I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

Chapter 674: Chapter 358 Reunion on Canglan Island

The Flying Boat shot through the sky like a streak of light, and Xu Yan turned to look back, smiling as he said, "An old acquaintance has arrived."

Bai Yunkong, the headmaster of the Great Wilderness Martial Arts Institute, hadn't seen much change in his strength over the years, but the Martial Arts he practiced had become different, neither the Inner Realm Martial Arts nor the pure Great Wilderness Martial Arts.

He was trying to break the shackles of the Inner Domain, attempting to advance beyond the Minor Celestial Realm.

Of course, if he were to break through, he wouldn't be called a Minor Celestial, but a Pseudo Divine Intent, which would be a more fitting description.

The speed of the Flying Boat slowed down.

It was only when he drew near the radiant light that Bai Yunkong realized this was an immense vessel he had never heard of before, its entire body radiating light, imposing and dominant.

It was a sight that inspired awe!

Surely such a Flying Boat didn't exist in the Inner Domain!

"Could it be from the Spiritual Realm?"

Bai Yunkong's heart sank, but if the Spiritual Realm Gate had opened, news would have quickly spread.

However, there was no news of the Spiritual Realm Gate opening.

Even if something had happened at the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion that prevented them from sending a message, the scouts they had arranged should have delivered the news immediately.

The Flying Boat in front slowed down, obviously having noticed his presence.

At this moment, Bai Yunkong's heart was filled with trepidation, hesitating to move forward.

"Headmaster Bai, it's been many years, but you seem to have become more timid," a familiar voice called out.

Bai Yunkong was startled and then saw a familiar figure on the Flying Boat ahead!

Xu Yan!

"Xu Yan?!"

Bai Yunkong was overjoyed and hurriedly approached the Flying Boat.

"You're back?"

Xu Yan said with a smiling face, "Just came back to take a look!"

After boarding the Flying Boat, Bai Yunkong saw Li Xuan and hurriedly bowed in respect.

Li Xuan nodded his head.

Then, he saw other familiar faces, Meng Chong, Su Lingxiu, Du Yuying, Yun Miaomiao, and others were all on the Flying Boat.

Xie Lingfeng from Sword Venerate Cliff was also there.

Bai Yunkong glanced quickly at the people on the Flying Boat; there were old acquaintances as well as strangers.

For instance, the peerlessly beautiful woman attending to an elder did not seem like a woman of the Human Clan.

Following that, he was greatly astonished by the Flying Boat beneath his feet.

Is this something only found in the Spiritual Realm?

"This is a Flying Boat, refined by my junior brother, it doesn't exist in the Spiritual Realm," Xu Yan explained with a smile.

"Junior brother?"

Bai Yunkong instinctively looked towards Meng Chong.

"Definitely not me. The junior brother our master took in the Spiritual Realm isn't here," Meng Chong rolled his eyes. How could this old man think he had refined the Flying Boat?

"I see!"

Bai Yunkong inwardly exclaimed, a great person is indeed a great person.

Even after going to the Spiritual Realm, he's still peerless.

The Flying Boat obviously didn't exist in the Spiritual Realm, indicating it was crafted according to a Dharma bestowed by a great elder.

A reunion with old friends naturally led to catching up on old times.

Bai Yunkong spoke of the changes in the Great Wilderness over the years. Now, the Great Wilderness was divided into thirty-six counties, each with a massive Prefecture City. Under each Prefecture City, there were ten government cities, and under those were numerous counties and towns.

With the Great Wilderness united, order had been established, and the laws were continuously being improved. The Martial Arts were also developing constantly, and the new Martial Artists were all practicing Great Wilderness Martial Arts.

As Bai Yunkong was detailing the changes in the Great Wilderness, Xu Yan and the others couldn't help but feel astonished at how much had changed in just over a decade.

These years had not all been peaceful; upheavals occasionally occurred, instigated by the steadfast adherents of the Inner Realm Martial Arts and by some with malicious intent.

However, the scale was not large, and they were quickly suppressed.

The strongest ninety-nine percent of the Inner Domain had joined the Great Wilderness, and the rest were unable to cause any significant trouble.

Xu Yan also saw some potential worries. After all, there were many Martial Artists in the Inner Domain. If they saw no hope in practicing Great Wilderness Martial Arts and found their paths cut off, they would inevitably harbor certain thoughts.

Especially those top Martial Artists of the Inner Domain were driven to despair by the Spiritual Realm, not willing to live like beasts, but the Great Wilderness Martial Arts had given them hope, hence they supported it.

If they were unable to break through, and their lifespans were drawing to a close, they would likely start to develop dangerous ideas and cause various problems.

However, all of this would no longer be a problem with his return.

With Xu Yan's current understanding of Martial Arts, he had enough insight to guide these people on a path of Martial Arts, even if it wasn't orthodox Great Wilderness Martial Arts, as long as they could continue to improve.

As for how far they could go, it all depended on their talent and aptitude.

If the aptitude was too poor, it was nobody else's fault.

To address these potential threats, personal strength was key. Therefore, on this return trip, Xu Yan intended to offer guidance to his father and others, enhancing their strength to be capable of suppressing the Great Wilderness.

How to train his confidants and cultivate loyal prodigies no longer required his concern; whether it was his grandfather or his father, they understood more than he did.

After Bai Yunkong finished introducing the current situation of the Great Wilderness, he curiously asked, "Xu Yan, what is your current strength?"

Xu Yan smiled and replied, "An undisputed strength in the Spiritual Realm!"

Bai Yunkong was astounded and then sighed with admiration, it was indeed Xu Yan who, even in the Spiritual Realm, remained unmatched.

Truly worthy of being the direct disciple of a great person!

"Headmaster Bai, I encountered the ancestor of your Seven-star Study Palace in the Spiritual Realm," Xu Yan said cheerfully.

"Oh, how is the ancestor doing?" Bai Yunkong asked, not inquiring about the ancestor's strength.

It was certain that he couldn't compare to Xu Yan.

Xu Yan had claimed he was an undisputed force in the Spiritual Realm, indicating the ancestor surely was among those suppressed.

It just wasn't clear if the ancestor had offended Xu Yan and gotten suppressed.

"He's doing well; he's no longer concerned with the academy or spreading Martial Arts but is seeking his destined partner!"
