Chapter 9, you stand up and speak first
Everything appears as a mirage.
You are referring to that Yu Yuan who caused a commotion on Jiulong Island a few days ago, right
The last time he went to Kowloon Island, he only met Zhou Xin and Li Qi; today is the first time he has seen the main person.
Yu Yuan exhaled a smoke ring and glanced down, "You should stand up to speak; how can I see who you are sitting there?"
This is also the reason why he wants to board the Ark of Curved Realms
As Yu Yuan surveyed the group of intercepted sect immortals, he too was being scrutinized and examined by others
Accompanied by Yao Tianjun's hearty laughter, Lu Yue's figure flickered, gliding into the formation like a ghost.
No, no.
Although the disciples of the截教 sect have peculiar and unusual origins, they all appear quite presentable at first glance
Wen Zhong was still sitting in front of the door, his head drooping, leaning heavily against Dang Kang as he fell into a deep sleep
This person appears emaciated, with a small stature and a gaunt frame, hunched over. He is dressed in a bright red robe, and his pale face is covered with wrinkles. In his right hand, he leans on a bone staff that is white and lustrous, with a darkened tip that emits a faint green glow, as if it has been soaked in venom for years
"It is well said, it is well said. I have saved myself some trouble. You may enter the fray now, as we are about to set off soon."
Lü Yue almost couldn't catch his breath, "I was originally standing!"
It seems that this person should be the Qi Refiner Lü Yue from Jiulong Island
The body of an immortal is free from dust and impurities, clean and flawless, and fundamentally does not require washing or grooming
Within the formation, only Yu Yuan seemed oblivious to Lu Yue, as he lit a cigarette for himself, taking a deep drag and allowing the toxic smoke to linger in his organs for a while. After the toxins were absorbed and decomposed by his body, he slowly exhaled.
When Yu Yuan arrived at Tian Jue Peak riding the clouds, over a hundred figures had already gathered here
Since a few days ago when he "missed the master's lecture," he has been sitting cross-legged at the door, spending sleepless days and nights in the library, to prevent a "tragedy" from happening again
Yao Tianjun smiled and nodded: "Disciple, please wait a moment. Several junior brothers are heading to Qingqiu Mountain today, and it would be perfect for you to go together."
It takes only about ten to fifteen days to reach Beiju Luzhou from there
Faintly visible, a group of little figures dances and frolics among the flowers and branches, rejoicing at the "heavenly rain".
Yu Yuan was not in a hurry; it was only when the cigarette became too hot to hold that he pinched the butt in his palm and crushed it into ashes, while swaying unsteadily towards the formation
However, it is merely an acquaintance, and we are not particularly familiar with each other
What is going on
Yu Yuan was unconcerned, casually pulling out another cigarette and looking around at the assembled immortals, "Would you like to try some, esteemed uncles? It has a very pleasant flavor."
Who is that person? I have never seen them before.
However, the amplitude of the "pillow" shaking grew increasingly larger, startling him awake all at once
Oh
Seeing the faint mysterious light above his head, he must possess the cultivation of a high-level celestial being, likely a new disciple taken in by one of the senior brothers
He
However, that particular guard, upon sensing his gaze, trembled like a sieve, provoking Wen Zhong to mutter in dissatisfaction and reach out to pat the "pillow".
Indeed, nowadays my sect is undoubtedly the foremost sect of the primordial era
The so-called innate Dao body, when elaborated upon, can be described as the embodiment of the Dao; when simplified, it is merely the human form
One cannot help but acknowledge that they are inner disciples... Just look at that person who just passed by, merely at the upper level of Xuanxian, which is worlds apart from that Yu Yuan!
All is silent
The little figures on the flower branches are only as tall as a pinky finger, slender and beautiful, all dressed in colorful skirts, singing and dancing, joyfully celebrating.
Wen Zhong woke up in a daze, opening his eyes to look around.
