Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 349 - 329: 200 Years Later, My Disciple Lu Qingfeng Shall Be Famous Throughout the Three Realms!

On their journey south, past Chao Tian Pool and entering the domain of Illusion Wave Sea, Zhou Su and Xiang Chao finally breathed a sigh of relief. This area was under the protection of the Fiery Fire Wanderer, where fighting among the Xuanyuan Sect, White Bone, and Heavenly Travel was strictly prohibited. Entering the Illusion Wave Sea meant temporary safety.

The two switched off their tunneling light and descended upon an inconspicuous deserted island.

As soon as they landed, Zhou Su bowed deeply, her body bent to the ground. "Thank you, Second Senior Brother, for risking your life to rescue me."

Seeing this, Xiang Chao quickly helped Zhou Su up, managing a wry smile. "Junior Sister, I am helpless. Despite my best efforts, it was ultimately thanks to the senior from Shuiyun that we were saved. In fact, by willingly becoming a disciple of that senior, you potentially saved my life."

Zhou Su got up smoothly, saw Xiang Chao this way, and decided not to elaborate, only silently acknowledging the bond between them. Her gaze shifted as she remembered that seemingly Demon Dao Giant-like casual mentor.

"I wonder what the origin of Shuiyun senior is. He seems to be related to the Demon Dao, yet I've never heard his name among the Three Realms," Xiang Chao pondered, then added curiously, "The 'Shuiyun Great Method' and 'Water Dragon Technique' taught by him sound extraordinary. Even Junior Sister was impressed, they must be remarkable."

Water Dragon Technique.

It must have been the method used by Shuiyun Daoist to kill the four demon cultivators earlier. Four water dragons roared through the void, their pressure overwhelming heaven and earth, undoubtedly a super-level technique surpassing anything from Angry Wave Mountain.

"Water Dragon Technique."

"Shuiyun Great Method."

Zhou Su fell silent for a moment.

"There are countless masters in the Three Mountains and Nine Waters; it's natural for a wandering senior to notice a talented junior sister like you." freёnovelkiss.com

Xiang Chao, seeing Zhou Su quiet, thought she was forced into discipleship and felt stifled, forcing a laugh. "I think this Shuiyun senior is carefree and follows his heart. His cultivation is certainly strong. Having Junior Sister as his disciple could even be a good thing for our Xuanyuan Sect. Besides, under those circumstances, Junior Sister—"

"'Water Dragon Technique' is a super-level technique."

"'Shuiyun Great Method' is a Side Door Level Cultivation Technique."

Zhou Su's eyes held a complex expression as she spoke slowly.

"Junior Sister—"

Xiang Chao continued, but stopped abruptly, his eyes fixated on Zhou Su, "Junior Sister?!"

...

Within the vast Xuanyuan Sect, the strongest techniques were just high-level techniques deduced from the First Secret Realm.

In pursuit of the super-level technique 'Xuanyuan Spirit-Slaying Handprint', from the sect's foundation, generation after generation of talented individuals toiled in contemplation, yet only managed to discern several middle and low-level techniques.

This shows how precious and rare super-level techniques are.

And so it is with Side Door Level Cultivation Techniques.

The core tenet of Xuanyuan Sect, the 'Xuanyuan Heart Sutra', is only at the Refined Level, with no further path once reaching the Golden Core Stage. Across the Three Realms, even the highest tenets in White Bone Demon Sect and Heavenly Travel are just at the Refined Level.

Due to these limitations, ascending to Primordial Spirit is arduous, with hardly a case seen in thousands of years.

Yet, the 'Shuiyun Great Method' is a Side Door Level Cultivation Technique that directly points to Mahayana. Its significance to Xuanyuan Sect is self-evident.

"The Xuanyuan Sect has been good to me, my master has treated me immensely well."

"The 'Shuiyun Great Method' and 'Water Dragon Technique' can be seen as some form of repayment."

Outside Feiling River, Lu Qingfeng once again transformed into Changqing Daoist, easily bypassing the array and entering the depths underground to await. Reflecting on the recent encounter, he couldn't help but smile.

With the protection from ancient Gu Bu Yan, his cultivation in reality progresses smoothly due to Xuanyuan Sect.

Lu Qingfeng is not a person to forget kindness.

Now with a heart to repay, he finally found an opportunity today.

With countless cultivation and magic techniques at his disposal, Lu Qingfeng just lacked an appropriate channel to gift to Xuanyuan Sect, where his identity as Xuanyuan Sect's Combined Pill Hall Master must not be entangled.

Thus,

passing it through Zhou Su, the beloved disciple of Jade Pillar Peak, could not be more fitting. Moreover, taking Zhou Su as a disciple, might bring unforeseen benefits in the future.

