The Past Recounted, the Four Disciples' Whereabouts
Luo Jia Mountain.
Flying Phoenix Abyss.
Lu Qingfeng and Mountain Wind sat facing each other, reminiscing about the past and present. After a long while, Lu Qingfeng had a general understanding of the situation of the Guangyuan Immortal Sect, Mountain Wind Skylark, and Lin Feng's four disciples after Shan Feng left.
When he left.
Guangyuan Immortal Sect is already the number one immortal sect on Maple Moon Star, surpassing the three top immortal sects, Upper Origin Palace, Azure Cloud Sect, and Great Sumeru Temple, and has many True Person.
Lin Feng's four disciples, as well as Mountain Wind Skylark, all achieved the Core Formation True Person.
The Battle of the Polarity Star.
One hundred and fifty years later.
Lu Qingfeng, with his Six Wings, ventured into the starry sky in search of a way out, but ultimately became lost in the vast expanse of space and died of old age.
After he left.
Lin Feng and his four disciples followed suit, each stepping into the starry sky in search of a path to transcendence.
There was no news for a long time after that.
Only the Mountain Wind and the Skylark remained to preside over the Guangyuan Immortal Sect.
Both were born of beasts, making cultivation more difficult, but their advantage lay in their long lifespans. Furthermore, they possessed Orthodox-Grade Cultivation Method and supernatural abilities bestowed upon Divine Ability by Lu Qingfeng. With them stationed on Maple Moon Star, the three sects not only failed to cause any trouble, but also gradually declined under the open and covert suppression of the Guangyuan Immortal Sect.
Maple Moon Star was gradually occupied by the Guangyuan Immortal Sect.
Disciples are among the stars.
Three thousand six hundred years later.
The Guangyuan Immortal Sect is a powerful force that came into contact with another top-tier star outside Maple Moon Star, 'Hundred-Wheel Star', leading to a conflict. On Hundred-Wheel Star, the Hundred-Wheel Sect is formidable, with Primordial Spirit True One presiding over it, Core Formation True Person far surpassing those of the Guangyuan Immortal Sect.
Their foundation and strength are unmatched by Maple Moon Star.
At that time, both Mountain Wind and Skylark were at the peak of the Core Formation. Even when the two joined forces and used their Divine Ability to fight, they could only barely contend with the Primordial Spirit True One of the Hundred-Wheel Sect.
The Guangyuan Immortal Sect suffered repeated defeats.
In a large-scale battle, Mountain Wind Skylark were ultimately no match for the Primordial Spirit. Skylark was severely injured and had to undergo its first Nirvana.
Without Skylark, Mountain Wind alone is no match for the Primordial Spirit True One of the Hundred-Wheel Sect.
Just when it seemed that the Guangyuan Immortal Sect was about to be destroyed, and even Mountain Wind and Skylark were about to perish, Lin Feng and his companions made a powerful return. Each of them was Primordial Spirit True One, and with a single move, they annihilated the Primordial Spirit of the Hundred-Wheel Sect. Afterwards, they took charge of the battle and led the Guangyuan Immortal Sect to occupy Hundred-Wheel Star.
Guangyuan Immortal Sect gained control of two top-tier stars in one fell swoop, and its strength and foundation increased greatly from then on.
"The senior brothers and sisters were traveling through the starry sky when they got lost in a meteor storm. They thought it was a calamity, but it turned out to be a great opportunity. The meteor storm swept them into a strange place with a Spirit Spring that could help people cultivate. The four senior brothers and sisters were trapped in it and cultivated for hundreds of years, eventually advancing to the Nascent Primordial Spirit one by one."
"After her first Nirvana, my junior sister also advanced to the Primordial Spirit."
"I went to that Spirit Spring to cultivate and that's how I broke through to the Primordial Spirit Realm."
"After the eldest brother and the others returned, they searched everywhere for the master and Six Wings Man, but unfortunately the starry sky was vast and they were unable to obtain any news."
"They would be overjoyed to know that the master is well now."
As Mountain Wind reminisced about the past and reflected on the present, his face lit up with excitement. The initial awkwardness and emotion of reuniting with Lu Qingfeng after so long transformed into thrill and joy.
His aged face seemed to have made him look a few years younger.
Even his hunched back straightened a little.
