing Realm. I wonder how my master and fellow disciples are doing now. I should go back to the Dao-Seeking Academy to check on them."

The Dao-Seeking Academy has been unusually lively lately.

The triennial Outer Court Grand Competition will be held in seven days. Outer disciples who have been training outside have returned to the Dao-Seeking Academy, intending to show their skills in this competition.

In the Miscellaneous Dao Institute, in the master bedroom of the first detached courtyard.

"Host's eldest disciple, Xiao Chen, has broken through to the Spirit Nurturing Realm. Host is rewarded with fifty years of cultivation."

The familiar mechanical voice woke Chu Feng from his dream. He sprang up from the bed with a jolt, sat on the edge of the bed, and muttered, "Chen'er's cultivation speed is really fast. It seems that Chen'er has gained a lot from this Penglai Sword Debate."

Of course, Chu Feng's greatest gain was that one of his disciples broke through to the Spirit Nurturing Realm, which granted him fifty years of cultivation. Now his cultivation has exceeded 1,500 years, and it should be noted that only two years have passed since he entered the Great Void Secret Realm.

Besides Xiao Chen, the other disciples also made significant gains. Cao Youqian is now a cultivator at the sixth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm, Qin Qin is currently in seclusion preparing to break through to the Heavenly Origin Heavenly Origin, and Wang Baole is a cultivator at the sixth level of the True Fate Realm.

Judging by the speed at which these disciples cultivate, becoming a saint within a hundred years is not a dream for me.

However, on the other hand, Beixuan should be emerging from seclusion soon. I wonder what kind of surprise he will bring me this time?

Thinking of this, Chu Feng Chu Feng was in a great mood. He decided to treat himself and started working in the kitchen.

Currently, although he has four disciples by his side in the Miscellaneous Dao Institute, Ye Beixuan and Qin Qin are both in seclusion, while Xu Caichen and Nie Xiuyuan are both cultivation fanatics who are active at night and sleep during the day.

The huge Miscellaneous Dao Institute was quiet during the day, which made Chu Feng feel a little uncomfortable.

After a busy morning, Chu Feng prepared a table full of dishes and called out towards Elder Bing's bedroom, "Elder Bing, come out for lunch."

Creak!

Elder Bing opened the door and looked at the table full of delicious food. A look of doubt appeared on his face, and he subconsciously asked a question.

"Sir, is there something good happening today?"

Chu Feng was stunned for a moment, and as he was thinking about how to explain, a familiar mechanical voice rang in his mind.

"Disciple Ye Beixuan has comprehended the Primordial Chaos Intent and broken through a minor realm. The host is rewarded with the Primordial Chaos Intent Great Completion and ten years of cultivation."

His eyes lit up immediately, and he said with a smile, "I sensed that Beixuan was on the verge of a breakthrough as soon as I got up this morning, so I prepared a table full of dishes in advance to wait for him to come over."

Elder Bing didn't doubt it too much when he heard this. The master was a Half-Saint, and as long as he wanted to know, no movement on Miaomiao Mountain could escape his perception.

"Shouldn't we wait for Junior Nephew Ye?"

Chu Feng said, "He'll be here soon. Besides, there's no reason for a master to wait for his disciple. Let's eat first."

That's correct.

Elder Bing then sat down, awaiting Ye Beixuan's arrival.

In no time at all, Ye Beixuan arrived at the main courtyard with an excited expression.

"Master, I have finally comprehended the Primordial Chaos Intent! I am certain I will win first place in this competition!"

After Ye Beixuan finished speaking, he looked at his master and mistress with anticipation. To his disappointment, his master and mistress seemed to have known all along, and there was not a trace of surprise in their eyes.

Chu Feng waved to him. "I understand, come and have lunch with us."

"Promise."

Ye Beixuan walked towards the dining table and sat down opposite Chu Feng.

Seeing his slight disappointment, Elder Bing said, "Your master sensed that you were about to break through, so he personally cooked this whole meal, just waiting for you to come and share the good news."

Upon hearing this, Ye Beixuan's eyes lit up. Yes, his master, such a supreme being, had noticed his breakthrough long ago, and he was still complacent.

He smiled and said, "Thank you, Master."

Chu Feng said, "No need for thanks. This time, our Miscellaneous Dao Institute is counting on you."

"Um."

Ye Beixuan nodded, his curiosity returning as he had always felt. The Outer Sect Grand Competition— Ye Beixuan was back...
