The Young Ji Jiuwu

"This mountain is shaped like a crescent moon, so let's call it Slanting Moon Mountain."

Chu Feng spoke slowly, waving the feather fan in his hand.

"Slanting Moon Mountain is a good name."

Cao Youqian muttered to himself, "When I go down the mountain to cultivate in the future, I'll say that I am the Body Ancestor of the Dao-Seeking Sect of Slanting Moon Mountain."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen said, "Then I shall call myself the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Swords."

"Can."

Chu Feng waved his folding fan and said, "Your two names are quite nice."

Cao Youqian scratched his head. "But Master, why hasn't the Heavenly Dao recognized this title I uttered?"

Chu Feng smiled and said, "That's because you're not strong enough. Once you become a saint, your every word and action will attract the attention of heaven and earth, and you will gain their recognition."

"I see. Then I must go out and cultivate, and strive to reach the Half-Saint Realm as soon as possible."

Cao Youqian said confidently.

Chu Feng continued, "It's good to be confident, but before you leave, I'll show you how to take on disciples."

"Master, are you saying that cultivators will be coming to our Dao-Seeking Sect to become disciples and learn skills soon?" Xiao Chen looked at his master with a puzzled expression.

"Good."

Chu Feng paused for a moment and explained, "Our mountain gate formation has the ability to gather spiritual energy and fortune. Some Child of Destiny will naturally be attracted by this fortune and come to our Dao-Seeking Sect to become disciples and learn skills."

"Wasn't it just that the Child of Fortune stumbled into it by accident?" Cao Youqian countered.

Snap!

Chu Feng tapped Cao Youqian on the forehead with his feather fan. "You brat, you've been following me for so many years, all you've gained is muscle and no brains! Do you Dao-Seeking Sect Seeking Sect's protective formation? I deliberately set it up so that only those with great fortune can pass through it."

Cao Youqian scratched his head awkwardly and stopped talking.

Chu Feng waved his feather fan and said, "Alright, you all go and cultivate first. I'll stay here and rest for a while."

"Promise."

The two responded and left together.

Time passed day by day, and it was night about Nine Heavens later.

At the Slanting Moon Mountain, a thin young man was running swiftly through the forest, while a saber-toothed tiger demon, over ten feet tall, was slowly chasing after him.

The saber-toothed tiger demon adopted a cat-and-mouse approach, trying to catch the young man several times, but it didn't use its claws, intending to play with him a little longer.

Hearing the tiger's breath behind him, the boy dared not stop. The moment he ran out of the jungle, he found a mountain blocking his way.

Trying to escape by going around the mountain was obviously unrealistic. Even on flat ground, he couldn't shake off the tiger demon behind him, let alone once he entered the mountain.

But he had no way out at the moment and could only gamble on the existence of even more powerful monsters in the mountains, hoping to deter the other party.

With that thought, the boy mustered all his strength and ran towards the mountains.

The saber-toothed tiger demon following behind him saw the boy speed up and a mocking expression appeared on its face. It seemed that the boy was about to exhaust himself, and his cultivation level could only advance further.

So the saber-toothed tiger demon followed slowly behind the boy, without increasing the distance.

As the mountain drew ever closer, a surge of immense power erupted within the boy, instantly increasing his speed.

Could this Human Race be about to use some kind of secret technique?

The saber-toothed tiger demon didn't want its prize to slip away, and besides, the flesh and blood of the boy who had awakened his secret technique were even more delicious.

The moment the boy stepped into the territory of Slanting Moon Mountain, the tiger demon leaped and pounced on him.

Bang!

The tiger demon crashed into the formation and was immediately knocked unconscious. The boy heard a loud bang behind him and then quickened his pace.

After a long while, the boy noticed that the familiar tiger's breath behind him had disappeared. He subconsciously stopped and turned around, only to find that the tiger demon was no longer there.

call...

The boy let out a long breath and sat down on the spot. As soon as he sat down, he realized that he was completely exhausted. His mouth was dry and all he wanted to do was drink water, but his whole body felt like it was filled with lead, and he couldn't move at all.

He glanced around; there were no fruit trees, only a stone path leading up the mountain.

Oh no, am I going to die here?

Just then, a voice as beautiful as heavenly music entered his ears. "Little fellow, you're really lucky to have come to my Dao-Seeking Sect."

The boy slowly looked up and saw a young Human Race standing in front of him. His body trembled involuntarily, and he murmured, "You... you won't eat me, will you?"

"Hahaha..."

Cao Youqian couldn't help but laugh out loud upon hearing this, "If I were to eat, it would be that little cat outside, why would I eat you?"

Having said that, he grabbed the unconscious saber-toothed tiger demon with a swift motion, muttering, "A saber-toothed tiger demon at the Spirit Nurturing Realm, not bad for a snack."

The boy was stunned by Cao Youqian's action. The saber-toothed tiger demon in Cao Youqian's hand was a creature capable of defeating their captain of the guard, yet this giant had lifted it up with one hand.

Looking at the boy's chapped lips, Cao Youqian knew he was dehydrated, so he casually took out a water bottle from his storage ring and tossed it to him.

"Let's go up the mountain after you finish your water."

Thank you.

The boy responded and then opened the kettle and gulped down the water.

For some reason, he felt his stomach was very bloated after only two sips of water, and when he looked down, his stomach was round and swollen.

Cao Youqian casually grabbed his water bottle and explained with a smile, "This is a sacred spiritual spring. One sip is equivalent to ten sips of spiritual spring water. Being able to drink two sips means you're not weak, kid."

Upon hearing the praise, the young man puffed out his chest and said, "Back then, I was the strongest among the young disciples of our Fire God Clan."

"A seventeen-year-old body cultivator at the True Fate Realm is indeed quite capable."

Cao Youqian could tell at a glance that the other party was a body cultivator, but there was no fluctuation of spiritual power in the boy's body, as if he was simply refining his body.

???

The young man looked at Cao Youqian, whose face was full of doubt, and asked, "What is the True Fate Realm? I am a cultivator in the Sinew Forging Realm."

Upon hearing this, Cao Youqian realized that this was not the Profound Heaven Continent, and the cultivation methods in this world were different from those in the Profound Heaven Continent.

He explained with a smile, "You'll find out later, whether you can still walk or not."

"I can go down the mountain now."

The young man bowed deeply to Cao Youqian, saying, "Thank you for your help, senior. I will definitely repay you in the future."

Cao Youqian laughed and said, "I didn't ask you to come down the mountain. Since you're here, come up the mountain with me and let's catch and eat this tiger."

"No, no, no..."

The boy shook his head vigorously, "Senior, you've already saved me, how could I possibly take advantage of you?"

Cao Youqian, "It's fate that we met. Besides, it's already dark, and it's not safe for you to go down the mountain. Finish this tiger meat meal and go down the mountain tomorrow."

The boy finally nodded after hearing these words: "Thank you, senior."

"Don't keep calling me 'senior.' My name is Cao Youqian. Just call me Daqian. What's your name?" Cao Youqian asked in return.

The young man said, "Senior, my name is Ji Jiuwu."
