Celestial Master Sa Announces the Decree-A Heavenly Appointment?!

These two brothers.

One is the Great Sage Huangfeng. When he unleashes his Threefold Samadhi Divine Wind, he can both kill enemies and defend himself. He can also create a whirlwind to travel, which is a unique skill in the world.

The other Lu Qingfeng possesses the 'Cloud-Peak Step,' a Supreme Divine Ability. Although he has not yet cultivated it to a high level, its profound mystery surpasses that of the Threefold Samadhi Divine Wind, allowing him to keep up with the speed of the Great Sage Huangfeng.

"Third brother, what amazing supernatural Divine Ability!"

Seeing that Lu Qingfeng was perfectly at ease and his footwork was exquisite, the Great Sage Huangfeng couldn't help but praise him.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingfeng laughed and said, "It can't compare to my elder brother's Threefold Samadhi Divine Wind that startles even immortals and Buddhas."

Indeed.

His Cloud-Peak Step are incredibly powerful for traveling and breaking through formations.

However, in terms of overall strength and combat, even if it is a level higher, it is still far less powerful than the Threefold Samadhi Divine Wind.

"Ha ha!"

Seeing his third brother's modesty, and praising him on his behalf, the Great Sage Huangfeng burst into laughter.

Having escaped Yellow Wind Ridge after countless years of anticipation, Great Sage Huangfeng was finally able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. He felt immensely relieved and was in high spirits.

The two were talking.

Not long after.

Black Wind Mountain is in sight.

The Huangfeng stopped, and the auspicious clouds dispersed.

Lu Qingfeng and Great Sage Huangfeng landed outside Black Wind Mountain, not daring to be presumptuous, and prepared to enter on foot early.

But then they saw a person in the distance, striding towards them.

Lu Qingfeng glanced over.

The man was wearing Hundred-Patch Demon-Subduing Robe, holding Five-Brilliance Ghost-Subduing Fan, and had a smile on his face. He arrived in front of them in a short while.

Judging from their attire.

Lu Qingfeng guessed the man's identity.

Just then, the eldest brother, the Great Sage Huangfeng, also transmitted his voice. "This is Sa Shoujian of the Illuminating Hall."

"Sa Shoujian".

"Master Sa".

Lu Qingfeng thought to himself, 'It really was him.'

Back in the Southern Florescence Realm, he had encountered the lineage of this Master Sa. The leader of the Divine Empyrean Sect in the Southern Florescence Realm wore the Hundred-Patch Demon-Subduing Robe and wielded the Five-Brilliance Ghost-Subduing Fan. However, the one before him was the founder of the Divine Empyrean Sect. Both the Hundred-Patch Demon-Subduing Robe and the Five-Brilliance Ghost-Subduing Fan were genuine, and their power and mystery were far beyond what a leader of a lower realm could match.

"This person—"

Lu Qingfeng looked at this Master Sa, secretly on guard.

Although he and Master Sa had never met, they actually had some grudges against each other.

First, he destroyed his lineage of human cultivation, and then he clashed with Siming Duke Bin Yuanjun of his lineage, which resulted in Siming Duke Bin Yuanjun being demoted to suppress the Evil Dragon Pool for three thousand years.

This grudge is neither a major nor a minor one.

If this Master Sa is petty, it's not impossible that he would come to kick someone when they're down.

Watch quietly.

Then Master Sa came closer and said with a loud laugh, "This humble Sa Shoujian, has been waiting here for the two great saints for a long time."

Lu Qingfeng remained silent.

The Great Sage Huangfeng looked at Master Sa and smiled, "So it's True Person Sa in person. I wonder what brings you here, True Person? If it's important, you should head to Yellow Wind Ridge as soon as possible."

He asked himself if he had any dealings with the Heavenly Court or Sa Shoujian.

This time I saw him.

They also harbored doubts and reservations, unsure whether the other was a friend or foe.

Sa Shoujian clearly sensed the brothers' wariness and also heard the sarcasm in Great Sage Huangfeng Dasheng's words. He didn't take it to heart and simply said, "His Majesty heard that the Great Sage has escaped the cage, so he ordered me to wait here to invite the two Great Sages to heaven to serve as officials."

"The Jade Emperor?"

"To be an official under Heaven?"

Lu Qingfeng and Great Sage Huangfeng exchanged a glance, both of them somewhat taken aback.

Firstly, they were surprised by how well-informed the Jade Emperor was. The two brothers had just defeated Lingji Bodhisattva and the Eighteen Arhats, and the Jade Emperor already knew about it and had sent his Heavenly Master to wait for them.

Secondly, I was also surprised by—

"To become an official?"

