“Husband, you’re almost finished preparing, right? After you finish this bowl of noodles, we should get going.”
Yu Qinghan entered the room at the inn, holding a bowl of fragrant noodles with gravy.
Zhao Huai slowly opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his face.
“Okay.”
As a cultivator in the Initiation Stage who has abstained from cereals, he could go a very long time without eating. But he simply liked the taste.
Without food, the pleasures of the world seemed lacking.
Zhao Huai enjoyed his noodles, and Yu Qinghan enjoyed watching him eat.
This time, Zhao Huai was not bashful about eating openly. It was wonderful to have someone watching; he would fear if there were no one to see him. “I bet it was that girl Pei Xiangyun who told you about me, isn’t it?”
Yu Qinghan asked, her hands cupping her cheeks, her eyes shimmering.
Zhao Huai’s lips curled up in a smirk as he swiftly gave away his younger sister-in-law.
“That’s right, it was her.”
“She can’t keep her mouth shut.” Although Yu Qinghan said this, there was no anger on her face. Instead, she had a wry smile.
Because she knew that if Pei Xiangyun hadn’t informed her, she might have never seen her husband again.
“Fortunately, your strength was strong enough to retreat unscathed from the gatekeeper of the Limitless Immortal Sect.”
After finishing his noodles, Zhao Huai wiped his mouth with a napkin, and curiously asked: “I noticed that you seem to know quite a bit about that Golden Core Realm cultivator.”
Yu Qinghan nodded: “The Limitless Immortal Sect and I share much in common. When I was young, I actually trained at the Limitless Immortal Sect. They are the leader of the Five Immortal Sects and have a deep background.”
“Unlike the ordinary Immortal Cultivation Sects, the ancient Immortal Sects are mostly located in the Central State Spiritual Mountains. It is isolated from the world and is where many immortals ascended thousands of years ago. It is dubbed as such because the spiritual qi is incredibly abundant.” She continued to explain.
“So that’s how it is.” Zhao Huai mused, finding the lives of these so-called ‘immortal sects’ quite enviable. No wonder they look down upon the mundane world.
After deliberating upon this, Zhao Huai chuckled and said:
“Let’s go, back to Jinzhou.”
In the midst of the Spiritual Mountains, innumerable peaks stand tall, shrouded by the immortal mist.
A streak of light shot through the sky, like a startled swan passing through a gap, and was swallowed by the boundless formation crowning one of the peaks. This formation seemed to have its own cosmos within and appeared limitless at a glance.
After the streak of light entered the formation, it vanished without a trace.
Inside the formation, countless Immortal Peaks stretched into an endless horizon, spanning across up to ten thousand li.
The streak of swift light materialized into a figure at a grand Immortal Peak. It was Xu Muchen, clad in a white Taoist robe.
Inside the peak, an old man in a bamboo hat stared at a silvery lake, his vision profound, gripping a fishing rod, standing motionlessly.
Seeing the old man, Xu Muchen bowed respectfully, not daring to slack. He greeted with a bow:
“Elder Hai, I request an audience with the Sect Master.”
The bamboo hat-clad old man remained unfazed, his gaze still firmly fixed on the lake. He unenthusiastically said:
“The Sect Master is very busy. Whatever matter you have, you can tell me.”
Xu Muchen looked troubled. This matter could be big or small. If he couldn’t let the Sect Master make the decision personally, he’d always bear a sense of tension. If things took a terrible turn, he might end up with the blame.
While being the gatekeeper seemed relaxing, it was not the case. Actually, it was a form of cultivation in the Immortal Sect.
Only cultivators of great potential in the Sect were qualified to hold this position. Successfully navigating this role presents opportunities to access abundant resources, potentially holding positions like those of an elder, protector, or executor in the sect.
He had been faultless in the past few years. He simply couldn’t allow a single night to ruin his future prospects.
A silence lingered in the air. At this moment, the fishing rod started shaking violently, with a long line visibly trembling. A mysterious light followed the rod and entered the old man’s hand.
A sharp gleam flashed in the old man’s cloudy eyes.
Suddenly, a massive whirlpool appeared on the vast silver lake, spreading a strong fishy smell throughout the peak.
