In recent decades, the Heaven-Facing Sect and the Heaven Mending Saint Realm have occasionally used the teleportation array to transmit disciples between the two sects.

Recently, Taiqi Peak also returned from the Central Ancestral Realm to Lingxi State and is temporarily stationed here.

To better manage the Heaven-Facing Sect, Taiqi Peak has already passed on the position of Sect Leader to the Elder of the Ministry of Affairs, He Qiyuan.

This not only facilitates the operation and development of the Heaven-Facing Sect but also allows Taiqi Peak to frequently travel to the Central Ancestral Realm.

In fact, although He Qiyuan has become the Sect Leader, important matters and key decisions within the Heaven-Facing Sect are still decided by Taiqi Peak.

Taiqi Peak still holds the power of the Sect and is highly respected in the Heaven-Facing Sect. The reason for such frequent travels to the Central Ancestral Realm is indeed the intention of several high-ranking elders, planning for the future expansion of the Heaven-Facing Sect.

After all, with the Cyan Mountain Sect’s immense presence here in Lingxi State, the future development potential of the Heaven-Facing Sect is limited; it cannot encroach on the interest and territory of the Cyan Mountain Sect.

Therefore, if the Heaven-Facing Sect wants to develop further and go further in the future, it must set its sights beyond Lingxi State, aiming at the more prosperous and immortal Central Ancestral Realm.

As soon as Lu Ping appeared in the teleportation array, he caught the attention of several Heaven-Facing Sect disciples nearby.

They were stationed here, warmly receiving cultivators teleported from the Heaven Mending Saint Realm. When they saw Lu Ping, some recognized Elder Lu.

"It’s Elder Lu."

"Greetings, Elder Lu."

The two Heaven-Facing Sect disciples immediately and respectfully saluted, deeply admiring this legendary cultivator without the slightest negligence.

Lu Ping nodded slightly in response.

Not far away, two Heaven-Facing Sect elders immediately sensed Lu Ping’s arrival and came to greet him.

Currently, within various major forces in Lingxi State, who wasn’t aware that over a decade ago, Lu Ping intended to seclude himself to strive for the Divinity Transformation Stage?

Now, after more than ten years had passed, seeing Lu Ping appear again, everyone couldn’t help but speculate whether Lu Ping had already reached the Divinity Transformation Stage.

The two Heaven-Facing Sect elders warmly greeted him and after exchanging a few pleasantries, Lu Ping didn’t intend to stay long at the Heaven-Facing Sect. After a brief exchange, he transformed into a long rainbow and vanished into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Upon returning to the Cyan Mountain Sect, Lu Ping landed directly on Cyan Lotus Mountain.

Having been away for over a decade, significant changes had taken place here, with many new buildings on Cyan Lotus Mountain, and disciples occasionally seen flying with artifacts, traversing various areas.

In the past six or seven years, the surrounding peaks of Cyan Lotus Mountain have gradually evolved into sect territory, nurtured into Tier Two Spiritual Veins by Lu Yuanshan.

In total, there are three Spirit Veins situated around Cyan Lotus Mountain, and when Lu Ping saw these newly nurtured Spirit Veins, he wasn’t particularly surprised.

As the Cyan Mountain Sect continued growing, it was clear that Cyan Lotus Mountain alone was insufficient to accommodate too many cultivators. With limited territory, expansion of the sect was naturally necessary.

Currently, the Cyan Mountain Sect has grown considerably, adding over thirty Foundation Establishment Cultivators and six Crystallization Cultivators in the past decade.

Two additional Golden Core Cultivators have also appeared, namely Zhang Nianchuan and Song Minghui.

Lu Ping wasn’t immediately aware of the increase in the number and strength of sect disciples; what he could see now was the conspicuous nature of sect buildings and Spirit Veins. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

To protect the disciples’ privacy, Lu Ping didn’t use his Divine Sense to probe the sect’s situations or the cultivation progress of individual disciples.

"Yuanshan, Changfeng, Zhiwei, and Zhilu."

Lu Ping sent out a transmission, summoning the three children and his wife, while he himself flew directly to the Sect Hall.

Lu Yuanshan was busy with sect affairs in the Sect Hall. When Lu Ping arrived at the Cyan Mountain Sect, a disciple came to deliver the message. Hearing his father’s call, he immediately showed a delighted expression.

"Father!"

At the same time, Lu Zhiwei and Lu Changfeng also happily called out "Papa" and "Dad."

Li Zhilu, who was cultivating in seclusion, upon hearing Lu Ping’s communication, showed a tender expression and responded with joy in her eyes: "Lu Ping."

"Come to the Sect Hall."

Lu Ping responded briefly.

Soon after, they gathered in the Sect Hall, and Liu Qiumei, upon hearing the news, promptly ended her secluded cultivation and arrived at the Sect Hall temporarily.

Accompanying her were Lu Nianmei and Lu Zhiyun.

After not seeing each other for over a decade, they had a lot to talk about, and Lu Ping, in particular, missed his offspring, especially his grandchildren, whom he had long wanted to meet.

They all enjoyed themselves, talking and laughing together.

Over a decade had passed, and the granddaughter Lu Nianmei had changed the most, transforming from a crying little baby into a lively and clever little girl, her big eyes bright and seemingly full of speech.

Seeing Lu Ping, Lu Nianmei was still somewhat unfamiliar and did not recognize him but felt a strong sense of familiarity.

After learning that this was her grandfather, Lu Nianmei obediently called him grandfather, her face displaying a smile like peach blossoms.

In contrast, Lu Zhiyun, being a boy, seemed bold and lively by nature.

When greeting Lu Ping, he jumped up and down, repeatedly calling out, and looked at Lu Ping with curiosity and admiration in his eyes.

"Grandfather, Dad and the others have said that you went to practice far away, and the brothers and sisters in the sect often mentioned you, saying how amazing you are, that you can fight several hundred, thousand, or even ten thousand people at a time. Is that really true, grandfather?"

Lu Zhiyun, seven this year, had already grown to about one meter forty-five and bore a striking resemblance to Lu Ping, much like Lu Yuanshan, as if cast from the same mold.

"Brother, grandfather is so amazing, it must all be true. Not only that, but grandfather is even more powerful than they say!"

Lu Nianmei said with pride, slightly lifting her little head and playfully winking at her brother Lu Zhiyun.

"Brother, grandfather is truly remarkable. We must all learn from grandfather and diligently cultivate."

"I know, sister. I will work hard."

The whole family was happy and the atmosphere was pleasant.

Lu Ping inquired about the cultivation progress of Lu Yuanshan and the others over the past decade. Among them, Lu Zhiwei showed the greatest improvement, having already become a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Upon inquiry, Lu Ping learned that Zhiwei had broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage six years ago, successfully forming her Nascent Soul in the Void Heaven Secret Realm within the Taiyi Bead.

Lu Ping had anticipated his youngest daughter’s ability to reach the Nascent Soul Stage, given Zhiwei’s excellent aptitude, supported by the Transparent Sword Body, her dedication to cultivation, and her sincere pursuit of the Dao.

The resources within the Cyan Mountain Sect were capable of cultivating Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, and the Nine Sword Peaks within the Taiyi Bead were the best sacred land for Nascent Soul Formation.

In addition to Lu Zhiwei, Lu Yuanshan had also made significant progress. As the Sect Leader of the Cyan Mountain Sect, Yuanshan had advanced to the Fifth Layer of the Nascent Soul Stage, progressing rapidly.
