Ten years passed in leisure and vigilance.
These ten years were the most relaxed and enjoyable for Xu Feng, who no longer had to flee for his life or compete with others, simply content to guard the secluded disciples of Bailu Mountain.
During this decade, disciples of Bailu Mountain gradually emerged from their seclusion, with nineteen out of twenty successfully advancing to the Great Perfection Stage, leaving only one still striving for that breakthrough. Yi Jiuzhou had yet to emerge; it seemed he particularly enjoyed seclusion, as Xu Feng had not seen him for hundreds of years.
The first to emerge was naturally Gao Jingsong. After a long period of preparation, he came out with impressive strength, significantly stronger than Lin Fangxin. His peculiar Spirit Serpent Sword had also been refined, appearing to possess destructive power on par with the Butcher's Blade.
With twenty new experts at the Great Perfection Stage joining Koukou Group, this number sent shockwaves through every sect except Shennong Valley.
Advancing from Separation of Spirit to Great Achievement would produce phenomena. Over these ten years, Bailu Mountain experienced frequent manifestations, which the people of Liuxiang Kingdom had long since grown accustomed to. However, Zheguo did not share this sentiment; each time Koukou Group welcomed a new member at the Great Perfection Stage, it attracted many cultivators to observe.
Xu Feng stood guard outside as these arriving cultivators came either to congratulate or harbor resentment.
At that moment, a brilliant light burst forth from the forbidden area; the last disciple of Koukou Group successfully advanced to the Great Perfection Stage. Xu Feng flew into the forbidden area to personally escort him out.
"Disciple Xin Li pays respects to Group Leader and thanks you for your nurturing grace."
Xu Feng took one look and immediately recognized that Xin Li possessed an extraordinary physique. No wonder he was the last to advance; this individual had exceptional talent and should be the strongest among the twenty, even surpassing Gao Jingsong.
Gao Jingsong stood nearby and said, "Xin Li, you have a Fire Heart Physique. Your successful advancement this time indicates limitless potential. You must cultivate diligently and not become complacent."
Xin Li replied, "Subordinate understands."
Yi Jiuzhou has a Golden Heart Physique, while Cai Shuqin possesses a Wood Heart Physique. Those with such physiques cultivate faster than those with a Single Spiritual Root and are considered top-tier in Xian Dao.
Yi Jiuzhou appeared first but was overlooked in Star River Sword Sect. It was only after cultural exchanges between Liuxiang Kingdom and Zheguo that the Five Elements Body gained recognition. Once Cai Shujun was discovered, she was sent to Li Hua Palace and elevated to the status of Saintess.
Xin Li, knowing that he possesses the Fire Heart Physique, still remains in the Koukou Group, a sect that could be destroyed by Wuwei Academy at any moment, demonstrating his dedication.
Xu Feng said, "Xin Li, you are strong and loyal to the Koukou Group. Are you willing to become an Elder Guardian of our group?"
Xu Feng, eager to recruit talent, proposed to promote Xin Li to be a Guardian of the Koukou Group.
Xin Li replied joyfully, "I am willing."
The Koukou Group originally had three Guardians: Han Lei, Zeng An, and Lu Zhongxiang, all brought from Snake Island with over two hundred years of camaraderie. Now, with the addition of the talented Xin Li, their strength has increased.
In the Xian Dao world, strength is paramount; everything is based on power rather than seniority. Xin Li has been in the Koukou Group for hundreds of years and has gained much support. Now being promoted by the Group Leader to Guardian, it is believed that he will soon become the foremost among the four Guardians.
At that moment, a voice echoed from afar, "Xu Feng, I did not intend to move against you. However, you colluded with Shennong Valley and developed so many Great Perfection Stage experts. Do you think we at Wuwei Academy are blind?"
This voice crashed into Bailu Mountain, causing some weaker Golden Core Disciples to faint instantly.
Xu Feng's gaze turned cold as he flew out.
Han Lei activated the Mountain Guardian Formation to protect Bailu Mountain while all Great Perfection Stage cultivators followed Xu Feng out of the formation.
In the sky, two Wuwei Academy cultivators looked down arrogantly.
One stood in front while the other remained behind; they appeared righteous but were extremely ruthless in action.
