Mundane World Venture

Inside the small world, the water in the ancient well rose at a visible speed, but it stopped after just a few breaths.

Ye Xiaowei internally observed the small world, and a bitter smile reappeared on his lips.

Although he had now entered the Spirit Awakening, the water in the ancient well was still very scarce.

It only covered the bottom of the well, and filling the entire well would undoubtedly be a challenging task.

However, progress and additions were always welcome.

Ye Xiaowei lifted the bucket, poured all the water from the ancient well onto the withered tree, and then exited the small world.

As Ye Xiaowei entered the Spirit Awakening, his small world gradually underwent some changes.

The dilapidated wooden house had fewer holes, and in its place, there were some small ravines.

These ravines were very small, almost invisible if one didn't pay attention.

Ye Xiaowei moved his body, feeling that his limbs had gained a lot of strength.

His dantian also became much more abundant.

This robust feeling made him feel comfortable and wonderful.

With a slight movement of his body, crackling sounds echoed, as if power were bursting forth.

Due to the breakthrough in realms, his body became stronger, and the previously frail state improved.

Looking at the thunderstruck wood, Ye Xiaowei also felt sentimental.

There was always a way forward in adversity; under destruction, there was also new life.

However, Ye Xiaowei also noticed a fact.

Although the thunderstruck wood had sprouted tender shoots, it seemed impossible for it to return to its previous vitality.

Even though Ye Xiaowei gained enlightenment from this thunderstruck wood, he did not believe that he would be like the wood.

This was just the beginning, an insight into entering the Spirit Awakening.

What he wanted was a complete recovery.

Though it was a very perilous task, he still had to try.

He had no retreat; he could only continue forward.

Ye Xiaowei bowed to the thunderstruck wood, showing his respect.

Learn from all things; everything can be a teacher!

After a moment's pause, Ye Xiaowei returned to his courtyard and comfortably lay on a bamboo chair, looking completely at ease.

Entering the Spirit Awakening was a matter of course with his current resources and situation.

Moreover, Ye Xiaowei's progress was still considered slow.

Deep inside, Ye Xiaowei was secretly delighted.

Taking this step had a different significance for him.

However, he didn't show it and remained calm as ever.

He closed his eyes again, internally observing his small world and sensing the changes within.

Of course, most of the time, he was still watching the ancient well.

Sitting beside the ancient well, he looked at the scarce water, a faint smile playing on his lips.

The path of Tao was arduous, and recovery was not easy.

There were very few things achieved in one fell swoop.

Ye Xiaowei did not believe he was the chosen one favored by the heavens.

Therefore, he could only rely on his own abilities to defy fate.

Certainly, Ye Xiaowei had another perspective on this.

If his luck was so bad, terrifyingly bad, then it must be the reverse.

He carried an extraordinary destiny burden, which weighed him down.

As long as he persisted, when his luck improved, everything would change drastically.

Ye Xiaowei opened his eyes again when he sensed Zhao Shisan's presence.

"Senior Sister Zhao." Ye Xiaowei stood up and greeted as usual.

Zhao Shisan glanced at Ye Xiaowei, and her gaze suddenly fixed on him because she noticed that today, his aura was different from before.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Ye, for entering the Spirit Awakening in just half a year." Zhao Shisan smiled.

For ordinary people, it might take several years to reach this level, making one a genius if achieved in half a year.

However, Ye Xiaowei had used the Deciphered Lotus Altar, and his speed could only be described as slow.

Of course, if Ye Xiaowei hadn't gained insight from the thunderstruck wood yesterday, this time might have been further delayed.

"I think the Peak Master is probably impatient with me and very disappointed. Your congratulations, it's really..." Ye Xiaowei said, shaking his head with a bitter smile.

Ye Xiaowei knew the thoughts of these people.

Certainly, Zhao Shisan's congratulations had a different meaning, but there were still many questions she couldn't figure out.

Ye Xiaowei's talent was not bad, and he diligently practiced in front of the Deciphered Lotus Altar every day.

The difficulty in breaking through the realm might be due to some inexplicable issues.

During the half-year of their interaction, Zhao Shisan also noticed that something seemed off about Ye Xiaowei's body.

The breath of a young man should be like the rising sun, but Ye Xiaowei was more like the setting sun.

That was the problem.

"The speed of cultivation is not everything. Your entry into the Spirit Awakening this time is different from ordinary Spirit Awakening cultivators," Zhao Shisan said with a smile.

