However, the Mahayana realm is still the Mahayana realm.

With the sword cultivator's attack power, he made up for the shortcoming of his cultivation level. In the future, no matter what happens, he will at least have the strength to fight.

This is definitely a cause for celebration.

Ye Feng is not one to hide his true feelings.

So there's nothing particularly rare here.

At this point, the only hard currency available is the whetstone.

Five compressed Supreme Sharpening Stones per person are enough to make the two of them grin from ear to ear.

Neither of them had actually undergone tribulation yet; however, at this point, undergoing tribulation was a piece of cake for the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

So before they even survived the tribulation, Yun Zhongzi wanted to prepare a celebration banquet for the two of them.

The two were cautious and did not let the improvement in their cultivation level go to their heads.

Jian Chen said, "It's better not to hold this celebration banquet. Not to mention that the two of us have not truly advanced yet, even if we had, it would have consumed the sect's resources. There is really no need to be extravagant."

Ye Feng laughed and said, "Uncle, you're just slapping me in the face. It's just a few simple dishes, how can you say it's a waste of resources? But what you said is right, since we haven't really advanced yet. Let's hold this celebration banquet after you and Senior Sister have overcome the Tribulation Demon."

There are plenty of things on Earth that are celebrated in advance but ultimately end in tragedy. Sometimes, it's best to be mindful of certain things and exercise caution where necessary.

Wu Qiuyu had no intention of celebrating in advance.

He chimed in, "Sect Leader, I think Uncle and Junior Brother are right. It's not too late to celebrate after we've truly overcome our tribulation."

Yun Zhongzi mentioned it casually, and didn't seem to mind being disobeyed.

He shrugged and said, "Then we'll do it your way. It's just that you've gone ahead of me, and I, as the sect leader, am quite jealous. Especially you, Qiuyu, you joined the mountain hundreds of years later than me. It's truly shameful."

Wu Qiuyu laughed heartily: "Senior brother, what are you saying? I just happened to be there and got another benefit from junior brother. If you put in a little more effort and pry at him, you might be able to see that wall too."

In an instant, everyone's eyes in the hall were once again fixed on Ye Feng.

This made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

His eyes were so intensely fervent, like a big bad wolf that hadn't eaten for three days suddenly spotting a little white rabbit.

Even if the little white rabbit was actually a Bai Ze divine beast in disguise, these people still wanted to pounce on it and pet it.

Who made this little white rabbit drop treasure?

Ye Feng said helplessly, "If I really had something good, would I hide it away?"

Yun Zhongzi laughed and said, "I know Junior Brother. Whenever there is something good, his first thought is to improve the strength of the sect. In fact, the position of sect leader is more suitable for Junior Brother."

!?

Ye Feng immediately looked up at Yun Zhongzi.

What they saw was Yun Zhongzi's eyes, full of expectation and trust.

I will never become the sect leader, not in this lifetime.

Ye Feng directly refused, saying, "I'm used to being lazy, how could I be more suitable than Senior Brother Yun? Besides, I'm currently researching a new dish, and I believe that once I make it, it will greatly improve the disciples' strength."

Yun Zhongzi's eyes lit up.

Although those sea cockroaches are a bit ugly to look at, their effects are absolutely amazing.

If he were given the same food a few more times, he would probably have a chance to see that wall.

but……

Yun Zhongzi glanced at Ye Feng with considerable caution.

His lips moved slightly, but no sound came out.

Ye Feng responded with a look that said, "You guessed right, you really understand me," and Yun Zhongzi immediately gave a wry smile.

This junior brother is such a jerk!

This is clearly an attempt to make me a shill again, it's infuriating.

Jian Chen and Wu Qiuyu were suddenly taken aback.

The two exchanged a glance, clearly having noticed the same thing.

That is—the Demon of Calamity is coming!

In the past, after breaking through a realm, the Tribulation Demon would usually arrive in about half a month to a month. Unexpectedly, this time it came impatiently right after the breakthrough.

As a result, the two of them didn't even have time to return to their cave.

However, it doesn't really matter, since the battle with the Tribulation Demon takes place in a special space, the location of the person undergoing tribulation will not affect the outcome in the slightest.

Without a word, the two of them sat cross-legged on the ground.

Yun Zhongzi and Ye Feng had obviously noticed something amiss and quickly emptied the main hall.

Just as everyone was retreating, a mysterious power quietly descended.

As soon as Jian Chen opened his eyes, he saw a demon dressed in black, indistinguishable from a human, standing in front of him.

The demon looked to be in his early twenties, with a ruddy and fair complexion. If one did not know his identity, one would think he was a human boy, or rather, a handsome man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes.

However, this Calamity Demon did not possess the physical characteristics of previous Calamity Demons, making it impossible for Jian Chen to discern its cultivation level and strength.

The demon did not rush to make a move. With his hands behind his back, his clothes moved without wind, making him appear quite otherworldly.

The Demon Lord said loudly, "I am the Vice Dean of the Demon Lord Advanced Academy. You may call me Liu Wuyai. What is your name?"

Jian Chen was too lazy to waste words with him.

You came to stop me from undergoing my tribulation, and you're still arguing and making excuses at me. Who knows if this is one of your schemes?

After I kill you, don't even mention introducing yourself; we can have a long talk by candlelight.

With a flick of his wrist, Jian Chen unleashed a rain of swords that filled the sky.

Liu Wuyai retreated, saying as he did so, "Why did you start fighting right away? Wouldn't it be better to sit down and chat? You'll advance when the time is up, which will save you and me trouble."

Jian Chen heard what he said, but still did not reply.

The sword in his hand moved even faster and more swiftly.

He has decided not to say a word today.

This grandson has been trying to get him to speak ever since he arrived; he's already convinced that this demon has no good intentions.

Liu Wuyai's retreat was not as fast as Jian Ying's.

Even though there was some distance at first, the flying sword was so fast that it was already right in front of them in the blink of an eye.

Liu Wuyai, who had been hiding his right hand behind his back, finally stretched out his right hand and waved both palms to resist the attack of the flying sword.

Jian Chen was already close, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

I am invincible within three feet of you. Once you get close, you'll be my experience points!

Liu Wuyai was like a chatterbox.

Despite being overwhelmed by Jian Chen's attacks, he kept talking nonstop.

"You humans have an old saying that a gentleman uses words, not fists. You came up with a fist right away, which is ungentlemanly."

"Let's talk this out. I really didn't come here to do anything to you. Wouldn't it be nice if we sat down, chatted, and had a few drinks?"
