Broke through to Astral Infant?

Zhou Xuanji raised his brow. This guy is so powerful?

The stages of human cultivation, from low to high, were Qi Nurturing, Foundation Building, Enlightening, Inner Pellet, Soul Fountain, and Astral Infant!

Once a cultivator reached the Astral Infant, as long as he did not meet with any fatal catastrophe, he could live for 1,000 years.

He asked, “You were following and protecting me secretively back then?”

Xiao Jinghong nodded and sighed, “Revered Teacher improved at such an incredible speed. I cannot be compared to you.”

Back then, when he first met Zhou Xuanji, he was already devilish enough.

Now that he reached Enlightening Level Seven at merely 12 years old…

He was even more devilish than Zhao Congjan and Zhou Yalong.

Zhou Xuanji indicated him to sit and called out to Little Jiang Xue and the others.

Huang Lianxin and Beixiao Wangjian introduced themselves, while Beixiao Wangjian looked at Xiao Jinghong with a complex expression.

That year, he was defeated by Beixiao Wangjian.

”Beixiao Wangjian, although your talent is mediocre, you have good foresight. You will consider yourself fortunate in the future.”

Xiao Jinghong nodded with a smile and said the Beixiao Wangjian, but his tone made Beixiao Wangjian very unhappy.

But he had no choice. Xiao Jinghong was Zhou Xuanji’s disciple, while he’s merely a sword slave.

Beixiao Wangjian snorted coldly, “I already feel fortunate now.”

This was truly from his heart. After he followed Zhou Xuanji, his sword techniques continued to improve. He lived each day fully, unlike how he lived previously, challenging different swordsmen to seek a breakthrough.

Zhou Xuaji asked a few more questions, and Xiao Jinghong answered them genuinely.

”After I defeat Meng Tianlang, I will follow you around the world. Revered Master, what is your goal?” Xiao Jinghong smiled and said at the end.

Goal?

Zhou Xuanji began thinking to himself. After his revenge, he planned to travel around the world indeed.

So, he said confidently and forthrightly, “One day, I will fly with 10,000 swords and stand at the top of everything!”

With this, Zhou Xuanji shocked everyone.

They remembered Zhou Xuanji’s Ten Sword Mode.

So, the Ten Sword Mode was not his limit. His goal was 10,000 swords…

They tried to imagine how it would look like and had goosebumps.

Xiao Jinghong exclaimed, “What the Revered Teacher wants is grand indeed.”

”He is unrivaled in boasting and bluffing.” Little Jiang Xue said with her lip curled.

Zhou Xuanji rolled his eyes at her and said, “You wait. That day will come.”

On the other side.

Zhao Congjan defeated Fang Junsheng, and Fang Junsheng appeared very discouraged.

Xiao Jinghong glanced at them and said, “This guy is not fit to become your disciple. He can, at most, be your sword slave.”

Fang Junsheng heard it and really wanted to bury his head into the ground.

With Xiao Jinghong around, ZHou Xuanji’s standard for disciples was very high. He had nothing to retaliate with.

Zhou Xuanji looked at Fang Junsheng and asked, “You really want to follow me?”

Fang Junsheng immediately ran over and knelt before ZHou Xuanji. “Even as a sword slave, I am willing!” He muttered, “I’m a Sword Cultivator. My family cannot give me much help. Moreover, my family was not on good terms with the Sword Monarch, so I cannot ask him to be my teacher. The only person I can go to is you.”

Zhou Xuanji said with a low voice, “Follow us for half a year. Within half a year, if I’m not satisfied with you, you can leave.”

Fang Junsheng was overjoyed and immediately kowtowed in front of Zhou Xuanji.

Xiao Jinghong smiled but did not say a word.

Zhao Congjan’s looked at Xiao Jinghong with a burning passion. His eyes sparkled with the intention to fight.

Beixiao Wangjian’s hands gripped tightly under his sleeves. He had to work harder so that he wouldn’t stay on the bottom forever.

With Xiao Jinghong and Fang Junsheng around, the party became even more lively.

After this, Zhou Xuanji would give some pointers to Xiao Jinghong every day.

Zhao Congjan, Beixiao Wangjian, and Fang Junsheng were all so inspired by how Xiao Jinghong humbly sought the guidance of Zhou Xuanji.

Zhou Xuanji’s image grew more gigantic in their hearts.
