Qingyun Peak, ever since Lu Changsheng’s meteoric rise, most of Mount Shu’s genius disciples hail from Qingyun Peak.

After the first-generation disciples of Qingyun Peak ascended, the second-generation disciples now hold sway over Qingyun Peak.
The thirty-second Sect Leader of Mount Shu also came from Qingyun Peak, and was none other than Li Jianfei, the chief disciple of the twenty-ninth Sect Leader, Lin Qingzhi.
Li Jianfei, possessing the Spirit Sword Physique and having understood the incomplete Heavenly Earth Mystical sword techniques left by Lu Changsheng, became a master of the Sword Dao.
Master Lin Qingzhi, Master’s Wife Chen Yao, as well as several formidable uncles underwent Tribulation and ascended, and now it’s the era of the second-generation disciples, who have successively reached the Unity Realm.
Li Jianfei, Luo Xintang, and other second-generation disciples of Qingyun Peak began recruiting third-generation disciples, who in turn trained fourth-generation disciples, making Qingyun Peak far livelier than before.
“Grand Uncle, the Daoist Earth Hound of our Qingyun Peak is about to ascend, we’re requesting Grand Uncle to help protect the ritual.”
Li Jianfei sent a message to Zhao Wuyan, the Supreme Elder of Zhiyue Peak, asking him to leave retreat.
Zhao Wuyan was a senior brother of his Grand Master and, after nearly ten thousand years of cultivation along with various cultivation techniques left by Lu Changsheng—including a private gift of a bag of Elixir Pills before his ascension—Zhao Wuyan had now become a master of the Unity Realm.
“I didn’t expect that even the big yellow dog of Qingyun Peak would ascend before me, I still lack a bit.”
On Zhiyue Peak, Zhao Wuyan was cultivating the Taiqing Wuji Technique when he suddenly received a message from his junior, Li Jianfei. Hearing about the Mountain-guarding Divine Beast, the Daoist Earth Hound of Qingyun Peak due to undergo Tribulation, he couldn’t help but smile wryly.
Zhao Wuyan himself was once considered a prodigy of Mount Shu, yet when it came to cultivation and ascension, he wasn’t progressing as rapidly as the big yellow dog of Qingyun Peak.
Although the Daoist Earth Hound was part of the Demon Race, it was the only external disciple taken by Lu Changsheng. With its standing, it was on par with Zhao Wuyan, being a Supreme Elder of Mount Shu. Even the second-generation disciples of Qingyun Peak had to respectfully address it as “Uncle Master.”
Now that the Daoist Earth Hound had reached the pinnacle of the Unity Realm and was about to take that final step, Li Jianfei, to be cautious, requested Zhao Wuyan to come and act as a protector.
“Thanks to the cultivation techniques and Immortal Pills left by Brother Lu, Master, Big Senior Brother, Murong Senior Sister, and others have successively ascended to the Immortal Realm over the past years. Mount Shu has seen several geniuses ascend in these ten thousand years, even I have a chance to ascend.”
Zhao Wuyan was deeply moved.
Because of the unparalleled genius Lu Changsheng, who left behind numerous cultivation techniques, Immortal Pills, and Immortal Artifacts, the number of talented individuals from Mount Shu ascending to the Immortal Realm has been on the rise.
“Awoo~~~ I, Daoist Earth Hound, have finally reached the moment of my Tribulation and ascension~~~”
From the desolate land specifically used by Mount Shu for Tribulations, an excited bark echoed.
“I, Daoist Earth Hound, am really fortunate to have met my master; if not for him, I would have remained in the Dao Palace Realm my whole life.”
The Daoist Earth Hound was extremely agitated and reminisced fondly about its master, Lu Changsheng.
When Lu Changsheng took the Daoist Earth Hound as an external disciple, he transformed its physical constitution and casually imparted some teachings, leaving behind some Demon Race Skills and Immortal Pills. After many years of cultivation, the Daoist Earth Hound was on the verge of ascending to the Immortal Realm.
“Uncle Master, your juniors have arrived to protect the ritual.”
Li Jianfei, Luo Xintang, and other second-generation disciples of Qingyun Peak arrived to protect the Daoist Earth Hound during its Tribulation.
Zhao Wuyan and other elders from the previous generation also arrived one after another.
The ascension of someone from Mount Shu was a major event.
“Hahaha, everyone, see you in the Immortal Realm.”
The Daoist Earth Hound bowed to everyone and then commenced its Tribulation.
The Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation descended, and the Daoist Earth Hound conjured its Immortal Sword to meet the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation.
“I wonder how Master and Grand Master are faring in the Immortal Realm?”
Li Jianfei couldn’t help but miss his master Lin Qingzhi. As for his Grand Master Lu Changsheng, he had ascended to the Immortal Realm after imparting only a brief amount of teachings.
However, his Grand Master was a legendary figure of Mount Shu, and nearly ten thousand years had passed, leaving him to wonder about the current realm his Grand Master had reached.
