Yellow Court Daoist
Chapter 652 591: Recounting the Past, The Four Disciples' Whereabouts
Luo Jia Mountain.
Flying Phoenix Abyss.
Lu Qingfeng and Mountain Wind sat opposite each other, reminiscing about the past and discussing present events. After some time, Lu Qingfeng gained a general understanding of the state of Guangyuan Immortal Sect and the situation of Mountain Wind, Skylark, including the four disciples of Lin Feng, following his departure.
When he left,
Guangyuan Immortal Sect was already the top Immortal Sect on Fengyue Star, surpassing Upper Origin Palace, Qingyun Sect, and Da Xumi Temple—a sect housing numerous True Men.
Lin Feng's four disciples, along with Mountain Wind and Skylark, had all achieved the status of Jiedan True Men.
The battle at Two Pole Star,
one hundred and fifty years later,
Lu Qingfeng, with Six-winged, traveled far into the starry sky seeking a path forward, only to eventually become lost in the vast cosmos, where he aged and died.
After his departure,
Lin Feng and the other three disciples followed his example, each stepping into the starry sky in search of transcendence.
For a long time thereafter, there was no word from them,
leaving only Mountain Wind and Skylark to lead Guangyuan Immortal Sect.
Born from beast clans, their cultivation was more challenging, yet they had the advantage of long life spans. Coupled with True Sect Level Cultivation Methods and Divine Skills bestowed by Lu Qingfeng, they held their ground firmly on Fengyue Star, suppressing the Three Sects both overtly and covertly, causing their gradual decline.
Fengyue Star was gradually overtaken by Guangyuan Immortal Sect.
The sect's disciples spread throughout the stars.
Three thousand six hundred years later,
Guangyuan Immortal Sect's influence had grown tremendously, coming into conflict with another top-ranking star, 'Hundred Wheel Star.' The Hundred Wheel Sect on Hundred Wheel Star was formidable, with a Primordial Spirit True One at its helm and far more Jiedan True Men than Guangyuan Immortal Sect.
In terms of resources and strength, they were incomparable to those of Fengyue Star.
At the time, both Mountain Wind and Skylark were at the peak of Jiedan, and together they barely managed to counter the Primordial Spirit True One of Hundred Wheel Sect with their Divine Skills.
Guangyuan Immortal Sect was forced into retreat.
During a major battle, Mountain Wind and Skylark were ultimately no match for the Primordial Spirit, with Skylark severely wounded and forced to undergo her first Nirvana.
Without Skylark, Mountain Wind alone was no match for the Primordial Spirit True One from Hundred Wheel Sect.
Just as Guangyuan Immortal Sect was on the brink of destruction, and both Mountain Wind and Skylark faced mortal peril, Lin Feng and the others made a triumphant return, each now a Primordial Spirit True One. With a wave of their hands, they wiped out the Primordial Spirit of Hundred Wheel Sect and took charge of the battle, eventually seizing Hundred Wheel Star.
Guangyuan Immortal Sect thus controlled two major top-tier stars, substantially increasing their strength and foundation.
"Big Brother and the others all wandered in the starry sky and were caught in a meteor storm. What originally seemed like a catastrophe turned out to be a blessing. The storm swept them into a mysterious place where a spiritual spring capable of aiding cultivation was found. Trapped there, the four siblings practiced for hundreds of years and eventually each ascended to Primordial Spirit."
"After her first Nirvana, Little Sister also ascended to Primordial Spirit."
"While I went to the same spring and broke through to the Primordial Spirit Realm."
"When Big Brother and the others returned, they also searched for Master and Six-winged far and wide. Unfortunately, the vastness of the starry sky yielded no news."
"If they knew Master was well today, they would surely be overjoyed."
