The outcome of this consultation was as expected, Master Sanfeng lived up to his name as the supreme grandmaster of the Martial Arts path.

However, for Pei Xuanjing, he gained much insight.

When the two dueled, Master Sanfeng was actually guiding him. The cycle of life and death in the

Shenxiao Heavenly Dao that Pei Xuanjing cultivated shared similarities with Master Sanfeng’s Yin and Yang Harmony Path, giving him profound insight.

“Thank you for your guidance, Master,” said Pei Xuanjing, returning his sword to its scabbard under the astonished gaze of the crowd.

He walked towards Grandmaster Zhang Zhizhan, holding his sword with great resoect. and said. “Thank you for lending me your sword, Master.”

Zhang Zhizhan smiled as he accepted the Three-Five Evil Slaying Sword back and replied lightly, “My Taoist Friend, you are too kind.”

He no longer had the previous attitude of looking down at the younger generation and considered Pei Xuanjing as an equal.

Just as Pei Xuanjing was about to say something else, the ground beneath them radiated a misty aura, which enveloped him.

When Pei Xuanjing opened his eyes again, he found himself back outside the initial valley, holding an extra Page of the Netherworld’s Book in his hand.

Even though Pei Xuanjing passed the test and obtained the page from the Netherworld’s Book, he did not seem too thrilled.

“What a pity…” He said with a hint of regret in his eyes.

He had initially planned to cross swords with Grandmasters like Zhang Zhizhan after switching to the Three-Five Evil-slaying Sword.

He also wished to have further exchanges with Master Sanfeng to understand more about the future realm of cultivation and gain some experiences.

However, he hadn’t expected that the illusion would end so abruptly.

Simultaneously, a notification appeared in his mind:

[Acquired a peculiar object – Page of the Netherworld’s Book, Refine to gain 100000 Taoyun points]

“Brother Pei.”

The voice of Li Yuzhen rang out from the distance.

“Lady Li.”

Pei Xuanjing turned around and greeted her with a smile.

Li Yuzhen stood with a group of people at a distance. Based on their slight acquaintance, she could barely address him as Brother Pei.

However, the people behind her looked somewhat embarrassed.

Logically speaking, they were all peers and it was appropriate for them to call him Brother Pei.

If they hadn’t known about Pei Xuanjing’s real identity, they might have been able to call him that. But now that they Imew, it felt inappropriate.

Considering Pei Xuanjing’s strength and status in the martial world, he was on par with their elders at home and the leaders of the various major forces.

Moreover, they were clearly conscious that the corpses of Yinshe and others were still lying there, displaying Pei Xuanjing’s formidable power, making it difficult for them to address him casually.

So, they found it awkward to address him as Brother Pei and after some deliberation, they finally came up with a decent form of address.

“Greetings Grandmaster Pei!”

“Greetings to all.” Pei Xuanjing nodded without hinting any knowledge of their embarrassment.

“Brother Pei, what did you gain this time?” Li Yuzhen asked softly.

After discussing with her group, they found out that they each gained a form of Martial Studies, which made their trip worthwhile just as their elders had predicted.

However, judging by the slightly regretful look on Pei Xuanjing’s face earlier, Li Yuzhen couldn’t help but ask about it.

Of course, in her viewpoint, having gained a superior form of Martial Studies was a considerable gain for them, but for a top-notch martial artist like Pei Xuanjing, it might seem insignificant.

Pei Xuanjing casually replied with a smile, “Well, I did get something.”

After a moment of thought, he pointed at the sword around Li Yuzhen•s waist and said, “Lady Li, may I borrow your sword?”

Li Yuzhen raised her eyebrows in surprise, unsure of his intentions. She didn’t think that someone of his stature would be interested in her sword.

“Alright!” She didn’t refuse, took off the sword and handed it to him.

Pei Xuanjing took the sword, pulled it out of the sheath with a clang, and as expected, Li Yuzhen•s sword was a Thousand-Refined Divine Weapon.

He focused his martial intent, flicked a finger, and a path of sword intent followed, then returned the sword to its sheath and handed it back.

“This sword intent represents some of my comprehension, and I would like to present it to Lady Li,” Pei Xuanjing said with a smile.

When they first met in the blessed land, Li Yuzhen did give him some advice, so he owed her a favor. This sword intent was his return gift, also an opportunity to settle this matter.

And that sword intent could, at a crucial moment, exude the power of one of Pei Xuanjing’s swords, aiding her once.

Li Yuzhen was taken aback, immediately grasped Pei Xuanjing’s intentions, and after feeling the divine sword, her eyes flashed differently. “Thank you, Brother Pei,” she said.

She didn’t expect that her impromptu action that day would bring such a return.

Pei Xuanjing didn’t intend to stay here long either. He bid farewell with a smile, “I will leave now, and we will meet again someday.”

With the last of his words resonating in the air, He took large strides towards the outside of the valley, with no hesitation in his steps.

Looking at his fading figure, Li yuzhen gazed in silence, her eyes flasing with complex emotions…

Leaving the valley, Pei Xuanjing returned to Shenxiao Mountain, cleared all distractions, and went into closed-door cultivation again, further comprehending Martial Arts and refining accumulated Taoyun.

This trip down the mountain was very beneficial to him.

As time flew by, while Pei Xuanjing was in seclusion on Shenxiao Mountain, his fame gradually faded in the martial world.

After all, there are always new talents emerging in the martial world, each causing considerable commotion over several years.

Over these two years, Pang Hong experienced the trials and tribulations of the martial world and grew significantly..
