Chapter 664: Chapter 61: Carefree Immortal, the Man’s Silhouette

Many speculate that Cloud Dragon True Monarch has already taken the last step to become a True Immortal above Celestial Human.

But no one can be certain.

However, Lu Yao knows that her master certainly hasn’t broken through to True Immortal.

It’s not that she can’t, but that she doesn’t wish to.

"Yaoyao, this time I go into retreat, I intend to re-cultivate my body, retrace the path I once walked, organize the Martial Arts of the world, innovate, and open new heavens and earth, so that the path of Celestial Human no longer relies on Immortal Bone, allowing the Martial Path to directly reach the Immortal Path."

"This time in retreat, I don’t know life or death, I don’t know the outcome."

"If successful, I will open new heavens and earth, creating a new sky for the Martial Path."

"If I fail, my body will perish and my path will disappear..." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Regardless of success or failure, I have no regrets."

Lu Yao still remembers when her master looked at her gently before going into retreat, speaking softly, yet the spiritual will of those words seemed to penetrate ancient and modern, making her feel unprecedentedly shocked.

"Martial Path cultivation is not only about seeking the path, but also refining the heart."

This was the first thing her master said to her when teaching her Martial Arts.

Yet even now, Lu Yao is unable to touch her master’s Mental Realm, she can only observe from afar, but it’s as elusive as flowers in a mirror and moon in water.

Her master is like that towering mountain shrouded in clouds and mist, the closer she gets, the more she feels her own insignificance.

"If Master wished to become immortal, she could have done it over a hundred years ago. Her retreat is to retrain in Martial Path and open a new sky."

"That is why she is still mortal, and still has the limitation of lifespan."

"Now... it’s almost been three hundred years."

"Master she..."

Lu Yao’s heart is full of anxiety and unease, she certainly hopes her master can succeed, but now, with her master’s lifespan nearing its end, calculated to be less than three months.

No matter what, she refuses to sit and wait for death.

At this moment, she reaches halfway up the mountain, feeling the clouds and mist ripple like water waves, blocking her path.

Lu Yao kneels on the ground with a thud, circulating the mana inside her body, calling out loudly: "Disciple Lu Yao requests to see Master."

Her voice echoes in the mountain, yet all is silent around, only the wind blows and clouds scatter, without a trace of another person.

Lu Yao bites her lip slightly, since proving herself as Celestial Human, sweeping across the Martial World, and earning the title of Carefree Immortal, she rarely feels such panic and insecurity as she does now.

At this moment, she seems to have returned to her childhood, full of attachment to her master, unwilling to be separated for even a moment.

"Master, please, see your disciple just once!"

"Master! Master! Master!"

Lu Yao’s voice grows increasingly desolate, filled with sadness and pleading.

She knows, as long as her master is still there, she will surely hear her voice.

But the rolling clouds and mist around the mountain, echoes coming from all directions, yet no word from her master.

Lu Yao’s eyes feel a bit red, more than a little anxious, she subconsciously tightens her hands, a thought suddenly crashes into her mind.

"Could it be... that something really happened to Master?"

She believes that given the bond between master and disciple, regardless of her master’s success, before the end, her master would surely meet her once.

But now, according to calculations, her master has at most less than three months of life left.

Despite her kneeling here and pleading bitterly, she still receives no response from her master.

This makes her suspect, has something already happened to her master?

Lu Yao’s heart is filled with panic and unease, she cannot imagine what to do if something really happened to her master.

Throughout these hundred years, although her master is not by her side, as long as she looks at this mountain peak, it feels like seeing her master.

Every time she comes to lie amidst these clouds halfway up the mountain, it feels as if she’s being embraced by her master.

As long as she’s there, one feels an unparalleled sense of security.

But...

"It won’t be, it won’t be, it definitely won’t be."

Blood vessels unknowingly appear in Lu Yao’s pupils, she mutters, but it sounds more like she’s comforting herself.

Somewhat hurriedly, she clambers up from the ground, this Carefree Immortal takes a deep breath, barely regaining her composure, then respectfully bows, "Master, your disciple has offended you."

"Regardless of anything, I must see you once."

"If I’ve disturbed Master, your disciple accepts any punishment."

"Just please, let me see you once more."

After saying this, the valley remains silent.

Lu Yao no longer hesitates, a blue halo swirling around her body, it is the mana cultivated through her practice of the Carefree Travel Divine Skill bestowed by her master.

