600. Chapter 592: Mountain Wind, Skylark (3,500 Words)!

The Guangyuan Immortal Sect's mountain gate is located on Luo Jia Immortal Mountain on Maple Moon Star.

The fairy mountain is shrouded in mist, exuding an ethereal aura.

Many of these areas are forbidden zones, accessible only to a select few, such as the founders and sect leaders.

Ruyou Mountain.

The mountain is high and isolated.

It is said to be the place where the founding patriarch, 'Immortal Guangyuan', once secluded himself for cultivation. Over the years, only the Mountain Wind Ancestor and successive sect leaders have been allowed to enter.

Another example is Flying Phoenix Abyss.

This place is where the sect's Ancestor Skylark cultivated and attained Nirvana. Even the sect leader of the Guangyuan Immortal Sect, the sect's Primordial Spirit True One, and the True Immortal Ancestor are not allowed to enter without the Ancestor's permission.

This day.

The sect leader Zhou Hui and the founder Wang Zhongbai arrived at Flying Phoenix Abyss.

"Zhou Hui (Chongbai) pays respects to the Ancestor."

Upon their arrival, the two bowed deeply to a hazy, illusory figure in the abyss, addressing him as "Ancestor."

"Um."

A response came from the phantom.

The two then got up.

Zhou Hui rarely came here. After he paid his respects, he looked up but could not see the legendary ancestor clearly. However, he could see that behind the ancestor, there were rolling heat waves and raging flames, radiating a scorching aura. Just one glance made him feel that destruction was imminent, which made him feel terrified.

"The Nirvana Flame!"

"I heard from Master Wang that Ancestor Skylark once followed Immortal Guangyuan to cultivate the Phoenix Dao, which enabled him to be reborn from Nirvana. Ancestor Skylark was in Nirvana for many years and rarely walked around the sect. Even Master Wang had only seen him once."

"If we can break through the shackles and take another step forward in this Nirvana, then our Guangyuan Immortal Sect will be much more secure."

As Zhou Hui was thinking this, he heard the voice of Master Wang in his ear.

He looked at Master Wang, who said loudly, "Disciple has obeyed the orders of the Ancestor and has gone to the five major immortal sects: Arhat Temple, Earth Spirit Sect, Five Elements Sect, Gentleman Pavilion, and Peach Blossom Cove. Except for Peach Blossom Cove Village, the other four immortal sects have not given a clear answer, but they have expressed their willingness to cooperate."

The Black Star Realm has been revived, and to this day, there are nine celestial stars, which are divided among the six major immortal sects.

Among them, Arhat Temple Earth Spirit Sect both inherited the traditions of top immortal and Buddhist Sect before the Great Destruction, and have a close relationship with many immortal sects in the Southern Florescence Realm.

The other four major immortal sects, including Guangyuan Immortal Sect, are rising stars, their lineages born from the stars after the Great Destruction.

In the midst of the Great Destruction of the past.

With the Black Star Realm shattered and its status diminished, numerous immortal sects and countless cultivators abandoned it, either ascending to the Earth Immortal Realm Black Star Realm migrating to the Southern Florescence Realm.

The Black Star Realm is now recovering.

The Southern Splendor Immortal Sect is about to make a comeback.

The rise of the six major immortal sects, led by the Guangyuan Immortal Sect, represents a new force. Conflicts with the old immortal sects that migrated to the Southern Florescence Realm, and even other forces within the Southern Florescence Realm, are inevitable due to the resurgence of the Black Star Realm.

"From the perspective of the Nanhua Immortal Sect, it's fine that this realm hasn't recovered yet. But now that the Spiritual Qi is gradually returning to its peak before the Great Destruction, it's undoubtedly a hot commodity for the Nanhua Immortal Sect, with huge benefits."

"Southern Splendor is powerful, with a hundred schools of immortals and Buddhas, and numerous True Immortal, Non-Self reach. If we can unite the other five major immortal sects, we might still have the strength to fight. But if we fight separately, we will definitely be defeated one by one, and it will be difficult to guarantee our Zhou Quan."

Master Wang's eyes flickered with worry.

He was the only Mahayana True Immortal in the Guangyuan Immortal Sect besides Ancestor Mountain Wind. Ancestor Mountain Wind was in seclusion most of the time, Guardian Ancestor Skylark who had undergone Nirvana and rebirth. Most of the affairs of the Immortal Sect were handled by Ancestor Wang.

Therefore.

Master Wang was extremely familiar with the current situation in the Black Star Realm and the Southern Florescence Realm. Comparing the strength and resources of the two sides, he couldn't help but feel worried.

Hearing this, Zhou Hui couldn't help but speak up, "Southern Splendor is powerful. Once it invades our Black Star Realm, it will be difficult to resist with just the strength of one sect. Although Arhat Temple, Earth Spirit Sect and others have deep ties with the Nanhua Immortal Sect, they are still top-tier immortal sects in the Black Star Realm. If Southern Splendor comes, they will definitely have to bow down and submit, and I'm afraid they will be unwilling."

