Ling Xian felt there was no malice in head senior sister’s attacks, but she still made him use all he had. She knew him like the back of her hand, using the right amount of pressure to stir his cultivation.

  Zhuo Qingyao’s violent sword force send him reeling again and again. He felt the sheer brutality of her swings crawling all over his skin.

  At that very moment, he seemed to have understood. Ling Xian recalled his Master unleashing Conquering Immortals Art’s Sea Gazing stage many times before. He began to wave his fists brazenly, a tide surging with each move!

  Zhuo Qingyao cleaved them and sheathed her sword, “Adequate. You should now have the power to pass the Transcending realm Tribulation without much problem. Ask Master to help you consolidate what you learned and you will breakthrough!”


  Ling Xian was happy and amazed all at the same time. Under her pressure, divine light seemed to have flashed and he unleashed Sea Gazing!

  Ling Xian bowed, “Many thanks, head senior sister!”


  Fatty was at the point of toppling. He never saw something the like not even in the Heavenly Court. His brothers scrambled for wealth with every chance, lacking the friendly atmosphere of Yan Mountain.

  Head senior sister and second senior brother seemed to be having a brawl but they weren’t that into it. Zhuo Qingyao’s light slash cut away at second senior brother’s doubts on Conquering Immortals Art. Her power far outstripped his second senior brother and only thought of helping him breakthrough.

  Ling Xian was overjoyed and went to settle the fatty in, “You never know where Master is on Yan Mountain, he likes to stroll around. Head senior sister is in seclusion so if there’s anything you need just come to me, or third senior brother, or fourth senior sister. We will do all we can to help you. If any dares to mess with you, second senior brother will knock all his teeth out!”


  Fatty felt touched. After his mother’s death, this is the first he received such warmth, “Many thanks, second senior brother.”


  Ling Xian smiled towards the teary-eyed fatty, “What’s there to cry about? A true man never cries even when he sweats or bleeds!”


  Fatty was 20 years of age, still young, as he wiped his tears away at Ling Xian’s words, “Yes, second senior brother, junior brother will remember!”


  Over at Chen Ming’s, he just received a mission while refining pills, “Ding! You triggered a mission. Ling Xian feels his cultivation is not enough, despite being on the edge of understanding Conquering Immortals Art’s Sea Gazing. Please help him strengthen his knowledge and make him welcome the Heavenly Tribulation to become a Sovereign! Reward: 300,000 merits, the fifth legacy disciple position.”


  Oh, that kid is finally breaking through!

  Chen Lingyu has been a Sovereign for a long time now yet this kid with a fighting job breaks through slower than one with a logistics job!

  I have two lottery tickets and when the kid breaks through, his Luck Aura will rub off on me!

  The lottery ticket from a disciple’s breakthrough in a realm is a high chance to win big. I will finally get another round of winnings!

  This got him excited in a jiffy. He was getting ready to go help him when Chen Lingyu came to find him, “Master, second senior brother sent news that fifth junior brother arrived!”


  Chen Ming was in glee, “Let’s go. Settle things here quickly and we’ll be going to receive fifth junior brother’s greeting together!”


  Chen Lingyu knew of the new disciple’s importance. Every Yan Mountain legacy disciple was filled with emotion and clear authority. A new legacy disciple was a matter of great importance on Yan Mountain!

  Chen Lingyu gathered her things while also declaring to the Scarlet Tide Continent that Wan Baqian was Chen Ming’s disciple, Yan Mountain’s Fifth Sect Leader. The whole land was in a celebration as they were getting ready to congratulate him.

  As Yan Mountain grew stronger, their lives grew safer.

  Of course, the flattering element was of great importance too.

  In a unified continent under Yan Mountain, and Chen Ming getting a new legacy disciple, they had to show their acceptance.

  Chen Ming saw through their thinking but it didn’t damp his excitement. I say, these cultivators are quite smart!

  With Chen Lingyu in tow, they arrive on the Expansion Star. Li Suyi was also in a rush to see his fifth junior brother, now that he heard of his coming.

  The rest of the disciples were returning to Yan Mountain branch to pay respects to their new senior brother.

  After three days of preparations, Chen Ming took his seat of honor as Ling Xian led fatty into the hall. He introduced Chen Lingyu, “Here is your fourth senior sister.”


  Fatty bowed, “Junior brother greets fourth senior sister!”


  Chen Lingyu’s heart was skipping in joy, she no longer was the smallest. She was a senior sister! She pinched his cheeks, “When you’re free, do come see your senior sister. Senior sister has many tasty treats.”


  Ling Xian continued, “Here is your third senior brother, but don’t go too often to drink with him.”


  “Why so?”


  “Third senior brother is a vegan!”


  Li Suyi smacked the table, sending him a glare, “Second senior brother, it’s been ages since our last spar. I seem to recall how you defeated me 32 times over at Sky Canyon when you just entered the Aspect stage!”


  Ling Xian had no chance to beat him now, coughing twice, “Hurry up and greet third senior brother!”


  Chen Ming ignored their squabble, it was their habit to be noisy. Their mouths are vicious but after the fight, the two bros would go drink till they drop, then they go and wake up with each other’s damn underwear!

  Chen Ming would find it odd if the two didn’t scuffle.

  Fatty bowed, “Junior brother greets third senior brother!”


  Li Suyi nodded, “You’re a diviner, not easy to move around. Come by tomorrow and I will give you an immortal beast to ride on!”


  Fatty was over the moon, I’m so moved by my seniors’ gifts! “Many thanks, third senior brother!”


  Ling Xian took his seat and presented some ornate clothes. Fatty knew its meaning and bowed, “Junior brother greets second senior brother!”


  “Master said you are suited to wield strange immortal tools and senior brother helped you find these immortal garments so you can wear them.”


  Fatty took them. They were glittery and shiny from all the accessories, so of course he could wear them. His joy grew again.

  Fatty now bowed before Zhuo Qingyao, “Junior brother greets head senior sister!”


  Zhuo Qingyao’s nod meant she at least approved of him. She took out Obelisk, “This sword has followed me for many years and has my Sword Intent within. It grew over the years and can end a Beneath Immortal. Take it for your safety.”


  Zhuo Qingyao’s sword intent was a whole lot stronger than Chen Ming’s since the latter didn’t mainly cultivate the Sword Dao.

  Fatty accepted her sword with much content. He poured a cup of tea and presented it before Chen Ming on his knees, “Disciple Wan Baqian greets Master!”


  Chen Ming nodded and took the cup as the fatty kowtowed three times. Chen Ming sipped and said, “Rise. Your seniors gave you many things and Master shall leave you with a saying. Remember it well: reach the heavens through wealth!”


  Fatty rose, “Many thanks, Master!”
