Yu Changfeng and You Meng discuss the difficulty of reaching the Holy Spirit Realm. They consider the remains of a legendary figure and the Fate Fruit from the Sourceless Forest as potential methods. Yu Changfeng contemplates stealing more Fate Fruits from Su Changfeng, but You Meng warns him of Su Changfeng's unpredictable strength.

The War Path is where conflicts occur between the Three Kingdoms, and besides the Sourceless Forest, it’s the only place with access to the Three Kingdoms. However, under normal circumstances, it’s not open to outsiders.

Upon hearing this, Yu Changfeng quickly waved his hand and said, "That place is plagued by perpetual warfare, I can’t imagine how many wandering souls and wild ghosts are there. I have no desire to go."

"Haha, you’re a Primordial Master and you’re afraid of ghosts? Aren’t you worried people will laugh at you?" You Meng looked at him mockingly.

Yu Changfeng didn’t mind You Meng’s mockery at all; he even said with conviction, "Even if it got out, people wouldn’t dare laugh at me. As you said, I’m a Primordial Master — who would dare to poke fun at me?"

"What a thick-skinned guy!" You Meng was speechless and didn’t want to banter with Yu Changfeng anymore, so he simply returned to his room.

Sitting in the pavilion, Yu Changfeng gave serious thought to the news that Su Changfeng had the Fate Fruit. Although he’d given up on the idea of seizing it by force, that didn’t mean he would give up easily.

He believed that becoming a master of the Holy Spirit Realm had always been his pursuit. Now the opportunity was right in front of him, and he had to try whatever it took.

"Su Changfeng, I won’t just give up like this. The Fate Fruit is mine, it will be mine," Yu Changfeng declared through gritted teeth.

...

Changfeng Sect.

The day of the official founding of the Changfeng Sect came quickly, and Su Changfeng, who had been playing the role of a hands-off shopkeeper, finally made an appearance.

The hundreds of disciples in the sect finally got the chance to see their Sect Master. These children from poor families all looked at Su Changfeng with immense admiration.

In their eyes, Su Changfeng, despite his youth, had accepted them and given them the opportunity to change their lives. To them, he was like a deity, so the disciples knelt down reverently, their expressions full of gratitude.

Although Su Changfeng was not used to such scenes, he felt unable to accept such gestures easily. However, he didn’t stop them. After all, they were his disciples, and accepting a bow from them seemed reasonable.

"Brother Changfeng, members of Qingluan Sect have arrived," said Chen Qingqing, who suddenly approached Su Changfeng at this time.

The Qingluan Sect was the first sect to come and congratulate them, which surprised Su Changfeng. He originally thought that the sects within Xingluo Territory would not come to congratulate them.

"Master, you have no idea, the Qingluan Sect has a great reputation in Xingluo. Their sect rules state that they don’t accept male disciples," Wang Junyi eagerly explained.

Su Changfeng never had an interest in such matters, so upon hearing this, he merely gave him a look and sternly said, "Wipe the drool off your face, it’s embarrassing."

Down the Wanhua Mountain, Baili Luoyuan and her entourage came with gifts, accompanied by Elder Hua Qingyao and over ten disciples.

Just as Wang Junyi said, these people were all beautiful women, and presumably, any man seeing so many beauties would have some thoughts.

Of course, when Su Changfeng saw them, he merely experienced a fleeting awe and then felt nothing more.

In his eyes, the women of the Qingluan Sect were indeed beautiful, and gathered in a group, they created a strong visual impact, like a feast of supermodels. But that was all; he wouldn’t have any other thoughts.

"Sect Master, look, Su Changfeng is even more handsome than in the picture books," Hua Qingyao said, desperately suppressing her infatuation. She had countless times imagined meeting Su Changfeng, and had even prepared for disappointment in her heart. But when the day finally came, she found that reality not only didn’t disappoint her but gave her a pleasant surprise.

Baili Luoyuan was also somewhat surprised. Su Changfeng’s appearance was indeed different from what she imagined. She had thought the painters deliberately beautified his looks for profit. Now it seemed they hadn’t fully captured Su Changfeng’s charm.

"Keep it together, will you? You’re an elder of the Qingluan Sect," Baili Luoyuan couldn’t help but remind.

"Oh, don’t worry, I would never embarrass myself in front of such a handsome man," Hua Qingyao replied.

As they spoke, Su Changfeng had already walked up to Baili Luoyuan, instinctively extending a hand, and said, "Sect Master Baili, I apologize for not welcoming you from afar."

Just earlier, Wang Junyi had briefly introduced the situation of the Qingluan Sect, so Su Changfeng naturally remembered Baili Luoyuan’s name.

However, his instinctive handshake seemed rather inappropriate to Baili Luoyuan, as this wasn’t Earth.

In fact, Baili Luoyuan had no idea what Su Changfeng meant by this gesture.

"Brother Changfeng, there’s no custom of shaking hands here," Chen Qingqing couldn’t help but remind.

Su Changfeng finally realized and quickly withdrew his hand, smiling as he said, "Sect Master Baili, how about I show you around?"

Baili Luoyuan nodded and said, "The Changfeng Sect has a lovely environment, Sect Master Su certainly has a good eye. In that case, I’ll have to trouble you, Sect Master Su."

Su Changfeng naturally didn’t take such pleasantries to heart. Though Wanhua Mountain was indeed beautiful, there were many other beautiful places on the Tianyuan Continent.

On the summit of Wanhua Mountain, from here, one could almost take in all the beautiful scenery surrounding Wanhua Mountain. Su Changfeng couldn’t help but think of Xianwu Mountain. The beauty here, naturally, surpassed Xianwu Mountain, but in Su Changfeng’s heart, Xianwu Mountain was unique because back then, standing beside him was Shen Hanxue.

In Su Changfeng’s heart, as long as Shen Hanxue was by his side, it was the best scenery in the world.

"Sect Master Su, have you heard about the situation in the Sourceless Forest?" Baili Luoyuan asked Su Changfeng. The situation in the Sourceless Forest was already known to the Three Kingdoms, and naturally, the Qingluan Sect had heard about it. Baili Luoyuan came partly out of curiosity to see what kind of person the legendary Su Changfeng was, and partly to know his take on the matter.

"I’ve heard a bit, but I’m not very clear about the situation in the Sourceless Forest, so I can’t say for sure what it’s like there," Su Changfeng replied.

Though he suspected that the situation in the Sourceless Forest might be related to the White Jade Python, even if he had speculations, he certainly wouldn’t disclose them to Baili Luoyuan.

Su Changfeng was never swayed by beauty. The only person with whom he could be uninhibitedly open was Shen Hanxue.
