The Tongtian Law Enforcement Sect Leader and the Wangyou Island Master have been "in love and at odds" for many years now.

Every time they met in the past, the two of them would always clash!

This time, the tension was still thick, but the Law Enforcement Sect Leader did not draw his sword. He acted relaxed, gave a few casual instructions, and then directed his sword towards Golden Turtle Peak.

The Wangyou Island Master was somewhat unaccustomed to the "forbearance" of the Law Enforcement Sect Leader.

"Has this old fellow changed his ways?"

Lord Duan raised his eyebrows, perplexed: "I was all ready to fight him, so why did he back down?"

In his opinion,

Golden Turtle Peak has the toughest sword in the land, and the Law Enforcement Sect Leader could be counted as the most resolute person under the sky.

In past encounters, just a few words were enough to ignite this guy, causing his Sword Qi to chase me down ceaselessly.

But nowadays...

This old guy has actually, unprecedentedly, lowered his flag and ceased his drums?

"The Law Enforcement Sect Leader asked me to take the Island Master to the Thirty-three Cave Heavens."

Xie Xuanyi said helplessly: "Six months ago, the Law Enforcement Sect Leader had a fight with the Paper Taoist and got slightly injured..."

"I see."

The Wangyou Island Master snorted upon hearing this and said, "So the old boy is afraid he can't beat me, hence he's unwilling to make a move?"

He deliberately raised his voice.

Of course, it was also a provocation.

"..."

Zhao Tongtian did not turn back, riding his sword away, ignoring the Wangyou Island Master completely.

The Wangyou Island Master watched Zhao Tongtian's departing figure, falling into silence.

In fact, he vaguely understood the reason.

Zhao Tongtian didn't respond, not because he was "afraid," nor because he was "tired."

It was probably because...

Zhao Tongtian had "aged."

Time has pushed him towards elderliness.

Over the years, the Da Sui Sword Palace has undergone many transformations, finally welcoming someone as exceptional as Xie Xuanyi as a successor.

The heavy responsibilities on Zhao Tongtian's shoulders finally feel a little lighter.

This is certainly a good thing.

The Sword Palace will embrace a new spring, countless young disciples will have a new "Sect Leader," and Lotus Peak, having experienced decades of declining fortunes, is about to see an unprecedented heyday.

Only...

These had little to do with the "old fellow."

The old fellow should retreat, should retire, should rest well.

In short, there should be no more grand spectacles.

"It's really a bit hard to get used to."

The Wangyou Island Master, after a moment of silence, sighed lightly: "I really miss the days when the Golden Turtle Sword Qi was chasing me..."

...

...

Xie Xuanyi led the Wangyou Island Master into the back mountain of Yuping Peak.

The demon energy of the Thirty-three Cave Heavens has retracted quite a bit over these six months. This past half year, all the Great Demons imprisoned in the Sword Palace's Grotto Heaven have come to know that "Xie Xuanyi" has completed an incredible advancement, his strength comparable to the Yang God... previously, these Great Demons would still roar, but now they have restrained their arrogance, docile as porcelain dolls.

Today, a genuine Yang God expert entered the Grotto Heaven.

These Great Demons fell silent, huddling up even more.

"How is my son?"

Once the Wangyou Island Master set foot in the Grotto Heaven, he headed directly for his destination. His Divine Thought enveloped the Thirty-three Cave Heavens, and within a few moments, he found the Cave Heaven where Duan Zhao was situated.

It was a Grotto Heaven composed of numerous towering peaks formed into a cliffside grotto.

Years ago, a Sword Immortal at the Yang God Realm in the Da Sui Sword Palace, who had realized the "Mysterious and Clumsy Sword Intent," opened this Grotto Heaven with his own Taoist Intent before his death... This Grotto Heaven was extremely heavy, requiring those who entered to withstand external pressure many times, even tens or nearly a hundred times more than usual.