What official position would you hold?

The Great Sage Huangfeng shook his head and said to Sa Shoujian, "True Person thank the Jade Emperor for his kindness, but I have neither Merit nor Divine Ability, and I am truly unworthy of this important task."

This is a rejection.

Too.

The Great Sage Huangfeng had spent countless years in Yellow Wind Ridge. Now that he had escaped his predicament, he was about to join the Way of Heaven Sect and live a carefree life. Why would he go to Heaven and suffer some constraints for no reason?

At his level.

Neither celestial officials, star deities, nor Orthodox God held much appeal for him.

Upon hearing this, Sa Shoujian looked at the Great Sage Huangfeng and asked, "Great Sage, won't you ask what your esteemed position is?"

"I have no intention of becoming an official; I thank the Jade Emperor for his favor."

The Great Sage Huangfeng shook his head again.

Sa Shoujian frowned slightly and looked at Lu Qingfeng beside him.

Lu Qingfeng waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "I have no intention of becoming an official."

"Oh?"

"Wasn't the Pure Great Sage previously a general in the Heaven-Watching Marshal's Manor? How come—"

Sa Shoujian feigned surprise and doubt.

"..."

Lu Qingfeng was taken aback, inwardly cursing this True Person Sa.

He had almost forgotten about this.

But.

He initially joined the Heaven-Watching Marshal's Manor as a general for two reasons: first, to cultivate his skills, and second, to search for the Immortal Qin Realm and the whereabouts of Ao Le.

At this time Immortal Dao, he had already achieved Changsheng and reunited with Ao Le.

The divine positions in Heavenly Court are dispensable.

It is readily available.

So it won't be too rare.

Furthermore,

Don't be fooled by his current status as a Golden Immortal Dao with boundless divine power.

But his own family knows their own situation.

His cultivation is all a facade, and it could vanish without a trace at any moment. If the Jade Emperor were to bestow a high position upon him, the awkward situation of his cultivation declining and his virtue not matching his rank would be secondary.

But if something goes wrong on the Dao Path, that would be truly fatal.

Lu Qingfeng valued his life highly and was unwilling to take such a risk.

"Times change."

"Now that I, the Great Sage, have clearly understood the Dao Path cultivation, I am single-mindedly focused on cultivation and have no other thoughts."

Seeing that Sa Shoujian was mocking him, Lu Qingfeng didn't hold back and flatly refused.

"In that case..."

"This humble Daoist priest will now ascend to Heaven and report to Your Majesty."

Having received permission, Sa Shoujian did not press the matter further, bid farewell, and left immediately.

He didn't really want those two to go to heaven.

Especially the Great Sage Huangfeng.

Given his Divine Ability, once he ascends to heaven, he will likely surpass even the most powerful.

Why bother?!

Routine procedure.

Since both of them are determined not to accept official positions, that's all the better.

Lu Qingfeng and Great Sage Huangfeng watched as Sa Shoujian returned to the Heavenly Court.

The latter laughed and said, "There are countless powerful beings in the Heavenly Court, but only a few obey the Jade Emperor's orders. Since King Li betrayed the Buddhist Sect and was beheaded on the Immortal-Slaying Platform, the Third Prince has returned to his original form, Little Sage Erlang obeys orders but not summons. Where can the Jade Emperor find anyone useful? He can only search Three Realms for talent."

Great Sage Huangfeng shook his head.

Lu Qingfeng also understood.

The Jade Emperor must have been paying attention to his elder brother for a long time, but he was wary of the Buddhist Sect and had not yet recruited him.

Seeing his elder brother clashing with Lingji Bodhisattva, and having foreseen that after escaping, he would surely seek refuge at Black Wind Mountain, he dispatched Sa Shoujian to stake out the area. If his elder brother truly possessed the ability to escape, he would invite him to serve as an official in Heaven. If he failed to escape, then all would be left to rest, and neither side would be held accountable.

As for Lu Qingfeng...

Perhaps it's just an extra.

Lu Qingfeng chuckled and said to Great Sage Huangfeng, "If you were to ascend to heaven, you would surely be granted the title of Heavenly King."

With his elder brother's Divine Ability Threefold Samadhi Divine Wind, if his subordinates were to be aided by heavenly soldiers and generals, his power would likely be no less than that of the Pagoda-Bearing King Li.

And.

Great Sage Huangfeng is all alone, with no background, making him the easiest target for the Jade Emperor to control. With a little nurturing, he could become a loyal follower.

If it's an official position, how could it be considered a small one?

"The Jade Emperor has a clever plan."

