Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Yuqing Sea, Tianji Island, and Wulan Peak.

The sky was just getting brighter, purple air was coming from the east, the sun pierced through the mist, and coated the entire mountain with a layer of light gold.

Wulan Peak is not very tall, but it is extremely steep. Three sides of it are cliffs, and only one side is slightly flat, but it is also rocky and has only vines and old pines clinging on it.

The top of the mountain is even more rugged. A huge dark green rock several meters high points obliquely to the sky. The top is only a few meters in size, but it is extremely flat, as if it had been forcibly cut flat by someone and is extremely smooth.

A woman stood on top of a huge dark green rock, wearing a white shirt and with her long black hair hanging down to her waist.

If a man wants to be handsome, he should dress in soap. If a woman wants to be pretty, she should dress in filial piety.

The woman was dressed in white, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her lips were painted red, and she stood gracefully on the top of a dangerous peak. Her three thousand strands of black hair were smooth and stained with a layer of golden light, making her look like a fairy descending to earth.

But the woman's eyes were not as indifferent and ethereal as those of a fairy. They seemed to be gazing at something in the distance, revealing a bit of expectation and a bit of resentment.

Slowly, the morning sun rose, the mist dissipated, the world came alive, birds flew over the treetops, and white deer leaped among the woods.

But the woman did not move, she stood quietly on the top of the mountain, gazing far to the west, her eyes gradually dimming.

Half an hour later, the woman sighed softly and turned away.

Suddenly, a beam of light came from the sky and landed on the top of the boulder.

The escaping light disappeared, revealing a beautiful female cultivator. She was not as otherworldly as the woman, but more gentle.

She looked at the sadness between the woman's eyebrows and couldn't help showing a bit of pity.

She took two steps forward and gently held the woman's hands: "Junior sister, don't worry, Senior Chen loves you and will come to you soon."

The woman paused and sighed, "Sister, you don't have to comfort me. He said at the beginning that he would become my Taoist partner after I formed my infant."

"But since the demise of the two great royal families, he has returned to the continent. Over twenty years have passed, and there has been no news of him. He probably won't come back."

Senior Sister frowned and said, "Junior Sister usually talks about how great Senior Chen is. Why do you have no confidence in him now?"

The woman was silent for a while, then she said softly, "I know he is not the kind of person who will abandon you after having sex with you."

"But that's why I'm worried that he might have encountered some kind of misfortune and doesn't want to involve me, so he has been refusing to show up."

Senior Sister said softly: "Junior Sister, you are worrying too much. Senior Chen is already a great cultivator. The three royal families were all destroyed by him."

"Master also said that those famous ninth-level demon kings couldn't even hold out for a few breaths in front of Senior Chen."

"You have also seen Ao Li's corpse. Is there anyone else who can embarrass Senior Chen?"

The woman gently broke free from her senior sister's hand, turned around and looked to the west, her expression bitter: "I don't know either. The last time I met him, I asked him when we could live together in harmony."

“But he didn’t answer. He only said that after Ao Li died, he and I would become Taoist partners…”

The senior sister was puzzled and asked, "What's the difference?"

The woman shook her head. “I can’t really explain it, but I just have a feeling that he seems to be deliberately avoiding me, as if he is hiding something from me.”

Senior Sister frowned and said, "Since you think Senior Chen has something to hide, why don't you go find him and ask him in person?"

The woman turned around and smiled sadly: "How could I not go to find him? But his cave has long been deserted."

The senior sister was surprised and asked, "When did you go to see Senior Chen?"

The woman sighed quietly, "Sister, do you still remember that twelve years ago, I volunteered to guard the Qijin Sea Area, and two years later I returned to the mountain gate?"

The senior sister opened her eyes wide: "Junior sister actually went to see Senior Chen?"

The woman nodded. "I waited and waited, but there was no news from him. I was so anxious."

"He then asked the head master to send him out of the country, and secretly went to Renzhou, to the cave he had opened up in the Fengyuan Mountains."

"I waited for two years and he never came back."

"The cave of his sword-cultivating disciple Li Qingshan was also empty. He just returned." Senior Sister frowned and murmured, "Twelve years ago... Logically speaking, he should have stayed in the cave..."

