Today, Lin Fengjiao and Simu are no longer the teenagers who need the eldest senior brother to clean up everything for them. Decades have passed, and even the youngest Qianhe is now over seventy years old. He has practiced for more than sixty years, from a young boy to the current Jindan Zhenjun. Shi Jian has seen such a great change.

After hearing these words from their senior brother, Lin Fengjiao, Qianhe, and Simu suddenly became a little depressed. Yes, after so many years, they have grown old...

This is beyond doubt. They are all middle-aged with graying hair, but their eldest brother has the same appearance after decades, without any signs of aging.

Thinking of this, the three of them couldn't help but sigh.

"Master, the three uncles are not like what you said. The three uncles are now walking like dragons and tigers. Anyway, Yingqi thinks that the three uncles will definitely make a great name for themselves in the future!"

At this moment, Li Yingqi, who was in the atmosphere group, also stood up and made a naughty remark.

When they heard the girl speak of the "Master", Lin Fengjiao and the other two immediately remembered that their eldest senior brother had now accepted a very capable disciple. He had only been practicing for more than ten years, but he had already reached the level of a Golden Core True Lord. His talent was much stronger than theirs, and he seemed to be no weaker than their eldest senior brother!

"Big Brother, this must be your disciple, nephew Li Yingqi, right?

Tsk tsk tsk, let alone, the disciples that the senior brother accepted are also good and speak well, which makes us, the uncles, feel ashamed. "

"Brother Lin is right. I heard that this disciple of our eldest brother has already broken through the realm of Jindan Zhenjun. Now he has followed our eldest brother down the mountain to train for a while. He has a promising future. A promising future!"

Simu also praised her in time. These words of praise made Li Yingqi blush. She really didn't expect that she had taken the initiative to comfort the uncles, so how come they suddenly praised her?
Shi Jian saw all of this, his eyes full of satisfaction and joy.

"Okay, Yingqi, your uncles are only limited by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which is why their cultivation is slow. Now that they have arrived in this world, they still have a long way to go in the future...

Now, you two brothers should pay your respects to your uncles."

"Master is right. Disciple Li Yingqi pays respects to the three uncles!"

"Disciple Li Tutian pays homage to the three uncles!"

Although Li Tutian was still completely clueless about Maoshan, since he and his sister had the same master, there should be no problem in calling him uncle-master. In short, he could just follow his sister's lead in everything and there was no need to think too much about it.

Hearing Li Tutian calling them "Uncle Master", Lin Fengjiao and the others' expressions became excited.

After all, as far as they knew, their eldest brother only had one disciple, and this tall guy who appeared now was obviously a disciple only recently. After all, apart from his muscular body, he had no cultivation at all...

"Okay, okay, my two junior brothers, please stop being polite. Senior Brother has really accepted two good disciples. I am so jealous!"

"Hahaha, the eldest brother is the eldest brother. Not only is he gifted, but even his disciples are exceptionally different. The future of Maoshan will be very lively."

Seeing his fellow apprentices so enthusiastic and happy, Shi Jian rarely showed a warm smile. At this moment, he had no purpose and was simply enjoying the friendship between his fellow apprentices.

At this moment, the void trembled, and an old and majestic face appeared.

Seeing this illusory face, Shi Jian instantly became solemn and serious.

"Disciple Shi Jian, I pay my respects to Patriarch Lin!"

Hearing what their senior brother said, Qianhe, Lin Fengjiao, and even the four of them looked at each other in surprise. The person who came was actually Lin Zu, which was a level they could not reach.

"We are here to pay our respects to Lin Zu!"

After everyone paid their respects, only Li Tutian didn't know what was going on. He stared blankly at the figure that blocked out the sky in the void, swallowing his saliva continuously, looking a little nervous and embarrassed.

Lin Zu's gaze happened to be focused on Li Tutian behind Shi Jian at this time. This young man gave him a very strange feeling. He was obviously born with a stronger physique, but Li Tutian, who had no cultivation at all, made Lin Zu feel as excited as if he had met a precious jade.

"Okay, Shi Jian, why don't you go to the Patriarch's Hall to see the old Taoist priest when you return to Maoshan? Zhixian and the others miss you so much...

By the way, where did you find this little guy behind you?

It seems that the power of the gods is a good seedling."

