Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 303 - 284: The humble Daoist Che Lizzi, congratulates Master Guang Yuan on completing his retreat!
Lin Feng, head of the Guangyuan Immortal Sect, showed no interest in these materials. His eyes were fixed on the aurora filling the sky, and he couldn't help but marvel, "The Two Pole Universe Light Disk is indeed miraculous."
However, as his gaze swept across the celestial cycle, the Two Pole Universe Light Disk was nowhere to be seen.
"Sect Master, something isn't right."
On the seventh level of the Eight Sceneries Tower, a purple-robed True Man looked around with slightly furrowed brows. This person, known as Spirit Stone True Man, a Gathering Law Realm True Man within the Guangyuan Immortal Sect, had refined the Spirit Stone True Fire and was indeed extraordinary.
"Indeed, something's off,"
Lin Feng nodded.
Before arriving at the Fengyue Star, he had already browsed through countless texts. According to these records, when the aurora appeared, the Two Pole Universe Light Disk should also reveal its presence, spanning across the void.
Harnessing the power of the stars, the gateway to the magic artifacts would open.
A group of True People scrambled to be the first to enter. Those who could enter would forge the Two Pole True Body, surpassing countless Solid Pill Realm True Bodies meticulously crafted by many.
But this time.
The aurora was still there, yet the Two Pole Universe Light Disk was without a trace.
"Could it be—"
A thought struck Lin Feng as he looked down upon the stars.
His eyes penetrated through layers of clouds, seeing beneath the stars where Lin Ye, Wen Guang, and Zhang Yanng stood on the surface of the earth. The three were huddled together, guarding a young girl and a young man.
He immediately stopped caring about suppressing the void.
"Please wait here for my return,"
Lin Feng spoke indifferently.
The twelve True People of Guangyuan Immortal Sect showed puzzlement on their faces. Spirit Stone True Man looked towards Lin Feng, "If the Two Pole Universe Light Disk has not yet emerged, Sect Master, what is this about—"
"There is another matter of importance."
Without further explanation, Lin Feng shrank the Eight Sceneries Tower from a mountain's size to three feet in a flash and caught it in his hand. Holding the Eight Sceneries Tower, his body heavy as if weighing a thousand pounds, he plunged towards the earth below the stars.
Leaving the twelve True People exchanging bewildered looks.
"True Man Lin Feng is acting unilaterally at this time?"
Seeing this from above, the True People of the Three Sects and other True People were puzzled.
Someone noticed—
"All four of the Guangyuan Immortals are nowhere to be seen."
As soon as these words were spoken, it turned out that only twelve Jiedan True People of the Guangyuan Immortal Sect remained, without a trace of the Guangyuan Four Immortals.
Among the Three Sects, the gaze of a True Man flickered, and a sudden shock crossed his mind, "The Guangyuan Four Immortals entered the star, and the Two Pole Universe Light Disk is not revealing itself, could it be that he has appeared?!"
"That person?"
"Which person?"
At first, the group of True People didn't catch on.
But then, in half a breath.
"Five-Colored Divine Light!"
"The Guangyuan Old Demon!?"
...
All eyes were fixed.
The aurora dissipated.
From beneath the stars, the earth split open a path, and a Green Robed Daoist slowly emerged.
That demeanor.
That look.
Made even the cosmic stars seem dull in comparison.
Lin Feng plummeted from the Qingyun sky, landed on the earth, and upon seeing the Green Robed Daoist, joy surged across his face.
Lin Ye, Wen Guang, and Zhang Yanng, who guarded Mountain Wind and Skylark, also surrounded Lin Feng and looked towards the Green Robed Daoist.
Lin Ye watched unblinkingly, showing a touch of grievance.
Wen Guang was bashful, scratching his head and giving a naive laugh.
Zhang Yanng's white hair fluttered from beneath his hat, and his eyes, clear as a mirror, stirred with a ripple.
"Congratulations, my lord, on leaving your retreat."
Mountain Wind and Skylark found the four people's behavior odd, but could not comprehend their feelings. Transforming into Qingfeng, they approached the Green Robed Daoist from the side.
Lu Qingfeng smiled, pointing towards Lin Feng and the others, and said to Mountain Wind and Skylark, "These four are my personally taught disciples. Although you two are but youngsters, you may address them as elder brothers."
"Indeed, master's disciples!"
Mountain Wind sheepishly spoke.
Skylark stuck out her tongue.
The two exchanged glances and hurriedly stepped forward, "Mountain Wind and Skylark, we greet our elder brothers and sisters."
"Disciples pay respect to Master."
"Master, be forever blessed!"
As Lin Feng and the others heard their master speaking, they couldn't hold back any longer, simultaneously kneeling on the ground, bowing their heads to the earth, not rising for quite some time.
...
"Stand up."
"The ones in the heavens cannot wait any longer."
Lu Qingfeng waved his sleeve, and the four were lifted by Qingfeng.
Lin Ye's face beamed with joy, but upon hearing this, her brows instantly furrowed with annoyance. Suddenly she revealed a green and purple ring in her hand, raising her head to look towards the sky, she snorted coldly, "Wait for the disciples to go up and teach them a lesson."
