I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 720 Performing the Ceremony of a Student

This is a moment.

This time, Zhu Chixuan no longer thought Xia Daoming was being unrealistic or arrogant.

On the contrary, he was extremely excited.

Gong Ning harbored ill intentions towards Zhu Qiluo first, but was killed instead, which was entirely his own fault. Zhu Qiluo, on the other hand, managed to escape, but her foundation was destroyed.

According to the established rules among the Golden Immortal factions, Blood Lake Ridge should let this matter rest. The most unreasonable thing they could do would be to send some of their younger generations to seek revenge.

As a result, Gong Shasong and his wife personally took action and threatened to attack Danxia Mountain if Zhu Qiluo was not handed over.

Zhu Chixuan was furious and wished he could destroy Blood Lake Ridge, but he was too weak and could only swallow his anger and seek help from all sides. However, the two True Lords in charge of guarding Qionghua County were unwilling to step forward to uphold justice, and his friends of many years also made excuses to refuse to help. You can imagine how humiliated he felt!

At first, he insisted on telling Xia Daoming that he had only forced Gong Shasong and his wife to retreat, because he believed that his side was not strong enough and only wanted to protect himself.

In reality, if Gong Shasong and his wife were to attack Danxia Mountain, he would want to kill them all!

Now that Xia Daoming has once again spoken of killing the two, how could Zhu Chixuan not be agitated?
It took Zhu Chixuan a while to gradually calm down.

As he said, to kill Gong Shasong and his wife, one would need to invite a late-stage Golden Immortal of the Condensation Realm.

Although Zhu Chixuan was overjoyed by Cang Yu's arrival, for a moment he had a hope of killing Gong Shasong.

However, Cang Yu was ultimately only a Golden Immortal in the early stage of the Condensation Realm. Even if he ambushed them in secret and launched a sudden attack, it would still be extremely difficult for him to kill them.

unless……

Thinking of this, Zhu Chixuan's eyelids twitched uncontrollably. He subconsciously looked at Xia Daoming and asked cautiously, "Besides directly restraining the Blood River True Water, does Sect Leader Xia still have the strength to unleash a killing move?"

Xia Daoming nodded and said, "Restraining the Blood River True Water is only a part of our strength. It's just to show weakness to the enemy and distract them. In reality, Cang Yu's sudden attack was just one part of my plan to kill with one strike."

Zhu Chixuan's heart pounded, and a chill ran down his spine.

He initially thought that Xia Daoming was fighting with all his might by directly restraining the Blood River True Water, so he never understood what was meant by feigning weakness.

Only now do I realize that his act of directly restraining Blood River True Water was actually a feigned weakness!

What shocked him even more was that even the Golden Immortal's attack was merely an auxiliary measure!

How powerful must that be!
Is this still a true immortal?

How is this possible?

But seeing Cang Yu's unwavering belief and awe-inspiring expression, Zhu Chixuan knew that this was the truth!
"Now let's discuss a detailed strategy!" Xia Daoming continued, seemingly oblivious to Zhu Chixuan's shocked expression.

"Yes!" Zhu Chixuan subconsciously sat up straight, just like Cang Yu, adopting a respectful posture of listening attentively.

Next, the three discussed and deliberated on their specific plans, determined to eliminate any hope of escape for Gong Shasong and his wife!

After some discussion, Zhu Chixuan realized that Cang Yu's greatest skill was actually speed!

This is the most powerful weapon for assassination!
What truly makes Xia Daoming formidable is not the astonishing swordsmanship and powerful immortal energy he displayed in suppressing Zhu Liao and the other seven, but rather his mastery of divine weaponry and martial arts.

As for just how powerful he was, Xia Daoming didn't elaborate, and Zhu Chixuan had no way of knowing.

Soon after, the three finalized a detailed plan.

Afterwards, Zhu Chixuan recalled how he had unexpectedly gained some insights and benefits when he examined Zhu Qiluo a hundred years ago. Hoping for the best, he shamelessly asked Xia Daoming for guidance on some of the confusion he was encountering in his cultivation. Zhu Chixuan cultivated the path of fire.

When it comes to the art of fire, no one in the entire Chizhou Prefecture is more proficient than Xia Daoming.

Xia Daoming was not a stingy person. Moreover, his decision to intervene in the Zhu family's affairs was originally intended to establish good relations with Danxia Mountain, so that if the Qingyuan Sect were to encounter any trouble in the future, it would not be left isolated and helpless.

Xia Daoming answered all the questions one by one.

Zhu Chixuan was increasingly overjoyed and alarmed as he listened.

Some of these questions had puzzled him for tens of thousands of years, yet he had no one to consult.

Even if there were people to ask for advice, they would be too proud to offer their own insights, so why would they offer help for free?

As a result, there was a time when his cultivation stagnated for a long period of time and he was in low spirits. When Zhu Qiluo asked him about it out of curiosity, he couldn't help but sigh that the Dao of Heaven was extremely mysterious and complex, and extremely difficult to fathom and understand. The more he cultivated, the more lost and helpless he felt.

Unexpectedly, a true immortal generously answered all his questions today.

As Xia Daoming delved deeper into explaining, three days and three nights passed without anyone noticing.

Zhu Chixuan's confusion vanished. Although his cultivation level seemed unchanged, his inner aura had subtly changed.

"Thank you for your guidance and explanation, teacher. I am deeply grateful. I will do my best to fulfill any request you may make in the future." Zhu Chixuan stood up, straightened his immortal robes, and then bowed respectfully in thanks.

This explanation will not reveal any major changes in the short term.

However, Zhu Chixuan knew very well that his understanding of the true meaning of the Fire Dao had far surpassed that of the past. He only needed to destroy Blood Lake Ridge and then cultivate in seclusion. Soon, he would surely be able to step into the mid-stage of the Dao Condensation realm, which was once out of reach. Zhu Chixuan was even confident that he could step into the late-stage of the Dao Condensation realm one day.

Such a profound grace of receiving the Dao was so great that even though Zhu Chixuan was a Golden Immortal of his generation, he felt so grateful that he had to consider himself a student.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Qiluo hurriedly got up and knelt down, her mind filled with utter shock.

She never dreamed that the master she had reluctantly acknowledged in the Valley of Reincarnation a hundred years ago would one day have even her ancestors treat him with the respect due to a student.

Xia Daoming stared intently at Zhu Chixuan, his eyes flashing with golden light, as if they could penetrate the deepest hell.

Zhu Chixuan felt a strange chill run down his spine, as if he had become invisible, and no thought could escape the golden gaze before him.

"Speaking of which, Qiluo and I have some connection. I helped her on this trip. Now that you are grateful and call me teacher, it can be considered that we have formed a good bond."

"How about this: you have Qiluo join my Qingyuan Sect. Having survived this great calamity, she now possesses the potential to become a Golden Immortal, making her a fourth-generation disciple, my grand-disciple, and Cangyu's junior disciple. This way, my Qingyuan Sect's intervention will have a legitimate cause."

Seeing that Zhu Chixuan was grateful and genuinely considered himself a student, Xia Daoming's heart stirred slightly, and he made a suggestion.

Zhu Qiluo was stunned upon hearing this, hardly believing her ears.

Including this time, Xia Daoming has actually saved her twice and given her guidance, which has led to her rapid progress in cultivation.

Zhu Qiluo had already willingly submitted.

Now he's actually saying he wants to take her into his sect—an opportunity Zhu Qiluo never even dreamed of.

"Qiluo, what are you still standing there for? Why don't you thank the Sect Leader!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Chixuan first showed a look of surprise and astonishment, and then his face lit up with joy.

　That concludes today's update.
