"Boom——"
In a daze, Ji Changfeng seemed to see a vast world.
In that immense world, people were so tiny, like ants, only able to hide in some corner of the world and eke out a meager existence…
"Swish!!"
But just then.
A brilliant sword light suddenly slashed out from a corner of the world.
With a single strike, the clouds for a hundred miles were directly split open.
Even that immense world was cleaved, a fissure appearing in it…
"I have a sword that can open the Heavenly Gate!"
A clear voice echoed throughout the world.
"Junior Brother? Little Junior Brother?"
At that moment, a voice calling out to him came from his ear.
Ji Changfeng came back to his senses and saw Song Daren and Zhang Xiaofan looking at him with concern:
"Junior Brother, are you alright?"
Hearing this, Ji Changfeng suppressed the joy in his heart and gently shook his head: "Senior Brother, I'm fine."
Even though he said that.
But his mind was occupied with something else entirely.
"Heaven-defying comprehension?"
"So this is my golden finger?"
Ji Changfeng's thoughts stirred.
The top-tier sword intent of the Sword Opens Heavenly Gate immediately flickered around him.
It was a spirit of boldness, a disdain for all, daring to draw the sword against anyone, even an Immortal!
With one sword, the Immortal bows their head!
"Junior Brother, it's good that you're alright."
Song Daren breathed a sigh of relief.
He had just seen Ji Changfeng suddenly space out, and he'd thought something had happened to this soon-to-be junior brother.
Of course.
That's just because Song Daren's cultivation was too low.
If any of the head elders were here, they would have been shocked when they saw Ji Changfeng's previous state…
Because Ji Changfeng had just entered a state of enlightenment!
Enlightenment!
That was an opportunity that only came once in a hundred years!!
Anyone who entered a state of enlightenment would make great strides in their cultivation…
If those head elders knew that enlightenment, which only came once in a hundred years, had actually happened to a young man?!
What would they think?!
Song Daren led Ji Changfeng and Zhang Xiaofan through the sea of clouds.
As they passed Rainbow Bridge,
Ji Changfeng even took a special look down, but he didn't see the legendary Water Qilin...
Arriving at the halfway point of Tongtian Peak,
Song Daren summoned the Immortal sword, 'Ten Tigers', and beckoned Ji Changfeng and Zhang Xiaofan to come aboard: "Junior Brothers, come up quickly."
"I'll take you directly back to Dazhu Peak."
Ji Changfeng curiously stepped onto the sword.
Zhang Xiaofan, a bit apprehensive, followed behind Ji Changfeng.
"Whoosh—"
In the next moment, the immortal sword shot straight into the clouds.
Feeling the strong wind rushing towards him, Ji Changfeng was somewhat excited.
Flying on a sword!
Cultivating immortality!
His former dream had actually come true!
Back in his youth.
If he had a wooden stick, he could ensure that not a single weed would grow within ten miles; now…
If he had an immortal sword!
He would definitely make his name known throughout the world!
Ji Changfeng felt a surge of excitement.
"Whoosh—"
A flash of sword light zipped past.
Soon, they reached Dazhu Peak.
At this moment.
All the disciples of Dazhu Peak had gathered in Shoujingtang.
Actually, there were only eight people in total.
Tian Buyi's family of three, and five disciples.
"Master, Mistress, your disciple has brought the two junior brothers back."
Song Daren led Ji Changfeng and Zhang Xiaofan into the Hall of Quietude.
The next moment, everyone's eyes turned to them.
Zhang Xiaofan lowered his head slightly, feeling a little intimidated. Ji Changfeng calmly faced everyone's gaze, showing no sign of nervousness.
"Hmph."
Tian Buyi snorted coldly, giving Ji Changfeng an extra look, but he didn't say anything more.
"Good children, pay your respects to your master," Su Ru said with a gentle smile as she looked at Ji Changfeng and Zhang Xiaofan.
She subtly glared at Tian Buyi.