"Ahem, Lin Zu, this kid has been accepted into my sect. He is not an outsider. He and Yingqi are siblings. However, they were separated due to some accidents. Now that I see him, I think he is a promising talent, so I brought him back.

If Lin Zu is interested, it is not impossible for him to arrange it..."

As Shi Jian spoke, he watched the changes in Lin Zu's expression. If Lin Zu could make a good arrangement for Li Tutian, Shi Jian would not insist.

After all, it was obvious that Li Tutian's path of cultivation was different from that of most people. After all, Lin Zu was a top-notch cultivator at the peak of the Yuanshen realm, so Shi Jian could trust him anyway.

"Hey, what are you talking about? I just thought this kid looked good, so I mentioned him. You accept him as your disciple, and both the brother and sister become your disciples at the same time. That's great.

I won't interfere!"

Shi Jian looked a little embarrassed, he was really overthinking it, but soon Shi Jian nodded with a smile.

"So that's how it is, Lin Zu. Shi Jian understands. Shi Jian just returned to Maoshan today. Speaking of which, I haven't seen my fellow apprentices for decades. Tomorrow, Shi Jian will go to the Patriarch's Hall to pay a visit to the elders."

Lin Zu was not an unreasonable person. At a time like this, it was indeed impossible for Shi Jian to return to the Patriarch's Hall as soon as he arrived. If he did so, Lin Zu would look down on Shi Jian.

The reason why Lin Zu chose to show up today was just because he wanted to take a good look at how Shi Jian changed after he broke through to the God Transformation stage.

Now that he had seen it all and spoken it all, Lin Zu simply waved his hand and disappeared into the void.

Seeing Lin Zu leave, Shi Jian turned his gaze to Lin Fengjiao and the others.

"My three junior brothers, this is not the place to talk. Come on, let's go into the hall. Today we are meeting again, so please have a good chat."

"Hahaha, Senior Brother has spoken, how dare we disobey?

Go, go, go! "

"Big Brother, please!"

............................................................

Outside the central hall of Thunder Saint Island, some disciples who had just arrived in this world for half a year had regained their inner peace and were practicing madly as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

"Uncle Lin is back!"

"Hey, there are also Uncle Qianhe and Uncle Simu."

"I heard that Uncle Qianhe has only been in this world for half a year, but he has already passed the thirty-nine heavenly tribulations just like Uncle Lin. Now there is a high probability that he has achieved the Golden Core True Lord. It's really enviable..." A group of young Maoshan disciples talked at once. They revered Lin Fengjiao and Simu and the others like gods. After all, the past few decades were enough to change a lot. As for the name Shi Jian, it was more of a symbolic meaning, a legend, and a myth.

How could they have imagined that this legendary person would come today?

"Greetings to Uncle Lin, Uncle Qianhe, and Uncle Simu!"

Arriving outside the main hall, Lin Fengjiao heard the disciples asking for respect one after another. Just when she was about to ask them to pay their respects to Shi Jian, Shi Jian rejected her directly with a look.

"Don't think too much, just keep going..."

Nodding, Simu came to the door of the hall first and made a gesture of invitation.

"Big Brother, please come in. We have been looking forward to this day for so long!"

After hearing the words "Elder Brother", the Maoshan disciples who were originally looking at this place were suddenly stunned. What did they hear?
Big Brother, if these three words were said by ordinary people, perhaps we wouldn’t need to take them too seriously, but if these words were said by Simu, then it would be truly extraordinary!
As everyone knows, Simu and others have only one senior brother, and that is the legendary Maoshan Thunder King, who condensed the golden elixir against the will of heaven and killed many big monsters. He was the former Maoshan headmaster Shi Jian.

It is said that hearing about someone is not as good as meeting him/her in person. They were a little confused at the beginning. After all, their uncles and aunts usually did not have such eager eyes even when facing their Grand Master Wuchenzi. But now, they were extremely enthusiastic. They should have thought of it earlier.

"Is that person back?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, incredible. I heard that this Master Shi Jian is a rare genius, and his legendary experience is incredible even in this world.

I heard that this master left Maoshan and traveled around the world before we came to this world. He returned today, but we were not able to immediately...

Alas, missed opportunity.”

Countless disciples looked depressed. After all, if they had performed outstandingly just now and were valued by the Lightning King, they would be promoted to a high position with unlimited future. How could they refuse such a temptation?

