Hearts Change!

The Sea of No Delusion.

On a Spiritual Qi rich island a thousand miles away from Whitehead Island, Lu Qingfeng sat cross-legged in his cave abode.

A large array was set up outside the cave abode to prevent anyone from searching inside or outside.

The Invert-Grand-Void Glazed Wall illuminated the cave abode, inverting the secrets of heaven and concealing its own form.

This ensures that Mahayana True Immortal would find it difficult to detect.

That's how it is.

He then took out a branch from the meson space.

[Rare Item: Vast Wisdom Tree (Branches)]

[Grade: Eighth Tier]

[Note: The founder of the Mount Yu Sect, the True Immortal Guangdu, once obtained a seed of a celestial tree named 'Guanghui'. He planted it, and after it matured, he cultivated under the Vast Wisdom Tree, ultimately achieving enlightenment. The Vast Wisdom Tree became a treasure of the Mount Yu Sect. Cultivating under the tree allows one to clarify the mind and calm the spirit, perceive reality, and aid in cultivation. This is a branch that fell from the Vast Wisdom Tree, sprouting immediately upon landing. Watering it with the Moonlight True Water and nourishing it with one's own wisdom will allow the branch to grow strong and healthy, thus replenishing the Vast Wisdom Tree (its original form).]

"The branches of the immortal tree".

Lu Qingfeng thought to himself, "Just as I expected."

The moment he first saw the Vast Wisdom Tree, he sensed its extraordinary nature and guessed it might be among the immortal trees of the eighth rank or higher. Now, having obtained a branch, he examined it through the Grand Luo Insight and realized his guess was correct.

"Immortal Artifact is a rare find in the mortal world."

"Even immortal trees are hard to find in the mortal world."

"That Vast Wisdom Tree— "

Lu Qingfeng looked up at the heavens, his mind racing. "If only I could use immortal wood to Foundation Establishment— "

Thinking this way.

Lu Qingfeng immediately chuckled and shook his head, withdrawing his gaze.

"The True Immortal Ronghong bestowed the Vast Wisdom Tree Branch, having already planned it out."

"It's not free."

"With my current cultivation level, I have no right to even think about touching the Vast Wisdom Tree."

Lu Qingfeng was self-aware.

This Vast Wisdom Tree is the foundational treasure of the Mount Yu Sect. A Mahayana True Immortal cultivates under the tree, never leaving its side day or night. Even if he were to advance to the Primordial Spirit, it would all be in vain.

"Even a single branch can be of great use."

Lu Qingfeng smiled.

The Vast Wisdom Tree is a sacred tree.

Even a single branch is comparable to an eighth-grade spirit tree.

For Lu Qingfeng, the Foundation Establishment of the "Mortal-World Longevity Method" was sufficient at the eighth level.

"Only--"

Such a treasure was bestowed so casually by the True Immortal Ronghong, clearly indicating ulterior motives.

"Even."

"It's not just about giving back to the Vast Wisdom Tree with my wisdom."

"Moreover, I cultivate day and night by the Vast Wisdom Tree Branch, and all my secrets are revealed before me. Perhaps the True Immortal Ronghong can analyze my true origins by using the Vast Wisdom Tree itself."

"And even use this branch to control the cave abode I opened up in the Southern Borderlands."

Lu Qingfeng hesitated, "Let's give him a try."

One thought.

Five-Colored Divine Light shot out from above, shaking the sky like an ancient divine mountain, and fiercely swept down on the Vast Wisdom Tree Branch in his hand.

Three times in a row.

The Vast Wisdom Tree Branch in his hand flashed with Radiance three times.

Lu Qingfeng was relieved. He gripped the branch, circulated his profound energy, and strands of energy intertwined.

He was actually practicing the "Mortal-World Longevity Method"!

"Although it is a branch, it is no weaker than an eighth-order spirit wood, enough to Foundation Establishment!"

Lu Qingfeng felt a faint sense of joy.

As the saying goes, "You can search high and low without finding it, but then it comes to you effortlessly." Originally, it was unknown when they would find the eighth-tier spirit wood to Foundation Establishment for the "Mortal-World Longevity Method."

I was thinking that if I really couldn't find one, a seventh-tier one would do.

Unexpectedly, this came to us.

"Use the Vast Wisdom Tree Branch to Foundation Establishment. If you can obtain the Vast Wisdom Tree itself in the future, you can also fill the foundation."

"From the eighth-order Spirit Wood Foundation Establishment, it has leaped to the Immortal Wood Foundation Establishment!"

