Three Years

"Lord Lao's Heart Sutra of Purity and Tranquility"

Xiao Chen and the others received the scriptures bestowed upon them by Chu Feng, and excited expressions appeared on their faces.

Chu Feng said, "That's right, it is indeed Lord Lao's Heart Sutra of Purity and Tranquility. From now on, you should focus on cultivating your minds."

"We will obey our Master's command."

Everyone said in unison.

"Alright, everyone go and seriously cultivate your minds."

Chu Feng waved his hand and then returned to his room.

The disciples also left the separate courtyard one by one to go to their respective secluded meditation spots to cultivate their minds.

Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the course of three years, little has changed on Miaomiao Mountain.

All the disciples were focused on cultivation, and none of them went down the mountain to gain experience. Apart from Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian, whose reputations remained, the other disciples seemed to have faded into obscurity.

Even within the Dao-Seeking Academy, apart from Han Ping, Chu Caiyi, and Fang Mu bringing a small shock to the young people of the Dao-Seeking Academy during the True Disciple and Inner Sect competitions, the rest of them did not make many appearances.

The legend of the Miscellaneous Dao Institute has continued within the Dao-Seeking Academy, but ordinary students rarely get to witness the brilliance of these prodigies.

Although the disciples' cultivation speed on Miaomiao Mountain was not as fast as in the Desolate Ancient City, they all made progress.

Xiao Chen: Third Level of the Dao Integration Realm, Cao Youqian: Dao Integration Level 2, Qin Qin: Dao Integration Layer 1, Wang Baole: Spirit Nurturing Layer 8, Ye Beixuan: Spirit Nurturing Layer 5, Xu Caichen: Spirit Nurturing Level 4, Han Ping: Heavenly Origin Level 2, Chu Caiyi: True Fate Seventh Layer, Fang Mu: True Fate Level 4.

Even Nie Xiuyuan was traveling abroad, entered the sixth level of the Dao Integration Realm. The breakthroughs of the disciples also allowed Chu Feng's cultivation to break through the 5,000-year mark, and his lifespan underwent a qualitative change, breaking through the 10,000-year mark.

Miscellaneous Dao Institute, Chu Feng sat alone reading a book. Bing Yan had recently gone into seclusion, preparing to break through to the Late Nirvana, and he had nothing to do.

"Master, Master."

A girl's voice interrupted Chu Feng's thoughts. He immediately put down the book in his hand and looked towards the door.

A graceful young girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old was skipping and hopping towards him.

Chu Feng smiled and asked the newcomer, "Qianqian, why are you smiling so happily? What brings you here to see your master?"

Chen Qianqian asked, "Master, I'll be eighteen tomorrow. Have you prepared any birthday presents for me?"

Chu Feng stood up and patted Chen Qianqian's head. "You little rascal, how could your teacher forget your birthday? You'll see when the time comes."

"Thank you, Master."

Chen Qianqian smiled sweetly, but quickly revealed a regretful expression. "I wonder when Master's wife will be able to emerge from seclusion."

Chu Feng laughed and said, "You should be out of seclusion in less than a month. How come you already miss your master's wife after less than a month?"

"Um."

Chen Qianqian nodded obediently. In her mind, her master and mistress were no different from her own parents. The only pity was that her master and mistress did not give her a younger brother or sister.

Chu Feng: "Alright, don't worry about it. Just relax and wait for tomorrow's birthday party."

A day passes in the blink of an eye.

That evening, Miaomiao Mountain was filled with guests. Elders and stewards who were on good terms with Chu Feng came to attend Chen Qianqian's birthday banquet.

Chen Qianqian was completely unknown among the disciples of the Dao-Seeking Academy.

But among the middle and upper management, everyone knows this young girl.

As the banquet began, Xiao Chen and the other senior brothers and sisters presented their gifts to their junior sister Chen Qianqian.

Each gift was of the Saint Rank, drawing envious glances from the arriving guests.

The gifts they received for their birthdays were less than those for Chen Qianqian, this little girl.

Sigh, another day when I'm tempted to join the Miscellaneous Dao Institute.

Soon it was Chu Feng's turn to show everyone his gift.

He slowly walked up to Chen Qianqian, and with a wave of his hand, three boxes appeared in front of Chen Qianqian.

Upon seeing the three boxes, Chen Qianqian quickly said, "Thank you for the gifts, Master."

Chu Feng then opened the first box, inside which was a holy sword and a set of Glazed Immortal Saint Dress. The light emanating from the sword and dress immediately attracted the attention of the little girl Chen Qianqian.

No one present found the gift particularly unusual.

Chu Feng quickly opened the second box, which contained a chessboard carved from Dao Jade.

He slowly explained, "Qianqian, this chessboard was carved by your master using the True Essence of the Great Dao. It contains an array that I inscribed using the True Essence of the Great Dao. This chessboard can trap all cultivators below the level of Saint. First, drip your blood to acknowledge its master."

hiss...

A collective gasp rippled through the banquet hall. The fact that this girl could trap cultivators below the Saint showed how much Chief Chu, doted on her.

From now on, you must never offend this little princess, no matter who else you offend.

Of course, what everyone was most curious about was the last gift Chu Feng gave.

After all, if the second gift is so extraordinary, then the grand finale must be a treasure that is rarely seen in ten thousand years.

"Thank you, Master."

Following Chu Feng's instructions, Chen Qianqian then dripped blood onto the chessboard to signify ownership.

Chu Feng didn't rush to open the last box, but said calmly, "I once said that when you turned eighteen, it would be time to impart the cultivation technique to you. Today, I will bestow this technique upon you as my final gift."

After saying that, he casually opened the box, and a Jin Guang emanated from it.

Chen Qianqian subconsciously looked into the box and saw a scroll inside.

She carefully picked up the scroll, preparing to put it into her storage ring.

Among the crowd, an elder asked curiously, "Chief Chu, can't you let us all see for ourselves and tell us about the cultivation technique Qianqian is practicing?"

Chu Feng smiled and said, "What I bestow upon Qianqian is the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique. This technique emphasizes entering the demonic path from the Dao, then returning to the Dao from the demonic path, and finally becoming a Demon Immortal, shattering the void!"

The moment the last four words were uttered, everyone present was stunned and stood frozen in place.

Clang, clang.

A sudden sound of something being knocked over pulled the dazed crowd back to reality.

Shattering the void is a realm that countless cultivators dream of. On the Profound Heaven Continent, Divine King can shatter the void and travel through the three thousand worlds.

"This... this is a supernatural power?"

An elder swallowed hard after speaking.

Chu Feng smiled and said, "I guess so."

After all, Chi You was also a Devil God, and the Heavenly Demon Strategy was the supreme demonic technique he left behind.

Great Sage Blazing Sun then asked, "Senior Brother Chu, wouldn't it be detrimental to both you and Qianqian to cultivate such a demonic technique?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present turned their gaze to Chu Feng. Although they had some doubts, they did not ask any further questions.

Everyone believed that Chu Feng would not do anything to harm his own disciple.

Chu Feng smiled and said, "If Fellow Jiaoyang wants to understand this matter, you can ask the Dean."

Upon hearing this, Great Sage Blazing Sun stopped asking questions. She could understand Chu Feng's subtext: Chen Qianqian harbored an extraordinary secret.

The minor incident did not affect the banquet, and everyone continued drinking until late at night before leaving.

After the banquet ended, Chen Qianqian immediately returned to her bedroom and slowly opened the book...
