Yu Chou had a smile on his face; this unexpected disciple indeed brought him many surprises.
In the Outer Domain sects, it might take a millennium to encounter such a disciple.
Hearing the praise from his own Sect Leader, Shen Han smiled.
"It’s not as great as Senior Yuyou says. In the Inner Domain sects, there are many talented disciples.
The path I need to walk is still very long..."
Yu Chou was accustomed to Shen Han’s response, always so modest.
Torches were still burning around, and under the firelight, the entire mountain range had a different kind of scenery.
"Your action against Qingyun today, to be honest, was quite unexpected for us."
Yu Chou spoke, bringing up the matter of today’s competition.
"I caused trouble for the sect and Senior Yuyou; in doing so, I’ve completely offended Huo Yuan."
While speaking, Shen Han’s expression was serious.
Shen Han was clear about the kind of person he had provoked.
His stability here was due to the protection of Yuyou and others.
Hearing Shen Han’s response, Yu Chou waved his hand.
"You think too much; we don’t blame you.
We just have a bit of feeling, rare to see you being assertive for once.
At that time, the old man and my brother both thought you would endure it, given your somewhat steady nature.
But didn’t expect you would choose to act firmly this time."
What Yu Chou said should be the feelings of most people who know Shen Han.
"Seeing you like this, actually, we feel a bit gratified inside.
We used to think your temperament was too good, too overly steady.
Practitioners always need a bit of arrogance.
We old folks have seen many young people. Most of them are arrogant,
believing themselves to be the smartest, and everyone else foolish.
Young people like you are rare.
But the old man still wants to say a few words to you, just some old rambling."
Yu Chou paused.
Seeing Shen Han about to bow to seek guidance, he quickly pulled him back.
"No need for formalities, just don’t mind the old man’s rambling.
It’s just old talk, being steady is not wrong.
But young people should have a bit more pride.
My brother also hopes that in the future you could be more proud as you were today."
Hearing the words of his Sect Leader, Shen Han smiled helplessly.
"It’s hard to change a nature developed since childhood... Not so easy to change.
The reason I was assertive today, actually, there are two reasons.
First is Senior Yuyou’s extraordinary strength, even Qingyun’s master Huo Yuan is no match for Senior Yuyou.
Thinking of this, I had much fewer worries, and dared to be assertive.
Second, Huo Yuan’s disciple had previously tried to kill me in the mountain range for no reason.
And even when I hid, she could find my whereabouts.
It seems she has some means of tracking.
Perhaps I have some mark on me.
I thought that if I spared her life, she would try every means to kill me.
So why spare her?
Even if she didn’t die, when she is powerless against me, she might still seek her master for help.
The crisis I face would be no less.
Since that’s the case, it’s better to strike her hard to eliminate future troubles.
Unfortunately, she was still left with a life, adding a bit of a hidden danger for me."
Yu Chou shook his head: "Her hands probably can’t be saved.
Even if they are saved, pulling a bow and shooting arrows in the future would not be possible.
The Immortal Bow Mansion has been arrogant over the years.
Maybe they thought everyone would fear them; they probably never expected to encounter such a thing."
Seeing the two seniors didn’t mind, Shen Han was completely relieved.
In fact, Shen Han was still a bit worried that he brought trouble to the sect.
After talking about these matters, Yu Chou no longer mentioned them.
Looking at Shen Han, with no one around, he couldn’t help but ask about the rumors.
"Heard that you’ve already admired someone?"
He started with that...
"News spreads so fast, even Sect Leader has heard it..."
Shen Han had a wry smile on his face, having expected it to spread when he said it.
He could accept it in his heart.
"That person, is Su Jinyu’s former master?"
Just as he finished speaking, Yu Chou quickly added: "The old man can understand, understand.
Nowadays, everyone has their preferences, I even heard that the third son of Cheng Courtyard fell for a statue recently.
You just prefer someone a bit older, normal, normal."
Shen Han didn’t know what to say, so he hesitated for a moment and could only nod.
"Shen Han, have you already decided on that person in your heart?"
"Yes, disciple has only her in my heart, she is the only one I can hold."
Shen Han answered softly, but there was determination in his words.
"Have you come to the Divine Land to hone yourself, just to be worthy of her?
If she stays with you only because of your talent, such a companion is not meaningful.
Two people coming together require mutual dependence and mutual care.
No one knows if tomorrow they might face calamity.
If they come for your talent and potential, they will leave because of your downfall."
Upon hearing this, Shen Han quickly explained, "Sect Leader, rest assured, she is a very, very good person.
When I first met her, I was just an ordinary person beginning my cultivation journey.
If she truly coveted talent and potential, how could she have ended up with me."