Mountain Wind recounted past events and current times with such animation that his aged face seemed to grow years younger, and even his stooped figure straightened a bit. However, as he continued, his mood fell again, "After capturing Hundred Wheel Star, the siblings searched for Master everywhere. Thousands of years passed, and they almost traversed the entire starry sky. Eventually, the Fourth Brother discovered a Black Abyss at the heart of the starry sky. That terrifying abyss led to the unknown. They speculated that Master and Six-winged might have passed through this Black Abyss to its other end, so they instructed me and Little Sister to take good care of Guangyuan Immortal Sect and wait for Master's return before they stepped into the abyss, and since then, there was no news."
"I also sent disciples to explore the other end of the Black Abyss, but alas, none returned."
"Over the tens of thousands of years since, a few cultivators have emerged from the Black Abyss, and I learned that on the other end lies a Great Realm called 'Nanhua Realm.' The Black Abyss is perilous and travel is difficult. The two realms had never truly interacted, and seventy thousand years ago, a great change caused the Black Abyss to collapse overnight, severing the connection between the two realms since then."
"But I surmise that Big Brother and the others are definitely in Nanhua Realm."
Mountain Wind detailed the whereabouts of Lin Feng and others, mixing in the changes and fluctuations between the two realms.
Despite Mountain Wind's speculations, his expression was filled with concern.
After all, separated by ten thousand years and two realms, Mountain Wind was uncertain whether Lin Feng and the other three siblings were still alive. He even harbored a grimmer speculation—
If they were still alive, they must have achieved True Immortal status. With the abilities of True Immortals and their Divine Skills, returning from Nanhua Realm to Black Star Realm should not be a problem.
Yet in ten thousand years, they never returned, nor was there any news.
"Perhaps—"
Mountain Wind sighed inwardly.
"They are indeed in Nanhua Realm."
Listening, Lu Qingfeng nodded slightly. "Has Master already seen Big Brother and the others?" Mountain Wind asked, his expression suddenly uplifted.
Lu Qingfeng had bestowed life-changing benefits on him, but Lin Feng and the others had also shown him immense kindness. If not for their information about the spiritual spring, he would have likely been trapped at the Peak of Jiedan and died on Fengyue Star long ago.
With no hope of today's glorious achievements.
Thinking that Lin Feng and the others were mostly in grave danger, but hearing Lu Qingfeng's words suggested otherwise.
Mountain Wind was intensely overjoyed.
"Not yet,"
Lu Qingfeng shook his head, seeing Mountain Wind's expression falter, he added, "I haven't been to Nanhua Realm yet, but I did calculate that Lin Feng and the others are within that realm."
He practiced the 'Seven Beasts Small Divine Number,' capable of calculating the vast cosmos.
Although separated by two realms and the strange destiny of Nanhua Realm making it difficult to determine specifics, Lin Feng and the others were still his disciples. Calculating their approximate location and their safety was not difficult.
When he first arrived in Black Star Realm.
Lu Qingfeng had calculated that Lin Feng and the others were indeed in Nanhua Realm.
"Fantastic!"
Ancestor Mountain Wind rejoiced upon hearing the news.
He had no doubts about Lu Qingfeng's words. The weight that had been hanging in his heart finally fell.
Lu Qingfeng chuckled, about to speak, but suddenly raised his head, his gaze piercing through Flying Phoenix Abyss, settling beyond Fengyue Star.
"Master?"
Seeing Lu Qingfeng's abrupt movement, Ancestor Mountain Wind couldn't help but hesitate.
Followed by.
His expression also changed as he looked up at the sky, then quickly averted his gaze back to Lu Qingfeng standing before him, "It's Mr. Ping Bufen from Earth Spirit Sect."
"Incoming esteemed presence of Mr. Ping, forgive us for not greeting you from afar."
Inside Fengyue Star.
Wang Zhongbai leapt to the sky, greeting the visitor with a cupped fist salute, yet suspicion arose in his heart, "Just the other day, I visited Earth Spirit Sect, and this Ping Bufen even used cultivating in seclusion as an excuse not to see me. Why today—"
"Could he really have been in seclusion that day?"
Wang Zhongbai pondered with doubt, showing nothing in his expression.
