Great Luo Heavenly Immortal

Lian Sheng Dao Origin had already withdrawn into his body, and the arrogance in his eyes had vanished.

Since joining Crane-Clumsy Peak, he has never lost so decisively in battles against those within the same realm.

Cheng Shuangtian's expression was even more unpleasant than Lian Sheng's.

His gaze did not fall on his distraught disciple, but rather on the young figure in the clouds.

Those usually calm eyes were now brimming with undisguised astonishment.

"Jade Tiger Sea-Reversing Sword Light?"

He murmured those words to himself.

He had never seen the sword light with his own eyes, but he had heard of it countless times.

The Thunder Thunder-Hiding Sword Canon of the Thunder Pool Jade Tiger Marquis lineage is an ultimate killing technique. Even ordinary cultivators who dedicate their entire lives to mastering it rarely reach the Subtle Insight level.

The Jade Tiger Sea-Reversing Sword Light is the most profound and mysterious first-level sword intent in the Thunder-Hiding Sword Canon Mystic Realm Sword Scripture, far more difficult than ordinary Mystic Realm Divine Ability.

To cultivate that kind of sword light, one must not only have an extraordinary Root Bone in swordsmanship, but also be deeply immersed in the path of Thunder Method. Only amidst the surging thunder and the majestic power of heaven can one glimpse the True Intention of the "rebellious sea".

Even within the main sect of Thunder Pool, only a handful of the younger generation can master this sword technique.

But this little-known junior brother from Deer-Sleeping Peak...

He actually cultivated such superb sword Divine Ability.

"The Spirit-Bearing Daoist... but whose name is unknown?"

When did such a person appear on Deer-Sleeping Peak?

Cheng Shuangtian's thoughts raced, but no matter what he did, he couldn't find a single memory of this person.

At that moment, Shen Xiu'an, who was usually stern and was known as "Iron-Faced Senior Brother" by the disciples of Deer-Sleeping Peak, surprisingly showed a smile on his usually cold and hard face.

"Brother Cheng," Shen Xiu'an said, still standing on the cloud, "As you just mentioned, our Dragon-Offering Sect has always spoken with strength. The fortuitous opportunity to Suspended-Qi Fruit Projection should rightfully belong to whoever is stronger."

He paused slightly, his gaze shifting to the figure slowly withdrawing the lightning around him.

"Now, my junior brother Spirit Bearer is much stronger than your disciple Lian Sheng."

But I don't know, brother, what should we do then?

Cheng Shuangtian remained silent.

A strong wind swept through the two of them, stirring up wisps of drifting clouds that then floated away into the distance.

Finally, Cheng Shuangtian took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, slowly raised his hand, and bowed deeply to Shen Xiu'an.

"This Suspended-Qi Fruit Projection is far too important to my disciple."

"Brother Daoist... Rong Cheng Shuangtian is rude."

After saying this, without waiting for Shen Xiu'an's reply, he straightened up and turned to walk towards Lian Sheng, who was still standing on the marble, Lian Sheng lost and dejected.

He reached out and extended his Dao Origin, enveloping Lian Sheng, and rode away on the clouds.

The two figures gradually disappeared into the churning sea of clouds on the horizon, leaving no trace.

Only after the two figures completely disappeared into the horizon did the heavy atmosphere that had been hanging over Deer-Sleeping Peak seem to be eased.

The gaze of the six palace masters, hidden behind the sea of clouds, quietly faded away at that moment.

The disciples in the Spirit-Nurturing Hall were still in a daze.

That battle just now came too quickly and went too quickly.

Many disciples hadn't even had time to witness the clash of Divine Ability before Lian Sheng of Crane-Clumsy Peak had already fallen into the sea of clouds.

"So this mysterious junior uncle... is actually this strong?"

"Lian Sheng is someone who has made it onto the Dragon-Transformation Immortal Ranking."

Quiet whispers arose among the disciples, only to be quickly silenced by each of them.

However, the gazes directed at Chen Lingxi now held a greater sense of awe and curiosity.

Chen Lingxi seemed oblivious to those gazes.

"My... my senior brother is going to fight for that projection fortuitous opportunity of the Suspended-Qi Fruit Projection for me?"

He stood on the cloud, about to speak and ask Shen Xiu'an about the fortuitous opportunity to Suspended-Qi Fruit Projection.

Before he could speak, Shen Xiu'an turned around and nodded slightly at him.

Then, the moment Shen Xiu'an nodded, his figure transformed into a Sword Qi and vanished into the world in an instant.

Only a faint, fine trail of sword light remained, flashing briefly where it had just stood before being swept away by the wind, leaving no trace.

"This Senior Brother Shen's personality is really too strange."

Chen Lingxi was surprised.

Just then, a wisp of cloud rose from the mountainside, arriving extremely quickly, reaching him in the blink of an eye.

The clouds dispersed, revealing a pretty figure.

It was Yuan Lingyu.

