Because of the sudden surge in his cultivation level, his body couldn't adapt in time, and Qi Yu had been listless for the past few days. He only lazily hummed in greeting, "Venerable Yang Xi."
Venerable Yangxi had seen countless great figures, including several powerful beings at the Tribulation Transcending stage. For some reason, the languid girl in front of him gave him the same feeling as those great seniors.
It doesn't flaunt its power, yet it deeply moves people's souls.
Recalling the rumors circulating these past few days about the Flying Star Sect's ninety-nine devastating tribulation lightning bolts, Venerable Yangxi was somewhat shocked.
As a powerful elder of the Yunyang Sect, he had sent people to investigate which elder of the Feixing Sect had advanced to the Tribulation Transcendence stage, but they found no information whatsoever.
It's clear that the Flying Star Sect has blocked the news.
Upon seeing this Flying Star Sect disciple who had shone brightly in the sect competition, he was shocked, instinctively feeling that this was yet another Transcending Tribulation expert who had astonished the cultivation world.
But... how is that possible?!
Just a few days ago, Yu Shengyan was clearly only at the Golden Core stage. How come he has become a Tribulation Transcending expert in just a few days?!
Despite his shock, Venerable Yangxi still smiled kindly and led them into Yunyang City with ease.
"It seems like Yu Xiaoyou has become a completely different person since I last saw him."
"Really?" Qi Yu said casually, "Maybe they've been eating and sleeping all the time, living a life of too much enjoyment."
Venerable Yangxi: "..."
Xu Canglang, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore. After entering the residences arranged by Yunyang Sect for the elders of various sects, he pulled Venerable Yangxi away.
Qi Yu guessed that this was to tell Venerable Yang Xi that she was invited to watch the battle, so she didn't care and went straight to the courtyard where she used to live.
The team competition is about to begin in about an hour. The courtyard is quiet, and none of my fellow disciples are there. They must have already gone to the Martial Arts Hall.
Qi Yu looked around when a deep male voice suddenly came from behind her.
"...Xiaoyu?"
Qi Yu frowned and turned around, looking at the black-robed man who had appeared behind her without her noticing.
It was the black-robed stall owner who gave her the Xuan Yu sword last time.
Qi Yu raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "You know my name?"
The man's eyes were deep, as if he couldn't quite understand. "You...the one who underwent the tribulation at the Flying Star Sect, was that you?"
Qi Yu crossed his arms and asked leisurely, "How did you find out?"
“Xiaoyu… since that’s the case, I won’t worry about you being bullied anymore.” The man seemed relieved and said, “Last time we met in a hurry, and I didn’t explain my identity to you. Actually, I am…”
Before he could finish speaking, the girl in front of him stretched out a finger and waved it.
"I am somewhat familiar with the name of Sword Saint Qi Yanhui."
The man's eyes widened suddenly, and he said, "Xiaoyu, you know me..."
Qi Yu rolled her eyes and said, "You come out and immediately offer a sword and ask to call me 'father,' and you still have the ability to set up a stall around Yunyang City in disheveled clothes. Is it that hard to guess?"
The renowned swordsman Qi Yanhui was speechless at this moment.
As a carefree man who had ascended to heaven for hundreds of years before discovering he had a daughter, he hadn't figured out how to get along with her.
The main problem is a guilty conscience.
But to be honest, was he, a man who had decided to live a solitary life with his sword until the end, really ready to start raising a daughter?
Who would have thought that on the eve of his ascension, he would be drugged by a little demoness from Hundred Flowers Valley, losing his virginity and even bringing a new life into the picture.
It was only after he met a fortune teller in the celestial realm who was extremely skilled in divination and noticed that he still had worldly ties that he learned about this matter.
—Although the phrase "unfinished worldly ties" sounds lofty, the celestial realm here is not like the one described in storybooks, where there is some Jade Emperor or Queen Mother in charge. The celestial realm is a gathering place for cultivators from countless small worlds, and the order is chaotic, like a pile of loose sand. Today there is a fight here, tomorrow someone's house is destroyed there. In short, it is not ethereal and otherworldly at all.
So Qi Yanhui used a little trick to sneak away from the Immortal Realm to the Boundless Continent, intending to catch up with his daughter whom he had never met and see how to make up for his lack of fatherly love.
But they did come.
He has no idea what his daughter looks like!
Since the daughter had disappeared, the investigation would begin with the child's mother.
Qi Yan went to Hundred Flowers Valley.
Then I learned that the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley had passed away long ago, and I had never heard of her ever having a child.
Huh? They want to see the body? The Valley Master's body has been cremated!
Then Qi Yanhui was driven out by the enraged disciples of Hundred Flowers Valley.
And so the trail went cold.
Although the divination showed that the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley and his daughter were still connected to him by some threads of fate, indicating that they were still alive, he knew almost nothing about them and didn't even know how to find them.
Since he was already here, and Qi Yan was an immortal, as long as he didn't do anything reckless, his lifespan was guaranteed to be several thousand or even tens of thousands of years. So he started wandering around the Wuji Continent, hoping to find his daughter by chance.
During this time, he didn't find his daughter, but he did stumble upon many conspiracies. Because of his high level of cultivation, almost no one knew that he was watching with great interest.
So he's also a walking encyclopedia of gossip, with a head full of secrets about various ethnic groups.
With nothing else to do, he even returned to his old trade and made a sword for his daughter, whose fate was unknown—the kind that could be used to deliver his full-force attack and protect her in times of danger.
As he wandered along, one day, while buying fried dough sticks in a city, he suddenly overheard several disciples dressed in Taoist robes walking and talking about the "Sect Grand Competition".
A grand sect competition?
That sounds good.
Two or three hundred years have passed, and his daughter is still alive, so she must have entered the path of immortality and started cultivating immortality.
This martial arts tournament, which brings together most of the sects in the cultivation world, is simply the perfect opportunity to find my daughter!
So Qi Yan packed up and set off for Yunyang City.
He randomly found a spot in Yunyang City, placed the sword he had made in front of him, and began to wait patiently for his prey to come to him.
As luck would have it, on that day, he was dozing off out of boredom when he suddenly heard the voices of several people chatting.
And then came that sentence:
"Fellow Daoist, how much is your sword?"
That's right, this kind of soul-stirring feeling.
Qi Yan opened her eyes and stared intently at the unremarkable-looking girl.
In the eyes of the immortals, the girl's true appearance was completely revealed.
It was none other than the combination of that little demon girl from Hundred Flowers Valley and him!
His daughter has been found!
But on that day, whether it was the fear of returning home or the presence of others, he couldn't muster the courage to acknowledge her.
After that, he secretly hid behind the girl and sneaked into the martial arts hall. Watching the girl shine in the sect competition, he shed tears of emotion, like an old father.
Look, it's his daughter!
