Being able to reach the 'Yuanshen' stage on the path of cultivation, Xue Yu Dao naturally wasn't foolish, he was very clear... With this Ji Ning's monstrous progress rate, from birth to now only thirty years short, it was comparable to his own Xue Yu Dao's thousand years of cultivation! Such a monstrous existence must not be underestimated.

  "You'd better listen clearly." Xue Yu said, her eyes scanning the crowd below, "This Ji Ning is not to be trifled with! If you provoke him, even Snow Dragon Mountain may not be able to protect you!"

  Everyone responded accordingly.

  None of those who had witnessed that battle dared to provoke Ji Ning again.

  The news of this battle began to spread at an alarming rate, and Snow Feather did not order his subordinates to keep a tight lip, for he knew that even if the Snow Dragon Mountain's people didn't spread it...the Ji family would probably spread it anyway. Since that was the case, he might as well pretend he didn't know and let everything spread as it may.

  "At this rate of progress, it won't be long before his reputation shines even brighter. To become his stepping stone would not be a shame." Xue Yu comforted herself by saying so.

  The news quickly spread within the core of Anping County, 'Anping City'.

  Ji Ning's friends, the first to receive the news was still Bei Shan Bai Wei.

  "Haha, okay, okay!" Beishan Baiwei excitedly patted the table in front of him, causing the fruit platter and wine jug on it to fly up and fall to the ground with a crash, startling some musicians nearby.

  "Good job." Beishan Baimei looked at the kneeling servant who delivered the message and smiled, "You brought this intelligence over, you have done a great service. I will reward you with ten taels of silver ingots."

  She threw a jade bottle over directly.

  The attendant who had just stepped into the Purple Mansion was so excited to receive the message, which was from the intelligence department of the Black Tiger Mansion in the North Mountain. He was only responsible for delivering messages... but he got 10 taels of silver liquid, apparently the young master of the North Mountain was very pleased.

  "My brother Beining is really formidable! Formidable!" Bei Shan Bai Wei exclaimed excitedly as he paced back and forth in the grand hall, "It's only been a little over ten years since he entered the Black and White Academy, and now he's already achieved the Wanxiang Round Perfection. He can actually force Xue Yu Dao to retreat and relocate one of his Snow Dragon Mountain branches! Clearly, he's showing deference!"

  "My fellow disciple Ning in Heibai Academy is a third-generation student, I'm afraid he can also compare with the likes of Zhen Entering and Huo Sheng."

  "Even the likes of Ke Wu and Huo Sheng, who have cultivated for over two hundred years each, can't compare to Ji Ning's thirty years of cultivation." Bei Shan Bai Wei first felt a sense of brotherly joy, then suddenly realized that he had indeed placed high hopes on Ji Ning from the very beginning.

  Excited Beishan Baiwei suddenly glanced at the group of silly-looking musicians beside him, and only then did he realize that he had been listening to their performance just now.

  "Everyone get down, everyone get down." Beishan Baimei waved her hand.

  The musicians, including the maidens, all retired.

  Beishan Baimei's eyes had expectation: "I hope that my brother Ji Ning won't fall on the path of cultivation, with his progress far surpassing that of Zhen Yun and Huo Sheng, even surpassing the average progress of a reincarnated immortal... as long as he doesn't die, in the future when he becomes an immortal, he will be one of the top immortals, at that time, I will also have a powerful assistant."

  The news also reached Heibai Academy.

  Hei Bai Xue Gong's Liu Yun Zhen entered 'Chen Jin' who had just returned from Wu You Dong, was feeling very pleased and comfortable, and had just flown down into his own mountain peak mansion.

  "Big brother, big brother."

  "Brother Liuyun."

  Two female disciples of his ten great followers immediately came forward.

  "What's going on!" Chen Jin glanced at these two female disciples.

  "Liuyun Shixiong, didn't you tell us to pay attention to news about Beiming Shixiong?" One of the slightly thinner and smaller female servants asked from among the crowd, "We just heard that... Beiming Shixiong Ji Ning and one of the three major Yuan Shen Dao entrances of Xue Long Shan, 'Xue Yu Dao Ru', had a battle at Winged Snake Lake. Ji Ning's strength was overwhelming, causing Xue Yu Dao Ru to ultimately choose to retreat and even proactively relocate their branch in Yan Shan."

  "What!" Chen Jin's good mood instantly dissipated, his face turned iron-green. "Didn't you hear that wrong? Can this Ji Ning really make Xue Yu Dao retreat? Does he have such strong power?"

  "We didn't mishear, the news just arrived at Heibai Academy and spread throughout the entire academy."

  "Now, everyone is talking about it everywhere."

  The two female disciples both said.

  Chen Jin's face turned iron-green, Ji Ning had long been his nemesis. Ji Ning shone brightly, naturally making him furious, and he growled: "Tell me in detail the news you've heard."

  "Liuyun Shixiong, this matter originated from the Yan Mountain Ji family and the Snow Dragon Mountain branch of the Yan Mountain..." The slender young female disciple began to speak.

  "Little rascal, it seems that Ji Ning's strength has made great progress. At the very least, he has already reached the level of Huo Sheng and others, and may even be on par with you." In a spacious and luxurious hall, an old man dressed in beggar's clothes sat cross-legged on the floor, with bowls and plates placed in front of him containing roasted meats and other delicacies. He directly stretched out his greasy big hand to grab the meat food and eat it directly, while the other hand held a wine gourd and drank from it.

  Across from him, a similarly sloppy fat boy was also eating with abandon, one hand holding a wine gourd.

