From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 615 The Linglong Immortal Venerable Plan Begins

Li Chengqian secretly placed the Emperor's Brush deep within Lanyue Peak. The two then discussed the Three Thousand Great Daos. Just as they were about to leave, his mind was suddenly stirred, as if a clear spring had flowed through his heart.

“Li Chengqian…”

A calm and ethereal female voice resounded directly from the depths of his consciousness. He was familiar with this voice; it was none other than the Linglong Immortal Venerable!
"What are your orders, Immortal Venerable?" Li Chengqian responded in his mind, not daring to be negligent.

"I'll borrow your Azure Mirror of Illumination for a moment." The voice of the Linglong Immortal Venerable remained calm, yet carried an undeniable air of authority. "I need this mirror to see through the heavens and locate several secret treasures."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian pondered for a moment before agreeing without hesitation: "If the Immortal Venerable has any request, I will certainly comply."

With a thought, a clear light flowed from between his brows, and the ancient and profound Azure Mirror appeared. Guided by his will, the mirror trembled slightly, transforming into a beam of clear light that condensed into the figure of a Taoist priest in blue robes, identical to Li Chengqian but even more aloof and dignified. This was the spirit that Li Chengqian had nurtured with the wedge, and also the Azure Mirror itself.

"Heaven and earth are one, this is the unity of heaven and earth, you, this mirror..."

Upon seeing this cyan figure, even the Emperor's Brush, with its vast knowledge, couldn't help but stand up.

This is the realm of oneness with heaven and earth. In his long life, he had only seen one such realm, and that was himself. He never expected that today, he would see another one here.

Then, he looked at Li Chengqian as if he were a monster. He had talked to him about the unity of heaven and earth before, but that was just a discussion. How come this kid's Dao artifact has achieved the unity of heaven and earth?
This isn't scientific, no, this isn't cultivating immortality!
Li Chengqian simply smiled and said, "Luck, just luck!"

The Mirror Spirit in green nodded slightly to Li Chengqian's true form, then took a step forward, tearing through the void of Lanyue Peak and disappearing instantly.

A blessed land, atop Mount Sumeru.

Linglong Immortal Venerable was still dressed in a simple white Daoist robe, her black hair flowing down her back, her eyes clear as a newborn baby's, yet as deep as the ancient starry sky. When the blue-robed mirror spirit crossed endless space and appeared before her, a hint of obvious surprise appeared on her usually calm face for the first time.

She extended her slender, jade-like finger and gently touched the blue-robed mirror spirit. Her fingertip did not touch the physical entity, but a layer of clear light naturally rippled around the blue-robed mirror spirit, blending and resonating with the Daoist aura emanating from her fingertip.

"Heaven and earth as one...the true realm of oneness with heaven and earth!" Linglong Immortal Venerable murmured softly, her eyes gleaming with wonder. "Not only that, you've also cultivated this mirror spirit into your own avatar. Li Chengqian, you're truly an unexpected surprise."

The spirit of the mirror in green smiled calmly, its voice identical to that of its true self: "By chance, I've gained some insights. May I ask where the Immortal Venerable seeks this secret treasure by borrowing the mirror?"

Linglong Immortal Venerable withdrew her finger, her gaze seemingly piercing through the endless void, looking towards the dark river of fate, even though the river was now in chaos.

"Your Great Karma Technique severed the karmic ties between Fang Qingxue and Fang Han that day, causing the Gate of Eternal Life to tremble. The ripples it generated were far greater than you imagined," said Linglong Immortal Venerable calmly. "In the Immortal Realm, those ancient beings who were suppressed by the Gate of Eternal Life for countless ages, though not completely freed, have had their shackles loosened, gaining more autonomy and the ability to interfere in the lower realms than ever before. The chessboard of heaven and earth has been altered, and the changes far exceed any previous epochal shift."

She paused, then continued, "The great calamity is approaching. The gods and the immortal kings are nothing more than a minor ailment. The tremors of the Gate of Immortality have already alarmed the stars. The Heavenly Court's actions are about to begin. I can't linger here any longer. I need to recover my strength as quickly as possible, at least to reach the Heavenly Monarch realm. The Xuanhuang Great World, as the world closest to the Immortal Realm, has hidden countless ancient and even primordial secrets and relics since the beginning of time. Among them are many resources that can rapidly enhance my strength. The Taiyuan Immortal Mansion has been almost completely refined by the Xuanpin Daoist, becoming the foundation for his Dao. I cannot interfere. As for the Heavenly Martial Treasury…"

She looked at the blue-robed mirror spirit: "Then I'll leave it to you. Panwu Immortal Venerable's collection is perfect for your current stage. Especially the Ancestral Witch Mirror; it resonates with you. Absorbing it might allow you to advance further. As for the others, leave them to your original body. Tell him that to collect the Heavenly Martial Treasury, he must cultivate to the Chaotic Void Realm before the Divine Clan's Great Calamity. Otherwise, to use your crude men's words, he won't even be able to catch the hot shit..." Upon hearing this, the blue-robed mirror spirit was startled, immediately understanding Linglong Immortal Venerable's plan. She intended to take advantage of this chaotic time, when the giants hadn't fully awakened, to sweep away all known and unknown secrets of the Xuanhuang Realm with swift and decisive action, forcibly piling her strength to the Heavenly Monarch Realm, or even higher!
"Immortal Venerable's grand ambitions are admirable. However, the Feathered Ascension Sect's actions regarding the Heavenly Martial Treasury are already imminent..." the Azure-Clad Mirror Spirit murmured.

