By the banks of the Yaochi, Pan Peach trees were everywhere.
In the eyes of mortals, these Pan Peach trees were comparable to immortal medicine, yet in the Yaochi, they were but common trees.
Of course, these ubiquitous Pan Peach trees were of the lowest grade, with tiny flowers and fruits, ripening once every three thousand years.
The Holy Maiden Liu Yiyi returned to the holy land of the Yaochi.
“Unparalleled City was seized by the Green Ox King, and it even wanted to kill you? It’s merely a Half-Step Great Luo Golden Immortal, yet it dares to bully you, truly sick of living,” said a dignified woman in a nine-colored dress upon hearing Liu Yiyi recount her experience in Unparalleled City, her willowy brows arching, her face showing displeasure.
What was the Green Ox King? How dare it bully her daughter?
Luckily, Liu Yiyi had escaped successfully. Otherwise, if the Holy Maiden of the Yaochi holy land had died at the hands of the Green Ox King, the entire Yaochi holy land would have come out in full force. Not to mention the Green Ox King, even if it were his uncle, the King of Chaos, he would still be beaten to his knees begging for mercy by the holy land of the Yaochi.
The King of Chaos was the Demon King of Accumulated Thunder Mountain, with extensive connections, but before a sacred place as ancient as the Yaochi, he was like a mayfly shaking a tree.
As an ancient holy land, the Yaochi maintained a low profile, with only some Immortal Sects attached to the Yaochi acting publicly on its behalf, but this didn’t mean the Yaochi would not intervene in the affairs of the world.
“Wind Granny,” the dignified woman spoke with a hint of anger in her tone.
“Present.”
An old crone leaning on a cane appeared from the shadows, seemingly indistinguishable from an ordinary mortal crone, yet her presence was like a terrifying black hole, constantly drawing in nature’s spiritual energy into her body.
“You will go with Yiyi to Unparalleled City and kill the Green Ox King, to avenge Yiyi,” the dignified woman commanded unequivocally.
“This servant obeys. Holy Maiden, let’s go,” the old crone responded.
“Wait, mother, Wind Granny, I want to wait until I break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm before going to Unparalleled City for revenge,” Liu Yiyi interjected.
“Mm.”
The dignified woman agreed to Liu Yiyi’s proposal.
The Green Ox King was nothing more than a beast; for the holy land of the Yaochi, killing it would be as simple as killing a chicken, less important than her daughter’s breakthrough to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
After Liu Yiyi and Wind Granny left, the dignified woman fell into deep thought.
A man in a purple Daoist robe descended, retracting his Flying Sword.
“Qing’er, what’s wrong?” he inquired.
“You excel in the Time Law and Deduction Path, predicting that Yiyi would encounter a great opportunity for Path Comprehension in Unparalleled City, which is why I allowed her to venture down the mountain to temper herself. But why, according to what Yiyi described, aside from being hunted by the Green Ox King, were there no other fortuitous events? Could it be that your calculation was incorrect?” the dignified woman wondered.
Her husband was an exalted being, nearly equal in cultivation to her, and was also proficient in the most challenging Time Law. Since he could accurately predict the future, he should not have made a mistake.
Liu Yiyi was only an Earth Immortal, and predicting the Qi Destiny of an Earth Immortal should not be difficult for her husband.
The man in the purple Daoist robe sank into contemplation then began calculating with his fingers, “Could it be that Yiyi intentionally concealed some events?”
“Impossible, Yiyi would not lie to me.”
“Yiyi has grown up. She has her own secrets. She wouldn’t lie, but that doesn’t mean she would reveal all her thoughts. Qing’er, there’s no need to micromanage matters concerning our daughter. She has her own destiny.”
“You speak so lightly. Our daughter is the Immortal Spirit Holy Body with the potential for Path Comprehension. If she were to fall midway, it would be a huge loss not only for our feelings but also for the holy land of the Yaochi.”
“In certain matters, destiny prevails. If you intervene forcibly, it may backfire.”
The man in the purple Daoist robe was adept in the Deduction Path, seeing through cause and effect; his expression was relaxed, unlike that of the dignified woman filled with anxiety.
Liu Yiyi returned to her cave dwelling, feeling somewhat uneasy.
She had not told her mother about the existence of Dugu Aotian and his disciple, nor had she mentioned that Dugu Aotian had seen her face.
Otherwise, with her mother’s decisive nature, she would most certainly send someone to kill Dugu Aotian.
Dugu Aotian, being an Earth Immortal, would not be able to escape the pursuit of the Yaochi holy land.
Not even a Daluo Golden Immortal might survive if targeted by the Yaochi holy land.
“He practices Demonic Cultivation Skills and has seen my face, so why don’t I wish to see him die? By simply telling my mother, she would have Wind Granny kill that demon, and then no outsiders would know of my existence. Yet he saved me, and he doesn’t seem to be a bad person… Ah, what am I thinking?” Liu Yiyi’s mind was in disarray as she hurriedly practiced the cultivation technique of the Yaochi holy land to stabilize her mind.
With her aptitude, she was just indulging in wild flights of fancy and would not be afflicted by inner demons or halt at the Earth Immortal Realm.
The Holy Land of Yaochi had high hopes for her and she was expected to prove her Dao.
