"Impossible! Impossible! I've been pondering over this path for hundreds of years without any progress, and this... this kid just broke through to the Divine Infant Realm, and he's already able to trigger the power within the wooden carving. How is this possible?"

Li Yukun murmured to himself:

"Haha! Old relic, I told you, just because you can't do it doesn't mean my disciple can't!"

Hu Yiqiu laughed out loud and raised an eyebrow at Li Yukun, looking very smug.

He truly felt smug in his heart now!

Jiang Chen's talent, his understanding of the Great Dao, his comprehension of formation way, all made him feel that taking this disciple was too worth it.

At the same time, there was a tinge of fear in his heart, wondering if he truly had the ability to teach such a disciple. Was he leading him astray?

However, he wouldn't show this fear.

"Old drunkard, tell me, why? Why is this happening? Tell me!"

Li Yukun's aura suddenly surged, staring straight at Hu Yiqiu.

"Father!"

"Father-in-law!"

Jian Cangqiong and Li Qingzhu were startled and exclaimed.

Li Yukun's state at the moment seemed as if his Dao Heart was unstable, and this could affect his foundations greatly!

"Old relic, why are you going crazy? Is this worth it over such a small thing?"

Hu Yiqiu was also startled and shouted.

"No! It's not a small matter! If it weren't for that senior back then, my daughter and I would have had no place for burial; he saved us and gave me this wooden carving. At the time, he said if I could comprehend the Great Dao within the wooden carving, it would be my destiny; if someone else comprehended it, I must acknowledge him as my master and follow for life!"

Li Yukun said with an emotional expression, "Old drunkard, you didn't bring back a disciple; you brought back a master for me!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, all looking at Li Yukun in surprise.

Hu Yiqiu suddenly understood and calmed down, saying faintly, "Old relic, back then when you were saved by that senior with your daughter, weren't you thinking of following him already?"

"Yes!"

Li Yukun nodded, then frowned, "But how is he like your disciple? He..."

"The same!"

Hu Yiqiu said solemnly, "You received great kindness from someone, and it is only right to follow them. That senior didn't take you and gave you a condition. Are you going to become an ungrateful betrayer now?"

Jian Cangqiong and the others remained silent; though accepting Jiang Chen as Hu Yiqiu's disciple was somewhat difficult for them, since Li Yukun had promised the benefactor of those years, the matter of acknowledging a master could not be denied; otherwise, he would be ungrateful and faithless!

No one on the mountain top spoke anymore, all waiting for Li Yukun to accept this fact himself.

Sigh!

Li Yukun sighed lightly, the fluctuations of his aura dissipating as he calmed down.

"Old drunkard, oh old drunkard, I must've owed you in my past life!"

Li Yukun gave a bitter smile and glared at Hu Yiqiu.

"Haha... old relic, what do you owe me? You're recognizing my disciple as master, not me!"

Hu Yiqiu laughed out loud.

Jian Cangqiong and the others breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Hu Yiqiu with complex expressions. Li Yukun recognizing Hu Yiqiu's disciple as master, this...

Yun Tao and Jian Wuheng exchanged a dumbfounded look, waves of shock surging within them.

What, what did I just hear?

Elder Bei Mo is going to recognize Jiang Chen as master?!

What, what is all this!?

The two were completely dumbfounded, their minds in chaos.

"Let's not talk about this now; we'll discuss it after Jiang Chen finishes cultivating."

Jian Cangqiong spoke softly, glancing at Yun Tao and Jian Wuheng. Jian Cangqiong waved his hand, a Great Path Light Screen enveloping them.

"Elder Wine-crazed, although..."

Jian Cangqiong spoke seriously.

"Wait a moment, let me ease the old relic's heart; otherwise, he'll end up depressed!"

Hu Yiqiu raised his hand to interrupt Jian Cangqiong, looking at Li Yukun with a light laugh, "Old relic, recognizing Jiang Chen as master is absolutely appropriate. It's not just because he comprehended the Sword Dao within the wooden carving, but more importantly... do you know why I came down to help him isolate the Great Dao aura?"

"Why?"

Li Yukun looked at Hu Yiqiu in confusion.

Jian Cangqiong and the others also looked over, they were also confused.

"Actually, it's because I was overly concerned and forgot he hasn't comprehended the Wood Path and Earth Path yet, unable to merge them into the Wuying Sword Path. I was worried his Wuying Sword Path would be known by everyone so I came down to help him isolate the Great Dao au..."

Hu Yiqiu's words were interrupted by the exclamations of Li Yukun and the others.

"What did you say!?"

"Wuying Sword Path!?"

"What's going on!?"

Hu Yiqiu once again smiled smugly and said, "Before I came back, I took Jiang Chen and Yun Tao to the Black Forest where the Shadowless Sword Emperor senior fell, and a great tomb of the senior appeared. Jiang Chen, that kid, received the inheritance of the Shadowless Sword Emperor! So, old relic, recognizing him as master is absolutely logical. What is there to feel uncomfortable about?"

"He... is that senior's successor!?"

Li Yukun's eyes showed shock, which then turned into relief, "No wonder he could comprehend the Great Dao within the wooden carving. You're right, since he is that senior's successor, what is there to feel uncomfortable about? But you, old drunkard, really have found a great disciple!"

"Haha! To be honest, this disciple was really picked up!"

Hu Yiqiu chuckled.

"Hmm? What's the story?"

Everyone was surprised for a moment.

"At the time, this kid was going to participate in the Heavenly Sword Sect's disciple selection. He came from Molten Fire Town at the time..."

Hu Yiqiu explained the conflict between Jiang Chen, Liu Jianming, and Tang Zhenglin.

"I see!"

Everyone's eyes flashed with understanding.

"Alright, that's all about that kid. Cangqiong, what were you going to say just now?"

Hu Yiqiu turned to look at Jian Cangqiong.

In front of outsiders or juniors, everyone would call Jian Cangqiong the headmaster, but only when it's just the five of them, the terms of address would be casual.

"Elder Wine, what I wanted to say is also about Jiang Chen. Although we helped isolate the colorful clouds and Xiang Yun, and you helped him isolate the Great Dao aura, it has caused quite a stir, and it might not be easy to smooth over!"

Jian Cangqiong said seriously.

"Haha! I already have a strategy in mind, no need to worry."

Hu Yiqiu chuckled, waved his hand, and took out a long box from his space ring; "Look, what is this?"

"This..."

"God Concealing Spirit Herb!?"

"Is this the God Concealing Spirit Herb!?"

"Old drunkard, where did you get this?! This way your Primordial Spirit injury could be healed?!"

Jian Cangqiong and the others were all amazed, then looked at Hu Yiqiu with great joy.
