he couldn't say that fighting against those whose cultivation were at the peak of the Void Breaking Realm was bullying them."Okay, you guys, stop praising me now.Su Xin chuckled softly, walked to the...Within the majestic palace, a white-robed man barefoot sat on a stone chair.

This white-robed man was the Transcendent Expert, Bing Feng, who had first appeared and offered to take Su Xin as his disciple.

This Ice Peak Lord had even previously demonstrated his swordsmanship before Su Xin.

"That young fellow, went to the Sixth Holy Mountain" Ice Peak elder looked at the old man standing respectfully below with great interest.

The old man nodded respectfully.

"It's quite normal for a young cultivator, who has only been practicing for over twenty years, to be ambitious and want to join the 'Mountain Master's' sect. Unfortunately, the triple test set by the sixth Mountain Master is almost impossible for anyone to pass," said Bingfeng.

He was so sure because he had once tried to pass the triple test himself.

The first test wasn't too bad, it just took some patience. He still finished it within the allotted time.

If there was a second round of testing, it wouldn't just be about patience. He eventually stopped at that level of testing.

Even he, a powerful and transcendent being, couldn't complete it, so he naturally didn't believe that a small fry from the Void Realm could accomplish it.

"Let that little fellow suffer a bit on the Sixth Holy Mountain first. But still, keep an eye on his movements. If he gives up halfway through the test or fails to complete it in the end, then go and contact him again. If he still refuses to join my sect, then we needn't bother with him anymore," said Lord Bingfeng.

As an extraordinary being, although far inferior to the existence of the 'Mountain Master' level, Ice Peak Lord still had a certain amount of pride in his heart.

Even for a promising young talent from a broken realm, even if they were a true dragon-level genius, they would only be given two chances. If the other party still didn't cherish them, he naturally wouldn't pay any further attention.

……

In the open square of Jiusheng Mountain, inside a tavern.

"That Su Xin, is too self-righteous! He's a genuine dragon-tier genius. As long as he's smart enough to choose to join a transcendent powerhouse's sect, with the guidance and teachings of this transcendent powerhouse, his future prospects would be limitless. But the result is that he insists on going to the Sixth Sacred Mountain and wants to become Master Su Xin's disciple!"

"Hehehe, I'm a genius, of course I want to soar to great heights."

"It's easy to say, but that is the Sixth Mountain Master. The tests he set have never been completed by anyone these years. Not even the first two trials have been passed by anyone. Even Transcendent powerhouses have gone to try, how can Su Xin's talent be compared to Transcendent powerhouses"

"Just watch, after he struggles for a while and faces some hardships during the Sixth Mountain Master's test, he will learn his lesson. However, by then, those Transcendent powerhouses who wanted to take him as their disciple before might not be willing anymore. Who knows"

Many strong men were conversing and debating there.

To most people on Mount Jiusheng, Su Xin's choice to not seek out a Transcendent expert as his master, but instead to join the Sixth Mountain Master's sect, seemed unwise.

"Yes, that's it!"

"Great, really great!!"

In a corner of the tavern, the white-haired and gloomy old man Situ Feng heard the conversation of some strong men around him, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.

As Ge Mon had anticipated, when Situ Feng learned that Su Xin had broken through the Void Realm and was absorbed into the core layer of the Nine Sacred Mountain, and was even detected as a True Dragon-level genius, he truly panicked.

Such a peerless genius, casually joining the sect of an extraordinary master, would be an existence he couldn't afford to provoke. In the future, as long as Su Xin is given a little time, he will easily surpass him. And at that time, by mobilizing some influence, he can easily kill him.

But what he didn't expect was that Su Xin would be so foolish.

Aspiring to soar high, he sought refuge under the mountain master's tutelage.

"Hahaha!! Su Xin, just continue being as foolish as you are now, like an idiot, struggling slowly in the sixth Mountain Master's trial. Struggle for a longer time, better yet, stay in that trial for seven or eight years, letting those transcendent powerhouses lose patience with you. By then..."

Without a superior guiding you, taking you under their wing, it wouldn't be so easy for you to go against me.

