The years when I would transform

The moonlight is as clear as water, gently falling between the peaks of Mount Huashan. Every crack in the rock and every leaf seem to be given life by this soft light, quietly telling a thousand-year-old story.

Wang Xiao walked towards Zheng Yuanshan in the moonlight. The memories surging in his heart were like a mountain stream, gurgling from time to time.

"Brother Zheng, I didn't thank you back then, so I came here today to thank you." Wang Xiao's voice echoed in the quiet valley. He looked at Zheng Yuanshan's face, which was still resolute but with a few more traces of time, and felt a little sad.

In just a few years, everyone had different experiences. Some old friends became Tianjiao, while others passed away...

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yuanshan curled up the corners of his mouth into a faint smile, a smile that concealed the wars of the past and also his infinite longing for the future.

"Descendants of Yan and Huang, there is no need to thank you. You came here today not just to express your gratitude." Zheng Yuanshan put away the sword in his hand and looked at Wang Xiao with a smile. He really had the demeanor of an ancient hero.

"Brother Zheng is absolutely right. I do have multiple purposes for this trip." Wang Xiao looked into the distance with a deep gaze. Although it was dark, he could still see the clouds and mist in the distance, as if they contained countless unfulfilled dreams of evolution.

"I came here today, first, to thank you for saving my life, and second,..." Having said this, he paused slightly, as if he had something to hide.

Seeing this, Zheng Yuanshan raised his eyebrows slightly, and a trace of concern flashed in his eyes: "What's the matter? Why can't you speak frankly?"

Wang Xiao sighed and said slowly: "Second, I want to become Huashan's disciple."

"Become a disciple of Huashan?" Zheng Yuanshan was stunned. As a true disciple of Huashan Sect, he naturally knew Wang Xiao's identity.

Wang Xiao is the top genius of Yanhuang, the "Little Wang" called by the ancestor Taikang, and the fastest evolver in the Evolution Competition. With such strength, he wants to become a disciple of Huashan Sect?

Brother, what are you doing?

Who dares to ask you to be my disciple?

With his strength at the initial stage of the Divine Bridge Realm, he couldn't see through Wang Xiao's realm, which proved that Wang Xiao's strength was definitely far beyond his own.

Who is qualified to be Wang Xiao’s master?

Zheng Yuanshan's handsome cheeks twitched, and he said helplessly: "Brother Wang, are you kidding?"

"No kidding, listen to me..." Wang Xiao cleared his throat and whispered to Zheng Yuanshan, "Master Jingyuan is also my master. I just came back from him. You know, I have been wandering in the universe for many years. How can I gain a foothold in this vast universe if I don't learn some kung fu? So, I came to your sect today to learn martial arts. I hope Brother Zheng can introduce me to you."

Zheng Yuanshan finally understood what was going on. Wang Xiao was not here to become his disciple. He was clearly here to learn the Huashan Evolution Method, and it was called becoming a disciple and learning skills.

But he couldn't understand it. Before Wang Xiao left the earth, he had studied martial arts in various major sects. Why is he here again today?

Wang Xiao seemed to see Zheng Yuanshan's confusion and explained: "You also know that I was only at the Great Power Realm back then. I didn't learn the evolution methods of the major sects thoroughly, and I didn't learn many unique evolution methods, so... hehe..."

Zheng Yuanshan smiled playfully when he heard this. He knew Wang Xiao's intention, but he didn't point it out. He smiled and said, "Brother Wang, I am a little surprised by what you said. However, since you are interested, Huashan Sect welcomes geniuses like you to join. However, becoming a disciple is a very important matter, and my master needs to give his approval."

Wang Xiao's eyes flashed with joy when he heard this. He knew that Zheng Yuanshan's words left room for him, so he quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Brother Zheng! If this can be accomplished, I will definitely keep it in mind."

The two stood side by side, looking at the bright moon, each thinking in their hearts.

Wang Xiao was thinking about how to further improve his way of evolution in the Huashan Sect, while Zheng Yuanshan was thinking about how to use Wang Xiao for publicity.

That's right, it's propaganda.

Although the Huashan Sect is an evolving sect, it still needs an economic source to maintain its operation. The income from the tourism industry alone is far from enough to meet the expenses of Huashan disciples on their evolutionary road. Therefore, recruiting disciples, collecting tuition fees, and selling Huashan specialties are all necessary economic means to ensure the stable and sustainable development of the sect.

This is the routine operation of the sect. If you don’t understand, think about a certain temple group in Songshan…

As the night deepened, the mountain breeze blew on my face, bringing a bit of coolness. Huashan became even more mysterious under the moonlight. Wang Xiao followed Zheng Yuanshan to Huashan Sect...

He stayed in Huashan for more than a month. One day more than a month later, Wang Xiao appeared in front of the gate of Kongtong Sect like a ghost.

"Wang Xiao came to visit the head of Kongtong Sect and wanted to become his disciple..."

Three months later, Wang Xiao appeared again in front of the Duan family’s mountaintop villa in Dali.

"Master Duan, I, Wang Xiao, am here to visit you..."

Five months later, the sound of someone wanting to "learn martial arts from a master" was heard in front of the Wudang Sect's mountain gate.

Seven months later, the head of Emei Sect "sent" Wang Xiao out of the mountain gate with a sullen face. Wang Xiao reluctantly said to the head of Emei Sect: "Thank you for your teaching, Master. I will carry forward the Emei Evolution Method and create greater glory."

The nun replied with a dark face: "Don't come here anymore. In the two months you were here, all the Emei disciples were clamoring to return to secular life."

Wang Xiao lowered his head in shame and answered innocently, "It's not my fault that Senior Sister wants to return to secular life. It's all because I'm too handsome and cool."

"roll!"

"okay……"

Wang Xiao left the Emei Sect in disgrace, and then rushed to the Vatican without stopping, to find the Pope to "learn from him"...

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another winter has gone and spring has come. Wang Xiao's footprints are all over every corner of the earth, from the snow-capped mountains in the north to the rain forests in the south, from Asia to Europe. He visited various major sects and religions one by one, each time in the name of "learning from a master", but in fact he was "forcing" to learn their core evolutionary secrets.

If anyone else had done what Wang Xiao did, they would surely be beaten up by the people from the major sects so badly that even their own mother wouldn't be able to recognize them. This is tantamount to stealing someone else's skills, which is simply courting death and wishing one's life were too long.

But Wang Xiao is different. Not only will he not be beaten, but he will also be served with good food and drink, and can learn whatever he wants. There is no other way. From the Chairman of China to the Lord of the Realm, they have all secretly informed the evolutionary forces on all sides, and no one dares not to cooperate.

On this day, Wang Xiao returned to the front world, cooked a few side dishes himself in the front world mansion, and drank with Wang Jianguo in the garden of the mansion.

Wang Jianguo looked at his adorable grandson with a smile, while constantly putting food into his mouth. "My grandson is not only handsome, but also good at kung fu and cooking. He is worthy of being my grandson, Wang Jianguo. He has the style of your grandfather back then."

Wang Xiao chuckled, "Come on, I know that when I was a kid you played chess every day, and you were a famous chess player in the neighborhood."

Decades ago, Wang Jianguo took care of Wang Xiao at home every day. When Wang Xiao went to school, he played chess. When Wang Xiao slept, he played chess. Anyway, he was either playing chess or drinking, and he had nothing to do all day.

Wang Xiao couldn’t understand how his grandfather became the master of the realm. Could it be that his great-grandfather was the master of the realm and passed it on to his grandfather?
