Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 307 - 287 Six-winged Transformation! End of the 14th Era!

Lonely starry sky.

Lu Qingfeng, clad in a cyan robe, stands atop a meteorite as massive as a mountain. His white hair flutters wildly, and his beard streams in the wind, giving him an immortal-like appearance.

Behind him stands a brocade-clad young man.

His features are chiseled and stern, his face cold. Upon closer inspection, a fierce look is unmistakably present between his brows, impossible to conceal.

Lu Qingfeng gazes at the starry sky, contemplating the universe.

The young man stares intently at Lu Qingfeng's back, his eyes unblinking, occasionally revealing a fierce and murderous aura.

"Six-winged."

"Do you still remember how long you have been following your master?"

Lu Qingfeng, with his back to the young man, has his white hair and beard flowing, yet his back is straight, his gaze still fixed deep into the cosmic starry sky, his voice clear and resonant.

"Responding to teacher."

"Since Six-winged was ignorant and naive, it has been two thousand seven hundred and eighty-five years."

The brocade-clad young man, like a steel warrior, is filled with a true intent of slaughter.

"Two thousand seven hundred and eighty-five years."

"How merciless the years are."

Lu Qingfeng folds his hands behind his back, unable to help but sigh.

Since obtaining the Two Pole Universe Light Disk from the Two Pole Star, and thereafter capturing Six-winged. Unconsciously, it has been almost three thousand years. Six-winged Golden Silkworm was initially a mere brutal and mindless larva. Lu Qingfeng took it by his side and enlightened it with the Yellow Court Great Method, opening its intelligence.

Over a hundred years.

With five enlightenments, he managed to inspire a spark of spiritual intelligence within Six-winged amidst its brutal and savage nature.

After another fifty years.

And then several hundred years in the cosmos, continually teaching the Great Method, continuously explaining various principles.

Finally allowing that spark of spiritual intelligence to robustly grow amidst its brutal, impulsive nature rooted deep within its flesh and soul, enabling it to suppress its nature with reason.

Since then.

He stepped onto the path of cultivation.

Today, after more than two thousand years, the former Six-winged Golden Silkworm has already achieved a state comparable to that of a Jiedan True Man and became a cultivator under Lu Qingfeng's tutelage.

Transformed into a graceful young man.

Six-winged Golden Silkworm is a mutant from the Primordial era, rare in the world after the great calamity. Yet with great fortune, like Six-winged, to receive guidance from a renowned master, to awaken spiritual intelligence from a brutish and mindless state, and to step onto the path of cultivation, it is indeed unique across the heavens and the earth.

As one nears death.

It is always good to reminisce about past events.

Suddenly smiling, Lu Qingfeng turns around, looking towards the last disciple in the Black Star Realm, also the one who has followed him the longest.

Although there is ferocity in Six-winged's brows, deep in his eyes lies boundless admiration and sorrow.

"Foolish child."

Lu Qingfeng extends his hand, still as white as jade.

Six-winged bows his head, just like so many times before when he received enlightenments over the years.

This time.

However, Lu Qingfeng does not rush to perform the Great Method.

Merely looking at the low-bowed Six-winged, he sighs, "Since ancient times, the path of cultivation has not been easy. You were originally a Six-winged Golden Silkworm, hopeless in cultivation. Your teacher initiated you into the doorway, knowing that you would face countless tribulations in the future, and it's uncertain whether this was right or wrong."

Initially.

It was exhausting to enlighten Six-winged Golden Silkworm, just to try out the 'Enlightenment' Great Method. As time passed, affection deepened, the master-disciple bond grew strong, yet worries arose in his heart.

Leading Six-winged Golden Silkworm onto the path, after awakening its intelligence, troubles began to arise.

Whether it is a blessing or a curse, truly, it is unpredictable.

Six-winged bows his head, silently listening to his mentor's teachings.

Lu Qingfeng shakes his head, casting aside these sentimental feelings, continuing, "Since you've entered Xuanmen, you must take cultivation seriously. Do not rely on your nature to wreak havoc everywhere; otherwise, even if the heavens and earth do not accept you, your teacher, knowing this, will not spare you either. The Six-winged Golden Silkworm breed wrought immeasurable karma and consequences upon the world. Since you have entered the path, you cannot escape punishment in the future."

"If people deceive you, you may retaliate. If people kill you, you are justified in killing them."

