Meanwhile, Lu Xun had arrived within Cave Heaven, and today was the day he was going to say farewell to his elderly mentor.

At this moment, Lu Xun was dressed in splendid attire, a far cry from his usual plain clothes. As the saying goes, "Clothes make the man." Dressed in these garments, Lu Xun exuded a unique charm that marked his extraordinary origins at a glance.

His face was serious at this time, and his movements were precise and deliberate as if following a particular rhythm, slowly walking within Cave Heaven. Soon, he encountered a smiling Liu Qingyun.

"Disciple Lu Xun pays respect to the teacher!" Lu Xun respectfully saluted, deeply respecting the teacher before him from the bottom of his heart, having learned so much from Liu Qingyun during this time.

"Ready to leave the mountain?" Liu Qingyun asked with a smile.

Lu Xun nodded firmly, a flicker of sharp light passing through his eyes. He had been waiting for this day for far too long, and even while at Mountain Luoxia, his thoughts had constantly been on the world below.

"Indeed, it seems you are destined to be among the worldly, as all this time, other than a mind more at peace, you've not developed a desire to leave the world. However, that might be for the best, following your true heart is a cultivation in itself."

Lu Xun listened quietly to Liu Qingyun speaking. After such a long time, he knew that his teacher did not wish for him to be entangled in these worldly disputes, and if he voiced a desire to stay, his teacher would do everything possible to keep him.

But just as Liu Qingyun had said, he was naturally a man of the world, and ascetic cultivation wasn't his goal—ensuring the well-being of the people was his lifelong ideal.

At this moment, Lu Xun's eyes sparkled with the light of ideals, and even Liu Qingyun, as an Immortal, felt a powerful force from within him. It was a compassion that stemmed from the depths of his heart, a courage and belief wanting to change the world.

Liu Qingyun looked deeply at Lu Xun, a trace of gratified smile on his lips and said, "Perhaps your choice is the correct one, for compared to us, you are truly the one with a great compassionate heart. As long as you hold onto this initial resolution, your future will be boundless."

Lu Xun formally bowed to Liu Qingyun and said, "Disciple does not seek eternal life, only peace for the world. I hope for everlasting blessings upon you, teacher. I shall take my leave now."

After saying this, Lu Xun left Cave Heaven without looking back, choosing not to meet with the old ancestor in person. He knew the old ancestor's power and realized that facing him directly was no different from the present separation; at this moment, he carried an air of extreme freedom about him.

"Incredible, your disciple is truly incredible!" Ruyi True Immortal, transformed into White Ox, lay quietly beside Liu Qingyun, watching Lu Xun's resolute departure and couldn't help but say.

"Our family has produced a remarkable figure." Lu Yu's voice came from behind the two.

He looked at Lu Xun's departing figure with complex eyes, feeling the genuine sincerity in Lu Xun's recent words. Such earnestness made it all the more precious, embodying a spirit of worrying for the world before oneself and finding joy in the happiness of others—a spirit not everyone possesses, and even Lu Yu himself admitted he could not achieve this.

It was a spirit of great sacrifice, a willingness to devote oneself to changing the world, and Lu Yu seemed to see a spark of stars scattering across the universe from him.

Lu Xun walked out of the vast mountains, taking one last look at Mountain Luoxia. He knew that it would be extremely difficult for him to return to this place, but he smiled slightly—what did it matter? Since he had decided to bear the welfare of all people as his responsibility, he was naturally prepared for this.

"Lu Xun, wait for us." A voice came from the mountains, and Lu Xun turned his head to see the siblings Chen Xiong and Chen Li running up to him.

At this time, the two siblings were no longer the homeless and pitiful youngsters they had been. Over the years, they had grown up well, with ample nutrition, the brother strong and powerful, and the sister graceful and elegant.

Surprised, he asked, "How did you two come here?" During this period, Chen siblings had been cultivating in the mountains with him, especially Chen Xiong, who was born with divine power and praised by their teacher as a cultivation prodigy.

"Of course, to leave the mountain with you!" Chen Xiong said with a smile, while Chen Li nodded at his side.

"Leave the mountain, Chen Xiong, have you gone mad? Don't you know that once you enter the world, it is extremely difficult to leave it again? Why bother, go back to cultivating." By now, Lu Xun was no longer the novice to cultivation he once was. After such a long time at Mountain Luoxia, it was natural that he understood the taboos of cultivation.

Most cultivators who meddle in worldly matters seldom end well, so he quickly urged the siblings to return.

"What do you mean, didn't we agree that you would make me a great general? Or are you thinking of reneging?" Chen Xiong laughingly punched Lu Xun in the chest.

"Oh, why must you do this?" Lu Xun sighed deeply, well aware that Chen Xiong's statement was just an excuse.

"Big Brother Lu, please don't send us away. We have been by your side for so long, hearing your ideals and beliefs. We are willing to follow you to change this world. Our parents both died of starvation; we know how great and tough your ideal is." Chen Li gently said these words beside him, her expression gentle.
