This Daoist, Taishang, Bestows Upon You a Fortuitous Opportunity

"Had they really encountered a great calamity?"

Jade Emperor Peak gradually settled down. Li Xiaoman pressed a hand to her violently pounding heart and gasped heavily.

The terrifying ordeal she had just experienced left Li Xiaoman shaken. Remembering Li Yu's words, she secretly felt fortunate.

"Good thing we escaped this disaster. Just who was that young man? He said his name was Taishang? Taishang... that title..."

Li Xiaoman shook her head and slowly pushed herself to her feet.

"Is anyone hurt?"

"I'm fine! Just a few scrapes!"

"It's good that everyone's all right. Now that things have calmed down, let's get out of here quickly!"

"Leave?"

Zhou Yi's heart tightened. Thinking of Li Yu's words about the "Emperor's Path" and "Descendant of the Great Emperor," he began making connections. Could the descent of the Nine Dragons have something to do with him?

Of course, he was definitely overthinking it.

Yet Zhou Yi had already developed a degree of anticipation toward those nine dragons that had fallen from the sky. He was unwilling to leave so easily.

He looked up toward where the Nine Dragons had fallen, then froze and cried out, "Look! That is..."

At Zhou Yi's cry, everyone looked over together.

"Ah..."

"Th-This... am I seeing things?"

"Could it be an immortal?"

Everyone looked toward the place where the Nine Dragons had fallen and immediately burst into cries of alarm.

Brilliant rosy light soared into the sky from where the Nine Dragons had fallen.

A young man in azure robes floated amid the boundless radiance, his entire body gleaming with flowing light, like a Deity descending to the mortal world.

"It's him?"

Li Xiaoman's eyes widened in shock. "That person really isn't mortal? Taishang... Taishang... could he truly be..."

"Ye Fan, we've met this person before."

"It's him? Could this man really be an immortal?"

Ye Fan stared at the figure amid the radiance, his face full of disbelief.

"He must be an immortal! Didn't he say I was a Descendant of the Great Emperor?"

Zhou Yi clenched his fists, his heart blazing hot.

"Haha. Just as I expected!"

Li Yu floated above the Bronze Colossal Coffin. Watching the system continuously extract the energy of the Lesser Immortal Realm within the coffin, he was overjoyed.

"Extract the energy of the Lesser Immortal Realm within the coffin. Activate resource scan."

"Resource scan activated. Scanning begins!"

Within the boundless radiance, an invisible ripple spread out, instantly sweeping across Earth, the Solar System, the Milky Way...

The invisible ripple swept across the entire Universe.

At that moment, countless great experts throughout the world suddenly felt a jolt of dread, as though something terrifying had happened. Yet when they carefully calculated, they found no clues at all.

"Resource scan complete!"

"Resource entry complete!"

"So fast?"

Li Yu was slightly surprised and hurriedly opened the system to inspect it.

"True Dragon Undying Elixir..."

"Beginless Sutra..."

"Mirror of Emptiness..."

"Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo..."

Seeing the dazzling array of Mysterious Skill Secret Methods in the Exchange System, the many different Bloodline Constitutions, and all manner of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures glittering with spiritual light, Li Yu's mouth stretched into a grin.

"Immortal!"

"Immortal!"

A wave of cries interrupted Li Yu's excitement. Seeing that the system was still continuously extracting energy from the Lesser Immortal Realm within the Bronze Coffin, Li Yu suddenly came to his senses.

"Stop! Stop absorbing energy!"

Li Yu's expression grew awkward, and sweat began to bead on his back. "The Lesser Immortal Realm inside the Bronze Coffin is the key to repairing the Immortal Realm. If I swallow the Lesser Immortal Realm, I'm absolutely dead."

Fortunately, the system immediately stopped extracting energy. The boundless radiance faded away, and Li Yu let out a sigh of relief.

Looking up at Zhou Yi and the others, who were still staring blankly ahead, Li Yu smiled faintly. An idea came to him, and he opened the system to exchange for a flight skill.

A streak of rosy light flowed.

Li Yu vanished from atop the Bronze Coffin in an instant and appeared before Zhou Yi and the others, startling them into stumbling backward.

"An... an immortal?"

Li Xiaoman stared at Li Yu, who had suddenly flown over, her eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

"Are you truly an immortal? That thing... did you summon it?"