This was him preparing in advance.

As for the origins of the 'Shuiyun Great Method,' Lu Qingfeng remembered, it was acquired from an Immortal Sect somewhere in the Changqing Realm.

He had obtained too many techniques there.

Casually revealed, any could drive the Immortals of the Three Mountains and Nine Waters mad.

The 'Shuiyun Great Method' was just one of them.

...

Xuanyuan Water Realm.

Xuanyuan Peak.

In the grand hall, the heads of the various peaks and halls, who had not gone out, were all present.

Additionally, there were Qian Lai and Shi Wan, the two Supreme Elders, and ancient Gu Bu Yan.

Zhou Su and Xiang Chao stood respectfully in the lower part of the hall.

The Sect Leader Master Wu Jie spoke first, "Today, I have called you all here for three matters: one good, one bad, and one uncertain whether good or bad. Which would you like to hear first?"

"Don't beat around the bush, start with the bad," Qian Lai, ever impatient, couldn't stand the suspense.

"Yes, Grand Ancestor," Master Wu Jie didn't mind, and proclaimed loudly, "The bad news is that to the east, Heavenly Travel's Pan Mountain King Jiupan Po has refined the Immortal Spirit Pearl and advanced to the Gathering Law Realm."

As soon as these words were spoken,

aside from Luo Zhen Hall Master Kou Xuan and Jiying Hall Master Civil Zhong, who already knew, everyone's faces changed.

Half a year ago,

when the Yuu Mountain Immortal Mansion was destroyed and magic artifacts scattered. During the scramble, Immortal Shells emerged, and the Immortal Spirit Pearl was taken by Heavenly Travel.

Unexpectedly, in just half a year, Jiupan Po had already refined it and successfully advanced.

"Pan Mountain King was already a formidable force, having reached the Gathering Law Realm as a Demon King. With Jiupan Po's breakthrough, Heavenly Travel will grow bold, likely restless for more power!"

Law Enforcement Hall Master Zhuo Jun furrowed his brows deeply, his expression somber.

A Demon King at the Gathering Law Realm would significantly enhance the pressure on the Xuanyuan Sect.

"The chance of breaking through with the aid of the Immortal Spirit Pearl isn't great. Heavenly Travel Mountain and Jiupan Po are indeed lucky!"

"At the moment, Heavenly Travel Mountain is still in the observing phase, wavering between our sect and the White Bone Demon Sect, and hasn't easily taken a side. But, the incompatibility between humans and demons places our Xuanyuan Sect in a greatly unfavorable situation," declared Kuang Tianqi, the Sect Leader of Mountain Patrol Hall.

The thoughts of those present didn't vary much from these two.

Yet, Master Wu Jie, unfazed, chuckled instead, "What Heavenly Travel Mountain does is beyond our control; we can only strengthen our vigilance. However, there's good news from the north."

Master Wu Jie didn't delve deeper into the affairs of Heavenly Travel Mountain, nor did he keep them in suspense, and turned to Junior Brother Kou, "Please, Junior Brother Kou, elaborate."

The north?

Good news?

Everyone looked towards Kou Xuan.

With a nod and a smile, Kou Xuan spoke, "News from the north - over the past two months, Changqing Daoist has been striking like a phantom. In the White Bone Realm, he has successively slain seven True Men of the Demon Sect, forcing the remaining True Men to cower in Yunyan Mountain, daring not to emerge."

Kou Xuan spoke eloquently.

From two months ago, starting with the slaying of the Evil Heart True Man of the White Bone Demon Sect at Feiling River by Changqing Daoist, to just a few days ago, he killed the seventh True Man of the Demon Sect; the tale was riveting and filled with suspense.

"Seven True Men slain in succession?"

"So fierce is Changqing Daoist?!"

"This power, even the one from Yellow Robe Mountain back then might not have been able to fight him, actually making enemies with the White Bone Demon Sect? Ha ha! Wonderful indeed!"

As Kou Xuan's words fell, the great hall erupted in noise.

The news was too shocking.

Even more so than Jiupan Po advancing to the Gathering Law Realm.

The Core Formation Stage is divided into four realms.

Even the weakest, the Void Core Realm, holds True Men whose power is extraordinary and whose ability to preserve their life is strongly developed. Even if they cannot defy a Gathering Law Realm or a Golden Core Realm True Person, they hold a seventy percent assurance if they choose to flee.

Thus.

Even for the three sects of Xuanyuan, White Bone, and Heavenly Travel, killing a Void Core True Man is not guaranteed by merely deploying a Gathering Law Realm powerhouse; it requires five or six or even more Core Formation True Men to surround, block, and entangle for a possible kill.

That's one reason why the status of Core Formation True Men is exalted.