Breaking through from the Earth Immortal Realm to the Heavenly Immortal Realm was a simple feat for her.
…
Five years later, in the Dongchi Kingdom, Lu Changsheng summoned eight Sky-Piercing Divine Fire Pillars, arranged according to the eight trigrams, forming an Eight Trigrams Divine Fire Formation.
The set of Sky-Piercing Divine Fire Pillars had already been refined by Lu Changsheng, who had imprinted his own mark on them.
Lu Changsheng could just barely activate the eight Divine Fire Pillars.
In the wilderness of Dongchi Kingdom, Lu Changsheng summoned the Sky-Piercing Divine Fire Pillars to protect his seventh disciple, Xiao Fan.
After Ning Qianqian had her breakthrough, Xiao Fan also broke through.
Taking advantage of the tyranny of his War Heaven Tyrant Body, Xiao Fan used the twelve layers of Heavenly Tribulation to temper his physique.
Amidst the flashing lightning and roaring thunder, the long-haired Xiao Fan, with hair like ink, smashed the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder with his fists, his War Heaven Tyrant Body devouring the power of the Divine Thunder to forge his flesh.
“Ancestor…”
Upon the awakening of his ancient bloodline, Xiao Fan seemed to see a magnificent scene where the Ancestor of the Xiao Family burst stars with his bare hands, which made Xiao Fan seem incredibly minuscule in front of him.
The legends of the Xiao Family mentioned that their Ancestor was one of the strongest beings in ancient times, capable of battling the heavens.
“This disciple is extraordinary.”
Lu Changsheng discovered that Xiao Fan’s War Heaven Tyrant Body’s bloodline was further awakening due to Xiao Fan being on the verge of stepping into the Heavenly Immortal Realm and was secretly astounded. Discover more stories at M-V-L
The Ancient Xiao Family’s history seemed even more terrifying than he had imagined.
All his disciples were indeed exceptional freaks.
After the twelve layers of Heavenly Tribulation ended, Xiao Fan, whose ancient bloodline had awakened further, had reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
[Ding, your seventh disciple Xiao Fan has advanced from the Earth Immortal Realm to the Heavenly Immortal Realm. You have received the following disciple rank advancement reward: Holy Artifact Fragments×10.]
Another ten pieces of Holy Artifact Fragments?
Lu Changsheng had just used up his Holy Artifact Fragments and had now received another ten pieces.
At this rate, by the time he returned to the Jing Long Immortal Temple, Lu Changsheng would be able to combine several Holy Artifacts.
Lu Changsheng took out a divine spear and bestowed it upon Xiao Fan.
[Ding, you have bestowed upon your disciple Xiao Fan a medium-grade Ultimate Treasure “Asura Blood Spear” and have received the following reward for teaching your disciple: a high-grade Ultimate Treasure “No-Thought Divine Spear”.]
Lu Changsheng performed Power-infusing Initiation for Xiao Fan. The Earth Scripture and the Nameless Ancient Cauldron continued to absorb nature’s spiritual energy, and the Nameless Ancient Cauldron was further repaired.
“You two also need to work hard. Once the two of you break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, we’ll return to Unparalleled City to avenge the injustices of the past.”
Of the four disciples following Lu Changsheng, only Lu Qinglian and Dugu Aotian had yet to break through, but given their aptitudes, it was only a matter of time before they reached the breakthrough soon.
Among the four disciples, Dugu Aotian initially had the lowest cultivation, but as he possessed the Demonic Ancestor Body and the speed of Demonic Cultivation Skills was very fast, coupled with Lu Changsheng’s Power-infusing Initiation, Dugu Aotian’s cultivation leaped forward tremendously.
Lu Changsheng specifically provided Body Tempering Elixir for his disciples, and both the Martial King Divine Physique and the Demonic Ancestor Body were frantically devouring the efficacy of the medicine.
Thirty years later, Lu Qinglian broke through, and the system rewarded him with ten pieces of Holy Artifact Fragments.
Eighty years later, Dugu Aotian broke through, and the system once again rewarded him with ten pieces of Holy Artifact Fragments.
In the same year that Dugu Aotian advanced to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi also advanced to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
“Wind Granny, I can now accompany you to Unparalleled City.”
Liu Yiyi, having advanced to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, carrying an Immortal Sword, set out with the Wind Granny of Yaochi Holy Land to head straight for Unparalleled City.
Almost simultaneously, in Dongchi Kingdom, the overall strength of Lu Changsheng and his disciples increased significantly, and Lu Changsheng could now skillfully use the Sky-Piercing Divine Fire Pillars as a treasure.
Not only that, but because Lu Changsheng had slain Elder Hanchan, the Demon Chief of the Blood Sea Palace, and had received the Power of Faith from the mortals in Dongchi Kingdom and other places, the Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda had grown from seventeen to eighteen layers, giving Lu Changsheng a pleasant surprise.
The Eighteen-layered Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda was comparable to a semi-Holy Artifact for defense.
“It’s time to cause some trouble for the Green Ox King.”
Lu Changsheng put away the eight Sky-Piercing Divine Fire Pillars and the Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda and, accompanied by his four Heavenly Immortal Realm disciples, flew toward Unparalleled City; this time he did not believe he could not defeat the Green Ox King.
