Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 724 - 652: Lifted by Rosy Clouds, Ascension to The Three Mountains and Nine Waters Concluded! _3
Not until the Xuan Light disappeared did he rise to his feet.
After the departure of Dutian Ancestor, the prohibition over Black Cloud Mountain was lifted inside and out, the dark fog around Black Cloud Island dispersed, and clarity and brightness immediately filled the world.
"Ancestor's compassion."
"Noble and incorruptible."
"Back during the disaster caused by demons, we already knew the Ancestor had a kind heart. It's lamentable that Green Wood Valley acted recklessly, monopolizing the authority of the Righteous Sect and even maligning the Ancestor as a Demon."
"How detestable!"
"Truly detestable!"
As the cultivators witnessed Dutian Ancestor's carefree demeanor of doing good without seeking recognition, they were instantly filled with deep admiration. Some even revived old grievances and denounced Green Wood Valley, seeking justice for the Dutian Ancestor.
"Tsk!"
Han Ling'er curled her lips and turned to Meng Ba: "Judging by the time, his avatar should have reached the Outer Domain Battlefield by now. Probably after witnessing the peril of demons, he started showing great kindness and imparted the Immortal Dao to these native cultivators."
Meng Ba, listening in, felt the same.
However,
For a newly ascended True Immortal to preach and manage to elevate four True Immortals, such Dao ability is shockingly impressive, possibly surpassing even that of Earth Immortal Ancestors.
"At the Primordial Spirit Realm, he was already unmatched, fearless before True Immortals."
"His Dao ability is naturally high."
"Some cultivate meticulously but lack patience with disciples. Some may not cultivate as well, yet excel in imparting the Dao and resolving doubts."
Han Ling'er was also surprised, but geniuses and renowned teachers were not unheard of in this world.
The commotion at Black Cloud Mountain was a bit much,
But barely acceptable.
She looked in the direction 'Dutian Daoist' had gone, and immediately told Lu Qingfeng: "I'll go first and wait for you in 'Han Ling City' outside the world."
"Thanks, Senior Sister."
Lu Qingfeng nodded in response.
"One family."
"No need for formalities."
Han Ling'er smiled, her form dissolving into a beam of spirit light and vanishing.
Leaving Lu Qingfeng behind.
Lu Qingfeng, now a True Immortal, was repelled by the very heaven and earth, no longer able to suppress it.
With a sweep of his big sleeve, an auspicious cloud was laid out, lifting Lu Qingshan, Lu Qingyu, Xu Mi, Lu Changsheng, and Lu Jing.
The group of six ascended directly to the Nine Heavens.
In mid-air,
Lu Qingfeng bowed to Wu Jiu Zhenyi: "For all matters of the mortal world, including Jun Shan and Pei Qi, I entrust them to you, Brother Wu."
Chai Junshan and Pei Qi were the two direct disciples Lu Qingfeng took under his wing in the Heavenly Star Sect.
Brought to be taught by his side.
The original plan was to cultivate one or two Primordial Spirit Practitioners for Heavenly Star Sect.
Now ascending, naturally, he couldn't take them along.
And from this preaching,
Pei Qi, lacking a foundation, couldn't get through the fog outside Black Cloud Island. But with several years of guidance from Lu Qingfeng, devoted cultivation might eventually lead to the formation of a Primordial Spirit.
Chai Junshan had had significant gains.
After listening to the preaching, he had reached the peak of Golden Core. With good cultivation in the future, reaching the position of a Primordial Spirit was within reach.
This was not letting the disciple,
Nor the mortal Heavenly Star Sect, down.
"Brother, go ahead."
Wu Jiu smiled as he bowed, envy apparent in his eyes.
Hereafter one a immortal and the other a mortal, heaven and earth apart, utterly different.
On Black Cloud Mountain, Yue Miaoyin looked up at the receding radiant lights, momentarily at a loss, her heart empty, vast and endless.
The youth of yesteryears had become an immortal.
Thousand years of interactions, truly just a grand, illusory dream.
She wondered if she would also have her time of ascension.
Just thinking,
A voice suddenly came through her ears. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Yue Miaoyin snapped her head up, eyes focused, a smile forming on her lips but she shook her head, "I only wish that after Lu brother ascends, his road in immortality will be splendid, and Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu never forget their original intentions. If destiny allows, we'll meet again in the Spirit Domain."
"Ah!"
A sigh came from the sky, followed by two voices: "Sister Yue, we will wait for you in the Spirit Domain."
Yue Miaoyin nodded, "One day!"
Her eyes resolute.
She turned, pressed her sword, and vanished without a trace.
In the clouds above.
Lu Qingfeng sighed long, knowing Yue Miaoyin wouldn't agree, but in the end, he couldn't help calling out "Senior Sister Yue."
As he expected, he was refused.
"It's alright."
"Everyone has their own fate in cultivation; cultivating in the mortal realm doesn't mean one cannot achieve Primordial Spirit and ascend to the Spirit Domain."
Lu Qingfeng stopped pondering.
Looking southward, he waved a great hand, and a surge of sword light brought nine flying birds.
"Master!"
"Master!"
The Nine little transformed back to their true forms, fluttering excitedly on the shoulders of Qingfeng, Qingshan, and Qingyu, chirping vibrantly.
"Ha ha."
"Little Nine."
Lu Qingyu and Lu Jing giggled, the aunt telling her niece stories of their past encounters with Little Nine.
The sky was filled with radiant lights, drifting colorful clouds, and the sounds of celestial music.
Voices and figures gradually fading away.
Lu Qingfeng and his family, on a cloud of radiant light, ascended from the mortal realm.
...
Three Mountains and Nine Waters, comes to an end.
A new chapter, thus begins.
To be continued...