Zhou Yi's heart burned with excitement. This person really was an immortal, and he had even said Zhou Yi was a Descendant of the Great Emperor. Would he take Zhou Yi as a disciple? Would he give him an immortal pill?

"The Nine Dragons have fallen to earth, and the Emperor's Path has opened. All of you are Fated Ones!"

Li Yu stood with his hands behind his back and smiled as he nodded to the crowd. "Since we are fated, I shall give you a meeting gift!"

Li Yu used a bit of energy to exchange for some spiritual energy. With a light wave of his hand, spiritual light fell like rain, drifting into everyone's bodies.

"Wow! That feels so good!"

"Ah! Look, the scrapes I got just now have healed!"

"My cervical spine doesn't hurt anymore either!"

"Immortal arts! He really is an immortal!"

"Thank you, Great Immortal! Thank you, Great Immortal!"

Everyone was both shocked and delighted. Their gazes toward Li Yu were fervent and excited.

"All of you are Fated Ones. This is merely a meeting gift."

Li Yu smiled and nodded. Sweeping his gaze over the crowd, he said, "I have a great fortuitous opportunity in my hands. I wonder whether any of you are interested?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"Of course we are! We absolutely are!"

"An immortal strokes my crown, binds my hair, and grants me longevity! Great Immortal, please bestow this opportunity upon us!"

Hearing Li Yu's words, everyone's hearts burned with eagerness, and they all began asking for the fortuitous opportunity.

"May I ask, Great Immortal, what kind of fortuitous opportunity is it exactly?"

Zhou Yi stepped forward, looking as if he was determined to obtain it.

"Great Immortal, please enlighten us!"

A young man named Liu Yunzhi likewise stepped forward. Faintly, he seemed to have developed some hostility toward Zhou Yi.

"Hehe! A fortuitous opportunity?"

Li Yu smiled, bent down to pick up a small piece of gravel from the ground, then held it in his palm before everyone. "This is what a fortuitous opportunity is."

"Uh..."

Liu Yunzhi's expression changed slightly, and anger rose in his heart. It's clearly just a stone picked up from the ground. What kind of opportunity is this? Is he playing with me?

"Could it be... that the Great Immortal is testing us?"

"Could it be Turn Stone into Gold? Is that stone actually gold?"

"Tch! Even if it were gold, such a tiny stone wouldn't be worth much."

Seeing the stone in Li Yu's hand, everyone began talking at once.

"Great Immortal, could you... give that stone to me?"

Zhou Yi's heart pounded wildly.

"I can't give it to you for nothing."

Li Yu shook his head at Zhou Yi. "If you want this stone, you must pay a price!"

"A price?"

Zhou Yi's heart jolted, and he became somewhat uneasy.

"Ah? We have to pay a price?"

Hearing Li Yu's words, the others who had also been somewhat interested began to hesitate. Everyone present was an adult, with complicated thoughts and many concerns. They did not entirely trust Li Yu's so-called fortuitous opportunity.

"Great Immortal, what price must I pay?"

After turning the matter over in his mind for a while, Zhou Yi seemed to reach a decision and looked up at Li Yu.

"You've decided?"

Li Yu looked at Zhou Yi with a faintly amused smile.

"I've decided!"

Zhou Yi nodded firmly.

"Hahahaha!"

Li Yu laughed loudly. "Good! What a temperament! What decisiveness! You must give something up to gain something! Young man, I think highly of you!"

Li Yu tossed the stone in his hand to Zhou Yi. "When you arrive at Da Lei Yin Temple, remember to offer the Bodhi Tree as a sacrifice to me!"

With that, a streak of rosy light rose, and Li Yu drifted away.

"May I ask the Great Immortal's name?"

Zhou Yi shouted into the distance.

"Pills are refined indoors with wuji; within the furnace lies medicine that seizes the innate. Born a guest of the Eight Sceneries Palace, I no longer recall how many ten thousand years have passed in the mortal world!"

A long song drifted faintly from within the rosy light. In the blink of an eye, he vanished without a trace.

"He truly is an extraordinary master!"

Zhou Yi sighed, his face filled with yearning.

Please recommend this! Everyone, please support it!

I'll give away systems later! Whatever system you want, I'll make one for you!