If one's Flesh Body physique was lacking, not to mention taking a step, even standing would be extremely difficult.

This Grotto Heaven was named after its Taoist Intent, called "Xuanzhuo Cave Heaven."

"So this is the Saints Cave Heaven where my son cultivates?"

The Wangyou Island Master took a step forward, crossing the Void Torrent, directly reaching the entrance of Xuanzhuo Cave Heaven. Though he seemed reckless, he was actually meticulous, stopping just before entering the Grotto Heaven.

Separated by the Void Formation.

The Wangyou Island Master's expression was concerned as he gazed at the scene within the Xuanzhuo Cave Heaven.

He saw a small, thin figure sitting cross-legged atop one of the small mountains in Xuanzhuo Cave Heaven, fully focused, his eyes closed in cultivation. A huge, heavy sword was stuck in the ground before him, emitting a faint, majestic and heavy Taoist Intent.

During these six months.

Duan Zhao's body had grown significantly, and his overall spirit had undergone a drastic transformation.

"Chang Chuan..."

The Wangyou Island Master softly muttered, his eyes filled with tenderness and emotion.

Is this... still his son?

When he left Wangyou Island.

He only reached up to his waist.

In two or three years, he had already surpassed his chest.

In another two years, will he surpass his father in height?

"These six months, he has been cultivating in 'Xuanzhuo Cave Heaven.'

Xie Xuanyi softly said: "Now he is at the eighth level of the Cave Heaven, but he's close to comprehending the 'Mysterious and Clumsy Dao Intent.'"

"What... almost comprehending the Dao Intent?"

The Wangyou Island Master suddenly snapped out of it.

He suddenly remembered something extremely important, and quickly looked at Xie Xuanyi, lowering his voice as he spoke viciously: "You little rascal, what did you promise me back then... I helped you with guidance on Primordial Qi Acupoints and Body Refining Technique, and you actually want to take my son as a disciple?"

During the Sword Qi Grand Ceremony back then, the two had met.

With the insight of the Yang God Realm, the Wangyou Island Master had offered Xie Xuanyi a swift method for molding his Golden Body.

"Island Master's great kindness, Xuanyi will never forget."

Xie Xuanyi shrugged, saying: "But what I promised you back then was 'Xie Zhen'... Xie Zhen and Duan Zhao are not master and disciple. In a certain sense, I did not break my promise."

"??? "

The Wangyou Island Master, upon hearing this, laughed out of anger.

"Alright, alright, alright!"

The Wangyou Island Master rolled up his sleeves, sneering coldly: "Indeed, the waves behind push the waves in front in the Yangtze River. You brat truly opened my eyes... I heard that there's a Great Array over the Thirty-three Cave Heavens. I wonder if any sound from here can make it outside?"

"Does Island Master wish to instruct this junior's cultivation?"

Xie Xuanyi was not afraid.

He blinked, smiling as he said: "Actually, this junior also wants to learn Wangyou Island's martial arts, but my realm is still too low now. If the senior uses the Yang God Realm to bully the Yin God, it probably wouldn't sound good if it got out... By the way, while the Thirty-three Cave Heavens is hidden, anything that stirs for miles around the Da Sui Sword Palace is within Lotus Cave Heaven's grasp."

As if to echo Xie Xuanyi's words.

Just as he finished speaking.

A lattice of qi-condensed lotuses flew through the void, quietly shattering into wisps of mist between them.

Some people do not need to appear.

Everyone knows he is always there.

"..."

The two looked at each other.

Silence at this moment was stronger than words.

"I am truly convinced!"

The Wangyou Island Master let his sleeves down again.

He looked up, gazing at the shattered Primordial Qi Lotus, and shouted indignantly: "Zhao Chunyang... do you have to protect your protégé like this? Honestly, do you really think this guy named Xie really counts as a Yin God? That kid from the One Strike Sect was almost beaten to a pulp!"
