277: See you again!

The Qingxuan Sect is their home, and even more, it is now the recognized Holy Land for Cultivation in the entire Northern Wilderness State. Regardless of one's status or the reason for joining the Qingxuan Sect.

All Cultivators are incredibly proud of their identity as Disciples of the Qingxuan Sect, and at the same time, they cherish the time they can spend Cultivating within the Qingxuan Sect.

Their sense of belonging to the Qingxuan Sect is unparalleled!

But now, if you tell them that in the future, there is a high possibility of a powerful enemy annihilating the Qingxuan Sect, everyone would be furious!

They cannot accept such an outcome in their hearts, so one hundred thousand Disciples began extremely self-disciplined Cultivation.

Basically, everyone has stopped leaving any rest time for themselves; they don't even have time to sleep. Every day, they are either sitting in meditation to Cultivate or fighting against Puppets on the arena!

Some have even gone further, living directly on the Path to Ascension, enduring pressure that pushes their bodies to the brink of collapse day and night to Cultivate.

Whenever they adapt to the current pressure, they force themselves to climb up another level.

Relying on this near self-mutilating method, they force the cultivation base within their bodies to remain in an extremely active state at all times.

The most insane Disciple among them has not come down from the Path to Ascension since hearing the news announced by Ling Tian.

For more than two whole years, this group of people has gone without sleep or rest, actually stimulating the deepest potential within their hearts!

The most stunning among them has actually climbed to the 3,521st level, already exceeding one-third of the Path to Ascension.

At the same time, their cultivation base has also broken through very quickly; the highest cultivation base has already reached the Mahayana Early Stage!

Under such high pressure, the current Qingxuan Sect has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to before; the average cultivation base of the Disciples has risen to around the Soul Transformation Middle Stage.

Void Refining Cultivators are everywhere, and there are even dozens of Mahayana Cultivators.

Of course, being able to achieve such progress is mainly thanks to the Breakthrough Medicinal Pill provided by Lu Hao, as well as the abundant Spiritual Qi and various Advanced Cultivation Techniques.

At this very moment, there is still no change within the Qingxuan Sect; they are completely unaware that the disaster they were about to face has already been stifled in the cradle by Lu Hao.

They are even less aware that Lu Hao is already on his way back to the Qingxuan Sect at this very moment.

...

At Qing Xuan Prefecture.

Ling Tian stands on the cliff, gazing into the distance, as if wanting to see his only Disciple.

Behind him, Mu Siyuan slowly walks to Ling Tian's side, cups his hands, and says:

"Grandmaster, the Sect Master asked me to pass a message to you, saying that the alternate Disciples of the Qingxuan Sect have all been selected. They will soon be settled in a place very far away from the Qingxuan Sect, where they will start a new Sect."

"Although the name is different, it is still a branch of our Qingxuan Sect."

Hearing his grand-Disciple's words, Ling Tian slowly turns around and says:

"Alright, I understand. This way, I can finally set my mind at ease a little. At the very least, no matter what happens to our Qingxuan Sect, there will always be a spark left behind."

Mu Siyuan looks up at his Grandmaster. Over these two years, Ling Tian has been in a state of extreme anxiety.

Looking at him now, there is unparalleled exhaustion and confusion hidden in the corners of his eyes.

Presumably, the pressure brought by the Mo Lin Sect matter on Grandmaster is a bit too much...

Ling Tian has long since become the one in charge of the Qingxuan Sect. He cares deeply about everything in the Sect, not to mention matters of life and death.

"Sigh... Siyuan... where do you think your Master is now? It's been over three years. Aside from the last time he had someone bring me some Kunpeng meat, there has been no news."

"And your Junior Brother, who left for Danling State two years ago and hasn't returned yet. Do you think he is alright? Could something have happened to him on the road..."

"I am especially worried about them running into trouble now. After I took your Master as a Disciple, for over five years, he almost never left the Sect. Even though his cultivation base is extremely high, the outside Cultivation world is very dangerous."

"I worry that he might be cheated by others outside..."

"Sigh... People get old, and they always like to think about one thing or another. I'm not as optimistic as I used to be..."

Mu Siyuan sighs on the side as well. In his heart, he is also very worried about his Master.

However, he also knows that his Master has many supreme treasures by his side; barring any accidents, self-preservation shouldn't be a problem.

It is actually his Junior Brother who worries him the most. He only has the cultivation base of Undergoing Tribulation; outside, that is truly average.

"Alright, let's go back. I'm going to check on the Disciples' Cultivation progress. Siyuan, you must also Cultivate well. Once the fight begins, you will be the last trump card of our Qingxuan Sect."

"Grandmaster, I will definitely give it my all!"

...

On the Devouring Demon Coast, a void-breaking ship sails in quickly and then stops steadily at the shore.

Standing at the bow is a young man in white, followed by a little boy, and behind him are three women of various beauties who are happily playing mahjong with an ox.

Dugu Litian stands silently at the side of the ship, looking at the Northern Wilderness State, his eyes filled with excitement!

"Hahaha, Northern Wilderness State, I have finally returned!"

Lu Hao, standing at the bow, lets out a loud laugh, then leaps off the bow, his figure instantly disappearing from everyone's sight.

"As your Master, I am returning to the Qingxuan Sect first. You all follow Dugu Litian."

Lu Hao's voice echoes out. Everyone rises and looks at Dugu Litian.

Yin Xiaotong says:

"Second Senior Brother, please lead the way. It's my first time coming to Master's Sect!"

"That's right, I am very expectant right now. I wonder just how powerful the Sect that could train a Sect Master like Master really is!"

"Moo, moo, moo!"

"Hmm? Alright, then let's ride on Brother Ox's back."

Everyone lands on the back of the Stubborn Ox, and then they are carried by the Stubborn Ox toward the Qingxuan Sect.

Walking the road they took before, the Stubborn Ox also feels a bit emotional.

With Lu Hao's Ascension Perfection cultivation base, the mere Northern Wilderness State can be reached in a single thought!

The moment after he disappeared from the Devouring Demon Coast, Lu Hao appeared on the highest peak of the Qing Xuan Prefecture.

Ling Tian and Mu Siyuan have not left yet; they were just about to leave.

"Master, it's been years. I hope you have been well."

Lu Hao's calm words ring out, lingering over the entire Qing Xuan Prefecture.

Ling Tian, who was just about to leave, feels his body tremble instantly upon hearing these words. With disbelief in his eyes, he turns his head quickly and sees Lu Hao standing before him.

"Disciple?!"

"Master, could it be that you don't recognize me anymore?"
