“This is the Nine Revolutions Soul Return Pill that Suxin Fairy refined on Master’s behalf.”
Xiao Fan handed over the elixir pills refined by Suxin Fairy to Lu Changsheng.
With this elixir, Shen Xiaoyao was finally able to restore his memory. Stay tuned with My Virtual Library Empire
Lu Changsheng, accompanied by Tang Ling’er, headed for Yellow Dragon Mountain.
At Yellow Dragon Mountain, the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Master Sect, Qingxu True Sovereign, had returned from Qianyuan Cave Heaven with serious injuries.
Qingxu True Sovereign ordered the Heavenly Master Sect to enter a state of martial readiness; his disciples needed to be more cautious when venturing out from now on.
Shen Xiaoyao learned from Qingxu True Sovereign that he had encountered a powerful being from the Demon Realm in Qianyuan Cave Heaven. Qingxu True Sovereign and the previous Sect Leader of the Heavenly Master Sect had joined forces and ultimately managed to defeat the Demon Realm’s strong being, escaping back to Yellow Dragon Mountain.
It was at this time that Lu Changsheng arrived for a visit.
Qingxu True Sovereign roughly knew why Lu Changsheng and Tang Ling’er had come, so he met with the two: “It just so happens that I got injured in Qianyuan Cave Heaven and am probably unable to protect this disciple now. You take him away. However, I still hope that one day he will be able to inherit the position of the Sect Leader of our Heavenly Master Sect.”
“That is acceptable.”
If Shen Xiaoyao could lead the Heavenly Master Sect in the future, then the Sect’s power could indirectly be utilized by Lu Changsheng.
With Shen Xiaoyao standing by, Lu Changsheng handed him the Nine Revolutions Soul Return Pill: “Once you take this pill, you can restore your damaged memory, but the sudden restoration will be extremely painful due to the merging of the two sets of memories.”
Shen Xiaoyao nodded, and under the watchful eyes of Tang Ling’er and Wu Wan’er, he swallowed the Nine Revolutions Soul Return Pill.
Shen Xiaoyao’s face twisted in pain.
His damaged memories began to reawaken, and memories of bygone days surged to his heart.
“Ling… Ling’er…”
Shen Xiaoyao thought of the vivacious girl he had met in the ruins under the Star Immortal Emperor.
“My name is Tang Ling’er.”
That familiar voice spoke out.
Tang Ling’er, hearing Shen Xiaoyao whisper her name, felt a surge of emotion, and tears involuntarily streamed down her cheeks: “Xiaoyao brother, you’ve finally remembered…”
“Xiaoyao…”
Wu Wan’er, realizing that Shen Xiaoyao still held a place for Tang Ling’er in his heart, couldn’t help but sigh quietly.
“Ahhh!!!”
The merging of the two memories led Shen Xiaoyao to let out a painful cry.
Tang Ling’er and Wu Wan’er were both deeply moved.
“Do not disturb him, or it will drive him insane.”
Lu Changsheng used his True Qi to restrain Tang Ling’er and Wu Wan’er, to keep them from disturbing Shen Xiaoyao’s memory restoration process.
After a while, Shen Xiaoyao opened his eyes again, his gaze clear.
However, Shen Xiaoyao gave Lu Changsheng a wry smile and secretly transmitted a message: “Master, please save me!”
Now that Shen Xiaoyao’s memory was restored, he realized he was trapped in an unfavorable position with the “Asura Field” and couldn’t face both Tang Ling’er and Wu Wan’er at the same time.
So, upon remembering that Lu Changsheng was his Master, Shen Xiaoyao asked for his help to intervene.
Lu Changsheng understood Shen Xiaoyao’s predicament, so he said to Tang Ling’er and Wu Wan’er: “Both of you women are my disciple’s wives, properly wedded. It would be heartless to abandon either one. Why don’t you both follow my disciple from now on? If he should become involved with anyone else in the future, I, as his Master, will personally take care of him. What do you think?”
Concerned that Shen Xiaoyao would choose the other, and upon hearing Lu Changsheng’s suggestion, Tang Ling’er and Wu Wan’er simultaneously responded with the same voice: “Yes.”
Shen Xiaoyao gave them a grateful look.
The Master truly lived up to his name; at the key moment, he reached out a hand to pull him back from the brink, for Shen Xiaoyao found it hard to explain himself to Tang Ling’er and Wu Wan’er.
“Qingxu True Sovereign is injured and unable to protect the two of you, so from now on you will accompany me to cultivate at Mount Taihua,” said Lu Changsheng as he decided to take both Shen Xiaoyao and Wu Wan’er away.
Shen Xiaoyao and Wu Wan’er bade farewell to Qingxu True Sovereign.
After all, both had cultivated in the Heavenly Master Sect for a long time and had taken Qingxu True Sovereign as their Master, which led them to develop attachments to the Sect.
Qingxu True Sovereign, having long heard of Lu Changsheng’s strength and his defeat of the Impermanence Demon Monarch in Qianyuan Cave Heaven, believed that Shen Xiaoyao and Wu Wan’er would both benefit under Lu Changsheng’s mentorship. Accordingly, he told them: “You two must not be lax in your cultivation under the guidance of Lu. Do you understand? Xiaoyao, when you return to the Heavenly Master Sect in the future, you will take over as Sect Leader.”
Other Elders in the Heavenly Master Sect were astounded to hear Qingxu True Sovereign’s decision.
Yet none of the many Elders of the Heavenly Master Sect had any objections.
Shen Xiaoyao was ranked among the top one hundred on the Qilin Ranking and possessed peerless talent. Furthermore, he was going to further his cultivation in the Holy Land of Mount Taihua. Upon his return to the Heavenly Master Sect, it was very likely that Shen Xiaoyao would have the capability to lead the Sect as its Leader.
“I will carefully heed your words,” Shen Xiaoyao bowed several times before he left with Wu Wan’er and Lu Changsheng for Mount Taihua.
Shen Xiaoyao returned to Lu Changsheng’s tutelage for further cultivation.
The relationship between Tang Ling’er and Wu Wan’er eased, and both formally married Shen Xiaoyao.
Shen Xiaoyao proved to be the Son of Fortune indeed, enjoying the fortune of many.
But the eldest disciple, Lin Qingzhi, appeared lost in thought.
“Are you missing Chen Yao?”
Lu Changsheng could tell what was on Lin Qingzhi’s mind.
“Yes.”
Lin Qingzhi had been separated from Chen Yao for a long time and only knew that she was still alive. However, in the Immortal Realm, he couldn’t find any trace of her whereabouts.
“As long as she hasn’t fallen, the day will come when you will meet again.”
Lu Changsheng, through simulating Chen Yao’s life with the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator, knew that his sixth disciple, Chen Yao, was still alive.
However, the Simulator never hinted at Chen Yao’s specific location, so Lu Changsheng did not yet know her whereabouts.
Lin Qingzhi silently nodded in acknowledgment.
Although he was usually reticent, Lu Changsheng knew that Lin Qingzhi simply preferred not to express his feelings to others.
“Lu, come quickly to the Main Peak Great Hall.”
The voice of Lin Qinghan echoed in Lu Changsheng’s mind; Lin Qinghan transmitting a message like this must mean something was happening.
