Chapter 928: Chapter 482: The Disciple Returns, Old Man Xiao’s Astonishment_2

“Naturally!”

Xu Yan nodded respectfully.

“The martial arts I cultivated were Pure Martial Arts. My second junior brother cultivated Physical Body Martial Arts, my third junior sister cultivated Alchemical Medical Martial Arts, my fourth junior brother cultivated Qimen Martial Art, and my fifth junior brother cultivated Extreme Soul Martial Arts.

“The pet, Red Cat, cultivated Great Demon Martial Arts, all taught by my master.

“Each type of martial art is different, and we call these Great Wilderness Martial Arts. Of course, this wasn’t a name my master made up, but he simply acknowledged it.

“My master’s realm had already reached the threshold of the Dao. Every action seemed ordinary, yet contained the profound principles of the Dao.

“If you could comprehend even a bit, it would be a significant opportunity for you!”

Old Man Xiao felt a chill run up his spine. Xu Yan’s master was terrifying, each disciple practiced a different martial art, and every single one was incredibly powerful, almost monstrous.

He felt a bit shaken inside but quickly reaffirmed his thoughts, “Impossible, how could there be such a powerful individual in the world? Even that one from the Imperishable Temple couldn’t do this.

“But Xu Yan, Meng Chong, their martial arts are truly mysterious. I’ve never heard or seen anything like it.”

Old Man Xiao couldn’t help asking, “How did you cultivate your Sword Dao?”

Xu Yan’s Sword Dao was indeed unfathomable, beyond his martial arts knowledge.

“Of course it was taught by my master.”

Xu Yan showed a look of recollection and said, “My Sword Dao and Subduing Dragon Palm were both taught by my master. In my eyes, the Sword Dao martial artists of the Taicang Domain haven’t even stepped into the doorway of Sword Dao!”

“What do you mean?”

Old Man Xiao felt some discomfort.

After all, he considered himself a Sword Dao martial artist too. Although he wasn’t purely a Sword Dao cultivator, one of his martial arts specialties included Sword Dao.

“Do you know of Sword Heart Clarity? Do you know Heart Sword Realm? Do you know Sword Intent?”

Xu Yan’s face was filled with pride.

Although Old Man Xiao was now stronger in terms of raw power, in Sword Dao, he lagged far behind.

Xu Yan then explained what Sword Heart Clarity meant, leaving Old Man Xiao bewildered, feeling its profoundness.

“How can one achieve Sword Heart Clarity?”

He couldn’t help but ask at last.

Xu Yan pondered for a moment and then said, “If you want to understand Sword Heart Clarity, you must first cultivate your mind. As long as you can attain a state of ‘no woman in your heart,’ you can touch upon Sword Heart Clarity.”

After all, that was how he honed his mental state.

“‘No woman in your heart?'”

Old Man Xiao was stunned.

“Are you sure?”

He glanced at Du Yuying and Yun Miaomiao, doubting Xu Yan’s words.

Was this kid making fun of him?

Xu Yan replied solemnly, “Naturally!”

Gazing at Old Man Xiao, he said sacredly, “My master said, ‘With no woman in the heart, cultivation is divine.’ This state is mysterious; it’s both ‘no woman in the heart’ and not ‘no woman in the heart.’ It’s a state of mind you wouldn’t understand!”

Old Man Xiao felt confused and muttered to himself, “I really don’t understand!”

He couldn’t help but ask, “Your Sword Dao is so strong, have you really achieved ‘no woman in the heart’?”

Xu Yan nodded and assuredly said, “Of course! I long ago had no woman in my heart and broke through this mental state.”

Old Man Xiao looked again at Du Yuying and Yun Miaomiao, these two charming beauties, and couldn’t help but retort, “You call this ‘no woman in your heart’?”

Xu Yan gave him a disdainful look, “Your understanding is too poor; you’re destined never to get into Sword Dao!”

“My understanding is poor?”

Old Man Xiao scratched his beard in frustration and said, “Then explain, if you have ‘no woman in your heart,’ what’s this all about?”

Xu Yan sighed and said, “You’re truly dense. ‘No woman in the heart’ doesn’t mean women aren’t around you!”

Old Man Xiao was dumbfounded, could it be interpreted this way?

“Ah, mental state, you just can’t grasp the profound nature of a mental state. But reaching your level of power is commendable after all!”

Xu Yan shook his head with a sigh.

Old Man Xiao was at a loss!

…

“My disciples are returning.”

Li Xuan smiled, as his disciples were coming back and almost broke through their realms.

