We Bid Farewell to Eldest Senior Brother! The End

We Bid Farewell to Eldest Senior Brother! The End

Junior Sister Ziyun had arrived.

Lu Changsheng immediately became exceedingly proper.

At the same time, he kept warning himself inwardly: Don't be coy, don't be coy, don't be coy.

He had suffered a loss last time; he absolutely could not suffer another this time.

"Senior Brother Changsheng!"

Junior Sister Ziyun walked in. The moment she saw Lu Changsheng, a smile capable of toppling kingdoms blossomed across her face.

"Junior Sister Ziyun, it has been quite some time!"

Lu Changsheng rose to his feet, looking thoroughly refined and scholarly.

"I have been in closed-door seclusion all this time, which is why I did not come to see you, Senior Brother Changsheng. But after I emerged, I heard about your affairs, so I came specially to offer my congratulations."

Junior Sister Ziyun spoke with a gentle smile.

Lu Changsheng gestured with his hand. "Junior Sister, please sit!"

She did not stand on ceremony and sat down at once. Then she said, "Senior Brother, I heard that you will be descending the mountain tomorrow. I must head to the Langya Secret Realm this time and cannot accompany you. I hope you will not blame me, Senior Brother."

Ziyun spoke as she gazed at Lu Changsheng with her beautiful eyes.

"How could I possibly blame you, Junior Sister? This journey to the Langya Secret Realm—you must take great care. Remember one thing from your senior brother: never trust anyone too easily, no matter who they are. You must be cautious, cautious, and cautious again. The Langya Secret Realm is fraught with peril. I do not wish to receive news of misfortune."

Lu Changsheng spoke gently, warming Ziyun's heart.

"Rest assured, Senior Brother. I will certainly be more careful. Though the Langya Secret Realm is extraordinarily dangerous, the more dangerous a place is, the more fortune and opportunity it holds. I heard that your cultivation, Senior Brother, has reached the heights of creation itself, attaining the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. Your junior sister is dull of talent; after cultivating for twenty years, I have only reached the Spirit Transformation Realm. If I do not venture forth and strive, how could I ever catch up to your footsteps?"

Ziyun spoke, her words full of self-reproach.

Twenty years?

Spirit Transformation Realm?

Lu Changsheng knew his junior sister was formidable, but he had never expected her to be this formidable.

What did the Spirit Transformation Realm even mean?

She could probably crush him to death with a single finger, right?

And this was called dull talent?

At this moment, Lu Changsheng somewhat regretted boasting to Liu Qingfeng that day.

He truly had not expected rumors to be so terrifying.

"Junior Sister, do not be anxious. You must know that haste makes waste."

Lu Changsheng instructed her earnestly.

This made Ziyun all the more delighted.

"Still, just how dangerous is the Langya Secret Realm?"

Lu Changsheng knew of the Langya Secret Realm. It was said to be a training ground opened by some ancient mighty cultivator, containing many treasures. But to open it, one had to possess a Langya Token; only by gathering all the Langya Tokens could one enter.

As for how dangerous it truly was, the books contained only a single sentence.

Nine deaths, one life.

"The Langya Secret Realm is a training ground opened by the ancient mighty cultivator, the Langya True Person. It is exceedingly perilous within, and only Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators may enter. It is divided into nine trials, each one a trial of life and death. According to legend, no one has yet made it through the ninth trial and obtained the final Langya Treasure."

"Each time, tens of thousands of people enter the Langya Secret Realm, yet perhaps fewer than a hundred emerge alive. But I hear that something strange has happened with the Langya Secret Realm this time. At least several hundred thousand cultivators have obtained Langya Tokens, so the competition this time will be even more dangerous."

Ziyun explained.

"In that case, Junior Sister Ziyun, you must take even better care of yourself. Your senior brother is incapable of accompanying you to the Langya Secret Realm. Otherwise, with me there, you would be much safer."

Lu Changsheng spoke, showering her with concern.

It warmed Ziyun to the depths of her heart.

