Chapter 388 Chu Feng’s Admonition
The night was already deep.
Shi Xuan was still cultivating in his courtyard. Within his sea of consciousness, a “Qian” character formed from ancient Dao script was on the verge of taking shape.
Time flowed by, and before dawn arrived, the disciples on Miaomiao Mountain had already risen and begun their daily cultivation.
Just as they completed their preparations, a divine radiance shot into the sky, accompanied by heaven-shaking phenomena.
Qin Yun, witnessing the scene, murmured, “Master, look at the heavenly signs. Which uncle on Miaomiao Mountain is breaking through?”
Ye Beixuan lifted his head, sensing slightly with his divine sense, then smiled. “This is your Uncle Shi breaking through. It is the sign of a divine body awakening. After three years of cultivation… it seems some people are about to meet misfortune.”
In his past life, he too had crossed swords with Shi Xuan. At that time, Shi Xuan was hailed as the foremost genius of Beiyuan.
But for unknown reasons, Shi Xuan was later defeated repeatedly by unknown figures, ultimately perishing during the Shi family’s Twin Stone Battle. It was a tragedy that drew many sighs.
In this life, upon learning of Shi Xuan’s fate and karmic entanglements, Ye Beixuan understood why that downfall had occurred. This time, his junior brother would surely defy Heaven and change destiny.
“Divine body!”
Qin Yun’s face was full of shock. “Master, could you secretly tell your disciple how Grandmaster awakened all of your divine bodies?”
“This is hardly a great secret.”
Ye Beixuan laughed. “It was simply a matter of teaching according to talent.”
“…”
Qin Yun’s expression twitched. “Master, was it really that simple?”
“What else did you expect?”
Ye Beixuan continued, “The effort your grandmaster spent on me wasn’t even a tenth of what I spend on you. Yet you barely managed to awaken a saint body. Shouldn’t you be questioning yourself instead?”
Qin Yun’s face was filled with helplessness. Before outsiders, he was the shining chief disciple of the inner sect—no, a true inheritor of Wendao.
But before his master, he was nothing more than a talentless child. He often heard his master mutter:
“You boy, why are you so dull? Back in my day…”
Seeing his disciple fall silent, Ye Beixuan said nothing further. Grabbing him casually, he flew toward Shi Xuan’s courtyard.
At the same time, Qin Qin and the others also began hurrying to Shi Xuan’s residence.
Only the disciples of the inner and outer courts stayed rooted in place, hesitant. With differences of rank and status, if they intruded rashly and disturbed a senior’s breakthrough, the consequences were more than they could bear.
Minute by minute passed.
“Exactly! That Shi Xuan fellow didn’t even dare to participate in the outer sect competition. How could he have awakened a divine body?”
“…”
The newly joined disciples flatly refused to believe.
“Have you all forgotten? Chief Chu never accepts mediocrity. For Shi Xuan to become his disciple, he was destined to shake the world. Fortunately, none of you offended him in the past.”
After saying this, the senior turned and left, leaving the new disciples staring at each other in silence.
They gazed toward Miaomiao Mountain, their hearts a tangled mix of emotions.
…
In the Miscellaneous Dao Institute’s chief residence.
Bing Yan, seeing the familiar phenomenon in the skies, did not disturb Chu Feng’s rest. She instead flew alone toward Shi Xuan’s courtyard.
But Chu Feng was already awakened by that familiar notification ringing in his mind.
“Disciple Shi Xuan has comprehended the Qian Secret of the Nine Secrets. The Nine Secrets have been entered. He has broken through to the True Fate Realm, awakened the Zhou Tian Body, comprehended the Truth of Fate. Reward to host: Nine Secrets perfection, cultivation +20 years, Great Dao Truth +1, Zhou Tian Body perfected!
Host’s cultivation lifespan limit has broken through ten thousand years, maximum lifespan extended to one million years.”
Originally Chu Feng had planned to turn over and continue sleeping, but upon hearing his lifespan limit had reached one million years, he jolted upright in excitement like a carp springing from water.
“Never thought I would reap such an unexpected gain. This time, I shall not blame you for disturbing my rest.”
System: “…”
Muttering, Chu Feng looked at his bedding, felt it still needed him, and lay back down to continue sleeping.
The phenomena above Miaomiao Mountain did not alarm the higher ranks of Wendao Academy.
The nine chiefs merely remarked in passing: Chief Chu has never misjudged.
By midday, Shi Xuan tidied himself and slowly stepped out from his courtyard.
The moment he emerged, he saw his senior brothers and sisters waiting, and immediately cupped his fists. “Shi Xuan greets all senior brothers and sisters.”
Qin Qin was the first to speak. “Congratulations, Junior Brother Shi, on breaking through to the True Fate Realm.”
The others followed, offering their congratulations.
After some exchange of pleasantries, they proceeded together to the chief residence to pay respects to Chu Feng.
Soon after, Shi Xuan entered the residence accompanied by his peers.
The group, upon seeing Chu Feng seated at the stone table, all saluted.
“We greet Master.”
“Dispense with ceremony.”
Chu Feng’s gaze fell on Shi Xuan as he smiled. “How do you feel now?”
Shi Xuan replied, “Master, this disciple feels he could defeat any so-called Child of Fate at any moment.”
“Xiao Xuan, you are becoming arrogant.”
Chu Feng’s smile faded, his expression turning solemn.
Shi Xuan had not expected that a casual remark would evoke such seriousness from his master. He quickly said, “This disciple admits his mistake.”
Chu Feng said sternly, “Xiao Xuan, you must remember, the path you walk is the hardest among all of my disciples. Never underestimate any opponent.”
Those present were puzzled by this statement.
Here on Miaomiao Mountain, they might not appear overwhelming, but any one of them, taken outside, would be regarded as a peerless genius. In the past, their master always urged steadiness, but never before had he shown such gravity.
Xu Caichen stepped forward. “Master, could it be that the Child of Fate Junior Brother Shi must face possesses even greater fortune than us?”
“Not necessarily.”
Chu Feng paused, then continued, “But every Child of Fate bears the blessing of fortune. Each time you fail to kill them, they will grow stronger, even gaining opportunities because of your pursuit. Their growth will not be any slower than yours.
Therefore, my counsel is that when hunting a Child of Fate, you must strike to kill in one blow. Ensure their soul is utterly destroyed. Only then can you prevent future calamity.”
Everyone’s expressions grew grave upon hearing this.
Just then, a messenger hawk slowly descended from the skies…