This meant he could impart martial arts techniques beyond the Establishing Dao Realm.

“Breaking through beyond the Establishing Dao Realm, confidence will truly soar.”

Li Xuan looked up at the firmament, his gaze pierced through the domain, landing on the distant Land of Chaotic Imperishable.

“The strong of the Imperishable Temple, their power is formidable, but if I reach beyond the Establishing Dao Realm, I should be able to surpass them.”

By his assessment, his power beyond the Establishing Dao Realm would surely surpass Taicang.

Though Taicang was dead, the Taicang Domain still existed, implying that even if their strength surpassed Taicang’s, it wasn’t by much, or Taicang might have severely injured them.

“A Realm Master is quite intriguing.”

Li Xuan leisurely sat on the chair, awaiting the return of his disciples and also Old Man Xiao, a Realm Master-level powerhouse.

With his current power, subduing a Realm Master would be a breeze.

“The Daoist Ancestor Halo isn’t necessary, let’s try the Heavenly Dao Seal and let them feel what the Heavenly Dao truly is!”

Li Xuan pondered to himself.

Cai Ling’er was attending to him on the side.

“Master, I have returned!”

Xu Yan said respectfully and joyfully.

“Greetings, Master!”

Meng Chong and Jiang Buping followed Xu Yan in greeting their master.

“Mm.”

Li Xuan nodded, smiling gently.

Except for Xie Tianheng and Xie Lingfeng, the rest of the familiar faces were there.

Including Xin Mengrou, who was relatively unfamiliar.

Wu Tianan, that guy’s luck was indeed extraordinary, but Li Xuan said nothing about it; his unusual fortune was related to Wu Tianan’s martial arts guide.

“Greetings, Senior!”

Du Yuying and Yun Miaomiao greeted with excitement.

“Greetings, Senior!”

Wu Tianan and Xin Mengrou also greeted respectfully.

“Eldest brother, second brother… fifth brother!”

Su Lingxiu rushed over.

“Third sister!”

Immediately afterwards, Fang Hao hurried in.

The brothers and sisters gathered, rejoicing together.

Zi Yun also came over, hanging directly onto Meng Chong, extremely excited.

The courtyard was filled with the joy of reunion, while Old Man Xiao at that moment kept staring at Li Xuan, his brows gradually furrowing with an unsure expression.

This person seemed ordinary, like any regular person, without the slightest aura of a strong individual, sitting there leisurely, attended by a peerless beauty of the Sea Spirit Tribe.

Precisely because of this, Old Man Xiao felt a greater sense of incredulity.

Xu Yan and the others’ master could absolutely not be an ordinary person, surely his power was immense, not weaker than his.

Yet with his own strength, he couldn’t see through him at all, which meant that this person’s strength was most likely stronger than his!

What shocked Old Man Xiao even more was that he didn’t recognize this person!

There wasn’t a single strong individual in the Taicang Domain he didn’t know or hadn’t seen!

And yet, this person was completely unfamiliar!

If he came from outside the domain, how could he have entered the Taicang Domain so quietly?

And the Taicang Domain showed no reaction at all?

Everything seemed unusual!

He couldn’t see through him, not even a bit!

Taking a deep breath, Old Man Xiao’s expression grew solemn as he stepped forward, revealing his strong presence.

Xu Yan and the others instantly noticed, the courtyard was momentarily stunned.

“I am Xiaoyao, may I ask who you are…”

Old Man Xiao spoke with a solemn expression.

Li Xuan’s smile didn’t waver, his hand playing with the Jade Ruyi. “Young man, don’t be rash, be calm and peaceful, neither startled nor angry, and undisturbed by external things. These are the virtues of someone successful in martial arts.”

His tone was calm, with a hint of instructing a child.

Old Man Xiao’s face turned dark immediately, his aura growing more formidable.

“I, Old Man Xiao, am no longer young. For you to…”

Before he could finish, a hand was placed on his shoulder.

It just lightly patted his shoulder twice.

“My young friend, stay peaceful, don’t be rash. Although you make yourself look like an old man, it doesn’t mean you’re old. To my eyes, this domain is like a newborn baby, let alone you?”

Inside, Old Man Xiao was struck with turbulent waves of shock!

He hadn’t even noticed the hand touching him, and more terrifyingly, the aura he had been gathering vanished the instant the hand rested on his shoulder.

Moreover, a vast, unfathomable, and immeasurable splendid might fell upon him lightly, as if it landed on his Divine Soul.

It landed lightly, yet to him, it felt like an ant facing the Splendid Heavenly Might!