Lu Qingfeng pondered this in his heart, becoming increasingly delighted.

He then focused on refining the Vast Wisdom Tree Branch in his hand.

When Lu Qingfeng was refining the Vast Wisdom Tree Branch.

The horizon is nowhere to be found.

Under the Vast Wisdom Tree, True Immortal Ronghong suddenly opened his eyes.

"Um?"

The wrinkles on True Immortal Ronghong's face trembled slightly, and he let out a soft exclamation. His gaze fell down from the heavens, landing on the Blackwater Mountain of the Southern Borderlands.

Blackwater Mountain is located in all directions.

The "Mount Yu Manifestation Great Formation" set up by the Sun, Moon, and Stars Banners could not block the vision of True Immortal Ronghong, but the array of 108 mountain peaks arranged around Blackwater Mountain, with the earth veins pulling and the earth energy gathering, formed a mysterious array that obscured the location of Blackwater Pool. Even if True Immortal Ronghong looked at it, he could not see it clearly.

Lu Qingfeng, being in the middle, was naturally obscured and could not be seen.

"This child—"

True Immortal Ronghong withdrew his gaze, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes. His lips moved slightly, and a Xuanji pierced through the void, disappearing without a trace.

A short while later.

A Daoist priest dressed in a robe embroidered with the sun and moon strode over.

His face was as black as charcoal.

He sat down beside the True Immortal Ronghong.

If Gu Xuan, Gu Yang, and other Nascent Primordial Spirit cultivators of the Mount Yu Sect were here, they would surely recognize that this charcoal-black Daoist was none other than 'True Immortal Guangning,' one of the three True Immortal Ancestor of the Mount Yu Sect.

"Senior brother has recently taken on a new disciple who has gained some renown in the Southern Borderlands. His swordsmanship is extraordinary, and his names, Divine Thunder Pellet Thunderclap Pellet, are renowned far and wide. Senior brother, have you summoned me here because you have already ascertained this young man's background?"

True Immortal Guangning clearly knew about True Immortal Ronghong taking Lu Qingfeng as his disciple, and was also aware of Lu Qingfeng's great achievements in the Southern Borderlands Frontier.

He spoke up to ask the question at that moment.

"Never."

True Immortal Ronghong shook his head. "Qing Yuanzi became a disciple under the Vast Wisdom Tree, with Ao Zhen and Yun Luo by his side. Both of them said that they could not discern Qing Yuanzi's origins, but he should be from the Nine Continents."

"From the Nine Continents?"

"Not only has his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, but he also possesses a powerful inheritance. He has the Mountain-Moving Strongman, the Sword Dao Celestial River, and numerous divine thunderbolts and lightning bolts. Forgive my ignorance, but I never imagined that such an inheritance had ever existed in the Nine Continents."

True Immortal Guangning had a dark face with a slightly furrowed brow.

Even if it's about inheritance.

There should be some clues to follow.

Based on Qing Yuanzi's lineage, even if it wasn't obtained from Mahayana True Immortal, it should still be from a Primordial Spirit True One with a considerable reputation. If it was obtained from the Nine Continents, True Immortal Guangning thought he had heard of many renowned Primordial Spirit True One among the True Immortal of the Nine Continents of Chunshen throughout history.

Searching my memory thoroughly.

You can find a few similar ones, but upon closer comparison, they seem quite different.

True Immortal Guangning looked at True Immortal Ronghong and said, "Senior Brother, you are in charge of the Vast Wisdom Tree and your knowledge and experience far surpass mine. I wonder where this lineage comes from?"

"I don't know."

True Immortal Ronghong shook his head again, his gaze deep and profound, and said, "This child just now used some method to refine the Vast Wisdom Tree Branch that I bestowed upon him. Now the Vast Wisdom Tree can no longer sense the location of the branches."

These words were spoken.

True Immortal Guangning raised an eyebrow, immediately understanding the deeper meaning, "In that case, he should not be from the Nine Continents."

As he spoke.

The True Immortal Guangning frowned, and pondered for a moment—

"Seventh-tier Alchemist, seventh-tier weapon refiner."

"Exceptional swordsmanship."

"Mastered many methods for capturing thunder."

True Immortal Guangning turned his gaze to True Immortal Ronghong and asked hesitantly, "Does Yun Luo really not know this boy's background?!"

"Who can tell what's true and what's false?"