Si Tu Feng sneered coldly.

He didn't think Su Xin had the ability to pass the Sixth Mountain Master's test.

That's the mountain master himself! What kind of test could such an existence set that a mere Void Realm cultivator could possibly complete

……

Regardless of what the outside world thought, Su Xin remained quietly in the study, engrossed in his swordsmanship practice.

In a blink of an eye, another two months have passed.

A tavern in an open-air plaza.

"Glug glug ~~"

Su Xin directly raised the wine jug and took a big gulp. The whole person was also in a burst of exhilaration.

"Su Xin, three months have passed. How do you feel Are you holding up" Jiuzhen Daozhu sat beside him and asked with a smile.

"Not bad," Su Xin said with a faint smile.

For three months, he remained in that library, immersed in the study of swordsmanship. The most crucial aspect was that the higher-level sword techniques required a tremendous amount of time and effort to delve into and comprehend. The ones at the first level of the library were relatively straightforward, but their sheer volume was overwhelming.

Su Xin had been diligently researching this rather superficial sword technique, and indeed found it quite tedious and boring.

If this were to happen to someone like Duan Yunfeng, they would have probably reached their limit long ago. But Su Xin could still bear it.

He was a naturally low-key person, and he could endure solitude. Back when he was in Tianyan Palace, he could completely ignore what others thought of him and quietly cultivate on his own.

Although it might be a bit boring, being in the library now is still bearable.

And although those sword techniques were superficial, if one truly devoted themselves to studying them, they could find some valuable aspects. Most importantly, many of these sword techniques were foundational in nature. As Su Xin delved deeper into their study, he felt his understanding of the fundamentals of swordsmanship had significantly improved.

"It's bearable. There are so many sword techniques, some that can be studied for nine lifetimes," said the Daoist master with a chuckle.

He thought Su Xin should also be like him, mastering ten thousand eight hundred and sixty sword techniques at the first level.

>But little did he know that the swordsmanship Su Xin truly wanted to master was ten times what he had imagined.

Just as Su Xin managed to steal some time for a reunion with Jiuzhen Daozhu, a graceful figure suddenly appeared on the plaza.

"Summer Fairy!"

"I've seen the Summer Fairy!"

Some Nirvana Realm experts passing by greeted the newcomer, their expressions quite humble.

"What's there"

This tall, beautiful woman looked in one direction and then walked straight towards it.

"You, are Su Xin"

A tall and beautiful woman came before Su Xin and the Lord Jiu Chen. Her voice was crisp and melodious, with a hint of spirituality.

"Who are you" Su Xin looked at the woman in astonishment.

This woman is very beautiful, truly beautiful.

Among all the women he had ever seen, she stood out as one of the most remarkable. Most importantly, she possessed an innate nobility and confidence that drew the eye and made people want to look at her twice.

This woman was clearly still very young, looking about the same age as him, maybe even younger. Yet, the aura she emanated had already reached the Nirvana Realm.

"So young, he feels younger than me, and he's actually a genuine Nirvana Realm expert" Su Xin was astonished.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is... Xia Qingcheng," the tall and beautiful woman said.

"Xia Qingcheng" Su Xin's heart skipped a beat.

She lives up to her name, "傾城," which means a beauty so captivating that it captivates both the country and the city.

When Keshu heard this name, he felt it was very familiar.

"Xia surname Are you the Ninth Princess of the Heavenly Flame Imperial Dynasty" Su Xin seemed to recall something, and even looked at this woman with a dazed expression.

The most beloved ninth princess of Emperor Tianyan

The Ninth Princess who, back then, was only to be won by a duel with Si Tu Yu

Although he didn't participate in that battle due to his bloodline awakening, he was indeed connected to the Ninth Princess.

This Ninth Princess, she's actually on Mount Jiusheng as well, and has even broken through to the Nirvana Realm

"Su Xin, I've come here today to thank you," Xia Qingcheng said.

"Thanks me" Su Xin wondered.

