Tian Ling Mountain was as gracious and harmonious as before.

Lu Ping and Liang Xuan-Feng agreed on a time to regroup, then went off on their own way. The first place Lu Ping stopped at was Chong Hua Palace.

At this time, there were many Blood Condensation Realm disciples joyfully shuttling in between Chong Hua Palace and other places. These disciples were preparing for Great Ancestor Liu Tian-Lings Avatar Forum.

In the North Ocean, every Great Ancestor was a powerful figure that could topple the power balance. Hence, Great Ancestor Liu Tian-Lings advancement was naturally worthy of celebration.

Along the way, the cultivators were puzzled to see Lu Ping, but when they noticed his cultivation base as an Enlightened Master, they became more respectful and let him be.

Lu Ping himself didnt mind their stares, it was only normal that they couldnt recognize him. After all, he rarely visited Tian Ling Mountain in the first place, not to mention that hed been missing for years now.

Thinking of this, Lu Pings thoughts turned to Huang Li Islands current state. But given that the island was at the front of the border, it wouldve been destroyed by the monster tide years ago. Lu Ping sighed quietly. All his efforts to build and manage the island, even collecting five mini spirit veins, all of that had gone to waste.

Soon, there were cultivators that recognized Lu Ping. They were all surprised to see the disciple who was once presumed dead was still alive. Whats more, they were shocked to find that he had advanced to the Core Forging Realm and became an Enlightened Master!

Words spread quickly, and in a short time, almost every cultivator in Tian Ling Mountain had learned about Lu Pings return. Some were overjoyed and welcomed him, while some not so. Regardless, his return and advancement in realm had garnered a lot of attention.

The stories about him spread just as quickly.

For instance, his teacher was the newly-advanced Great Ancestor Liu Tian-Ling.

For instance, his previous teacher, Enlightened Master Liu Xuan-Ling, together with Enlightened Master Xuan-Chen, had stormed into the Yuan Clan because of his disappearance.

For instance, his speedy cultivation advancement from the Eighth Layer Blood Condensation Realm when he was last seen, to the Third Layer Core Forging Realm now.

At the same time, questions began cropping upwhat had caused his disappearance, where hed been and what hed gone through all these years, and most importantly, why did he return now?

Like a stone dropped into a pond of water, Lu Pings return wasnt grand, but it certainly stirred up the waters.

In Chong Hua Palace, Great Ancestor Liu Tian-Ling was standing in front of the master seat with a smile on her faceit was as if she already knew about Lu Pings return. After noticing Lu Pings cultivation base, her smile grew even brighter.

"Teacher!" Lu Ping walked into the palace, the teacher was still in her usual palace dress with her usual smile. He quickly stepped forward and bowed. "Teacher, congratulations on achieving Avatar Realm!"

Great Ancestor Liu Tian-Ling nodded. "Your Core Forging Pellet greatly helped. If not for it, I wouldnt have been able to forge an eighth-grade Golden Core."

Lu Ping was overjoyed. If a seventh-grade Golden Core was the ticket to Avatar Realm, then an eighth-grade would be the key to achieving Mid Avatar Realm. Given time, the teacher might even reach Great Ancestor Tian-Xiangs level, if not stronger!

Lu Ping took out a jade scroll and said, "Teacher, this is a jade scroll that Junior Uncle Xuan-Feng found in Chong Xuans Palace in the East Ocean. It is a critical time for Junior Uncle as he is fusing his wonder item. Hes afraid that he wont be able to attend your forum, and so, he asked me to hand you his congratulatory gift on his behalf."

Great Ancestor Liu Tian-Ling skimmed the jade scroll and was surprised, murmuring, "[Sea Coasting Wave Listening Scripture]?"

Lu Ping nodded quickly.

She read the jade scroll again and said happily, "The complete [Sea Coast Wave Listening Scripture]. Rumor has it that Fei Ling Sects Great Ancestor Chong Xuan fled to the East Ocean with part of the sects heritage, including this scroll. I never thought it would be found, and yet Junior Brother Liang managed it."

Lu Ping smiled. "With the cultivation method now completed, it could become the sixth true heritage in Teachers hands."

Great Ancestor Liu Tian-Ling peered at Lu Ping and laughed. "My disciple, since when have you learned to flatter others? But you are right, it would be such a waste to let it collect dust in the corner. I will have to give it a try."

Lu Ping smiled awkwardly, then quickly grinned.

At this time, Second Senior Sister Li Xuan-Ru, Third Senior Sister Zhao Xuan-Ji, Fourth Senior Sister Wang Xuan-Jing, Sixth Senior Sister Chen Xuan-Wei, Tenth Junior Sister Jiang Xuan-Xuan, as well as Leng Qian, walked into the palace together.

Clearly, they had learned about Lu Pings return and were here to see him.