The petite girl was truly capable.
Lin Feng held the Eight Sceneries Tower, Wen Guang grasped the Great You Circle, and Zhang Yanng held a Purple Gold Bowl in one hand and wore the Demon Suppressing Golden Ring on his wrist. Seeing the many True People from above descending together, they all harbored murderous intent in their eyes.
Even if the former Fengyue Four Demons had transformed into the 'Guangyuan Four Immortals,' their ferocity forged over hundreds of years had not been worn away.
The reunion of master and disciples would not be disturbed by outsiders.
Nor did they fear battle.
"Wait."
"I have my own methods,"
Lu Qingfeng gestured with his hand, preventing the eager Lin Ye from leaping forward.
"Master, leave these people to us," boomed Wen Guang.
After not seeing their master for two hundred years, this rare reunion was irritated by these unperceptive people in the sky. Wen Guang didn't mind getting a workout.
Of course.
There was also the intention to show off in front of their master.
The four of them looked towards Lu Qingfeng.
Lu Qingfeng shook his head, his form flickering to appear in the sky. With his hands behind his back, he faced the many True People encircling in formation.
For a moment.
It was as if it was brought back to over seven hundred years ago, the battle at Duanlong Cliff on the Fengyue Star.
That day.
It was also the True People of the Fengyue Star that surrounded them.
But seven hundred years had passed, and the top True People had been suppressed by Lin Feng with the Eight Sceneries Tower long ago. None of the remaining were Golden Core; the strongest were merely in the Gathering Law Realm.
"It really is him!"
"The Guangyuan Old Demon!"
"Vanished for more than two centuries, and now he has appeared again."
"That Old Demon controls the Five-Colored Divine Light, which can cleanse anything. The Two Pole Universe Light Disk must have been obtained by him."
...
The True People communicated with each other through transmitted voices, looking towards the Green Robed Daoist below as if he were a tiger to be feared.
Lu Qingfeng surveyed the surroundings with an impassive face, his palm flipped, and an Iron Strategy appeared in his hand. The next moment, seventy-two Peak of Jiedan Dutian Ghost Generals and one thousand and eight Spirit Void Peak Xuanming Yin Soldiers emerged from the void. Like Divine Soldiers descended from heaven, they all landed neatly behind Lu Qingfeng.
Crash and clang!
Armor collided, ringing aloud.
Over a thousand Daoist Soldiers stood in formation, chanting in unison—
"Greetings, Daoist Master!"
Lu Qingfeng's gaze swept ahead, and he spoke indifferently, "Those who block my path shall perish!"
A chilling murderous intent spread all around, sending shivers down the spines of all present.
"This—"
"These are Daoist Soldiers!"
"Seventy-two at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, such formidable Daoist Soldiers far surpass those of the Fire Crow and Water Dao Soldiers from the Guangyuan Immortal Sect. Who can possibly stand against them?!"
"The old demon Guangyuan has actually refined such invincible Daoist Soldiers?"
The multitude of True People were shocked.
Even the most ancient Three Sects of Fengyue Star, after the Great Destruction and the evolution of the celestial universe, had lost the transmission of the Breeding Method for Daoist Soldiers.
They had no Daoist Soldiers.
But having witnessed the two divisions of Daoist Soldiers from Guangyuan Immortal Sect, they knew their might.
Seventy-two Dutian Ghost Generals arrayed across the sky, like Heavenly Generals.
One thousand and eight hundred Spirit Void Peak Xuanming Yin Soldiers arrayed in heaven's net, like Heavenly Soldiers.
Clouds gathered from all four directions, forming a pathway reaching to the heavens, as if the earth and sky were laid out as a carpet. The impact was unparalleled, the oppressive aura was suffocating.
It was just an instant—
"This humble Daoist Che Lizzi congratulates Master Guangyuan on leaving seclusion."
Among the crowd, a Daoist couldn't help but speak first.
He bowed to Lu Qingfeng and immediately stepped aside to clear the path.
Facing the once formidable reputation of the 'Guangyuan Demon', the one who could suppress the Three Sects and single-handedly dominate Fengyue Star,
Especially an old demon whose depth was unknown after two centuries of seclusion.
The Void Core Realm Che Lizzi did not dare to offend.
Not to mention the seventy-two Peak Jiedan Daoist Soldiers and the Guangyuan Four Immortals backing him. To not retreat at this moment would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
With someone leading the way—
"This humble Daoist Yu Mingzi congratulates Master Guangyuan on leaving seclusion."
"Zhao Jiugou congratulates Master Guangyuan on leaving seclusion."
"This humble monk True Good congratulates Master Guangyuan on leaving seclusion."
…
A host of Loose Cultivators and True People from small and middle-sized sects, both Void Core and Solid Pill Experts scattered like birds and monkeys.
None had the nerve to obstruct.
The True People in the sky were mostly gone in a flash.
Only those from the Three Sects and a few scattering Gathering Law Realm Experts remained.
Lu Qingfeng swept his gaze, bolstered by the ferocity of the thousand-plus Daoist Soldiers, making the Three Sects True People's hearts tremble.
