Fantasy: I, the Great Celestial Venerable of the Dao

After a while, the raging water jets became like tamed children.

Guai Guai was drawn back into the green pool by the Tai Chi diagram.

The world suddenly fell silent again, as if the earth-shattering event that had just occurred had never happened.

A mysterious figure suddenly appeared in front of the disciples, hovering in mid-air with flowing robes.

His wide white Taoist robe fluttered in the wind, and he was surrounded by a faint aura of immortality, as if he were a celestial being descended to earth.

The disciples behind him looked at this figure, their eyes instantly igniting with a raging fire, filled with indescribable reverence and fanaticism.

This figure acted like a stabilizing force, instantly calming all their fear and anxiety.

The disciples recognized the newcomer at a glance, and a thought flashed through their minds.

Of all the members of the Qingyun Sect, only the Sect Leader could save them from such a desperate situation!

"Disciple greets Sect Leader (Master)!"

More than sixty disciples bowed in unison, their voices respectful and loud.

"Hmm." Dao Xuan responded softly without turning his head, but a chill ran through his heart.

Despite the passage of many years, he still remembered the general plot, but some details had become blurred.

If he hadn't arrived in time, at least half of the most outstanding disciples of the Qingyun Sect would have been lost!

It should be noted that the Water Kirin's strength is comparable to that of the fifth or sixth level of the Upper Clarity Realm.

Even some of the weaker senior elders were no match for them; these disciples in the Jade Purity Realm were simply powerless to resist.

Thinking of this, Dao Xuan felt a surge of anger rising in his chest, and immediately activated the Qingyun Sect's spirit communication technique to contact the Water Qilin.

This water unicorn was a guardian spirit beast subdued by Patriarch Qingye. It held an extremely high position in the Qingyun Sect and was always arrogant. Even he, the sect leader, was too lazy to give it a perfunctory reply.

It wasn't until Dao Xuan broke through to the Yin God Realm and his strength improved day by day that the two of them gradually began to interact.

With its keen senses, the water unicorn instantly detected Dao Xuan's anger.

Realizing he had caused trouble, he quickly offered an explanation.

Dao Xuan listened to its explanation and understood what was going on. He casually glanced behind him.

Out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently caught sight of the inconspicuous black short stick in Zhang Xiaofan's hand.

His brows furrowed suddenly, and a look of seriousness flashed in his eyes.

This Soul-Devouring Staff is a tremendous calamity, capable of silently leading people astray.

Dao Xuan has always thought highly of Zhang Xiaofan. He believes that this young man is a promising talent and that if he can stay in the Qingyun Sect, he can be carefully nurtured.

He will surely become a pillar of society in the future.

But if we want to protect him, this Soul-Devouring Staff must not remain in his hands for long!

Having quickly made a decision, Dao Xuan first comforted the water unicorn with a few words, informing it that he would handle the matter.

The Water Kirin knew that Dao Xuan's strength was now unfathomable.

Not daring to say another word, it obediently retreated back into the clear pool.

Just then, the other chiefs and elders arrived one after another, their pupils shrinking in shock.

They stared in disbelief at Dao Xuan, who was suspended in mid-air.

Surprisingly, no trace of the Legend of Sword and Fairy was found!

The sect leader can actually fly through the air using only his physical body!

Unlike the shallow disciples of the Jade Purity Realm, these senior elders were deeply shocked.

Although they can also fly, they all need the power of magical artifacts or the blessing of spiritual treasures hidden in their clothing.

However, the Taoist robe on Ke Daoxuan's body did not show any spiritual light fluctuations from any magical treasures, clearly indicating that he was flying through the air solely based on his own cultivation!

The senior elders forcibly suppressed the shock in their hearts, but their excitement still surged like a raging storm. Their sect leader had actually broken through to that legendary realm!

How could they not be thrilled to have a living, breathing Taiqing Realm expert standing right in front of them?

Dao Xuan in the air noticed their gazes and instantly realized that his cultivation level had been exposed, but he didn't care at all.

