"Turquoise Lake Sword Manor!"
At this moment, a flash of realization passed through the eyes of everyone present.
The Turquoise Lake Sword Manor, one of the foremost Void Refinement Realm powers of the Qingyun Region!
The origins and background if the Turquoise Lake Sword Manor were shrouded in fog and mystery, with no proper evidence. But there were claims that the Turquoise Lake Swordmaster had obtained the inheritance of an Immortal God, thus creating the Turquoise Lake Sword Manor.
Although it has less than a thousand disciples, with the formidable strength of the Turquoise Lake Swordmaster, it could stand among the top of the food chain in the entire Qingyun Region.
It was said that the Turquoise Lake Swordmaster only had a single Personal Disciple, who was a prodigy in the Sword Dao and could fight opponents of multiple minor realms higher than his own.
It seems the rumors were true after all!
...
A few months later.
Eternal Peak.
Lu Qingfeng had finished consolidating his cultivation and was sitting in front of Tian Yongheng in his cave abode.
Seeing him, Tian Yongheng nodded slightly, "How long will you be in the outside world?" He asked in a calm, casual tone of voice.
"Replying to master’s question, it will take me at least a few decades to calm my mind. To truly gain experience, it may even take me a whole century." Lu Qingfeng answered truthfully.
"Hmm. I understand."
I’ve already imparted the 108 Celestial Swords to him, which should be enough for now. Otherwise, if he gets other skills and focuses on them more, he’ll likely neglect his cultivation.
With this thought in mind, Tian Yongheng suddenly raised his hand in front of him, seemingly grabbing the air as he pulled a few things out of the system space.
"There are some bottles of Foundation Establishment Pills, and there are also some Acquired Pills for when you breakthrough to the Acquired Realm. And also..."
Tian Yongheng slowly took out many things, including protecting Talismans, Array Formations, sets of exquisite clothes, flying swords etcetera and handed them over to Lu Qingfeng.
Truth be told, he was quite worried about him going into the outside world. There were no rules there and no one to protect him, thus, he could only give him as many hidden cards as possible to avoid danger.
He would’ve had another trustworthy person go with Lu Qingfeng, but that wasn’t possible right now as Tian Yunchen had already entered seclusion to breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm and Yan Jingfei was in seclusion too.
He himself couldn’t afford to neglect his cultivation, as who knows what might happen in the future. He needed to have sufficient strength.
Left with no other choice, this was the least he could do in his point of view.
At this point, after contemplating for a while, be took out two more things from the system space.
One was the Purple Silk Robe, a Rank-3 protective Dharma Artifact he had worn before, and the other was the Black Tortoise Shell, another Rank-3 protective Dharma Artifact.
He simultaneously handed Lu Qingfeng the two treasures and said, "Since safety is of utmost paramountcy here, it wouldn’t hurt to have two more defensive Dharma Artifacts. They’re of Rank-3, take them."
His voice was serious, leaving no doubts.
Lu Qingfeng couldn’t help but be deeply touched.
Master truly cares about both me and senior sister!
He didn’t say anything else and just took the two Dharma Artifacts.
"The cultivation world is cruel and unjust. You will encounter many unfair and treacherous situations in the outside world, but your mentality should be strong enough. I doubt you’ll ever fall into danger unless you offend enemies beyond your limits, which I don’t suggest doing. But if you still encounter any grave danger, do not hesitate to contact me through the Symphony of Infinite Distance."
Tian Yongheng warned carefully, making sure that Lu Qingfeng understood how cutthroat the cultivation world was, where even blood turned against each other for the sake of benefits, thousands of years of friendship amounted to nothing, and one couldn’t trust anyone completely.
"Master, this disciple understands!" Reassuring Tian Yongheng, Lu Qingfeng replied solemnly.
Truly, the world of Immortal Cultivation is far more dangerous and unpredictable than the Martial World of the mortal realm where I was in.
Lu Qingfeng also naturally knew of this, as he had heard the stories of his fellow disciples involving the cultivation world where even blood ties did not mean anything.