"Just remember, killing is only for protecting the path, not for acting on your nature. Maintain your heart set on the path, and only then can you aspire to the Immortal Dao and Longevity. Otherwise, you will fall back into the Demon Dao, return to your ignorant nature, and will never transcend."

Lu Qingfeng has had many disciples over more than ten generations.

Everything follows karmic fate.

He is particularly worried about this ferocious, reticent little disciple with a trace of true goodness in his heart.

More than two thousand years of the starry sky's arduous journey, imparting countless teachings.

At the final moment.

Still continually instructing.

Six-winged is not impatient, quietly listening, the sadness in his eyes growing denser.

Suddenly.

The voice of his teacher by his ear abruptly stops, Six-winged is about to look up, but a roaring sound echoes in his mind.

Enlightenment!

Six-winged, ever familiar with it, does not resist, silently bearing it.

Cultivating for more than two thousand years with the "Five Thunder Heart Sutra," countless mysteries rush forth, filled with the Five Thunders True Method, suffusing his heart, using the Righteous Sect's method to suppress the brutal and ferocious nature in his heart.

And then a turn.

Numerous mysteries of the Little Thousand Thunder Prison surge into his mind; his already mastered Divine Skills advance rapidly.

Until the end.

The Xuanyuan Sect's tranquil Divine Skill 'Ice Heart Technique' solemnly recites in his mind, purifying his mind and spirit, resolving the endless and boundless ferocious aura.

After a long while.

His Divine Soul is painfully stinging, unable to continue falling out of the mystical state.

Enduring the weakness of his Divine Soul, Six-winged struggles to lift his head, only to see his teacher's white hair flying, his face kind-hearted. His vital energy is continuously falling—

Jiedan Jufa!

Jiedan Real Pill!

Jiedan Void Core!

Quickly falling to the Core Formation Stage, only at the Spirit Void Level, and still continuing to fall.

Six-winged feels an indescribable bitter pain in his heart, as if it was being physical torn.

"Teacher."

Six-winged watches his teacher's vital energy gradually weaken until it's almost imperceptible. Looking at his teacher's smiling face, he reaches out to grasp the edge of his teacher's robe.

However.

As his hand stretches out.

It passes through emptiness, now only an illusion.

The white-haired and bearded figure silently dissipates into the world, leaving behind only the last trace of a kind smile, an Iron Voucher and a Compass on the ground.

Nothing else.

"Teacher."

Six-winged's eyes are sour, he retracts his hand, wiping his face. Staring blankly at the wet marks on his hand. Looking down again, he sees crystalline water droplets rushing out from his eyes, falling through the air.

Six-winged is at a loss.

In the vast starry sky.

A meteorite aimlessly drifts, upon it, a brocade-clad young man kneeling, his brows furrowed with ferocity, his eyes filled with rivers of sorrow, tears rolling down one after another.

Contradiction.

Melancholy.

Finally disappeared into the endless darkness.

...

Xuanyuan Water Realm.

Feiyun Island.

Lu Qingfeng stepped out of his cave abode, overlooking the vibrant expanse of the water realm, as the loneliness of the starry sky and the despair of cultivation ending with mortal life slowly faded away.

"Phew!"

Exhaled deeply.

The oppression of the starry sky, despite frequent disconnections and adjustments, and having countless stars at one's disposal, still posed a great test to the mind and spirit.

At this moment, life ends.

In the next life, he would not choose the lost way of the Primordial Spirit in the obscure starry realms of the Black Star Realm.

"The vastness of the starry sky, Gang Sha Land is indeed hard to find. Even if one can deduce the location, it is difficult to reach quickly."

"Two thousand years in the Gathering Law Realm."

"Most of the time wasted on the journey."

Lu Qingfeng looked up at the white clouds, watched the birds fly overhead. He looked down at the flowing water, watching fish swim.

Diluting the influence of the game.

Three thousand years passed too quickly.

In a trance.

It seemed like Lu Qingfeng had just entered the First Secret Realm of the Dharma Transmission Hall.

Looking back.

The longest life in the game had ended, bidding farewell to the Black Star Realm.

In reality.

In a blink.

Thirty years have passed.

...

"Black Star Realm."

Lu Qingfeng composed his thoughts, thinking of the six disciples on the Fengyue Star of the Black Star Realm, wondering if they found the path of the Primordial Spirit and broke free from constraints. Regrettably, his exploration of the starry cosmos yielded nothing despite over two thousand years.

There were also the Six-winged.