But as she continued, her voice trailed off, "After capturing Hundred-Wheel Star, my senior brothers and sisters searched everywhere for our master. For thousands of years, they traversed almost the entire starry sky. In the end, it was my fourth senior brother who discovered a Black Abyss in the center of the starry sky. That Black Abyss was terrifying, leading to the Nameless. My senior brothers and sisters guessed that our master and Six Wings might have gone to the other side of the Black Abyss through it. So they instructed my junior sister and me to take good care of the Guangyuan Immortal Sect and wait for our master's return before stepping into the Black Abyss. Since then, there has been no news of them."
"I also sent my disciples to the other side of the Black Abyss to investigate, but unfortunately there was no response."
"Over the next tens of thousands of years, a few cultivators emerged from the Black Abyss. Only then did I learn that on the other side of the Black Abyss was a great realm called the 'Southern Florescence Realm'. The Black Abyss was dangerous and difficult to cross. The two realms had not yet truly communicated. Seventy thousand years ago, the Black Abyss underwent a great change and collapsed overnight, never to exist again. The two realms had no contact for a long time afterward."
"However, I suspect that my senior brother and the others are definitely in the Southern Florescence Realm."
Mountain Wind detailed the whereabouts of Lin Feng and the others, interspersed with changes in the two realms and the changing situation.
Although Mountain Wind had some guesses, his brows showed more worry than anything else.
After all, a hundred thousand years had passed, and they were separated by two realms. Mountain Wind couldn't be sure if Lin Feng and his three senior brothers and sisters were still alive. In fact, he harbored even worse suspicions—
If they were still alive, they would surely have achieved True Immortal. With their cultivation as True Immortal and their supernatural Divine Ability, returning from the Southern Florescence Realm to the Black Star Realm should not have been a problem.
But for 100,000 years, they have never returned, and there has been no news of them whatsoever.
"I'm afraid—"
Mountain Wind sighed inwardly.
"Indeed, it is within the Southern Florescence Realm."
Lu Qingfeng listened and nodded slightly.
"Has the master already met with the eldest brother and the others?" Upon hearing this, Mountain Wind's expression immediately brightened.
Lu Qingfeng had shown him great kindness, but Lin Feng and the other three were equally indebted to him. If they hadn't told him where the Spirit Spring was, he would probably have been stuck in the Core Formation stage 100,000 years ago, dying of old age on Maple Moon Star.
Without it, there would be no glory and achievements today.
I had thought that Lin Feng and his companions were in grave danger, but after hearing Lu Qingfeng's words, it seems that this is not the case.
The Mountain Wind was naturally excited and delighted.
"No."
Lu Qingfeng shook his head, and seeing Mountain Wind's expression froze, he added, "I haven't been to the Southern Florescence Realm yet, but I've calculated that Lin Feng and the others are in this realm."
He practiced the 'Seven Birds Lesser Evolving Numerology' and was able to calculate the vast universe.
Although the two realms are separated and the fortune of the Southern Florescence Realm is strange, making it difficult to calculate the exact location, Lin Feng and the other three are, after all, his disciples. Calculating their approximate location and their safety is not a problem.
First arrival in the Black Star Realm.
Lu Qingfeng calculated that Lin Feng and the other three were in the Southern Florescence Realm.
"Very good!"
Upon hearing this, Mountain Wind was overjoyed.
He naturally believed Lu Qingfeng's words without a doubt. A huge weight was finally lifted from his heart.
Lu Qingfeng chuckled and was about to speak when he suddenly looked up, his gaze piercing through Flying Phoenix Abyss and landing on Maple Moon Star.
"Master?"
Seeing Lu Qingfeng's sudden movement, Mountain Wind hesitated.
Immediately afterwards.
His expression changed as well. He looked up at the sky, then looked back at Lu Qingfeng in front of him. "It's Ping Bufan, True Immortal from the Earth Spirit Sect."
"Fellow Daoist Ping, your presence is an honor. I apologize for not being able to welcome you properly."
Maple Moon Star.
Wang Zhongbai leaped into the sky, cupping his fists in greeting to the approaching figure, but a doubt arose in his heart. "I just visited the Earth Spirit Sect a few days ago, and Ping Bufan even used the excuse of seclusion to avoid seeing me. Why is he here today—"
"Was he really in seclusion that day?"
Wang Zhongbai was puzzled, but he didn't show it on his face.
The extraterrestrial being was dressed in a white robe, appeared to be middle-aged, with a chiseled face and flowing long hair, and possessed an extraordinary air, exuding a somewhat otherworldly demeanor.
It was True Immortal from the Earth Spirit Sect, one of the six great immortal sects of the Black Star Realm—
Ping Bufan.
"You're too kind, Fellow Daoist Wang."
Ping Bufan landed outside the starry sky and bowed to Wang Zhongbai.
Wang Zhongbai smiled, gestured, and said, "Fellow Daoist has come from afar, why not come into Luo Jia Mountain for a chat?"
"No rush, no rush."
Ping Bufan laughed loudly and said, "I have been in seclusion for the past few years and feel that my cultivation has greatly improved. People say that Senior Mountain Wind of the Guangyuan Immortal Sect Attainment of the Dao cultivating for 100,000 years and has mastered the supreme method. In terms of earth magic, he surpasses my Earth Spirit Sect. In terms of Body Refinement tempering, he far surpasses Arhat Temple. I am not talented, but I have come here today to learn from you."
These words were spoken.
Wang Zhongbai's face immediately darkened.
"Our ancestor has been in seclusion for many years, detached from worldly affairs, a fact known throughout the land. If you, fellow Daoist, are itching for a match, I, Wang, though unworthy, have also mastered the Supreme Sword Dao of Guangyuan. How about I spar with you?"
Wang Zhongbai stared at Ping Bufan, his eyes turning cold.
This person's arrival was arrogant; his desire to challenge the sect's patriarch was already a provocation and a great breach of etiquette. Wang Zhongbai knew the visitor was up to no good, so he naturally wouldn't greet him with a smile anymore.
A hand emerged from the sleeve, revealing a long sword.
The will to fight is rising.
"You?"
Ping Bufan mouth slightly, a mocking expression on his face. He reached out and a twenty-four-section, earth-yellow hard whip appeared in his hand.
There is no sign of movement.
With a flick of the whip, it lashed down at Wang Zhongbai.
"What a fine Mountain-Driving Whip!"
Wang Zhongbai, sword in hand, looked up and saw the whip lash out, as if the heavens and earth were overturned, and countless mountains pressed down on him. From the surrounding stars, mountain peaks rose from the ground and crashed down fiercely. And then, mountain ranges transformed into ancient divine dragons, roaring as they came.
This is the Earth Spirit Sect's "Mountain-Driving Art".
The Mountain-Driving Whip in Ping Bufan's hand was a treasure of the Earth Spirit Sect before the Great Destruction, comparable to the 'Eight-Scenery Tower' of the Upper Origin Palace —both were top-tier Law Artifact. After Ping Bufan had mastered it, making it incredibly powerful.
Combined with the 'Mountain-Driving Art', it becomes even more formidable.
In terms of strength, Ping Bufan, with the 'Mountain-Driving Whip' in hand, could even rank among the top five, or even the top three, in the Black Star Realm.
Only the old ancestor of the sect, Mountain Wind, is confident that he can overpower him.
It was definitely not something an ordinary True Immortal like Wang Zhongbai, who was stuck in the first stage of Mahayana, could contend with; he certainly had some reason to be arrogant.
"The two patriarchs should not act rashly."
"No refunds!"
As the mountains and peaks surged towards him from all sides, Wang Zhongbai felt as if he were trapped in a quagmire, unable to move. He knew this was the Earth-Pole Elemental Magnetism generated by the 'Mountain-Driving Art'. Once trapped in this technique, the magnetic forces of the surrounding mountains would become entangled and suppress him, making escape virtually impossible.
We dare not be careless.
Wang Zhongbai unleashed a sword strike, unleashing a torrent of Sword Qi. Instantly, twenty-three Sword Qi swept across the void, arranging themselves into a sword array. Once the sword array was activated, the Sword Qi became a river, the endless Sword Qi clashing and annihilating, even causing the Yuan Magnetic Force to waver for a moment, and shattering layer upon layer of mountains.
Taking advantage of the gap.
With a swift movement of his feet, he transformed into a flash of sword light and swept to the side.
Rumble!
As he dodged, mountains crashed down, their roar echoing across the starry sky. Boundless power was unleashed, the aftershocks shattering countless meteorites and stars of all sizes in all directions.
Amidst the smoke and dust.
Ping Bufan smiled and looked at Wang Zhongbai, praising, "As expected of the number one sword sect in the starry sky."
"Snort!"
Wang Zhongbai snorted coldly, but he was not as Ping Bufan. His expression was solemn, and he circulated his Law Power. In his Dantian, a Heart Lamp silently disappeared into the magic sword in his hand.
The magic sword flashed, its power seemingly increasing greatly.
Then.
Before Ping Bufan could close in, Wang Zhongbai made his move first!
