Chapter 591: Chapter 414: Great River Sword Intent? Xu Yang Takes Another Apprentice!
Master Yimei asked, “I heard that Celestial Master Xu killed a Netherworld Demon when he returned from overseas?”
“I just happened to encounter it, so I killed it.”
Xu Yang said, “Netherworld Demons are the most evil, wicked, and filthy creatures in the world, representing slaughter, destruction, and cataclysm. It is the responsibility of all people to eliminate them. Since I encountered one, how could I spare it?”
Master Yimei was filled with admiration.
He first heard of Xu Yang four months ago.
At that time, Xu Yang had shone brightly at the “Daoist Skills Summit”, winning the championship in the Qi Refining group and demonstrating unparalleled talent in the field of talisman arts. Master Yimei had instructed his disciples to gather information about Xu Yang. When he learned that Xu Yang was the grandson of Supreme Sage Qingxu and the heir to the Jingming Sect, Master Yimei was filled with regret.
He thought that such a Daoist genius…
Would likely have a premature end!
Not just Master Yimei.
In fact, many experts were paying attention to Xu Yang at that time.
They were all aware of the struggle for the Daoist heritage between the Jingming Sect and the Lu Shan Sect and the grievances between these “two branches of one sect”. No one held high hopes for Xu Yang, believing that he would certainly die at the hands of the Lu Shan Sect!
However, the subsequent developments went beyond everyone’s imagination.
Xu Yang rose to prominence at an unorthodox speed, acquiring the strength to confront the Lu Shan Sect, which had a thousand years of heritage, in a very short period. He even inflicted heavy losses on the Lu Shan Sect…
Until, he annihilated the Lu Shan Sect!
After that, Xu Yang succeeded as the Celestial Master, becoming the first Alliance Leader of the Martial Arts in Da Xia martial world in six hundred years, his status even higher than Master Yimei’s own.
So after settling the Maoshan Sect disciples in the “Sword Aura Grand Canyon”, Master Yimei came to Wu City as soon as he could to visit Xu Yang.
Liu Shishi was very understanding and brewed a pot of fine tea to serve.
Xu Yang stood up to receive the teapot and poured tea for Master Yimei, laughing, “This tea was given to me by Lord Cui when I went to Fengdu City last time. He said it was picked from immortal tea trees in the Heavenly Court, and it aids in enlightenment. Master, give it a try.”
Master Yimei’s eyes lit up.
He took the teacup and took a sip.
He felt a fragrant tea scent permeate his taste buds and spread throughout his mouth.
The unique aroma made his mind clear, his thoughts expanding, and his entire being seemed to merge with heaven and earth, revealing a mysterious aura about him.
“Huh?”
Long Xiaoxue, who was just fetching drinks from the refrigerator, looked back and exclaimed in surprise, “This old Daoist has exceptional perception. He’s about to break through!”
Master Yimei was at the peak of the Spirit Refining Realm.
If he were to break through now, he would become a Daoist True Monarch.
Xu Yang immediately used his divine power to set up several layers of formation around Master Yimei, fearing that the commotion from his breakthrough might ruin his villa.
Then he said to Liu Shishi and Yun Mengxi, “My dear wives, I have to trouble you again to prepare more food, as there might be more guests coming to visit later.”
Since his creation of the “sacred land of the sword” was already known, all the powerful figures in the martial world would not let this opportunity pass.
All practitioners of the martial arts, including the vast majority of Daoists, were versed in swordsmanship to some extent.
How could these people miss this chance?
Not to mention the ordinary martial artists, the experts from various forces that had come to Wu City would naturally visit Xu Yang, the current Alliance Leader of the Martial Arts.
Long Xiaoxue, who had fetched her drink and was about to go upstairs, heard about cooking and her eyes brightened. She hopped towards the kitchen, saying, “Elder Sister Yun, Elder Sister Shishi, let me help too!”
“No!”
Xu Yang was alarmed and quickly grabbed Long Xiaoxue, saying, “Big sister, just stay out of it… If you have nothing to do, why don’t you clean the house instead?”
Long Xiaoxue’s last attempt at cooking nearly demolished the villa, so Xu Yang was unwilling to let her enter the kitchen again.
“Clean the house?”
Long Xiaoxue said arrogantly, “Such a trivial matter, why do I need to do it myself?”
She waved her hand, water-based Daoist charm emanating from her body. A deep blue water light flashed through the villa, and everything in it was instantly refreshed.
In a short while,
Wang Hou arrived.
As he walked in, he saw Master Yimei and looked surprised, “How come this old chap is having an epiphany in your house?”
Xu Yang didn’t hide anything, telling the truth, “It’s the result of drinking immortal tea… But it’s mainly because of Master Yimei’s own profound foundation and accumulation for a breakthrough.”
Hearing the words “immortal tea”, Wang Hou was immediately interested and wanted to taste it.
He poured himself a full cup, drank it in a large gulp, closed his eyes for a moment, then said, “This tea is indeed good, but… It doesn’t seem to have much effect on me.”
Xu Yang couldn’t help but laugh, saying, “In the Heavenly Court, this immortal tea is just the daily drink of the Immortal Beings. Although it has some effect in assisting enlightenment, this effect is weaker for stronger individuals. Minister Wang, you are the number one expert in Da Xia, and your understanding of the Dao has probably reached the peak of what mortals can achieve. Naturally, a cup of immortal tea would be of no use to you.”
“Screw being the number one expert in Da Xia!”
Wang Hou grumbled and cursed, “If you ever bring that up again, I’ll get angry with you… I don’t know about others, but at least now, if I were to fight you, I wouldn’t have the certainty of winning. I saw that Sword Aura Grand Canyon you created, and I was surprised that your mastery of swordsmanship has reached such a level. I’m afraid that just relying on martial arts alone, you could suppress most Land Immortals.”
