...

Not only did Xiao Yuying, who was nearby, see this scene, but the entire Tianhe Sect on the other end of the East Continent also stared dumbfounded at the sky.

Yan Wushuang stood beside Xie Qingxue, scratching his head, and stammered, "Senior Sister, isn't Zheng Fa undergoing the Nascent Soul Tribulation?"

"Hmm."

"Why is the Nascent Soul Tribulation causing such a commotion?"

"..."

Xie Qingxue kept a stern face, cursing inwardly, "How would I know?"

"Did Zheng Fa pass the Nascent Soul Tribulation?"

A somewhat serious voice came from behind the two.

Yan Wushuang's body stiffened, and he turned to look at his father, expression anxious, clearly a bit afraid of interacting with Sect Leader Yan.

But Sect Leader Yan didn't pay attention to his useless appearance. Like everyone else, he looked up at Zheng Fa in the sky.

There was some new change around Zheng Fa.

The flames covering the entire Xuanwei Sky slowly gathered toward his chest, forming a small golden spark.

This spark seemed inconspicuous.

But unless one is a fool, a small spark formed by such a massive force of flames...

It's obviously terrifying when you think about it.

Evidently, Sect Leader Yan was no fool.

He frowned at the disappearing Zheng Fa in the sky, remaining silent for a long while.

Xie Qingxue sneaked a sidelong glance at her master and actually saw many complex emotions on his face:

Like doubting life...

Or completely bewildered...

Even a sense that the Xuanwei Realm had gone mad...

She could swear that since she came under her master's tutelage, she had never seen such a confused expression on his face.

As if noticing her peeking, Sect Leader Yan slowly composed the complexity on his face and cleared his throat:

"Zheng Fa entered the Dao... less than ten years, right?"

Xie Qingxue silently nodded.

"Ten years... Achieving Nascent Soul, not to mention seeming to have Heavenly Dao's favor, obtaining Innate Divine Abilities." Sect Leader Yan calculated and his face changed slightly, "And three kinds of Innate Divine Abilities?"

Xie Qingxue saw that her master's expression was even more shocked than before and understood the astonishment in his tone:

Although achieving Nascent Soul in ten years was extraordinary, compared to Zheng Fa obtaining Innate Divine Abilities three times, it was another concept:

The Tianhe Sect had always wanted to replicate the experiences of the Tianhe Ancestor, naturally researching Innate Divine Abilities deeply.

In their view, Innate Divine Abilities were the result of a cultivator reaching the extreme in a realm, prompting the Heavenly Dao.

This means that Zheng Fa wasn't just fast in his cultivation.

He even progressed steadily, achieving the utmost in each realm.

This... even Xie Qingxue couldn't understand.

However, she thought of one thing:

"But... didn't Ancestor Master obtain Innate Divine Abilities during the Nascent Soul Stage? How could Zheng Fa also have it upon forming his Nascent Soul?"

"...After all, none of us have Innate Divine Abilities, maybe our understanding of them is wrong..." Sect Leader Yan sighed, paused, and then said, "But I can be sure of one thing, using the Ancestor's method to form a Nascent Soul won't prompt the Heavenly Dao's favor."

That is indeed true...

The Ancestor's disciples who practiced the Nine Reincarnation Golden Core Method weren't few, yet none seemed to have obtained Innate Divine Abilities.

"So... Zheng Fa truly didn't inherit the Ancestor's legacy."

Sect Leader Yan suddenly sighed.

"?"

Xie Qingxue was momentarily dazed, quickly understanding her master's thoughts—if Zheng Fa practiced the Ancestor's cultivation method, he shouldn't have Innate Divine Abilities, and now that he has, naturally...

The Nine Mountain Golden Core Method got inexplicably vindicated?

She felt her master probably misunderstood, but it was a beautiful misunderstanding, so she naturally didn't want to correct it.

Xie Qingxue and Yan Wushuang exchanged a glance, and there was a hint of smile in both their eyes.

"You..."

Unexpectedly, Sect Leader Yan looked at Yan Wushuang, seemingly having something more to say.

Yan Wushuang shrank his head, seemingly afraid, but quickly straightened his neck and said, "What about me?"

"..."

Xie Qingxue couldn't help but feel helpless. Yan Wushuang seemed to have a knot in his heart regarding his master, reacting explosively face-to-face.

He was just asking for trouble.

"...You're not bad."

"Huh?"

This left Yan Wushuang puzzled. He scratched his head again, carefully observing his own father, with a sudden concern on his face...

Xie Qingxue understood the expression on his face—Is my dad shocked silly by Zheng Fa?

She believed her master understood too.

Because she saw her master take two deep breaths before speaking again, "Zheng Fa, this person... you two judged correctly, whereas I underestimated him."

"..."

At this, both understood.

Sect Leader Yan was praising their ability to recognize talent.

Xie Qingxue couldn't help but have a trace of a smile on her face.

"Just like this, Haori Mountain probably won't sit still either."

"..."

Xie Qingxue's expression stiffened, immediately understanding her master's implication, and she started to worry.

Zheng Fa gained the Heavenly Dao's favor, with such remarkable phenomena...

It naturally wasn't a bad thing.

But for sinister forces like Haori Mountain, it might be increasingly urgent.

"Haori Mountain... is it really going to oppose the Jiushan Sect?"

"If you are Haori Mountain, having done so many deeds in the shadows..." Sect Leader Yan said calmly, "Would you believe that after Zheng Fa achieves Dao, he could let you go?"

"..."

Of course, she wouldn't believe it.

This... with Zheng Fa's prominence, could the Jiushan Sect be in greater danger?

"I'll draft a gift list, and you take your junior disciple to the Jiushan Sect to congratulate Zheng Fa."

"Huh?"

Even Xie Qingxue couldn't help but widen her eyes, looking at her master.

Her master was clearly talking about the great danger of the Jiushan Sect, yet now he was pushing her and her junior brother towards the Jiushan Sect?

She suddenly raised her eyes, looking at her master, and suddenly asked, "Master, previously... did your injury heal?"

Sect Leader Yan did not answer her, just looked at her deeply and chuckled softly.