Today she wore a pale yellow gauze dress, her eyebrows curved, and her eyes were as bright as two pearls just scooped from the Morning-Dew Lake. At this moment, she was looking at Chen Lingxi with surprise and joy, her face still flushed with the tension from the battle just now.

"Senior brother!" she exclaimed, her voice brimming with barely suppressed surprise, "So you also cultivate swordsmanship? How come I've never heard you mention it before?"

Her eyes shone with an astonishing brightness, almost as if she were leaning close to Chen Lingxi.

Chen Lingxi was slightly taken aback by her enthusiasm, but remained calm and simply said, "It's just an ordinary Divine Ability, nothing special."

"Senior brother is just flattering me again." Yuan Lingyu pouted, but didn't argue with him. She just smiled and said, "And your Thunder-Prison Heaven Divine Ability is so extraordinary in its Killing Power."

Chen Lingxi was momentarily at a loss for words, and simply nodded slightly.

Yuan Lingyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she smiled and said, "Senior brother, the weather is perfect today, and I still have some good things stored up in my cave abode."

"The rosy clouds gathered from Flowing-Radiance Mountain, the morning dew collected from Morning-Dew Lake, and half a mutton that I couldn't bear to eat—perfect for stewing to celebrate."

Looking into her expectant eyes, Chen Lingxi recalled how this junior sister had been busy taking care of him since he joined Deer-Sleeping Peak, from arranging his cave abode dwelling to tailoring his robes, and she couldn't bear to go against her wishes, so she nodded.

When Yuan Lingyu saw that he agreed, her eyes lit up with a smile, and she pulled him by the sleeve and headed towards her cave abode.

The cave abode overlooked a clear stream, with a half-curtain of wisteria hanging at the entrance, and a warm, inviting light emanating from deep within the wisteria.

Yuan Lingyu worked inside for a long time and indeed prepared a table of steaming hot food.

The mutton stewed until tender, with a clear broth and a few wisps of rosy light from Flowing-Radiance Mountain floating on the surface, giving it a very faint golden hue. One bite, and your mouth is filled with the sweet and refreshing taste of Spiritual Qi.

The tea brewed with morning dew was even more refreshing; upon tasting it, one felt a cool sensation travel from the throat down to the Dantian, even invigorating the Dao Origin within the Qi Sea.

Chen Lingxi and Yuan Lingyu sat facing each other, chatting about the things that had evolved from [Fate-Evolving Purple Radiance].

During the meal, Yuan Lingyu poured him tea and suddenly said, "Senior brother, with such excellent sword Root Bone and having cultivated such Killing Power Divine Ability, it's a pity that you always stay cooped up on Deer-Sleeping Peak."

Chen Lingxi put down her teacup and looked at her. "What do you mean by that, Junior Sister?"

"Senior brother, have you ever heard of the Dragon-Transformation Immortal Ranking?" Yuan Lingyu asked. "It's in the eyes of the Profound Dragon statue at the Dragon-Offering Main Sect."

If a disciple of the Dragon-Offering Sect can enter the Immortal Ranking and have their name on the list, they will receive an extraordinary spiritual reward.

That spiritual energy refines the Dao Platform and nourishes the Profound Root, far surpassing ordinary breathing techniques.

"I observe that my senior brother has already reached the Wondrous Fruit realm. If he can make it onto the list, he will likely be able to advance another step very soon."

Chen Lingxi listened, a glint in her eyes, about to ask more questions.

Just then...

Suddenly, a dragon's roar echoed from the sky.

The dragon's roar was like a muffled thunderclap rolling across the sky, shaking the vegetation on the entire Deer-Sleeping Peak and even causing the phantom of the Divine Deer hanging high in the Void to sway slightly.

The smile on Yuan Lingyu's face vanished abruptly.

Almost instinctively, she stood up, straightened her robes, faced the direction from which the dragon's roar came, and bowed respectfully.

At the same time, a Divine Sense emanated from between her brows and landed beside Chen Lingxi's ear. "Senior brother, quickly get up and pay your respects!"

Chen Lingxi felt a slight chill and dared not be negligent. She stood up as well and, following Yuan Lingyu's example, bent down facing the Void.

Just then, the clouds and mist in the sky began to churn and surge, like boiling water in a pot.

Deep within the clouds and mist, a phantom of a true dragon appeared and disappeared, its head held high, its eyes half-closed, and its scales shimmering with an indescribable, mysterious light.

The illusory figure never looked down at anyone, but just by hovering there, its overwhelming dragon might silenced the heavens and earth, and even made the Thunder Prison Thunder-Prison Profound Root in Chen Lingxi's heart tremble slightly involuntarily.

At the same time, out of the corner of Chen Lingxi's eye, she noticed that a magnificent celestial chariot was slowly approaching from within the surging clouds.

The celestial chariot was made of an unknown material, its radiance so dazzling that even the sun and moon paled in comparison.

Before the celestial chariot, the clouds retreated on their own, as if even heaven and earth were making way for it.

Seated atop the celestial carriage were two extremely young figures, a man and a woman.