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother. But I must leave now. The Langya Secret Realm will soon open, and I cannot delay!"

Ziyun rose. Though reluctant to part, she ultimately got up and left.

In an instant, Lu Changsheng was somewhat stunned.

Why was she not giving him anything?

Hey!

Junior Sister Ziyun!

Do you have any treasures or something? Your senior brother is about to descend the mountain—I need a few things to protect myself. How about giving your senior brother a few pieces?

This time, your senior brother definitely would not be coy.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Junior Sister, don't go.

Junior Sister, come back!

Lu Changsheng had already prepared himself to accept the gift directly, but he had never expected Junior Sister Ziyun to leave so resolutely this time.

Had his looks declined?

After Junior Sister Ziyun left, Lu Changsheng felt somewhat restless and uneasy.

Sure enough, as the ancients said, an opportunity comes only once. Once missed, it is missed.

Sighing, Lu Changsheng was not particularly upset. Yet watching Ziyun leave still left a bitter taste in his heart. After all, the cultivation world was so brutal. What if a woman of such peerless beauty truly fell into evil hands?

Every heart was made of flesh.

Especially when she was an unparalleled beauty who admired him—naturally, he would worry for her to some extent.

But before long, Lu Changsheng had calmed down considerably.

For this trip down the mountain, Lu Changsheng had set three rules for himself.

First: do not meddle in other people's business.

Second: do not leap to the defense of justice.

Third: do not go looking for trouble.

Perhaps influenced by countless web novels, he did not know exactly how brutal the world outside was, but it was absolutely impossible for everyone in this world to be good people.

Being cautious was certainly a good thing.

However, Lu Changsheng's caution was not due to his personality, but due to his cultivation realm.

If his own realm were powerful enough, Lu Changsheng would absolutely not be cautious.

Forget Tribulation Transcendence—even at the Spirit Transformation realm, Lu Changsheng would not flinch in the slightest.

But at the Qi Refinement realm, what courage did Lu Changsheng have to act recklessly?

Who gave him that courage?

And so it was.

The next day arrived.

All the disciples of the Great Luo Holy Land had gathered.

Today was the day Eldest Senior Brother descended the mountain, so naturally it had to be made grand.

A flood dragon beast pulled a jade carriage, followed by several hundred elders.

The jade carriage was a magical artifact capable of blocking divine sense. No one could see the people inside; they could only make out a silhouette.

At the same time.

At the back mountain.

Lu Changsheng, along with Liu Qingfeng, was bidding farewell to Qingyun Daoist.

That was right, Liu Qingfeng was coming along as well.

For this trip down the mountain, he had to bring someone with him. Though Qingfeng's realm was not particularly high, he could at least be of some help.

Within the back mountain.

Qingyun Daoist looked at Lu Changsheng with great reluctance to part.

"Changsheng, after going down the mountain, you must be careful. Whatever you do, don't try to outdo others."

"Sometimes, taking a little loss is no big deal. At worst, once you return, Master will help you win back your dignity."

"Remember, if you can't win, run. If you really can't run, immediately activate the Great Luo Universe Ring. Master will immediately mobilize every elder of the Great Luo Holy Land to rescue you."

"You must, must be careful."

Qingyun Daoist spoke thus, offering all manner of instructions.

"Please rest assured, Master. Your disciple will certainly be careful."

Lu Changsheng replied seriously.

"Oh, right. On this trip down the mountain, you must be especially careful. If you encounter someone named Zhou Wushuang, you must keep far away from her. She and I have a deep-seated enmity!"

Qingyun Daoist suddenly recalled something and warned Lu Changsheng.

"What deep-seated enmity?"

Lu Changsheng felt inexplicably uneasy.

"You know that back then, your master was refined and graceful, handsome and dashing. In terms of temperament, I may even have rivaled you. Back then, I captivated countless female cultivators and left them utterly besotted. This Zhou Wushuang was one of those who admired me. Later, I forsook her for the immortal path, so if you encounter her and she recognizes you, she will definitely cause you trouble."