But what is lost is lost, and it is irreversible. Of course, Shi Jian will not easily value a person...

In front of the palace gate, Shi Jian smiled and patted Simu's shoulder. He simply did not refuse and stepped into the hall.

Wu Chenzi, who was sitting in the first seat and had his eyes closed to rest, suddenly opened his eyes that had been closed for a long time!
"Disciple!"

"Disciple Shi Jian, kowtow to Master!"

"Li Yingqi, Li Tutian, kowtow to our Grandmaster!"

No matter what others thought, the sudden behavior of Shi Jian and his two disciples made everyone in the hall, who had not yet recovered from their shock, look at them sideways.

"Big Brother!"

Zhe Gu recognized her own senior brother at a glance. Although they had not seen each other for twenty years, her own senior brother's appearance had not changed at all. Instead, his unfathomable look became even more profound.

"Hahaha, it turns out that Junior-Martial Brother Shi Jian is back. Oh no, it's Elder Shi."

The Great Elder was also happy and relaxed for a rare time. Even though Shi Jian was no longer the head of Maoshan, he was still an elder in the Patriarch's Hall and had a very important status. Shi Jian could ignore him or not care about him, but the Great Elder and the others were used to it and respected Shi Jian, their nephew.

"Ahem, Great Elder, you are too polite. Shi Jian is just a cultivator now. The Great Elder has been cleaning up the mess left behind by Shi Jian over the years. Shi Jian should thank the Great Elder."

Wu Chenzi on the side also nodded in agreement. Indeed, if there had been no great elder in these years, Maoshan would not have been able to return to stability so quickly after the departure of their master and disciples.

“Hahaha, Second Junior Brother, Shi Jian is right. We, master and disciple, just patted our buttocks and left. You have really suffered a lot over the years…”

Soon, the news of Shi Jian's return spread throughout the entire Leisheng Island, and everyone hoped to meet Shi Jian.

But compared to all these, Shi Jian was more concerned about meeting old friends.

Old friends were like fallen leaves in the wind, gradually withering away. Only after Shi Jian met most of his old friends from Maoshan one by one did he realize the importance of cultivation to them.

If Shi Jian had not embarked on the path of cultivation, he would be in his seventies or eighties now, and would probably have been gray-haired or even buried deep in the ground.

To go against the will of heaven is to fight for one's life. The more he understood this, the more urgent Shi Jian's desire to practice became.

......................................................

The night was as cool as water. As the night deepened, on the top of a mountain on Leisheng Island, a flame was burning silently in the void. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Shi Jian's famous Three Flavors True Fire!

"Big Brother, during the years you were away, we really couldn't handle it alone..."

Lin Fengjiao would not complain easily, but his experience as a headmaster over the years really made him feel bitter.

All matters in the sect must be decided by him as the headmaster, and after Shi Jian and others left, the situation in China changed drastically, and atheists began to attack sects like Maoshan.

Fortunately, Maoshan’s contribution was real, so the superiors did not take any action against Maoshan.

Even so, Lin Fengjiao and the others were exhausted. Fortunately, because of the Seventh Ancestor, they were able to come to this world, which was a relief.

"Big Brother, when you were here, Maoshan was the leader of all Taoist sects in the world. All Taoist sects in the world obeyed Maoshan's orders. But a few years after Big Brother left, Taoism was suppressed, and even Buddhism was forced to close its mountains and temples again.

Although the number of demonic activities has decreased significantly,...

We have lost our freedom!"

Shi Jian nodded. He was very clear about the future situation of China. After hearing this, he could only sigh.

"You have suffered a lot over the years..."

"No problem!
Senior Brother, although our lives are not easy, we have your sister taking care of us. Maoshan does not suffer any losses except that it cannot easily send disciples down the mountain.

By the way, your sister is already a chess player."

Shi Jian was a little surprised to hear this. He knew that what his sister was doing was right, so he did not stop her. However, he never expected that one day his sister would be able to govern a region.

"Every bite and every drink is caused by cause and effect. I am a lucky sister."

Simu heard this and continued, "Hey, Senior Brother, what you said is not accurate. In addition to your sister, your brother has also made great achievements. He is a general who founded the country. Without his mediation, Maoshan would not be able to truly maintain stability."