As the elder felt the formidable force from the other end, he tightened his grip on the fishing rod. Not long after, the whirlpool on the lake grew larger, and the water churned and swirled, causing enormous waves.
His old eyes squinted, as one of his hands loosened its grip.
Spiritual qi from the unseen surged swiftly, forming into a finger-sized point, enveloping everything in a heavenly glow, giving the appearance of a lofty spiritual needle.
Shick!
A sound of space breaking arose, as the finger formed in mid-air pierced through the water tornado, entering the gigantic vortex.
Seeing this, Xu Muchen was also astounded.
I had heard that when the pill shatters and gives birth, then there is Rebirth[i.e., formation of the Rebirth Realm]. Seeing it today, it is truly startling.
Splash!
Being dealt with this, the creature under the surface of the lake eventually could not bear it any longer, the other end of the rod line revealing a huge head, a terrifying head with horns, having vertical pupils like a snake, but the color was as bright as jade, just one eye is as tall as a person, it made people feel insignificant in its presence.
This is actually a Jade-eyed Green Flood Dragon, known as the Lake Flood Dragon.
“Roar!”
The green flood dragon roared with anger on the surface of the lake, apparently not willing, still wanting to struggle, to escape.
But it was swung aside by the bamboo-hatted old man with a flick of his fishing rod, as if with divine strength, creating a loud crash as it hit the ground, a considerable number of the flood dragon’s shiny scales fell off, as it writhed on the ground, it seems to be severely injured.
After doing all this, the bamboo hatted old man turned to look at Xu Muchen, seeming to be in a much better mood, smiling faintly: “Speak, when did this incident occur? I will calculate for you.”
“Last night, in the Imperial City.” Xu Muchen honestly replied.
The bamboo hatted old man nodded, preparing to calculate and infer heavenly fate, but as he calculated, he found something wrong, and couldn’t help but frown.
The heavenly fate seemed to be warning him, do not pry, do not pry.
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation, he did not believe in evil, and insisted on seeing it.
“Boom!”
Accompanying a thunderous crash, the clouds above the Immortal Peak rolled ominously, and with a “crack, ” a heavenly thunderbolt fell.
Like a winding dragon, falling straight down.
After the shocking thunderbolt, the bamboo hat on the old man’s head fell down dispiritedly, and there was horror in his muddy eyes, his face paled.
“Cough!”
He couldn’t suppress his throat and coughed up a mouthful of old blood.
Xu Muchen was instantly dumbfounded. The bamboo-hatted old man had been sitting by this heavenly pool fishing for spiritual objects for a hundred years, nothing unexpected had ever happened before when he sought his help. They always found a solution, how had he ever seen him in such an embarrassed state? And what was with the heavenly thunderbolt?
“Elder, you…”
The old man shook his head, indicating he was fine.
The crystalline and transparent phantom of the baby flickered, and a pure qi directly infused into the body of the bamboo hat old man, making his complexion quite normal soon.
“Who has emerged from the Mortal World in these hundred years, whom even I cannot see through.”
At this time, within the Limitless Immortal Sect, lights were emerging, the sky turned extremely beautiful, and in the void, a vague voice sounded.
“The heavenly fate of this child must not be revealed.”
The voice echoed between Heaven and Earth, like thunder, like a tide, with a constant humming noise. Even the writhing Green Flood Dragon on the ground stopped moving.
This voice was obviously warning the two of them.
Xu Muchen naturally knew whose voice this was.
The master of the Limitless Immortal Sect.
“Do you understand?” The bamboo hat old man said indifferently.
Xu Muchen slowly nodded: “I understand. This person cannot be touched.”
He thought for a moment, and asked again: “This person said that he is the First Raven Protector, he should be deceiving people, right?”
“The Raven Sect?”
Upon hearing these words, the bamboo hat old man showed a contemptuous expression.
“The Crow Immortal that this Raven Sect worships is an Ancient Evil Immortal. They are not good people.”
“Now, they are nothing but a group of jumping clowns. You handle it yourself.”
Xu Muchen then understood and bowed in thanks:
“Disciple understands.”
