A holographic screen appeared above the Xiyi Talisman, and a familiar yet unfamiliar face. Tears pooled at the corner of Leng Junfeng’s eyes as he recognized her fiery hair and scarlet eyes. She had blossomed to a beautiful young lady from the adolescent form he had last seen her in. “M-Master?”

Juedai Fenghua’s next words completely shattered Leng Junfeng’s expectations of a touching reunion. “Huh? You still haven’t given up on that. I thought seeing my main body would have smashed your fantasies. Just so you know, although I’m a girl, I share the same sexual orientation as my main body.”

Leng Junfeng’s expression cramped up and his tear ducts dried up instantly. “Master, you haven’t changed at all.”

“How many times do I have to tell you—”

Leng Junfeng steeled himself and waited for Juedai Fenghua’s reprimanding slap. Only, nothing hit him. It was now that he remembered that he was speaking to his master through the Xiyi Talisman and not face-to-face.

Speaking of which, “Oh right, you’ve made it to the Huang Realm. I did say you can call me master instead of teacher once you’ve become an immortal.”

“That’s right, Master,” Leng Junfeng said. Despite his thousand years of experience, he seemed to have transformed into that naïve teenager once more. “Master, master, master!”

Juedai Fenghua frowned. “Why are you repeating that word? Do you have brain damage or something? Or did you want to get slapped by me that much?”

“Master, I was wrong,” Leng Junfeng said, raising his free hand defensively.

There was a snort. “So tell me, what happened after you arrived?”

“Master!” Hearing this, Leng Junfeng couldn’t hold it back any longer. He told Juedai Fenghua what happened after she left the Allfist Realm. Of how he defeated the cancer known as the Teng Family and restored the rightful rulers, the Li Imperial Family. He told her of how he single-handedly defeated the Du Dynasty and united the Allfist Realm under his power before ascending.

He told Juedai Fenghua of when he first arrived in a mid-rank realm and struggled before gaining a foothold. “Master, I also found that bastard, Teng Shifang. I couldn’t kill him in the Allfist Realm because he ascended after becoming a soul nourishing grandmaster. However, he wasn’t so lucky in the mid-rank realm. I hunted him down and killed him. Unfortunately, I angered the force behind him, forcing me to go on the run for years before I grew strong enough to repel them.”

“That’s good and all, but why are you telling me all this?!” Juedai Fenghua asked. “I only asked about what happened after you entered the Huang Realm.”

“But Master, you don’t want to know what happened to me in all these years?”

“What’s there to know? Isn’t it just you reaching the peak of whatever place you went to? Although you would be chased down by some forces due to their aggressiveness and looking down on you, you eventually gained enough strength to repel them and even make them kneel. It happened to you in the Allfist Realm, it happened in the mid-rank realm, and it also happened in the high-rank realm. Am I correct?”

Leng Junfeng pouted. “That’s only part of the story.”

“Let me guess, because of your shockingly young age, you joined up some large sects as a new disciple. However, you were still a distance apart from those first-tier geniuses, but after a few years, you caught up and became the number one genius. Your growth didn’t stop and surpassed those geniuses, rivaling that of old masters. You also had many lucky encounters and received many treasures and inheritances from dead cultivators. You even managed to find the complete version of the Dragon Mammoth Transformation martial method from the Allfist realm.”

“How did Master know?”

Juedai Fenghua rolled her eyes. “I guessed.”

“Really?”

She nodded. “Don’t you feel that your life story is a bit like a ?”

“Is it?”

Juedai Fenghua shook her shoulders. “Go read some more s on the Xiyi Talisman if you have some time, especially those by the author, Ultimate Young Master.”

“Okay?” Leng Junfeng didn’t know why he should waste time on such a futile activity when he should cultivate, but since his master said it, he’ll do it.

“Anyways, hurry up and tell me what happened after you entered the Huang Realm.” After listening to Leng Junfeng recount what happened to him since he appeared in the Huang Realm, Juedai Fenghua smirked, “So, how does it feel to ascend to the skies in one step and not need to start from the bottom again?”

“Huh?” Soon, Leng Junfeng realized what Juedai Fenghua meant. “To be honest, I’m still not used to it.”

Juedai Fenghua laughed. “Do you think someone will try to target you because of your connection to my main body? I mean, you should have experienced many troubles with fellow disciples troubling you after joining them in the mid and high-rank realms.”

“Will they not?” Leng Junfeng asked. “Your main body just became a grand elder. Surely, many aren’t happy with him gaining so much power at such a you—so fast.”

“You were about to say ‘at such a young age, weren’t you?” Hearing no answer, Juedai Fenghua knew she had guessed right. “You don’t have to worry about that. Xi Tianyi’s importance to the Immortal Court is beyond your imagination. You don’t need to fear people finding trouble with you. Instead they will fear you finding trouble with them.”

“Really?” Leng Junfeng asked. Experience had taught him many things, so he couldn’t fully believe Juedai Fenghua.

“Time will prove my words,” Juedai Fenghua said. “You should prepare for your competition with your fellow disciples first. Afterward, you can cultivate with a peace of mind.”

“I won’t lose,” Leng Junfeng said. Even if Jinshu had been raised in the Huang Realm all his life and guided by Xi Tianyi, he didn’t think he would lose.

Juedai Fenghua didn’t dissuade Leng Junfeng from his expectations. Instead, she held her chin. “I wonder, how fast do you think it will take you to reach the peak of the Huang Realm? Your environment is safe and there are no true enemies for you under my main body’s protection. Although… I wonder if the speed of your cultivation will rise without danger accompanying you.”

