Bang!

With a loud bang, Cao Youqian fell heavily to the ground.

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

They saw Cao Youqian patting the dust off his body, standing up as if nothing had happened and saying: "Senior brother, you struck too hard, almost made me spit out a mouthful of old blood."

Hiss...

Seeing this, everyone subconsciously took a sharp breath. This Cao Tianjiao was too resilient.

Anyone present who had taken that sword earlier would have only one outcome: death.

But the Cao Youqian before them was unharmed as if nothing had happened. His trip to Manzhou was indeed the right decision.

At the same time, Xiao Chen also descended from the sky, asking with a smile: "Daqian, how many more of my swords can you take?"

Cao Youqian shrugged: "Ten swords at most, any more and I'll lose my life."

"Not bad, you've improved a lot compared to before."

Xiao Chen said with great satisfaction.

As they spoke, Chu Feng's voice also came from the main seat.

"You two little fellows, stop flattering each other down there, take your seats, and continue drinking."

"Yes."

The two brothers clasped their hands toward Chu Feng and responded.

After they returned to their seats, they found that the looks in everyone's eyes toward them had changed.

They just exchanged a smile and didn't say much more.

The banquet continued until late at night before ending.

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

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

"Host's disciple Ye Beixuan has comprehended a trace of the Great Dao's true meaning, Host's Great Dao's true meaning +10."

Hearing this voice, Chu Feng's mouth slightly curved upward, thinking: It seems this kid Beixuan will soon return to the Wen Dao Academy.

At the same time.

Within the Phoenix Ancestral Land.

Ye Beixuan slowly opened his eyes, thinking: This trip was indeed not in vain, it actually allowed me to comprehend two traces of the Great Dao's true meaning.

This was something I couldn't even imagine in my previous life. With my current strength, I wonder how strong my senior brother and second senior brother are now.

After tidying up a bit, he left the Nirvana Land.

"Beixuan, you're out, how do you feel?"

Seeing Ye Beixuan walk out, the Feng family's ancestor showed an excited expression.

Ye Beixuan clasped his hands and said: "Replying to the ancestor, I have comprehended a trace of the Great Dao's true meaning."

"Good, good."

The Feng family's ancestor said the word "good" twice in a row.

Ye Beixuan asked: "Where is Qiongyu?"

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

"Alright."

Ye Beixuan stood quietly beside the Feng family's ancestor, waiting for his Dao companion to appear.

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

The big shots of the Phoenix clan present showed stunned expressions when they saw this.

The ancestor of the ancestral land even exclaimed: "Half of this woman's blood has transformed into Phoenix blood, and she has also condensed Phoenix essence blood. When she undergoes Nirvana, she will be able to transform into a Phoenix."

Hiss...

Hearing this, everyone present subconsciously took a sharp breath.

That ancestor stepped forward and asked: "Qiongyu, are you willing to take this saint as your master?"

Feng Qiongyu's face immediately showed a conflicted expression, and her gaze instantly turned toward Ye Beixuan beside her.

This scene was naturally seen by everyone present.

Everyone now felt only envy toward Ye Beixuan. To make a woman who was about to become a true Phoenix so infatuated, this kid's luck was truly not something ordinary people could compare to.

Ye Beixuan smiled and gently stroked Feng Qiongyu's small face: "Qiongyu, no matter what choice you make, I will support you. Moreover, our goal is not just to become a saint. Staying here will be better for your future development."

Breadth of mind. Everyone present finally understood what breadth of mind meant. No wonder this kid Ye Beixuan could reach his current position today.

The Feng family's ancestor and the saint of the ancestral land also looked at Ye Beixuan with new respect.

Receiving Ye Beixuan's encouragement, Feng Qiongyu nodded slightly and said: "Husband, then I will stay in the Phoenix Ancestral Land to cultivate. After I become a great sage, I will go find you."

"Good."

Ye Beixuan said: "If I become a great sage, I will also come to the Phoenix Ancestral Land to meet you."

The Phoenix Saint said: "Beixuan, this seat can specially reserve the resources needed for transmission for you. You can come see Qiongyu at any time."

"Thank you, senior."

Ye Beixuan said respectfully.

"Still calling me senior? I am already your master now." The saint said with a smile.

There was nothing wrong with this statement. The master of one's Dao companion was also one's own master.

Ye Beixuan spoke again: "Thank you, master."

The Phoenix Saint said: "Alright, this seat will not disturb you two young couples. You should go back and rest first."

...

Seven days later.

Ye Beixuan and the people from the Fire Phoenix Valley returned to Xuanzhou. Returning to a familiar place, Ye Beixuan felt the air was exceptionally fresh.

After bidding farewell to his father-in-law's family, he hurried nonstop to the Wen Dao Academy, finally returning to the mountain half a month later.

"Disciple Ye Beixuan pays respects to master."

Inside the head courtyard, Ye Beixuan bowed toward Chu Feng.

"Rise."

Chu Feng said with a smile: "Beixuan, for you to comprehend two traces of the Great Dao's true meaning during this training is truly a big surprise for this master."

"All of this is thanks to master. Without master's guidance, this disciple would absolutely not have today's achievements."

Ye Beixuan said sincerely.

Chu Feng: "You kid, stop with such formalities with this master. Go back and rest first. Tonight, we'll have a good celebration. It just so happens that most of our fellow disciples are in the mountain."

"Yes."

Ye Beixuan responded respectfully.

Just as he was about to leave, a figure descended from the sky. As soon as the person landed, they spoke: "Disciple Nie Xiuyuan pays respects to master."

Seeing the newcomer, Chu Feng laughed: "You old rascal, you're finally back from your carefree days. To return on the same day as Beixuan, what a coincidence."

Nie Xiuyuan said: "This disciple traveled for a while and suddenly missed the days of brewing wine with master, so I came back."

"I understand what you mean. Your wine is all gone."

Chu Feng teased with a smile.

"Hehe."

Nie Xiuyuan chuckled: "Indeed, nothing can be hidden from master."

Chu Feng: "Alright, then let's have a good few drinks tonight."

Nie Xiuyuan: "Yes."

At night, inside the head courtyard, cups and goblets were passed around.

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

Everyone listened happily as Nie Xiuyuan and Ye Beixuan recounted their experiences, drinking merrily.

Only Wang Baole sat alone to the side, drinking in silence. Being surpassed by his junior brother made him a little depressed.

After a few cups of wine, Wang Baole made a decision. This time he went out to train, he must comprehend the Great Dao's true meaning, otherwise, he would not return...
