775 Return

Therefore, every genius did their best to become famous, as that was the best guarantee they had of receiving the protection of the law enforcers.

Currently, there were only two disciples of the Xuan Gate sect outside, which were Yi Lingling and Xue Ping. Both of them were extremely famous within the Heavenly Sun World, and were Holy Dao realm experts.

As such, few people were capable of threatening their safety.

However, Qi Le was not the same. Although the Xuan Gate sect’s fame would provide some token deterrence, he was not strong enough to protect himself from the Li family, who would likely take action the moment they discovered his existence.

All they had to do was to accomplish it cleanly and secretly. They could even do so in an above-board manner by dispatching their disciples or descendants to do it under the guise of the competition.

Still, it was a good chance for Qi Le to temper himself. The Xuan Gate sect would back him up in their own way.

A year later, Yi Lingling and Xue Ping had returned.

“Greetings, Tenth Senior Sister and Eleventh Senior Brother!”

Qi Le and Chu Yu greeted their seniors.

“Oh, a little junior brother and little junior sister.”

Then, after examining them, Yi Lingling and Xue Ping were shocked.

How old were they even?

They had reached the Saint Dao realm?

As expected, those who could enter the Xuan Gate sect were all monsters.

Yi Lingling and Xue Ping then began to share their experiences over the years in the outside world.

Naturally, conflicts were inevitable.

They would often explore some historical sites and ancient battlefields. There, they would encounter other geniuses, and fight over the treasures and opportunities that lay within.

“I can’t be too proud. I didn’t think that there would be someone as strong as I was in my generation,” Xue Ping sighed.

Before he came back, he had fought a great battle with another genius of the Heavenly Sun World who was also famous.

Even though he had the upper hand, he was unable to defeat his opponent.

Yi Lingling nodded.

She had also met her match.

Chu Xuan was not surprised by this, as a number of select geniuses had obtained the legacies prepared by the Dao Supreme Rulers in order to advance their grand scheme.

This time, Yi Lingling and Xue Ping came back not only to visit their master, but also to improve themselves.

“There are still geniuses on par with you in the current Heavenly Sun World?” Lie Tian asked in disbelief.

Lie Tian was fully aware of the Xuan Gate sect’s foundation and the plethora of cultivation techniques and divine powers they cultivated.

Yi Lingling and Xue Ping’s talents were rare even in his era.

How could geniuses that could match them exist?

Chu Xuan laughed.

“Now that the hands of fate are moving, geniuses are appearing in large numbers. These geniuses will push the hands of fate forward, so it’s not strange that there are those as powerful as these two.”

“Sect master, what do you mean by hands of fate?” Lie Tian asked curiously.

“The goal of those moving in the dark is to achieve the perfection of Yin and Yang and open up a new path,” Chu Xuan said profoundly.

Lie Tian’s heart shook.

Then he thought of the great battle back then. Was that too orchestrated in preparation for the current situation?

Were these monstrous geniuses cultivated by those hidden existences in order to move the hands of fate forward?

It would make total sense then that they could match Yi Lingling and Xue Ping

Xue Ping continued to talk about some of the famous geniuses in the Heavenly Sun World, as Qi Le and Chu Yu listened intently.

They were naturally filled with curiosity about the outside world, especially Qi Le, whose heart was restless for revenge.

“I’ve heard recently that the Li family has produced a monster. He’s only a hundred years old, but he’s already reached the 15th level of the Dao realm.”

Xue ping sighed.

“The Li family is trying their best to cultivate this young man. He has not even opened his Dao path, yet they are already focusing their efforts on him.”

“Of course,” Yi Lingling replied, “How many Dao realm experts are there in the Heavenly Sun World?”

When she was over a hundred years old, Yi Lingling had only just reached the Dao realm.

Of course, she was different. After all, she was not born in an ancient family like the Li family.

Even though she became Chu Xuan’s disciple, it was to build her cultivation foundation.

Chu Xuan and Lie Tian did not help her at all in terms of finding and exploring her own Dao. She had to comprehend it by herself.

Therefore, her understanding of her Dao path was stronger, and it would be easier for her to break through to the Dao Creation realm in the future.

This was also the way the Xuan Gate sect nurtured its disciples. It focused on building their cultivation foundations and helping them to understand their strengths and talents.

Xue Ping nodded. When he was over a hundred years old, he was still in a miserable state.

When Qi Le heard the two of them talking about the Li family, he subconsciously clenched his fists and his eyes flashed with resentment.

Chu Yu held his hand and consoled him silently.

“Little Junior Brother, what’s wrong?”

Yi Lingling noticed Qi Le’s unusual behavior and asked curiously.

“Little Le’er was also from the Li family, but he was abandoned. His mother also died at the hands of the Li family’s first lady,” Su Xian’er explained.

“The Li family is really blind. How can their genius compare to our Junior Brother’s talent?”

“I heard that their genius is the youngest son of Lady Li?” Xue ping sneered.

He reached out and patted Qi Le’s shoulder, saying, “”Don’t worry, Junior Brother. From now on, I will target the Li family and kill all of their geniuses to avenge you!”

“Xue Ping is right. I’ll teach your heartless father a lesson on your behalf when I leave,” Yi Lingling said coldly.

“Many thanks, Senior Sister and Senior Brother. However, I will personally handle the matter of the Li family. I will also personally avenge my mother,” Qi Le said gratefully.

“Then I’ll protect you. I want to see what the Li family can do,” Xue Ping said.

Chu Xuan said, “Le’er will handle his family’s matters. If you have any doubts about your cultivation, you can speak now.”

Xue Ping chuckled and took out a bunch of things.

These were all treasures that he had obtained from exploring various ancient sites over the years.

“Master, can I leave these treasures here to enrich our treasury?”

Chu Xuan looked at it with disdain. “Keep that trash. There aren’t many people in the Xuan Gate sect, so we’re not short of actual treasures.”

Xue ping was stunned.

Trash?

“Master, these are all treasures above the Saint Dao realm.”

He looked aggrieved.

In order to enrich the sect’s treasure and increase the foundation of the sect, he had explored many historical sites.

Although his master had given him extraordinary treasures, there was no treasury in the sect. Other than the spiritual herbs that his master grew in the medicinal garden, there were no artifacts or other such treasures.

“These are trash. Leaving it here will degrade the quality of the environment here.”

Chu Xuan raised his hand and patted Xue Ping’s head.

Looking at the pile of items, he threw out a furnace and said, “You can refine all of these into supreme treasures.”