"I was just tired of staying in Yellow Wind Ridge, and I didn't want to be trapped in the Heavenly Court so soon after I came out."

The Great Sage Huangfeng smiled, not mentioning the matter, glanced at Black Wind Mountain ahead, and said to Lu Qingfeng, "We should hurry and pay our respects at the mountain."

Immediately.

Lu Qingfeng and Great Sage Huangfeng walked for about ten miles before arriving at the foot of the mountain. There stood a mountain gate with the words "Black Wind Mountain" written on it, which was the location of the Black Wind Mountain gate.

The two arrived.

On either side of the mountain gate, there were generals stationed, all of them tall and imposing, with extraordinary presence.

Upon seeing Lu Qingfeng and his companion, the guard stepped forward and questioned them, "Who are you? State your names!"

Black Wind Mountain was once Human Path.

Even after the calamity, when the Sage disappeared, this Daoist Domain has always been the secluded cultivation site of the young leader of the Way of Heaven Sect. It is both transcendent and noble, and naturally, no unauthorized people are allowed to enter or leave at will.

When Lu Qingfeng was out in public, he always respected Great Sage Huangfeng, so he looked at his elder brother.

The Great Sage Huangfeng stepped forward, cupped his hands to the mountain-guarding general, and said, "I am Huangfeng Wind Daoist of Yellow Wind Ridge, and this is my third brother, Pure Daoist, Attainment of the Dao from a Pure Law Bamboo in Black Wind Mountain. He has now achieved success in his cultivation and has come to pay his respects to the young master."

At the Black Wind Mountain.

Even Huangfeng dared not call himself the Great Sage, but only referred to himself as a Daoist.

I apologize for the intrusion.

There must be a reason.

So they tried to build a relationship with Lu Qingfeng by talking about his background, so as not to be kicked out of the mountain gate.

This was also Great Sage Huangfeng's original idea.

Lu Qingfeng listened from the side and saw that the mighty Great Sage Huangfeng was quite respectful to the two mountain-guarding gods, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Remaining silent.

Upon hearing this, the two generals guarding the mountain both turned their gazes to Lu Qingfeng: "The Pure Law Bamboo Attainment of the Dao enlightenment? There is indeed a bamboo forest in Black Wind Mountain, where many Pure Law Bamboo grow. But in thousands of years, we have never heard of any bamboo cultivating and Attainment of the Dao. Are you trying to deceive us?"

Great Sage Huangfeng looked at Lu Qingfeng.

Lu Qingfeng didn't say much, only saying, "Generals, please observe."

At present.

With a sway of its body, it transforms into its true form, which is a lush Green Bamboo with swaying branches and leaves.

These two have lived in the mountains for a long time and have naturally seen the Pure Law Bamboo.

This meeting.

No more doubts.

Instead, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he said in a daze, "This thing can really communicate with spirits and cultivate?"

Splash!

Lu Qingfeng withdrew his true form. Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but twitch his lips, but suppressed it and said, "Would it be possible to trouble the two generals to inform them?"

The two generals then fell silent.

They exchanged a glance, and one of the white-faced generals said, "Since it is Pure Law Bamboo Attainment of the Dao, there is naturally no problem. You two wait here for now, and I will go and report to the Patriarch."

The words fell.

They entered the mountain gate and headed straight into the mountains.

The Great Sage Huangfeng's face lit up with joy, but when he turned to look at Lu Qingfeng, his expression became somewhat awkward. "Third brother, I—"

Lu Qingfeng looked at this 'big brother'.

Now...

He naturally understood why the mighty Great Sage Huangfeng would become sworn brothers with him, a True Immortal Little Bamboo Immortal.

You need to know.

For a figure of Great Sage Huangfeng's caliber...

Let alone the small, Pure Law Bamboo Attainment of the Dao attained enlightenment, even if Lu Qingfeng's Seven-Treasure Gourd had cultivated to become an immortal, it might not have caught his eye.

A powerful Golden Immortal.

Even Celestial Immortal are considered as slightly larger ants; only those of equal status are entitled to be treated equally.

Whether one attains enlightenment through the Pure Law Bamboo or the Seven-Treasure Gourd Attainment of the Dao, achieving the Golden Immortal is extremely difficult.

For Earth Immortal and Celestial Immortal, that's an extraordinary background.

For Golden Immortal.

That's nothing.

However, Great Sage Huangfeng, became sworn brothers with him, who was merely True Immortal, and thereafter devoted himself to taking good care of him.

Is there any love in this world that comes without a reason?

Only--

"My elder brother has treated me well; there's no need for further explanation."

Lu Qingfeng smiled at Great Sage Huangfeng, completely unconcerned.

Please vote for me!
