"what else can you tell me about him, Meng Wu Ya." Chu Ling Xiao as he looked at the other person in the room, who was non other than Meng Wu Ya.
"Hahaha. What Cang boy told you just now is only the tip of the ice burg.", Meng Wu Ya laughed as he spoke, gaining the attention of the two occupants beside him.
"Cang boy, you mentioned that the brat had reached Peak 3rd Order Transcendant, right?", Cang Yan nodded hearing the question. Meng Wu Ya cursed under his breath, 'F**k! It's only been two years but that brat went from Early 2nd Order Transcendant to Peak 3rd Order Transcendant.'
Meng Wu Ya continued, "... Alright. Next, you guessed that the brat tempered his body, which is correct and both of the brat's wives are the same. From what I know, they follow certain step and have divided these steps into ranks, each rank equivalent to a cultivation stage."
".... and all of them can fight with just there bodies to the equivalent of their ranks Cultivation Stage, boosting their battle power beyond normal standards.", Meng Wu Ya spoke as he looked at the two. He then shook his head and said, "unfortunately, the advantage becomes a bit limited because of different advantages a Cultivation realm."
Chu Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes at that, having a suspicion. Cang Yan on the other hand asked, "Senior Meng, what do you mean by limits?"
Meng Wu Ya calmly took a sip of his tea and asked, "tell me Cang boy. What is the difference between Separation and Reunion Realm, True Element Realm, Immortal Ascension Realm, Transcendent Realm and Saint Realm?"
Cang Yan looked a bit taken aback at the question before he answered, "... From Separation and Reunion Realm to True Element Realm, the cultivator need to purify their Yuan Qi into True Qi to breakthrough, enhancing their strength by many times."
"From True Element Realm to the Immortal Ascension Realm, the cultivator open their knowledge sea and gains access to their soul and Divine Sense, allowing the use of soul attacks."
"From Immortal Ascension Realm to the Transcendent Realm, the cultivators need to understand the essence of Heavenly Laws to a certain extent and integrate that essence into being, which increases their overall strength by many times."
"As for the Saint Realm, a cultivator needs to purify their True Qi into Saint Qi and increase their knowledge of Heavenly Laws, and this the essence."
The more Cang Yan, the more his face gained an understanding look. Meng Wu Ya nodded and answered, "Correct. All these changes have different effects on the cultivator, which quite limits the power of flesh in our known stages.... But in some Cultivation Stages, the increase is still enough for the one practicing it to jump nearly a great realm altogether."
The three fell into a brief silence before Meng Wu Ya continued, "As for his divine sense, the brat always had a strong soul strength than normal and I think he has a way to cultivate the soul as well, but I don't know for sure."
He again shook his head a bit, "If we talk about his overall strength, the brat might have been capable of fighting me, with this second seal active, when he was at the 2nd Order Transcendant.... But now that he has broken through and reached the peak of the 3rd Order, having his Qi fully transformed ... he might be able to fight a 3rd Order Saint to a stand still."
Both Chu Ling Xiao and Cang Yan's eyes widened with pure shock and their mouths overed wide. "Me.. ng ... You.. *cough* *hah* your not joking right?", Chu Ling Xiao asked after a moment, while Cang Yan still processed the information.
Meng Wu Ya snorted, "If you don't want to believe me, then don't. I am just telling you what I know." Chu Ling Xiao chuckled wearily, raising his hand up in a surrendering motion.
Meng Wu Ya looked at his gesture and spoke with a sadistic grin, "Also...", both looked at Meng Wu Ya with an expression that screamed 'THERE'S MORE!!?'.
Meng Wu Ya ignored their expressions and continued, "... That brat is also a Saint Grade Artifact Refiner, Saint Grade Alchemist and a Saint Grade Array Master."
"....", that did it. Chu Ling Xiao and Cang Yan looked as if the two were about to faint from shock, causing Meng Wu Ya to bellow out with laughter.
It took them a few minutes to recover before they took a very long sigh, suddenly feeling too old or useless. Shaking his head, Chu Ling Xiao looked at Meng Wu Ya and said, "you didn't tell anything about his character."
"His character you say, hmmmm. If I have to explain it, he is someone who is carefree and indulgent when it comes to his close ones. But he is ruthless to his enemies and straight demonic when those enemies try to harm his close ones.", Meng Wu Ya answered.
Chu Ling Xiao nodded slightly, not too surprised as he had deducted as much. He then looked at Cang Yan and said, "bring him here."
Cang Yan bowed before leaving the mountain.
....
After Cang Yan went away, Fei Yu took Yang Feng around the sect, showing his around. They flew through a few mountain peaks, many holding cave abodes of the desciples but few exclusive to other things, like one was assigned for each profession and a few had medical gardens on them.
After going through 30 such peaks, Fei Yu brought him to her own mountain peak and told him to clean up till Cang Yan came back. Yang Feng shook his head before he went towards a lake on the peak to take a dip.
"*Feu* man it been some time since I took a complete bath.", Yang Feng exclaimed after taking a fulfilling bath, remembering that he took his last one at the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion. As a high ranking cultivator, he doesn't need to take a bath as his body doesn't doesn't exclude any stench now and his Qi does the work of keeping him clean.
Yang Feng then took out a set of black cultivation robe and put them on. "Cang Yan should be coming back now right?", Yang Feng muttered to himself after getting fully clothed.
Just as he finished, he saw Fei Yu coming towards him from her cave abode. Fei Yu looked at him and spoke with a smile, "done taking a bath, Brother Yang."
