After landing with the giant sword, the young man first bowed to everyone, then stood respectfully beside the old man.

"Master, we've arrived."

After the old man lowered the giant sword, the young man made no move. In an instant, the giant sword shrank to the size of an embroidery needle, a flash of cold light, and quickly disappeared into his hair, as if it had always been there.

"This is another opponent of yours. This man is Zhao Feng. He is the first third-generation disciple that my Yunxiao Palace has taken in since its appearance in the world. This master and disciple are mainly skilled in swordsmanship, and their attack power is unpredictable."

"Speaking of which, you and Lin Feng are somewhat similar. You both have the character 'Feng' in your names, and you are both sword cultivators. Don't underestimate him. He is obsessed with the sword, and his sword cultivation is purer than yours!"

Lin Feng and Ouyang He secretly made a note of it.

Not long after, another loud bang came from afar. Two figures were moving at extremely high speed and were about to crash into the mountaintop in the blink of an eye. But just as they were about to make contact with the ground, the two figures froze in mid-air, three feet off the ground.

When everyone looked again, they saw a middle-aged man exuding an aura of dominance, and a young man behind him dressed in brocade robes. It was none other than Xiong Ba and his disciple Murong Hao.

"Xiong Ba greets fellow Daoists."

She glanced around, her gaze settling on Nie Feng. A hint of guilt flashed across her face as she pulled Murong Hao aside to sit down.

Having followed Xiong Ba for many years, Murong Hao had a deep understanding of his master. Moreover, his cultivation level was now quite high, and he noticed that his master's expression had been somewhat unnatural just now.

He looked at the spot where Xiong Ba's gaze had lingered, comparing it to the figure he had imagined. His eyes gradually brightened, and just as he sat down, he actually stood up and quickly walked to Nie Feng.

He knelt down with a deep bow.

"Third-generation disciple Murong Hao greets Elder Nie. I hope Elder Nie's cultivation will continue to improve and that he will live as long as the heavens. When I first ventured into the martial world, I could not find Elder Nie's whereabouts. I have only met him today. I am guilty of this and hope that Elder Nie will punish me."

Nie Feng watched as the young man, who could be called his junior brother, bowed deeply and showed him the respect due to a junior. He knew what it meant and was quite moved.

He wasn't a petty person, and he wouldn't vent his resentment on a junior.

"Get up, thank you for your kindness."

Upon seeing this, Murong Hao was immediately overjoyed, knowing that his former senior brother had accepted him. Regardless of what his master thought, he immediately showered Nie Feng with concern and the two had a warm conversation.

"This man is called Murong Hao, the third prince of the Longyuan Empire. His master is Xiong Ba."

"Xiong Ba!"

Ouyang He and Lin Feng never expected that Xiong Ba, the martial arts leader of the Longyuan Empire, was also a member of the Yunxiao Palace.

Unlike the other elders of Yunxiao Palace who remained unknown, Xiong Ba's reputation for benevolence and righteousness spread throughout Qingxuan, and everyone admired him.

"Murong Hao has been forced into a situation similar to yours by Xiong Ba. I've heard that in the past ten years, Murong Hao has never left Xiong Ba's sight, and even sleeping has become a luxury!"

Hearing this, the two felt much better. After all, they could accept being stared at by their beautiful master, but they probably wouldn't have been able to stand being stared at by an old man for ten years. They immediately began to admire Murong Hao!

As the group sighed in amazement, a loud laugh echoed from the sky.

"Hahaha, I thought I was early enough, but I didn't expect you all to arrive before me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them stood on the platform.

"Greetings, Elder Youquan."

Everyone bowed to Youquan, but on the surface they showed no respect. Youquan had achieved his success through Meng Fan's teachings, which they considered to be just good luck. They thought they could do the same.

They were all elders, but Youquan had indeed achieved the body of a demon, which was on the same level as the immortal path, thus making him an invisible level above them.

The visitors were none other than Youquan Pangban and their disciple Mu Ying.

That's right, their disciple is Mu Ying, the former Supreme Elder of the Xuan Yin Sect, an old monster who has lived for countless years!

"Let me introduce you all. This is Mu Ying, my apprentice with Pang Ban."

"Mu Ying, come and pay your respects to the elders!"

Mu Ying's childlike appearance has changed somewhat over the years. He has grown much taller and looks about fourteen or fifteen years old. Hearing You Quan's words, he stepped forward somewhat nervously and said, "Junior Mu Ying greets all elders. May all elders' immortal path last forever and shine as brightly as the sun."

No one paid any attention to Mu Ying. Although they were dissatisfied, they did not show it and all remained silent.

Mu Ying smiled awkwardly and quickly returned to Youquan's back, afraid that these terrifying elders would slap him to death!

Youquan didn't care about the crowd's attitude and grinned, "You don't need to be envious. If you all had such a fine disciple, this competition would be much more exciting!"

The crowd remained silent, their silence conveying the message that they had already shown you enough respect by paying their respects, and that you were shameless for taking a master who was already at the Heavenly Realm as your disciple!

Youquan's pride vanished the moment Meng Fan began his teachings; as long as he could win, he didn't care about anything else!

Just as Youquan was feeling smug, a sharp shout sent him flying three meters away. Shocked, he knew who had come from.

Suddenly, a black-bearded Taoist appeared out of thin air on the platform. He was surrounded by immortal energy and had the air of a god. He was much more impressive than Youquan.

"We have come to greet Elder Huli!"

The newcomer was none other than Tiger Power Immortal. He raised his arm, and the platform was filled with celestial energy, adding to the artistic conception.

"May you all attain immortality soon and share in the beauty of this place."

After saying that, he turned to Youquan and said, "Youquan, now that you have attained immortality, you should give the opportunity to others. If you fight for everything, you will eventually lose everything."

These words struck a chord with everyone, but they didn't agree just to save Youquan's face.

"Hmph, Tiger Power, it would be foolish not to seize the opportunity when it's right in front of them. Aren't they the same? They all seek out disciples to teach them personally, wishing they could impart all their skills to them at once, but they're too stupid. They insist on finding someone with low cultivation to teach them. They can't think outside the box. I'm different. I can take anyone I want, so why not take someone with a high starting point?"

Youquan had no choice; his demonic followers were all misfits, and he couldn't find any good candidates except for Mu Ying.

"Youquan, do you really think you can win first place in the disciple competition just because of him? You're too naive!"

What are you going to do?

Hu Li drew a circle with his right hand, and a barrier space appeared before them. When everyone looked inside, they saw towering mountains and fragrant flowers, which surprised You Quan.

"This is the Technique of the Heavenly Vessel. Have you successfully mastered it?"

The Lesser Heaven Technique was modified by Meng Fan from the Pot Heaven Technique. This is because the Pot Heaven Technique is extremely difficult to cultivate, requiring at least the cultivation level of an immortal. However, once successfully cultivated, the Pot Heaven Technique can not only open up a small world to store living things, but also comprehend various offensive techniques, and even use the small world to nourish oneself, which is quite amazing!

"Hmph, I, Tiger Power, have long since achieved immortality; the methods I've used are beyond your comprehension."

He glanced at Youquan with disdain and shouted, "Come out!"

A giant hand emerged from the spatial barrier and swiftly passed through the space.

When Jiang Mu saw the newcomer, he was somewhat incredulous and exclaimed, "Ya Du?"