Carefree Travel is based on the Ancient Innate Divine Demon Roc True Form Map gifted by her master, drawing from its essence, transforming into Roc to freely swim in the Southern Nether Celestial Pool; transforming into Peng, spreading wings over Nine Thousand Miles of Cyan Heaven.

Upon completion, mana surges like the sea of Southern Nether; divine power vast as the Ancient Kun; matchless speed as the Nine Heavens Cyan Roc.

With grandiose spirit and profound meaning.

Relying on this self-created Divine Technique, Lu Yao earned the reputation of being invincible in the same realm within the Martial World, her divine power nearly capable of destroying mountains and severing peaks, coupled with lightning speed across heaven and earth, becoming a nightmare for all in the Martial World.

Soon setting aside the panic and unease in her heart, this Carefree Immortal finally displays the grandeur and extraordinariness of the contemporary number one in the Martial World.

Her entire body enveloped in blue light, seemingly surrounded by vast oceans billowing, behind her a colossal presence reveals just a scale and claw, terrifying momentum fills the eight directions.

"Master, your disciple is unfilial, please forgive me."

Lu Yao circulates her mana, manifesting the Roc True Form, ignoring the obstruction of the mountain clouds, forcibly breaking towards the mountaintop.

However, the seemingly ethereal clouds and mist, after her forced advance, seem to transform into huge waves, surging with a force that could overturn mountains and seas.

Lu Yao’s expression remains calm, allowing the clouds to roll, immense force crushing towards her, she remains fearless, striding step by step towards the summit.

She can create the Secret Skill Divine Techniques, cultivate the Roc True Form, dominate the Martial World after her master’s retreat, and gain a great reputation, becoming revered as Carefree Immortal, is not a false reputation.

Just with her vast mana, it is enough to leave other Celestial Human Strong Persons in the dust, not to mention the Ancient Divine Demon Roc True Form, even a small manifestation is enough to crush the ages.

Back then, the royal cavalry trod on the Martial World, a million troops vanished in the clouds, suspected to be the work of Cloud Dragon True Monarch.

But the very few high-level experts in the world know that the three Celestial Humans of Li Mountain, Zhenbei, and Yun’an were all personally slain by Lu Yao.

This Yun Cang Sect Leader once stormed a million troops alone, her mana shook the world, supreme divine power, slaying King Zhenbei with three punches.

Afterwards, crossing a thousand miles, the Roc True Form dispersed King of Li Mountain’s soul with a single strike.

Finally, she calmly faced King Yun’an leading a hundred thousand cavalry and royal first-class warriors.

In that battle, Lu Yao fought single-handedly, barehanded, using Roc divine power, unrivaled speed, boundless mana, to annihilate a hundred thousand troops, slay King Yun’an, making the blood flow like a river beneath Yun Cang Mountain, and corpses pile into a mountain.

After doing all this, she ventured alone into the Imperial Palace.

Then King Taicang died suddenly, the world mourned in white, and a new sovereign was established in the Dynasty.

And she, became the Taicang State Preceptor.

The common people only thought thirty-five years ago, it was Cloud Dragon True Monarch who protected Yun Cang.

But the true events are recorded only in the forbidden archives of the royal family and the major clans.

Since that battle, the world turned from danger to peace with all forces stabilized.

All due to the Carefree Immortal—Lu Yao.

Even after Jade Dragon True Monarch’s immortality, this Carefree Immortal is enough to protect Yun Cang for another two hundred years.

First came Jade Dragon True Monarch, then came Carefree Immortal.

This master and disciple pair have suppressed the Martial World for hundreds of years, regardless of how turbulent the Martial World becomes, generations of talents emerge, all can only bow before Yun Cang.

At this moment, Lu Yao ascends step by step, the surrounding clouds and mist turning increasingly terrifying, wave upon wave, containing more and more frightening power, ceaselessly, as if to crush the mountain, drown the sky.

Yet she remains unshaken, as if walking on flat ground, blue light saturates around her, behind her the Roc overturns rivers and seas, roaring at the heavens.

Clouds roll, clashing with the Roc True Form, sparking lightning and generating Gang Wind flames.

As if a deity, climbing the stairs of heaven.

Lu Yao just walks step by step to the summit.

Until the clouds part and the mist disperses, she sees a silhouette.

The silhouette of a man.
