Qin Feng and the others followed Deng Tianning to the back mountain with curiosity.

They saw a quiet little courtyard, the residence built this week.

Zhou Jian had already prepared tea and was waiting for them with a smile. "You're here, everyone. Please make yourselves at home and try my freshly made tea."

Qin Feng said, "Ancestor Zhou certainly has a refined taste."

Then he unceremoniously found a seat and sat down, and the others followed suit.

Qin Feng has tasted many kinds of wine, but he has never actually drunk tea.

He looked at the golden, clear tea soup in front of him, still steaming, obviously freshly brewed, picked up the teacup, and began to savor it.

Seeing this, Leng Yuexi and the others also picked up their teacups.

Zhou Jian looked at them expectantly, "This is tea that I made myself. What do you think, Qin Feng? You tell me first."

Qin Feng smiled wryly. He didn't know anything about tea, so he could only tell the truth.

"Mr. Zhou, I don't know much about tea, so I don't know if this is good or bad. I can only share my personal feelings."

I find this tea quite interesting. Even before tasting it, a delicate aroma fills the air. The initial taste is refreshing, followed by a bittersweet aftertaste, and finally a sweet finish – it has a truly unique flavor.

Zhou Jian slapped his thigh and praised:

"That's right, you're absolutely right. My tea is called 'Life's Hundred Flavors,' a cup of tea that has both bitterness and sweetness."

Just like us cultivators seeking the Dao, there are always bitter and sweet experiences; only we ourselves know the full spectrum of emotions. This trip to the Palace of Ultimate Bliss has given me an even deeper understanding.

Everyone present seemed to be deep in thought.

Qin Feng said, "Ancestor Zhou's insight is profound."

He then steered the conversation back to the main topic, "I just heard from Elder Deng that you wanted to see me?"

Zhou Jian nodded, his smile fading as he looked serious. "Yes, I do have something to discuss with you."

Qin Feng looked at Zhou Jian, "Oh? What's the matter?"

Zhou Jian slowly said:

"You should have a sense of the current situation in Yizhou. With the fall of several powerful kings after the trip to the Palace of Bliss, the situation has become chaotic and full of all sorts of people."

What are your thoughts on this? Although you are a guest elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect, this is not a constraint on you. If you wish to establish your own power, we will fully support you.”

Yin Tiantian and Xiao Fan's eyes lit up as they looked at Qin Feng with curiosity.

Qin Feng shook his head decisively.

"I'm not thinking about that right now. As long as these people don't mess with me, I'll let them fight it out. Is this what Ancestor Zhou wanted to tell me?"

Zhou Jian shook his head. "Not really. I just saw the current chaotic situation and wanted to ask for your opinion."

To be honest, our Heavenly Sword Sect's focus is no longer on the Southern Region.

Qin Feng was not surprised and said naturally, "Your attention should be on the Central Plains, or rather, the Holy Domain."

Zhou Jian and Deng Tianning were quite surprised, and they both asked at the same time, "How did you know?"

Qin Feng naturally wouldn't betray Zhang Kaicheng, so he made up an excuse, "I guessed."

Deng Tianning looked at him suspiciously, "Really? You could even guess that?"

Qin Feng, without blushing or skipping a beat, calmly and methodically analyzed:

"The situation in Yizhou is so chaotic right now, and you have no intention of getting involved, so it's clear that your ambitions lie elsewhere. The only place I can think of is the Holy Domain."

Zhou Jian nodded, looking at Qin Feng with admiration, "You are indeed remarkable."

Qin Feng continued, "Could it be that Ancestor Zhou wants to talk to me about the Holy Domain?"

Zhou Jian nodded.

"That's right. To be honest, I have a senior brother who left the Southern Region many years ago. We want to establish a new Heavenly Sword Sect in the Holy Domain."

This plan wasn't a spur-of-the-moment thing; it's been around for a long time, and now they've even chosen the location in the Sanctuary.

We plan to select a group of elite disciples, whom we will personally lead, to the Holy Land.

Qin Feng nodded. He had heard Zhang Kaicheng, the Carefree True Monarch, mention this plan before, so he wasn't surprised.

"So, what does Ancestor Zhou mean?"

Old Zhou looked at Qin Feng and the others expectantly.

“You are all geniuses and elders of our Heavenly Sword Sect. I would like to ask if you would be willing to go to the Holy Domain with us. With your participation, things will definitely go much more smoothly.”

Qin Feng glanced at his companions and got straight to the point:

"Actually, the reason we came to the Heavenly Sword Sect this time is to discuss matters concerning the Holy Domain with you."

Now is the perfect time. Xiao Fan and Yin Tiantian should be going with you. As for Yue Xi, it's up to her.

It depends on the situation. If I have enough time, I'll go with you, but it's not certain yet.

When are you planning to leave?

Zhou Jian said with a mix of emotion and anticipation:

"Originally, according to our plan, we would have to prepare for another five or six years before setting off."

This trip to the Palace of Bliss has cost us some of our elite disciples, so we're thinking of making more thorough preparations.

However, not long ago, my senior brother sent me a message saying that the situation had changed and he wanted me to rush to the Holy Realm as soon as possible.

Qin Feng became interested upon hearing this. "Why is that? Can you tell us?"

Zhou Jian chuckled and replied:

"There's nothing that can't be said. My senior brother was a bit vague, but the gist of it was that there's a rare opportunity right now."

If we can make it in time, it will greatly help us establish ourselves in the Sanctuary. I hope we can get there as soon as possible; I plan to set off in six months to a year.

Qin Feng nodded. "Six months to a year? I don't know if that's enough time. How will you get there? Through a teleportation array? Or will you just fly there?"

Zhou Jian looked bitter and explained:
