Audience

Lu Qingfeng saw it.

He hurriedly tried to contain it, but his own absorption was already saturated, and he couldn't take in any more of this energy. Helpless, he could only confine it to his surroundings.

That's how it is.

The mysterious aura did not dissipate, but continued to accumulate around Lu Qingfeng.

Lu Qingfeng sensed it and was immediately enlightened—

"Immortal Crystal!"

His eyes lit up.

That's exactly right.

He achieved the Mahayana Sensing, enabling him to sense the natural order of Heavenly Dao and draw upon the Celestial Immortal for his own cultivation. And what is descending now—isn't this celestial energy itself?

Every breath of immortal energy that entered his abdomen caused unimaginable changes to his physical body, Primordial Spirit, and Law Power.

Ethereal!

Ethereal!

The word 'immortal' is used to distinguish something extraordinary. If Core Formation Cultivator were to obtain this breath of immortal energy, they could likely advance to a higher realm in an instant.

With each breath, the essence of immortals enters the heart and lungs.

What else could it be but 'Immortal Crystal' scattered around him and gathering together?!

Previously, I only knew the origin of the Immortal Crystal, but now that I have become an immortal, I understand its profound mystery.

"True Immortal!"

"True Immortal!"

"Things will be completely different from now on!"

Lu Qingfeng stood up, and the void around him cracked. A wisp of energy leaked out, and the futons, tables, chairs, flowers, and trees in the quiet room all seemed to have been blessed, as if they contained a touch more spiritual energy.

In particular, the plants and trees in the courtyard, and the insects and ants in the soil, the former swayed and fluttered, while the latter seemed to be intoxicated and dizzy, yet each of them benefited and gained a glimmer of wisdom.

If this continues for a long time, their intelligence will eventually be greatly enhanced, and even ordinary plants, trees, insects, and ants in the mortal world can embark on the path to immortality. Even without any special methods, they can all be transformed into spirits and monsters.

"What a Mahayana True Immortal!"

Lu Qingfeng sighed inwardly in admiration.

Without stepping into the realm of True Immortal, one will never know the Mahayana mysteries of Mahayana Buddhism. Standing outside the gates of immortality, no matter how much one hears from elsewhere, looking into the gates is still like trying to see flowers through mist or the moon's reflection in water.

Not real.

Only by stepping inside can one catch a glimpse of its true form.

Lu Qingfeng stood quietly, savoring the moment.

Twelve days later, he opened his eyes and found that all the changes and boundless power were under his control.

Step out of the quiet room.

Ao Le stood there gracefully, with two little girls, about the height of Ao Le calves, clinging to the hem of Ao Le skirt. They half-hid behind her, looking at the strange man, Lu Qingfeng, with a mixture of timidity and curiosity.

"Congratulations to my husband on his ascension to the True Immortal."

Ao Le Lu Qingfeng's aura was completely different, Ao Le was overjoyed. He congratulated Lu Qingfeng and then looked down at the two little ones with a smile, "Xiao'er and Yao'er, why don't you quickly pay your respects to your father?"

Lu Xiao and Lu Yao stared wide-eyed, still somewhat distant.

Lu Qingfeng saw it.

He opened his mouth and blew out two clouds, which lifted the two little ones to his side. He then stepped forward and hugged Ao Le, laughing loudly, "Xiao'er and Yao'er have grown quite a bit since this year of seclusion."

He put one arm around Ao Le and hugged Lu Yao with the other, saying, "My good daughter, call me 'Daddy'."

Lu Yao blinked her big eyes, grabbed Lu Qingfeng's hair with her little hands, smelled Lu Qingfeng's scent, and seemed to feel a closeness from the depths of her bloodline. She opened her mouth and called out in a clear voice, "Daddy, Daddy."

"Ha ha!"

"Good boy, good boy, good boy."

Lu Qingfeng laughed heartily, feeling quite pleased with himself.

"Huff, huff!"

Lu Xiao lay on one side of the cloud, studying his surroundings. Lu Qingfeng couldn't spare a hand to hold him, and the little guy ignored Lu Qingfeng, engrossed in playing with the cloud by himself.

Upon seeing this, Ao Le broke free from Lu Qingfeng's embrace, lifted Lu Xiao down from the cloud, and placed him in Lu Qingfeng's other arm, scolding, "How can you only hold your daughter?"

"It's not that I don't have the time."

Lu Qingfeng wanted to argue a bit more, but seeing Ao Le's gaze, he wisely turned to tease Lu Xiao, "Xiao'er, call out 'Daddy'."

Lu Xiao stared wide-eyed, stunned for a long time.

"Call me 'Daddy'."

Lu Qingfeng then taught him a lesson.

Lu Xiao remained silent, staring intently at Lu Qingfeng. Suddenly, he grabbed Lu Qingfeng's Lu Qingfeng and lunged to bite his chin.

Its mouth kept moving, as if it had found something delicious.

Lu Qingfeng didn't dare move, afraid of hurting Lu Xiao. He just looked helplessly at Ao Le and said awkwardly, "This silly son!"

Jimo City.

The extraordinary phenomena of True Immortal stretched for 30,000 miles, attracting many Primordial Spirit to arrive.

None of them dared to enter the city rashly, for fear of disturbing the person's breakthrough and thus incurring an irreconcilable enmity.

So they lined up in twos and threes.

Four of them were on different hilltops, facing each other from afar.

One was a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar.

One was a domineering old man dressed in Black Dragon.

Also.

There was also a Daoist priest and a general.

If anyone saw them, they would recognize them as the four most powerful and influential figures in the Min River and Southern Kingdom regions.

The two in the lead were the Min River Lords, who ruled over all the aquatic creatures of the Min River. The other was the ruler of the Southern Kingdom.

Upon seeing the three, the King of the Southern Kingdom laughed loudly, "Brother Zhang, Brother Yufeng, and Brother Beiye, the three of you are usually in seclusion and rarely seen."

Upon hearing this, Daoist Yufeng flicked his whisk lightly and said, "This humble Daoist was cultivating a great Dharma in seclusion when I was awakened by a strange phenomenon of True Immortal. I have come here to pay my respects to the master of this place."

General Beiye, with his rugged and unrestrained appearance, said in a loud voice, "This place is truly Earth Spirit. The famous 'Heavenly Pivot War God,' who was then the 'Heavenly Pivot Demon-Subduing Marshal' in the Sorrow River, was born in the Min River."

As he spoke, he looked at the Min River God and said, "Speaking of which, this 'Heavenly Pivot War God' has some connection with Brother Zhang. His grandfather was a second-rank dragon god who ruled the Min River back then."

Ao Jun possesses exceptional strength and has fought fiercely against demons on all sides, making him extremely renowned both within and outside the Sorrow River.

Although both the Southern Kingdom and the Min River have undergone dynastic changes, many top experts have heard of their origins and are proud of them.

After all.

Having Sorrow River, there are very few Mahayana True Immortal left; each one is a legendary figure.

"General Beiye is knowledgeable and experienced."

The Min River God smiled in response, but inwardly shook his head. "'Heavenly Pivot War God' hailed from the Min River and was a True Immortal, yet he still had to be extremely respectful to that person and address him as 'Uncle.' In this region, if we're talking about top figures, 'Heavenly Pivot War God' can only rank second."

Suddenly.

Looking south again, I thought of the sect leader of Mount Yu, and also—

A thought suddenly occurred to him, "Perhaps it won't even rank second."

Min River God kept these thoughts to himself.

"Ha ha!"

"I just like to ask around when I have nothing better to do, unlike Brother Zhang."

General Beiye laughed loudly, glancing at the Min River Water Lord, wondering to himself who this unknown figure was who had parachuted into the Min River 1,200 years ago to serve as a second-rank water lord.

His origins are truly mysterious, and his methods are even more remarkable.

This has caused considerable apprehension among those around them.

The king of the Southern Kingdom also looked towards the Min River God, but overheard bits and pieces of information about the Min River God's origins. However, he could not ascertain the specifics.

Min River Shuijun ignored what the three were thinking and looked towards Jimo City, wondering who had broken through inside. If it was indeed the Jimo Prefect, he could try to recruit him for the sake of the monarch.

Each of the four had their own thoughts.

Time passes.