Xu Feng had refined Power King and could recognize high-ranking members of Wuwei Academy. The two individuals before him were one of the Three Statues known as Roaring Sovereign and the current Dean of Wuwei Academy, Su Ji.
Both individuals are cultivators at the Late Stage of Great Achievement, their power is truly terrifying.
What was just said came from the Roaring Sovereign.
The headmaster of Wuwei Academy has come knocking!
Xu Feng looked at Su Ji, unafraid, and said, "Headmaster Su, you are a guest from afar, yet you are overshadowing your host, which puts me in a difficult position."
Su Ji replied, "Xu Feng, you should be grateful that I made the trip to the Liuxiang Kingdom. Do you expect me to bring you a gift for our meeting?"
"Your gift is not to my liking; I don't want it," Xu Feng said, glancing at the Roaring Sovereign.
The Roaring Sovereign sneered but remained silent.
Su Ji continued, "Xu Feng, you killed my Five Masters and Six Disciples. I can overlook that for now. I am giving you an opportunity: pledge your loyalty to me. Are you willing?"
Wuwei Academy is not doing well these days; with the dead gone, having more friends than enemies is preferable. Su Ji came personally to recruit Xu Feng.
Xu Feng said, "When I sent off He Xunji, I made it clear: as long as Wuwei Academy does not trouble me, Koukou Group will not be your enemy. You harmed my disciple first; I am still giving you a chance to apologize and compensate me with one hundred million spirit stones. Are you willing?"
"Bold!"
The Roaring Sovereign let out another furious roar, this one intentional and several times stronger than the last. Known as the Roaring Sovereign, his roar could injure cultivators at the Early Stage of Great Achievement.
"Impudent!"
Xu Feng understood the severity of the situation and immediately shouted, causing two sound waves to collide in the sky and dissipate into nothingness.
Su Ji's expression changed slightly as she said, "Are you really going to oppose me?"
Xu Feng replied, "I have no intention of opposing anyone, nor do I fear anyone."
Su Ji pointed at Gao Jingsong and his group, saying, "Look at them. You have so many subordinates at the Great Perfection Stage; it would be a pity to kill them. If you follow me, they will be heroes in their own right. If you resist me, they will just be a bunch of useless rabble. Life and death are in my hands."
The crowd was furious, and Lu Zhongxiang had already flown out, shouting, "Then go ahead and kill me! Show me what you can do!"
Xu Feng extended a palm, and the Purple Hand Seal transformed into a large hand that forcefully pulled Lu Zhongxiang back, saying, "Everyone return!"
Aside from Xu Feng, the rest of this group were all at the Early Stage of Great Achievement and were far from being able to contend with those at the Late Stage of Great Achievement. As long as Roaring Sovereign could hold Xu Feng back for a while, Su Ji could eliminate them all.
From Roaring Sovereign's roar, Xu Feng had already deduced that he could defeat one opponent without issue; however, if two joined forces, he could only protect himself. Therefore, he first ordered his subordinates to retreat back into formation.
Gao Jingsong also realized that they couldn't afford to suffer losses right now and led everyone back into the Mountain Guardian Formation on Bailu Mountain. This great formation had been reinforced by Han Lei over hundreds of years and was sufficient to withstand cultivators at the Late Stage of Great Achievement.
Su Ji was confident and did not take the opportunity to strike. She said, "Xu Feng, I am very sincere. I won’t kill them. Our Wuwei Academy has plenty of experts at the Early Stage of Great Achievement; what we lack is talent like you. Come now, I will appoint you as the Arrow King."
Xu Feng possessed unparalleled archery skills; it was only fitting for Su Ji to name him the Arrow King.
It seemed Xu Feng did not hear her and simply replied, "No thanks!"
"No thanks!" These two words were firm and resolute, leaving no room for further discussion. Su Ji let out a heavy snort in response.
Roaring Sovereign charged forward, delivering a punch that ignited flames, shouting, "Wrath of the Evil God!"
Xu Feng met the attack with a palm strike.
The Purple Hand Seal clashed against Wrath of the Evil God!
Both were using Fire Element Technique. Roaring Sovereign was one of the Three Statues, wielding a Late Stage of Great Achievement Fire Element One Star fist technique, having pushed Fire Element One Star to its limits.
