After all, Zhou Qing is a real prodigy. If you compare yourself to him, he will definitely drive you to despair.
Afterward, the group rested here for the night and planned to return to the sect.
"Senior Brother He, be sure not to go down there!" Zhou Qing reminded again as they were about to leave.
He Han nodded, then looked at Zhou Qing with some suspicion: "Strange, when I came here a year ago, Uncle Mo also reminded me like this. Do you know something?"
Zhou Qing smiled but said nothing, keeping it vague.
If there really is something else down there, with He Hanās current cultivation, he might be in great danger.
Because there were too many people gathered around Spirit Skull Mountain, Zhou Qing and the othersā departure didnāt attract anyoneās attention.
And this time, everything went relatively smoothly, with not many bumps on the way back.
When Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu returned to Little Spirit Peak, Mo Xingjian immediately came out upon hearing the news.
"Master!" From afar, the two saw Mo Xingjianās figure, their eyes instantly moistening, and they knelt down with excitement.
Mo Xingjian, looking at the two who had been away for years, felt his eyes welling up with tears. His hands trembled slightly, and he quickly helped them up.
"Good, good, itās good to be back, good to be back." Mo Xingjian kept chanting.
His gaze quickly scanned over them, ensuring there were no injuries, and only then did his worried heart settle completely.
He didnāt ask for them to be outstanding, only hoped they could come back whole every time.
...
[Heart Mirror Points +9]
Upon learning that Zhou Qing had reached Divinity Transformation, Mo Xingjian was instantly stunned in the room, unable to come to his senses for a long time.
And the remark "Imposingly Mighty Disciple" above his head quietly changed to "Heavenly Gifted Disciple" at this moment.
Although he knew Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown was powerful, he never imagined it would be this terrifying.
In just a few years, Zhou Qing had jumped three stages, and with his understanding of realms, it seemed that Spirit Severing Realm would only be a stepping stone for him in the future.
At this moment, Mo Xingjian really did not know what words to use to describe his feelings, so he could only pat Zhou Qingās shoulder full of pride.
Everything was understood without words.
Zhou Qing also gave a sincere smile.
No matter how much cunning and wariness he used while roaming outside, in front of Mo Xingjian, he always longed to be that youngest disciple who never grew up.
"Master, Iāve made a breakthrough too!" Seeing this scene, Yan Xiaohu spoke softly.
In future days, the eldest would roam the world with his friends, the second sister would marry a prince, and the fourth, well, no need to mention.
While his talent for Earth Vein Foundation Establishment determined that he would most likely hover around Divinity Transformation Realm in the future, perhaps the responsibility of taking care of their master in old age would fall on his shoulders.
Hearing the voice, Mo Xingjian immediately turned his head to look at Yan Xiaohu, his eyes full of comfort, and loudly praised: "Well done!"
Then, Mo Xingjian stood up, waved his hand at the two, and said loudly: "Letās go to the Jade Dining Hall! Iāll welcome you back with a feast. Having been away for so many years, you must have been missing home-cooked meals."
The two immediately smiled and nodded repeatedly.
Before they could go down the mountain, Sect Leader Cao Zhengyang appeared with his hands behind his back.
His gaze fell on Zhou Qing at once, and when he confirmed the child had indeed broken through to Divinity Transformation Realm, his originally stern face broke into a broad smile.
Such a terrifying rate of progress, perhaps one day, Taiqing Sect might indeed produce a Spirit Severing cultivator.
At this moment, he was even more certain of Zhou Qingās position as the future Sect Leader.
"Greetings, Martial Uncle!" The two quickly and respectfully saluted upon seeing him.
Cao Zhengyang quickly helped them up, his face full of kindness: "The Jade Dining Hall is already prepared. The Peak Masters and Core Disciples of all the peaks are waiting for you."
The two were a bit overwhelmed with surprise upon hearing this.
Yan Xiaohu quickly said, "Martial Uncle, isnāt this too grand? Itās making us feel a bit embarrassed."
Cao Zhengyang waved his hand, laughing heartily: "No worries, after all, Zhou Qing is back, and he broke through to Divinity Transformation. This is a big event for our Taiqing Sect."
Yan Xiaohu: "..."
I was simply asking.
Zhou Qing quickly said, "Martial Uncle, thereās no need for such a big show. Itās not like I did anything major."
"Youāre worth it!" Cao Zhengyang looked at Zhou Qing earnestly.
He then glanced at Mo Xingjian, who looked quite smug, and said: "Why are you still standing there? Letās go, and thereās a surprise too."
Mo Xingjianās expression changed slightly, seemingly thinking of something, and immediately said: "I advise you to be kind."
"Donāt worry, now the various forces, big and small, in the Eastern Domain, have all heard of our Taiqing Sectās genius Zhou Qing. Keeping him hidden like this is a form of restraint for him!"
Cao Zhengyang didnāt say more, leading a group of people straight to the Jade Dining Hall.
...
When Zhou Qing and the others arrived, the Thirteen Peaks of Taiqing Sect had already all gathered, waiting for them.
Many Hall Masters and Directors were here, and even Supreme Elder Duanmu Shu had come.
The Core Disciples of each peak stood behind their respective masters, their faces full of envy.
As the group descended, Cao Zhengyang intentionally slowed a step, letting Zhou Qing walk at the forefront.
He even gently pulled back Yan Xiaohu, who was about to step forward proudly.
In everyoneās eyes, Zhou Qing was no longer that naive boy who had just entered Taiqing Sect.
In the battle of the Five Sects, he slew the five prodigies of Cangyan Daoist Palace in one go, becoming famous in a single battle.
In the Canglan Mountain battle, he handed over the Spirit Severing Realm treasure, helping the sect break the array and resolve the life-and-death crisis.
Moreover, with his expertise in arrays, he keenly detected the Four-Color Killing Array laid by Cangyan Daoist Palace, allowing the sect to prepare in advance and avoid significant losses.
