Great Sage Benlei's Visit

We pay our respects to Elder Eight Treasures and Elder Profound Crystal.

The disciples of the Giant God Academy bowed in unison upon seeing the two.

No need for formalities.

The two elders landed beside Cao Youqian as they spoke.

Cao Youqian: "Greetings, my two senior uncles."

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

The two elders returned the greeting to Cao Youqian.

After speaking, Elder Eight Treasures turned to the disciples in the square and said, "Gentlemen, you should all know why I have gathered you here today. Enough with the nonsense, let's board the ship and set sail!"

"Promise!"

The disciples responded in response.

A few dark clouds suddenly drifted in from the sky.

At first glance, they appeared to be nine spaceships that blotted out the sky. After these spaceships landed, the disciples of the Giant God Academy boarded them in an orderly fashion.

Cao Youqian followed the two elders onto the main ship, and the group entered a spacious cabin and sat around a table.

Cao Youqian then took out the finest spiritual tea from his storage ring and began brewing tea for everyone at the tea table.

Before long, the rich aroma of tea invigorated the two elders.

Elder Eight Treasures said, "I didn't expect that the Holy Son not only possesses extraordinary cultivation, but also has first-rate tea-brewing skills."

Cao Youqian said with a smile, "Back when I was still a student under my master, I learned all sorts of skills from him, and my specialty was tea making."

As he spoke, he filled the teacups for the two elders one by one.

Elders Eight Treasures and Mysterious Crystal are both Great Sage of the Giant God Academy.

Elder Eight Treasures cultivated the Eight Treasures Golden Body, while Elder Profound Crystal's cultivation method was the Glazed Crystal Body. The latter was the Great Sage who was defeated by Cao Youqian with a single punch.

The two Great Sage immediately raised their teacups and said in unison, "Then we won't stand on ceremony."

"Please."

Cao Youqian poured himself a glass of wine and sat down.

ha...

After taking a small bite, both of them showed expressions of enjoyment.

"This is excellent tea. I have never tasted such fine tea in my entire life," exclaimed the Great Sage Eight Treasures.

"I'm suddenly starting to yearn for life at the Dao-Seeking Academy. Holy Son, could you tell us about the life of the Great Sage Qiankun?" Great Sage Profound Crystal immediately began to speak.

"Of course, I'm free anyway."

Cao Youqian placed his teacup on the tea table, a look of reminiscence on his face, and slowly said, "My master's life, in his own words, could be summed up in two words—Buddhist-like."

???

The two looked puzzled.

The Great Sage Eight Treasures asked, "Could it be that the Great Sage Qiankun cultivates Buddhism or Daoism?"

Cao Youqian shook his head. "No, what Master cultivates is the Dao, the pure Dao. It can be said that all Daos are under his control, hence the name Great Sage Qiankun."

hiss...

Upon hearing this, the two Great Sage instinctively gasped, for they were not unfamiliar with powerful individuals.

But every strong person specializes in one path, pushing it to its extreme, and eventually becomes Saint or a True God.

But this Great Sage Qiankun surprised everyone by choosing to cultivate all paths.

How exactly did the Great Sage Qiankun achieve this?

Great Sage Profound Crystal looked at Cao Youqian and muttered to himself.

Cao Youqian took a sip of tea and continued, "I heard that before accepting disciples, Master spent two and a half years mastering all the arts to the extreme. It can be said that in the entire Dao-Seeking Academy, he is the number one in all the arts."

"Hearing what the Holy Son said, this old man really wants to see the demeanor of that Great Sage Qiankun," the Great Sage Eight Treasures exclaimed.

Cao Youqian smiled and said, "If you're willing, Uncle-Master, you can come with me to the Dao-Seeking Academy after I finish my training. My master loves making friends."

Upon hearing this, the two said in unison, "Alright, we will definitely visit the Great Sage Qiankun when the time is right."

Achoo!

On Miaomiao Mountain.

Lying in the yard sunbathing, Chu Feng involuntarily sneezed. He subconsciously rubbed his nose and muttered, "I wonder who's been saying I'm handsome behind my back."

Wang Baole, who was standing next to Chu Feng, was stunned when he heard this and didn't know what to say.

Chu Feng turned his gaze to Wang Baole: "Little Fatty, is there something important you need from your master?"

Wang Baole cupped his hands and said, "Master, I have heard that Myriad Treasures Pavilion will be holding a Culinary God Competition in Unrivaled City, inviting talents from all over the world to participate. I have also received an invitation, and now I have come to bid you farewell."

"Wow, Myriad Treasures Pavilion really has a lot of fancy tricks up its sleeve."

After a moment of reflection, Chu Feng waved his hand and said, "Alright, then go and participate in the competition."

"Promise."

As Wang Baole spoke, he turned and left. He looked at Chu Feng's face and saw a hesitant expression, wanting to say something.

Master, don't you plan to show off your skills?

However, he quickly realized that a top expert like his master wouldn't go to such a small occasion.

Before Wang Baole could leave, Shi Xuan hurriedly walked in, bowing to the two and saying, "Master, Senior Brother."

What is it?

Chu Feng asked.

Shi Xuan respectfully said, "Master, Senior Brother Rushing Thunder has brought his descendants to the Dao Dao-Seeking Academy to become disciples, and they asked if you would like the young master of the Thunderclap Mountain Villa to participate in the assessment."

Chu Feng said, "Since we're all on the same side, there's no need for that. However, if that kid doesn't achieve anything within three years, let him go to another academy on his own."

"Promise."

After Shi Xuan finished speaking, he turned and left, but was stopped by Chu Feng after only a few steps.

"Etc."

Upon hearing this, Shi Xuan turned around and asked, "Master, is there anything else you would like to tell your disciple?"

Chu Feng gently tapped his fingers on the stone table beside him. "You'll handle the enrollment procedures. Have Rushing Thunder come to the courtyard to find me."

Shi Xuan: "Disciple obeys."

After saying this, the two left the main courtyard together.

Chu Feng slowly closed his eyes and quietly waited for the appearance of Great Sage Benlei.

Before the time it takes to drink a cup of tea was up, a familiar voice came from outside the courtyard gate.

"Student Rushing Thunder has come to pay his respects to the teacher."

Chu Feng slowly opened his eyes and said, "Come in."

Mr. Xie.

After entering the villa, the Great Sage Benlei took a closer look. He never expected that the greatest Great Sage of the era would live in such an ordinary courtyard, which seemed somewhat out of place for his status.

"Sit."

Chu Feng uttered a single word calmly.

"Promise."

Although the Great Sage Benlei had lived for over a thousand years, he was no different from an elementary school student in front of Chu Feng.

Chu Feng casually pushed a cup of tea in front of Great Sage Benlei and asked unhurriedly, "How long do you plan to stay at the Dao-Seeking Academy this time?"

After pondering for a moment, the Great Sage Benlei said, "This student wishes to stay a few more days to ask you questions about cultivation."

Chu Feng blew on his tea as he spoke, "Alright, it's been a long time since we last met. We can have a good chat this time. As for cultivation, we can discuss that tomorrow."

Great Sage Benlei: "Yes."
