A good fate

The moon hung at the brow of the mountains, and the stars were embedded in the sky like jewels.

Over the mountains and land, it was as if a silver veil had been draped.

At the Peak of the mountain, Sword Wushuang held a jar of strong wine, leaning against the moon.

For him, his recent experiences felt like a dream.

The blood feud of many years had been avenged, and he could even enter the coveted Central State, becoming a disciple of a peerless expert.

With blurry, drunken eyes, he lifted the wine jar, toasted distantly towards the south, and then poured it out.

"Master, fellow disciples, if you knew of my current situation, I believe you would rest in peace in the netherworld."

This toast was for his long-departed sect.

This toast was also Sword Wushuang's way of letting go of the past.

Under the myriad starlight and moonlight, an ethereal glow emanated from his body.

At this moment, he had entered a wondrous state.

Sword Wushuang had risen to fame at a young age, possessing a special Physique.

Later, he suffered betrayal from his beloved, his Sword Bone was stolen, his fellow disciples died tragically, and he himself was left with only a wisp of remnant soul that fled.

After wandering for over four hundred years, he met Lin Feng, and with his help, he avenged his great enemy. Not only did he return to his Peak, but he also advanced further, gaining a broad and bright future.

Under such great ups and downs, having experienced the joys and sorrows of life, at this moment, his emotions were stirred. He felt as if he had shed his impurities, cast off his old self, and welcomed a new life.

He had entered a deep state of Epiphany into the Dao.

In this state, his comprehension of the Dao reached an astonishing level.

The boundless Spiritual Qi continuously surged into his Physical Body, causing him, who had just broken through to the Three Yin One Realm, to show signs of another Breakthrough.

At this moment, on the other side of the mountain, Ling Wushuang, who was originally stargazing, suddenly moved his gaze.

The guard Ling Yuan's expression also changed: "Master, someone is having a Breakthrough!"

"Let's go see!"

As Ling Wushuang's words fell, his body had already disappeared from its original spot.

Ling Yuan followed closely behind him.

The next moment, both of them appeared above the clouds.

They saw Sword Wushuang, who was in the midst of a Breakthrough.

As Sword Wushuang's guard, Ling Yuan's cultivation and insight were naturally not low. At this moment, his face could not hide his disappointment.

"I originally thought I would encounter a Prodigy who could make it onto the Heavenly Dao Rankings."

"I didn't expect it to be just an ordinary Cultivator who got lucky and entered an Epiphany."

In his eyes, although Sword Wushuang's Physical Body age was not great, judging from the fluctuations of his soul light, he had lived for at least five hundred years.

To Cultivate to the Sanyin Realm at five hundred years old, this talent might be considered a Genius in a small, ordinary sect.

But in his opinion, it was truly very ordinary.

His own Master, at less than ten years old, had already entered this Realm.

Such a person, let alone being selected for the Heavenly Dao Rankings, would probably only be considered average among the Prodigies in the entire Chaotic Land.

"Master, there's nothing to see with a small Cultivator breaking through. Shall we go somewhere else?"

Ling Wushuang shook his head.

"For an ordinary Cultivator to enter an Epiphany state, it might be the greatest Opportunity of their life."

"If they were disturbed by a fierce beast in the mountains, it would be a huge loss for them."

"Meeting is also a kind of fate."

"I'll stay here and protect him for a while, which can be considered as forming a good connection."

Ling Yuan was somewhat indignant. What kind of status did his Master have, to actually protect a small, unknown Cultivator?

Of course, despite his indignation, he naturally would not question his Master's decision.

"He's quite lucky then!"

"If he knew that Master protected him, he would probably be able to boast about it for his entire life."

In the blink of an eye, a night had passed.

As the sun rose and the moon set, a loud roar was heard. After a night of Cultivation, Sword Wushuang finally crossed from the Three Yin One Realm to the Three Yin Two Realms.

Of course, the gains from this Epiphany were far more than that.

Although his Realm only increased by one small Realm, this Epiphany allowed him to clarify his path forward.

In other words, before the Three Yang Three Realm, he would not encounter any Bottleneck.

And judging by the resources provided by the Heavenly Dao Institute, he would become a Three Yang Three Realm expert in a very short time.

The Heaven-Defying attributes of his Sword Bone and Heavy Pupils finally began to show their sharpness at this moment.

Sword Wushuang's mind was uplifted. At this moment, he felt that he had truly undergone a complete transformation.

It wouldn't be long before his Sword Bone and Heavy Pupils would form a true Sword Body and Heavy Pupil Body.

However, very quickly, he let out a surprised sound.

Around him, a layer of restriction had appeared at some point.

This restriction held no malice towards him; rather, it was to protect his Breakthrough from external interference.

"Thank you for your help. May I ask you to show yourself?"

How could Sword Wushuang not understand that he had encountered a kind-hearted person?

He immediately called out loudly to his surroundings.

The next moment!

Ling Wushuang revealed himself from above the clouds.

He smiled and said, "It was just a small effort."

"Now that you have broken through, I should also make my graceful exit!"

The moment he saw the other person's true appearance, even Sword Wushuang couldn't help but sigh inwardly, what a graceful and elegant young man.

In terms of temperament and appearance alone, among all the people he had met, perhaps only Master Zhong Qing could steadily surpass him.

He said loudly, "They say a drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring. Your Excellency has shown me the kindness of protecting my Dao. If I do not repay this kindness, my heart will not be at ease. If Your Excellency does not disdain it, would you be willing to come down and share a drink, and become friends?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yuan, who was beside him, couldn't sit still.

This boy truly didn't know what was good for him.

What was his Master's status? What was his status?

Not only was his Master protecting him, but he also wanted to be friends with his Master.

Are you even worthy?

However, before he could open his mouth to reprimand him, Ling Wushuang smiled and said, "Alright!"

For Ling Wushuang, the word 'friend' was both unfamiliar and novel.

He had Cultivated for many years, growing up amidst the praise and accolades of his fellow disciples and elders.

Some of his Junior Brothers, upon seeing him, were nothing but exceptionally respectful, even awestruck.

It was as if there was a natural barrier between him and them.

When he was young, he didn't understand what those barriers were. It wasn't until he grew older that he realized everyone had their own circles.

Genius and Genius also had differences in their circles.

And he was a unique existence within the Genius circle.

He had tried to break through that circle before, but clearly, prejudice in people's hearts was a great mountain that couldn't be broken just because you wanted to.

Those fellow Junior Brothers only knew to respect him, fear him, and worship him, placing him on a high pedestal.

Little did they know, it was lonely at the top!

At this moment, hearing someone, neither humble nor arrogant, wanting to be friends with him, gave Ling Wushuang a long-lost sense of excitement.

He agreed on the spot.

"Sword Wushuang!"

"Ling Wushuang!"

After exchanging names, their eyes lit up unconsciously.

Though it was their first meeting, there was a sense of time-worn familiarity, as if they had known each other for a long time.

Only Ling Yuan, beside them, was very uncomfortable.

He really wanted to question Sword Wushuang, "What class are you?"

A small piece of trash who took five hundred years to reach the Sanyin Realm, is he even worthy of the name Wushuang?
