Wang Baole's Resolve

Bang!

With a loud thud, Cao Youqian landed heavily on the ground.

Many people present subconsciously looked towards the large pit where Cao Youqian was.

Cao Youqian dusted himself off and stood up as if nothing had happened, saying, "Senior brother, you went too far! You almost made me vomit blood."

hiss...

Everyone gasped in shock at the sight; Heavenly Genius Cao was far too resilient.

Anyone present who was struck by that sword just now would have met the same fate: death.

But Cao Youqian was completely unharmed, as if nothing had happened. His trip to the Barbarian Continent was indeed the right one.

At the same time, Xiao Chen descended from the sky, smiling as he asked, "Daqian, how many more of my sword strikes can you withstand?"

Cao Youqian shrugged. "Ten swords is the most I can do, or I'll be dead."

"Great, you've improved a lot since then."

Xiao Chen said with great satisfaction.

As the two were talking, Chu Feng's voice also came from the main seat.

"You two little ones, stop praising each other down there, take your seats and keep drinking."

"Promise."

The two brothers bowed to Chu Feng and responded.

After the two returned to their seat, they noticed that the way everyone was looking at them had changed.

They simply exchanged a smile and said nothing more.

The banquet lasted until late at night.

After everyone dispersed, Chu Feng, with Bing Yan on his left arm and Princess Miao Yu in his right, walked towards his room.

As soon as he sat down, a familiar voice echoed in his mind.

"Host's disciple Ye Beixuan has comprehended a point of the True Essence of the Great Dao; Host's True Essence of the Great Dao +10."

Upon hearing this voice, Chu Feng's lips curled up slightly, thinking to himself: It seems that Beixuan will soon be returning to the Dao-Seeking Academy as well.

at the same time.

Within the Phoenix Ancestral Land.

Ye Beixuan slowly opened his eyes, thinking to himself: This trip was indeed worthwhile; I actually comprehended two points of the True Essence of the Great Dao.

This is something I could never have imagined in my previous life. Even now I have this kind of strength, I wonder just how strong my senior brother and second senior brother are now.

After tidying himself up, he left the Land of Nirvana.

"Beixuan, you're out. How are you feeling?"

When the patriarch of the Feng Lineage saw Ye Beixuan come out, his face showed excitement.

Ye Beixuan cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to Ancestor, I have grasped a bit of the True Essence of the Great Dao."

"Well."

The patriarch of the Feng Lineage said "good" twice in a row.

Ye Beixuan asked, "Where is Qiongyu?"

The Feng Lineage patriarch said, "She hasn't come out yet, let's wait here for a moment."

"Um."

Ye Beixuan stood quietly beside the Feng Lineage patriarch, waiting for his Daoist partner to appear.

Three days later, Feng Qiongyu appeared before Ye Beixuan. At this time, Feng Qiongyu was already a cultivator in the Dao Integration Realm, and her whole body exuded a trace of phoenix aura.

The Phoenix Clan leaders present were taken aback upon seeing this.

The ancestral patriarch exclaimed in astonishment, "Half of the blood in this woman's body has already transformed into phoenix blood, and it has even condensed into phoenix essence blood. When she undergoes Nirvana, she will transform into a phoenix."

hiss...

Those present gasped in shock upon hearing this.

The old patriarch stepped forward and asked, "Qiongyu, would you be willing to become my disciple?"

A conflicted expression immediately appeared on Feng Qiongyu's face, and her gaze immediately turned to Ye Beixuan beside her.

This scene was naturally witnessed by everyone present.

Everyone now felt nothing but envy for Ye Beixuan. To be so infatuated with a woman who was about to become a true phoenix, this kid's luck was truly extraordinary!

Ye Beixuan smiled and gently touched Feng Qiongyu's face, "Qiongyu, whatever choice you make, I will support you. Besides, our goal is not just to become a saint. Staying here will be better for your future development."

Those present finally understood what "vision" meant; no wonder Ye Beixuan had gotten to where he was today.

The patriarch of the Feng Lineage and the Saint of their ancestral land also looked at Ye Beixuan with new respect.

Encouraged by Ye Beixuan, Feng Qiongyu nodded slightly and said, "Husband, then I will stay in the Phoenix Ancestral Land to cultivate immortality. I will come to find you after I become Great Sage."

"Good."

Ye Beixuan said, "If I become Great Sage, I will also come to the Phoenix Ancestral Land to meet you."

The Phoenix Saint said, "Beixuan, I can reserve the resources you need for teleportation, so you can come and see Qiongyu anytime."

Thank you, senior.

Ye Beixuan said respectfully.

"Still calling me 'senior'? I'm already your master," the Saint said with a smile.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with that; a Daoist partner's master is also one's own master.

Ye Beixuan spoke again, "Thank you, Master."

The Phoenix Saint said, "Alright, I won't disturb your reunion any longer. You two should go back and rest."

Seven days later.

Ye Beixuan and the Fire Phoenix Valley group returned to the Profound Continent. Back in familiar surroundings, Ye Beixuan felt the air was exceptionally fresh.

After bidding farewell to his father-in-law's family, he rushed to the Dao-Seeking Academy without stopping, and finally returned to the mountains half a month later.

"Disciple Ye Beixuan greets Master."

Inside the main courtyard, Ye Beixuan bowed to Chu Feng.

No need for formalities.

Chu Feng smiled and said, "Beixuan, it's truly a pleasant surprise that you were able to comprehend two points of the True Essence of the Great Dao during this training."

"All of this is thanks to my master. Without his guidance, I would never have achieved what I have today."

Ye Beixuan said sincerely.

Chu Feng: "Don't bother with such formalities, kid. Go back and rest first, and we'll have a proper celebration tonight. Most of our fellow disciples are in the mountains anyway."

"Promise."

Ye Beixuan responded respectfully.

Just as he was about to leave, a figure landed in the sky and said as soon as it touched the ground, "Disciple Nie Xiuyuan greets Master."

Chu Feng laughed when he saw the newcomer, "You old rascal, you're finally back from Xiaoyao carefree days. And you even came back on the same day as Beixuan— what a coincidence!"

Nie Xiuyuan, "After traveling around, I suddenly missed the days when I brewed wine with my master, so I came back."

"I get it, you've finished your drink."

Chu Feng chuckled and joked.

"Hey-hey."

Nie Xiuyuan chuckled, "As expected, nothing can be hidden from Master."

Chu Feng: "Alright, let's have a good drink tonight."

Nie Xiuyuan: "Yes."

As night fell, the main courtyard was filled with the sounds of clinking glasses and lively conversation.

Compared to the bustling crowd last night, today only Chu Feng and his disciples were present in the courtyard.

Everyone listened to Nie Xiuyuan and Ye Beixuan recount their experiences and drank with great enjoyment.

Wang Baole was the only one sitting to the side, drinking alone, feeling a little depressed about being overtaken by his junior brother.

After a few drinks, Wang Baole made a decision: this time, he had to comprehend the True Essence of the Great Dao during his training trip, or he wouldn't return...