Both of them had two horns on their heads, and their faces were as smooth as jade, gleaming with a warm luster in the sunlight.

Their faces were as white as jade, and their handsomeness was almost unreal, like two statues of gods that had been deliberately sculpted to be flawless, without the slightest imperfection.

As the man and woman in the celestial chariot appeared, an unimaginable and terrifying aura was revealed at that moment.

That aura wasn't deliberately emanating, yet it possessed a natural, oppressive quality that left no room for resistance.

A thought, one that Chen Lingxi had never felt before, welled up within her: she wanted to kneel down.

Such thoughts almost bent his spine and made him kneel down.

"What kind of pressure is this? Even Dao Foundation Middle Stage Establishment expert using a technique that soars to the heavens would be no more than this."

"This oppressive aura doesn't seem to be Divine Ability, but rather an innate aura of the celestial being!"

He gritted his teeth and suppressed the urge to kneel down.

Until...

The celestial chariot carrying the man and woman flew into the direction of the Dragon-Offering Main Sect, and the surging clouds slowly gathered, and the overwhelming power receded like the tide.

Yuan Lingyu then let out a long breath and slowly straightened up.

Chen Lingxi straightened up and felt a thin layer of cold sweat seeping out from her back.

He calmed himself for a moment before turning to Yuan Lingyu and asking, "Junior Sister Lingyu, who were those two people just now...?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Lingyu's expression turned slightly serious. She looked around before lowering her voice and whispering, "These two... are said to be immortals from the Great Luo Heaven."

"The Great Luo Heaven?" Chen Lingxi raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Yes." Yuan Lingyu nodded and said, "I heard that every time these two come, they are personally received by the Golden Grotto True Person of the main sect, and are treated with the utmost courtesy."

The main sect had already issued a strict order that all disciples of the Dragon-Offering Sect must remain silent and pay their respects upon seeing these Human Immortal, without showing the slightest disrespect."

"The Great Luo Heavenly Immortal..." Chen Lingxi repeated these words in a low voice, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

His thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the time of the Weiji Grotto-Heaven.

During that moment of Total Perception, the Great Sage Luo Yuan descended to destroy the world, causing the heavens to collapse and the earth to split, and all things to perish.

He had heard the furious roar of gods in the Void!

The sound wasn't even transmitted through Divine Sense, but rather transformed into a deafening roar using Dao Origin!

It was then that he vaguely heard the furious voice mention the [Great Luo Heaven Sky-Illuminating Mirror], the [Remnants of the Immortal Capital], and the [Mysterious Lord]...

But at that time, he couldn't even hear clearly; he could only remember a few indistinct syllables.

To this day, he still doesn't know what the Great Luo Heaven is, what kind of treasure the Heaven-Illuminating Mirror is, or what connection the remnants of the Immortal Capital and the Mysterious Lord have with the Great Luo Heavenly Immortal.

"Great Luo Heaven..." Chen Lingxi silently repeated these three words in her heart, her gaze unconsciously turning towards the direction where the celestial carriage had disappeared.

Yuan Lingyu was about to invite Chen Lingxi to sit down, but...

Another unexpected event has occurred!

Suddenly, a strange phenomenon appeared in the distant sky.

A phantom image of a true dragon slowly emerged from the heavens, its reflection shimmering amidst the sea of clouds!

The phantom's gaze fell into the sky, slowly descending to the vast Dragon-Offering Sect, as if surveying its own territory and scrutinizing the countless living beings below.

On each of the two hundred peaks of the Dragon-Offering Sect, beams of divine light shone down from the eyes of the true dragon.

The divine light was colorless and formless, yet it possessed an indescribable solemnity and majesty. When it fell upon each mountain peak, it was as if the peaks were being gilded with a very faint golden glow.

Then, streaks of Mystic Light separated from the divine light and fell, scattering across the vast Dragon-Offering Territory.

Those Mystic Light fell on mountain peaks, streams, cities, and wilderness, like scattered starlight, dotting the entire world.

One of the Mystic Light descended straight down from the heavens, landing precisely on Chen Lingxi.

The moment the Mystic Light entered Chen Lingxi's body, it felt as if a warm spring was pouring down from the top of her head, flowing through her meridians and across her entire body, landing on the Dao Platform and on the Thunder Thunder-Prison Profound Root.

The Profound Root trembled slightly, as if sensing something, yet it did not know the true meaning of this Mystic Light.

At the same time, thunderous sounds echoed from the Void.

The thunderous sound wasn't particularly loud, but it possessed an undeniable majesty. Each word fell into the ears of everyone who heard it, as if a divine decree had descended!

"Where the Mystic Light shines, all enter the main sect!"

In an instant, Yuan Lingyu's expression changed drastically, and her bright eyes were filled with an undisguised surprise.

She abruptly turned to look at Chen Lingxi, her gaze falling on the lingering Mystic Light on his body!

"Senior brother... this Mystic Light actually landed on you?"
