Jin Yuanzi was a Daoist immortal of Earth Immortal status and recognized Wu Qing’s uniqueness at first glance.
Born with a phoenix constitution and carrying dragon aura, she was equivalent to a miraculous elixir for cultivators, surpassing even the Nine Transmutation Golden Elixir.
” Miaoqing, come forward!”
Yuqing, the old Daoist, had no choice but to beckon from behind.
“Miaoqing greets the immortal!” Wu Qing stepped forward reluctantly and bowed slightly, her grace and demeanor causing even Jin Yuanzi to be momentarily taken aback.
“Excellent! Very good indeed!” His eyes seemed to gleam with brilliance as he examined Wu Qing up and down. “Congratulations, Daoist friend Yuqing, having this girl ensures your lineage will continue and flourish, surpassing even its origin!”
“Thank you for your kind words!” Seeing Jin Yuanzi’s reaction, Yuqing felt relieved but not entirely at ease.
On the contrary, knowing Jin Yuan’s nature well, he became even more troubled: “If he doesn’t speak openly, he might resort to underhanded methods…”
He immediately transmitted his voice to Wu Qing: “Miaoqing… remember to be cautious this time. Don’t wander off unless necessary; stay close to this old Daoist!”
“As you command! Master!” Wu Qing felt somewhat bewildered.
If her opponent were a true cultivator or Celestial Master, she could resist, at the very least having methods for a life-or-death struggle.
But facing a Heaven Immortal backed by the power of a sacred land, she realized her own weakness and helplessness.
“Qi and fortune, without transforming into real strength, ultimately aren’t the right path…”
She felt bitter inside, with an added sense of confusion.
According to Wu Ming’s theory, Wu Qing currently had strong external fortune but had not yet transformed it into internal fortune, thus still facing calamities and the possibility of being forcibly seized by others.
“Master!”
Jin Yuan moved aside to sit cross-legged, and a young Daoist in golden robes spoke softly: “We’ve confirmed the details. This girl is named Wu Qing, from Chufeng, Dingzhou. Wu Zhi of Dingzhou is her sister-in-law!”
“That explains the dragon aura…”
Golden Yuanzi’s golden glow in his pupils intensified, causing Wu Qing to shiver involuntarily.
“Indeed… she has extraordinary talent and spiritual nature. With the dual phoenix configuration in Dingzhou, half of the phoenix aura’s ascent should be attributed to this girl!”
Jin Yuan nodded approvingly.
“Master…”
The young Daoist beside him became anxious: “This girl is exceptionally gifted. How can the Yuqing Dao possibly train her properly? Perhaps…”
“Haha… Don’t think I don’t know what you’re plotting?” Jin Yuan cast a glance at his favorite disciple. “Wanting to break through using phoenix fortune? Foolish! Do you think this girl is someone you can mess with?”
The disciple’s smile froze, and he looked astonished, his mind immediately turning to darker thoughts: “Could it be that…”
“Do you know about the major undertaking of our Golden Eagle Sect?”
Jin Yuanzi rebuked.
“Could it be about the potential dragon?”
The disciple was no fool and immediately caught on.
“Precisely! This girl is crucial. Not only can her fortune benefit her husband’s family, but it can also influence the situation in Dingzhou… Recently, Dingzhou has risen unexpectedly, and it is said that when Wu Zhi gave birth, a divine figure was reincarnated, indicating she also has great fortune! This is unfavorable to our supported potential dragon. If we can capture this girl as a hostage to exert influence at critical moments, wouldn’t that be excellent?”
“Your disciple was mistaken!”
The young Daoist immediately bowed, his expression showing sincere admiration.
“Ah?”
Jin Yuanzi was gazing toward Wu Qing when his expression suddenly changed.
In his eyes, this girl’s aura resembled a multicolored phoenix, with strands of dragon aura clinging around her, an extremely noble sight.