"Not to mention the Five Elements Sect, the Gentleman Pavilion, and others."

"Our immortal sects will benefit from joining forces, and they have no reason to refuse."

Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.

This saying has existed since ancient times and has its own logic.

The Arhat Temple, the Earth Spirit Sect, and other major immortal sects are among the top in the Black Star Realm. Now that they are facing a change, they are probably just like the Guangyuan Immortal Sect, and they are absolutely unwilling to become vassals of the Nanhua Immortal Sect.

After Zhou Hui finished speaking, he and Wang Zushi all looked towards Mountain Wind Laozu.

In phantom.

A powerful voice rang out. "Chongbai will continue to follow up on this matter and must facilitate the alliance as soon as possible. Southern Splendor is poised for action, and we should respond as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Master Wang responded in a deep voice.

Then he led Zhou Hui out of Flying Phoenix Abyss.

In the abyss.

Within the illusion, a figure flickered silently. Only after Master Wang and Zhou Hui emerged from the Flying Phoenix Abyss did the figure slowly rise, facing the raging flames within, and let out a long sigh, "Three thousand nine hundred years. Junior sister, your Nirvana has lasted three thousand nine hundred years. Rebirth is imminent. War will soon break out, and then there will be no more pure lands in the starry sky. Even Luo Jia Mountain will find it difficult to remain unscathed. Your senior brother is worried—"

The sound was heavy, growing fainter and fainter until it gradually disappeared into the depths of the fiery abyss.

"It is indeed thriving."

Lu Qingfeng, as swift as the Maple Moon Star, rushed towards Luo Jia Mountain, his feet treading on Xuanji, and arrived directly at Flying Phoenix Abyss. Despite the numerous arrays and the presence of True Immortal guarding Flying Phoenix Abyss, they could not stop him.

Passing by.

He saw two cultivators from the Guangyuan Immortal Sect. One was at the Primordial Spirit Integration Realm, still quite a distance from the True Immortal Realm. The other was already a True Immortal, though stuck in the first stage of the Resonance Realm, he was still different from ordinary people and possessed considerable Divine Ability.

"If the Black Star Realm is fully restored, it should be almost the same as the Chunshen Realm."

"It's still a little short at this point."

Back when Chunshen had not yet been annexed by the Immortal Qin, the Nine Continents Immortal Sect had dozens of True Immortal. Currently, the Black Star Realm is still inferior to Chunshen, but the Guangyuan Immortal Sect already has two Mahayana True Immortal, which is not much worse than the top immortal sects in the Chunshen Realm.

It can indeed be described as 'prosperous'.

It should be noted that the Mount Yu Sect, which Lu Qingfeng joined back then, was a top immortal sect that dominated a continent and was extremely prosperous, yet it only had three True Immortal Ancestors.

This is evident.

The current state of the Guangyuan Immortal Sect.

After observing the two, Lu Qingfeng nodded slightly. The Guangyuan Immortal Sect in the Black Star Realm was something he had casually established. He had cultivated in the starry sky for three thousand years and then never bothered with it.

Who would have thought that it would unintentionally become such a behemoth?

"Mountain Wind".

"Skylark."

When Lu Qingfeng arrived at Flying Phoenix Abyss, he saw the flames in the abyss, the phantom figures Guardian the flames without moving an inch, and heard a faint sigh. Thoughts welled up in his heart, and a faint joy filled his heart. He opened his mouth and called out.

"Um?!"

In the phantom, an old man with white hair and beard, his body hunched over, suddenly heard the voice and his heart trembled.

More than 100,000 years have passed, and it has been a long time since anyone has called him by that name.

The voice is familiar.

He even forgot to be surprised, and suddenly stood up, his figure flashing as he rushed out of the illusion and arrived at the place where the sound came from.

That one glance.

Then a handsome young man stood there.

The old man watched quietly, noticing the smile on the boy's face. That smile, that expression, was both strange and strangely familiar. For a moment, it seemed—

"Master?"

The Mountain Wind murmured, stunned, and stood frozen in place. As the sound faded, then—

Wow!

Flames blazed fiercely within Flying Phoenix Abyss, trembling incessantly. The flames seemed to possess a life of their own, caught up in an overwhelming surge of emotion after witnessing human affairs.

In an instant.

The flames seemed to be receding, or perhaps about to dissipate.

"Skylark!"

The Mountain Wind startled.

This Nirvana is crucial. The slightest deviation could lead to failure, but that's secondary. Being completely consumed by the Nirvana Flame and never being able to be reborn is truly terrifying.

At this moment, the Nirvana Flame were flickering incessantly, clearly indicating that the Skylark's mind was agitated, triggering an inner demon.

"This is bad!"

Mountain Wind was in a great hurry, his Law Power surged, and he was about to take action.

