Chapter 425 The Great Sage Yishan: Could it be that Xiao Chen can defy and slay a Great Sage?
"The dean must be talking about the matter of the Saint-grade Spirit Vein, right?"
Chu Feng asked with a smiling expression.
"You brat…"
The dean had prepared a whole string of words, but when Chu Feng said this, he suddenly did not know what to say.
Chu Feng turned his head toward Cao Youqian and said, "Da Qian, since the Saint-grade Spirit Vein was obtained by you, the Holy Son, why don't you tell us what should be done?"
Cao Youqian revealed a thoughtful look, slowly raising two fingers, which gave others the impression that he was mocking them.
"Two layers. I can give two layers of this Saint Vein to the academy. After all, I grew up in Wendao Academy. But all the arrangements and work related to the vein must be handled by the academy."
The dean frowned slightly. "Two layers are too little. At least four layers."
"Deal."
Cao Youqian agreed without hesitation.
This made the dean feel as if he had lost out heavily, but since the words had already been spoken, he naturally could not take them back.
"Good, it is settled then. Within three months, I will send people to arrange the Saint-grade Spirit Vein."
"Thank you for making the trip, dean. Why not stay and have a few cups of wine today?"
Chu Feng said politely.
The dean refused without a second thought. "No need, I still have matters to attend to."
The two immediately stood up together and said in unison, "We respectfully send off the dean."
Watching the dean's departing back, Chu Feng gave a thumbs up to Cao Youqian. "This matter, you handled well."
Cao Youqian smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise, master."
With the division of the Saint Vein decided, the disciples of Wendao Academy's Formation Institute began to busy themselves.
Under the guidance of the academy's Second Elder of the Internal Affairs Hall, the transplantation of the Saint Vein was carried out smoothly.
Chu Feng, as always, remained relaxed. That day, while he was reading under the sun in his courtyard, that familiar mechanical voice sounded again in his mind.
"Disciple Chu Caiyi has broken through to the Spirit Nurturing Realm. Her Destruction Dao Truth has reached perfection. Rewarding host with fifty years of cultivation and plus seventeen Great Dao truths."
Chu Feng slowly put down the book in his hand, thinking: Caiyi has also encountered her own fortuitous chance. But why have Qin'er and the others not had any gains?
Thousands of miles away.
Chu Caiyi slowly walked out from within the underground palace. Qin Qin and the others, who were cultivating, opened their eyes upon hearing the sound.
"Junior sister Caiyi, you broke through?"
Qin Qin was the first to go forward.
Chu Caiyi nodded. "Inside that underground palace, I gained something and broke through one realm. By the way, these are treasures I obtained from within. I have prepared a share for each of you."
After breaking through, she immediately searched for treasures within the underground palace.
The Moon Demon dared not hide anything and brought her directly into the treasure vault. She took one-third from it, instructed the Moon Demon and the others to guard the palace well, and then walked out.
"Thank you, junior sister Chu."
Everyone accepted the gifts one by one.
Finally, Chu Caiyi walked up to Bing Yan and handed her a box. "Master's wife, this is a treasure this disciple prepared for you. I hope you will accept it."
"You are thoughtful, Caiyi."
Bing Yan did not refuse, casually placing the box into her storage ring. She continued, "Now that this matter is concluded, it is time for us to return to Wendao Academy."
"Yes!"
Everyone responded and then left the underground palace together, returning to Wendao Academy.
At the same time.
By the shores of the Eastern Sea.
The aura on Xiao Chen's body was rising continuously. Seeing this, the Great Sage Yishan waved his hand, shielding the aura to prevent others from being disturbed.
Seven days later, Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes, his entire being resembling an unstoppable sharp sword. Even the nearby Great Sage Yishan, who was guarding him, sensed a dangerous aura.
Great Sage Yishan instinctively glanced at Xiao Chen, feeling the terrifying Dao Truth of the sword path emanating from him. He thought to himself: Could it be that this boy Xiao Chen can now challenge and defeat a Great Sage across ranks?
With curiosity, he asked, "Martial Nephew, how much of the Dao Truth of the Great Path did you comprehend during this seclusion?"
Xiao Chen replied slowly, "To be honest with Martial Uncle, I comprehended three points of the Dao Truth of the sword path during this seclusion. The Sword Demon is indeed a formidable figure of his generation, and I have gained much from his sword intent."
Hiss…
Great Sage Yishan instinctively drew in a sharp breath. "Your words sting a bit, young man. Even I would have to think twice before facing you now."
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Martial Uncle, you flatter me. If you were to make a move, I absolutely wouldn't fight back."
"You sure know how to talk."
Great Sage Yishan thought to himself: You might as well not try to comfort me.
Xiao Chen casually took out a storage ring and said, "Martial Uncle, you've worked hard to protect me over the years. I don't have much to offer, but please pick a share of the Sword Demon's treasures first."
"This… how could I possibly accept?"
Great Sage Yishan said this, but his gaze couldn't help lingering on the storage ring in Xiao Chen's hand.
"Martial Uncle, if you don't choose, I'll just pick one for you."
Xiao Chen said with a cheerful smile.
"Ahem, do as you please."
Great Sage Yishan still couldn't bring himself to lose face.
Xiao Chen then stuffed a storage ring into his hand.
"Thank you, Martial Nephew Xiao."
Great Sage Yishan said with a beaming smile.
Xiao Chen asked, "Martial Uncle, where are Yue'er and my two martial sisters?"
Great Sage Yishan replied, "They're outside guiding disciples in their cultivation. Since you've broken through, let's go join them."
"Alright, we've been out here for so long, it's time to return to the Academy of Inquiry."
As Xiao Chen spoke, he walked down the hill. Soon after, he found Liu Yue'er and the others. He gave each of the three women a storage ring containing the Sword Demon's treasures, then selected one from the remaining six storage rings and distributed its contents to Ximen Ye and others.
…
On Miao Miao Mountains.
The sunlight was just right, and Chu Feng, napping on a rattan chair, was awakened by a mechanical voice in his mind.
"Host's disciple Xiao Chen has broken through to the second layer of Nirvana and comprehended three points of the Dao Truth of the sword path. Host is rewarded with one hundred years of cultivation and thirty points of the Dao Truth of the Great Path."
Hmm…
Chu Feng couldn't stay calm and abruptly stood up from the rattan chair, thinking to himself: Xiao Chen is indeed my top disciple. Even when hunting the Child of Destiny, his gains are greater than others'.
With this, his Dao Truth of the Great Path had reached five hundred thirty points, and the day of achieving sainthood was not far off.
Now he was beginning to look forward to everyone returning and sharing their experiences of hunting the Child of Destiny.
As the saying goes, what you wish for comes true. Chu Feng's peripheral vision suddenly caught a figure rapidly approaching from the horizon.
Before the figure landed, Chu Feng saw that it was Jinchi, carrying everyone with its claws as if they were chicks, flying toward Miao Miao Mountains.
Just as they neared Miao Miao Mountains, Great Sage Golden Wings released its grip.
Everyone used their techniques to land safely on the ground.
Seeing this, Chu Feng couldn't help but ask, "Are you all experiencing the speed of Martial Uncle Golden Wings?"
At these words, everyone's expressions froze…
