“Yaochi Holy Land’s Liu Yiyi, has seen Daoist Lu. Thanks to Daoist Lu’s intervention, who faced danger without fear and scared away the Demon Chief.”
Liu Yiyi had already met Dugu Aotian’s master, Lu Changsheng, and was thus not unfamiliar with him.
“This person was not scared away by me, I fear he had some reservations and left on his own accord. Disciple, follow your master back to Tai Hua Holy Land. And Miss Liu, you should also make a trip to Tai Hua Holy Land.”
“Me?”
“People from the Yaochi Holy Land will be visiting Tai Hua Holy Land soon. You can go back to Yaochi with them on your way.”
“Alright.”
Since the Yaochi Holy Land has a good relationship with Tai Hua Holy Land, Liu Yiyi would certainly receive the best protection at Tai Hua Holy Land. Furthermore, she could return to Yaochi with her fellow sect members, without having to worry about encountering any Elders from the Demon Sects along the way.
At Tai Hua Holy Land, as Golden Immortal Wu De, who was guarding the mountain gate, saw Lu Changsheng bringing two people back, he hurriedly came forward to greet them: “Welcome back to the mountain, Holy Son.”
Lu Changsheng nodded as a gesture and noticed that the number of disciples at the mountain gate had increased several-fold: “Is this to welcome the people from Yaochi Holy Land?”
“Exactly. The Mother of Yaochi from Yaochi Holy Land will personally lead the team to visit our Saint Lord to discuss some important matters.”
“Hmm.”
Lu Changsheng returned to Yuntai Peak and arranged for Liu Yiyi to stay in a cave dwelling near Dugu Aotian’s.
Liu Yiyi was a Holy Maiden of Yaochi, befriending such a person, it was possible that in the future he could gain the support of the powerful Yaochi Holy Land.
“This is the seventeenth-grade talisman—Cleansing Immortal Talisman—that your master has acquired. It can conceal your Demonic Qi. In this way, as long as you do not use Demonic Cultivation Skills, you will not be easily detected as someone from the Demon Sects.”
Lu Changsheng bestowed a seventeenth-grade talisman upon Dugu Aotian.
The current reward of the seventeenth-grade talisman did not result in any returns from the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator.
However, Lu Changsheng was not concerned about one more or one less return from the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator.
The fact that Dugu Aotian came from the Demon Realm was still better kept from others, or it might lead to unnecessary troubles.
Among Lu Changsheng’s disciples were the Dragon Emperor, Buddha, War God, and many Demon Ancestors, so having one more wasn’t a big deal.
Three days later, Lin Qinghan transmitted a message to Lu Changsheng: “Junior Brother, the people from Yaochi Holy Land are arriving soon. Father wants you and me to go and welcome them together.”
“I’ll be right there.”
As the Holy Son of Tai Hua Holy Land, Lu Changsheng needed to attend some important events.
The visit of the Mother of Yaochi was a very significant event.
The Mother of Yaochi controlled Yaochi Holy Land, and her status was on par with Lin Xuantong.
However, the difference was that Lin Xuantong and Liu Mufeng were geniuses from around the same era, while the Mother of Yaochi was from an older generation than theirs.
Effectively, the Mother of Yaochi was of the same generation as Lin Xuantong’s master.
In many holy lands, the Mother of Yaochi was considered a very senior figure, which is why her visit to Tai Hua Holy Land was given the highest standard of treatment.
Lin Xuantong, leading the Holy Son, Holy Maiden, Holy Son Candidates, Holy Maiden Candidates, many Elders, and Supreme Elders, personally went to the mountain gate to welcome them.
The Green Luan Chariot paved the way, Celestial Maidens Scattered Flowers, and auspicious clouds billowed.
Several thousand disciples from Yaochi followed the Mother of Yaochi’s chariot, landing at the mountain gate of Tai Hua Holy Land.
The two individuals closest to the Mother of Yaochi’s chariot were a man and a woman, with the man dressed in purple silk Daoist Robe, and the woman garbed in opulent clothes.
The aura of these two was like that of dragons and tigers, and their cultivation was unfathomably deep.
And the Mother of Yaochi, who was in the chariot, was even more highly cultivated.
Near the chariot of the Mother of Yaochi, Qi Destiny and causality were all obstructed, preventing other Great Experts from calculating her whereabouts.
“Junior Lin Xuantong, has seen the Mother of Yaochi.”

After all, the Mother of Yaochi was a contemporary of his master.
“Your cultivation has improved again. Worthy of being the peerless genius who ranked second on the Qilin Ranking. Back then, my disciple was completely overshadowed by your brilliance.”
A pleasant voice came from inside the chariot.
Unlike the aged voice Lu Changsheng had imagined, this voice sounded more like that of a young woman.
But then again, with the Mother of Yaochi’s cultivation, maintaining eternal youth was not a difficult feat.
“The Mother jests. In your presence, I am still far inferior,” Lin Xuantong knew just how formidable the Mother of Yaochi’s cultivation was.
The Mother of Yaochi was a prodigious figure in her era as well and would not have been able to manage the holy land for so many years otherwise.
Once, a certain Holy Maiden Candidate of Yaochi was captured into the Demon Realm. The Mother of Yaochi dared to lead the peerless experts of Yaochi Holy Land into the Demon Realm. Although they ultimately were not able to rescue their disciple, and Yaochi Holy Land suffered significant losses, with even the Ancestor perishing, the fact that they could come out from the Demon Realm was proof of the Mother of Yaochi’s strength.
Lu Changsheng transmitted to Lin Qinghan: “Strange, with the Mother of Yaochi’s age, why is she still leading the holy land? Is there no genius in Yaochi Holy Land who can replace the Mother of Yaochi?”
Lin Qinghan’s expression changed: “Junior Brother, you must never let the Mother of Yaochi hear you talk about her age, otherwise even my father cannot protect you. Back in the day, the Mother of Yaochi had an exceptional disciple who could rival my father. She was designated by the Mother of Yaochi as the next Mother of Yaochi, but then she was captured into the Demon Realm. The Mother of Yaochi led a rescue but the disciple was not saved, and a group of their most extraordinary experts were lost, even the Ancestor… It’s because of the tragic loss to Yaochi Holy Land and the lack of a successor that the Mother of Yaochi had to continue leading the holy land, to prevent others from taking advantage of their weakness.”
“I see.”
Lu Changsheng finally understood why the Mother of Yaochi, despite being of an older generation than Lin Xuantong, continued to lead the holy land—it was in order to maintain the status of Yaochi Holy Land.
Likewise, in Tai Hua Holy Land, ancestors who were of a higher generation than Lin Xuantong had handed over their responsibilities and now focused on cultivating peacefully in the back mountains, needing only to concentrate on their own cultivation without being distracted by mundane affairs.
