The Temptation of Homecoming

The imminent threat posed by the extraordinary treasure, the True Seeker Mirror, forced Zhou Yang to alter his original plans and remain within Donghua Immortal City.

Only now did he learn that his safe escape a century ago had been because True Person Tongxuan, the holder of that treasure, had happened to be away from the Cultivation World of the Donghua Continent on a journey.

In fact, Ling Chao had only truly made up his mind to help him back then because he knew this news.

Now that True Person Tongxuan had returned from his travels to the Cultivation World of the Donghua Continent, Zhou Yang naturally could no longer cling to such wishful luck.

Thus, under Ling Chao's introduction, he accompanied him up Donghua Immortal Mountain and met Ling Zixu, the Palace Lord of Donghua Immortal Palace.

When Zhou Yang fled the Cultivation World of the Donghua Continent a century ago, he had once met one of Ling Zixu's incarnations.

That incarnation had possessed Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivation. With its assistance, the sealing restrictions Lou Feifeng had planted on Jiang Fengxian and Jiang Yufeng had been removed.

Now, he finally saw the true face of this great cultivator at the Nascent Soul Ninth Layer.

Ling Zixu's true appearance differed somewhat from the incarnation Zhou Yang had seen before. He looked considerably older, yet also far more imposing and powerful.

Zhou Yang could not help comparing him with Lu Xuanji, the great cultivator of the same realm whom he had once known best. He found that Ling Zixu gave him an even stronger impression than Lu Xuanji.

Of course, that was only his impression. When Lu Xuanji had still been alive, Zhou Yang had only been at the Golden Core Stage, so that feeling might not have been accurate.