Lu Ping calmly greeted the martial sisters, including Leng Qian. Although Great Ancestor Liu Tian-Ling didnt say anything, she looked pleased to see that Lu Ping wasnt cold towards Leng Qian. Jiang Xuan-Xuan humphed frigidly at seeing him greet the latter, but she too, kept silent.

Second Senior Sister Li Xuan-Ru noticed the strange atmosphere. She quickly smiled and said, "When my disciple told me that their ninth junior martial uncle had returned, I thought they were speaking in jest. Who knew that not only did you return, you also became an Enlightened Mastereven more so, in the Third Layer Core Forging Realm. How incredible!"

"Indeed, it is." Fourth Senior Sister Wang Xuan-Jing chuckled. "Thankfully, I advanced to the Mid Core Forging Realm last year, otherwise youd surpass me by now!"

Sixth Senior Sister Chen Xuan-Wei smiled bitterly. "Fourth Senior Sister, please dont mock me. This is my first time meeting Ninth Junior Brother and Im already two cultivation layers behind him."

Sixth Senior Sister Chen Xuan-Wei had been in closed-door cultivation long before Lu Ping became their junior martial brother, hence they had never met before. However, Lu Ping was still grateful towards her as her welcoming gift to him was the [Shapeless Sword Art], which hed cultivated into a mini divine ability.

"My turn, my turn!"

Little junior sister Jiang Xuan-Xuan was also in the Core Forging Realm. She hopped up to Lu Ping and put up her hand haughtily. "Ninth Senior Brother, congratulations on finally surpassing me in cultivation base! But you werent here for my Core Forging Realm celebration, so you owe me a gift. Since its been so long, you need to make up for the delay with one more gift!"

Great Ancestor Liu Tian-Ling smiled happily to see her disciples in harmony, the senior martial sisters also watched as the young and playful girl teased her senior brother.

Lu Ping laughed. "Little junior sister, what do you wish for? You should at least tell me that much. Otherwise, I might give you gifts that you dont like at all, and I wont be changing them then!"

Jiang Xuan-Xuan rolled her eyes, then waving her hands in an exaggerated arc, she exclaimed, "Wow, no wonder they say Senior Brother is wealthy. You have so many valuables that I can even choose now!"

Then, she softened her voice and said sweetly, "Senior Brother, I want a flying sword, but Father and Mother said the Flowing Cloud Flying Sleeves are the best option for my nascent mystic treasure. Do you have a top-grade flying sword mystic instrument that I can play around with?"

Lu Ping knew Jiang Xuan-Xuans cultivation method was Great Ancestor Jiang Tian-Lins wood-element cultivation method, so he smiled and said, "I have two wood-element flying swords, but theyre not top-grade mystic instruments."

He saw the disappointed expression on her face and knew she really wanted to have a flying sword, so he said, "But I have two wood-element spirit materials that can make good flying swords."

Sure enough, Jiang Xuan-Xuans eyes widened in anticipation at hearing that.

Lu Ping took out two long peach tree branches, each three feet long, from his interspatial ring, he said, "These branches are enough to make a pair of flying swords. After that, Little Junior Sister can wield the dual swords underneath the sleeves. None of your peers will be able to defeat you."

These two peach tree branches were mutated spirit materials from the peach tree monster, Lu Ping still had a dozen more of them in his interspatial ring. These two branches were the better-quality ones, at least 3,000 years of age, and almost equivalent to Grade 3 spirit materials.

The senior sisters were surprised to see Lu Ping taking out such valuable spirit materials so casually. One must know, these two branches had the potential of becoming mystic treasures if carefully forged and nurtured.

Wang Xuan-Jing sighed and teased, "If I knew Junior Brother was so wealthy, I wouldve brought my disciples along and asked you to give them some welcoming gifts!"

The martial sisters and brother laughed happily.

After that, Lu Ping looked around and noticed Seventh Senior Sister Fan Zi-Hua wasnt there, so he asked, "Where is Seventh Senior Sister?"

Third Senior Sister Zhao Xuan-Ji, who had remained silent until then, said, "Shes in closed-door cultivation for her breakthrough to the Core Forging Realm. Its hard to say if she can make it in time for Teachers forum."

Sixth Senior Sister Chen Xuan-Wei wore a bitter expression, "And here I thought she could help me prepare for the forum. Looks like I have to do everything on my own this time."

Wang Xuan-Jing looked at Lu Ping and raised her brows. "Sixth Sister, did you forget something? The sects custom is to always have the smallest Core Forging Realm disciple be in charge of the Avatar Forum. Are you the smallest one here?"

Chen Xuan-Wei clapped her hands happily and answered, "Thats right!"

Then, she looked at Lu Ping and said seriously, "Ninth Junior Brother, the teachers Avatar Forum will be in your hands. Little Junior Sister is an exception, so as Teachers smallest disciple, as well as the only male disciple, this task is now yours"
