Bu Qi the Elder waved kindly.

The Sword Immortal rode the long sword and swiftly departed.

Passing through layers of clouds, soon the Sword Immortal arrived at the Heaven God Temple.

Wang Ye saw in the mirror the Sword Immortal flying towards Tianyong Mountain, his brow slightly furrowed; the Sword Immortal had obtained a mysterious cultivation technique; she should be going back to the Sword Sect to train diligently.

Why would she come to my Tianyong Mountain?

Soon, the Sword Immortal appeared in the Heaven God Temple wearing a long blue gauze dress; Her willow eyebrows were as picturesque, like a Heavenly Immortal, yet her manner was exceptionally cold.

Giving off an air of "stay away".

"Sword Immortal, what brings you to me?"

Wang Ye inquired.

The Sword Immortal frowned, she purposely came to find Wang Ye, yet he appeared unhappy.

Could it be that I, the Sword Immortal, am not pretty enough?

Regarding her looks, the Sword Immortal was still very confident, countless people secretly admired her, and there were many sect leaders lining up wanting to pursue her.

Inviting her for meals, asking her to train together, but she refused them all.

Yet this Wang Ye showed such a cold demeanor.

"Sect Master Wang, am I not pretty enough?"

Her tone carried some slight displeasure.

Wang Ye was slightly stunned upon hearing, taking a moment to appraise the Sword Immortal, her beauty was naturally captivating, like a dream.

Surely she was the dream of countless men.

Surely any man standing in front of her would feel inferior.

Unfortunately, this Sect Master is Wang Ye, destined to become a great god in the future, how could he be a mere admirer of the Sword Immortal?

"Very beautiful."

Wang Ye responded truthfully.

Hearing this, the Sword Immortal’s smile was charming, her features extremely alluring.

She was like a plum blossom, captivating hearts.

No one would expect that the normally cold Sword Immortal would have such an enchanting smile.

The Sword Immortal found delight in having her beauty praised by this stoic face, and promptly took out the Return-to-Origin Sword Qi from her azure dress, placing it on the table.

"Take it and train well."

Having said this, she turned and left, the air still filled with her light fragrance.

Wang Ye watched her leave without intervening, he was exceedingly busy with many things to attend to.

Immediately, Wang Ye opened the Return-to-Origin Sword Qi, attentively delving into its secret moves.

The Sword Immortal reached the gate of the Heaven God Temple, looked back to see Wang Ye focused on reading, her eyes brightened.

"That serious study look, I do find it quite appealing."

With a mysterious smile, she turned and left, once out of the Heaven God Temple, her demeanor turned icy cold again, looking like an iceberg from afar.

Next, she rode a long sword, speeding towards the Sword Sect.

In the following days, Wang Ye immersed himself in studying the Return-to-Origin Sword Qi.

Day and night without pause.

Late at night, comforting lights illuminated the Heavenly God Residence.

Wang Ye was still reading under the lamp.

At this moment, the sound of knocking came from outside the door.

"Sect Master Wang, the Sect Master of the Zen Sect seeks to meet."

The voice from outside the door was that of Zhao Zilan.

Upon hearing, Wang Ye frowned, stepped out and looked at Zhao Zilan who brought the message.

"In the coming days, we need to focus on cultivation, you and Dongfang Qing should receive the guests on my behalf."

Zhao Zilan nodded in response.

"Alright!"

Upon seeing Zhao Zilan leave, Wang Ye thought to himself about the disturbances while cultivating in the Heavenly God Residence.

In recent days, disciples from the Devil Sect came repeatedly to attack, preventing focused cultivation.

"I need to find a quiet place to train properly."

After pondering, Wang Ye transformed into a dark light, swiftly heading towards the foot of Tianyong Mountain.

Soon arriving in Rainbow Town.

Rainbow Town, located at the border, had abundant spiritual energy; due to the cold climate and perennial snow, even disciples of The Path of Demons avoided this place.

This way, the place became a quiet sanctuary.

Wang Ye bought a building in Rainbow Town and went to its top floor to cultivate devotedly.

The next day.

Wang Ye spat a mouthful of blood in the morning sun.

"Failed!"

Wang Ye looked at the Return-to-Origin Sword Qi, these were the early times he’s experiencing failure in cultivation.

Yet soon he calmed his disappointing mood.

"Try again."

Wang Ye resumed cultivation, a rainbow of star rivers appeared around him.

At this moment he seemed to stand over a star river, holding endless power in his hands.

When the first ray of morning light shone on the snow outside the window, a smile surfaced on Wang Ye’s face.

"Finally mastered one layer."

Immediately Wang Ye returned to training.

Until a week later, running out of stored provisions, he hurriedly headed to the street.

"Return-to-Origin Sword Qi greatly consumes the sect energy; I must eat plenty of fruits and food to replenish."

Soon he arrived at a vendor, buying a lot of Snow Spirit Bones, Ice Worm Grass, and more.

After preparing a week’s worth of provisions and food, Wang Ye flew swiftly back to the building.

"He truly is a youth like the wind!"

"Sister, I saw a black-clad youth on the street, he walks fast and looks very cool!"

"Daughter, I saw a young man in town, if you could marry him, I’d be so relieved!"

To avoid drawing attention, Wang Ye’s attire was plain.

Yet even just circling Rainbow Town, he attracted many gazes.

Unaware of this attention, Wang Ye devotedly cultivated in the tallest building in Rainbow Town.

Nearby, windows silently opened, and a few young girls peeked over towards the building Wang Ye occupied.

Rainbow Town’s buildings were closely built, allowing neighbors to see Wang Ye through their windows.

The local situation also sparked curiosity about Wang Ye as his room remained lit without ever extinguishing.

"The light is still on."

"That youth turned on the lights so early, what is he doing?"

"Truly an extraordinary youth."

The people in nearby buildings whispered about the lights emanating from Wang Ye’s window.

Meanwhile, the youth of Rainbow Town were still dreaming.

Perhaps due to Rainbow Town’s location, the girls there were charming like snow spirits, all virtuous and kind.

But their standards for marriage were very high.

It was common to see young men offering flowers to pursue girls, but they’d get harshly rejected, flowers smashed on the ground.

Rainbow Town’s youth, in search of dual cultivation partners, spared no effort.

Yet the girls of Rainbow Town responded to such pursuits with disdain.

"Oh, so annoying, Lin Tianshu keeps inviting me for meals and wants to give me a mount."

"I’m annoyed too, the town’s alchemist keeps gifting me elixirs and spirit stones..."

Girls showed looks of disgust.

Yet Wang Ye was an exception, never pursuing any girls, nor gifting women any presents.

He was engrossed in cultivation all day.

Initially, the girls thought Wang Ye was playing mysterious, luring through feigned indifference.

But after observation, the girls realized they had overthought.

In the morning, Wang Ye focused intently on training, after intense cultivation over half a month, he practiced Return-to-Origin Sword Qi to the seventh level.

However, the next level proved difficult.

Resting his chin on one hand, flipping through the secret moves, he pondered deeply.