Of course, facing the thoughts of an Earth Immortal, even dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren would face misfortune.
Earlier, with just a thought, despite the protection of Yuqing’s aura, this girl’s fortune had already shown signs of instability.
This was the limit of external fortune.
But just now, there was a slight change during a moment of inattention.
A pure purple light seemed to flicker briefly and then vanished, making him almost think it was an illusion.
“What was that just now…” Jin Yuan felt surprised.
Human purple represented dragon aura, while celestial purple signified Heaven Immortal status. Only at level six or above, capable of harnessing the power of the world, could one emit purple!
Something capable of making him feel alarmed could only be celestial purple!
“Was it just my imagination? Or does this girl have a great guardian?” Jin Yuan felt a chill run down his spine.
“However, fortune-telling methods often contain errors. Without truly seeing the grand patterns of heaven, earth, and humanity, perhaps I’m just scaring myself?”
Even an Earth Immortal couldn’t instantly know someone’s true nature at a glance.
Especially for someone like this, born with noble essence and possessing great postnatal fortune, mixing in celestial Dao only increases the likelihood of errors.
Not everyone has Wu Ming’s true vision, or the supernatural ability to observe fortune.
“Ah… but just to be safe, I should plan carefully…”
Jin Yuan’s eyes flickered, and he fixed his gaze on his disciple: “Just let him go first and uncover her secrets!”
“Ah?”
Yuqing silently practiced his abilities, calculating the situation, and secretly felt puzzled: “Avoiding calamity and gaining fortune? This girl seems to have no misfortune at all…”
He glanced toward Jin Yuan again, and from the corner of his eye, he seemed to see a wisp of black qi, immediately feeling a chill run down his spine, though his expression remained calm.
A physician cannot heal himself, and a fortune observer finds it hardest to grasp his own fortune.
Just like now, Jin Yuan had dark clouds hanging over his head, yet he was completely unaware. Not only him, but even his close associates found it difficult to calculate. Instead, Yuqing, as an enemy, suddenly found the heavenly signs unusually clear, often able to capture changes and transform them into calamities for others.
“Jin Yuan is in trouble…”
Yuqing secretly rejoiced but naturally wouldn’t tell Jin Yuan.
…
Three groups occupied the Immortal Receiving Platform. Before long, with flashes of clear light, waves of Daoists successively arrived.
Some directly relied on Earth Immortals, employing the technique of shrinking a thousand miles into a single step, while others rode magical treasures or spirit birds, truly demonstrating the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displaying their unique abilities.
“Senior Yuqing…”
The leader of the Yuhua Sect approached a few steps: “Something seems amiss…”
“Hmph… the Golden Eagle Sect, Ziyang Sect, and Sanjue True Sect… these sects came uninvited. What more needs to be said?”
Old Daoist Yuqing sneered: “Most of these sacred land sects are vassals of the Kongming Heaven, acting as mouthpieces for the alliance… they mean no good! You’ll see, these are just the small fry. When the Heaven Immortals arrive, there will likely be more…”
Boom!
As he spoke, his expression changed: “The host has arrived!”
Most Earth Immortals present sensed the change, stood up, looked solemn, and led the way in bowing toward the center: “We welcome the Immortal Sage!”
Clouds rippled, and treasures’ light pierced the sky. A celestial being appeared in the venue as if teleporting.
He looked middle-aged, with skin as smooth and translucent as jade, slightly raised eyebrows, and an enchanting charm. He seemed to be constantly surrounded by elixir qi, rising like lingzhi mushrooms. This was none other than Rongcheng Baoguangtian’s master, Rongcheng Xiantian!
“Esteemed guests, I have little to offer in hospitality, but I have prepared some tea and fruits. Please accept them kindly!”
Rongcheng Xiantian’s voice carried a unique charm. Most female cultivators present couldn’t help but show signs of enchantment. The beloved girl brought by Yuhua’s leader had stars in her eyes, looking like a lovesick girl.
