Half a Year Later, the True Disciple Returns

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

The entire Tianyuan Dao Realm was unusually peaceful.

After the destruction of the Daozhen Sect, the power structure in Central Province was reshuffled. The Immortal Alliance took over most of the Daozhen Sect's legacy, and all parties acted with restraint, with no one daring to cause trouble at this critical juncture.

After the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect Patriarch Xuanji was injured by the Northern Dark True Spirit, he retreated to Primordial Beginning Valley and stayed inside, seemingly recuperating.

The Immortal Alliance and the Ten Ancestral Vein coexisted peacefully, and order prevailed throughout the Five Provinces.

Meanwhile, Luozhen Province experienced explosive growth in the past six months.

The seven sects that moved in last time quickly established themselves and formed a good complement to the Luozhen Sect.

From its initial main city, Luozhen City has expanded into four satellite counties, and the total number of registered cultivators and mortals has exceeded 500,000.

The identity jade badge system has taken root in people's hearts, the contribution points system is operating smoothly, and the entire New South Wales is full of vitality.

Within the Luozhen Sect, even greater achievements were made.

The total number of disciples has expanded from three thousand to eight thousand, and the four-level system of outer disciples, inner disciples, core disciples, and personal disciples has become increasingly complete.

The number of Spirit Transformation Stage cultivators has increased by twenty-three, and the Dao Union Stage has increased by seven, making the overall foundation nearly twice as strong as it was six months ago.

Most excitingly, three elders broke through to the Void Refinement one after another.

The first one is Fang Hexuan.

After half a year of cultivation, using the training room, Fang Hexuan's cultivation speed was quite fast.

The second is Mu You.

He was already at the peak of the Dao Union Perfection realm, and after joining the Luozhen Sect for so long, he finally succeeded in breaking through his cultivation level.

The third person was quite unexpected; it was Jin Ruoxu from the Jin Household.

When Li Yunjing first met Jin Ruoxu, he was only at the Spirit Transformation stage and was quite old, with no hope of breaking through to the Dao Union.

But Jin Ruoxu happened to run into the Luozhen Sect, Jin Xiaofeng became a disciple of the Luozhen Sect, which also benefited the Jin Household.

Jin Ruoxu, by utilizing the wondrous architecture of the Luozhen Sect, achieved great success late in life, breaking through his cultivation level in a short period of time, and has now become a powerful Void Refinement, leaving everyone astonished.

The birth of three Void Refinement Elders directly doubled the high-end combat power of the Luozhen Sect.

With Li Yunjing also at the Void Refinement stage, these four Void Refinement cultivators are quite formidable in Tianyuan.

Early that morning, at the gate of Luozhen Mountain.

The disciple on duty was checking the identity tokens of the cultivators entering the city as usual when he suddenly looked up at the horizon and froze.

A beam of cool moonlight streaked across the sky, moving slowly but carrying an ethereal and otherworldly aura.

In the moonlight, a figure dressed in a moon-white dress stepped through the air, her long hair flowing like a waterfall, her temperament aloof, and her body seemed to be shrouded in a faint moonlight.

She landed before the mountain gate, raised her hand to take out a jade token for a True Disciple, and said in a clear, cool voice like a mountain stream. "Gu Xuan, return to the sect."

The disciple on duty took the jade token, his hands trembling slightly.

Gu Xuan!

The only daughter of Elder Gu Lin, the head of the Weapon Hall, and the Artifact Hall's first True Disciple!

This True Disciple is incredibly mysterious.

Many people in the sect have only heard of his name but have never seen True Person.

It is said that she entered the sect very early, and was personally selected by the sect leader as True Disciple even before the Luozhen Sect rose to prominence.

Two years ago, she went out to gain experience, and only sent back a few messages along the way before completely losing contact. Elder Gu Lin was worried for a long time.

We sent people to look for them, but there was no news.

If it weren't for the presence of the Hall of Rebirth, which informed him that Gu Xuan Gu Xuan in good condition and could be resurrected even if something had happened to her, Gu Lin would have gone out to search for her himself long ago.

To my surprise, she has returned today.

"Senior sister, please wait a moment, junior brother will inform them right away!" The disciple on duty quickly bowed and sent a message to the inner sect.

The news quickly reached the Artifact Hall.