Xu Feng's Purple Hand Seal had also reached Great Achievement, and with the double enhancement from the Arrow Meridian, its power was unmatched.
Boom! Flames erupted, and both fighters staggered back a step.
Su Ji frowned. It was within reason that Roaring Sovereign did not defeat Xu Feng with a single punch, but to see Xu Feng hold his ground against Roaring Sovereign was beyond his expectations.
Everyone knew that Xu Feng's killing move was the Sword Formation. If his strength matched that of Roaring Sovereign, then using the Sword Formation would spell disaster for Roaring Sovereign.
Unconsciously, Su Ji clenched his fingers. Xu Feng's strength had exceeded his predictions, leaving him no choice but to join forces with the others to eliminate him, lest they nurture a hidden threat.
Roaring Sovereign was also momentarily subdued by Xu Feng's palm strike. He possessed a Medium-Grade Dao Artifact, and since Xu Feng had not yet unleashed his Sword Formation, Roaring Sovereign decided to hold back for now, waiting for Su Ji's command to attack.
Suddenly, a surge of spiritual energy emanated from Bailu Mountain, causing the Mountain Guardian Formation to tremble slightly. A cultivator at the Mid-Stage of Great Achievement stepped out from the mountain, walking steadily towards the center of the plaza.
Disciples of Bailu Mountain bowed respectfully to him as he approached. Gao Jingsong and others greeted him, exchanging a few words. The man looked up at Xu Feng, then resolutely stepped out of the formation and walked over alone.
When Xu Feng turned to look, he smiled.
After hundreds of years, Yi Jiuzhou has finally emerged from his seclusion.
Expert, Yi Jiuzhou!
Yi Jiuzhou, with empty hands, walked out of the formation gate and slowly ascended into the air, flying towards Xu Feng.
Su Ji was also drawn to this peculiar individual. While the other disciples had retreated into the Mountain Guardian Formation, this person recklessly came out. Did he possess strength similar to Xu Feng?
Impossible. If this person were like Xu Feng, then there would be far too many talents in Liuxiang Kingdom.
Yi Jiuzhou was dressed in the battle attire of Koukou Group, and the penguin design on his clothing, which was a knockoff of Xu Feng's, appeared somewhat amusing. However, paired with Yi Jiuzhou's iron-like face, it was hard to find humor in it.
Yi Jiuzhou had advanced to the Mid-Stage of Great Achievement. He had been in seclusion for so long that even Gao Jingsong did not know when he had made this advancement.
Roaring Sovereign said softly, "Dean, this person is Yi Jiuzhou, who has defeated the 'Three Types.' He is the second-in-command of Koukou Group and has now advanced to Mid-Stage of Great Achievement. He is likely capable of defeating Gun King."
Su Ji responded with a hum, her eyes filled with disdain.
"Group Leader."
"Yes, you are here."
"I am here."
Xu Feng initially wanted to say that he shouldn't have come but feared that Yi Jiuzhou would follow up with "I have already come." This conversation felt overly dramatic and pretentious.
Xu Feng then said something inexplicable, "Are you confident?"
"Yes."
Seeing Yi Jiuzhou's nonchalant expression, Su Ji's face turned pale, instinctively sensing an ominous aura.
Roaring Sovereign, however, could no longer tolerate Yi Jiuzhou's pretentious demeanor. Without waiting for Su Ji to speak, he unleashed his Wrath of the Evil God, launching a punch at Yi Jiuzhou. He wanted to give this kid a warning, making him understand that he couldn't act arrogantly in front of him.
Yi Jiuzhou did not dodge or evade; instead, he reached out and drew two strokes in the air. Miraculously, a bright white "z" appeared in the sky. The "z" flickered and flew towards Roaring Sovereign.
Then, a shocking scene unfolded: the "z" passed through Roaring Sovereign's Fire Element One Star punch shadow and accurately imprinted itself on Roaring Sovereign's chest.
With a sound like a blade slicing through tattered cloth, Roaring Sovereign let out a muffled groan and was sent flying far away.
Yi Jiuzhou's seemingly casual strike had actually sent one of the Three Statues, Roaring Sovereign, flying!