Wu Qing, however, felt a chill run down her spine: “It’s said that Heaven Immortals are close to the Dao and can harness the power of the world. Seeing this now, it’s truly as rumored!”
Because Heaven Immortals are close to the Dao, their form and temperament are all transforming toward the Dao, showing signs of “immortalization.” Even female cultivators with strong willpower are easily attracted.
Crack! Crack!
Wu Qing was naturally incomparable to ordinary female cultivators. At this moment, she noticed more.
Under her feet, a sprout suddenly broke through the soil, growing vigorously, transforming into vines that rapidly spread out, forming into chairs.
Purplish-red flower buds bloomed, each containing a cup of spiritual spring water, carrying astonishing spiritual power and fragrance.
In just a short while, these vines covered the entire cliffside, transforming into tables, chairs, and other objects, even automatically producing fruits that could be freely taken and consumed.
“Excellent!”
Old Daoist Yuqing picked up a crimson-red big jujube and smiled: “This fruit is not easy to cultivate. You all should eat more of them!”
“Is the Heaven Immortal’s technique really this powerful?”
Wu Qing paid no attention to the spiritual spring water or fruits but murmured to herself.
“If not for such power, why would we devote ourselves to the Dao with unwavering determination?”
The Daoist chuckled: “However… even a Heaven Immortal drawing upon the world’s power couldn’t achieve such life-giving abilities. The reason Immortal Rongcheng can do this is due to the advantage of his location. Even so, it’s still terrifyingly powerful…”
“Advantage of location? A cave heaven?”
Wu Qing’s eyes lit up.
“Without the power of a cave heaven, how could such a spectacular scene be created? This is the technique of illusory flowers in the void, projecting a cave heaven!”
Old Daoist Yuqing explained in detail: “Right now, we can be said to be both inside Rongcheng Baoguangtian and outside the cave heaven. This is an unparalleled technique of overlapping two realms!”
As he spoke, he couldn’t help but feel envious himself.
The power of a cave heaven clearly surpasses that of a sacred land. As for the Golden Immortal above it, who knows what great abilities they might possess?
Unfortunately, he had made a mistake years ago, when the Fan Sect intercepted the dragon fortune of the Zhou Dynasty for three hundred years, causing the dynasty’s collapse midway… otherwise, if his achievements had been complete, there might have been a chance to attain Heaven Immortality.
“Such a grave mistake has been made, nothing can be done…”
Old Daoist Yuqing sighed inwardly, his eyes showing a hint of helplessness: “Although I previously sent my beloved disciples and younger brothers to face tribulations, my connection with the Zhou Dynasty is still not easily severed. When the heavenly mandate formally shifts, I might suffer another backlash…”
His eyes shifted to Wu Qing, and he nodded inwardly: “Perhaps the hope of my lineage really must be entrusted to this girl…”
“These pears and fire jujubes are all immortal seeds I have gathered. Although they aren’t particularly rare, they are still hard to come by in the outside world… everyone is welcome to enjoy more of them!”
A cloud bed appeared, and Immortal Rongcheng sat cross-legged upon it. Three flowers emerged from his crown, and five qi streams converged into auspicious clouds hanging down. Indeed, he looked like a Daoist Heaven Immortal at first glance.
“Thank you, Immortal Sage, for your generosity!”
The crowd of Daoists bowed in unison. The Earth Immortals could still maintain their composure, but the younger generation, sensing the refined spiritual energy in the immortal fruits and spring water, couldn’t help but become greedy. They hurriedly stuffed the fruits into their mouths, gulping them down hastily, fearing they might miss out.
Wu Qing, however, felt inexplicably uneasy. After eating just one fire jujube, she stopped and gazed blankly toward the west, lost in silence.
“Excellent!”
At this moment, Immortal Rongcheng also stood up: “Daoist Yunshan has arrived, bringing another companion. With so many honored guests, this humble immortal is truly delighted!”