The woman smiled bitterly: "Senior sister has never been to Renzhou. I have been waiting in Fengyuan Mountains for two years. How can I have a vacation?"

"Maybe I shouldn't keep standing here and wasting my time."

"I just hope that he is intentionally avoiding me, and not really getting into any trouble and not wanting to involve me..."

She turned around again, looked to the west, and said faintly: "Maybe I am just deceiving myself. He is a person who is devoted to seeking the truth and will not be burdened by love."

"The first time I met him was one hundred and eighty years ago. Old Ghost Ji was still alive. He was just a casual cultivator in the middle stage of the Jindan stage. I schemed against him."

"After entering Jueling Island, I joined forces with him in order to survive, but I only wanted to use him..."

The woman's eyes sparkled with a strange light: "Until we joined forces to kill Ji Laogui, he saved my life, and even faced Yuntian Patriarch directly, not giving in. I looked at his back, and he was so tall."

"From that moment on, I secretly fell in love with him, and later I just gave myself to him."

The woman's cheeks turned red, revealing a bit of embarrassment: "I originally just passed the pure spirit energy to him to avoid being targeted by another old ghost Ji."

"After leaving Jueling Island, I separated from him. I never thought that we would meet again..."

The woman turned around and sighed, "Now he is already a great cultivator, commanding the three major sects. Even the sect masters have to yield to him."

"I just had my baby, I am far from being worthy of him."

"He and I were together because of fate. Now that our fate has ended, it's time to part ways..."

The elder sister's expression changed, and she suddenly sighed: "Junior sister, I actually went to Renzhou and met his apprentice Li Qingshan."

The woman was startled and tightly grasped her senior sister's hand: "Where is he?"

Senior Sister said: "Qingshan doesn't know either, but he has already gone to find Senior Chen. If all goes well, there should be news soon."

The woman slowly loosened her hand and whispered, "Li Qingshan is his only disciple, how could he not know his whereabouts? It seems that he really doesn't want to see me..."

The senior sister took the woman's hand in return and said, "Qingshan would never lie to me. He has already gone to see Senior Chen."

"Perhaps in a year, a month, or even today, Senior Chen will come to you and become your Taoist partner."

The woman smiled bitterly: "Senior sister, there is no need to comfort me. I have been waiting for him for twenty years. If he really wanted to do this, why didn't he show up?"

The senior sister was speechless for a moment, she just gently held the woman's hand, feeling the slight tremor in her palm, with a bit of pity in her eyes.

At this moment, a young monk flew from a distance and landed on the woman’s cave halfway up the mountain.

But halfway through, he saw two people standing on the top of the mountain. He turned his light and came to the top of the mountain. He took a look at the bluestone that was only about ten feet in size, hesitated for a moment, and stopped a few feet away.

He clasped his fists and bowed to the woman, saying respectfully, "Uncle Master, Master has invited me. Please follow me."

The woman had calmed down by now and said calmly, "What does the Master want from me?"

This person is the closed disciple of Tianjizi. He is extremely talented. As soon as he formed the Dan, he became a true disciple of Tianjimen.

The young monk glanced at the woman quietly, his eyes full of awe: "Senior Chen Yuanchen brought the great monk Wang Xuange of Taiming Sect, the great monk Xuanweizi of Shaoxuan Sect, and the great monk Sima Long of Xuanyin Sect to propose marriage to our sect and marry Master Uncle Jing!"

The woman was stunned. The senior sister beside her was overjoyed. She held the woman's hands tightly and said, "Junior sister!"

The woman woke up as if from a dream and took a deep breath: "Thank you, Master Wang, for leading the way."

The senior sister let go of the woman's hand, but the young monk glanced at him and said with a smile: "Senior Chen also invited Senior Sister Liuye. I didn't expect that Senior Sister and Uncle Jing were together. This just saved me a lot of effort."

The woman turned around and looked at her in surprise.

The senior sister was startled, with a look of disbelief in her eyes. She lowered her head slightly, her cheeks flushed. (End of this chapter)
