"Master! Who was that?"
Red Sparrow scampered up to Chi Yu.
"That was Shangqing, a disciple This Seat recently accepted in Kunlun. He was transformed from one of Pangu's Primordial Spirits."
"Huh? Pangu's Primordial Spirit?"
Red Sparrow froze, lost in thought.
Chi Yu shook his head with a smile, then looked toward Feng Xuan and the other former Three Clans patriarchs.
"We pay respects to the Sect Master!"
"Mm. Rise. Not bad—you've improved greatly!"
He then took out several Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures and handed them to them.
They had been obtained from the Western Battlefield.
He no longer had much use for such items, but they could still help his disciples increase their strength.
As for the God Slaying Spear, the Twelve Grade World Destruction Black Lotus, and the other supreme treasures that had vanished before Hongjun that day, Chi Yu had swept them away with a wave of his hand.
There was no need to mention the Twelve Grade World Destruction Black Lotus. It was an item needed for the Creation Green Lotus to restore the Chaos Green Lotus, so he had to take it.
Once the Azure Lotus finished absorbing the black lotus, its grade would surely rise again. His own foundation would improve alongside it, though the increase was not particularly obvious for now.
"We thank the Sect Master for bestowing these treasures!"
The few who received the spiritual treasures were all tremendously excited.
These were Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures! The Sect Master simply gave them away.
"No matter. Go back and refine them properly."
"Cultivate diligently. In the near future, This Seat will lead you in conquering the Chaos Heavens. Do not slack off!"
"We shall obey the Sect Master's decree. We take our leave!"
"Go."
Having recovered from her shock, Red Sparrow watched Feng Xuan, Dragon Xuan, and Qilin Xuan leave and curled her lips.
"Master! You're really generous!"
Chi Yu snickered, shook his head, and gave her a hard smack on the nose!
"Have you been slacking in your cultivation lately? Your cultivation is still at Hunyuan Golden Immortal Late Stage."
"Master! Little Sparrow has actually been working very hard. Little Sparrow didn't sleep while listening to the Dao!"
"Enough, enough! Comprehend your Devouring Law and the Time Law This Seat taught you to completion as soon as possible. Break through to Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, and This Seat will give you an Innate Supreme Treasure then!"
Red Sparrow's eyes lit up!
"An Innate Supreme Treasure? Master, do you really mean it?"
Chi Yu nodded.
"Alright! Little Sparrow will enter seclusion and cultivate right now. I won't leave seclusion until I break through to Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal!"
With a whoosh, she vanished from before Chi Yu at top speed.
Chi Yu shook his head with a smile.
Glancing at Shangqing, who was still digesting his insights, he decided to visit Green Phoenix, whom he had not seen in a long time.
"Qing Wei!"
"Hehehe! What orders does my brother have?"
"Can't you stop smiling so lecherously?"
"Uh..."
"Alright, alright. Do you see that kid?"
Qing Wei looked in the direction Chi Yu pointed.
"I see him! He's quite handsome, but not as handsome as me."
"Uh..."
"Do you believe This Seat will punish you by making you guard the mountain gate?"
"Hehe, hehe! Brother, just say what you need!"
"His name is Shangqing. He is a new disciple of This Seat and has a strong interest in This Seat's formation path. He has been comprehending it for a long time and has yet to awaken. Stand beside him and protect him. Once he wakes, have him stay in your Azure Dust Hall."
"Huh?"
"Brother, this...?"
"What do you mean, 'this'?"
"Hmm?"
"Th-then, alright!"
"Fine. This Seat will brew a few jars of Moutai later and send them to you."
Qing Wei was delighted. Patting his chest, he said,
"Don't worry, brother! Leave it to your big brother."
He immediately went to stand guard beside Shangqing.
Chi Yu shook his head.
"This Qing Wei! Everything about him is good, except he acts like an old child."
Green Phoenix was bathing in her residence at the Disciple Hall.
Though her cultivation was now profound, she still could not shake her mortal obsession with cleanliness.
Suddenly, space trembled, and Green Phoenix was stunned!
