Elder Bai: Senior Brother, Times Have Changed

Another year is approaching.

In the main Miscellaneous Dao Institute Academy, Chu Feng stood in the courtyard and sighed.

He hasn't celebrated the New Year since he transmigrated, after all, a year is just a fleeting moment for a cultivator.

During that year, all his disciples made progress.

Xiao Chen broke through to the Second Level of Spirit Nurturing, Cao Youqian broke through to the Seventh Level of Heavenly Origin, Qin Qin reached the Third Level of Heavenly Origin Realm, Wang Baole reached the Eighth Level of True Fate, Ye Beixuan Ninth Level of Dao Foundation, Xu Caichen Dao Foundation Fifth Layer.

This added 260 years to Chu Feng's cultivation level, bringing his current cultivation level to 1800 years.

However, once you reach the Half-Saint Realm, to advance further, it's not just about cultivation level, but also about your understanding of the True Essence of the Great Dao.

Chu Feng now possesses 40 True Essence of the Great Dao, which barely qualifies him as a mid-level among Half-Saint.

To break through to the Saint Realm, Half-Saint needs at least eighty-one True Essence of the Great Dao, using the number ninety-nine to deduce their own Law of the Great Dao.

However, not every Half-Saint chooses to deduce their own Law of the Great Dao when they possess the eighty-one True Essence of the Great Dao. Instead, they choose to deduce it when they have grasped the one hundred True Essence of the Great Dao. Anyone who has comprehended the one hundred True Essence of the Great Dao will surely be able to deduce the Law of the Great Dao.

However, this is only the most basic Law of the Great Dao. To deduce the perfect Law of the Great Dao, one needs the True Essence of the Great Dao.

Chu Feng's goal was to accumulate 999 True Essence of the Great Dao. Thinking of this, he also thought of his two newly initiated disciples.

"I wonder how Han Ping and Caiyi are doing with their cultivation?"

He muttered something to himself, and was about to go check on his two disciples when a familiar mechanical voice echoed in his mind again.

"Host's disciple Han Ping has entered the Longevity Art and broken through a minor realm. The host is rewarded with the Longevity Art reaching its peak, cultivation +10."

Upon hearing the voice, Chu Feng murmured, "So this is the New Year's gift Han boy gave me? Not bad, not bad."

As he spoke, he quickened his pace and headed towards the villa where Han Ping was.

At the entrance of the Dao-Seeking Academy.

A figure suddenly descended from the sky, immediately attracting the attention of the disciples patrolling the mountain.

The leading deacon, accompanied by his fellow disciples, strode towards the figure, shouting, "Who goes there?"

The newcomer was an elderly man with white hair and beard. He smiled at the disciples of the Dao-Seeking Academy and said, "I am an old man, Mo Yu. I was once a student of the Dao Seeking Academy. I have come today to visit an old friend. This is my old identification badge."

Mo Yu handed over an identity token as she spoke.

The steward then took the waist token and glanced at it, confirming that it was from the Dao-Seeking Academy. However, it had a "Leaving" mark on it, indicating that the senior in front of him had already left the Dao-Seeking Academy.

"So it's my martial uncle visiting. May I ask which elder he wishes to see? I'll inform him immediately."

Mo Yu smiled and said, "I've come to see Elder Bai, my junior brother from the External Affairs Institute. I would appreciate it if you could do me a favor."

The steward, being a disciple of the External Affairs Institute, looked at the old man with more respect upon hearing this.

"Please wait a moment, senior."

After he finished speaking, he whistled, and a hawk appeared in front of everyone.

After the steward whispered a few words to the spirit eagle, the spirit eagle flew towards the External Affairs Institute.

Before a cup of tea could be brewed, a hearty laugh echoed from the horizon, "Senior Brother Mo, what wind blew you here?"

Before he could finish speaking, Elder Bai had already descended from the sky and landed in front of Mo Yu.

Mo Yu smiled and said, "This isn't the place to talk. Let's go have a couple of drinks first, and then I'll have a proper chat with you."

"Okay, no problem."

After Elder Bai finished speaking, he took Mo Yu and flew towards the direction of the External Affairs Institute.

In a separate courtyard of the External Affairs Institute, after a cup of tea...