Lü Yue's pair of green, glimmering eyes fixed on Yu Yuan, as if trying to see through his origins and background
The ethereal energy flows, and the divine radiance is boundless
To speak of the three generations of disciples, those trained in the outer sect are not sufficient; the truly formidable ones are the inner disciples who have cultivated in the Sacred Realm of Penglai
Yu Yuan reached out and pulled a jade bottle from the air. He opened his mouth and drank more than half of the spiritual spring inside the bottle. Then, he tilted his head back and let out a loud "ha la ha la" for quite a while, before puffing out his cheeks and spraying the spiritual spring out.
The Sacred Land of Penglai is considered adjacent to Golden Ao Island, yet he still took over an hour to arrive.
Above the East China Sea, a vast celestial island, as large as a continent, appears hazily in the morning light
Did... did Senior Brother really run away
At this moment, Lü Yue cupped his fists towards Yao Tianjun and spoke in a hoarse and grating voice: "I am going to the Northern Julu Continent to gather herbs, but it is quite convenient to set off from Qingqiu, so there is no need for you to go to any extra trouble, Senior Brother."
Yao Tianjun, stationed at the Ark of Qujing, estimated that those who were meant to arrive had already come, and thus called out: "Those who wish to go to the Mountain of Qingqiu, please enter the formation quickly; we shall depart after a stick of incense has burned."
People rejuvenate and nourish their spirits through sleep
In the mountains, the auspicious beast is hidden, while the unicorn lies on the steep cliff
Yu Yuan raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, could it be this coincidental?
As he spoke, he stood up and pointed to the several celestial beings of the截教 beside him: "Take a good look, which of my截教 immortals is not handsome and dashing, charming and elegant? How dare a mere three-inch nail like you impersonate my elder?"
Mists of smoke and clouds gather, as the sun and moon emit auspicious light
The Ark of the Curved Realm is a crucial artifact of the截教, overseen by the Ten Heavenly Lords. The entrance is located at the peak of Tianjue, the dojo of the foremost among the Ten Heavenly Lords, Qin Wantian.
Although it is said that the teachings of the截教 accept disciples without distinction, encompassing all backgrounds and origins, since ancient times, the aesthetic of the primordial immortals and the divine of literature has consistently gravitated towards the "innate Dao body." Therefore, any primordial immortal or deity with the ability to take form would invariably create an innate Dao body for themselves.
The multitude of immortals shook their heads in unison, indicating that they could not endure this thing
Because Beiju Luzhou is a treacherous place filled with poisonous miasma, Yuanyuan estimated that no one would go there, thus he chose the mountains of Qingqiu as his target
He placed the jade bottle back into the invisible pocket of the air, then casually took out a cigarette, lit it, and directed his gaze towards the nearby Shoujingguan.
The water of the spiritual spring gushed forth from his mouth, transforming into a fine, soft mist that slowly enveloped the flowerbed in front of the door
However, he is merely a mortal youth, so how could he possibly go without sleep all the time
The Ark of the Musical Realm requires considerable resources to activate each time. To avoid waste, it is typically only opened when at least five disciples of the截教 are present in the same location.
The whispers were inadvertently caught by Yu Yuan, who seemed oblivious to them. With a warm smile on his face, he proceeded to bow in greeting to the duty officer, Yao Tianjun, clearly stating his intended destination.
The vastness of the primordial wilderness is boundless and expansive
This matter has long been known outside the gates, can it still be false
Therefore, although there is no necessity for sleep, he occasionally chooses to indulge in a deep slumber after taking a bath in the evening
Yu Yuan was secretly pondering in his heart
Several celestial beings from the截教 have already seated themselves on the ground in the formation, waiting quietly
Each of them appears ethereal and otherworldly, with striking features
In addition to the nine-tailed fox, the mountains of Qingqiu are also rich in lapis lazuli, red sun jade, and other precious stones
Yes, that's him! I heard that he has only been apprenticed for a little over a thousand years, yet he is already able to revert Zhou Xin and Li Qi back to their original forms...
... ...
That extravagant and magnificent celestial palace has mysteriously vanished
Early morning
Yu Yuan floated gracefully on a white cloud, swaying gently as he entered the enchanting realm of Golden Ao Island with his books.
