In the night sky, a bright moon hung high, stars twinkled, casting down soft light that dyed the entire world with a faint silver glow.
The strange trio walked under the moonlight, moving through the silent forest. Occasionally, there were sounds of insects and birds, but no sign of human habitation.
Xiao Lingxi, walking at the back, looked at the increasingly desolate scenery around her. Her suspicion towards Su Bai deepened, and one hand was already on her sword hilt.
As soon as there was any unusual movement, she would draw her sword immediately!
A moment later, a small hill appeared ahead. Su Bai reached out and pointed, "That is the Tiandao Sect ahead."
Hearing this, Xiao Lingxi quickly raised her head and looked intently.
This hill looked truly small in scale. There were hardly any decent buildings visible on it, only a dilapidated thatched cottage standing there alone.
It was completely silent all around. Let alone people, not even the light of a single candle lamp could be seen!
"What kind of lousy Sect is this?" Xiao Lingxi's suspicion reached its limit. She muttered to herself, "And he says he's not a liar!"
Even the usually steady Zhuge Feng couldn't help but waver inwardly at this moment. After all, no matter how you looked at this place, it didn't resemble what a proper Sect should look like in the slightest.
However, a smile appeared at the corner of Su Bai's mouth.
The moment his foot stepped into the Sect's territory, his Strength was already invincible!
In the blink of an eye, he vanished from the spot like a ghost.
The next moment, Su Bai actually appeared directly in front of the thatched cottage on the hill at an unbelievable speed!
"Shrinking the Ground into an Inch!"
Xiao Lingxi and Zhuge Feng both widened their eyes simultaneously. Their pupils slightly contracted due to extreme surprise, and their hearts were stirred by turbulent waves, making it difficult to calm down for a long time.
Shrinking the Ground into an Inch is not only a Sublime Method, but also a very powerful one. One needs to Cultivate to at least the Foundation Establishment Realm to learn it!
In other words, this seemingly incredibly young liar was actually a powerful Immortal Master!
"Aren't you coming to acknowledge your Master?"
On the hill, Su Bai stood with his hands behind his back and called out to Zhuge Feng.
Zhuge Feng came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his surging emotions. He jogged all the way up the hill.
In a short while, he reached the summit. He respectfully knelt down on both knees towards Su Bai, who was standing in front of the door, and solemnly kowtowed three times with loud thuds. He then said in a loud voice, "Disciple Zhuge Feng, greets Master!"

Su Bai nodded slightly, revealing a look of satisfaction on his face. He said slowly, "Get up. From now on, you are my eldest Disciple, Su Bai's Senior Brother of the Tiandao Sect."
At the same time, the System's voice echoed in his mind.
"Ding, task completed. Sect has been upgraded to one-star. One-star reward has been issued. Please check, Host."

The System's prompt sounded, and Su Bai felt a burst of excitement. It finally upgraded!
"Upgrade!"
Su Bai silently repeated it in his mind.
The next moment, the earth shook and the mountains swayed; the entire hill was changing.
Rumble...
The originally dilapidated thatched cottage disappeared in an instant, replaced by a majestic and tall palace, exuding a grand and imposing aura.
And directly above the palace, a plaque stood, inscribed with the three grand characters 'Tiandao Sect' in a magnificent Dragon and Phoenix script!
At the same time, not far from the main hall, a magnificent palace also appeared, inscribed with the three characters "Immortal Arts Pavilion".
The entire small hill more than doubled in size, and it was no longer so desolate, gaining a bit of spiritual charm.
These sudden scenes left both Zhuge Feng and Xiao Lingxi stunned. They stared at everything dumbfounded, their mouths wide open in surprise.
What did they just see?
Creating things out of thin air, changing the terrain!
If Shrinking the Ground into an Inch was still within the realm of understanding, then this kind of miraculous method was simply too unbelievable, completely transcending the mundane.
A Golden Core True Person?
Or a Nascent Soul old monster?
Or perhaps the legendary Spirit Transformation?
"Master is so powerful, many times stronger than Wang Executive!" Zhuge Feng thought to himself, while also being glad he chose to believe in his Master.
"Zhuge Feng, that is the Immortal Arts Pavilion. Go and choose a Sublime Method that is most suitable for you to Cultivate."
Su Bai instructed Zhuge Feng.
"Thank you, Master!" Zhuge Feng bowed again, then walked into the Immortal Arts Pavilion with an excited look on his face.
Can he finally access Sublime Methods?
He clenched his fists, filled with excitement!
And when he stepped into the Immortal Arts Pavilion, he was once again shocked by the scene before him.
Inside the entire Immortal Arts Pavilion, who knows how many Sublime Method scrolls were floating!
"Hiss..."
Even with Zhuge Feng's composure, he couldn't help but gasp at this moment, his heart pounding faster.
Such a scene was truly too shocking, making it difficult for him to calm down.
"Please place your hand on the stone platform in front."
A ethereal female voice suddenly sounded beside his ear.
"Who... who is speaking?"
Zhuge Feng suddenly shivered and looked around.
However, apart from the scrolls floating everywhere, no one could be found.
"I am the Guardian Spirit of the Immortal Arts Pavilion. There is no need to be afraid."
The ethereal female voice continued to echo in his ear, "According to the rules, every Disciple who newly joins our Tiandao Sect can choose one Sublime Method."
"If you want to choose yourself, you can pick any Sublime Method scroll. If you want me to choose for you, please place your hand on the stone tablet in front."
Hearing this, Zhuge Feng breathed a sigh of relief. So it was the Guardian Spirit.
"Please ask Guardian Spirit Senior to choose for me."
Zhuge Feng respectfully cupped his fists, bowed towards the stone platform in front of him, and then placed his hand on it.
He didn't understand Sublime Methods. For him, having a Sublime Method to Cultivate was enough. As for what Sublime Method it was, it didn't matter.
With so many Sublime Methods, he had no idea how to choose. Letting the Guardian Spirit choose for him was undoubtedly a better option.
"Your character is steady, neither arrogant nor impatient. This is the 《Dao Scripture・Qi Refining Chapter》, most suitable for your cultivation, and can lay a better foundation."
In an instant, the stone tablet lit up with dazzling yellow light, and a Sublime Method scroll slowly emerged.
"Thank you, Guardian Spirit Senior, for your appreciation. This Junior is infinitely grateful." Zhuge Feng was overjoyed. He held the Sublime Method scroll with both hands, bowed to the Guardian Spirit, and then withdrew.
Although he had long prepared himself mentally, when he actually picked up the yellow scroll in his hand, he still couldn't help but feel his heart surge with overwhelming excitement.
Is this the Sublime Method he had dreamed of?
