Chapter 591: Chapter 281: Arrival of the Guiding Team

Lu Yi and the Ling Luo Peak Master also arrived in the sky.

Liu Ningshuang and Jian Ruyu’s Power of Laws surged around them, with one’s body surface revealing ice crystals, making the very vacuum around them seem to congeal with frost.

The other was shrouded in sharp sword light, turning the entire world into a sea of swords.

Both of their strengths were formidable, so naturally, the thunderclouds that had gathered were also quite substantial.

Mutually understanding, they started their Tribulation Crossing from a great distance to avoid disturbing each other.

After Lu Yi and the Ling Luo Peak Master arrived, Long Yuan and the others quickly flew over.

“Second Lady, Fellow Taoist Lu Yi.”

One by one, the immortals greeted them.

“Fellow Taoist Lu Yi, now that you’ve broken through to the Heavenly Immortal Level, you should be heading to the Jiuyou Battlefield soon, right?” Long Yuan looked at Lu Yi.

The other immortals were also curious. Hearing about the Jiuyou Battlefield, their faces showed apprehension and even some fear.

As immortals, they had naturally been there too, and had left behind indelible memories.

Lu Yi smiled and nodded, “As soon as the cultivators from the Three-eyed Clan arrive, I will be leaving.”

Wang Jianyuan sighed, “Fellow Taoist Lu Yi, you must be careful when you go there. Jiuyou’s Land is incredibly tricky. It was there that I was corrupted by Jiuyou, which eventually led to a grave mistake.”

Lu Yi understood that Wang Jianyuan was referring to the Immortal Sword Sect incident. He nodded slightly, “Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Taoist Wang. I will be cautious.”

Bu Yunjian opened his mouth, then cupped his fists and said, “Fellow Taoist Lu Yi, if you are going to the Zhen’an Battlefield within the Three-eyed Clan’s territory, could you please take care of Wei Kang from my Divine Sword Sect?”

Lu Yi was startled, “Wei Kang is?”

“He is the second immortal from my Divine Sword Sect to ascend. However, he entered the Zhen’an Battlefield decades ago, and I do not know his current situation,” Bu Yunjian said with a wry smile.

Lu Yi nodded slightly, “If I end up going to the Zhen’an Battlefield, I will look out for your fellow sect member.”

With Lu Yi’s promise, Bu Yunjian was overjoyed and hastily bowed, “Thank you, Fellow Taoist Lu Yi!”

Soon, the Heavenly Tribulation for Jian Ruyu and Liu Ningshuang officially began.

Both possessed astonishing talents and were similarly strong, attracting an Ascension Thunder Tribulation that was naturally formidable.

Although it was not as powerful as Lu Yi’s tribulation, there were still two Exotic Heavenly Thunders.

This caused the gathered immortals to be greatly astonished and filled with envy.

In the Mortal Realm, they might have been geniuses, but after their ascension, they found that there were many more geniuses far surpassing them.

Although the Heavenly Tribulation was strong, Jian Ruyu and Liu Ningshuang were not weak. After all, they were often practicing with Lu Yi, benefiting from his insights into Immortal Techniques and Laws.

Moreover, with the Immortal Artifacts Lu Yi had given them, defending against the tribulation wasn’t particularly difficult.

Still, getting dirty and disheveled was inevitable.

Soon, the thunderous tribulation dissipated, and the two were bathed in blood, their aura many times stronger than before.

They had officially ascended to immortality.

Their injuries healed at an extremely fast pace, and as they exchanged glances, their eyes both held an expression of joyful surprise.

They then flew towards Lu Yi and the others.

“Congratulations, Fellow Taoist Jian Ruyu.”

“Congratulations, Fellow Taoist Liu Ningshuang.”

If it had been before, they would have just been juniors, but having achieved the rank of Heavenly Immortal, they were now on equal footing with these seniors.

Liu Ningshuang and Jian Ruyu responded one by one.

The Ling Luo Peak Master nodded in satisfaction, “Not bad at all, let’s return.”

Long Yuan and the others: “…”

Their hopes of enjoying free meals and drinks were shattered once again.

A group of people returned to Ling Luo Peak.