The person from beyond the heavens, clothed in a white robe, with the appearance of middle age, his face sharp like cut by a knife and long hair fluttering, carried an extraordinary aura, emanating a sense of virtuous daoist immortal.
That was indeed Black Star Realm's Earth Spirit Sect's true immortal—
Ping Bufen.
"Mr. Wang, you flatter me."
Ping Bufen landed right outside the starry space, saluting Wang Zhongbai with a gesture.
Wang Zhongbai smiled on the surface, gesturing with his hand, and said, "Since Fellow Daoist has traveled from afar, why not enter Luo Jia Mountain to converse?"
"No rush, no rush."
Ping Bufen laughed heartily, declaring, "In recent years, I secluded myself and felt great advancement in my Dao ability. Everyone says Ancestor Mountain Wind of Guangyuan Immortal Sect has cultivated the Supreme Skill for ten thousand years, mastering techniques beyond us at Earth Spirit Sect. As for prowess in body refinement, superior even to Arhat Temple. Although unworthy, I am here today to challenge and learn."
Upon those words.
Wang Zhongbai's face immediately darkened.
"Ancestor usually stays reclusive and ignores worldly affairs, a well-known fact. If Fellow Daoist feels the itch to spar, although unworthy, I have practiced Guangyuan Supreme Sword Dao. Perhaps allow me to accompany Fellow Daoist in a friendly challenge?"
Wang Zhongbai stared coldly at Ping Bufen.
This man's provocation and desire to challenge a revered elder of the sect was impudent and rude. Wang Zhongbai knew this person bore ill intentions, and naturally would not maintain a welcoming smile any longer.
His hand moved from his robe, revealing a long sword.
A fighting spirit arose.
"You?"
Ping Bufen's mouth slightly curved in a mocking smile, and with a stretch of his hand, a twenty-four-segment earth-yellow hard whip appeared.
Without a movement signal.
A whip came slashing down towards Wang Zhongbai.
"What a formidable Mountain Chasing Whip!"
Wang Zhongbai holding his long sword, watched as the whip smashed down, seemingly overturning heaven and earth, massive mountains pressed towards him. From all corners of the stars, peaks sprouted from the ground, ferociously smashing down. Simultaneously, mountain ranges transformed into ancient divine dragons, roaring towards him.
It was the Earth Spirit Sect's 'Mountain Chasing Skill'.
The Mountain Chasing Whip in Ping Bufen's hand was Earth Spirit Sect's treasure before the Great Destruction, comparable to Upper Origin Palace's 'Eight Sceneries Tower', both top-tier Magic Artifacts. In Ping Bufen's hands, after several refinements of spirit and mind, it had become an extension of his will, incredibly powerful.
Used in conjunction with 'Mountain Chasing Skill', its strength was formidable.
In terms of power, with the Mountain Chasing Whip in hand, Ping Bufen could be ranked within the top five, even top three, within Black Star Realm.
Only revered Ancestor Mountain Wind of the sect could confidently suppress him.
Certainly not Wang Zhongbai, an ordinary True Man at Mahayana First Realm, could contend with, justifiably arrogant.
"The two revered ancestors should not be lightly disturbed."
"I cannot retreat!"
As Wang Zhongbai watched mountains and mountain ranges onslaught, he felt himself stuck in the mire, struggling to move. He realized this was due to the 'Mountain Chasing Skill' brewing Earth Pole Magnetic Power. Caught in this technique, the oppressive magnetic force of the massive mountains entangled him, making escape nearly impossible.
He couldn't afford to be careless.
Wang Zhongbai unleashed a sword strike, sword qi crisscrossing, immediately allowing twenty-three streams of sword qi to sweep across, aligning into a Sword Array in the void. Once the Sword Array was activated, sword qi turned into rivers, endlessly grinding, momentarily shaking the Magnetic Power and shattering the layers of mountains.
Seizing the gap.
He moved, transforming into a beam of sword light, swiftly shifting to one side.
Boom!
