"Holy Son, you flatter me. I am still far from becoming a Sword Emperor."

Xiao Chen said humbly.

The Sword Emperor's shadow said: "You need not be modest. Within a thousand years, you will surely be able to bear the heavenly mandate and ascend to the Nine Heavens."

"Ascend to the Nine Heavens?"

A look of yearning appeared on Xiao Chen's face.

"Junior, there is nothing more this Emperor can teach you. Let us meet again if fate allows."

The Sword Emperor's shadow said as it dissipated before Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen bowed slightly toward where the figure had vanished, then turned and returned the way he came.

He had only taken one step when his entire body instantly appeared outside Sword Emperor Cliff.

At this time, the area was already surrounded by cultivators. Jian Xin and Yuan Ke were undoubtedly the focus of everyone's attention, with many cultivators gathered around them seeking guidance.

"Holy Son Xiao has come out!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, and everyone's attention turned toward him.

Xiao Chen smiled and walked slowly toward the group from the Sword Dao Academy.

Dean Meng was the first to greet him, asking: "Holy Son, I wonder what gains you have from this enlightenment."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present turned their attention to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen could clearly understand Dean Meng's implication. He figured that Yuan Ke and Jian Xin must have gained significantly earlier, otherwise the Dean wouldn't have reacted this way.

He said with a smile: "This time, I was fortunate enough to receive guidance from the Sword Emperor and comprehend three truths of sword dao."

When these words fell, the entire place fell silent. Everyone looked at Xiao Chen with shocked expressions.

Hiss...

Someone in the crowd gasped, pulling everyone back from their astonishment to reality.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, congratulations, congratulations."

Yuan Ke and Jian Xin were the first to step forward and offer their congratulations.

Seeing this, the people around them also stepped forward to offer their congratulations.

"Old Man Meng, congratulations to your academy."

"Old Man Meng, you're treating us to drinks tonight."

"..."

Listening to the congratulations, Dean Meng wore a smile on his face but was thinking to himself: You fellows are quite wicked, deliberately pointing out me. This Holy Son Xiao wasn't cultivated by our Sword Dao Academy.

Amidst the chorus of congratulations, Xiao Chen and his group walked down the mountain.

Soon they returned to their lodging at the Sword Dao Academy.

Dean Meng asked: "Holy Son Xiao, what are your plans next?"

Xiao Chen replied: "If you don't mind, Dean, I plan to first share my gains from Sword Emperor Cliff with the Sword Dao Academy."

He was not an ungrateful person. This time, he had occupied one of the Sword Dao Academy's spots to participate in the West Mountain Sword Discussion.

If he just left without a word, that would be too ungrateful.

Hearing this, Dean Meng immediately gave Xiao Chen a thumbs-up.

"I don't mind, of course I don't mind. Our Sword Dao Academy has always had a rule for disciples to preach to their fellow sect members after returning from enlightenment at Sword Emperor Cliff. Since Holy Son is willing to preach, I couldn't ask for more."

Xiao Chen smiled and asked: "When shall we return?"

"We'll leave tomorrow."

Dean Meng was already looking forward to Xiao Chen teaching the disciples of the Sword Dao Academy. After all, this young man was the first person in the history of the West Mountain Sword Discussion on the Sword Continent to comprehend three truths of sword dao.

It had to be said, a genius is a genius. Even as his senior, he felt he couldn't compare.

The next day, everyone boarded the flying vessel and returned to the Sword Dao Academy.

After resting for a day, Xiao Chen began to preach to his fellow sect members about his gains at Sword Emperor Cliff.

For a time, Xiao Chen's reputation soared at the Sword Dao Academy. Many disciples even begged him to stay and become the Holy Son of the Sword Dao Academy, and eventually its future Dean.

The Barbarian Continent.

At the Giant God Academy, Cao Youqian also emerged from his secluded cultivation.

As soon as he came out, the dean and others of the Giant God Academy came forward to greet him.

Great Sage Jiaoyang asked: "Little Qianqian, how many Great Dao truths did you comprehend this time from refining the divine crystals?"

Cao Youqian held up three fingers: "This time, I comprehended a total of three Great Dao truths."

Hiss...

Hearing this, the Great Sages present all looked at Cao Youqian with envy in their eyes.

Great Sage Jiaoyang said with a joyous expression: "This way, when you return to the Wendao 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 fellow Senior Brother's opportunities and fortune are no less than mine. I imagine he also gained quite a lot from his trip to the Sword Continent."

While he said this, he thought to himself: Senior Brother, you had better not be caught up to, that would be no fun.

The dean of the Giant God Academy said: "Since Holy Son Cao is out of seclusion, this old man will host a banquet today. How about you share your insights with the geniuses of our academy?"

"As you command."

Cao Youqian agreed without a second thought. He was more adept than anyone at handling social etiquette.

At the same time, on a small island in the Endless Sea.

Nie Xiuyuan walked out of a cave. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly: "I have finally comprehended another Great Dao truth. At this rate, I will surely comprehend five Great Dao truths before reaching the Half-Saint Realm. It is also time to return to the sect to see Master and my fellow sect members.

I wonder how everyone is doing now?"

----------

At the Wendao Academy, within the Miscellaneous Dao Courtyard.

Chu Feng was holding a book and reading it with great interest when the sound of the system suddenly echoed in his mind.

"Host's disciple Nie Xiuyuan has comprehended one Great Dao truth. Host's Great Dao truths +10."

Hiss...

Chu Feng subconsciously gasped, thinking to himself: These fellows are all getting stronger one after another.

In just one short month, they have added 90 Great Dao truths for me.

This brings my Great Dao truths to 690. With only 309 points left, I can achieve 999 Great Dao truths and step into the Saint Realm in one go.

Thinking of this, the corners of Chu Feng's mouth turned up into the shape of a dragon king's.

But then again, when will these three disciples return to the Wendao Academy.

It has been some days since he last saw them, and he, as their master, rather missed them.

Just as Chu Feng was lost in thought, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the courtyard.

He unhurriedly placed the book in his hand on the stone table and looked outside. He saw Great Sage Golden Wings striding in.

Chu Feng smiled and teased: "What's the matter that has you, the Eagle Prince, in such a rush?"

"Brother, stop teasing me. Bai Yu is about to break through to the Half-Saint Realm. I don't know what to do, so I came to ask for your advice," Great Sage Golden Wings said.

Hearing this, Chu Feng picked up the book in his hand again and said while flipping through it: "Just report it to the dean. As your adoptive father, he will naturally arrange everything properly. After all, Bai Yu is also his daughter-in-law."

Smack!

Great Sage Golden Wings slapped his own forehead and said: "How could I forget that? I'll go find my adoptive father right now."

With that, he turned to leave. Before departing, he did not forget to glance at the book in Chu Feng's hands, seeing the large words "You Get Stronger by Marrying a Wife, Madam XX" written on the cover.

Great Sage Golden Wings shook his head, thinking to himself: Why is Brother reading this kind of storybook now?

Several days later, Princess Bai Yu successfully broke through and became a Great Sage.

Chu Feng also received two pieces of good news...
