Shi Xuan: Xiao Yi, You Need to Think Big
"Are you looking down on your master, or on the Miscellaneous Dao Institute?"
Shi Xuan looked at Liang Yi with a serious expression and said sternly, "Even the outer disciples of our Miscellaneous Dao Institute cultivate Saint Rank techniques. You are cultivating Great Sage techniques, won't you be ridiculed by your fellow disciples?"
Chu Feng chimed in, "That's right. Our Miscellaneous Dao Institute only accepts prodigies; even dogs wouldn't learn the techniques of Great Sage."
Rocket Turtle nodded in agreement. "That's right, that's right, look at my giant hammer, it's a top-tier holy artifact too."
Liang Yi was stunned for a while before he came to his senses and said respectfully, "Master, you are right to reprimand me. I will definitely pay attention in the future."
Shi Xuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Remember, you are now a disciple of the Holy Land, the grand-disciple of the Great Sage in the world. You must have presence and vision."
"Not bad, you're starting to look like a teacher."
Chu Feng gave Shi Xuan a thumbs up.
Liang Yi nodded repeatedly, and soon the group had ransacked the entire treasure vault.
Shi Xuan walked up to Chu Feng, holding a jade slip in his hand, and said, "Master, this should be the cultivation technique that old ghost practiced."
Chu Feng scanned it with his divine sense, a slight smile playing on his lips. "The Nine Revolutions Samsara Saint Ascension Art, this old ghost's really something else. It's a pity he ran into you, the Great Villain of Destiny. He'll never have a chance to be the protagonist in this lifetime."
"..."
Shi Xuan looked speechless. "Master, can we please not mention this?"
"You've got a protagonist's image to maintain, haven't you?"
Chu Feng paused, his expression turning serious. "Xiao Xuan, remember one of my words: cultivation is inherently a path against the heavens. If a god blocks your way, you will slay the god; if the heavens seal you off, you will seal the heavens off. Only by firmly upholding your Dao heart and forging ahead without hesitation can you achieve the supreme path and bear the mandate of Heaven's Mandate."
These words exploded in Shi Xuan's mind like Jinglei. He nodded and said, "Disciple will remember Master's teachings."
"Alright, it's time for us to head out."
After Chu Feng finished speaking, he waved his hand and led everyone away. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the main hall.
There were no longer any cultivators from the various forces of Lijie Mountain here.
The three walked straight out the door. As soon as they stepped outside, Chu Feng saw a group of the Complete Perfection Sword Sect cultivators forcing a man and a woman to kneel at the entrance of the main hall.
Upon seeing the man and woman, Liang Yi's face showed an unnatural expression.
The sect leader of the Complete Perfection Sword Sect said, "A-Yi, we have investigated everything that happened to you in the sect. It was all because of that despicable couple. Now we have captured them and handed them over to you to deal with."
"No need."
Without a second thought, Liang Yi interrupted the sect leader.
"Let bygones be bygones. Does the sect leader expect me to commit fratricide?"
The expressions on the faces of the Complete Perfection Sword Sect Sect's high-ranking members were extremely strange upon hearing this.
Now they're all caught in the middle, caught between a rock and a hard place. If they had known Liang Yi could curry favor with the Great Sage Qiankun, they would have already taken Liang Wuxin's head and wouldn't have had to put on this show.
Liang's father stepped out from the crowd and said sternly to Liang Wuxin, "Wuxin, hurry up and thank your elder brother for his magnanimity in sparing your lives!"
Upon hearing this, Liang Wuxin's face showed a look of frustration. He clenched his fists tightly and was about to speak when a sword was slammed into the stone slab in front of him.
Even before the sword was drawn, it exuded a terrifying aura.
The Complete Perfection Sword Sect elders present all revealed a greedy look in their eyes when they saw this sword.
Liang Yi slowly spoke, "This is a King and Marquis's Sword. I know you are still unconvinced by me. I will give you ten years. If you can draw this King and Marquis's Sword within ten years, then come to the Dao-Seeking Academy and challenge me to a duel. If you cannot do it, then return this King and Marquis's Sword to your Lineage."
Upon hearing this, Liang Wuxin's resentment vanished instantly. She slowly raised her head, looked at Liang Yi with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Why?"
Liang Yi said, "The fact that we are both Liang Lineage can never be changed. If the Liang Lineage wants to become stronger and leave Lijie Mountain, more powerful people need to emerge. If you can draw your sword, it means you have the bearing of King and Marquis. I believe that at that time, no one will dare to look down on you, and no one will look down on your mother."
Upon hearing this, Liang Wuxin suddenly felt that he had lost, and lost completely. He only had the Liang Lineage and the Quanzhen Sword Sect in his eyes, but his elder brother had the whole world in his eyes.
The elders of the Liang Lineage were also shocked by this statement. They did not expect that Liang Yi had grown to this extent in just a few days.
"Good, well said. My Liang Lineage, no, my Complete Perfection Sword Sect needs a child like Liang Yi."
The Supreme Elder of the Complete Perfection Sword Sect stepped out from the crowd as he spoke.
He turned his gaze to Liang Wuxin: "From this day forward, you will follow me in cultivation, and as soon as possible, draw this King and Marquis's Sword, leave the Quanzhen Sword Sect, and leave Lijie Mountain."
"Thank you, Ancestor. Thank you, Elder Brother."
As Liang Wuxin spoke, he bowed to the two of them respectively.
"Yi'er, I don't know when we'll meet again after this parting. This is a gift I'm leaving for you."
The Supreme Elder handed a storage ring to Liang Yi.
"Thank you, Ancestor."
As Liang Yi spoke, he stepped forward and took the storage ring with both hands.
After exchanging pleasantries, the group left the Spirit Tomb Sect together.
Three days later, Liang Yi bid farewell to the Liang Lineage family and departed with Chu Feng and Shi Xuan.
Inside the Complete Perfection Sword Sect, the Supreme Elder opened the box Liang Yi had given him. He saw a jade slip inside, and immediately channeled his divine sense into it. A look of wild joy appeared on his face, and he murmured, "I have a chance to become King and Marquis or noble in this life! I have a chance to become King and Marquis!"
In the sky, Chu Feng and his two companions flew through the air.
Shi Xuan asked, "Master, should we go back to the Shi Clan or go directly back to the Dao-Seeking Academy?"
Chu Feng said, "Naturally, we'll return to the Dao-Seeking Academy. The matter with the Shi Clan has been mostly resolved. Once we find the teleportation array in the nearest city, I'll send a message to them from afar, instructing them to suppress the other four Child of Destiny before returning to the Dao-Seeking Academy."
Upon hearing this, Shi Xuan murmured, "I wonder how my fellow senior brothers and sisters are doing now?"
Chu Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, they are all top-notch experts, they will definitely be fine."
Just as the three were discussing their fellow disciples...
Qin Qin and her group followed Xu Aotian into a ruin. They had been tracking Xu Aotian for more than half a month.
Several times he almost let this guy slip away right under his nose.
Everyone held their breath and followed Xu Aotian forward, no one uttering a word.
Qin Qin kept watching the aura of fortune emanating from Xu Aotian. As time passed, the aura of fortune on Xu Aotian was not as strong as before. Now, his aura of fortune was even weaker than that of his junior brother Xu beside him. It seemed that it was time to close the net.
Just then, Xu Aotian stopped in front of an ancient, weathered underground palace, then turned and called out to those around him, "Everyone, you've been following me for so long, shouldn't you show yourselves now?"
