The mushroom resembled a funnel, drawing in all the gathered spiritual energy and channeling it into a cave on Purple Cloud Peak.
All eyes on Shaoyang Mountain were drawn to the mushroom. Was today not the day of the Xu Family's breakthrough? They had just produced a Great Perfection Stage cultivator, and now there was movement at Purple Cloud Peak.
The mushroom's presence was nowhere near as overwhelming as the massive surge of spiritual energy caused by Xu Huiying's emergence, which signified an ascension to the Divine Separation Stage.
While a Divine Separation Stage cultivator was considered a master within the Xu Family, it was still not enough to attract the attention of major factions.
Shen Nan congratulated again, "Congratulations, Patriarch, on this double joy."
Xu Duo Chou appeared excited, equally as thrilled as when Xu Huiying had just emerged. He chuckled lightly and asked, "Do you know which disciple of the Xu Family has ascended?"
Seeing him hold back, Shen Nan sensed there was more to it and inquired, "Which esteemed disciple of the Xu Family is it?"
"The Xu Family Golden Blade Disciple, Xu Feng."
Shen Nan was taken aback. "Is it him? This child truly is extraordinary; very good, very good." Shen Nan had once asked Shen Gong to gift Xu Feng a Jade Eye Tablet, but Xu Feng had never looked at it.
Upon witnessing this commotion, Xu Mo and Xu Huiying realized that Xu Feng had ascended to the Divine Separation Stage.
Xu Mo had been closely monitoring Xu Feng. These past decades were crucial for him; if he could not ascend, he would be hard-pressed to escape Silverbeard's lethal strike. Now that he had successfully ascended, there was little joy in it for him, considering Silverbeard was a Great Achievement Stage Cultivator. Even if Xu Duo Chou intervened, victory was not guaranteed.
Xu Huiying felt inspired by her brief encounter with Xu Feng and his half-hearted encouragement. Her determination to cultivate diligently led her to success; thus, she owed part of her achievement to Xu Feng.
The mushroom cloud in the sky lingered for half a moment before gradually dissipating.
Suddenly, a loud shout echoed as a Crystal Fist Seal, about four to five meters wide, shot through the air. Following that, another figure burst forth from Purple Cloud Peak. The figure unleashed ten punches in succession against the sky, each one more powerful than the last.
After eighty years of hard cultivation, Xu Feng finally found his path and used the Earth System Power King Fist as an opportunity to successfully ascend as a Divine Separation Stage Cultivator.
Xu Feng's Great Strength King Fist has reached the second level in recent years.
In the Sky, Xu Feng unleashed ten punches, each creating a massive fist imprint as if trying to break through the air. Those Divine Separation Stage Cultivators who initially dismissed him were secretly alarmed. They thought to themselves, "Damn, he just advanced and already possesses such strength. As a Mid Stage of Spirit Separation, I might not even be able to produce such powerful fist imprints."
The transparent fist imprints were white with a hint of yellow, shining with golden light whenever the sunlight hit them.
Seeing Xu Feng make a grand exit, Xu Mo turned to Xu Duo Chou and asked, "Elder, isn't Xu Feng a practitioner of Fire Element Technique? How did he advance to Divine Separation Stage using Earth Element?"
Xu Duo Chou replied, "This is indeed unexpected. I initially thought he specialized in Fire Element One Star, but it turns out he practices both Fire and Earth. No wonder he emerged with such strength; it seems his challenge against Silverbeard was not a spur-of-the-moment decision but rather a calculated move."
Xu Huiying said, "Head of the family, the feud of our Xu family should be resolved by us. Let me handle the challenge against Silverbeard."
Xu Mo responded, "It's not that simple; now is not the time for us to take action."
Shen Nandao remarked, "I have faith in Xu Feng. There are still twenty years left; who knows who will prevail? If Xu Feng truly wins, it would undoubtedly be the greatest miracle in Zheguo's history."
Xu Feng paused in the Sky for a moment to calm his internal spiritual power before turning back down to pay his respects to several elders.
"Xu Feng greets the Head of the Family, Grand Elder, and Senior Shen." Finally, he addressed Xu Huiying, saying, "Congratulations on your Great Achievement, Senior."
Xu Huiying smiled and replied, "My successful advancement also owes much to you. If it weren't for your chivalry inspiring me, I wouldn't have found that opportunity for advancement." The others then realized that the two had previously interacted.
Xu Feng said, "I should be thanking you, Senior." It was indeed Xu Huiying's reminder that led Xu Feng from Fire Element One Star to Earth Element and thus allowed him to advance to Divine Separation Stage.
Xu Feng then expressed his gratitude to Xu Mo and the others: "Thank you for arranging a precious place for my cultivation, thank you Grand Elder for your guidance on the Cultivation Method, and thank you Senior Shen for the Jade Eye Tablet."
Xu Mo and Xu Duo Chou nodded in acknowledgment while also offering some encouraging words.
However, Shen Nan interjected, "Did you not see what I gave you?"
Xu Feng recalled the Jade Eye Tablet that Shen Nan had given him. At that time, he was in a hurry to find Arctic Chicken Blood and completely forgot to check the Jade Eye Tablet that Shen Nan had gifted him. He couldn't help but break into a sweat and said, "I was eager to go to the Arctic Snowfield and didn't have time to look at it. Please forgive me, senior."
Shen Nan then realized, "You were determined to save someone, so it's not entirely your fault. Since I gave it to you, it is naturally up to you how to use it."
Xu Feng didn't know what it was and could only express his gratitude again, "I will definitely read it carefully. How is Fourth Young Master’s injury?"
Shen Nan replied, "Fourth Young Master has already recovered, but his cultivation has been hindered, and he can no longer practice."
Upon hearing this, Xu Feng felt a heaviness in his heart. He had met Shen Qian in Liuxiang Kingdom, and they had developed a good relationship. Although Shen Qian's martial skills were average, he was astute in dealing with the world and was originally a candidate for the next head of the Shen Family. However, because of Silverbeard's strike, all of that had turned to dust.
Other cultivators from Shaoyang Mountain also came over to congratulate Xu Feng.
At that moment, a Xu Family Disciple flew in from a distance. The disciple appeared hurried and flew in front of Xu Mo, reporting, "Master, Nong Senior wants you to return quickly; elder sister has awakened."
Everyone was overjoyed, especially Xu Mo; today could be considered a day of triple happiness.