  "What's it to you?" The fat boy continued eating and drinking without batting an eye.

  "Little rascal, if you don't watch out, the title of being the first to enter the Black and White Academy for three generations will be taken away from you." The short old man said continuously.

  Fat youth shook his head: "When I first entered the Black and White Academy, I was not noticeable at all. At that time, there were many senior brothers and sisters who were stronger than me, but later they were surpassed by me one by one... I became the first of the three generations of disciples. But does this so-called first place among the three generations of disciples have any benefit to my strength?"

  "Not a single advantage!" The fat youth said with disdain, "In the Black and White Academy, I can rank among the top, but if you look at the entire Daxia Dynasty's vast world... In the Wanxiang True Entry level alone, there are tens of thousands of transmigrators who have entered the immortal realm, and those stronger than me are probably countless!"

  "So in the Black and White Academy, what ranking I can achieve is meaningless. My only opponent is myself, as long as I keep surpassing myself... that's enough." The fat youth shook his head, "This is also why I don't go to the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty."

  "Right, this time the Great Summer Imperial City has attracted the strongest geniuses from almost every county and city in the vast land, even some extraordinary geniuses from overseas have gone to the imperial city! This is a once-in-three-hundred-years opportunity, it must be that only those with a Yuan Shen Dao can go... A once-in-three-hundred-years opportunity, oh! If you win against the many reincarnated immortals and geniuses from various places, you will truly soar to great heights!" The old dwarf said repeatedly.

  "I'm afraid of death." The fat boy shook his head.

  "You lazy rascal!" The short old man scolded angrily, "Can the path of cultivating immortality tolerate slackness?"

  "No rush, I'll just cultivate slowly, drink good wine, eat good meat, live a beautiful life, and become whatever I can become. I won't go fight to the death." The fat youth shook his head.

  The dwarf elder had no choice.

  However, he also admired the fat boy, and even asked himself... Just talking about Dao Xin, it's likely that among all the students in Hei Bai Xue Gong, including Yuan Shen Dao Ru and Xian Ru, this fat boy's Dao Xin is the strongest! However, whether one's Dao Xin is strong or not can't be seen on the surface. As for recognizing the fat boy's Dao Xin as the strongest in Hei Bai Xue Gong, so far, he is the only one who has entered.

  "Brother Ji Ning is really amazing, after not seeing him for ten years, he's become so powerful." Mu Zishuo, who had been diligently studying puppetry all along, was particularly excited upon hearing the news, "It's been so many years since I've seen Brother, it's about time I go see him."

  Ji Ning is so formidable in this battle, and many people have come to visit Ji Ning with good intentions.

  Muzi Shuo slightly connected and had a group of people entering.

  "Go."

  "We're going to Wing Snake Lake."

  "It's been many years since I've seen my junior fellow apprentice from Beiming, and he has become so formidable!" More than a dozen people went to visit Ji Ning, most of whom had a good relationship with him, including even two Transcending Mortality Immortals.

  When strength reaches a certain level, it will naturally be recognized.

  Soon, this group of over a dozen left Heibai Academy and headed towards Yixue Lake.

  The black-robed and black-haired Temple Fairy sat cross-legged on the jade bed, opening her eyes to reveal a smile.

  "So many young ones going to Ji Ning, it seems that my disciple's strength has been recognized by his fellow disciples. Speaking of which... being able to make Snow Feather retreat, my disciple's 'Three Chi Sword' must have reached an extremely high level. Is it the fourth or fifth form? Hmm, this kid hasn't come to see me in ten years." Dian Cai Xian thought to himself, as he only knew the first six forms of the "Three Chi Sword", which were publicly taught within the Black and White Academy.

  Of course, the strongest sword technique of Dian Cai Xian is not "Three Chi Sword", but has walked out of its own way.

  Ji Ning's victory in this battle had truly made his name known throughout the entire An Yang County. His friends, seniors from his sect, and even other major sects and clans began to take notice of him. From then on, Ji Ning was considered one of the prominent figures in An Yang County.

  Distant Shangshui County, east of the mountain range.

  In a quiet and deep cave.

  A snow-white Taoist robe, Jiulian sat cross-legged on the rock, she had been trapped in this Wanlian Cave for nearly nine years. Almost every day, she tried to break through the formation, but the 'Dongyuan Old Ancestor' laid down the formation method that reflected the Taoist heart, wanting to break through the formation was actually also to understand one's own Taoist heart, to see through oneself, a true process of enlightenment!

  Jiulian never succeeded.

  "Master is coming, Master is coming." A voice came from outside.

  Jiulian opened her eyes and said: "What's going on?"

  Although she can't go out, her servants will still pass on some important things happening outside through the simple method of 'shouting in the cave'.

  "Master, I just received news that the Yan Mountain Ji clan forced the Snow Dragon Mountain's Yan Mountain branch to relocate, which provoked one of the three great ancestors of Snow Dragon Mountain, Snow Feather Dao Ren, to personally arrive at Winged Snake Lake. However, Ji Ning refused to back down, so Snow Feather Dao Ren took action." The servant said from outside.

  Jiulian suddenly became angry and anxious: "This fool, how can he be so reckless. That is the Yuanshen Yuanman Dao entering."

  Xue Yu Dao entered the final move, Swan Splitting Light Sword, and fought against Ji Ning. However, Ji Ning unleashed his divine ability, expanding ten zhang in size, and displayed an unprecedentedly shocking sword technique... forcing Xue Yu Dao to retreat voluntarily, even bowing his head to let Yan Shan's branch relocate elsewhere. The servant said from outside.

  "What!" Jiulian was shocked.