As Lu Qingfeng stepped out of the meditation room, the strange thunderous phenomenon that had lasted for 490 days finally dissipated.

Throughout Jimo City, figures who saw this felt a jolt in their hearts—

"It's done!"

In the blink of Heart Movement.

Only then did he dare to step into Jimo City, find the aura he had seen at the time, and land outside the prefect's mansion.

An ordinary Primordial Spirit would not dare to be presumptuous.

Only experts of the caliber of the Min River Lord and the Southern Kingdom's ruler dared to step forward.

The ruler of the Southern Kingdom arrived in a flash and called out loudly into the governor's mansion, "Zhao Zheng of the Southern Kingdom has come to congratulate you on achieving the status of a True Immortal!"

The Min River God, standing nearby, also spoke in a clear voice, "Min River Zhang Ke, congratulations on attaining Immortal Dao, senior!"

Daoist Yufeng and General Beiye spoke up one by one.

The words fell.

A voice came from inside the prefect's residence, "Zhang Ke, come in."

"Huh?"

Zhang Ke Water Lord of the Min River, was taken aback, feeling that the voice was somewhat familiar. He had a guess in his mind, but was not sure, yet he quickly agreed and entered the mansion.

The Southern Kingdom's King Zhao Zheng, Daoist Yufeng, and General Beiye Ye were left outside the mansion, unsure whether to go in or out. Each of them stared at Zhang Ke's retreating figure, a chill running down their spines.

"This Zhang Ke is indeed someone of great importance!"

Zhang Ke didn't care about the three of them.

They hurried into the prefect's mansion, where a maid led them to the inner courtyard.

And there it was.

A young man in casual clothes sat sipping tea, watching two children playing merrily in the courtyard, a faint smile on his face. Beside him sat a gentle woman, also smiling.

Zhang Ke saw it.

He frowned inwardly, but his expression remained unchanged. He stepped forward, bowed respectfully to the young man, and said, "Min River Zhang Ke, congratulations to Prefect Lu on his advancement to the Mahayana realm!"

Zhang Ke was stationed at the Min River, and he naturally recognized the governor of Jimo Commandery, who was located on the banks of the Min River.

Only.

This prefect of Jimo was usually unassuming and his background was even more mysterious than his. Unexpectedly, he had suddenly become True Immortal, far ahead of him.

This really surprised him quite a bit.

Zhang Ke pondered the origins of this Prefect of Jimo.

Seeing Zhang Ke's restraint, Lu Qingfeng and Ao Le exchanged a glance and immediately laughed.

The governor's wife smiled at the governor of Jimo and said, "With such a commotion as my husband's ascension to the rank of True Immortal, he probably can't stay in Jimo City any longer, so there's no need to hide it from him."

"Um?"

Confused, Zhang Ke recalled the sounds he had just heard and suddenly came to his senses. He looked at the Prefect of Jimo and exclaimed, "Your Majesty?"

"Zhang Ke, it's been a long time."

Lu Qingfeng smiled, and with a thought, he removed the illusion spells from him and Ao Le, instantly restoring their original appearances. Although it was a subtle change, it made a world of difference.

Zhang Ke recognized them at a glance—who else could they be but the "Divine Lord of Censure" and the "Divine Lord of Palace Clerks" from the Divine Censure Office?!

I was startled.

He immediately bowed, "Zhang Ke greets Your Majesty and Mistress!"

"Alright."

"Your father and my wife and I have been friends for over 50,000 years, there's no need for such formalities."

Ao Le chuckled softly.

Although Zhang Ke looked a bit older than he was, she had watched him grow up since he was a child. His father was the former Divine Censure Office, the "Investigator of Demons and Monsters, Judge of Good and Evil, and Chief of the Five Hells," a third-rank official.

He was also Lu Qingfeng's former subordinate, and one of the few top experts in the past 50,000 years of the Divine Censure Office to advance to the Mahayana True Immortal.

When Zhang Shu achieved True Immortal status, Lu Qingfeng used his connections to promote Zhang Shu to the 'Azure-Spirit Prestige-Raising Five-Thunder Marshal' of the Sorrow River, a first-rank official. He led thirty-six Five-Thunder Divine Generals, touring the four directions and four extremes.
