I think the master is relatively poor.

“Hoo! Seventeenth Shixiong, since the Divine Bird returned to its place, the Disciples within our Sect have made rapid progress!”

“Even we in the Returning to One Realm have gained insights.”

“I had thought that I would never have a chance at the next Realm in this life, but now it seems that it might not be impossible within my lifetime!”

Nine Elder walked forward, feeling content.

Feng Buqun stroked his beard, looking at the second-generation Divine Bird on the mountain gate statue, his expression extremely blissful.

That was natural.

It was precisely because of the existence of the first-generation Divine Bird that the Phoenix Feather Sect was able to stand proudly in the Chaotic Land for so many years.

Even after the first-generation Divine Bird disappeared, the Phoenix Feather Sect was still able to dominate a region through its earlier accumulations.

And now, the return of the second-generation Divine Bird.

It was planning a brand new, bright future for the Phoenix Feather Sect!

“With Divine Bird, our Phoenix Feather Sect will surely be able to break out of the Chaotic Land and ascend to a higher place!”

“Come! Let us bow and thank Divine Bird!”

As Feng Buqun’s words fell, more than ten thousand Senior Brothers present simultaneously raised their heads to look at Little Ga, standing high up.

They rose again to bow.

But after bowing, when everyone looked up again.

The Divine Bird, standing high, had actually transformed into a small, tiny bird.

Before they could understand, Little Ga, in its small bird state, chirped sharply.

“Master! You’re back!”

The next moment, Zhong Qing had already transformed into a streak of light and landed beside Little Ga high up.

“Master, Master! Chirp chirp chirp chirp!”

“Master! I’ve completed the task you gave me to fly around here once every day!”

Upon seeing Zhong Qing, Little Ga immediately transformed from its Divine Bird form, which had wings covering the sky, into a half-human-sized state.

It wrapped itself around Zhong Qing’s feet, like a small, dependent bird.

The reason for shrinking when seeing its Master was told to him by Little Black.

That day, Little Black earnestly told Little Ga.

He said, even though you’ve grown up, if you make Master look up at you.

Then you’re finished.

Little Ga kept this in mind.

However, at this moment, the Senior Brothers in the lower area felt very complicated in their hearts when they saw this scene.

Their own Divine Bird, why did it always act like a pet in front of Zhong Qing, completely losing its majestic and powerful appearance?

But fortunately, everyone had long since adapted and gotten used to it.

Furthermore, Zhong Qing was now their Master.

So even if their own Divine Beast acted like a lackey, it wasn’t for outsiders!

“Master, good morning!”

Feng Buqun respectfully spoke with full vigor.

The next moment, more than ten thousand Senior Brothers simultaneously bowed respectfully: “Master, good morning!”

Ten thousand voices in unison, this momentum shook the mountain gate.

In the surrounding verdant mountains.

Wild beasts and immortal birds were startled, flying in all directions, chirping incessantly.

Zhong Qing, high up, looked at the more than ten thousand respectful Named Disciples below.

In his heart, he felt somewhat comfortable.

Putting everything else aside, compared to that stubborn Liu Yun.

This was what a Disciple should be like!

Zhong Qing nodded indifferently, and at the same time, he clearly felt a slight increase in his Realm.

Although the increase wasn't much, a fly's leg is still meat, isn't it?

Moreover, he didn’t have to worry about these more than ten thousand Named Disciples.

This increase in cultivation was practically a free gain.

Compared to Liu Yun, they were simply more than ten thousand good babies who respected their Master and revered the Dao!

Recalling this.

Zhong Qing stood on the sculpture, he waved his hand and spoke clearly.

“Today, I am idle.”

“You are all my Disciples, and I usually don’t have much time to truly teach you.”

“So today, it’s a good time to hold a competition.”

“Those who perform excellently will be granted Cultivation Techniques and weapons.”

“Go and prepare yourselves.”

