People's Joys and Sorrows Are Not Shared

boom...

Dao-Seeking Academy, Heavenly Spirit Institute.

A powerful aura erupted from the main courtyard like a volcanic eruption, shooting straight into the sky.

It drew the attention of all the cultivators in the entire Dao-Seeking Academy.

"Holy crap, what the hell?"

On Miaomiao Mountain, before the Great Sage Golden Wing could even be happy for three seconds, he was startled by the huge commotion.

"The Carefree Sword King /Master has broken through to a higher realm."

Chu Feng and Bing Yan said in unison.

The Great Sage Golden Wing sensed the aura and muttered, "What Xiaoyao brat. I can finally find someone to practice with."

Upon hearing this Chu Feng rolled his eyes at the guy.

"Have some decency!"

Great Sage Golden Wing: "I'm not human, but what you said makes sense. Let him be happy for a couple of days first, then I'll go and test my skills on him. That way, I won't embarrass him."

Chu Feng patted the Great Sage Golden Wing on the shoulder and said meaningfully, "Eagle, you've grown up and learned to think."

Great Sage Golden Wing: "..."

He wanted to retort, but knowing he couldn't beat the other person, he chose to remain silent.

A day later, the Carefree Sword King successfully broke through to the Half-Saint, and extraordinary phenomena enveloped the entire Dao-Seeking Academy.

Students and teachers alike began cultivating themselves under this extraordinary phenomenon.

After the strange phenomenon ended, several more auras burst forth from within the Dao-Seeking Academy.

The students and instructors, who had just finished their cultivation, jumped up excitedly upon seeing these several auras.

"I Dao-Seeking Academy, another top disciple is about to break through to the Half-Saint realm!"

"Judging from this trend, I Dao-Seeking Academy will also become Half-Saint, and we can also bask in this Half-Saint light and reach a higher level."

"..."

The simultaneous breakthrough of eight powerful King Conferment to the Half-Saint Realm is a scene rarely seen even in a holy land, perhaps only once every few hundred or even a thousand years.

Chu Feng watched the streaks of energy shooting straight into the sky and murmured, "This is probably one of the benefits of cultivating in a holy land. Not only do you have renowned teachers to guide you, but you also often encounter extraordinary celestial phenomena that help you break through."

Bing Yan, who had just finished cultivating, slowly opened her eyes and said, "All of this is thanks to Chu Lang. If you weren't so famous, Master and Uncle-Master wouldn't have made such a decision."

In the dean's separate courtyard.

The dean stroked his beard, beaming with pride, and said with a smile, "In this life, I Dao-Seeking Academy will flourish, but I wonder if anyone will ascend to the throne and rule the Eight Desolations!"

Within the Heavenly Spirit Institute.

The Carefree Sword King —no, now the Carefree Great Sage —looked at the eight powerful auras, a slight smile playing on his lips, "These old fogies, let's see how you brag in front of me now!"

After speaking, he turned to Ye Lingxiao beside him and said calmly, "Lingxiao, take my token and inform the elders that I will be giving a lecture for seven days. All elders, deacons, and true disciples of my Heavenly Spirit Institute are qualified to Great Sage my lecture."

"Promise."

Ye Lingxiao received his master's token and excitedly went to inform the elders that his Heavenly Spirit Institute now had Great Sage in charge, and that in time he could become a prospective holy son of the Dao-Seeking Academy!

Seven days later.

The Carefree Great Sage held a lecture at the Heavenly Spirit Institute, while the other heads of the various academies kept a low profile.

The Great Sage Xuanhuo arrived at Miaomiao Mountain and found Chu Feng.

"Junior greets Senior, congratulations on becoming Half-Saint."

Chu Feng greeted Great Sage Xuanhuo with a smile.

"Eh..."

The Great Sage Xuanhuo waved his hand dismissively. "Don't bother with such formalities, kid. I've heard you've brewed quite a bit of sacred wine. Hurry up and let me have a taste."

Chu Feng smiled and said, "No problem, but a friend of mine would like to spar with you, senior. I just don't know if you're available?"

"Your friend isn't you, is it?"

Great Sage Xuanhuo gave him a look that said, "I saw right through you." He continued, "I've only grasped two points of the True Essence of the Great Dao; I'm no match for you, kid. Don't try to bully an old man like me."

Chu Feng Chu Feng in a serious tone, "Senior, am I that kind of person?"

"To be honest, the person who wants to fight you is actually an old friend of yours."

"Oh?"

Great Sage Xuanhuo was taken aback for a moment. "Could it be that some old man wanted to spar with me, but was afraid of losing face in front of the younger generation, so he asked you to tell me?"

Chu Feng grinned. "You'll understand when you meet that friend."

Where is he?

The Great Sage Xuanhuo also became interested and looked around.

"Xuanhuo, we meet again."

The voice of the Great Sage Golden Wing arrived before he did.

Great Sage Xuanhuo looked closely and saw a heroic and extraordinary young man standing in front of him. He felt a very familiar aura about this young man.

Seeing the old man scrutinizing him like this, the Great Sage Golden Wing said with a smile, "Xuanhuo, how come you don't recognize your Brother Eagle after only a few hundred years?"

"Senior Brother Golden Wing, you've reached the Half-Saint Realm?"

Great Sage Xuanhuo stared at the young man in astonishment, as memories of his death suddenly flooded back, and his body reacted with discomfort.

"Good."

The Great Sage Golden Wing explained unhurriedly, "Thanks to my brother Feng's guidance, I was able to break through to the Half-Saint Realm and become a Great Sage. You and I haven't sparred for hundreds of years. Now that we're both Great Sage, how about we exchange some moves?"

"Good."

Great Sage Xuanhuo agreed without hesitation. In his view, everyone had just broken through to the Half-Saint Realm, and it was hard to say who was stronger than whom.

"Walk."

Great Sage Golden Wing took the lead and flew into the sky, followed closely by Great Sage Xuanhuo.

Two and a half hours later, Great Sage Xuanhuo landed on the ground with a pair of panda-like pandas on his head, looking at Chu Feng with a resentful expression.

"Little Feng, I considered you a friend, but I never expected you to betray me like this."

Chu Feng was speechless. "Senior, you could have refused."

"Snort!"

Great Sage Xuanhuo sneered, "Hurry up and give me the sacred wine, lest I suffer a beating for nothing."

Chu Feng: "..."

Over the next two days, the Great Sage Golden Wing beat up all seven other chief disciples of the Dao-Seeking Academy, and each one of them slapped him in the face.

This led all the senior monks who were originally going to preach to their disciples to choose to go into seclusion.

Conversely, the Carefree Sword King spoke to his disciples with great enthusiasm and confidence.

Chu Feng sat in front of the waterfall with two little girls, listening to the Great Sage Golden Wing describe his battles with the eight chief masters.

After finishing his lecture, the Great Sage Golden Wing muttered to himself, "What a lucky Xiaoyao! I originally planned to be the last one to beat him up, but seeing how smug he is lecturing, I decided to let him run around for a couple more days. I wonder how long this little guy will keep showing off?"

Thinking of the miserable state of the other chiefs, Chu Feng muttered, "Indeed, people's joys and sorrows are not shared."

At dusk, in the main courtyard of Heavenly Spirit Institute.

The Carefree Great Sage had been preaching for three days. As he answered all the questions from his disciples, the sermon was coming to an end. However, he felt that something was missing. When his peripheral vision caught sight of Bing Yan in the corner, he finally remembered a question. In these three days...

His most prized disciple didn't react at all, so he turned his gaze to Bing Yan...