Elder Bai spoke up, "Senior Brother Mo, it's been over two hundred years since we last parted ways, hasn't it?"

Mo Yu nodded. "That's right, more than two hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye. When I left the Dao-Seeking Academy, we were both just True Disciples. When we meet again, you are already Dao Integration Elder."

Elder Bai smiled and asked, "As the saying goes, 'No one visits the temple without a reason.' What brings you here today, Senior Brother?"

Mo Yu did not answer, but instead released his aura, and a Nirvana Realm aura instantly enveloped the entire courtyard.

Elder Bai felt this terrifying pressure and his expression changed slightly. "Senior Brother, it's only been a little over two hundred years, and you've actually Nirvana!"

well...

Mo Yu sighed deeply, "Setbacks make people grow. In the past two hundred years, I have experienced the ups and downs of life, and almost caused the Mo Clan line to die out."

Upon hearing this, Elder Bai suddenly recalled an event that occurred a hundred years ago. He had thought that his senior brother had passed away in that incident, but he never expected that his senior brother was not only alive and well, but had also become stronger. Could it be because he had been living too comfortably?

"So, Senior Brother, you've come to the Dao-Seeking Academy this time to seek reinforcements, hoping we can help you reclaim Heavenly Saber Manor?"

Mo Yu smiled and said, "No, I came here this time to take Baole away. A few years ago, I secretly escorted him to the Dao-Seeking Academy and saw him enter the Dao-Seeking Academy with my own eyes. That's why I took a gamble and broke through to Nirvana."

Now that I have broken through to Nirvana, it is natural for me to take Baole with me, to let him cultivate the Heavenly Saber of my Mo Clan, and to fight my way back to the Heavenly Saber Manor.

Elder Bai listened to Mo Yu's words, the image of a Little Fatty gradually appeared in his mind.

"So Junior Nephew Wang is your grandson, Senior Brother. No wonder he brought the Dao-Seeking Token back then. I was wondering how the Wang Clan's kid could have the Mo Clan's Dao-Seeking Token."

Halfway through his sentence, Elder Bai abruptly changed the subject. "Senior Brother Mo, since you came out of seclusion, haven't you inquired about anything happening in the cultivation world?"

Mo Yu shook his head. "I'm so eager to find my grandson, I wouldn't have time to inquire about such gossip."

No wonder.

Elder Bai's face showed a look of sudden realization.

But Mo Yu interpreted this expression differently. His face changed slightly. "Junior Brother Bai, you're not going to tell me that my Baole has run into trouble at the Dao-Seeking Academy, are you?"

Seeing this, Elder Bai smiled and said, "Of course not. With no Saint or Great Sage appearing in this world, no one can harm Junior Nephew Wang. However, I think Junior Nephew Wang probably won't leave the Dao-Seeking Academy with you, after all, times have changed."

Everyone here is smart; Mo Yu could easily tell that Junior Brother Bai was implying that the Heavenly Saber lineage of his Mo Clan had declined.

If Mo Yu hadn't known that Junior Brother Bai wasn't the type to fawn over the powerful and belittle the weak, he would have turned on him.

"Junior Brother Bai, could you please give me an answer?"

Elder Bai smiled and said, "Since Senior Brother wants the answer, then come with me to the Miscellaneous Dao Institute."

Bang!

Upon hearing this, Mo Yu slammed the teacup in her hand onto the ground.

This sudden turn of events left everyone in the villa stunned.

???

Elder Bai looked at Mo Yu with suspicion. "Senior brother, why are you suddenly so angry?"

Mo Yu said coldly, "Junior Brother Bai, how dare you ask me Dao-Seeking Token? My Mo Clan family descendant came to the Dao-Seeking Academy with the Dao Inquiry Token to become a disciple, and your External Affairs Institute just sent him to the Miscellaneous Dao Institute. This is a slap in the face to our Mo Clan!"

Elder Bai wasn't angry when he heard this. He just smiled and explained, "Senior brother, even if you want to get angry, there's no need to rush. Let's go to the Miscellaneous Dao Institute and see Junior Nephew Wang first."

As the saying goes, "You can't hit someone who's smiling at you."

Although Mo Yu was displeased, she suppressed her anger. "Fine, I'd like to see how you're going to deal with Baole!!!"