Liu Ningshuang and Jian Ruyu eagerly returned to their cave mansions to meditate and stabilize their realms.

Unlike Lu Yi, when they made their breakthrough to the level of a Heavenly Immortal, their spiritual energy was transforming into Immortal Spirit Qi; the fluctuations in their aura were intense and required time to stabilize their realm.

…

Another half-month passed.

Suddenly, a void appeared in the vacuum of space. A flying ship adorned with statues of the Three-eyed Clan burst forth, heading towards Tianming.

On the flying ship, Ba Mu and several cultivators from the Three-eyed Clan looked towards Tianming not far away.

A few cultivators from the Three-eyed Clan appeared somewhat nervous. One of them turned to Ba Mu and said, “Fellow Taoist Ba Mu, it seems we’ll need to trouble you to make the introductions for this guiding mission.”

“Could this breakthrough be the work of that legendary figure? The prodigious person who received endless praise from military leader Yu Tianfeng, the direct disciple of the Second Lady of the Yu Family?”

“I wonder what the temperament of that fellow Taoist is like? He’s not difficult to talk to, is he?”

Ba Mu replied with a smile, “Fellow Taoists, no worries at all. Since you’ve all found me, I will naturally do my best. By my estimation, it must be that fellow Taoist indeed. His talent is truly formidable; it took him such a short time to attain ascension. But rest assured, that fellow Taoist has a gentle disposition and won’t give you any trouble. And with the Second Lady present, the rules set by the Yu Family are clear–she, of course, knows them best.”

Hearing this, the cultivators from the Three-eyed Clan visibly relaxed.

“That said, we’re not familiar with that person after all. It’s easier to talk when there’s someone we know around, right?” another cultivator from the Three-eyed Clan said with a chuckle.

Ba Mu nodded slightly, “Indeed.”

The flying ship quickly entered Tianming, and under Ba Mu’s guidance, it flew towards the direction of the White Cloud Sect.

…

Lu Yi, of course, sensed the powerful aura of an Immortal appearing in Tianming, coming towards the White Cloud Sect. He opened his eyes, and a glimmer flashed within them.

“Have they arrived?”

He turned into a streak of light and left the cave mansion, arriving at the peak’s summit.

“Master, your disciple requests an audience,” Lu Yi called out, standing in front of the bamboo house.

Soon, the door of the bamboo house opened. “Come in.”

The Ling Luo Peak Master lay on a bamboo couch, looking like a salted fish with sleep-filled eyes.

Ever since the Rashamon Clan’s army had retreated, he had returned to his salted fish ways.

“It must be the guiding team that has arrived,” the Ling Luo Peak Master sensed the presence too.

At that moment, the flying ship landed not far from the White Cloud Sect. Several auras approached rapidly, and upon reaching the outskirts of the White Cloud Sect, they voluntarily stopped.

“Greetings, fellow Taoists of the White Cloud Sect. I am Ba Mu, a friend of Lu Yi. I wish to meet with Fellow Taoist Lu Yi.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Yi’s expression became somewhat peculiar.

He hadn’t expected Ba Mu to be the one who came.

The Ling Luo Peak Master’s expression was also a bit odd. “The guiding team must have guessed that it was you who ascended. Otherwise, they wouldn’t show such a pleasant temper towards an ordinary newly-ascended cultivator.”

In fact, not only was the Ling Luo Peak Master feeling bemused, even those who anticipated the spectacle, like Long Yuan and others, had peculiar expressions at the moment.

They too had been guided in the past, and they hadn’t been treated nearly as kindly.

Without much thought, the Ling Luo Peak Master took Lu Yi with him and flew out, arriving above the clouds.

Ba Mu and several Immortals from the Three-eyed Clan were present. Upon seeing the Ling Luo Peak Master, Ba Mu quickly bowed with his hands clasped in front. “Greetings, Second Lady.”

The other cultivators from the Three-eyed Clan, who were quite observant, followed Ba Mu’s lead once they saw his actions. “Greetings, Second Lady.”

“Mhm, you’re the Guiding Team from the Three-eyed Clan, right? Lu Yi cannot go with you,” she said.

“Ah?” The expressions on the faces of the cultivators from the Three-eyed Clan, including Ba Mu, froze.
