"Tell me about it."

Shi Xuan's face showed no emotional change, but his tone had become much more serious.

"Junior brother, I'd like to ask for your guidance. I wonder if it would be convenient."

After Shi Yuqi finished speaking, he carefully observed Shi Xuan's expression. If the other party refused, he had already thought of an excuse.

Shi Xuan replied without even thinking: "Senior brother, you're being too serious. Between us fellow disciples, it's just mutual sparring, there's no need to talk about 'seeking guidance'. It just so happens that I also want to temper my sword technique."

"Thank you, junior brother."

Shi Yuqi quickly raised his wine cup to toast Shi Xuan.

"Cheers!"

Shi Xuan said very heroically.

Shi Yuqi: "Cheers!"

"Two brothers, wait a moment."

Hong Bibo spoke, interrupting the two of them.

The two of them simultaneously turned their gazes to Hong Bibo's face, their eyes holding an inquisitive look.

Hong Bibo said shamelessly, "Can you count me in too?"

"No problem."

Shi Xuan thought that sparring with one person was sparring, and sparring with two people was no different, and said again: "Then let's drain this cup."

"Straightforward!"

"Good!"

After finishing a cup of wine, the three sat together harmoniously and continued drinking.

After the banquet, Shi Xuan returned to his residence and immediately picked up a pen to write a letter to his master, asking him to send his disciple to the Land of Slaughter for training.

Previously, Shi Xuan was not in a position to do so. Now that he had the ability to lead a disciple, leaving that kid on Miaomiao Mountain all day was not a solution.

On Miaomiao Mountain.

After receiving Shi Xuan's letter, Chu Feng casually tossed the paper aside and muttered, "It seems this kid is doing quite well in the Land of Slaughter, huh?"

He casually folded a paper crane, and after blowing on it, the paper crane flew towards the outer court of Miaomiao Mountain.

At this time, Liang Yi was cultivating with a group of fellow disciples. Although they were all inner court and true inheritance disciples, they were not disciples of the Chiefs and all trained in the outer court.

"Where is Liang Yi?"

A loud voice sounded in the outer court. Everyone turned to look in the direction of the sound and saw a paper crane floating in the sky.

Seeing the paper crane, Liang Yi immediately stepped forward and said respectfully, "Your disciple is present."

"The Chief summons you. Go to the Chief's separate courtyard at once to pay your respects."

The paper crane's voice was still full of authority.

"Your disciple obeys."

After Liang Yi responded, he walked towards the Chief's separate courtyard under the envious gazes of his fellow disciples.

The new disciples who had joined the Miscellaneous Dao Court saw this scene and began to whisper among themselves.

"Senior Brother Liang is being summoned by the Chief. Could it be that the Chief is going to accept him as a disciple?"

"How is that possible? The Chief is Liang Yi's grandmaster. If Liang Yi were to become the Chief's disciple, wouldn't he and his own master become brothers?"

"But being able to become a disciple of one of the various Masters is also a good thing for us!"

...

A moment later, Liang Yi arrived outside the Chief's separate courtyard. He spoke with utmost respect: "Your disciple, Liang Yi, has come to pay respects to Grandmaster."

He had been at Wen Dao Academy for several years now. The longer he stayed, the more he revered this grandmaster, and at the same time, he was glad that he had made the right choice back then.

"Come in."

Chu Feng's voice, as gentle as a spring breeze, came from within the Chief's separate courtyard.

"Yes."

After Liang Yi responded, he slowly walked into the Chief's separate courtyard.

As soon as he entered, he saw his grandmaster, who was like an exiled immortal, sitting before a stone table. He quickly bowed and said, "I pay my respects to Grandmaster."

"No need for formalities."

Chu Feng smiled as he sized up the grand-disciple before him.

"Thank you, Grandmaster."

Liang Yi continued to ask, "May I ask why Grandmaster has summoned this disciple?"

Chu Feng said with a smile, "Your master is currently training in the Land of Slaughter and wants to summon you there. However, he is also willing to seek your opinion. You may stay on Miaomiao Mountain or go, both are acceptable."

Liang Yi never expected that his grandmaster would summon him for this matter. He replied without the slightest hesitation, "In response to Grandmaster, this disciple is willing to follow and train with Master."

"Good."

As Chu Feng spoke, he took out his own token from his robes and pushed it forward.

The token flew slowly through the air and soon landed before Liang Yi.

"This is this seat's token. Tomorrow, take it to the Outer Affairs Court and find Elder Xiao Bai. Have him arrange this for you."

"Thank you, Grandmaster."

After taking the token, Liang Yi bowed to Chu Feng: "Then this disciple will take his leave first."

"Go on."

Chu Feng did not urge Liang Yi to stay.

The next day, Liang Yi left Miaomiao Mountain with the token Chu Feng gave him and, under the arrangement of the Outer Affairs Court, headed for the Land of Slaughter.

Several days later, Liang Yi finally saw his master, Shi Xuan, at Wen Dao Pass. His face lit up with joy as he quickly bowed, "Disciple pays respects to Master."

"No need for formalities."

Shi Xuan looked at his disciple, who was now at the ninth level of the Dao Foundation, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "A'Yi, you don't blame me for calling you from Miaomiao Mountain to this Land of Slaughter, do you?"

"I do not."

Liang Yi said, "Wherever Master is, this disciple will be."

"Why are you getting all sentimental on me?"

Shi Xuan continued, "We cultivators, in addition to growing our cultivation, also need a great deal of real combat, and this Land of Slaughter is the best place to temper ourselves. Believe me, by the time we master and disciple leave this Land of Slaughter, it will be the time our names shake the world."

"This disciple will definitely not disappoint Master."

Liang Yi said with an excited face.

...

Time passes unnoticed in cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.

In a secret chamber at Wen Dao Pass, Shi Xuan was in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Dao Union Realm.

Three days later, Shi Xuan finally broke through to the Dao Union Realm. He abruptly opened his eyes and muttered, "Finally, the Dao Union Realm. Now, as long as I don't meet a cultivator who has comprehended the True Meaning of the Great Dao, no one below the Half-Saint realm can hold me. Fighting across realms to kill a Nirvana realm cultivator will also be easy. It's time to return to Miaomiao Mountain."

With that, Shi Xuan pushed open the stone door and walked outside.

As soon as he went out, he saw Shi Yuqi, Hong Bibo, Liang Yi, and the others.

"Congratulations, junior brother, on breaking through to the Dao Union Realm and becoming an elder of our Wen Dao Academy."

Shi Yuqi was the first to step forward and offer his congratulations, his eyes filled with strong envy.

"You flatter me, senior brother. You are only half a step away from the Dao Union Realm yourself. I imagine within three years, I will have to start calling you Elder Shi."

Shi Xuan said with a smile.

"Junior brother, stop joking. An elder like me is simply worlds apart from you."

As Shi Yuqi sighed with emotion, he was also very glad that he had made the right choice back then. In this short period, he had gone from the seventh level of the Nurturing God Realm to half-step Dao Union. There was hope of reaching Nirvana in this lifetime. When that time came, he would no longer have to guard this Land of Slaughter.

Shi Xuan said with a smile, "Let's skip the pleasantries. Let's have a good drink tonight. Tomorrow, I will set off to return to Wen Dao Academy to pay my respects to Master."

Shi Yuqi: "Of course. Let's go!"

That night, everyone drank until midnight before the banquet ended. Early the next morning, Shi Xuan flew on his sword with his disciple Liang Yi, leaving Wen Dao Pass...