"Good, now go back and rest. You can decide when to leave. And remember, don’t ever be arrogant or restless. Being humble while holding the power to destroy heaven and earth is the true way. Do not use your power to bully the weak, that’s something cultivators who have strayed from the Immortal Dao do." Saying this, Tian Yongheng waved his hand dismissively.
Lu Qingfeng also didn’t stay any longer, cupping his fists and bowing one last time before leaving his cave abode.
Right now, he was extremely excited. Being cooped up inside of the Eternal Peak since he stepped onto the path to immortality, he hadn’t seen the true world of Immortals and Demons mentioned in the myths and legends.
He couldn’t wait to see the magnificence and majesty of the world of Immortal Cultivation.
Dignified and powerful people flying past, some using flying swords, some using other treasures, secret realms, ghosts, evil spirits, floating islands, mountains surrounded by heavenly mist, Demons, Dragons, Phoenix, exciting battles and adventures, addressing each other as "fellow daoists", splitting mountains and rivers with a single sword strike, powerful factions, inheritances of the past, mystical and mythical figures, ancient gods and goddesses, fairies, saints, flying through the sky in the shape of a bolt of lightning and changing the weather.
It was on a completely different level compared to the Martial World!
What are Martial Arts in front of Immortal Arts?
Lu Qingfeng naturally knew the answer.
Even the top experts of Jianghu were nothing more than ants in front of the weakest Qi Condensation Realm cultivator.
What First-Rate Martial Artists, what Martial Grandmasters!
At this point, he felt an extreme rage for what he had to go through in the past because of the Martial World. His entire family had to die because of something he was forced to do.
It was unacceptable. He was a powerful Immortal Cultivator with the True Yang Body and great Providence, how could he be treated like this?
However, at this very moment, he suddenly remembered Tian Yongheng’s words.
"Being humble while holding the power to destroy heaven and earth is the way."
He had a sudden realization!
Arrogance!
I had gotten extremely arrogant after becoming an Immortal Cultivator!
Even though there are beings out there who could kill me with a thought, I was still so arrogant!
Hiss!
At the thought of this, the look of disdain and arrogance in Lu Qingfeng’s eyes quickly dissipated and became normal.
Master has told me that taking revenge is fine, but to become arrogant or let the hatred consume you is not!
Not just that, I even disregarded the existence of so many powerful beings in the cultivation world by thinking that I’m the most powerful!
Ignorance is the same as arrogance, never to be cultivated!
After calming down his heart and discarding all the useless thoughts, Lu Qingfeng finally left to rest in his cave abode for a few days so as to calm down his mind even more and then pack up his things to leave.

7 days passed by in an instant.
Today, after packing up all his necessary belongings and bidding farewell to his fellow disciples, he went up to Tian Yongheng’s cave abode.
Both Tian Yunchen and Yan Jingfei were in seclusion, so he couldn’t meet them as he was leaving, feeling a bit regretful.
Tian Yongheng sat on a bamboo chair under the shade of a tree right outside of his cave abode at the summit of the mountain. Gazing off into the distant rising sun, which was covered in a layer of gloomy clouds, he turned to look at Lu Qingfeng, who had been standing there for quite a while.
It was the month of August, with summer reaching its end and Autumn about to begin, dark clouds occasionally showing up in the sky and drizzling down.
"Master, I’m leaving today." Lu Qingfeng spoke softly, turning his gaze to look at the gloomy clouds looking even more evident now.
It will rain today.
He thought.
"Experiencing the outside world is important, but don’t forget your limits and apply the things I have taught you to reality. Remember my teachings. That’s all I have to say. Your fate will decide your journey’s outcome." Tian Yongheng spoke calmly.
"This disciple understands." Lu Qingfeng bowed for one last time before walking away, descending down the mountain on foot and not using any Spiritual Energy.
He had an expression of firm belief and resolution.
This is my first venture into the cultivation world, and thus, will be the most important one in my whole life.
Thinking of this, his resolve became even more firm.
Looking at his disciple’s departing figure, Tian Yongheng felt a mixture of emotions, like a parent allowing their child to venture into the world for the very first time.
He nodded approvingly before turning around and entered his cave abode.