Yang Feng nodded and just as he was about to ask her something, he felt Cang Yan flying towards them. The two looked towards the main peak and saw Cang Yan land before them.
Fei Yu looked at him and asked, "finished already?". Cang Yan nodded and told Yang Feng, "Master would like to meet you, Brother Feng."
Yang Feng loomed at Fei Yu and thanked her for showing him around and letting him take a bath here. He and Cang Yan then flew towards the main peak and landed there in a few minutes.
Along the way, Yang Feng had noticed that Cang Yan occasionally looked at him with a strange and slightly fearful expression. But Yang Feng let it rest, not in the mood of inquire about it.
The two then landed outside the sect master residence and waited before a few seconds before Cang Yan brought him inside. As Cang Yan opened the Shoji door and brought Yang Feng inside.
Just as Yang Feng entered, his eyes landed on Chu Ling Xiao who was sitting on a cultivation mat. Yang Feng held his gaze for a second before turning towards the other individual in the room.
As he did, "You!! Old Coot, since when are you here!?", Yang Feng's eyes bulged as he looked at Meng Wu Ya who bursted out in a fit of laughter at Yang Feng's reaction.
"Hahahaha!!! You ... You brat .. should have seen your face. Damn that was hilarious..", Meng Wu Ya spoke out loud before taking a deep breath and answering Yang Feng, "what are you so shocked about? Wasn't it you who suggested that I come here and settle down for some time? This old man just thought about it and agreed."
Yang Feng's eyes twitched as he spoke in a sarcastic voice, "shocked? Me? Oh! I think that perhaps because AN OLD MAN BLATANTLY REFUSED MY SUGGESTION AND TOLD ME TO MIND MY BUSINESS!!!"
Meng Wu Ya grunted and made a motion of covering his ears and shout, "Damn Brat!! Can't you speak normally!?". The two continued to bicker with each other, while Cang Yan and Chu Ling Xiao both watched the show with amused and curious looks.
After a few minutes, Yang Feng calmed down before he shook his head and looked towards Chu Ling Xiao and walked towards him, the other three watched him as he walked and stood a few steps away from Chu Ling Xiao.
Yang Feng held Chu Ling Xiao's gaze for a few seconds before he cupped his fist and bowed, "Desciple greets the Martial Ancestor!"
Chu Ling Xiao smiled at that before he spoke, "arise, Yang Feng... I have heard a lot about you from a certain old coot, and I fully believe his words that I have seen you."
Yang Feng's eyes instantly shifted to Meng Wu Ya, his eyes conveying the message without the use of divine sense, 'What The F*ck Did You Say!?'
Yang Feng's focus returned to Chu Ling Xiao as he told Yang Feng to sit down. Yang Feng then talked to Chu Ling Xiao for some time, telling him about various stuff from his journey and High Heaven Pavilion, while also returning the Devil Sealing Chain to Chu Ling Xiao. Chu Ling Xiao also made him an official desciple of Soaring Heaven Sect.
After the talk finished, Yang Feng turned to Meng Wu Ya and asked, "Old Man. If your here, then Chang'er should be here as well. Where is she?"
Meng Wu Ya snorted and spoke somethings under his breath before answering, "Little Chang is currently refining some pills and should be out soon. She'll come find you when she's done.", Meng Wu Ya finished with a shooing gesture, clearly telling Yang Feng to go away now.
Yang Feng's hand twitched for a second before he sighed and left with Cang Yan.
After leaving the main peak, Cang Yan and Yang Feng were flying back, Cang Yan asked him, "Since Brother Feng has joined the sect, you should choose a cultivation cave for yourself. Do you have any preferences?"
Yang Feng didn't think much and answered while shaking his head, "Not much. Just make it a secluded place.". Cang Yan thought about all the peak before chuckling wearily, "well, look like Brother Feng will have to endure Fei Yu's attitude till you stay in the sect as only her peak is a secluded one, as only she lives there."
With that out of the way, Yang Feng and Cang Yan flew back to Fei Yu's peak. After landing, the two were met by Fei Yu. Cang Yan then told her about Yang Feng's situation and that he would be living here from now. Fei Yu replied, "Oh, I don't have any problem."
She then told Yang Feng to select a cave deeper into the mountai peak. Yang Feng nodded and went ahead, looking for a suitable cultivation cave abode.
Outside, Fei Yu and Cang Yan were talking before Cang Yan remembered something, "Oh, I forgot to tell Brother Feng that 'She' should also be in your peak."
Fei Yu's eyes widened and as she was about to rush in, Cang Yan stopped her saying that it would be alright.

Warning ⚠️ ⚠️ read the whole note:
{A-Note: I recently started reading Martial Peak from where I had left off, which was also the reason for the delay, and have to say, the strength difference gets way too ridiculous during 'Ink' chapters.
Also I discovered that things won't be sitting well with how I had 'Changed' the system and this is to give you all a heads up that this fic will stop at Tong Xuan Realm and a new one will be released right after.
The reason being, 1) the things I learned from reading those later chapters. 2) I am not satisfied with my writing at the start, as this was my first time writing. 3) let's be serious, I didn't change a damn thing in the Cultivation System and just made him cultivate his body.
So in the new fic, 1) there will be a 'Real' new cultivation system. 2) storyline will not change much, from this fic's structure. 3) the fic will be more 'detailed' and will be continue at my own pace.
I have already made the New Cultivation System and written about 10 chapters. So, should I start working on that fic or complete this one till the Tong Xuan Realm? The choice is yours.}
