Chapter 197 The Land of Immortals

“By the way, do you know the way to Mountain?” Yu Xian remembered getting lost and asked Hua Wuchang.

However, he didn’t hold out much hope, as Hua Wuchang should also have just left Yihua Palace to gain experience in the Jianghu.

“I only know which direction Mountain is in.” Hua Wuchang shook his head, then pointed a direction out to Yu Xian; he didn’t know the specific path.

“Thanks. If you see your two Masters when you return, please give them my regards.” Yu Xian cupped his fists toward Hua Wuchang, then turned and headed in the direction Hua Wuchang indicated.

Hua Wuchang watched the receding figure, muttering, “Such formidable Lightness Skill, such fast movement.”

This experience felt somewhat disheartening to Hua Wuchang. He couldn’t discern Yu Xian’s cultivation level, but Yu Xian’s movement technique felt incredibly profound; he wasn’t sure if his two Masters’ Lightness Skills could compare.

That was an extremely powerful individual. Perhaps even more formidable than the rumors in the Jianghu suggested!

He needed to return and report this matter thoroughly to his two Masters.

Yu Xian was unaware that his appearance had dealt a certain blow to Hua Wuchang. He continued along the direction Hua Wuchang had pointed, finally returning to the main road.

Returning to Mountain this time, Yu Xian did not submit a visiting card as he did the first time; instead, he landed directly within Zhang Sanfeng’s small courtyard.

Having been here before, he was familiar with the route this time.

When Yu Xian landed in the courtyard, Zhang Sanfeng had already been waiting for some time; the tea had even been brewed!

“Young friend, you arrived even faster than I expected!” Zhang Sanfeng said with emotion.

He could already sense the change in the Aura around Yu Xian. Compared to the last time he saw him, there was a much deeper accumulation.

He marveled that Yu Xian’s progress truly surpassed that of ordinary people!

Hearing this, Yu Xian thought to himself: If too much time hadn’t been wasted on the road, he could have arrived even sooner.

However, Yu Xian maintained a humble appearance outwardly and said, “Immortal Master overpraises me. My current Internal Energy accumulation has reached a certain level, but I have also hit a Bottleneck, so I came this time hoping to seek guidance from the Immortal Master.”

Zhang Sanfeng stroked his beard, looking thoughtfully at Yu Xian.

Yu Xian did not speak either, allowing Zhang Sanfeng to scrutinize him. He actually hoped Zhang Sanfeng could discern something from him.

“Is Young friend prepared to break through to the Land Immortal Realm?” After observing for a good while, Zhang Sanfeng suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, the corner of Yu Xian’s mouth curved up. “Does the Immortal Master think I am suitable for a Breakthrough right now?”

“Hahaha…” Zhang Sanfeng immediately burst into laughter, finding this young friend quite interesting.

“Let’s go. Spar with this old Daoist a few more rounds to see if you are fit for a Breakthrough.” Zhang Sanfeng made a gesture inviting him.

“Good!” Yu Xian happily rose. This was exactly why he sought out Zhang Sanfeng!

However, Zhang Sanfeng glanced at his small courtyard, feeling it was no longer suitable for Yu Xian to unleash his power.

“Young friend, please follow me!” Zhang Sanfeng said, his figure flashing past Yu Xian’s eyes.

Yu Xian quickly followed. Since fusing his Lightness Skill, he hadn’t fully utilized it; now was the perfect chance to test it.

Even pursuing with all his might, there was still a significant gap between Yu Xian and Zhang Sanfeng; he could only follow far behind. It seemed difficult to catch up to Zhang Sanfeng without achieving a Breakthrough in his Realm.

Finally, in a clearing on the back Mountain of Mountain, Yu Xian stopped. Zhang Sanfeng was already waiting for him there!

“Immortal Master!” Yu Xian bowed to Zhang Sanfeng.

