"You destroyed the Ten Great Divine Swords that were the pride of our Divine Sword Mountain. Originally, I should have punished you and perhaps even reclaimed the two divine weapons in your hands."
"But since you’re acquainted with the Divine Sword Guardian and possess immense talent, I’ll let this matter rest, although you must do one thing for Divine Sword Mountain!"
Cang Tianyun looked at Xiao Yifeng, speaking in a deep voice.
"What is it?"
Xiao Yifeng asked.
"In three months, there will be an Ancient Sect battle, and I need you to represent Divine Sword Mountain then!"
Cang Tianyun explained.
"Ancient Sect battle?"
Xiao Yifeng asked with curiosity.
"The Ancient Sect battle is a contest among the young generation of all ancient sects in the Ancient Realm, and winning this battle brings unimaginable benefits to the sect and the individual alike."
"Therefore, this battle is highly valued by all ancient sects, and such a battle only occurs once every ten thousand years."
"Divine Sword Mountain chose the Divine Sword Inheritors specifically for this Ancient Sect battle, and this time I hope you can fight on behalf of Divine Sword Mountain!"
Cang Tianyun said to Xiao Yifeng.
"Understood, I can promise to fight, but what are the benefits of winning the Ancient Sect battle?"
Xiao Yifeng asked with curiosity.
"It’s something you’ll find out then, and it will definitely not disappoint you!"
Cang Tianyun smiled mysteriously.
After chatting with Cang Tianyun, Xiao Yifeng left the grand hall and met Luo Qianyu and the others.
"That Sect Master didn’t do anything to you, did he?"
Luo Qianyu looked at Xiao Yifeng with concern.
"No!"
Xiao Yifeng shook his head.
"Hello, my name is Xin Yan!"
At this moment, Xin Yan, a disciple of the second Sword Master of Divine Sword Mountain, came over to Xiao Yifeng and introduced herself.
This was also the first time Xin Yan took the initiative to introduce herself to someone, immediately making many disciples of Divine Sword Mountain envious.
But they were not resentful, as Xiao Yifeng’s strength was truly extraordinary.
Even a celestial talent like Xin Yan having an interest in him was normal.
On the side, Chenfeeng looked at Xin Yan greeting Xiao Yifeng, his eyes showing a trace of gloominess and his expression somewhat sullen.
Yet Xiao Yifeng just casually glanced at Xin Yan and then left, completely ignoring her.
Uh...
Seeing this, Xin Yan’s expression froze, instantly looking quite unpleasant.
Around them, the disciples of Divine Sword Mountain watched Xiao Yifeng leave with astonished expressions.
They couldn’t believe this celestial-level beauty of Divine Sword Mountain greeted him but was ignored, which was quite a slap in the face.
Chenfeeng’s face also turned sullen and unsightly, trying to say something to Xin Yan, but she turned away.
"This kid is too arrogant!"
Kuang Tian couldn’t help but speak, while Chenfeeng’s eyes flickered coldly without saying a word.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yifeng returned to the cave in the valley and met the elder there.
"Thank you, senior, for yesterday’s gifting and today’s assistance!"
Xiao Yifeng directly expressed his gratitude to the elder.
"Are you the Master of the Starry Sky?"
The elder looked at Xiao Yifeng and suddenly said.
Swoosh!
Upon hearing the elder’s words, Xiao Yifeng’s face changed, his pupils constricting.
Xiao Yifeng’s eyes flashed with a hint of solemn vigilance as he looked at the elder.
"I guess I wasn’t mistaken, you are indeed the Master of the Starry Sky!"
Seeing Xiao Yifeng’s change in expression, this Divine Sword Mountain Guardian said casually.
"That’s right, I am the Master of the Starry Sky. Do you know me?"
Xiao Yifeng admitted straightforwardly, seeing the elder had confirmed it.
"My master, the founder of Divine Sword Mountain in the Ancient Era, was a friend of yours, so naturally, I know you. However, now you should be a reincarnated soul, and your memory hasn’t fully awakened, so you don’t know me!"
The elder explained to Xiao Yifeng.
"I see!"
At this moment, Xiao Yifeng comprehended, realizing that the ancestor of Divine Sword Mountain was a friend of his past life!
"Greetings to the Master of the Starry Sky!"
Then, the elder directly kneeled on one knee, bowing to Xiao Yifeng.
"Please rise, no need to be so formal!"
Xiao Yifeng promptly said.
"No, you are the Master of the Starry Sky, and receiving my bow is quite justified."
The elder continued, then waved his hand, as a star-blue key appeared in his hand.
"Star Key!"
Seeing the key, Xiao Yifeng’s eyes showed a hint of shock.
"Yes, this is indeed the key to the Starry Secret Realm. You entrusted it to my master back then."
"Before leaving Divine Sword Mountain, my master left this key with me. Today, it finally returns to its rightful owner!"
The elder handed the key to Xiao Yifeng.
"Thank you!"
Xiao Yifeng expressed his gratitude to the guardian of the Divine Sword.
Unexpectedly, he received a Star Key upon visiting Divine Sword Mountain.
It seemed worthwhile to come here; otherwise, he would have missed it.
Out of five Star Keys, he now held two, still unaware of the location of the remaining three.
"By the way, senior, where did your master and the founder of Divine Sword Mountain go?"
Xiao Yifeng asked curiously.
"You will naturally find out when you restore your strength and past memories. Telling you now would be pointless, as you’ll visit that place eventually!"
The elder looked at Xiao Yifeng and spoke.
Xiao Yifeng was filled with curiosity but unable to obtain answers, realizing many things were yet unknown to him in this world.
Leaving the cave, Xiao Yifeng returned to his residence.
There, he saw Jiang Mengyuan always beside Jian Yun, whose face revealed a hint of helplessness. Seeing this, Xiao Yifeng also smiled gently.
"Young Master, when are we leaving here?"
Jian Yun eagerly asked Xiao Yifeng.
"What? Are you leaving? Not staying here? Others who passed the test have become members of Divine Sword Mountain already and are preparing to stay for training!"
Jiang Mengyuan swiftly said.
"Jian Yun, you and Qianyu should stay here for proper training. I spoke with the Sect Master."
"He will use the resources of Divine Sword Mountain to cultivate you fully. I will be back in three months!"
Xiao Yifeng said to Jian Yun.
"Well..."
Jian Yun’s expression changed upon hearing Xiao Yifeng’s words.
"Great, your master ordered you to stay for training, so you should stay here!"
Jiang Mengyuan said joyfully, looking at Jian Yun.
"Alright, I’ll follow the Young Master’s arrangements!"
Jian Yun nodded.
Jiang Mengyuan beamed with smiles at Jian Yun.
After spending a night at Divine Sword Mountain, Xiao Yifeng gave instructions to Jian Yun and Luo Qianyu, and then descended the mountain alone the next day.
Down the mountain, Fire Qilin, Little Xiuxiu, Yan Bin, and Luo Yue had been waiting.
