"Wan Xuan fourth... wait, you..." Just as Tian Chu Zhenren was about to tell Ye Tianfan about going out to train, he sensed an unusual fluctuation of mana around Ye Tianfan. This wasn't the fluctuation of the third layer of Wan Xuan!

Could it be?

"Tianfan, have you broken through to the fourth layer?" Tian Chu Zhenren asked with a slight tremble in his voice, not noticing it himself. If it was true as he suspected, then Ye Tianfan was indeed more than just highly talented.

Judging by Ye Tianfan's cultivation speed, he might one day reach the Taichu realm, a realm that hasn't been reached in a long time by anyone, not just in the Taichu Sect, but throughout the entire cultivation world.

Even the current most talented Demon Sect Leader, Zhang Youji, is still struggling at the Ten Directions realm.

"Master, I don't know. I just felt this morning, upon waking, that I might have broken through, but I haven't started practicing yet, so I haven't checked," Ye Tianfan said.

"Then why are you hesitating? Hurry and sit cross-legged to check!" Since meeting Ye Tianfan, Tian Chu Zhenren seemed to have distanced himself from sternness and solemnity completely.

Of course, Tian Chu Zhenren could have directly infused his own spiritual qi into Ye Tianfan to check, but after cultivators break through to the fourth layer of Wan Xuan and are capable of sword flight, the spiritual qi within them undergoes a qualitative change, becoming more protective.

If Tian Chu Zhenren used his own spiritual qi to check Ye Tianfan, he would encounter resistance from Ye Tianfan's internal spiritual qi. While this resistance is negligible for Tian Chu Zhenren, it would cause slight disruption to Ye Tianfan, affecting the operation of his internal spiritual qi. Of course, Ye Tianfan could cleanse it with a few cycles, but it would delay his cultivation for the day.

Ye Tianfan sat cross-legged and began to examine his cultivation. He discovered that he had indeed broken through to the fourth layer of Wan Xuan and it was quite stable. He quickly opened his eyes to inform Tian Chu Zhenren of his situation.

"Good! Good! The righteous path has hope again; finally, someone who can contend with the Demon Sect Leader Zhang Youji has appeared." After his emotional outburst, Tian Chu Zhenren looked seriously at Ye Tianfan, "Now that you've reached the fourth layer of Wan Xuan, it's time to go out and train. However, you don't have to go, as your talent is exceedingly important. I wish to hear your choice: whether to go out now for training or wait a few more years?"

Tian Chu Zhenren wasn't unwilling to let Ye Tianfan go; after all, young eagles must eventually fly. Keeping Ye Tianfan sheltered would ultimately waste his immense talent. As the saying goes, reading ten thousand books is not as useful as traveling ten thousand miles. The question was simply posed because training is necessary. A bit more strengthening of self-defense abilities through cultivation, and then he could go out for training.

Ye Tianfan thought for a moment. Given his current abilities, he wouldn't be able to escape if he encountered a master. However, there would definitely be great opportunities outside, unlike the limited ones at Taifeng Peak.

"Master, I choose to go out for training now," Ye Tianfan said respectfully.

Flying out from the Taichu Sect, Ye Tianfan found the journey somewhat challenging, nearly falling several times. After all, falling from such heights would result in certain death.

Ye Tianfan eventually descended the mountain. Before he left, Tian Chu Zhenren imparted some immortal techniques from the Taichu Sect and taught him the method of sword flight. It's fairly straightforward: as long as one's cultivation is deep enough and the magical treasure isn't too inferior, one can control the flying sword by enhancing Taichu Sect's third-layer telekinesis skills with telekinesis. Although Ye Tianfan had sufficient cultivation and decent magical treasure, he was still a beginner.

After learning, he experimented while leaving, staggering out of the Taifeng Peak.

Ye Tianfan's talent is indeed remarkable; ordinary cultivators take about a month to reach his level of sword flight proficiency. However, talent allows freedom. Shortly after leaving the Taifeng Peak, Ye Tianfan was flying smoothly and even executed a 180-degree turn in mid-air.

Just as Ye Tianfan was about to accelerate further, eager to test his ultimate speed and scan for a city, the sun began to set, signaling a need to find a place for the night. He noticed a city below.

To avoid drawing attention, Ye Tianfan didn't fly directly into the city but instead landed in a secluded spot outside its boundaries.

After landing, Ye Tianfan headed straight toward the city, as dusk was approaching, with less than an hour until nightfall.

"Yu Garden City!"

Ye Tianfan read the three large characters above the city gate upon arrival.

So this place is called Yu Garden City. I should go in and find accommodation first, continuing my journey tomorrow.

Once inside, to avoid trouble, Ye Tianfan changed out of his Taichu Sect disciple attire before entering the city, which prevented any suspicion. However, his refined appearance—enhanced by spiritual qi—did catch the attention of several young ladies from prominent families.

Ye Tianfan eventually found the largest inn in Yu Garden City through inquiries, the "Jade Tower Garden," and planned to stay there.

With money in hand and an impressive appearance, the shopkeeper assumed Ye Tianfan was a young master from a wealthy family, thus providing him with the best courtyard accommodation.

After a brief rest in his room, Ye Tianfan headed to the inn's restaurant.

The Jade Tower Garden's restaurant, situated on the city's most bustling street, offers peace in its VIP area. The spacious seventh-floor hall has only nine tables, with several private window-side seating areas, though currently unoccupied.

Ye Tianfan casually took a seat by one of the window-side private areas. No sooner had he sat down than a waiter approached with the menu.

After randomly ordering some dishes, Ye Tianfan gazed out the window, watching the lively street scene while awaiting his food.

Hmm?

Something's off. Despite being by the window with it open, I can't hear the bustling noise from outside at all from this private seating area.

Ye Tianfan sensed a spiritual qi reaction surrounding the entire window and walls, clearly indicating that the seventh floor was enveloped in an array.

It seems the owner of this Jade Tower Garden is extraordinary, going so far as to use an array for a quiet VIP hall.

Ye Tianfan mused that the establishment's owner was either extremely wealthy or a cultivator.

Shortly afterward, a series of fragrant, freshly stir-fried dishes were brought to the table by the waiter, instantly whetting his appetite.