“Come on. Use the technique you recently fused, and during the process of sparring with this old Daoist, focus on comprehending. A Breakthrough still requires your own enlightenment,” Zhang Sanfeng said solemnly.

Yu Xian nodded seriously and said no more. He activated the Nine Revolutions Celestial Skill and attacked Zhang Sanfeng.

The last time the Nine Revolutions Celestial Skill was pushed to its extreme was when facing the Old Monster of the Murong Family, but at that time, he lacked the current level of accumulation. This time, he would be much stronger than before.

Seeing Yu Xian attack, Zhang Sanfeng did not hold back either, seriously engaging Yu Xian in a clash of Internal Energy.

The two invisible forces collided violently in mid-air, emitting a dull roar like a great bell, and waves of Qi exploded outwards from the two figures. The fallen leaves on the ground were lifted by the air currents, floating throughout the sky.

Zhang Sanfeng pushed both palms forward, his sleeves billowing like sails. The ground within three feet around him actually sank by three inches. His Internal Energy was like the great Yangtze River, continuous and unending, causing ripples in the surrounding air.

Yu Xian was not to be outdone. The Nine Revolutions Celestial Skill was incomparably powerful, pouring out through his palms. Faint cyan Qi patterns condensed in the air, colliding like water ripples with the ripples Zhang Sanfeng created.

“Bang!” With another loud crash, the two who were competing in Internal Energy suddenly separated.

Yu Xian did not restrict himself to competing with Internal Energy; he then drew the Gentleman Sword. What he had fused was not just Internal Skill, but also Swordsmanship and Lightness Skill. He began attacking Zhang Sanfeng by combining all three.

Yu Xian attacked with full force, while Zhang Sanfeng handled it with ease.

However, during the fight with Zhang Sanfeng, he gradually felt his spirit enter a peculiar state. Every collision with Zhang Sanfeng seemed to be tapping on a container within his body that was already full. Gradually, he felt that thin membrane separating him from a new world—the window paper—had become as thin as a cicada’s wing.

It wasn’t the pressure of life and death, but a feeling of Perfection achieved naturally as the water reached the channel. His accumulation was already sufficient.

With successive collisions, suddenly, heaven and earth dimmed.

Yu Xian felt the surrounding air change. Then, a power far more pure and vast than before erupted fiercely from the deepest part of his body, like a sleeping volcano. The True Qi depleted from the fierce battle with Zhang Sanfeng was not only instantly replenished but also surged and roared within his body at an unprecedented speed. His surrounding Aura climbed continuously.

Finally, the Bottleneck cracked open with a sound. With a ‘buzz,’ he successfully broke through that layer of restraint.

Yu Xian felt the new, ceaseless power flowing within his body, far surpassing what was there before, and muttered to himself, “Is this the Land Immortal Realm? It feels like the whole world has changed.”

“Congratulations, Young friend, congratulations! I didn’t expect you to break through to the Land Immortal Realm so quickly!” Zhang Sanfeng was genuinely happy for Yu Xian.

He hadn’t expected Yu Xian’s Comprehension Ability to be so high, finding the point of Breakthrough directly during the battle with him and successfully advancing his Realm!

A genius rarely seen in a thousand years!

Yu Xian retracted his Aura, then respectfully bowed to Zhang Sanfeng. “I must still thank the Immortal Master for the guidance and help. Without the Immortal Master, this junior could not have achieved the Breakthrough so smoothly! Immortal Master, please accept a bow from Yu Xian.”

“Hahaha, Young friend is too polite. At such a young age, Young friend has already reached such a Realm. I hope Young friend can maintain his original intention and true heart in the future.” While happy for Yu Xian, Zhang Sanfeng couldn’t help but worry, because Yu Xian was truly too young!

He was afraid of youthful arrogance!

Hearing this, Yu Xian knew Zhang Sanfeng’s concerns, so he bowed respectfully once more. “Yu Xian keeps the Immortal Master’s teachings firmly in mind.”
