Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 1262: After modification - 756 Brother will cover you, but only for a while
Chapter 1262: After modification: Chapter 756 Brother will cover you, but only for a while
Lingxu Cave, Half-falling Cliff.
True Master Yun Miao walked forward slowly and called out to the figure ahead, "Dan Emperor junior brother, weren’t you looking after Heavenly Tower Mountain? Why have you returned?"
Shen Yi, who had just landed, was slightly startled and then cupped his hands in explanation, "I heard from your sect disciples that True Master Ling Su has been feeling uneasy recently and went out to clear her mind. I thought about it for a long time and worried it might be because of me, so I plan to return to the cave to cultivate for a while."
"..."
True Master Yun Miao’s face slightly froze. Such a thing actually required a long time to think over before reacting?
But then he thought again; the Southern Continent has not yet been broken. The other party probably hasn’t touched on the matter of dividing incense offerings and doesn’t understand the ways within, which is somewhat reasonable.
It’s just that remembering to avoid suspicion at this point might be a bit late.
True Master Yun Miao sighed and forced a smile, "Dan Emperor junior brother, you’re overthinking it. Just because she went out to clear her mind, it is even more necessary for you to stay at Heavenly Tower Mountain and watch over it."
Shaking his head, he said, "You’ve just arrived in the Northern Continent, and you don’t quite understand. Although this vast land is full of our Three Immortals Sect’s Dao grounds, under the three Sect Hierarchs and the Five Directions Emperors, countless Immortal Lineages were passed down. Our Lingxu Cave is just one of them."
"Although we call each other fellow disciples..."
True Master Yun Miao thought of the response he had received from the previous group and couldn’t help but add some sarcasm to his smile, "The relationships between these caves aren’t as harmonious as you might think. It’s not quite the same as the hostile relationship you had with the Bodhi Sect in the Southern Continent, but it’s not far off."
"It’s like some elders, who obviously gave the orders initially, but after so long, have yet to show their face to you even once."
Ling Su’s departure clearly struck a heavy blow to True Master Yun Miao.
At this moment, besides wanting to win over Shen Yi, there was also a lot of resentment in his words.
"Rest assured, junior brother. I know you’ve suffered a lot of grievances. Before Master returns, I won’t just stand by and watch others bully you."
"Thank you for your guidance, senior brother Yun Miao."
Shen Yi slightly lowered his eyes, seemingly recalling the destruction of the Immortal Sect, and the death of his master at the hands of that monk. After a long silence, he lightly sighed, "I will return to Heavenly Tower Mountain first, but please convey a message to True Master Ling Su."
"I came to the Northern Continent not only to escape but also to seek justice for Shenxu Mountain. Even if I want a Dao ground, I will find it myself. When True Master Ling Su returns, Heavenly Tower Mountain will still be hers."
"..."
True Master Yun Miao nodded noncommittally.
Just based on the fierce and unyielding manner Shen Yi had shown when he left last time, this statement was true for the time being.
However, once he truly tastes the benefits of a Dao ground and the flavor of Emperor’s Aura, on the day when he is asked to hand over Heavenly Tower Mountain, his thoughts might be different.
"Farewell, senior brother."
Shen Yi turned and re-entered the Taixu, accompanied by the Southern Emperor and several town stones.
This return journey would determine the attitude of the Lingxu Cave’s head senior brother.
Based on the look Ling Su gave Yun Miao last time, Shen Yi was certain that she definitely wouldn’t inform the cave about plans to deal with him. And it turned out to be true.
So, Shen Yi’s path of integrating into the Northern Continent was half-opened.
Now, Shen Yi’s biggest problems were undoubtedly the reckoning with the Bodhi Sect, and how to cross the Second Rank Dao path, both controlled by the two Great Sects.
The former and the latter were actually the same thing.
That is, how to truly join the Three Immortals Sect and have a position high enough to obtain the True Skill.
And taking control of Heavenly Tower Mountain marked the beginning of this transformation.
Finally, there was a good starting point. The rest would depend on strength.
In the Northern Continent, where there are many monks but little gruel, these self-righteous Great Sect true disciples would never just sit back and see an outsider take a Dao ground.
...
The sun and moon rose and set, and another two months passed. freewebnoveℓ.com
True Master Yun Miao still sat at the edge of the cliff, breathing and meditating, but occasionally, he would glance at Ling Su’s cave. Clearly, his thoughts were not on cultivation.
He always used the excuse that he needed to make thorough preparations before acting, to cover up his unwillingness to leave the mountain.
But the departure of the last junior sister ripped through his facade without mercy.
The head senior brother was still sitting here while the junior sister of the same lineage needed to seek reliance on other fellow disciples. If this matter were to spread, the reputation of True Master Yun Miao of Lingxu Cave would be utterly destroyed.
"Can it really not wait any longer?"
True Master Yun Miao noticed the disturbance in his Dao Heart and could never settle down. He finally stopped pretending to meditate seriously and stood up, pacing around in slight agitation.
During these two months, disciples would frequently return to report.
That Taixu Pill Emperor was stationed inside Heavenly Tower Mountain with no unusual behavior, only being less stingy when organizing relief efforts, even ordering disciples to rebuild housing for the refugees.
He had likely already tasted the benefits of Emperor’s Aura and intended to act in this way to make the refugees forget about True Master Ling Su.
Ling Su’s prolonged absence, True Master Yun Miao couldn’t be bothered with these trivial matters. What really unsettled him was that an outsider from the Southern Continent was gradually securing a position in the Dao ground, while he, the senior brother of the lineage, had yet to gain anything.
His footsteps halting, he clenched his hands firmly.
A moment later, True Master Yun Miao finally made a decision, summoned his magic artifact, and flew toward Qingguang Cave.
A cultivator like him, who had reached the pinnacle of the Ninety-nine Changes, could not be satisfied like Ling Su, merely securing a piece of Heavenly Tower Mountain and being content.