Gu Lin was hammering a piece of Fallen Star Iron when he heard his disciple's report. His hand trembled, and the hammer almost hit his foot.

"Xuan'er?! She's back?"

Gu Lin threw down the hammer, not even bothering to brush off the sparks from his clothes, and strode towards the mountain gate.

His dark face was filled with excitement and worry. His daughter had been missing for two years, and although he didn't say it, his heart was torn with worry every day.

The father and daughter met in front of the mountain gate.

Gu Xuan looked at her father's face, which had darkened even more, and a hint of warmth appeared in her usually cold eyes. "Father, I'm back."

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Gu Lin rubbed his hands together, looked his daughter up and down, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was safe and sound. He couldn't help but ask, "Where have you been these past two years? I was so worried about you, I didn't hear from you at all."

"We accidentally wandered into an High Antiquity secret realm, which delayed us for a while," Gu Xuan said calmly, without elaborating. "Let's talk about it when we get back."

"Okay, okay, we'll talk about it when we get back."

The father and daughter walked towards the Artifact Hall. The disciples they encountered along the way all bowed and looked at Gu Xuan with curiosity and amazement.

Soon, news of Gu Xuan's return spread throughout the entire sect.

At first, everyone thought she was just returning from a normal training trip, until Elder Mo Xuan personally came to the Artifact Hall to check on her cultivation level, and his expression changed on the spot.

"Spirit Transformation Peak?!"

Mo Xuan's voice rose several decibels as he looked at Gu Xuan in disbelief. "When you left two years ago, you were only at the Golden Core Late Stage, right? It's only been two years, how could you..."

Spirit Transformation Peak!

It should be noted that such cultivation level is comparable to that of some of the elders in the Luozhen Sect.

Among the young disciples, the highest cultivation level is only at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Gu Xuan's progress is astonishing.

Gu Lin was also stunned. He only knew that his daughter was talented, but he didn't expect her to be this talented.

Gu Xuan stood up, bowed slightly to Mo Xuan, and calmly said, "Elder, I obtained an High Antiquity inheritance in the secret realm, and my cultivation has improved rather quickly."

"High Antiquity inheritance?" Mo Xuan's heart skipped a beat. "What inheritance?"

Gu Xuan paused for a moment, then raised her hand and touched her brow.

Buzz.

A gentle moonlight emanated from her body, serene and sacred, carrying an ancient and vast Spiritual Qi.

Where the moonlight passes, the surrounding Spiritual Qi automatically condenses into tiny silvery glimmers, even softening the sunlight outside the window.

"This is..." Mo Xuan's pupils shrank sharply, and he held his breath.

Spiritual Qi!

It's a divine inheritance!

"The High Antiquity Moon God, Wangshu." Gu Xuan withdrew her hand, and the moonlight gradually faded. "I accidentally entered the Moon God's sleeping palace in the secret realm, passed the test, and was accepted as her personal disciple."

"I've been cultivating in the Divine Palace for some time now, and I've received most of the inheritance, so my cultivation level has also increased."

The hall was completely silent.

Gu Lin opened his mouth, unable to utter a word for a long time.

His daughter became a disciple of High Antiquity deity?

It took Mo Xuan a long time to come to his senses, his face beaming with joy. "Excellent! Excellent! The Moon God Inheritance! My Luozhen Sect has actually produced a disciple with divine inheritance!"

God!

That was a supreme being that existed only in High Antiquity times, and its lineage had been severed for countless millennia.

Unexpectedly, it has reappeared at the Luozhen Sect today!

"Junior Nephew Gu, this matter is of great importance, I must immediately..." Mo Xuan was about to say that he would report to the sect leader, but suddenly remembered that Li Yunjing was still in seclusion, so he swallowed his words.

"The sect leader is still in seclusion, so don't disturb him yet." Mo Xuan composed himself. "You've just returned, so rest well first. Keep the matter of the inheritance a secret for now; don't tell anyone except a few elders."

"I understand." Gu Xuan nodded slightly.

But secrets can't stay hidden forever.

Gu Xuan casually practiced a set of Moon God Swordsmanship in the martial arts arena. Moonlight filled the sky, and Sword Qi crisscrossed, easily defeating an elder in the Late Spirit Transformation.

The news caused a sensation throughout the clan.

The younger generation was absolutely thrilled.
