The small wooden house had the style of a girl's boudoir. The decorations were exquisite but not extravagant.
Behind the curtain, a graceful figure was sitting cross-legged. She sat there quietly, but there was an indescribable charm to her.
There was a purple-gold incense burner in front of her. Smoke rose in spirals like clouds and mist, as if she was in an immortal realm.
"Master, he was able to find this place. It seems that he is indeed extraordinary." The white-robed woman stood respectfully in front of the curtain and whispered to the woman behind it.
She was curious as to why her master would care so much about that student, to the point of lowering herself to personally teach him. In her opinion, that youth was a little sloppy and ordinary. Moreover, he suffered from narcolepsy. He did not even meet the standards of an ordinary student.
Unfortunately, although she was curious, her master never explained anything to her.
"If he doesn't even have this much ability, then he wouldn't be 'him'."
The woman behind the curtain smiled. Her white hand gently stroked the curtain, revealing a peerlessly beautiful face. In that instant, everything in the world seemed to be overshadowed. Even the sun and moon couldn't compare to her beauty.
This woman was none other than Xi Qianye's homeroom teacher, You Lansi.
Even Xi Qianye wouldn't have thought that she would appear here. Moreover, she was the mysterious woman's master.
"Someone as peerless as him has returned to the world. I'm afraid this world … won't be peaceful for long."
You Lansi smiled. Her smile was as bright as spring, dimming the sun and moon.
…
Xi Qianye was like a wooden stake. He quietly sat cross-legged beside the lake. He didn't move at all for three days and three nights.
Gradually, he seemed to have become one with the world. He was like the air, like the flowers, like the trees, like the void, like everything in the world, but also like nothing existed.
It was so natural and harmonious.
It existed, but it didn't seem to leave any trace in the world.
The bird glided across the beautiful lake, skimming across the surface of the water like a dragonfly. Then, it passed through the side of the lake in the blink of an eye. Qianye's body actually passed through without any hindrance.
He was no longer a creature of this world. He was this world, encompassing all things. He was one with the world, one with the world, one with the laws, and one with the laws.
On a wooden building in the distance, the mysterious woman quietly looked at Xi Qianye by the lake. Her beautiful eyes were solemn, as if she had seen something inconceivable. She stared at him for a long time.
Suddenly, Xi Qianye stood up and stepped forward. He came to the surface of the lake and walked on the water. A straw appeared in his hand at some point in time. He wielded the straw like a sword and slowly danced on the surface of the lake. It was as if it was made by nature and there was no sense of disharmony.
There was only beauty and nature in the sword. There was no sharpness, no killing intent, and no traces.
"Heaven and Earth are one, all things are one with me."
The mysterious woman muttered to herself. At this moment, there was no longer Xi Qianye in her eyes, nor was there any sword technique. There was only the circulation of the Laws of the Heavens and Earth, and they were moving rhythmically …
Clang!
There was a long sword hum.
She could no longer hold it in and drew her sword. Her white clothes fluttered like a swan, like a sudden thunder. She flew out of the wooden house in an instant and swept across the lake. In a flash, she arrived in front of Xi Qianye and attacked him with her sword.
The sword light was like thunder, and the sword intent was like rain. It instantly covered the entire lake, as if there was nowhere to hide.
If it were anyone else, they would have been flustered and their faces would have turned pale when facing such a terrifying sword technique.
However, Xi Qianye was still the same as before. He held the straw sword in his hand and gently waved it, neither fast nor slow. The rhythm was the same as the heaven and earth. He was like the law of heaven and earth. No matter what happened or changed, he would not change at all.
However, the awe-inspiring sword Qi that filled the lake was disappearing silently. There were no waves, as if it had never appeared.
The woman in white was expressionless, but she was not convinced. She waved her sword again and attacked. The sword Qi covered a distance of 3,000 meters, and the water of the lake exploded in half, plowing a gully on the surface of the water.
However, such a powerful attack still did not have any effect on Xi Qianye. At this moment, he seemed to have really become a part of the Heavens and Earth, encompassing everything.
"The power of the Heaven Realm can't break his state at all."
The woman in white frowned slightly. She did not use all her strength. With her cultivation, if she used all her strength, the entire lake would be razed to the ground. Although the young man was in a strange state at this time, he would definitely not be able to withstand it.
Cultivators went against the heavens, and the best ones could destroy the Heavens and Earth with a raise of their hand. Therefore, one could not be invincible just by being one with the Heavens and Earth.
However, Xi Qianye was only a Mortal Realm cultivator after all. Even if he was one with the Heavens, he should not be that strong.
However, she had already displayed the power of the Heaven Realm, but she still could not defeat him.
It could only mean that he was one with the Heavens and Earth and could borrow the power of the Heavens and Earth.
The woman in white kept increasing her power level to fight against Xi Qianye.
First Firmament Heaven Realm.
Second Firmament Heaven Realm, Third Firmament Heaven Realm … Seventh Firmament Heaven Realm.
It was not until the Seventh Firmament Heaven Realm that the woman in white realized that her power was only on par with Xi Qianye's.
Moreover, it was only on par.
If she wanted to defeat him and strike him with the state of being one with the Heavens, she would probably need the power of the Ninth Firmament Heaven Realm.
The Ninth Firmament Heaven Realm was comparable to a Venerable One's power.
The woman in white was extremely shocked.
