Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1165 - 515: Return to the Sect

Three days later, Qin Jiuxiao and the others arrived at the edge of the "Endless Mountain Range."

Upon reaching here, everyone followed Qin Jiuxiao’s lead, concealing their aura, and like Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, chose to proceed slowly.

This is "Youyue Country" territory.

If the experts of the "Netherworld Ghost Sect" knew that Qin Jiuxiao had entered their domain alone, it would surely trigger an ambush!

They might even send ten against one.

Qin Jiuxiao has a prosperous future and naturally did not intend to recklessly fight on the enemy’s turf.

With a figure like Qin Jiuxiao accompanying them, the journey was safe, and any dangers couldn’t escape the eyes of such a prominent figure.

Another month passed, and everyone finally returned to "Shenxiao Pass."

Upon arriving here, Qin Jiuxiao no longer needed to keep a low profile.

Li Yunjing and the other four initially thought they would take the "Shenxiao Battleship" to return to the "Shenxiao Dao Sect." Little did they expect, Qin Jiuxiao, being financially abundant, directly activated the "Super Long-distance Teleportation Array," setting up a rainbow bridge, directly returning them to the "Shenxiao Mountain Range."

Li Yunjing and the others only felt a momentary dizziness, and in the next instant, they found themselves in the "Seven Star Palace."

"Dong, dong, dong..."

The glazed tiles of the "Seven Star Palace" refracted myriad golden lights under the sunlight. As Li Yunjing and the others landed, they were immediately struck by the resonant bell chimes that made their eardrums ache.

In front of the teleportation array, thirty-six soldiers of the "Guardian Army," clad in silver armor and holding long spears, lined up and upon seeing Qin Jiuxiao, uniformly knelt on one knee: "Welcome back to the mountain, Palace Master!"

"Stand up!"

Qin Jiuxiao waved his sleeves, his gaze sweeping across the plaque that hung high in the hall inscribed with "Supreme Shenxiao," and his expression finally relaxed.

He turned to the four, "Yunjing, take them to attend to your tasks!"

With that, he flicked his sleeve, and the aura of this mighty figure vanished into the blue light of the teleportation array.

Fu Chao looked in the direction Qin Jiuxiao left and sighed: "Old Li! We’ve finally returned!"

He rubbed his hands together excitedly, feeling the joy of his gains as he touched the "Storage Ring" on his hand.

Li Yunjing watched the blue light where Qin Jiuxiao vanished, slightly bowed in salute, then turned to the three, "We’ve had quite the harvest, let’s first retire to digest our gains."

"Alright! I need to retreat for a few years!"

Fu Chao nodded eagerly, impatient to delve into what he had obtained.

"I also gained significantly! I’m going to retreat!"

Lv Ruoxi’s eyes too shimmered with a longing for understanding the great path she had learned.

Yu Yunyi also nodded, saying: "I’ll return to stay for a while first."

After seeing off the three, Li Yunjing did not attend to the affairs of the "Seven Star Palace" and directly returned to his "Qiuwu Manor."

Seeing "Qiuwu Manor" tidied up neatly by Zhu Wanyun, Li Yunjing nodded in satisfaction.

"Wanyun, well done! This is my reward to you! Use it for your cultivation!"

With merit comes reward, Li Yunjing retrieved a jade box from his "Storage Ring," which contained three glistening "Realm-Breaking Pills," their forms shimmering with a faint halo and exuding a soothing medicinal fragrance.

"These ’Realm-Breaking Pills’ are very beneficial for Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. After consuming them, retreat in cultivation for a few days, and you should be able to break through realms."

He handed the jade box to Zhu Wanyun, his gaze full of appreciation.

"Thank you, Lord National Master!"

Zhu Wanyun received the jade box with both hands, gracefully bowed, eyes glistening with gratitude.

"In these years, I’ve watched over the manor, though I haven’t ventured out for training. Yet, I’ve studied numerous array classics and now hold a deeper understanding of the cultivation techniques passed by the young master."

Zhu Wanyun reported his achievements to Li Yunjing.

"Mm! Very good!"

Li Yunjing nodded in satisfaction, and handed over some Tier Two "Puppet Mechanism Beast" to Zhu Wanyun for command, along with a substantial sum of middle-grade spirit stones.

With these spirit stones, the "Puppet Mechanism Beasts" assisting Zhu Wanyun in managing the manor would greatly increase their efficiency.

At this time, a familiar cry came from the sky.

Li Yunjing looked up, seeing a bright yellow silhouette streaking across the sky, it was his falcon companion, Little Yellow.

Little Yellow circled twice, then landed precisely on Li Yunjing’s shoulder, affectionately nuzzling his cheek, letting out joyful cries, its tail feathers occasionally brushing across his neck.

"Little Yellow, thanks for guarding the manor during this period."

Li Yunjing smiled, stroking Little Yellow’s head, and offered a Tier Three demon core to the little fellow, "You’ve done well, having broken through to Tier Two!"

"Chirp chirp..."

Little Yellow seemed to understand him, gently grabbing the core with its beak and fluttering to a nearby stone table, tilting its head as it scrutinized the object.

"Its intelligence continues to rise!"

After settling Little Yellow, accompanied by Zhu Wanyun, Li Yunjing conducted a patrol around the manor.

The spirit plants in the spirit field flourished heartily, the spiritual energy was abundant.

The pavilions and towers were spotless, everywhere exuded elegance.

His heart filled with comfort; not only had he reaped a rich harvest from his two-year training away, but the manor had thrived under Zhu Wanyun’s care.

"Wanyun, from tomorrow, I’ll retreat to digest this time’s gains. The manor’s affairs still require your attention."

He turned to Zhu Wanyun and said, his gaze steady.

"Lord National Master, please retreat with peace of mind, the manor’s matters both big and small will be handled by me and the puppet beasts."

Zhu Wanyun clasped his hands across his abdomen in a respectful bow.

"Mm!"

Li Yunjing nodded before returning to his seclusion chamber.

Once he activated the restrictions for the entire "Seclusion Chamber," Li Yunjing took a seated position on the meditation cushion and retrieved the "Tianyuan Phenomenon Plate" bestowed by Qin Jiuxiao.
