"Hoo..."
"What a Killing Sword Dao."
"If I could fully comprehend this Killing Sword Dao, I might even forge a body of the Law of Swordsmanship and attain Hunyuan. Even those six probably couldn't create such a method, could they? But Master..."
In the square.
Yun Zhongzi was deeply shaken.
His teacher—a Mystic Immortal?
Such a sword path was rare even among the Innate God-Demons of that era.
To have the fortune to become his disciple...
This was his blessing!!
"I must go thank Master..."
Yun Zhongzi hurried toward the pavilion where Qingyuan was, bowed deeply, and said, "Disciple thanks Master for bestowing the technique!"
"You are my disciple; of course I will teach you with all my heart."
Qingyuan was drinking tea in the pavilion. He called Yun Zhongzi in to join him, smiling warmly. "Have you grown accustomed to life on Kunlun Mountains all these years?"
"Reporting to Master, life on Kunlun Mountains is very comfortable. Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are as plentiful as ox hair, and blessed caves and paradise lands are countless. Kunlun Mountains truly deserves to be called the number one sacred land of the Primordial Wilderness!"
Yun Zhongzi sighed with genuine emotion.
Then.
The two began to chat.
They spoke of amusing cultivation anecdotes, sights from the Primordial Wilderness, and later discussed the Nine Revolutions Primordial Art and cultivation insights.
When talking about the Nine Revolutions Primordial Art, Qingyuan could still guide Yun Zhongzi.
But when it came to cultivation realm experience, it was entirely Yun Zhongzi speaking while Qingyuan listened.
Yun Zhongzi spoke at great length.
Suddenly realizing his impropriety, he quickly begged forgiveness, but Qingyuan laughed and helped him up. "The Way is heard in order, and skills have their specializations. Three Walkers, One Must Be My Teacher. In other areas, you are also my teacher. Why be so modest?"
"The Way is heard in order, and skills have their specializations?"
"Three Walkers, One Must Be My Teacher?"
Yun Zhongzi was stunned, finding the words divine.
A mere Mystic Immortal possessing a saint's state of mind and insight—he was surely destined for great things!
In the Primordial Wilderness, he would definitely be a hegemon!!
"Speaking of which, I'm also curious about the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures around here. Disciple, would you tell me?"
Qingyuan asked curiously about the treasures Yun Zhongzi had mentioned being as plentiful as ox hair.
He had become a disciple of Sect Master Tongtian and traveled a small area nearby, but he rarely saw any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures or immortal mountains and blessed lands. How could Yun Zhongzi talk about treasures as if they were just lying around for the taking?
After hearing Yun Zhongzi's account.
Qingyuan was also stunned, deeply realizing that Yun Zhongzi's title as the True Immortal of Fortune and Virtue was no exaggeration.
It turned out that when Yun Zhongzi traveled Kunlun Mountains, he would casually land in a place just as a million-year-old great medicine was ripening, with the guardian beast nowhere to be found, allowing him to easily pick it.
If he randomly found a river to drink from, it would be spring water flowing from a blessed land, and when he went to check, it was ownerless.
Things like this were too numerous to count...
It was entirely that Yun Zhongzi didn't even want them, yet Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Immortal Gold Divine Materials, would come knocking on their own, insisting on being taken...
Seeing Qingyuan's curiosity about such matters.
Yun Zhongzi also recounted his travels over the years.
At the same time, he marveled, "Master, while traveling nearby, I encountered a creature. Quite fierce—only at Mid-stage Profound Immortal, yet it could Overturn Rivers and Seas, control water naturally, and its water techniques were quite formidable. Very troublesome."
"I was originally craving the Creamy Lotus Root in Moon River Bay, but I was driven off by that Water Demon."
"I tried several times, but couldn't seize the lotus root."
Qingyuan became intrigued. "Oh? A Profound Immortal dares to act fierce before you? What does it look like?"
"Strange to say, this Water Demon resembles an ape, but it's majestic in appearance—white head, green body, Fiery Golden Eyes, a hundred zhang tall, with an extremely long neck, strength surpassing dragons and elephants, and in the water, it merges with the river itself. Fighting it is like fighting an entire river!"
Yun Zhongzi praised, "I'm afraid that even at the Profound Immortal realm, without using my treasures or techniques, I couldn't subdue this demon."
