Good News Kept Coming
"Senior, you flatter me. I am still far from being a Sword Emperor."
Xiao Chen said modestly.
The Sword Emperor's shadow said, "You have no need to be modest. Within a thousand years, you will surely be able to bear the Heaven's Mandate and ascend to the Nine Heavens."
"Ascension to the Nine Heavens?"
A look of longing appeared on Xiao Chen's face.
"Young man, I have nothing more to instruct you on. We shall meet again someday."
The Sword Emperor's shadow vanished before Xiao Chen's eyes as he spoke.
After bowing slightly towards the spot where the figure disappeared, Xiao Chen turned and returned the way he came.
He had only taken one step when he instantly appeared outside Sword Emperor's Cliff.
By this time, the place was already surrounded by cultivators, and Jian Xin and Yuan Ke were undoubtedly the focus of everyone's attention, with many cultivators crowding around them to ask them for advice.
"Holy Son Xiao has emerged!"
Someone in the crowd shouted, and everyone's eyes turned to this side.
With a smile on his face, Xiao Chen slowly walked towards the crowd from the Sword Dao Academy.
Academy Head Meng immediately went to greet him and asked, "Holy Son, I wonder what you have gained from this enlightenment?"
As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes turned to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen could easily understand Academy Head Meng's implied meaning. He figured that Yuan Ke and Jian Xin must have gained a lot before, otherwise the dean wouldn't have reacted this way.
He smiled and said, "This time, thanks to the guidance of the Sword Emperor, I was fortunate enough to comprehend three key True Essence of Sword Dao."
The room fell silent as everyone stared at Xiao Chen in shock.
hiss...
Someone in the crowd gasped, pulling everyone back to reality from their shock.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, congratulations!"
Yuan Ke and Jian Xin were the first to step forward and offer their congratulations.
Seeing this, the people around also came forward to offer their congratulations.
"Congratulations, Old Man Meng, on your Dao-Seeking Academy!"
"Old Man Meng, please treat me to drinks tonight."
"..."
As Academy Head Meng listened to the congratulations, he smiled, but inwardly he thought: You guys are really wicked, deliberately pointing out that this Holy Son Xiao was not trained by my Sword Dao Academy.
Amidst a chorus of compliments, Xiao Chen and his group headed down the mountain.
They soon returned to their lodgings at the Sword Dao Academy.
Academy Head Meng asked, "Holy Son Xiao, what are your plans next?"
Xiao Chen said, "If the Dean doesn't mind, I plan to share what I gained at Sword Emperor's Cliff at the Sword Dao Institute first."
He's not the kind of person who doesn't know how to be grateful; this time, he even took up a spot from the Sword Dao Academy to participate in the Western Peak Sword Debate.
It would be incredibly unfair to just walk away like that.
Upon hearing this, Academy Head Meng immediately gave Xiao Chen a thumbs up.
"Not at all, of course not. Our Sword Dao Academy has a tradition where disciples who have returned from comprehending the Dao at Sword Emperor's Cliff share their teachings with their fellow disciples. Since the Holy Son is willing to share his teachings, I would be more than happy to oblige."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen smiled and asked, "Then when are we going back?"
I'm leaving tomorrow.
Academy Head Meng was already looking forward to Xiao Chen lecturing to the disciples of the Sword Dao Academy, after all, this kid was the first person in the history of the Western Peak Sword Debate in the Sword Continent to comprehend three points of the True Essence of Sword Dao.
It has to be said that a prodigy is a prodigy; even his senior felt he couldn't compare.
The following day, everyone boarded the flying boat and returned to the Sword Dao Academy.
After resting for a day, Xiao Chen began to tell his fellow students at the Sword Dao Academy about his gains at Sword Emperor's Cliff.
Xiao Chen quickly became famous at the Sword Dao Academy, and many disciples even begged Xiao Chen to stay and serve as the Holy Son of the Sword Dao Academy Sword Dao Academy, becoming its future Dean.
The Barbarian Continent.
At the Giant God Academy, Cao Youqian also emerged from his secluded training.
As soon as he emerged from seclusion, the dean of the Giant God Academy and others came to greet him.
The Great Sage Blazing Sun asked, "Little Qianqian, how much of the True Essence of the Great Dao did you comprehend this time while Spirit Transformation Crystal?"
Cao Youqian held up three fingers. "This time, I have grasped three True Essence of the Great Dao."
hiss...
Upon hearing this, all the Great Sage present cast envious glances at Cao Youqian.
The Great Sage Blazing Sun said with a face full of joy, "In this way, when you return to the Dao-Seeking Academy, you will be able to fight Xiao Chen."
Upon hearing his senior brother's name, Cao Youqian subconsciously shook his head. "Not necessarily. That senior brother's opportunities and luck are no less than mine. He must have gained quite a bit from his trip to the Sword Continent."
He said this aloud, but in his heart he was thinking: Senior Brother, you'd better not get caught up, that would be no fun.
The dean of the Giant God Academy said, "Holy Son Cao has emerged from seclusion, I am hosting a banquet today. Why don't you share your insights with the academy's prodigies?"
"Promise."
Cao Youqian agreed without hesitation; he was more adept at navigating social interactions than anyone else.
Meanwhile, on a small island in the Endless Sea.
Nie Xiuyuan emerged from a mountain cave, a slight smile playing on his lips, "I've finally grasped another bit of the True Essence of the Great Dao. If this continues, I'll definitely be able to comprehend five points of the True Essence of the Great Dao before reaching the Half-Saint Realm. It's time to return to the sect to see my master and fellow disciples."
I wonder how everyone is doing these days?
Miscellaneous Dao Institute Dao-Seeking Academy.
Chu Feng was engrossed in reading a book when the system's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Host's disciple Nie Xiuyuan, has grasped a bit of the True Essence of the Great Dao. Host's understanding of the True Essence of the Great Dao +10."
hiss...
Chu Feng subconsciously gasped, thinking to himself: These guys all get stronger over time.
In just one month, it increased my True Essence of the Great Dao by 90 points.
This brought my True Essence of the Great Dao to 690, just 309 points away from reaching 999 and stepping into the True Essence of the Great Dao Saint Realm.
Thinking of this, Chu Feng's lips curled up slightly, transforming into the shape of a dragon king.
However, when will these three disciples return to the Dao-Seeking Academy?
It's been quite a while since I've seen them, and as their teacher, I really miss them.
Just as Chu Feng was deep in thought, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the courtyard.
He leisurely placed the book he was holding on the stone table and looked outside, only to see the Great Sage Golden Wing stride in.
Chu Feng chuckled and teased, "What happened that made you, the Condor Prince, so anxious?"
"Brother, please stop teasing me. Bai Yu is about to break through to the Half-Saint Realm, and I don't know what to do, so I came to ask you for advice," said the Great Sage Golden Wing.
Upon hearing this, Chu Feng picked up the book in his hand and said while flipping through it, "Why don't you report it to the dean? As your godfather, he will naturally arrange these things properly, after all, Bai Yu is also his daughter-in-law."
Snap!
Great Sage Golden Wing slapped his forehead and said, "How could I forget that? I'll go find my godfather right now."
After saying this, he turned and left, but before leaving, he didn't forget to glance at the book in Chu Feng's hand. On the cover, there were the words "Marry a wife and become stronger, wife XX" in big letters.
Great Sage Golden Wing shook his head, thinking to himself: Why would I, brother, be interested in this kind of storybook?
Several days later, Princess Bai Yu successfully broke through to become a Great Sage.
Chu Feng also received two pieces of good news...