Then Chi Yu appeared before Green Phoenix, his eyes wide open.
"Ah!"
A shriek rang out from the Disciple Hall.
"Cough, cough! Green Phoenix, with your level of cultivation, why are you still bathing?"
"You're still looking! Turn around already."
"Cough, cough! Oh, right, right!"
After Chi Yu turned around, he bent over as though he had become hunchbacked.
"Second Brother, can you try a little harder? Why do you keep raising your head to gaze at the bright moon at every turn?"
"Your big brother has already become a Hunyuan Taiji Golden Immortal. When will you finally come to your senses?"
Chi Yu was extremely embarrassed.
What? You want to be a desireless monk?
"Al-alright!"
Chi Yu turned around. Then—
"Pfft!"
"What are you wearing?"
"Thin gauze?"
Green Phoenix covered her mouth and smiled, pleased that her scheme had worked.
Her playful side was aroused.
She walked before Chi Yu and breathed a puff of fragrant air into his ear.
"Sect Master! Is Green Phoenix beautiful?"
Chi Yu was stunned!
"You little Green Phoenix! You've started teasing This Seat now."
Then the two began fooling around and tussling together.
Laughter and giggling came from Green Phoenix's residence in the Disciple Hall, leaving passing disciples dumbfounded.
"Th-this... Senior Sister Green Phoenix, what's going on?"
"Who knows?"
At dusk, Chi Yu sneaked back into Azure Dust Palace.
"Whew!"
"Good heavens! How could This Seat be like this? What a sin, what a sin!"
The night passed without incident!
The next day,
Chi Yu waved his hand and created several jars of Moutai, then prepared to head for Azure Dust Hall.
With a flash, he disappeared from Azure Dust Palace.
Azure Dust Hall.
"Brother! When are you coming over? Our flowers have all withered waiting for you!"
"That Shangqing kid, who knows when he'll finish comprehending? But my Moutai supply cannot run dry! I'm craving it terribly!"
Chi Yu had just arrived at Azure Dust Hall when he heard Qing Wei muttering to himself. He shook his head and smiled.
"Alright, old fool. Here, take it!"
Qing Wei turned around in surprise, then fixed his eyes tightly on the Moutai in Chi Yu's hand as though Chi Yu did not exist at all.
He snatched a jar as if robbing him, raised it to his mouth, and began guzzling.
"Good! Good! Good—"
"Ah! Fine wine!"
Chi Yu shook his head and smiled.
"Old fellow! You really are a drunkard!"
"From now on, stop calling yourself a Merit God and Demon. Just call yourself a Drunkard God and Demon. Drink yourself to death!"
"Hahaha! Brother, you don't understand! Ever since you left, your brother here has been without supplies for ages. I've been craving it terribly."
"Come, open a jar. Let's have a drink together. How about we don't go home until we're drunk today?"
"Forget it!"
"Drink by yourself! I'm going to check on Shangqing."
Without even giving Qing Wei a chance to finish, Chi Yu flashed away from Azure Dust Hall.
Qing Wei shook his head.
"You don't understand. There is a house of gold in wine, and there is Yan Ruyu in wine! Hahahaha! Splendid, splendid!"
The square outside the hall.
Chi Yu looked at Shangqing, who was still comprehending, and nodded.
Then he pointed a finger and transmitted part of his insights into Formation Dao Laws into Shangqing's mind.
Shangqing, who had encountered a bottleneck in his comprehension, was startled before becoming overjoyed.
Master must have seen that I encountered a bottleneck in my comprehension and decided to help me.
After pondering for a moment, he began using the formation insights Chi Yu had transmitted to reorganize his own understanding of the formation path.
Another thousand years passed in the blink of an eye!
That day, a tyrannical aura erupted from Shangqing's body.
Immediately afterward, the surrounding formation laws continuously surged into Shangqing's mind.
Ten breaths later,
Golden light burst from Shangqing's body.
Bang!
The golden light turned into golden threads and shot back into Shangqing's body, where they were gradually absorbed.
Immediately after!
His cultivation began to rise!
Daluo Golden Immortal Early Stage!
