"Young Master Zhou, may I ask the purpose of your visit?"

Elder Liu, who knew Zhou Yi, quickly approached with a friendly smile.

"Sigh! The reputation of my master is truly overwhelming."

Seeing this, Zhou Yi felt a bit helpless. "With such a humble attitude, how am I supposed to proceed?"

However, Zhou Yi had no choice but to go ahead with the task of challenging the six great sects.

"Fortunately, my master didn't come along. Otherwise, Lingxu Cave Heaven would have immediately surrendered."

Feeling relieved, Zhou Yi addressed Elder Liu, "Under my master's guidance, I have made some progress in my cultivation. My master mentioned that Lingxu Cave Heaven also has a heritage of the Dao Sutra. So, I came to spar with the disciples of Lingxu Cave Heaven. Would your sect grant me this opportunity?"

"Uh?"

Elder Liu was taken aback.

Dao Sutra heritage? The introductory teachings of the Dao Sutra are widespread across the world! Even though the Dao Sutra was authored by the Heavenly Venerable, why specifically seek us out?

You are a disciple of the Heavenly Venerable. Who dares to spar with you? If you get hurt, and the Heavenly Venerable is displeased, our entire sect could be wiped out!

However, since Zhou Yi had already come, they had to give an explanation.

"Please allow us a moment to discuss this."

Unable to make a decision, Elder Liu excused himself and hurried back to confer with Headmaster Li and the other elders.

"Everyone, there's no need to be overly anxious."

Headmaster Li quickly made a decision. "Since he's already here, we must engage in the sparring. Besides, we don't need to worry too much. Since the Heavenly Venerable sent him here, it's likely intended as a training exercise. As long as we don't cause serious injury or death, minor injuries should be acceptable."

"That makes sense."

The elders nodded in agreement.

"Then let the disciples spar with him."

Having made the decision, Headmaster Li and the others escorted Zhou Yi into Lingxu Cave Heaven.

Arriving at the martial arts field, Headmaster Li and Elder Liu chatted with Zhou Yi while the other elders prepared for the upcoming matches.

Before long, the disciples of Lingxu Cave Heaven gathered at the martial arts field.

"Hey, Ye Fan, isn't that Zhou Yi?"

Pang Bo pointed to Zhou Yi, who was chatting with Headmaster Li on the platform, and turned to Ye Fan.

"It really is Zhou Yi!"

Ye Fan was astonished. "Isn't he following the Heavenly Venerable? What's he doing here?"

"Who knows?"

Pang Bo shrugged indifferently, looking at Zhou Yi with some envy. "Having a powerful backer sure makes a difference! Look at him, the Headmaster is personally hosting him, treating him like a VIP. Having connections really makes life easier!"

"Background and connections aren't the most important things in this world. The most important thing is one's own strength."

Despite his words, Ye Fan couldn't help feeling a bit dejected.

Possessing the unparalleled Saint Physique, he found it unsuitable for cultivation. After more than a month, his Bitter Sea remained inactive, unable even to begin the journey of cultivation. How could Ye Fan feel happy about that?