"You must remember this."

Qingyun Daoist spoke with an extremely serious expression.

Although Lu Changsheng felt that his master had definitely not told the whole truth, that was not important.

"Master, if you have any other enemies, tell me about them all at once."

Lu Changsheng asked earnestly.

"Basically none. After I became the Da Luo Holy Lord back then, those enemies of mine basically all vanished."

Qingyun Daoist spoke calmly, his words carrying a thought-provoking undertone.

But very soon, Qingyun Daoist continued to express his concern for Lu Changsheng.

"Changsheng, you must take good care of yourself. And remember—never be tempted by female charms. Do not follow in your master's footsteps."

"Be mindful of your safety."

"Be more careful."

"Take one step back and the sea and sky stretch wide; endure for a moment and wind and waves will settle."

Qingyun Daoist said with immense concern.

At the same time.

Liu Qingfeng also looked toward Qingyun Daoist. Clearly, he too wanted a little affection.

Sensing Liu Qingfeng's gaze, the concern in Qingyun Daoist's eyes instantly cooled by quite a bit. Instead, he said with a solemn expression, "Qingfeng."

"Mhm, mhm, Sect Leader, I'm here."

Liu Qingfeng looked full of anticipation, waiting for the Sect Leader's affection.

"On this trip, you must take good care of your senior brother. Any hard, tiring, or dirty work—never let your senior brother do it. And when the crucial moment comes, if your senior brother truly encounters any danger, you must save him even at the cost of your life. When the time comes, I will definitely set up a longevity tablet for you!"

"Remember, if anything happens to your senior brother, don't come back either. Do you hear me?"

"The purpose of having you follow your senior brother this time is precisely that. I have already discussed it with your father. If you truly meet with misfortune, don't be sad—your father plans to have another child."

Qingyun Daoist said calmly.

Liu Qingfeng: "????"

What did that mean?

Wasn't he a person too?

Sect Leader, what did you mean by that?

Was that even funny?

You made me follow Senior Brother just so I could sacrifice my life?

And have another child?

He wasn't even dead yet!

Liu Qingfeng cried.

His mood instantly plummeted to rock bottom.

Even Lu Changsheng was somewhat dumbfounded. Wasn't his master a little too blunt?

"Alright, go."

After Qingyun Daoist straightened Lu Changsheng's clothes, he spoke slowly.

There was worry in his eyes that could not be concealed.

"Let's go!"

Lu Changsheng nodded, then left the rear mountain with Qingfeng.

Qingyun Daoist stood atop the mountain peak, watching their departing backs in silence.

Very soon, at that moment, voices rose in unison, deafening as they pierced through the clouds.

"We respectfully see off Eldest Senior Brother!"

As the voices rang out, Lu Changsheng abruptly stopped.

He turned back and looked at Qingyun Daoist on the distant mountaintop.

Then he slowly knelt.

He did not say a word.

He merely kowtowed three times to Qingyun Daoist.

Then he rose and left.

He understood that Qingyun Daoist truly cared about him.

He knew, and that was why he kowtowed those three times.

Partings always carried a touch of sorrow.

When Qingyun Daoist saw Lu Changsheng kneel and kowtow, he could not help but let out a faint sigh.

He said nothing. Having lived for several thousand years, he had experienced many things.

On the road down the mountain.

Liu Qingfeng was feeling utterly dejected.

But after a while, Liu Qingfeng could not help asking, "Senior Brother, is what the sect master said true?"

Lu Changsheng rubbed Qingfeng's head and comforted him. "Don't worry. The sect master has never lied to anyone."

Liu Qingfeng: ""

After a long while, Lu Changsheng's voice rang out again.

"Qingfeng, would you prefer Your Father to have a little brother or a little sister?"

Liu Qingfeng: ""

And so, as the breeze swept by and the leaves rustled, on Great Luo Rear Mountain, the shadows of two figures gradually stretched long.

Then, little by little, they vanished.
