This kind of detachment from worldly desires allows him to focus on cultivation, but the lack of emotional depth makes it increasingly difficult for him to advance further.

This is one of the reasons why Xiao Yimo has not advanced, besides the deliberate setting and the loss of his luck.

Ever since Xiao Yimo took Tang Xinyan as his concubine, everyone on the entire peak has changed under her subtle influence.

Xiao Yimo, in particular, started to care about his apprentices, becoming more concerned about their every need, and gradually developed a more down-to-earth side.

This warmth and human touch filled Xiao Yimo's heart, filling the void in his emotions and gradually cracking the barriers in his mind.

The warmth of daily interactions, the change in habitual thinking, and the various insights that come with them gradually elevate one's state of mind, leading to the natural development of one's character.

Of course, all of the above refers to conventional cultivation, excluding those who practice special techniques...

Alright, back to the present. Having received Tang Xinyan's affirmative answer, Gu Moxu's worried emotions calmed down a bit, and he nodded firmly as well:

"Yes, Junior Sister is our peak's lucky star. If Junior Sister says it's okay, then it's definitely okay."

Tang Xinyan: "........"

At first glance, this seems reasonable, but it doesn't hold up to scrutiny. Oh well, her fourth senior brother is always so naive and innocent in their presence...

********

The crowd waited for almost half an hour, when finally, a commotion broke out in the sky. The first bolt of lightning, like a waterfall, shot straight down.

It illuminated the entire night sky in an instant. Under normal circumstances, Tang Xinyan would have exclaimed, "Wow, this natural wonder is truly breathtaking!"

But at this moment, she was only deeply worried about whether her master could withstand the lightning strike...

Then the second one was the same, and so on until the last one, when the lightning seemed to engulf the entire mountain.

It left everyone who watched deeply shaken, even those who initially harbored malicious intentions were now filled with fear and awe.

The entire sect seemed to be put on pause. Everyone stared at the dark cloud in the distance, motionless and silent.

Only when the dark clouds dispersed, the radiant light shone, and the seven-colored spiritual rain fell, was the pause button "restored" and the entire sect "restarted".

Qin Linzhang and the two Grand Elders were the first to react. Grand Elder Gong laughed heartily:

“Not bad, not bad. Now that Yi Mo has successfully entered the Mahayana stage, it seems that the two of us also need to step up our efforts.”

Elder Wu, stroking his beard, chuckled and said:

"Yes, this kid has surpassed me, and I'm embarrassed to slack off anymore~~"

Compared to the familiarity with the two Supreme Elders, Qin Linzhang and the other peak masters and elders were much more pragmatic. Qin Linzhang smiled broadly and said excitedly:

"Elder Xiao has successfully advanced to the Mahayana stage. This is not only a joyous occasion for Elder Xiao, but also a great joy for our Xuanming Sect!"

Everyone: "Yes, yes, it's a wonderful occasion! A wonderful occasion indeed!"

........

A constant stream of compliments and flattery followed, but out of consideration for the presence of the two supreme elders, everyone exercised considerable restraint in their praise.

However, this did not include Tang Xinyan's apprentices, who were filled with excitement and deep worry at the moment.

Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on Qin Linzhang, Tang Xinyan leaned closer to Yun Xingnan and Lu Chuan'an and whispered, "..."

"Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, after the spiritual rain ends, should we go to the Tribulation Platform or wait here?"

After a moment's thought, Yun Xingnan and Lu Chuan'an made the first suggestion:

"Let's see what the sect leader and the others think later. We'll follow them. Although Master has spiritual rain to heal him, he still needs to recuperate as soon as possible. I doubt he'll be polite for too long."

Yun Xingnan nodded in agreement:

"Well, yes."

After a short while, the rain stopped. Seeing that Qin Linzhang and his group hadn't moved, Tang Xinyan and the others waited as well. A moment later, Xiao Yimo, dressed in a black robe, appeared before them.

After gesturing to the two Supreme Elders, Qin Linzhang stepped forward slightly and bowed in greeting:

"Congratulations to Elder Xiao on advancing to the Mahayana stage."

Everyone: "Congratulations to Elder Xiao on advancing to the Mahayana stage."

Xiao Yimo nodded slightly and responded calmly:

"Ah."

He then looked at Tang Xinyan, nodded to the group, and then looked at the two elders, greeting them:

"Senior Brother Wu, Senior Brother Gong, thank you for your trouble."

Elder Gong laughed heartily and joked:

"Haha, no, no, from now on we should call you senior brother."

Elder Wu also said:

"That's right, but congratulations to you, kid. You've been quiet for so many years, I didn't expect you to be accumulating strength and then do it all at once."

Xiao Yimo slightly curled his lips:

"You two are joking. Although the cultivation world is all about cultivation level, we've been doing it this way for so many years, there's really no need to be so rigid."

Although Wu and Gong were joking, they didn't mind following the rules. However, hearing that Xiao Yimo didn't insist,

The two men also knew that they were much older than Xiao Yimo, and besides, all three of them now held extraordinary positions, so it did seem awkward for them to call Xiao Yimo "senior brother".

"Alright, then we'll gladly accept your offer."

Neither of them were the type to be coy, and they both nodded in agreement. After exchanging pleasantries, Elder Wu, remembering that Xiao Yimo still needed to consolidate his cultivation, reminded him:

"Alright, let's continue our conversation another day. You should go back and recuperate as soon as possible. We'll need you to oversee the upcoming sect competition."

Elder Gong also agreed:

"That's right, let's go back and consolidate first, and we can talk another day."

Xiao Yimo didn't refuse: "Okay."

After responding, he looked at Tang Xinyan and the others again, gesturing for them to come forward, and introduced them to Wu and Gong:

"This is my newly accepted apprentice; my two senior brothers have not yet met him."

Seeing that he was about to introduce her to Tang Xinyan, Elder Gong quickly joked:

“We talked about this when you were undergoing your tribulation, Yi Mo. Your little disciple is quite remarkable; he's very popular.”

Elder Wu stroked his beard and nodded in agreement, even jokingly saying:

"Well, neither of us has taken on any disciples yet. Why don't you give us one disciple, and how about you as our little disciple?"

Before Xiao Yimo could speak, Elder Gong hurriedly chimed in:

“That’s a good idea. This way, we two will have successors, and we won’t have to worry about the lack of a successor.”

Although Xiao Yimo knew the two were joking, he rarely showed a speechless expression:

"You two senior brothers are joking. How can you give away disciples? Besides, if you were really afraid that the inheritance would be buried, you wouldn't have refused to take on disciples in the first place."

After saying that, as if he had thought of something, he added:

"However, if the two senior brothers are willing to teach her, and if Yan Yan is willing, I would not mind letting her learn more."
