"Don't worry, Master. I know my limits; I won't be arrogant or conceited." Ye Tianfan understood what Tian Chu Zhenren was concerned about, so he assured him.

"Hmm!" Tian Chu Zhenren nodded, then continued to say to Ye Tianfan, "The reason I called you out so late tonight is because tomorrow you will be dueling with Uncle Yun Tian, and considering the Immortal Techniques you've learned and those you've created, it seems you don't have the means to counteract him."

Upon hearing this, Ye Tianfan thought for a moment. It seemed true; he didn't have many means to counteract Senior Brother Yun Tian. Even without the Qilin Seal, and without those two Supreme Magical Treasures, relying solely on Immortal Techniques and cultivation, he seemed lacking in ways to counteract him.

But from Tian Chu Zhenren's words, was he implying he was going to teach him some Immortal Techniques? Or something else?

Indeed, the situation that followed was much like Ye Tianfan expected.

"Next, I will teach you a unique secret technique of Taifeng Peak. This technique can only be used by those from Taifeng Peak and is not recorded in the Library Pavilion of Taichu Sect, so if disciples from other branches wish to learn it, it's impossible, and every branch has its exclusive secret technique.

According to tradition, it should be taught to you after reaching the Thousand Source Realm, but I believe given your situation, you should be able to use it. Moreover, tomorrow you need to give it your all, not only do you as a disciple need to give it your all, but I as your master must also show my commitment." After Tian Chu Zhenren finished speaking, he began to explain the unique secret technique of Taifeng Peak to Ye Tianfan.

After memorizing the technique's formula, spells, and release movements, Tian Chu Zhenren patted Ye Tianfan's shoulder and said, "We'll see how far you can go tomorrow. Do your best!" After saying this, Tian Chu Zhenren left.

Ye Tianfan sat cross-legged on the ground in the small forest, gazing at the sky blankly. He was able to use the secret technique now. Shortly after Tian Chu Zhenren left, he used a little bit of Spiritual Power to test it out, at least ensuring he wouldn't shoot blanks during the contest.

Ye Tianfan practiced the release process a few more times, ensuring the process wouldn't go wrong by not using too much Spiritual Power. However, the ultimate power it could reach depended on tomorrow's circumstances.

If he were to unleash it with full force, it seemed no one at Taichu Peak would be getting any sleep tonight.

Staring at the sky, Ye Tianfan suddenly felt a bit lonely. Despite having so many senior brothers around him and his master being so good to him, why did he feel lonely?

Because he was never truly of this world. Although he had slowly adapted to it and even made a name for himself here, it didn't change the fact that he wasn't part of this world.

Looking at the sky, Ye Tianfan thought of his wife Qin Ruomeng, wondering how she was doing since he went missing. Whether she was still collaborating with Long Yuqing, and if they were looking at the same stars.

It's been over a year since Ye Tianfan arrived here—over a year here—and he wondered how much time had passed in that world, whether the flow of time was the same.

His sudden disappearance probably caused chaos over there. After all, his identity was greatly entangled and not just a typical missing person.

Thinking of this made Ye Tianfan feel uneasy. He got up, intending to return to the dormitory to sleep, as it was already very late. Although he could go nights without sleep, Ye Tianfan was still accustomed to sleeping. If he didn't sleep for a day, despite his mind not changing much, he would always feel like something was missing.

Moreover, when feeling uneasy in his heart, aside from drinking to forget, he could also sleep. When asleep, he didn't have to think about anything.

Once Ye Tianfan returned to the dormitory, he discovered that Senior Brother You Tianjiao was still awake and waiting for him.

Ye Tianfan felt a little embarrassed. The senior brother was too considerate of him, even waiting until he returned to sleep peacefully. Under You Tianjiao's care, Ye Tianfan often felt like an ungrown child.

In You Tianjiao's eyes, not just Ye Tianfan, but even several junior brothers seemed like children. After all, from an age perspective, You Tianjiao was close to being a hundred years old, and for him, looking at Ye Tianfan, who was only twenty, was definitely like looking at a child!

"Senior Brother, you're still awake!" Ye Tianfan said to his senior brother sitting on the bed reading a book, waiting for him.

"Little Junior Brother is back." Upon seeing Ye Tianfan return, You Tianjiao stood up to get water for Ye Tianfan to wash.

"Senior Brother, I'll handle it myself. You go ahead and sleep!" Ye Tianfan couldn't let his senior brother take care of him and quickly went to pour water to wash up himself.

"Alright, once you've washed up, go to sleep quickly. Tomorrow I'll call you, aim to defeat Senior Yun Tian." You Tianjiao offered encouragement to Ye Tianfan, unlike Tian Chu Zhenren.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother, I will give my utmost effort." Ye Tianfan said to You Tianjiao. In fact, upon learning the origin of Senior Yun Tian's Qilin Seal, his confidence waned, realizing it was merely a trial, not a life-and-death battle.

If it were a life-and-death battle, even if the opponent was a Taichu Realm cultivator, Ye Tianfan would dare to fight—willing to bite a chunk out even at the cost of his life.

However, this was merely a trial, and the prize wasn't highly attractive to him. So, if the opponent truly was a Taichu Realm cultivator, Ye Tianfan would choose to bow.

This wasn't Ye Tianfan being truly timid, but rather avoiding hopeless battles, given it was only a spar and not necessary to seek discomfort.

After Ye Tianfan washed up and returned to the dormitory, he found Senior Brother had already laid down, so Ye Tianfan walked in quietly and lay on his own bed.

Ye Tianfan didn't immediately fall asleep. With his current realm, falling asleep was simple; he could instantly sleep by severing the connection between his Divine Sense and body. However, this sleep would only involve the body and not the spirit.

He extinguished the oil lamp with a flick, then stared at the dark ceiling, sighing softly. He wasn't sighing about tomorrow's contest; he was wondering when he could return to his original world.

Nine Dragon Cup, Nine Dragon Cup, what are you really? Never heard of its ability to traverse dimensions. After thousands of years, only he had traveled; perhaps some conditions must be met?

He wondered if this world had the Nine Dragon Cup. If it did, he would stop at nothing to obtain it, even if it means giving up everything.

After this contest, he planned to check some books in the study to see if there were any mentions of the Nine Dragon Cup among the world's amazing Magical Treasures.
