203: Wherever my heart is at peace, that is my hometown.

"I, Shen Li,"

"Achieved during the Celebration,"

"Slew the Gold Sabre Sect's Qi Refining Perfection True Disciple!"

"Slew the Incense Immortal Sect's Qi Refining Perfection True Disciple!"

"Slew the Cloud Sea Sword Sect's Qi Refining Perfection True Disciple,"

"Slew countless True Disciples from the three sects,"

"Slew a Cultivator from the Yin Nether Sect,"

"Slew a Qi Refining Perfection Old Locust Tree Demon,"

"Slew a Cultivator from the Yin Nether Sect,"

"Slew the Qi Refining Perfection body of Immortal Master Seven Souls,"

"Slew the Half-Step Dao Foundation Lou Lan Remnant."

"Obtained Dao Foundation Casting,"

"Dao Title: Qingxuan."

The drastic temperature changes between day and night on the Yellow Sand Plains were naturally unbearable.

This extreme environment caused the Four Seasons Cycle Formation to unconsciously speed up its operation, and the consumption of Spiritual Qi also intensified.

At this time, it was mid-moon in Black Ridge City.

Many villagers sat on the streets and alleys, smoking and chatting.

Warriors walking by were deep in their cups, still carrying a faint scent of blood.

A page boy, smelling strongly of herbs, carried a bundle of medicinal ingredients as he walked through the streets and alleys....

Everything was orderly.

But this order completely vanished the moment that clear, cold voice appeared!

The Immortal Master's voice was young and elegant, and each word of the declaration felt like a butcher's knife hanging over one's neck.

It sent shivers down one's spine!

"Killed a Qi Refining Perfection?"

"He even killed a True Disciple of the Cloud Sea Sword Sect! This Immortal Master is incredibly murderous!"

"What! And a Half-Step Dao Foundation! How is that possible! A Half-Step Dao Foundation... only half a step from the Immortal Master Realm, yet he was struck down by this Immortal Master Qingxuan?

Qingchi Mountain has gained another powerful Immortal Master skilled in combat!

The Shen Family's situation is likely to be reversed!"

"Is there truly such a malevolent Cultivator in this world? Is he not afraid of a Heart Demon appearing..."

A daring warrior quickly looked up, but a strange pressure stung his eyes, forcing him to lower his head immediately, not daring to look up again!

This scene further confirmed that these words were not empty... On this loulan treasure ship, there was indeed a true Immortal Master!

Some Cultivators were too timid to speak.

Everyone's bodies reacted first.

Just as they cupped their hands... the arrogant voice resounded again.

Leading everyone to exclaim!

"Welcome... Immortal Master Qingxuan!"

The voice permeated the entire Black Ridge City, and the vast crowd bowed in unison.

The sound wave echoed throughout the city, lingering endlessly.

"Welcome, Immortal Master Qingxuan!"

"Welcome, Immortal Master Qingxuan!"

Before the words had faded... beneath the moonlight, a vast and clear, cold aura slowly descended from the loulan treasure ship... as if to ensure everyone remembered this aura.

The Four Seasons Cycle Formation began to operate, and Spiritual Qi gathered into a pillar, converging towards the sky.... Then, autumn leaves turned yellow... and the sky grew overcast.

Dense, goose-feather snow followed.

This effortless display of power astonished many Qi Refining Cultivators.

The clear, cold voice slowly spoke... it was an extremely elegant, magnetic, young voice.

"Everyone... you may visit me in half a cycle."

These words struck Ou Yening's heart like a thunderbolt.

"Is it truly... Shen... him?"

Even the shopkeepers of various stores looked up, their eyes filled with shock!

How could this be? How old is this Shen Family Immortal Seed? How could he have achieved Dao Foundation already?

However... no matter how much they disbelieved, the pressure of the Dao Foundation could not be faked!

They exchanged glances, their expressions unreadable.

"The sky over Black Ridge City... is about to change!"

"With an Immortal Master now... the old relationships will never return!"

"Quickly send word back home! The situation has changed!"

Before anyone could think further, the loulan treasure ship entered the City Lord's Mansion and vanished.

This caused a surge of excitement among the crowd.

A Cultivator sighed.

"I heard this Immortal Master is the guardian Cultivator of Black Ridge City. He entered the Celebration, and who knew, once he encountered the winds and clouds, he transformed into a Dragon! Such a young Immortal Master is extremely rare!"

