(Third Update)
Early the next morning, several streaks of escaping light shot out from Heavenly Capital Peak and flew straight toward Divine Path Mountain. Within them were none other than Heavenly Venerable Daoling, Li Xiaoya, Mother Li, and Dong Santong. For some unknown reason, Zhang Facai had not come along.
"Master! Are you taking us to see Grandmaster High Person Qianshan?" Li Xiaoya asked curiously as he flew, carrying Mother Li with him.
"Yes!" Heavenly Venerable Daoling looked back and said calmly, "I already sent a message to ask him. High Person Qianshan has agreed to help your mother! He also wants to see you and San Tong while you're here!" In truth, High Person Qianshan mainly wanted to see Dong Santong and Li Xiaoya. Mother Li's situation had been an unexpected addition.
"Ah! Thank you so much, Master!" Li Xiaoya said gratefully.
"All right! We're almost there!" Heavenly Venerable Daoling offered no further instructions. As he spoke, the others followed him above the clouds, almost reaching the summit of Divine Path Mountain. Mist shrouded the mountaintop, and the spiritual qi there was astonishingly abundant. Quite a few buildings stood on the summit as well. Without another word, Heavenly Venerable Daoling flew toward a mist-covered Mountain Cliff. As they approached it-
"Whoooosh!" A fierce wind rose, scattering the clouds and sweeping away the mist before the Mountain Cliff. With a whoosh, a white figure flew out of a cave abode in the Mountain Cliff. It was actually a little child with a small red fruit growing on their head. The child was fair and tender-skinned, dressed in little green clothes, and looked utterly adorable.
"Oh! Senior Brother Daoling, you're here! Master is waiting for you!" Before Heavenly Venerable Daoling could speak, the child greeted him in a soft, babyish voice.
