After saying that, he quickened his pace and hurried toward the village.
Before long, Yuan Zhexian arrived at the village safely.
Upon entering the village, he unhesitatingly released all the children he had previously stored within his consciousness.
When the villagers saw the children appear before them safe and sound, they were all extremely excited, their eyes reddening, their hearts filled with joy and gratitude.
They never imagined they would see these lovely children again in their lifetime.
Immediately afterwards, many villagers knelt down and kowtowed to Yuan Zhexian in sincere gratitude, repeatedly expressing their deep respect and thanks to this benefactor.
Yuan Zhexian waved his hand gently with a smile on his face.
Then, he turned and slowly walked towards the simple thatched hut.
Just then, the old village chief led his chubby-faced son, Tiger, to Yuan Zhexian in a hurry.
The old village chief looked solemn and commanded Tiger in a deep and authoritative voice, "Tiger, kneel down now!"
Tiger was full of doubt, but when he heard his grandfather give such a solemn instruction, he knelt down without hesitation and faced Yuan Zhexian.
Yuan Zhexian looked gently at the energetic and eager child before him and asked softly, "Tiger, have you ever thought that one day you could be as strong as me?"
Upon hearing this, Tiger's eyes lit up instantly, his face flushed with excitement, and he shouted, "Yes! I dream of becoming as powerful as you, big brother, so I can protect everyone in our village!"
Yuan Zhexian nodded slightly, satisfied, and then spoke again: "In that case, from now on you should respectfully call me Master, and you will be my disciple."
Upon hearing this, Tiger was overjoyed and immediately kowtowed several times respectfully to the ground, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Disciple greets Master!"
At this moment, Yuan Zhexian showed a gratified smile and said slowly, "Tiger, now that you have become my disciple, as the saying goes, a teacher is like a father, so today I will bestow upon you a new name."
Faced with this situation, the old village chief thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Just then, Yuan Zhexian smiled and said, "Remember, my name is Yuan Zhexian!"
"From now on, since you have become my disciple, you shall change your surname to Yuan and I will bestow upon you a new name, Yuan Taixu."
After hearing his master's words, Tiger immediately whispered the new name several times. "Yuan Taixu... Yuan Taixu..."
At first his voice was rather soft, but he quickly became excited and shouted, "Master, from today onwards, my name will be Yuan Taixu!"
Seeing his disciple so happy, Yuan Zhexian nodded in satisfaction. Then he raised his finger and gently touched Yuan Taixu's brow, and said slowly, "Taixu, today I will impart to you two peerless scriptures that are enough to shake the heavens and the earth."
"One of them is called the Taixu Sword Scripture, and this sword scripture is the origin of the name 'Taixu' in your name."
"The other one is a secret technique passed down from my master, called the Four Swords of Zhuxian."
"In my school, we value doing as you please and acting from the heart, without any constraints. I hope that the path you take in the future will be worthy of your surname and name!"
After saying this, Yuan Taixu immediately kowtowed deeply on the spot and solemnly replied, "Master, your disciple will certainly not fail your trust, and will absolutely not disgrace my name!"
Seeing that the matter was settled, Yuan Zhexian began preparations to leave the village with Yuan Taixu.
Upon hearing this, the old village chief's face immediately revealed a deep sense of reluctance.
He knew that if Yuan Taixu wanted to stand out and achieve great things, he had to leave this small village and venture out into the wider world.
However, upon hearing these words, Yuan Taixu could no longer suppress the surging emotions within him. He suddenly threw himself into the old village chief's arms and burst into tears, his cries filled with endless longing and reluctance.
Time passed second by second, and Yuan Taixu, exhausted from crying, finally calmed down.
Before long, he drifted off to sleep in the old village chief's arms, tears still glistening in the corners of his eyes.
Seeing this scene, Yuan Zhexian nodded slightly, sighed inwardly, and then his divine sense stirred.
In an instant, Yuan Taixu, who had been sleeping, suddenly floated up without warning, his body suspended in mid-air as if being lifted up by an invisible force.
Immediately afterwards, under the old village chief's gaze filled with reluctance and hope, Yuan Zhexian's figure flickered, transforming into a stream of light, and slowly ascended into the sky together with Yuan Taixu.
As they flew higher and higher, they eventually disappeared into the horizon...
At this moment, the old village chief's weathered gaze remained fixed on Yuan Taixu, as if trying to etch the child's image deep into his mind.
Because he knew very well that he would probably never have the chance to meet Yuan Taixu again in this lifetime.
So even just one more glance would be nice.
And so, the old village chief's gaze followed Yuan Zhexian and Yuan Taixu until they completely disappeared into the distant horizon.
Just then, Yuan Zhexian, who was soaring in the sky, suddenly realized that Yuan Taixu beside him had woken up from his sleep.
When the little guy opened his eyes, he found himself high in the sky. His still somewhat childish face was immediately filled with excitement, and the sadness of parting seemed to have been completely forgotten at this moment.
"Wow! Master, is this what flying feels like? It's amazing!"
"Will I be able to roam freely in the sky like you in the future?"
Yuan Taixu's face was full of hope as he looked up at Yuan Zhexian with eager eyes and asked impatiently.
Seeing this, Yuan Zhexian smiled slightly, reached out and gently patted Yuan Taixu's little head, and replied gently, "As long as you can earnestly and diligently cultivate the techniques I have taught you,"
"I believe that before long, you will be able to roam freely in the blue sky just like your teacher."
Hearing his master's encouraging words, Yuan Taixu nodded vigorously and replied confidently, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely work harder to cultivate!"
Then, as if remembering something, he asked curiously, "By the way, Master, where are we flying to next?"
Yuan Zhexian raised his head slightly, looked at the vast sea of clouds in front of him, and then slowly said, "Find the way home!"