Drifting alone in the cosmic starry sky. Even though a Primordial Mutant has a long lifespan, it's hard to say whether it can find the way forward.

"Hoping for a day of reunion in the future."

Lu Qingfeng shook his head.

A life has passed.

One realm never to return.

More thoughts are useless.

Standing outside his cave abode, a streak of spirit light flew from within, landing near Lu Qingfeng's ear.

"Master."

Lu Qingfeng took a step, traveling from Feiyun Island to the Fiery Sun Peak.

...

"Greetings to Shaozun."

"Greetings to Lu Shaozun."

"Congratulations on Shaozun's emergence from seclusion."

Along the way.

Whether it was the Combined Pill Hall or other cultivators from the Xuanyuan Sect, they all greeted Lu Qingfeng with respect.

Lu Qingfeng responded with a smile.

Then he headed straight to Fiery Sun Peak.

"It's rare to see Shaozun outside Feiyun Island; today is indeed a lucky coincidence."

"Yes. Who doesn't know that our Combined Pill Hall's Shaozun is devoted to the alchemy path, usually secluded on Feiyun Island, and might not appear even once in a year or two. Only those truly devoted to the path and thus diligent can achieve such accomplishments as a Fourth-rank Alchemist at such a young age!"

"Four years ago, the head dispatched him as the sole candidate for the next Hall Master of the Combined Pill Hall. Lately, I heard that the head intends to transfer significant authority and formally retreat."

"That soon?"

"After all, the head is elderly, and besides Shaozun's relatively junior experience, whether it's alchemy accomplishment or disciple training skills, he is the undeniable choice for the next Hall Master. The head's eagerness to pass on the position is probably also to help Shaozun fully take control of the Combined Pill Hall before his time arrives."

"Shaozun, in just a few decades, has managed Feiyun Island from nothing to far surpassing the Combined Pill Hall from decades ago. Taking control of the Combined Pill Hall, could there still be someone obstructing it?"

"You never know. After all, Shaozun is only a Fourth-rank Alchemist."

After Lu Qingfeng disappeared, the cultivators along the way started whispering in small groups.

In recent years.

Lu Qingfeng has doubled his stature among the disciples of the Xuanyuan Sect, absolutely a prominent figure. Even those true disciples who have made achievements through external combat, like Yan Pingshu of the Law Enforcement Hall who has already advanced to the Fusion Realm, and Zhou Su of Jade Pillar Peak, who transferred from the Xuan Yin Cave to Fiery Sun Valley for twenty-four years and then eradicated his Heart Demon and achieved Heart Movement Perfection.

They are all the pride of their time, well-known.

Yet none compare to the fame of the Combined Pill Hall's Shaozun, Lu Qingfeng.

A Fourth-rank Alchemist at the Foundation Establishment Stage, where else in the world could one find such?

Four years ago.

From Foundation Establishment to advancing to the Spirit Void, the venerable master Gu Bu Yan, too impatient, appointed him as the Shaozun of the Combined Pill Hall, legitimizing his position.

Becoming the only Shaozun of the Xuanyuan Sect.

Among the halls and main peaks.

There was none among his peers who could stand alongside Lu Shaozun.

How prominent his reputation was!

Lu Qingfeng could not hear the whispered conversations of the disciples along the way; he rode the Qingfeng and went straight to Fiery Sun Peak.

"Greetings to my master."

Inside the Combined Pill Hall, Lu Qingfeng bowed deeply to the white-haired old man in front of him.

"Rise."

Gu Bu Yan chuckled.

Compared to thirty years ago, Gu Bu Yan indeed appeared older, his eyes cloudier.

Lu Qingfeng sensed something, realizing that his master's days were perhaps not many.

He thought to himself.

Gu Bu Yan looked at his beloved disciple, his face always smiling. His life, decades ago, was a mess—

Failed in alchemy, stuck at Fifth-Order.

Failed in cultivation, stopped at the Void Core.

Failed in management, one hall declined.

Fortunately, in his later years, he felt accomplished, having received an extremely talented alchemist. Already a Fourth-rank Alchemist during Foundation Establishment, a rarity seen in the Xuanyuan, White Bone, and Heavenly Travel Three Realms, and if going back three thousand years, also less than the count on two hands.

Boundless future.

With such talent and diligence, achieving Fifth-Order was certain, and even Sixth-Order was within reach.

Having such an excellent disciple was indeed the most gratifying thing in Gu Bu Yan's life.