Leng Junfeng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Master, it’s not like I see disaster wherever I go. If I can cultivate in peace and quiet, I’d be happy too.”

“Peace and quiet is good,” Juedai Fenghua said. “But don’t you know that excitement is the spice of life?”

He laughed. “Master, I heard that you haven’t crossed your Immortal Ascension Heavenly Tribulation. Do you need my help?”

Juedai Fenghua rolled her eyes. “If I needed help, I’d ask my main body, not you. He can help me far more than you. Besides, I’m currently comprehending the Law of Six Desires. I’ll undergo my Immortal Ascension Heavenly Tribulation once I fully master it. If you aren’t careful, I might directly become an immortal monarch while you’re still a true immortal.”

The two shared a laugh. Leng Junfeng silently swore to become an immortal monarch as fast as possible.

“Well, it’s been nice catching up. I need to go now, busy comprehending a worldly law and all.”

“Wait!”

Juedai Fenghua’s movements stopped. “Is there something else?”

“When are you going to return to the Huang Realm?” Leng Junfeng asked.

“Hmm, probably not until I become a true immortal,” Juedai Fenghua said. “If there’s nothing else, bye.”

“Goodbye, Master,” Leng Junfeng said, hiding his disappointment. Once the call ended, the pressure on his shoulders lightened. Now that he knew Xi Tianyi truly was his master’s main body. He didn’t think the master he spoke to was a fake. Even if her aura was replicated, Leng Junfeng believed that he could distinguish between real and fake.

With a peace of mind, Leng Junfeng gathered all his friends and family to discuss their future plans. It wasn’t difficult. For now, they would attempt to integrate into the Huang Realm as much as possible. Perhaps even joining the Cultivator Alliance before becoming official members of the Immortal Court.

Those that could cultivate converted to the Five Element Method. Unlike Gao Xuehua who formed the Dragon Qi Core, their cultivation method was based on the five elements, so switching to the Five Element Method didn’t require them to reform their spiritual core. Although their foundation couldn’t compare to someone who cultivated the Five Element Method from the beginning, it would be superior to their previous methods.

As for Leng Junfeng, he entered secluded cultivation for the next six days. He didn’t immediately cultivate the original version of the Five Element Method given to him, but integrated his breakthrough in the Law of Wind. A week later, he exited the mansion and saw Su Bojing awaiting him.

"Let’s go, Young Master is waiting,” Su Bojing said as the Elderlight Boat flew from his palm and increased in size. After the two stepped onto it, it streaked across the sky toward the Immortal Court.

The boat flew into the lake at the center of the Trinity Continent after a few hours. After another hour of flying, a thick mist surrounded them. Leng Junfeng felt the abnormality of the mist and wanted to dispel it, but Su Bojing stopped him. “Don’t take action. To enter the Immortal Court, you have to navigate through the Lunar Reflection Mist.”

Leng Junfeng stopped and released his spiritual sense. To his surprise, he lost all sense of direction, and he could no longer differentiate left from right, or top from bottom. If someone wanted to attack him, he would be at a major disadvantage. More than that, he didn’t know how long it would take him to escape.

“We’re here,” Su Bojing said after another hour.

Leng Junfeng looked up to see the Mortal Severance Gate. From his viewpoint, it appeared to be stationed on a floating piece of land barely large enough to fit it. He couldn’t see anything from the right to the left of it.

Under Su Bojing’s control, the Elderlight Boat flew into the Mortal Severance Gate, and after passing, the mystical land of the Immortal Court revealed itself once more. When Leng Junfeng looked back, he could see the edge extending past the Mortal Severance Gate.

It really was a mystical experience. The most terrifying part was that he couldn’t detect the changes. It was as if he was a mortal that didn’t understand cultivation again. Regardless of his thoughts, the Elderlight Boat flew towards Nine Heavens Peak. It didn’t fly to the Ninth Mountain, but to the Fifth Mountain. Unlike the other mountains, the Fifth Mountain had no structures and was the designated location for fighting or to undergo a heavenly tribulation.

When the Elderlight Boat landed Leng Junfeng could see Xi Tianyi, Ming Xingyun, and Jinshu appear out of nowhere. Leng Junfeng jumped off the boat and saluted Xi Tianyi. “Master.”

“En,” Tianyi grunted. “Since you’re here, let’s start the sparring sessions now. Xingyun, you will fight Junfeng first.”

“Understood, Master,” Ming Xingyun said.

Leng Junfeng nodded, too. Not long later, both of them stood across from each other in a clearing.

“Immortal Court member, Ming Xingyun, please advise,” Ming Xingyun said with a cupped fist.

Leng Junfeng returned her gesture. “Leng Junfeng…Immortal Court member, please advise.”

Ming Xingyun didn’t waste any words and drew the sword from her back. She charged at Leng Junfeng with the sword raised high above her head. Once Leng Junfeng entered her range, she slashed the sword down.

Leng Junfeng didn’t change his stance and raised his hand, intending on grabbing her sword. He was a true immortal in both the spiritual and martial path. With his advantages, he didn’t think a world merging venerable would pose much threat to him. Unfortunately, he miscalculated.

The ground beneath Leng Junfeng shattered as he fell to his knees. He could hear several cracks originating from his hand and arms.

Ming Xingyun didn’t press her assault and took a few steps back. “Senior Brother, don’t underestimate me just because I’m only a venerable. According to Master, my physical strength surpasses most true immortals.”

Leng Junfeng's right arm hung limply against his side but he stood back up. The cracks beneath him disappeared in the process. “It was my fault. I underestimated Junior Sister. It won’t happen again.”