Without a word, they receded.
Although this was a rare opportunity, Guangyuan Immortal Sect had already become a force to be reckoned with. The Guangyuan Demon had the power to suppress the Three Sects two centuries ago. Now, with the aid of a thousand formidable Daoist Soldiers,
And with the top True People of the Three Sects suppressed, what chance did they stand?
Not to mention under the stars, the Guangyuan Four Immortals wielding Supreme Treasures with a covetous gaze.
No match!
Withdraw!
The way in the sky was cleared.
Lu Qingfeng's gaze retracted, looking down at the four, Lin Feng and the rest, who were full of fighting spirit, and he spoke aloud, "The materials of the Two Pole Star have nothing to do with you. Why linger here?"
Upon hearing this, the four leapt at once, landing in front of Lu Qingfeng.
Lin Ye, anxious, looked at Lu Qingfeng, "You're not leaving just yet?"
Lu Qingfeng, seeing Lin Ye falter and knowing what she wanted to ask, said directly.
Hearing this.
The hearts of the True People above sank.
The Guangyuan Demon, elusive as a ghost, was one thing, but his constant presence on Fengyue Star would bring far more pressure than the four Guangyuan Immortals.
"Thank goodness!"
Lin Ye and the others were overjoyed.
"You two come with me to Fengyue Star too," Lu Qingfeng waved his sleeve, and the two figures of Mountain Wind and Skylark, who looked up eagerly from the ground, were swept up by the breeze and landed among Lin Ye's group.
Nervous, yet filled with joy and anticipation.
Lu Qingfeng did not linger.
With his robes fluttering, he swept out towards the Two Pole Star.
Lin Ye and Zhang Yanng each guided Skylark and Mountain Wind, closely following behind with Wen Guang at their side. Lin Feng summoned the Eight Sceneries Tower and the twelve Jiedan Experts from Guangyuan Immortal Sect bowed to Lu Qingfeng and descended one by one.
The party made no delay, leaving the Two Pole Star behind.
They left behind over a hundred True People in the sky, watching them depart, with complex expressions on their faces.
…
Lu Qingfeng left.
The True People of Guangyuan Immortal Sect were gone.
Those remaining on Fengyue Star were conflicted, their joy at acquiring the ore mine greatly dampened.
Especially the Fengyue Three Sects.
Upper Origin Palace had sent a total of twenty True People this time.
Even a camel, emaciated, was bigger than a horse, and despite being targeted for five hundred years and then suppressed by Guangyuan Immortal Sect for another two hundred years, Upper Origin Palace's foundation remained deep.
Yu Xinzi, the newly advanced Gathering Law Realm Expert of Upper Origin Palace, stood in the air, watching Lu Qingfeng and his party disappear in the distance. His eyes flickered. He turned to look at his fellow Gathering Law Realm True Master Wu Qiong, frowning and saying, "The Guangyuan Demon Sect is already at its zenith. Now with the old demon returning to the world and acquiring the Two Pole Universe Light Disk, I fear they will become even more unstoppable."
"The strength of Guangyuan Demon Sect comes from the formidable Cultivation Techniques of the four demons, their Divine Skills are superb, and they each possess Supreme Treasures that allow them to crush any Golden Core Expert."
"But on Fengyue Star, after Golden Core, there's no further path to tread; one can only leave the star to seek transcendence in the vast universe."
"The ambitions of the four demons of Guangyuan are minor; they're not a concern."
True Master Wu Qiong expressed with a calm demeanor, "Similarly, the appearance of the old demon Guangyuan is not a cause for concern. At most, in a thousand or two years, he will either venture far into the universe or he will die on Fengyue Star. The only worry left then would be the many Supreme Treasures in the possession of the four demons, and the ranks of Daoist Soldiers under the old demon's command."
Fengyue Star, after all, is just a single celestial body.
Including Guangyuan Immortal Sect and the Three Sects, many sects with Real People presiding are actively exploring the universe.
But since recorded history, no one has been able to break through to the Primordial Spirit Realm on Fengyue Star.
Most cultivators who reach the Golden Core Realm choose to venture far into the cosmos.
The two Golden Core Experts who died in Upper Origin Palace did so because they deemed it hopeless to ascend further, pressured by the persistent threat of the Guangyuan Demon on Fengyue Star.
Otherwise,
Once Master Meng Zhu advances to Golden Core, they would have traveled the cosmos in search of opportunity,
Regardless of how hopeless they considered their chances, they would still give it a try.
"Brother, you speak truth."
"In this case, our Upper Origin Palace only needs to lie low in the dark. Once the Guangyuan Demon and his four demons leave for the cosmos, we can seize the opportunity to rise again and vie for glory," Yu Xinzi said, eyes lighting up.
Seeing Upper Origin Palace decline from its heyday, Yu Xinzi felt begrudgingly resentful. What's more helpless was that, with the Guangyuan Four Immortals and the Guangyuan Wanderer as the suppressive forces, he saw no chance of making a mark.
But, illuminated by True Master Wu Qiong's explanations, Yu Xinzi saw the first light of dawn.