Since he decided to comprehend the principles of Yin and Yang, he has rarely used magical artifacts.

He only possesses a single spirit bead used for communication.

Even the sect leader's personal sword, the Seven Star Sword, was left behind in the back hall of the Jade Purity Hall.

Dao Xuan glanced down at the crowd and said calmly, "Go back to the Jade Purity Palace."

Before he finished speaking, his figure had already transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the Jade Purity Palace.

Everyone then seemed to wake from a dream, and the chief elders suppressed their shock.

He led his disciples in a grand procession toward the Jade Purity Hall.

Among the disciples of Yuqing Realm, only Xiao Yicai and Qi Hao from Dragon Head Peak reacted the fastest. Both of them were extremely excited, but neither dared to say anything.

"I knew Master must have broken through to the Taiqing Realm!"

Xiao Yicai was secretly overjoyed.

The other disciples, on the other hand, were beaming with excitement and couldn't help but whisper among themselves about the thrilling scene that had just unfolded.

"Our sect leader is simply amazing! He effortlessly neutralized the Spirit Lord's devastating attack!"

"Our sect leader truly deserves to be called the leader of the righteous path!"

"Jingyu, our sect leader is too strong!"

"Xiao Fan, do you think we'll be able to reach that level in the future?"

"Maybe...it's possible."

The disciples' discussions reached the ears of the chief elder at the front, and with the exception of a few, everyone else was genuinely happy.

Now that Dao Xuan has broken through to the Taiqing Realm, the Qingyun Sect's strength has greatly increased, and they are also proud of it.

And among those few people, Cangsong was naturally included.

Even if they were filled with resentment, they could only keep it all bottled up inside.

When the disciples entered the Jade Purity Hall, Dao Xuan was already sitting on the throne above.

He raised his eyes and surveyed the group of promising talents from the Qingyun Sect below.

They found that the story was almost identical to the original, and only Xiao Yicai remained in the group.

This time, he did not send Xiao Yicai to handle the matter of the Blood Refining Hall, but instead had him continue to participate in the Seven Veins Martial Arts Tournament.

Apart from that, he did not deliberately interfere in other matters.

But he knew that from the moment he became Dao Xuan, some things had already quietly changed.

Looking at this group of energetic disciples, Dao Xuan smiled with satisfaction.

These people are the future hope of Qingyun Sect!

At this moment, Cangsong coughed lightly, and the disciples below immediately quieted down.

Dao Xuan nodded slightly and began to speak.

His words resonated deeply, stirring the passion of all the disciples.

Having experienced the events just now, the disciples' reverence and worship for Dao Xuan had reached its peak.

Even Xiao Yicai, who had followed him for many years, and the girl who was as cold as snow and quite stunning to him, could not hide their admiration. How much more so for others?

After the speech, the lottery began. Zhang Xiaofan's luck was still phenomenal; he once again drew a bye.

After arranging the battle list for the Seven Sects Martial Arts Tournament, all the elders and disciples withdrew, leaving only Dao Xuan and the heads of each sect in the Jade Purity Hall.

Dao Xuan first explained the reason for the water unicorn's anger.

Afterwards, they finalized the arrangements for the winning disciple to go to the Ten Thousand Bats Cave.

He then instructed his servants to take the six chief members to rest.

But the six people stood there, hesitant, as if they wanted to say something but couldn't.

Dao Xuan's gaze swept over the six people. Shui Yue raised an eyebrow, glanced at the five hesitant people beside her, and her clear, cold voice carried a hint of barely perceptible unease and curiosity:

"Sect Leader, you...you've really broken through to the Taiqing Realm?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Buyi and the other four immediately perked up their ears and fixed their eyes on Dao Xuan.

Although I was already certain in my heart, I still wanted to hear the answer with my own ears.

Dao Xuan chuckled upon seeing this, never expecting that everyone was so troubled by this matter.

He nodded slightly, his expression calm:

"I also broke through many years ago by chance."