His junior sister Luo Xintang said to Li Jianfei, “Senior Brother, when will you undergo your Tribulation and ascend? It’s about time for me to take the position of Sect Leader of Mount Shu.”
“Junior Sister, your cultivation level is not much different from mine. When it’s time for me to undergo the Tribulation and ascend, you’ll probably be about ready too, so let’s ascend together then.”
“Hmph, who wants to ascend with you.”
Luo Xintang looked disdainful.
Before Chen Yao, the thirty-first Sect Leader of Mount Shu ascended, Li Jianfei and Luo Xintang had once competed for the position of Sect Leader.
Li Jianfei was Lin Qing’s chief disciple, while Luo Xintang was the direct disciple of Ji Xuan, and also stood out among the second-generation disciples of Qingyun Peak.
Therefore, Chen Yao allowed Li Jianfei and Luo Xintang to compete, and ultimately Li Jianfei won, becoming the new Sect Leader of Mount Shu.
Li Jianfei didn’t receive the Power-infusing Initiation from Lu Changsheng, so his cultivation speed was obviously slower than the first generation of disciples. Having served as the Mount Shu Sect Leader for several thousand years, Luo Xintang always felt somewhat disgruntled.
When she lost to Li Jianfei back then, it wasn’t because she couldn’t beat him.
She was endowed with a special constitution, the “Thousand Poison Body,” and had already concocted an extremely terrifying poison. Had she used it during their competition, she could have defeated Li Jianfei, but at the time she hadn’t developed an antidote and didn’t want to kill her senior brother over the position of Sect Leader. That’s why she deliberately lost the match.
Of course, with her pride, she would never admit this to Li Jianfei, and the two of them often bickered.
Li Jianfei, Luo Xintang, Zhao Wuyan, and others witnessed Daoist Earth Hound overcome the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation.
The gates to the Immortal Realm swung wide open, and Daoist Earth Hound reverted to his original form.
Thus, everyone saw a big yellow dog, shaking its head and wagging its tail, enthusiastically running into the Immortal Realm with its tongue lolling out.
“…”
Li Jianfei and Luo Xintang, the pair of mentor and disciple, exchanged a glance and couldn’t help but be speechless.
Their Uncle, Daoist Earth Hound, although an external disciple of Lu Changsheng and one of the strongest beings in the world, lacked any demeanor of a skilled master in the moment of ascension.
“I definitely can’t be like this when I ascend.”
Luo Xintang’s face was covered with black lines.
Because Daoist Earth Hound successfully surpassed the tribulation and became an Earth Immortal, he returned to his original form and got carried away.
In the Immortal Realm, before Daoist Earth Hound could enjoy his excitement for long, he found himself amidst icy realms and snowy landscapes.
“Where is this? The spiritual energy here is even denser than at Mount Shu, but what’s with this coldness? Even with my current level of cultivation, I can feel the cold penetrating my bones.”
Daoist Earth Hound quickly circulated his cultivation to resist the cold.
Even as a Great Demon at the Earth Immortal Realm, he felt cold in this part of the Immortal Realm.
“Dammit, how did I end up in this godforsaken place! Awoo~~~”
Daoist Earth Hound howled at the sky, and all within tens of thousands of miles were glaciers, devoid of any life.
The extreme Yin energy was eroding Daoist Earth Hound’s meridians.
Daoist Earth Hound had no choice but to rush on his way while searching for Lu Changsheng and others.
Daoist Earth Hound had returned to his original form, and one could see a big yellow dog running wildly across the ice, wagging its tail and shaking its head.
“Awoo~~~”
For a full ten years, Daoist Earth Hound wandered through icy lands and snow until he finally caught the scent of human cultivators.
Several streaks of light swept past above the ice, and because of the influence from Lu Changsheng and others, Daoist Earth Hound, who was in his original form as a big yellow dog, was very approachable towards human cultivators and thus took the initiative to greet them.
The several human cultivators flying past on their swords above the ice were all women, and their auras were incredibly strong.
Daoist Earth Hound was inwardly stunned.
He had never seen such powerful cultivators before.
Suddenly, Daoist Earth Hound saw one of the women, dressed in white as snow, and couldn’t believe his eyes. He quickly called out, “Master’s wife! It’s me! Woof! Woof!”
Although Daoist Earth Hound hadn’t followed Lu Changsheng for a long time, especially when compared to a timescale of ten thousand years, it could even be said to be very short. But that was the most memorable time for Daoist Earth Hound.
Even after nearly ten thousand years, Daoist Earth Hound would never mistake this person’s appearance.
Isn’t this his Master’s wife, Xia Ningxue?
Following the Master’s wife, he would definitely find the Master!
Not wanting to continue as a stray dog, Daoist Earth Hound chased after them determinedly.
“Hmm?”
The women all turned to look below and saw a big yellow dog of the Earth Immortal Realm sprinting and barking wildly at them from below.
“Junior sister?”
The other women simultaneously turned to look at the most beautiful among them; how could this unknown big yellow dog be calling their junior sister the Master’s wife?
