Chapter 442: The Arrival of Running Thunder Great Sage
"We pay our respects to Elder Babao and Elder Xuanjing."
The disciples of the Giant God Academy saw the two people and greeted them in unison.
"Rise."
As the two elders spoke, they landed beside Cao Youqian.
Cao Youqian: "I have met the two Martial Uncles."
"Greetings, Holy Son."
The two elders also returned the courtesy to Cao Youqian.
After speaking, Elder Babao turned to the disciples on the square and said, "All of you should know why this elder has gathered you here today. Enough with the pleasantries, board the ships and set out!"
"Yes!"
After the disciples responded.
Several dark clouds suddenly drifted over from the sky.
At first glance, they were nine flying ships that blotted out the sky. After these ships landed, the disciples of the Giant God Academy orderly boarded the vessels.
Cao Youqian also followed the two elders onto the main ship. The few of them entered a spacious cabin and sat down around a table.
Cao Youqian then took out some high-quality spirit tea from his storage ring and began to brew tea for everyone at the tea table.
Before long, the rich, fragrant aroma of the tea made the two elders feel refreshed.
Elder Babao said, "I didn't expect that not only is the Holy Son's cultivation extraordinary, but his skill in brewing tea is also first-class."
Cao Youqian said with a smile, "Back when I was under my master's tutelage and had not yet begun to cultivate, I followed my master in learning the various arts. Among them, the one I was most proficient in was brewing tea."
As he spoke, he poured tea for the two elders, filling their cups one by one.
Elder Babao and Elder Xuanjing were both Great Sages of the Giant God Academy.
Elder Babao cultivated the Eight Treasures Golden Body, while Elder Xuanjing's technique was the Glazed Crystal Body. The latter was the Great Sage who had been defeated by Cao Youqian with a single punch.
The two Great Sages then raised their teacups and said in unison, "Then we shall not be polite."
"Please."
After speaking, Cao Youqian poured a cup for himself and sat down.
Ha...
After taking a small sip, the two of them showed expressions of enjoyment.
"Good tea. In all my life, I have never drunk such fine tea." Great Sage Babao remarked with emotion.
"I am suddenly starting to yearn for the life at the Wendao Academy. Holy Son, could you tell us about the life of Great Sage Qiankun?" Great Sage Xuanjing then started a conversation.
"Of course. We are idle anyway."
Cao Youqian placed the teacup in his hand on the tea table, a look of reminiscence on his face as he said slowly, "My master's life, to use his own words to describe it, is two words—'Buddha-like'."
???
Confused expressions appeared on the two men's faces.
Great Sage Babao asked, "Could it be that Great Sage Qiankun cultivates the Buddhist Dao?"
Cao Youqian shook his head. "No, what my master cultivates is the Dao, the pure Dao. It can be said that all Daos are within his control, and thus he earned the name Great Sage Qiankun."
Hiss...
Hearing this, the two Great Sages subconsciously gasped. It was not that they had never seen powerful experts.
But every powerful expert specialized in a single Dao, taking one path to its absolute limit, and finally becoming a Saint or a True God.
Yet this Great Sage Qiankun was beyond everyone's expectations. He actually chose to cultivate all ten thousand Daos.
"How exactly did Great Sage Qiankun manage to do it?"
Great Sage Xuanjing looked at Cao Youqian and muttered to himself.
Cao Youqian took a sip of tea and continued, "I heard that before my master took on disciples, he spent two and a half years mastering all the miscellaneous arts to their absolute limit. It can be said that in the entire Wendao Academy, when it comes to the miscellaneous arts, he is number one."
"Hearing you say this, Holy Son, this old one truly wishes to witness the demeanor of that Great Sage Qiankun." Great Sage Babao remarked with emotion.
Cao Youqian said with a smile, "Martial Uncle, if you are willing, you can come with me to the Wendao Academy after my training is complete. My master enjoys making friends the most."
Hearing this, the two of them said in unison, "Good, when the time is right, we will definitely go and pay a visit to Great Sage Qiankun."
...
"Achoo!"
On Miaomiao Mountain.
Chu Feng, who was lying in the courtyard sunbathing, could not help but sneeze. He subconsciously rubbed his nose and muttered, "I wonder who is talking about how handsome I am behind my back."
Wang Baole, who was standing beside Chu Feng, was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, not knowing what to say.
Chu Feng set his gaze on Wang Baole. "Xiao Pang, did you come to me, your master, for something important?"
Wang Baole cupped his hands and said, "Master, this disciple has heard that the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion will hold a Culinary God Competition in Wushuang City, inviting talented individuals from all over the world to participate. I have also received an invitation and am here to bid you farewell."
"The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion certainly has a lot of activities."
Chu Feng remarked with a sigh, then waved his hand and said, "Very well, you may go and participate in the competition."
"Yes."
As Wang Baole spoke, he turned to leave. He looked at Chu Feng with a hesitant expression, really wanting to say something.
Master, surely you aren't planning to show off your skills?
However, he quickly came to his senses. How could a supreme expert like his master attend such a minor event?
Before Wang Baole could leave, Shi Xuan hurried in. He bowed to the two of them and said, "Master, Senior Brother."
"What is it?"
Chu Feng asked.
Shi Xuan said respectfully, "Master, Senior Brother Benlei has brought his descendant to the Wendao Academy to seek a master. He asked if you would like the Young Master of Thunderclap Villa to participate in the assessment."
Chu Feng said, "He is one of us, so there is no need. However, if that young fellow has no achievements within three years, let him go to another academy on his own."
"Yes."
After Shi Xuan finished speaking, he turned to leave but was stopped by Chu Feng after only a few steps.
"Wait."
Hearing this, Shi Xuan turned around and asked, "Master, do you have any other instructions for this disciple?"
Chu Feng's fingers tapped lightly on the stone table beside him. "You will handle the enrollment arrangements. Have Benlei come to the courtyard to find this one."
Shi Xuan: "This disciple obeys."
After speaking, the two of them left the Chief's Courtyard together.
Chu Feng, on the other hand, slowly closed his eyes and quietly waited for Great Sage Benlei's arrival.
In less time than it takes to drink a cup of tea, a familiar voice came from outside the courtyard gate.
"Your student, Benlei, has come to pay respects to Master."
Chu Feng slowly opened his eyes and said, "Come in."
"Thank you, Master."
After entering the courtyard, Great Sage Benlei carefully looked around. He never expected that the number one Great Sage of the current era would live in such an ordinary courtyard, which seemed somewhat inconsistent with his status.
"Sit."
Chu Feng said a single word faintly.
"Yes."
Although Great Sage Benlei had lived for over a thousand years, in front of Chu Feng, he was no different from a primary school student.
Chu Feng casually pushed a cup of tea in front of Great Sage Benlei and asked unhurriedly, "How long do you plan to stay at the Wendao Academy this time?"
Great Sage Benlei thought for a moment and said, "This student wishes to stay for some time to ask Master for guidance on cultivation matters."
While blowing on his tea, Chu Feng said, "Very well. It has been a while since we last met. We can have a good chat this time. As for cultivation matters, we can discuss them tomorrow."
Great Sage Benlei: "Yes."