Saying this, Shen Han’s face involuntarily broke into a smile.
Seeing Shen Han like this, Yu Chou understood despite himself.
He originally wanted to say something, but swallowed his words.
Such matters cannot be forced, and saying more is of no use.
After a chat, Yu Chou also prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Shen Han handed the Storage Ring to Yu Chou.
He knew the rules well, that the items found during treasure hunting in the mountains had to be handed over to the sect for processing.
Shen Han understood clearly; the sect spent so many resources to cultivate disciples.
Disciples also need to contribute in return.
Yu Chou hesitated for a moment but still accepted it.
Other disciples handed over their discoveries too; Shen Han couldn’t be the only exception.
"After going back, the sect will prepare some Pills for you.
The Forbidden Land trial of Snow Mountain House is next month.
Prepare well; I await your return from there, with a grand achievement."
Snow Mountain House’s Forbidden Land trial, strength of the Immortal Realm...
Though restraining himself, the thought of entering the Immortal Realm still filled him with hidden excitement.
Immortal Realm, the constantly longed-for Immortal Realm.
There are many rumors about Snow Mountain House, but there is one consistent point.
Snow Mountain House’s Forbidden Land has indeed allowed many to enter the True Immortal Realm.
However, Shen Han still did his best to suppress the anticipation in his heart.
Reducing psychological expectations might allow him to be more stable during cultivation.
With night passing, the sects of the Northern Three Domains together embarked on ships to return.
Except the people from Cangxuan Valley, who were said to have already left last night.
Always holding a leading position among sects in the Northern Three Domains, Cangxuan Valley’s reputation seems to have diminished drastically this year.
Moreover, it fell sharply all of a sudden.
Without Cangxuan Valley’s participation, the treasure hunt in the mountains had yielded much better results, leading many to feel restless.
In contrast, the reputation of the Star Tower soared.
Especially Shen Han’s match with Qingyun, which secured him a high-ranking fourth place.
Not only in the Northern Three Domains, but even in the Inner Domain, Star Tower gained a lot of fame.
Some have begun to seriously study Star Tower.
Upon returning to the sect, Shen Han discovered that Senior Yu You had also come back to Star Tower.
He truly remembered his promise.
He said Shen Han could observe his cultivation journey, and he directly came to Star Tower to cultivate.
This Senior Yu You is truly a man of his word.
Originally, Shen Han hadn’t planned to observe Senior Yu You’s cultivation methods.
After all, he had not yet reached the True Immortal Realm, let alone the Profound Immortal Realm heading towards the Golden Immortal step.
For him, that step was still extremely distant.
But this time, Shen Han earnestly observed.
He might be far from that step.
Yet perhaps he should collect these experiences.
Not just for his own future.
If he returned to Great Wei, he could also offer inspiration to Shi Yuezhu, Dean Tianyi, and other powerful figures in the Immortal Realm.
The biggest Cultivation Room in Star Tower had now been entirely handed over to Shen Han and Yu You for cultivation.
An old man and a young one, just like before the mountain treasure hunt, were cultivating together.
Shen Han felt a sense of poignancy.
People are inherently lazy; after prolonged cultivation, they always feel incredibly fatigued.
Whenever this happens, Shen Han would take a break, sometimes needing about a day to recover.
But looking at Senior Yu You, how many years has he been cultivating diligently?
He is still able to stay calm and focused in his cultivation and improve.
Although I wish to comfort myself with work-rest balance, seeing Senior Yu You’s tireless effort makes me feel somewhat ashamed as a junior.
This month, Shen Han mainly observed Senior Yu You’s cultivation.
Whenever he didn’t understand something, he frequently consulted with Senior Yu You.
The questions Shen Han asked mainly focused on the Loose Immortal Realm, stepping into the True Immortal Realm.
From Senior Yu You, Shen Han got a detailed understanding of the Divine Land’s perspective on the True Immortal Realm for the first time.
In this Divine Land, the True Immortal Realm somewhat corresponds to the Immortal Realm of Great Wei.
When a cultivator steps into the Immortal Realm, it marks a significant transformation.
The difference between immortals and humans is as vast as the sky and earth.
The major difference in stepping into the Immortal Realm is body strength.
When people previously didn’t understand the Immortal Realm well, they even thought entering the Immortal Realm meant immortality.
Even when seriously wounded, one wouldn’t fall.
But later, it was discovered that Immortals too can die, though their vitality is much more resilient.
A Third Grade Immortal Realm and Fourth Grade simultaneously face a sword.
Fourth Grade may perish, but the Third Grade Immortal Realm may only suffer superficial injuries.
Stepping into the Immortal Realm, transcending the ordinary.