Within the截教, there are various kinds of supernatural powers being cultivated. Clearly, this仙 from截教 regards him as someone practicing the art of pestilence.
Yu Yuan's face revealed a smile, and the fatigue began to dissipate.
Finally arrived
Most importantly, the Mountain of Qingqiu is located in the northeast direction of the Southern Zhanbu Continent, separated from the Northern Juluzhou by only a strait
These are essential spiritual materials for refining tools, which the immortals of the截教 often go to collect
Wen Zhong rubbed his eyes vigorously, yet before him remained an empty expanse, with only a patch of colorful flowers still standing in place
A faint glimmer on the eastern horizon cautiously permeates the light blue sky
If one were to rely on oneself to travel to Beiju Luzhou, it would take at least three to five years
In recent years, the number of disciples I have taught has increased significantly, and I estimate that there are already over 10,000 celestial beings among my students
But he enjoys the feeling of being able to sleep without having to think about anything
This is also one of the habits he inherited from his previous life
At this moment, Yao Tianjun's voice came from outside the formation, "Junior Brother Lü Yue, are you also going to the Mountain of Qingqiu?"
On the fairy island, ancient trees reach the sky, silver waterfalls soar between the mountains, rainbows hang high in the sky, yellow cranes fly in rows, and azure phoenixes spread their wings
I ... ...
As the first rays of morning light pierced through the mist, Yu Yuan emerged from the Tianyuan Palace, yawning.
After expressing gratitude, Yu Yuan found a corner to quietly indulge in smoking.
Of course, regardless of their appearance, they are essentially old monsters that have lived for many years
The green pines and cypress trees endure through the ages, the wondrous grasses and precious flowers never wither, the celestial peaches and fruits resemble golden elixirs, and the green willows and poplars are like strands of jade.
Thick white smoke billowed from his mouth, spreading, curling, and slowly rising into the sky
... ...
Zhou Xin and Li Qi seem to have both attained the status of high-grade celestial beings, haven't they? Were they truly defeated by that Yu Yuan?
In the next moment, his three eyes suddenly widened, staring intently in the direction of the Heavenly Origin Palace.
Lü Yue
Yu Yuan elongated his voice, half-squatting down, and met Lv Yue's gaze: "Now I can see you, but... who are you? Do I know you?"
As Yu Yuan entered, all the immortals turned their gaze towards him. Among them, a slender, horse-faced immortal from the截教 sect caught a whiff of the lingering toxic aura on him, immediately furrowing his brows and coldly stating: "Just stand there, don't come too close to me"
He is doing well; the more he sleeps, the sleepier he becomes
He raised his eyes and saw a celestial being from the截教 descending from the heavens on a green cloud, landing before Lord Yao.
Along the way, he also encountered quite a few celestial beings from the截教.
In terms of appearance, he does not resemble an immortal at all; rather, he looks like a malevolent spirit that has emerged from somewhere.
As Yu Yuan had anticipated, there were indeed quite a few celestial fruits from the Jie Jiao on the mountain of Qingqiu, and soon seven or eight people gathered together.
The other few immortals of the截教, apart from Yu Yuan, quickly took two steps back, giving him enough space, and then together they bowed and said: "We pay our respects to Senior Brother Lü Yue."
The morning light slants down, illuminating the flowerbed in front of the palace gate, where vibrant hues of purple and red bloom in an instant
What happened ... ... Has the earth dragon turned over
Yu Yuan secretly laughed and did not wake him up
Countless celestial palaces, enveloped in divine light, are scattered throughout the island
However, there are too many disciples of the截教, and they are scattered across the vast wilderness, not familiar with one another.
Although Yu Yuan rarely appears in front of the outer disciples, he often traveled to various places in the Primordial World via the Qujing Ark for a period of time. Therefore, all ten Heavenly Lords responsible for guarding the Qujing Ark are familiar with him
After a moment, he slowly spoke: "When an elder is present, you do not bow. Who is your master? Has no one taught you the proper etiquette?"
From a distance, one can see several celestial beings dressed in Daoist robes and fairy skirts engaging in lively conversation, rarely exhibiting any peculiar or unusual appearances.
