Nie Xiuyuan: It's Been a Long Time Since I Last Made a Move in Front of the World Too

Around noon, on Miaomiao Mountain, in front of the Bodhi tree.

Chu Feng was calmly and slowly expounding the Dao to his disciples, who were completely absorbed in listening to their master's teachings.

After the sermon ended, Chu Feng asked, "Do any of you have any questions?"

The disciples present exchanged glances and then said in unison, "Reporting to Master, we have no doubts."

"Alright, then you can go down and try to understand it on your own."

As Chu Feng finished speaking, he was about to stand up when Wang Baole from the crowd said, "Master, this disciple wishes to go down the mountain for some training."

"Oh."

Chu Feng showed no surprise upon hearing this, and jokingly asked, "Are you getting a kick out of seeing how much your fellow disciples are improving?"

"As expected, nothing could be hidden from Master."

Wang Baole never had the idea of comparing himself with his fellow disciples, but he also didn't want to just drift along in the mountains and wait to die.

Chu Feng patted Wang Baole on the shoulder. "Baole, I will naturally allow you to go down the mountain to gain experience. However, cultivation is not something that can be rushed, especially since you have awakened the Taotie Physique, which is different from the cultivation methods of your fellow disciples."

"I know what Master said. This time I went down the mountain because I received news about the ancient Demon Saint Taotie, which is why I thought of taking a chance."

Wang Baole said with a respectful expression.

"You're quite lucky, kid. But this kind of opportunity to become an ancient Demon Saint is likely to be contested by many geniuses and powerful figures. It probably won't be enough for you to go alone."

Chu Feng paused for a moment, then swept his gaze over the group of people.

"Who will accompany Baole out?"

Everyone present spoke up upon hearing this.

"Master, this disciple is willing!"

"This disciple is willing too!"

"..."

Seeing this scene, Wang Baole couldn't help but feel moved, and even sniffed.

Seeing his reaction, Cao Youqian teased, "Baole, why are you acting like a little girl? We're family, isn't it only natural for me to help you get the treasure?"

Xiao Chen laughed and said, "Not bad, Baole, you don't think of yourself as an outsider, do you?"

Wang Baole stubbornly insisted, "I... I'm happy."

"Alright."

Chu Feng broke the warm atmosphere, saying, "You all discuss who should go with Baole. I'll head back first."

He didn't need to concern himself with such trivial matters; he could simply leave it to his disciples to discuss.

All the disciples turned their attention to Wang Baole.

Xiao Chen said, "Junior Brother Wang, I'll go with you."

Now each of them is capable of standing on their own, so not everyone needs to accompany Wang Baole to Northern Jade Mountain.

Cao Youqian, "Junior Brother Wang, let me go with you. I guarantee I'll make you famous throughout the land."

When both of his senior brothers spoke up, Wang Baole was momentarily at a loss for what to do.

Just then, Nie Xiuyuan, who was usually quiet, spoke up, "Senior brothers, in my opinion, let me have this opportunity. I, Nie, haven't made a move in a long time; the world is almost forgetting who I am."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian nodded without hesitation and said in unison, "Since Senior Brother Nie is going to take action, then we two junior brothers will entrust the task of protecting Baole to you."

Nie Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, although I'm not as good as my two senior brothers, I'm not someone anyone can bully. Besides, we have Master to back us up."

Wang Baole nodded and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Nie Xiuyuan, saying, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Brother Nie."

Nie Xiuyuan: "Sure, I've been craving your cooking lately."

Upon hearing this, Wang Baole patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, senior brother, I may lack many things here, but I have plenty of delicious food."

After everyone reached a consensus, they went to the main courtyard to visit Chu Feng and explain the matter.

Chu Feng nodded slightly, turning his gaze to Nie Xiuyuan: "Xiuyuan, I'm also looking forward to your performance this time."

Nie Xiuyuan, "Master, your disciple will absolutely not disgrace you."

Three days later.

Nie Xiuyuan, Wang Baole, and the others left Miaomiao Mountain together Northern Jade Mountain.

Northern Jade Mountain is an ancient immortal mountain.

This place was once guarded by a demon emperor, making it a crucial stronghold for the Demon Race race in the northern part of the Profound Continent.

But as the Demon Race declined, the last Demon Saint, Taotie, perished here.

Northern Jade Mountain also became a rootless duckweed, wandering in the north, but every time it appeared before the world, it would attract countless battles.

This time, Northern Jade Mountain appeared at the border between Northern Abyss Land and Great Thunderclap Temple.

It is said that when Northern Jade Mountain appeared in the world, it was bathed in celestial light, which could be seen within a radius of ten thousand Wanli.

This attracted countless cultivators to worship, and also alarmed the Great Sage of the Northern Abyss Holy Dynasty and the Great Thunderclap Temple.

The disciples of the Dao-Seeking Academy also received the news, and some disciples and elders headed towards Northern Jade Mountain.

At this moment, countless cultivators gathered around Northern Jade Mountain, their eyes gleaming with fervent light as they gazed at the immortal mountain floating in mid-air.

If Northern Jade Mountain weren't still closed, these cultivators would have wanted to enter it immediately.

Just as the cultivators were anxiously waiting, a huge shadow suddenly drifted in from the horizon.

Even before the shadow landed, it exuded a sense of oppression befitting the Nirvana Realm.

Many cultivators turned to look in the direction of the shadow.

In the blink of an eye, the shadow appeared above them.

"What... what kind of behemoth is this?"

"Could it be that the opening of the immortal mountain has attracted all the ancient demonic beasts?"

"..."

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, the enormous creature slowly descended from the sky.

"The monsters are coming! Prepare for battle!"

A cultivator at the Nirvana Realm shouted, and the cultivators around him drew their weapons.

However, no one dared to step forward first. Each of these ancient demonic beasts possessed terrifying supernatural powers, and their audacity in entering the Profound Continent so recklessly suggested that they had a formidable backing.

As the giant beast drew closer, some cultivators couldn't help but make their move.

But before it could even touch the giant beast, it was blocked by the defensive light shield on its body.

"How dare you!"

A woman's voice, carrying a hint of authority, came from the back of the giant beast, startling many people while also causing most of those present to breathe a sigh of relief.

Who are you, daring to offend us?

The voice echoed in the sky, and the cultivators who had attacked earlier immediately knelt down and begged for mercy:

"Fairy, spare me! Fairy, spare me!"

"We were terrified by your mount and lost our footing for a moment."

"..."

"Snort!"

With a cold snort, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky upon those people, and in an instant they all fainted on the ground.

The entire arena fell silent; everyone waited for the giant beast to land...