Xi Qianye was only a Mortal Realm cultivator!
If he could enter this state at any time, would it not mean that he was comparable to half a Venerable One?
After the rain, the sky cleared up, and the aura dissipated. The lake gradually returned to calm.
Xi Qianye finally walked out of the state of being one with the Heavens and Earth. He turned into a quiet young man and stood quietly on the lake.
"Did you come here to break through to the Spirit Realm?" The woman in white stared at Xi Qianye.
"To break through to the Great Perfection, which is the so-called Tenth Firmament of the Mortal Realm." Xi Qianye smiled and said.
Once one reached the Great Perfection, they could immediately enter the next realm, which was why he had already broken through to the Spirit Realm.
"What, you just broke through to the End Realm of the Mortal Realm?"
The woman in white was shocked. Before, Xi Qianye was in the state of being one with the Heavens and Earth. His aura was one with Heaven and Earth, which was why she couldn't sense the changes in Xi Qianye's body.
The End Realm of the Tenth Firmament!
Even if it was just the End Realm of the Mortal Realm, the Warspear Academy hadn't seen one in decades.
She had tried to break through to the End Realm of the Mortal Realm, but she failed in the end.
This was why she was clear about how difficult it was to reach the End Realm of a Realm. It was far harder than breaking through to the next Realm.
The woman in white looked deeply at Xi Qianye and didn't speak for a long time. Now she finally understood why her Master valued this young man so much.
"What sword technique did you use just now?"
The woman in white knew that in terms of the Sword Path, she could be ranked in the top ten in the entire Xiling Country.
However, in the battle just now, she was at a disadvantage. A straw flashed across, but it gave her the feeling of a world, a world of swords.
"Path Sword."
Xi Qianye thought about it and said.
What he used just now was actually a sword technique, but also not a sword technique.
For someone of his level, even if he was only at the Mortal Realm, there were traces of the Dao in his actions.
When a technique was cultivated to the peak, it would be close to the Dao. The Dao could also be evolved from techniques. The sword technique he used was actually the Dao.
This was why it was suitable to call it the Path Sword.
"What a good Path Sword, you have broadened my horizons." The woman in white nodded her head slightly.
"Sorry for disturbing you these three days. Thank you for letting me stay here to cultivate. I don't dare to disturb you anymore. I will take my leave now. Maybe we will meet again in the future."
Xi Qianye bowed slightly before turning around and leaving on the waves.
Since he had already achieved his goal, he naturally wouldn't stay here any longer. That mysterious woman in white and the Green Leopard Dragon under the lake both posed a fatal threat to him. He had to leave early in case more problems arose.
"Master, who is he?" The woman in white returned to the house. She couldn't hold back her curiosity anymore.
You Lansi shook her head slightly and said softly, "Yan 'er, don't be so rude to him in the future. Otherwise, you will be punished according to the sect rules."
Gu Qingyan knew that her master wouldn't tell her the reason. She lowered her head and looked at the tip of her shoes. Her master rarely disciplined her.
However, because of that young man, her master said that to her, which made her feel wronged.
"A thousand years of misty rain as cold as frost, haunting souls in the middle of the night. A hero who has never let anyone down, but who has he let down?"
You Lansi sighed softly. Her eyes were like smoke as if they had traveled through time and space.
In her previous life, you let down too many people, and too many people were waiting for your return.
In this life, in the next life, time is merciless. I will wait for the moment when you become the ruler of the world, and then I will accompany you to fight the world.
The Emperor will dominate the nine heavens and look down on the common people.
…
"Sister Yuxuan, I heard that the Elixir Guild's Elixir Assembly will be held in the Secluded Jade Villa. Do you know about it?"
"I heard about it too. It's a big event in our Battle Spear City. It's said that many big shots from other counties will come, and even people from the imperial city might be there.
Unfortunately, only some influential people are qualified to attend. We can forget about it. "
On a green path in the school, three to five girls were surrounding Meng Yuxuan and chatting.
Meng Yuxuan, who wasn't very outstanding, had become the leader of a small group.
"The Elixir Guild's Elixir Assembly?
Are you talking about this? "
Meng Yuxuan smiled and proudly took out an invitation card. The words "Elixir Assembly" were written on it.
"Wow!
The Elixir Assembly's invitation card. Oh my god, Sister Yuxuan, you are so awesome. "
"Only the top nobles can attend the Elixir Assembly. I grew up listening to the legends of the Elixir Assembly.
Sister Yuxuan, you are so awesome. "
…
Compliments were constantly heard from the mouths of several young girls. Everyone knew that Chen Binran was the reason why Meng Yuxuan could get the invitation card of the Pill Assembly.
After all, with Meng Yuxuan's status, she was not qualified to attend the Elixir Assembly.
Moreover, even with Chen Binran's status, it was quite difficult for him to get two invitations.
It was obvious that Chen Binran valued Meng Yuxuan.
The girls were jealous and envious, but they had to compliment Meng Yuxuan.
It was quite common in the school to climb up to influential people.
Meng Yuxuan's lips curled up slightly. She straightened her neck and puffed out her chest, as proud as a peacock.
The Elixir Assembly held by the Elixir Assembly was approaching, and the school was full of discussions. Those students who were qualified to attend were undoubtedly the most eye-catching.
Many people came to ask for help, hoping that the influential disciples could help to buy some pills at the Elixir Assembly.
