I won't accept this apprentice.

But the next moment, Liu Yun spoke.

"Do you know what kind of existence those who harmed me are now?"

"They are an existence that stands tall in the entire Central Continent."

"Even if I return to the Peak in the future, it's hard to say if I can pull them down."

"You'll solve it? That's truly laughable."

She looked at Zhong Qing.

There was a look on her face as if she was looking at an idiot.

Regarding what Zhong Qing said, whether it was returning to the Peak in five years or taking revenge, she naturally didn't believe any of it.

The slight good impression she had of Zhong Qing worsened because of this.

"I hope this is the last time we meet. If there's a next time and you come knocking on my door again, speaking presumptuously without knowing the immensity of heaven and earth,"

"Then I will kill you on the spot."

"In my life, I despise those who speak false and presumptuous words the most."

Seeing this, Zhong Qing couldn't help but rub his forehead.

Everything he said was the truth, so how did he become someone who spoke false and presumptuous words?

This precious Disciple of his, she's overbearing, but isn't she a bit too arrogant?

If he had been bound to some Disciple-taking System, he might have just given in to her.

"Miss Liu Yun, why don't you believe me? Becoming my Disciple, you won't lose out."

"Your four Senior Brothers and Sisters are all doing quite well now."

Zhong Qing coaxed, continuing to approach.

But the more Zhong Qing acted this way, the more disgusted Liu Yun became.

Her eyes revealed unrestrained anger.

With a flick of her sleeve, a pure cold ice suddenly rose from the ground.

The cold ice shot up, directly blocking the path between the two.

"Being human, one should have self-awareness."

"Also, a reminder to you."

"Don't think that because your cultivation is impressive and you have a Qilin by your side, you are invincible. You might escape from the Phoenix Feather Sect for a while, but you might not be able to escape forever."

"Although the Qilin's Bloodline is Heaven-Defying, it is ultimately just a cub. If the dozens of veteran Returning to One Realm powerhouses of the Phoenix Feather Sect dispatch to find you, you will definitely not be able to escape."

At this point, Liu Yun paused.

"If I were you, I would now try every possible way to escape the Chaotic Land."

"Instead of fantasizing about taking me as a Disciple, that's simply a fool's dream, making one a laughingstock."

"Truly an ant with a heart higher than the heavens!"

How arrogant Liu Yun was; in her eyes, no matter how talented Zhong Qing was, compared to herself, he was still far, far behind.

After all, in her previous life, she had seen too many so-called Geniuses.

With that, she sneered, then flew away directly, leaving Zhong Qing alone in his original spot.

Zhong Qing was stunned for a moment.

He came to take a Disciple, but why was he lectured by her right off the bat?

Anyone who didn't know would think he was a simp!

Zhong Qing looked up at the blue figure disappearing into the mountains, his eyes complex.

"Ding, friendly reminder: the Disciple-taking mission cannot be forcefully taken, otherwise you will suffer a backlash."

The System's voice suddenly rang out.

"Sigh!"

Zhong Qing sighed heavily, took out the swallowing sky gourd, and took a big gulp.

He couldn't help but think of his obedient Disciples.

Whether it was Lin Feng or Su Ye, which one wasn't an obedient good child?

None of them had such a difficult time when they were taken in.

He had sought her out repeatedly to take her as a Disciple, but was repeatedly rejected. Her words just now made it seem like he was a simp.

With her Heart-Nature, even if he were to take her as a Disciple and bring her back to Mufu Peak, wouldn't she cause chaos within his own Sect?

"Alright."

"To hell with you."

"I'm not taking this Disciple!"

"I can do without a Disciple, but I will absolutely not be a simp!"

"I can take thousands of millions of nominal Disciples, and it's the same!"

Swoosh!

The stern-faced Zhong Qing transformed into a streak of light and flew directly back to his current base camp, the Phoenix Feather Sect.

...

A few days later.

Phoenix Feather Sect.

Already a colossal entity at the Peak of the entire Chaotic Land, it had stood proudly in the Chaotic Land for countless tens of thousands of years.

And ever since the return of the second-generation Divine Bird this time, the Phoenix Feather Sect's dominant position had become even more solidified.

For some time now, the entire Sect had been full of vitality and prosperity.

At this moment.

Within the mountain gate.

Sect Leader Feng Buqun, with his immortal-like demeanor, stood atop the towering pillar in the vast mountain gate plaza.

Standing before him were over ten thousand Senior Brothers.

Suddenly.

In the vast sky.

A Phoenix cry.

A resplendent figure flew out from among the Phoenix Feather Sect's mountains.

Its multicolored wings spread completely, almost entirely obscuring the sunlight.

The more than ten thousand Senior Brothers all looked up simultaneously, their eyes filled with deep longing.

Their bodies also involuntarily bent in reverence.

Led by Feng Buqun, the multitude of Senior Brothers all bowed deeply.

Soaring and flapping its wings in the sky.

It was precisely the Phoenix Feather Sect's second-generation Divine Bird, Little Ga.

Facing the extremely respectful posture of the Senior Brothers.

Little Ga in the sky seemed to be responding to them.

It cried out another Phoenix cry, and at the same time, it flapped its wings.

The wings, which almost obscured the sky, shed a few strands of flowing light feathers with a few shakes.

As soon as the feathers fell, Little Ga's figure landed on the mountain gate sculpture.

The Sect plaza regained sunlight, and the sunlight shone on those few feathers. The Senior Brothers present looked at the feathers with deep hope.

The next moment, the few strands of feathers disintegrated in the sunlight.

With an almost inaudible shattering sound, the disintegrated feathers transformed into pure Phoenix Yu Profound Qi falling from the sky.

The multicolored Phoenix Yu Profound Qi condensed into clumps and floated down.

It completely poured onto the Senior Brothers in the mountain gate plaza.

In an instant, exclamations of shock and cheers rang out among the crowd.

"I've broken through!"

"Phew! Is this the feeling of the Myriad Laws Realm?! Heaven and earth are with me, all working together!"

"Hmm?! I faintly seem to have touched the realm of Returning to One Realm!"

Even Feng Buqun held his breath; his Profound Qi, which was still somewhat unstable in the Returning to One Realm, solidified a few points at this moment.

Feng Buqun showed a satisfied smile, and the dozen or so Elders behind him did the same.

At present, all more than ten thousand Senior Brothers had experienced different degrees of strength improvement.

And all of this was merely one of Little Ga's routine appearances!

The Phoenix Feather Sect, when it was founded, was led and established by a Divine Bird. Even the entire Sect's Cultivation Technique System was centered around the Divine Bird's spirit.

Now that the Divine Bird had returned to its place, even a slight Qi from Little Ga could directly cause all the Sect members' Profound Qi to resonate.

Naturally, cultivation became twice as effective with half the effort!