High up, Zhong Qing finished speaking, tapped his foot, and his figure disappeared again.

Little Ga chirped on the high platform, chasing after him closely.

Little Ga fluttered, and more immortal feathers fell.

The Senior Brothers below once again genuinely experienced the profound mysteries of the Mystic Bird essence.

And finally, Zhong Qing’s last words about granting Cultivation Techniques and weapons made everyone’s hearts burn with enthusiasm.

In an instant, everyone’s gaze became fervent.

Even Sect Leader Feng Buqun couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.

This Master of theirs, whom they couldn’t see through or fathom.

Suddenly said he wanted to give them treasures.

This naturally made everyone look forward to it infinitely.

Recalling this, Feng Buqun respectfully cupped his hands towards the direction Zhong Qing had left.

“Thank you, Master!”

“I will prepare the competition immediately!”

...

A competition.

For a huge Phoenix Feather Sect.

Preparation was naturally extremely swift.

Phoenix Feather Sect.

Great Grace Peak.

On top of the mountain peak was a huge martial arts arena.

Great Grace Peak was located on the south side of the Phoenix Feather Sect’s mountains, and the entire peak had an extremely wide base.

In terms of mountain roots.

It was almost the most profound among countless mountains.

But its wide mountain trend was abruptly cut off at the halfway point of the mountain.

The broken mountain trend formed an extremely wide platform.

This platform was the martial arts arena used for competitions within the Phoenix Feather Sect.

The Great Grace Peak platform was vast, with more than ten thousand Senior Brothers gathered in one place, surrounding an open area on the mountain top platform.

In the very center of the open area, Feng Buqun and Six Elder stood together, preparing the rules for the competition.

“Senior Brother, Master said to hold a martial arts competition, and there are Cultivation Techniques and weapons to be granted, aren’t you and I participating?”

Six Elder squinted his eyes, rubbing his chubby hands on his chin, clearly having some objections to this decision.

Feng Buqun, however, rolled his eyes at him, tugged at the emblem on the chest of his Mystic Bird robe, and said proudly.

“I think you’re being a bit shameless. I am the Sect Leader and you are an Elder.”

“If it’s a competition for over ten thousand Senior Brothers, and you and I enter, what suspense would there be in the competition? How would the juniors below view it then?”

As he spoke, Feng Buqun glanced around, then quietly lowered his voice and leaned close to Six Elder, speaking in a low voice: “Moreover, I estimate that our Master’s pockets are probably a bit tight. If we don’t participate, it can relieve some pressure on him!”

Upon hearing this, Six Elder’s eyes flashed.

“Senior Brother, why do you say that?”

“Master has been recognized by the first-generation Divine Bird, and has a Qilin recognizing him as Master, so how could his pockets be tight?”

Their figures involuntarily drew closer.

Feng Buqun said thoughtfully: “Do you still remember?”

“Where was it when Master first interacted with our Phoenix Feather Sect?”

Six Elder’s eyes moved, “It was at the Mystic Realm Mine! Master not only absorbed the Profound Qi from the mine but also took away the secret treasure, the swallowing sky gourd!”

Feng Buqun narrowed his eyes, his beard and hair fluttering, and he said decisively: “According to my speculation, Master went to the Mystic Realm Mine at that time precisely for that swallowing sky gourd!”

“Think again, doesn’t Master carry the swallowing sky gourd with him every day? Can this not explain the problem?”

Six Elder pondered, “In this cultivation world, it’s about concealing one’s strengths.”

“And Master carrying that swallowing sky gourd at his waist every day clearly has a bit of a showing-off intention, but generally, those with many treasures don’t usually show them off. ”

“Plus, Master has never displayed or worn any other treasures…”

At this point, the two exchanged glances.

Feng Buqun raised his chin, signaling his good Junior Brother to continue his independent thinking.

“I understand, I’m afraid the only thing Master has that he can show off is that swallowing sky gourd, and that’s why he carries it with him every day!”