Ye Xiaowei shook his head and said, "What’s the difference?"

Ye Xiaowei's smile looked bitter as if he had countless things he couldn't express, and he could only hold them in his heart, making himself uncomfortable.

Zhao Shisan was a very intelligent woman.

Without pressing further on anything, she walked ahead toward the Deciphered Lotus Altar.

"I heard that you and Junior Sister Jade of Tianxuan Peak have a deep relationship," Zhao Shisan asked.

Ye Xiaowei didn't hesitate and said, "She is my maid."

As these words came out, Zhao Shisan's mouth twitched a few times.

If the Peak Master of Tianxuan Peak heard this, he might draw his sword and come over to kill him directly.

This was originally just a rumor, and Zhao Shisan didn't expect it to be true.

This revelation confirmed her suspicions.

"You are quite fortunate. But you have to be careful. In Eternal Sect, this rumor indicates that someone is hostile to you. You may not have done anything, but inside the sect, you've already made enemies." Zhao Shisan said in a low voice.

Ye Xiaowei could only smile bitterly.

Regarding such matters and questions, he was also helpless.

He had no way to change it.

He also wouldn't change it because it was a fact.

"Moreover, Junior Sister Jade's identity and status are different now. In the future, it's best to be discreet about this matter, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." Zhao Shisan whispered.

This could be considered words of advice, with no malicious intent.

Zhao Shisan just didn't want him to attract any unnecessary trouble.

Ye Xiaowei just smiled and didn't deny or refute anything, simply following her.

This was Ye Xiaowei's temperament, which Zhao Shisan understood to some extent, so she didn't continue to dwell on this issue.

Because she understood a bit more, and her doubts also increased.

Junior Brother Ye had outstanding talent, especially in swordsmanship, but the final presentation was just like this.

Many things didn't make sense.

Especially when occasionally seeing Ye Xiaowei honing his swordsmanship in the Swordplay Arena, the moment he gripped the sword was so much like her senior uncle.

After walking halfway, a pleasant sword sound suddenly came, and Ye Xiaowei and Zhao Shisan both looked up at the sky.

They saw a blue sword aura shining in the sky, appearing exceptionally alarming.

"This is my master's Command Blade. It seems that something happened. Let's go and take a look first." Zhao Shisan whispered.

Ye Xiaowei didn't know what the Command Blade represented.

Although Senior Sister Zhao had mentioned it to him before, it was too general, and he hadn't remembered much.

But he remembered that a blue Command Blade was more urgent, and it wouldn't be used for notifications under normal circumstances.

Ye Xiaowei didn't ask much and followed behind Zhao Shisan, quickly heading towards the Swordplay Arena below the Command Blade.

At the same time, all the disciples of Goddess Peak, upon seeing the blue Command Blade, also quickly gathered at the Swordplay Arena.

Their speed was incredibly fast.

When Zhao Shisan and Ye Xiaowei arrived, there were already many people gathered in the Swordplay Arena.

Upon seeing these two, a path quickly cleared.

Today, no one teased Ye Xiaowei because the situation was different.

Making way was, of course, a significant reason because Zhao Shisan had arrived.

At this point, many disciples began to discuss among themselves, their curiosity piqued.

They were wondering about the Peak Master's intention behind sending the Command Blade today.

The Swordplay Arena was quite large, capable of accommodating several hundred people.

Even if all the disciples of Goddess Peak gathered, there was still plenty of space.

In the center of the Swordplay Arena stood a massive stone platform, where the Peak Master of Goddess Peak Yun Mu was positioned.

Two elders flanked her on either side.

Yun Mu's expression was very solemn, and her gaze fell upon Zhao Shisan and Ye Xiaowei.

Seeing Ye Xiaowei, Yun Mu's gaze became complex.

Initially, the Eternal Sect was saying that Goddess Peak had found a treasure again.

However, after the extraordinary swordplay and the subsequent feat of facing seven opponents alone, Ye Xiaowei had been appearing mediocre without achieving anything remarkable, leaving her somewhat puzzled.

Nevertheless, Yun Mu was patient.

She was waiting.

Observing that Ye Xiaowei had entered the Spirit Awakening, her complexion improved somewhat.

If Ye Xiaowei's situation continued as it had before, Yun Mu's patience might have been exhausted.

"I remember now. Is today's gathering related to the Mundane World Venture that occurs once every three years?"

A senior sister suddenly patted her forehead and exclaimed.

Some others who had experienced it immediately caught on.

Indeed, the time had really come.