"It's alright." Linglong Immortal Venerable waved her hand. "Once I obtain a few key items and recover some of my strength, any trouble will be easily resolved. You should prepare yourself; the Xuanhuang Great World will not be peaceful from now on. Be careful not to miss out on anything good."

Before she finished speaking, she lightly raised her jade hand and pressed it lightly against the blue-robed mirror spirit. The clear light around the blue-robed mirror spirit fluctuated violently, and its form could no longer be maintained. It instantly reverted to the original form of the Azure Illuminating Mirror. The mirror surface flashed and was then enveloped by an invisible force, disappearing from the Exquisite Blessed Land in an instant, returning to Lanyue Peak along the mysterious connection.

At the same time, Li Chengqian, the true self in the quiet room of Lanyue Peak, trembled as the information obtained by the Qingyi Mirror Spirit flowed into his sea of ​​consciousness between his eyebrows.

“Sweep away all the secret vaults…attack the Heavenly Monarch…the variables are increasing…” Li Chengqian digested this information, his eyes becoming extremely sharp. “It seems that we must get our hands on the Heavenly Martial Vault as soon as possible. We can no longer play house with Hua Tiandu and Taiyi Sect. Oh dear, I seem to have forgotten something.”

He stood up, his figure blurred, and headed towards the Feathered Heaven Palace once more. This time, he went directly to the sect leader, Feng Baiyu.

"Chengqian, what's the matter that you're in such a hurry?" Feng Baiyu asked when he saw Li Chengqian's solemn expression.

"Sect Leader, this is a private matter, so I didn't mention it when we were in the Golden Immortal Hall." Li Chengqian got straight to the point. "During this investigation of the Divine Race, Qingxue and I went to the Chaotic Continent and met Senior Sister Yaoguang."

"Oh? You saw Yao Guang? How is she?" Feng Baiyu suddenly stood up, his expression somewhat excited.

"Senior Sister has established her own foundation on the Chaotic Continent, the Yao Guang Sect, which is now one of the top forces on the Chaotic Continent. Moreover, her cultivation has reached the Cave Heaven Realm."

"What? Yao Guang... she's at the Cave Heaven Realm?" Feng Baiyu's usually gentle and calm face finally showed a hint of surprise. Feng Yao Guang was his daughter, and father and daughter were of one heart. Hearing that his daughter had achieved such a feat, he was extremely gratified.

“Yes, Senior Sister Yaoguang is exceptionally talented and has innate wisdom, so it is only natural that she has achieved the status of a grotto-heaven.” Li Chengqian changed the subject. “However, what she has always been thinking about is rescuing her mother who is trapped in the Wuji Star Palace.”

Upon hearing this, Feng Baiyu's joy gradually faded, his brows furrowed, and he fell silent. The events of that year involved his romance with the Holy Maiden of the Wuji Star Palace, as well as the complex connections between him and the Wuji Star Palace. He had always felt guilty towards the mother and daughter, but he also had some concerns due to his own identity.

Li Chengqian looked at him, his tone calm yet teasing: "Sect Leader, if you keep hiding like a coward for too long, will you really become one? The Wuji Star Palace is nothing special. I encountered them once during this trip, and it was nothing serious. They're just relying on the Immortal Artifact Hunyuan Wuji Diagram to put on a show. Their true top-tier combat power isn't that strong. Take that Supreme Elder Star Emperor, for example; he's definitely not stronger than you. We're not going to destroy the Wuji Star Palace; we're just infiltrating to rescue people. With our combined strength, plus Senior Sister Yaoguang's inside help, it shouldn't be difficult."

Feng Baiyu's body trembled slightly. He looked at Li Chengqian with burning eyes and said in a deep voice, "You're right!! After this matter of the Heavenly Martial Treasury is resolved, regardless of success or failure, I will personally go to the Wuji Star Palace to bring back Yao Guang's mother!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian nodded: "Very well. Then this disciple will take his leave and await the Sect Leader's good news."

To be honest, it wasn't that he had forgotten about Feng Yaoguang; he just had always looked down on those scumbags and infatuated women who put on a melodramatic show in the cultivation world, so he selectively forgot about her.