"Thank you, for giving that Sidu Yu Xia a good lesson during the hunt in the Heavenly Inferno Dynasty. That was breathtaking."

“At first, when Father made the decision that you would fight Si Tu Yu, whoever won would be matched with me. But you didn't participate in that battle. Afterwards, Father kept his promise and made a betrothal agreement with the Si Tu family. However... that Si Tu Yu is too useless, I can't stand him.”

Xia Qingcheng didn't hide her disdain for Situ Yu at all.

"Originally, I had already commissioned a nephew of mine to participate in the hunt, and to break both of Situ Yu's legs on the hunt, even crippling him. Then, seizing the opportunity, I would have my father annul the engagement. My nephew is named Wu Chao; you should know Xia Qingcheng."

"Wu Chao" Su Xin was astonished, "Wu Chao is your nephew"

Isn't Wu Chao much older than Xia Qingcheng this summer

“Wu Chao is my senior brother’s disciple, so naturally, he’s my junior nephew,” Xia Qingcheng smiled. “I just didn’t expect that my junior nephew hadn’t even made a move before Si Tu Yu was defeated by you. And you taught him a lesson so thoroughly that I didn’t even have to mention it. Afterwards, the emperor took the initiative to break off the engagement with the Si Tu family. Naturally, I owe you a thank you.”

Su Xinyue immediately understood.

Why was it that during that hunt, the great monk Wu Chao started looking for Situ Yu from the first stage It turns out that Wu Chao was following Xia Qingcheng's orders, specifically to make trouble for Situ Yu. And after defeating Situ Yu, Wu Chao had no chance to strike again and directly conceded, giving up the rest of the hunt.

"Where is Wu Chao now" Su Xin asked.

Before this, Wu Chao said that if he had the chance, he would visit Jiusheng Mountain and have a good gathering with everyone. But now, even though he has been in Jiusheng Mountain for a month, he still hasn't met Wu Chao.

“He was arranged by my senior brother to go to a special place to cultivate, but his talent is also extraordinary. Besides, he is also my senior brother's direct disciple, so even if he is only at the Broken Void Realm, he is already an outer member of our Nine Saints Mountain. When he finishes his cultivation and returns to Nine Saints Mountain, you will naturally be able to see him,” Xia Qingcheng said.

Su Xindao nodded.

He was rather eager to have a match with the great monk. Both of them hadn't had the chance to fight freely during the hunt in the imperial city before.

"Su Xin, you taught that Situ Yu a lesson and indirectly helped me break off the engagement. For this, I owe you one. Take this token. If anything ever happens, as long as it's within my power, I will help you." Xia Qingcheng said, then tossed a token to Su Xin.

It's just an ordinary keepsake, with a Tianyan royal emblem on it, representing her status as the Ninth Princess.

Su Xin took the object, just about to say something, but Xia Qingcheng had already left without looking back.

After Xia Qingcheng left.

"Tsk tsk, not bad, you've already received a token of love" The headmaster of Jiuzhen, who was beside him, leaned over and teased.

"Well, I'm not really acquainted with this Ninth Princess," Su Xin chuckled bitterly.

I'm not familiar with it. I haven't seen noodles before.

"But, this princess is rather interesting," Su Xin watched Xia Qingcheng's departing figure and couldn't help but chuckle.

She found it interesting, saying that it was about Xia Qincheng's style of doing things this summer.

Swift and decisive, brooking no opposition, leaving no room for resistance.

Like this token, she gave to whoever she wanted, regardless of whether Su Xin was willing to accept it.

This decisive and vigorous style of action is clearly out of sync with her age.

"Interesting" Jiuzhen Daozhu said with admiration, "Su Xin, let me tell you, this Ninth Princess is a true formidable woman. If you don't have any feelings for her, don't provoke her, and definitely don't offend her!"

"Oh" Su Xin glanced at the Nine Stars Dao Master.

"Master Jiuzhen took a deep breath and solemnly said: 'This Xia Qingcheng, the Fairy Xia, is very well-known within Mount Jiusheng!'"

She is the Fourth Mountain Master, her only direct disciple!!