"The Shen Family's conduct is excellent. Now with an Immortal Master in the Yellow Sand Plains, they have a Foundation, and their future prospects are great!"

"With an Immortal Master, the sky over the Yellow Sand Plains is likely to change!"

Some Cultivators, amidst their curiosity, also held a hint of anticipation:

"Every time an Immortal Master is promoted, there will be a lecture on the Dao... they will expound on their Dao. In the past, many Immortal Masters in the mountains would only lecture for their own families, but I wonder about this Immortal Master Qingxuan."

Someone next to him scoffed.

"You're dreaming."

Meanwhile, the loulan treasure ship landed in the newly renovated City Lord's Mansion.

Wang Teng was the first to jump down.

He saw a vast, dark mass before him: three thousand Yuting Guards and five hundred Kuteng Tao Soldiers arrayed.

At the very front, three Extreme Martial Warriors exuded a wild, vigorous aura and robust Qi and blood, standing in the center.

When the three saw Wang Teng jump down first and fall flat on his face, they exchanged glances, a smile in their eyes.

This Young Master Wang... after all, he had made many blunders, so such behavior was normal.

If anyone in the city was most sensitive, it was the three of them.

The moment the loulan treasure ship descended, they sensed that extremely familiar aura.

This aura belonged to no one else.

It was just that their Young Master's speed in ascending to a higher Realm was a bit too fast... truly a Prodigy.

To their left and right were Inviting Moon, Reaching for the Stars, and Sun Xiuqing.

The three young girls were already graceful and elegant, gradually revealing their charm.

Their eyes held a mix of anticipation and apprehension.

"It's been a long time... I wonder if Young Master has forgotten us?"

Zhao Bu'er, Wei Niang, Mr. Li, Chen He, Sun Dashan, Sun Xingtu, and many other outer sect deacons and offerings, all had expressions of respect.

Their Young Master had achieved Dao Foundation?

He really achieved Dao Foundation?

They hadn't misheard earlier, had they?

Then, would they... also ascend to a higher status?

A surging pressure washed over them.... The Earth Silkworm also couldn't help but look over with curiosity, but its Physical Body was simply too massive... it couldn't enter the city.

Different Water Carp in the trough raised their heads, spitting water.

The lead horse also obediently leaned in the corner.

Sand Foxes sat perched on the wall.

Dong ~

Dong ~

Amidst the goose-feather snow, from the loulan treasure ship, a slender figure slowly floated, moving through the air.

Descending,

The goose-feather snow transformed into light, floating steps.

The swirling snow became a backdrop for this figure.

As everyone saw this figure, the stone in their hearts slowly fell... they felt as if it were a dream...

Then, Qiu Ya stepped forward slightly, performing a grand bow and kneeling on the ground, her voice steady, tinged with uncontrollable ecstasy.

"Young Master? Are you well?"

The clear, cold voice of that figure held a hint of gentleness.

"Qiu Ya."

"Ah?"

Shen Li teased with a smile.

"In the Qi Refining Realm, you calling me Young Master is in accordance with etiquette."

"But now that I am an Immortal Master, why do you still call me Young Master?"

"Then my Dao Foundation... wouldn't it have been cultivated in vain?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Ya smiled radiantly.

She performed a grand kowtow.

The next second, deafening kowtows and even more solemn greetings drowned out everything.

"Welcome Immortal Master Qingxuan back to the mansion!"

The banquet flowed continuously for three days.

At night.

Shen Li smiled, tucking his hands into his sleeves, thoroughly enjoying everything.

Amidst the cheers and roars, he slowly looked up at the snow he had casually conjured, reaching out to catch it.

A clear, cold voice slowly echoed in his ear, carrying an infinitely gentle undertone.

It draped a robe over Shen Li.

Inviting Moon's slightly worried voice often echoed in his ear.

"Young Master..."

"Hmm?"

"The weariness between your brows is deepening... you must be tired?"

"I'm fine."

Looking back, he saw Wang Teng shouting loudly.

"Shen... look at this move of mine, to use your words, isn't it awesome!"

"Young Master Wang... can you please stop thinking about burning my Spiritual fields after you've had too much to drink?"

"Commander Qiu... I'm happy today... can you not hit my face?"

The clamor was incessant.

A gentle breeze swept into the hall, bringing waves of coolness.

Shen Li felt a sense of peace.