A self-deprecating smile appeared on True Immortal Ronghong's wrinkled face. "Not being from the Nine Continents might actually be a good thing. The Nine Continents are in turmoil, and Ancient Sorrow's power is immense. Even if my Mount Yu Sect has another genius, in thousands of years, they will at most reach the True Immortal realm. With one more True Immortal one less, what difference does it make when facing Ancient Sorrow?"

Upon hearing this, the True Immortal Guangning fell silent for a moment.

Even Primordial Spirit cultivators throughout the Nine Continents could hardly comprehend the power of the Ancient Sorrow World. However, as Mahayana True Immortal, they knew its might by fighting it across the void between two realms.

A standoff for six or seven thousand years.

Ancient Sorrow is powerful.

It's despairing.

True Immortal Ronghong chuckled self-deprecatingly and continued, "This boy comes from the Ancient Sorrow. With his talent and ability, he must have an extremely powerful background. The fact that he is so happy to join our Mount Yu Sect suggests that he is not afraid of being questioned by the Ancient Sorrow Heavenly Court or the Three Dragon Palaces, and that he must have a plan to avoid being implicated by the backlash of the heavens and earth. If our Mount Yu Sect wants to gain a foothold in the Ancient Sorrow in the future, this boy may be the key."

"Ancient Sorrow Heavenly Court".

"The Sorrow River Dragon Palace".

"East Sea Dragon Palace".

"West Sea Dragon Palace".

True Immortal Ronghong counted on his fingers, "Once we confirm this boy's identity, we can make a decision. From beginning to end, my Mount Yu Sect will surely perish."

"According to my senior brother's guess, this child should be from the Ancient Sorrow Heavenly Court."

"Among the four major forces of the Ancient Sorrow, the most suitable for our Mount Yu Sect is the Ancient Sorrow Heavenly Court."

True Immortal Guangning's eyes flickered, "This upheaval in the heavens is not necessarily all bad. In the Nine Continents, the path to immortality is severed, and the Mahayana True Immortal is the end. But in the Ancient Sorrow World, it seems there is still a path ahead beyond the Fifth Realm."

The Sea of No Delusion.

As Lu Qingfeng refined the last branch of the Vast Wisdom Tree Branch, a mysterious change occurred in his aura, and his temperament subtly shifted, though the specific details were difficult to pinpoint.

I just feel that...

His life force seemed to be far stronger than that of other cultivators of the same level.

It is full of youthful vigor.

"The Foundation Establishment and the task is accomplished."

"Finally, I can cultivate the 'Mortal-World Longevity Method'."

Lu Qingfeng opened his eyes, a fleeting hint of joy passing through his eyes.

He had already completely refined the Vast Wisdom Tree Branch and successfully Foundation Establishment the "Mortal-World Longevity Method". At the beginning of the Foundation Establishment, the increase in lifespan was not very obvious. However, with the practice of the "Mountain-River Meridian-Following Fist", "Sun-Moon Five-Wheel Fist", and "Circulation of Cosmic Star Fist", his lifespan could increase dramatically.

"The Profound Grade the 'Mortal-World Longevity Method' is incomparable to the Orthodox Grade."

Lu Qingfeng's smile widened.

Calm the Qi.

Looking up, my gaze drifted to the unknown horizon.

"When the Vast Wisdom Tree Branch were refined, True Immortal Ronghong must have sensed it, yet he did not become angry or punish me. It seems that it was indeed as I expected."

Anyone with eyes can see that Chunshen Realm cannot withstand the might of the Ancient Sorrow Continent and will eventually be annexed by it.

How could the various immortal sects and Demon Sect in the Chunshen Realm, along with all the Mahayana True Immortal, not see the situation clearly?

Initial resistance.

That's having hope.

Looking ahead, with the overall situation already settled, very few people still harbor such thoughts.

"The continued interception of the void is probably just to buy time, make more arrangements, and prepare a backup plan."

"Mount Yu Sect".

Lu Qingfeng shook his head.

Human hearts have always been fickle.

Even immortals are human.

Nature will change.

"I have the Invert-Grand-Void Glazed Wall to conceal the secrets of heaven, so even if the Ancient Sorrow cultivators were face to face, they would not recognize me."

"Revealing some of their true strength can confuse the public and disrupt the judgment of the Mount Yu Sect."

"In this way."

"Seize the last opportunity, use the tiger's skin as a coat, and make the most of it – that's the right way."

Lu Qingfeng's eyes were bright.

He stretched out his hand, and thirty-two Iron Lotus Seed floated up and down in his palm, each containing a mysterious energy that was captivating.

This was, in fact, the first benefit he gained from the Mount Yu Sect—

Thirty-two Innate Scattered Character.
