871 A Difficult Decision

"I'm so angry."

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. At this moment, Daoist Tianfeng's face was red with anger, and his killing intent soared. He could not tolerate that his disciple had actually lost to a little girl in front of so many disciples, and in such a dramatic way.

How embarrassing!

Seeing that his teacher was so angry, Xiao Jinse smiled bitterly and did not say anything. He only watched quietly. After calming down for a long time, he finally said, "Master, don't be angry. I've seen that little fellow. Although she looks young, her potential is not low.

"Actually, I can't see through the exact evaluation, but at least I know that she's definitely not weak. It can be said that Junior Brother Xu's loss is not unjustified. Moreover, he lost in this way. It's not too embarrassing."

Xiao Jinse thought for a moment and decided to plead for mercy for Xu Feng. Otherwise, he knew very well that once his teacher was angry, Xu Feng would definitely be locked up for a hundred years.

A hundred years. Although it was not too long for them, it was a huge blow to a genius.

This missing hundred years was enough to change many things. The peers of your era might have already reached a height that you could not reach when you came out again. It would be fine if it was someone with a firm will. Even if they were imprisoned, they could still maintain a good mentality and cultivate without being affected at all.

However, if his will was not firm, it would often destroy him.

"You're still pleading for him?" Daoist Tianfeng said gloomily when he saw that Xiao Jinse was willing to intercede for Xu Feng.

Xiao Jinse smiled easily and said, "Why not? You expect too much from them, that's why you're so strict with them.

"Actually, Master, among many disciples of the same generation, they are already outstanding enough. Extremely strong expectations will instead give them a lot of pressure and neglect the essence of cultivation, causing their mentality to change and walk on the wrong path."

Hearing his words, Daoist Tianfeng fell silent. In the face of right and wrong, Xiao Jinse was always more open-minded than him. Perhaps this was his rarest advantage.

Daoist Tianfeng admired his merits and did not continue to refute. Now that he compared it, he suddenly felt that his worries were unnecessary.

At this moment, Xiao Jinse's entire body seemed to be emitting light. He was so outstanding. Be it his mentality or his will, he was so outstanding. How could he lose? Moreover, even if he lost, with his carefree personality, he would not break down just like that. Instead, it would provoke his even stronger fighting spirit.

"Haha, I'm very gratified that you think so." Daoist Tianfeng let go. After a while, he continued to ask, "But what do you think of Ye Qiu?"

The topic returned to the original point. No matter what they discussed today, there was actually one person who couldn't leave, and that was Ye Qiu.

And now, Xiao Jinse's true potential threat came from this. Although Daoist Tianfeng had been silent for a hundred years and had just come out of seclusion, he had asked about the current situation of the Heaven Mending holy land.

Currently, there were actually not many experts who could truly threaten Xiao Jinse.

Apart from Ye Qiu, only Ming Yue was left. He did not know Ming Yue very well and had never interacted with her before. He did not know how outstanding she was. However, he had already seen Ye Qiu before. His evaluation of him was naturally very high.

Xiao Jinse had met Ye Qiu once before. He really wanted to hear Xiao Jinse's thoughts.

Under the quiet night, the faint candle flame in the hall was slowly blown by the breeze and was on the verge of collapse. It seemed to have the intention to be extinguished, but in an instant, it regained its light.

Xiao Jinse quietly sized up this ball of candlelight. He felt like he was in a dream, as if there were many Dharmic Dao profundities hidden in this small candle flame. After a long silence, he said, "This person is… very strong! At the very least, his attainments in the Sword Dao are not inferior to mine. I actually don't know how strong he is, but my intuition clearly tells me that he is definitely a huge threat."

This was Xiao Jinse's truest evaluation. Although they had not fought head-on before, in reality, they had already had a short and no clamor contest. Perhaps only the two of them knew the outcome.

Daoist Tianfeng fell silent. He could tell that someone who could make his proud head disciple value him so much must be extraordinary.

"As expected, his reputation is not in vain. Then what do you plan to do?"

Daoist Tianfeng looked at Xiao Jinse solemnly, wanting to see what he was thinking.

Xiao Jinse smiled, then said his thoughts, "Master, to be honest, I'm really grateful to him."

Daoist Tianfeng frowned and remained silent.

Xiao Jinse continued, "Before he appeared, no one dared to think that someone in our human race could really open twelve Heavenly Sanctums. To us humans, he is a legendary founder, a person worthy of admiration.

"It's also because of his appearance that I understand one principle. A true genius doesn't depend on how outstanding you can perform under limited conditions. Instead, it can break through these conventional shackles and create an unimaginable miracle under many restrictions and shackles.

"Perhaps this is the meaning of a genius's existence. At least before him, no one had ever thought that our human race could open twelve Heavenly Sanctums, let alone challenge it."

At this point, Xiao Jinse's eyes were filled with admiration. The more he understood, the more he admired Ye Qiu. Although they were opponents, this did not stop Xiao Jinse from admiring him. All these years, only true experts could make Xiao Jinse respect them from the bottom of his heart.

Xiao Jinse smiled and continued, "Master, I've already decided to reopen the Heavenly Sanctum and borrow his light to reconstruct myself."

This was a very difficult decision. Once Xiao Jinse chose to walk this path, it meant that he had tacitly agreed that he was inferior to Ye Qiu in this aspect. He could also afford to be able to go with the flow. This was his rarest advantage.

If it were anyone else, they might not be able to lower their heads and accept this. For example, people like Ye Qingxuan. They could not accept it so they had never chosen to reopen the Heavenly Sanctum and continued to cultivate.

Comparatively speaking, Xiao Jinse's decision was undoubtedly the best.

Reopening the Heavenly Sanctum was extremely beneficial to his future. Not to mention his own potential that could be opened to the limit, these twelve Heavenly Sanctums were extremely beneficial to all his future cultivation.

Once he grasped his first immortal energy, the true power of the twelve Heavenly Sanctums would slowly begin to reveal itself.

A powerful and perfect foundation was his strongest confidence on his future path.

Therefore, this was a very difficult choice.