But after hearing this.
Qingyuan was somewhat startled.
These features—wasn't this Wuzhiqi, the demon king of the human territory during the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?
In later ages.
After the Three Sovereigns, during Emperor Yu's time.
In the Huai River, a demon claiming to be the Huai River Calamity Water God established a dragon palace, recruited over a hundred thousand mountain spirits and water monsters to occupy the Huai River region, and with formidable strength, took over the waters of the Nine Provinces to build dragon palaces and compete for resources. Later, it even fought against Emperor Yu, savage without bound.
Unfortunately, he lost.
He was suppressed at the foot of Turtle Mountain.
What happened afterward, no one knows.
But how did Wuzhiqi come to Kunlun Mountains?
"Your master will go with you to Moon River Bay to have a look. I am also curious what ability this Water Demon possesses to earn such praise from you."
Qingyuan put away the tea set.
He followed Yun Zhongzi as they hurried outside.
The two rode clouds and drove mist for seventy to eighty million li before finally arriving at the edge of a boundless river.
This great river was called Moon River Bay by Yun Zhongzi because its shape resembled a crescent moon.
But as for its boundaries, they were limitless, nearly as vast and expansive as a Minor World. The creatures within the river were also endless—fish and snakes swam, birds and beasts hunted—forming a dazzling and magnificent natural landscape.
Seeing this scene.
Qingyuan was not surprised.
In this era, the Primordial World was too vast; every blade of grass and every tree contained a Minor World.
It was said that a Golden Immortal could spend an entire lifetime and still fail to traverse the Primordial World.
Even a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal would have to expend a long, long time to finish the journey, and even then, it wasn't guaranteed.
In this era, what place didn't have a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal?
Ferocious beasts also roamed everywhere.
The possibility of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal falling was not low.
If this Water Demon relied on the Moon River Bay, which was as vast as a Minor World, as its foundation, it would indeed be very difficult for Yun Zhongzi, who was only at the True Immortal Realm Early Stage, to win.
"Master, you don't know this, but the Creamy Lotus Root in this river can nourish the Primordial Spirit and physical body after consumption, with boundless wondrous uses. That's why I've come here time and again to beg for the lotus root, only to be blocked by that Water Demon."
Yun Zhongzi sighed repeatedly.
"Your disciple's fortune is not shallow."
Qingyuan sighed with emotion.
To stumble upon such a spiritual medicine while just wandering around?
All the time he had lived in Kunlun Mountains had truly been wasted.
Then.
Yun Zhongzi went to issue a challenge.
Boom!!
The Moon River Bay exploded. The river rolled, monstrous waves crashed against the shore, and white waves and river water surged into a thousand-zhang-high giant wave, carrying an ape upon it.
This ape was a hundred zhang tall, with broad shoulders and a thick waist. Its eyes were golden as if with rainbow light, a white head, a green body, and sharp teeth and a pointed mouth. The moment it appeared, thunder and lightning flashed, and a fierce wind howled, revealing such a ferocious and vicious posture!
"You thieving scoundrel, you dare come to steal lotus roots again?"
Wuzhiqi saw Yun Zhongzi and flew into a rage: "So what if you found a Mystic Immortal helper? I am also a Mystic Immortal!!"
"Even if you find a hundred or a thousand Mystic Immortals, I am not afraid!"
Even if Wuzhiqi was boasting.
But as long as he was in the water, even an ordinary Golden Immortal might not necessarily be able to catch him.
"If I can capture you in your water, what then?"
Qingyuan couldn't help but smile.
If it were his former self, even a hundred or a thousand of him might not have been able to catch Wuzhiqi once he dove into the water, but now, a hundred or a thousand Wuzhiqi wouldn't be able to escape!
"What did you say?"
Wuzhiqi was stunned for a moment, then burst into wild laughter: "Hahahahaha, what a joke!"
"If you can capture me in the water, kill me or slice me up as you please. But if you can't catch me, do you dare agree to one condition of mine?"
"What condition?" Qingyuan asked curiously.
On the crest of a wave.
Wuzhiqi stood atop the heavy river waves, unruly and untamed: "You, help me find the Jie Sect. I want to become a disciple under a Saint."