Daluo Golden Immortal Middle Stage!
Daluo Golden Immortal Late Stage!
It only stopped at Daluo Golden Immortal Late-Stage Peak, just half a step away from Daluo Golden Immortal Peak. Once he consolidated his cultivation properly, he would be able to break through as he wished.
After completing his breakthrough, Shangqing exhaled a breath of turbid air. He then opened his eyes and rose to his feet.
Seeing Chi Yu standing with his back to him in the distance, he quickly walked forward.
"This disciple thanks Master for your guidance!"
"Oh? Shangqing, have you finished breaking through?"
"Yes, Master!"
"Mm. Not bad!"
"Come. Follow This Seat to your Martial Uncle Qing Wei's place."
"Yes!"
Chi Yu then waved his hand, bringing Shangqing with him to Azure Dust Hall.
At that moment, Qing Wei was sprawled drunkenly across his seat.
Chi Yu shook his head. With a wave of his hand, the smell of alcohol vanished, and Qing Wei woke up.
"Hmm? It's you, brother! I wondered who it was, disturbing my sweet dream!"
"Enough! What kind of appearance is this? If you do this again, This Seat will punish you by making you guard the mountain gate."
Seeing Chi Yu's solemn expression, Qing Wei no longer behaved so recklessly.
"Yes!"
Then he said to Shangqing:
"Pay your respects to your Martial Uncle Qing Wei! From now on, you will live here and help This Seat keep a close watch on this old bastard."
"Uh... Master?"
"Hm?"
"Yes!"
"Shangqing pays his respects to Martial Uncle Qing Wei!"
"Hehehe! It's nice having my nephew here. At least he can keep me company."
"You're overthinking it. Your task is to pass your Merit Dao on to Shangqing and help him attain complete comprehension. Understand?"
Qing Wei immediately felt that things were no longer so sweet!
"Brother, th-this law is incredibly difficult to comprehend to perfection. In this vast Primordial World, there are only a handful who have achieved it! Even I spent several Yuanhui comprehending it to perfection in Chaos! Aren't you making things difficult for me?"
"Don't worry. My disciple was transformed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit! So..."
"Ah? What? Pangu?"
Then came a thud.
Qing Wei dropped straight to his knees.
Shangqing stared at his Master in utter confusion.
Chi Yu smiled.
"Your Martial Uncle fears nothing but Pangu. Back in Chaos, Pangu cleaved apart three thousand divine demons with his strength..."
After the explanation, Shangqing understood.
Qing Wei had recovered by then, and Shangqing stepped forward to help him up.
"Cough, cough! Nephew, you absolutely must not let this matter get out, understand?"
Shangqing smiled helplessly.
"Don't worry, Martial Uncle!"
"Mm!"
Seeing the two of them growing familiar with each other, Chi Yu rose and returned to Azure Dust Palace.
"Farewell, Master!"
Creation Hall.
Feng Xuan, Yuan Feng, was currently comprehending the laws.
Green Phoenix limped in, her face flushed red.
The two sisters had originally agreed to go to Creation Hall together to digest their insights.
But Green Phoenix had gone back to her residence to bathe, only for Chi Yu to run into her. And then...
Only afterward did she remember that her elder sister was still waiting for her in Creation Hall.
That was why, after remembering, Green Phoenix hurried over without stopping.
When Feng Xuan saw Green Phoenix arrive, she opened her eyes and froze.
"Hm? What happened to you?"
"Cough, cough! Well, I accidentally twisted my ankle while rushing over."
Green Phoenix was clearly terrible at lying.
But Feng Xuan merely assumed she had been fooling around and did not think of that sort of thing.
The main reason was that she had never experienced it herself.
"Did you apply any medicine?"
Green Phoenix nodded shyly.
"Then come and comprehend the laws! I've been waiting for you for ages!"
Green Phoenix nodded, then endured the sharp pain as she sat down cross-legged.
Feng Xuan shook her head and closed her eyes, continuing her comprehension.
Green Phoenix glanced at Feng Xuan, then looked toward Azure Dust Palace outside Creation Hall.
"Hmph! Beast!"
