Chapter 391

However, he couldn't be so reckless if he went any higher.

A section higher was Shushan's no-fly zone.

If he flew high over it, he would be forced to land, and by then, if he wasn't stunned by the fall, he would be taken away by the Law Enforcement Hall for education.

Not knowing how long he had been flying, from afar, Xingqiu saw another familiar figure flying over.

Taking a closer look, Xingqiu flew over with some excitement.

"Chongyun! Why are you here? Are you also practicing the flying sword? Then you've really run quite far; this is already our Tongtian Peak."

The person coming was indeed Chongyun, who was also shuttling through the air on a flying sword just like Xingqiu.

After reaching Xingqiu's side, Chongyun said helplessly:

"Didn't you tell me earlier that you were going to find your elder brother later?"

Hearing this, Xingqiu was stunned, then patted his head, and said somewhat awkwardly:

"Ah... this..."

"I just finished tidying up the Dao field and tried flying on the sword, almost forgetting about this."

Chongyun rolled his eyes and said softly:

"Are you going now? Starting tomorrow, we have to intensify our cultivation."

Xingqiu thought about it and nodded:

"No matter what, I should go see my brother. My brother also joined Shushan; although he is in the Outer Sect, I believe in my brother's talent and that he will be promoted to the Inner Sect sooner or later."

"Family members in Shushan should take care of each other."

Xingqiu spoke righteously, but in reality...

He just wanted to show off his status as an Inner Sect disciple to his brother.

Chongyun naturally understood this.

Honestly speaking, it was just because he was an only child; otherwise, if he had an elder or younger brother who joined the Shushan Outer Sect.

He would also go show off.

Of course, strictly speaking, Chongyun also had relatives in Shushan.

But...

He didn't dare to show off in front of Shenhe.

She started cultivating immortality early, and her strength was already at the late stage of Essence Refinement and Qi Transformation.

She could be considered one of the strongest among all Shushan disciples, in terms of combat power alone.

With the Seven Killings of Gods and Ghosts in hand, she could fight three experts at the late stage of Essence Refinement and Qi Transformation single-handedly.

Plus the compatibility between the Pure Yin Body and the Pure Maiden Scripture.

Future Chongyun, at most, would be an Inner Sect disciple.

But future Shenhe was destined to achieve the position of Head Seat of Bamboo Peak.

Trying to show off in front of Shenhe—before he even entered the door, he would be blasted away by Shenhe's talisman.

Thinking of this, Chongyun still envied Xingqiu quite a bit.

The two of them, each with their own thoughts, flew down the mountain of Dragon Head Peak on their flying swords.

In fact, Outer Sect disciples also had the Seven Veins division, but without becoming Inner Sect disciples, they would never be particularly valued.

It was nothing more than the Outer Sect Elders dividing them into the Seven Veins according to their personalities.

Xingqiu's brother, Xingyun, was an Outer Sect disciple on Dragon Head Peak.

He even passed the double heart-questioning, but just fell short in the third stage.

So, Xingqiu said that he was very likely the existence that would be promoted to an Inner Sect disciple the fastest.

Compared to the Inner Sect disciple residences on the mountainside, the Dao fields of Outer Sect disciples were a bit crude.

And the concentration of spiritual energy was naturally not as good as above the mountainside.

But Outer Sect disciples were already very satisfied with this.

Saying it was crude, it was still a large cave dwelling for each person.

Enough for them to cultivate in their daily lives.

Although there were more Outer Sect disciples, the cave dwellings of Outer Sect disciples were clearly not crowded either.

At the very least, Xingyun was the only one within a few miles.

Compared to the lively Xingqiu, Xingyun appeared much more steady.

At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged in the cave dwelling, practicing the circulation of Qi.

Perhaps it was also because Xingqiu joined the Inner Sect while he only joined the Outer Sect, feeling a bit stimulated, he was now working hard.

But to say that their relationship had worsened, that wasn't the case; Xingyun was still very happy for Xingqiu's encounter.

No matter what, their family had established a relationship with Shushan, and Xingqiu had also become an Inner Sect disciple.

For their family, this was a great thing.

The more mature Xingyun prioritized family and collective interests when considering things; honestly, such disciples were the ones Shushan liked the most.

Very organized.

"Brother, I've come to see you!"

Xingqiu and Chongyun landed generously in front of Xingyun's cave dwelling on their flying swords.

Inside the cave dwelling, Xingyun, who was meditating, slowly opened his eyes, smiled bitterly, and walked out of the cave dwelling.

Looking at Xingqiu floating on the flying sword in front of him, he teased slightly:

"I don't think you came to see me, but to show off that you became an Inner Sect disciple."

Hearing this, Xingqiu scratched his cheek awkwardly and landed on the flying sword.

He walked up quickly and said with a smile:

"I did have a little bit of that thought!"

"After all, you just performed poorly, Brother; wait a while and you can also become an Inner Sect disciple, and then I won't be able to show off."

"I have to seize the time."

Although he knew Xingqiu was saying this to deliberately enlighten him, Xingyun felt better overall.

However, after a moment, Xingyun shook his head.

"You don't have to exaggerate so much; your cultivation talent is stronger than mine, and your will is firmer."

"This assessment might not have been me performing poorly, just that my strength is only so much."

"But I believe that before long, I will be able to successfully be promoted to an Inner Sect disciple."

Xingyun's words were sonorous and powerful, and his eyes were extremely firm.

Xingqiu smiled and bowed:

"Then I congratulate you in advance on becoming an Inner Sect disciple, Brother!"

233. The first victim of the Purple Gold Gourd, Tartaglia.

What exactly Xingqiu, Xingyun, and Chongyun talked about that day, only they knew for the time being.

However, according to some Outer Sect disciples who saw them leave, Xingqiu and Chongyun left with red faces.

And Xingyun went back with a dark face.

It seemed that the conversation wasn't very friendly.

However, regarding other people's business, Shushan disciples also inherited the good principles of cultivators.

Mind your own business.

Even if they were fellow disciples, they were just friends who could help each other, not friends who gossiped about each other.

Gossip was fine, but spreading rumors would get you caught by the Law Enforcement Hall.

Having finally joined Shushan, these Shushan disciples were all very cautious.

For a period of time after that, no more waves were stirred up.

Everything was orderly and proceeding steadily.

On the night of the Sect Opening Ceremony, the Xuanming Small World descended next to the Nine Nether Secret Realm on Dragon Head Peak.

Zhongli had one more world to guard.

And the Shushan Demon-Locking Tower also appeared outside the Sect Main Hall on Tongtian Peak.

The ancient, towering tower that reached into the clouds looked even a bit dilapidated.

But once one got close, they could perceive the sense of crisis that was rich to the extreme.