Like when Five Fire True Man was defeated by Han Ji; had he solely focused on escaping, even if Han Ji and No-Life Hall Master both attacked, they would not dream of harming his life. Only because he was worried about the Fire Spirit Shell Field and his disciples was he tied down and fell into danger.

But he endured for a long while.

In the three realms.

Counting back three to five thousand years, Core Formation True Men slain could be counted on one hand.

Yet this Changqing Daoist alone has slain seven consecutively?!

"Not only that!"

"Half a year ago when the main force of the White Bone Demon Sect was in Black Death Swamp, this Changqing Daoist had already made a move, slaughtering six Void Core True Men of the White Bone Demon Sect. Adding these seven, the White Bone Demon Sect has lost nearly half of its Void Core True Men, no wonder they are cowering in Yunyan Mountain."

The excited voice of Leng Qianjue, the Sect Leader of Spirit Mechanism Hall, also reflected the thrilling downfall encountered by the White Bone Demon Sect.

Thirteen Void Core True Men!

To think, within the entire Xuanyuan Sect, aside from the various hall and peak masters, there are only nineteen Void Core True Men in total. The White Bone Demon Sect, practicing Demon Techniques, progressed quickly, but according to intelligence controlled by Xuanyuan Sect, they had twenty-two.

To lose thirteen Void Core True Men all at once is truly devastating.

What's more, the White Bone Demon Sect is caught in a dilemma, hard to break through!

"Changqing Daoist employs an elusive Escape Skill, and even when Huan You True Man led two Heavenly Kings and four protectors in ambush, Changqing Daoist easily escaped. Changqing Daoist is equipped with a '[Purple] Gold Bowl' magic artifact, ensnaring Void Core True Men effortlessly. Swiftly following, thunder strikes, and within moments, the Void Core True Men are blasted into dust."

"Indeed troublesome."

Kou Xuan grinned, clearly in high spirits.

As the prowess of Changqing Daoist in slaughtering the Demon Sect's Void Core True Men in the White Bone Realm continued to reveal itself.

During Magical Duels.

It would often begin by deploying the [Purple] Gold Bowl to trap opponents, then using a potent Thunder Skill, calling the Thunder Prison from the heavens to annihilate the foe. If the opponent possessed a notable magic artifact, Changqing Daoist would also utilize the Wind and Fire Dual Beads to transform into the Wind and Fire Big Mill.

The trio of techniques complementing each other, only True Men who had crafted their True Bodies — the Solid Pill True Men — could endure slightly longer.

But if unaided, sooner or later, they'd be refined on the spot.

Truly ferocious.

"One wonders where the White Bone Demon Sect provoked such a formidable foe, genuinely heartening!" Even Qian Lai, upon hearing this, couldn't help but clap his hands in approval, his face beaming with joy.

"The White Bone Demon Sect has indeed bit off more than they could chew, currently with their True Men holed up in Yunyan Mountain, not venturing out. That Changqing Daoist is still out there, slaying the Spirit Void Practitioners of the Demon Sect relentlessly, mercilessly, likely not stopping until death."

As Kou Xuan concluded.

"The White Bone Demon Sect having been continuously slain thirteen True Men, has greatly weakened. Now being so suppressed, forcing them to hole up in Yunyan Mountain, daring not to emerge, we just need to ascertain Changqing Daoist's stance, then we can seize the opportunity to plunder the White Bone Realm."

Upon hearing this, another Supreme Elder, Shi Wan, his withered face showed anticipation.

Immediately followed by wondering aloud, "In recent decades, among the Three Realms, quite a few top figures have emerged. The Fiery Fire Wanderer from Illusion Wave Sea, the Yellow Robed Old Monster from the past at Yellow Robe Mountain, and now this Changqing Daoist who single-handedly battles the White Bone Demon Sect; truly overwhelming."

Indeed so.

Such figures, one might not appear even once in two or three thousand years, yet in recent three to four decades, they have surfaced in groups, each with mysterious origins and vast Divine Skills.

"Vast is the Three Realms, perhaps unknown still."

"And wait two hundred years, my disciple Lu Qingfeng, shall also be amongst them, renowned throughout the realms!" Gu Bu Yan stated calmly.

The others in the hall glanced sideways, thinking of the young Sect Leader in Feiyun Island who had been in seclusion all-year-round, finding themselves at a loss for words.

Indeed.

As both belong to the Xuanyuan Sect, it would indeed be a good thing if Lu Qingfeng could dominate.

But with Gu Bu Yan stating it like—

"Lu Zhangzun is indeed extraordinarily talented."

Zhou Huayu coughed softly to bridge the conversation, then quickly changed the topic, "Regarding the White Bone Realm, two disciples from my Jade Pillar Peak have a crucial matter to report."