At that moment, the fourth senior brother, He Dazhi, walked over with two cups of clear tea.
Ji Changfeng pulled Zhang Xiaofan forward and respectfully kowtowed nine times to Tian Buyi. Then, he held up the clear tea and presented it to Tian Buyi: "Disciple Ji Changfeng pays respects to Master."
Zhang Xiaofan on the side quickly copied him.
Seeing this, Tian Buyi's eyes narrowed slightly.
He looked at Ji Changfeng in surprise, nodded without showing any emotion, then took the tea and took a small sip, saying: "From now on, you are the seventh."
If Ji Changfeng was the seventh, then Zhang Xiaofan was naturally the eighth.
Tian Buyi took the tea Ji Changfeng offered, but he casually set it aside without even a glance.
Seeing this, Ji Changfeng lowered his head, a little disappointed.
Tian Buyi waved his hand and said, "Daren, you take them for now. You're in charge of teaching them the rules and regulations of the sect, as well as some basic cultivation methods."
"Yes, Master!" Song Daren nodded respectfully. But then, he hesitated, "Master, both junior brothers are young. As for the introductory lessons..."
"Do as you're told," Tian Buyi said flatly.
With that, he stood up and left.
The atmosphere in the Hall of Quietude instantly lightened.
At that moment, a little girl standing behind Su Ru suddenly skipped over to Ji Changfeng and the other person.
"Hey, call me Senior Sister!"
Hearing this, Ji Changfeng raised an eyebrow slightly.
He looked at the delicate little girl in front of him. He didn't feel much of anything, after all, he had lived a lifetime already, so he wouldn't have any inappropriate thoughts about a little girl.
Even if he did, he'd have to wait a few years, until Tian Linger grew up, right?!
"Greetings, Senior Sister."
Ji Changfeng casually called out.
He was just trying to appease a child.
"Se-Senior Sister." Zhang Xiaofan lowered his head, feeling a bit embarrassed. His face was slightly flushed. This was the first time in his life he had seen such a beautiful girl...
"Hey! What's with the attitude? Can't you be a little more serious?"
Tian Linger didn't pay any mind to Zhang Xiaofan. She was a bit annoyed by Ji Changfeng's tone. Why was he being so casual?!
Could he be defying her, his senior sister?
Ji Changfeng was a little helpless.
Kids are really sensitive.
"Alright, Linger, don't bully your junior brother," Su Ru stepped forward and chided Tian Linger.
"Hmph!" Tian Linger snorted angrily.
She glared fiercely at Ji Changfeng, trying to scare him...
But alas.
Ji Changfeng merely glanced at it, a faint look in his eyes.
There was no reaction at all.
Seeing this, the fellow disciples of the Hall of Quietude burst into laughter, teasing: "Junior Sister Linger, it seems the little junior brother isn't impressed by you?"
"Exactly."
Facing the teasing of his senior brothers, the young Tian Linger glared at Ji Changfeng, clearly displeased.
"Cough, cough..."
But just then, Su Ru suddenly gave a light cough.
For a moment.
The entire Shoujingtang fell silent.
Su Ru's beautiful eyes swept over the disciples. "The Seven Peaks Martial Assembly will be here soon, and you all..."
"Shiniang!" Song Daren suddenly interrupted.
"What is it?" Su Ru frowned slightly.
Song Daren quickly said, "Shiniang, this disciple still needs to go and teach the two junior brothers their lessons and the rules of the sect, so I'll be going now..."
Su Ru nodded thoughtfully. "Alright, you may go."
As soon as she finished speaking.
Song Daren quickly pulled Ji Changfeng and Zhang Xiaofan away from Shoujingtang, completely ignoring the curses of his fellow disciples.
"Senior Brother! You coward!"
"Coward!"
"Quiet! Let me properly test how well you've been studying…"
Following Su Ru's soft reprimand.
The disciples of Dazhu Peak immediately wailed.