But Lu Qingfeng made the first move.

With a flick of his sleeve, a clear light illuminated the flames, instantly calming them. Then, he said gently, "May you be reborn in Nirvana."

"Call!"

Upon seeing the Mountain Wind, he felt reassured and breathed a sigh of relief.

Let's take another look at Lu Qingfeng.

His gaze fell on the flames in the abyss, and he saw four colors inside, with a fifth color gradually appearing to be forming.

"Nine-Colored Phoenix".

"Is this the fifth Nirvana?"

Lu Qingfeng turned to look at Mountain Wind and asked.

"Yes."

The Mountain Wind seemed somewhat dull and dazed.

Lu Qingfeng nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Then.

He spent two lifetimes in the Black Star Realm. In his second lifetime, he Enlightenment two mountain birds and beasts in the Polarity Star, who became Mountain Wind and Skylark. This was the first time he had used the "Enlightenment" technique on others after he had cultivated the Yellow Court Scripture to the Third Layer and mastered it.

From then on.

Inspired by the Mountain Wind Skylark, he followed Lu Qingfeng in cultivation until Lu Qingfeng went far away into the starry sky.

From beginning to end.

Although Lu Qingfeng did not accept the two as his disciples, he treated them no differently than his other disciples, such as Lin Feng.

Since the Skylark was a bird, Lu Qingfeng taught her the "Nine-Colored Phoenix Art." This was a method he obtained from the Evergreen Realm, and after being strengthened, it had become Orthodox-Grade Cultivation Method. When cultivated to its peak, it could lead to the attainment of the Earth Immortal Dao Fruit, which was extraordinary.

By practicing this method, one can experience the ninefold Nirvana.

Each rebirth brings a significant boost to both cultivation level and bloodline. Once nine rebirths are completed, one can ascend to the Earth Immortal Fruit Position and even reach the pinnacle of Changsheng.

The Skylark was originally an ordinary bird in the mountains, but now, after its fifth rebirth, it is on the verge of becoming True Immortal.

This shows the power and effectiveness of this method.

Only--

"The Nirvana is perilous, with internal demonic attacks and the threat of natural and man-made disasters. A strong protector must stay by your side at all times."

"Avoid disturbing your peace of mind."

Seeing the flames begin to fluctuate again, Lu Qingfeng spoke, and a Green Bamboo Staff appeared in his hand. He gently waved it at the flames, and immediately his Six Roots Purified and his six consciousnesses were silenced. The flames also calmed down and stopped surging.

The Mountain Wind was seen.

While his eyes showed surprise, he was also completely relieved. He Guardian the Skylark's Nirvana five times and knew the Nirvana process better than anyone. Now, the Nirvana Flame was surging fiercely inside, but appeared calm as water on the outside, which was the most stable state of Nirvana.

The inner demons cannot invade.

External calamities will not befall us.

Nirvana is only a matter of time.

"Nirvana is indeed dangerous."

"With my protection, even the first seven levels of Nirvana are nothing to worry about."

Lu Qingfeng chuckled to himself.

The mere fifth nirvana was not enough to deter him.

After doing all this.

Lu Qingfeng turned around and saw Mountain Wind following closely behind him, his old face showing a complicated expression. He just stared at him blankly, opening his mouth but unable to utter a word.

More than 100,000 years have passed.

Seeing Lu Qingfeng again, the impact on the Mountain Wind was really too great.

Even though he is now a highly respected ancestor of the Guangyuan Immortal Sect and Mahayana True Immortal, the man before him is the one who inspired his wisdom, guided him into the path of cultivation, and passed on his Cultivation Method and Divine Ability.

My longing is deep.

Upon their unexpected reunion, Mountain Wind felt somewhat awkward and at a loss for words.

Why are you so reserved?

Lu Qingfeng looked at the Mountain Wind and couldn't help but smile.

I also felt a sense of emotion.

At first.

He encountered a cheetah in the forest, a stroke of good fortune. At that moment, the cheetah was bewildered and unable to speak, yet it let out a soft cry, its eyes gleaming with excitement as two streams of tears rolled down its cheeks.

Looking at Lu Qingfeng, he suddenly knelt down on the ground, nodding his head repeatedly as if in worship.

From then on.

He then became Lu Qingfeng's disciple.

Years have passed.

Once a naive mountain beast, after transforming into human form, it had thick eyebrows and big eyes, looking like a headstrong young man, fearless of the Mountain Wind. However, it could not withstand the ravages of time and became the weathered old man it is today, with even its body hunched over.

Mountain Wind stared at Lu Qingfeng for a long time before finally snapping out of his daze.

"Master--"

Choking back sobs, Mountain Wind's knees buckled, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud, his shoulders heaving.

"A dignified patriarch in such a state is bound to make him a laughingstock."

Lu Qingfeng helped Mountain Wind up.

But the latter's eyes were already red and his face was covered in tears.
