Fantasy: I, the Great Celestial Venerable of the Dao

Dugu Yuyun shook his head dejectedly and uttered a chilling number:

"At most... two years."

In the past year, its growth has far exceeded all historical records, and the increasing human conflicts and resentments have all become its nourishment.

Two years!

Dao Xuan's heart sank.

This timeframe is far too short for the pursuit of immortality, which often takes decades or even centuries.

Even with his extraordinary talent, he has only recently stabilized his Earth Immortal realm.

The realm of celestial beings, capable of calmly handling the potential chaos in the six realms, is still a long way off.

Disciples need more time to grow.

"Brother Dugu, this matter certainly requires utmost caution; we must plan carefully before taking action."

Dao Xuan's voice was more serious than ever before.

"The most urgent task is to prolong the suppression as much as possible, so that we can have a chance to improve our cultivation and accumulate strength."

I immediately dispatched an elder from the Qingyun Sect's Array Hall, along with relevant sect texts and disciples skilled in array formations.

Head to Mount Shu to help stabilize and strengthen the seal of the Demon-Locking Tower, and slow down the spread of evil energy.

The matter of the convergence of the six realms should never be initiated lightly unless absolutely necessary.

In this time that has been gained, our two factions, and indeed the righteous path of the world, must do everything in our power to enhance our strength.

In order to prepare for a future calamity that may far surpass the calamity of the Beast God.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yuyun perked up slightly and quickly cupped his hands in greeting: "You are truly virtuous!"

This arrangement is the safest.

The entire Shu Mountain community will fully cooperate with Fellow Daoist Qingyun to reinforce the seal and study the ancient formation in order to find a foolproof solution.

After ending the call, Dao Xuan immediately gave an order to Elder Tianyun Daoren of the Array Hall.

He personally selected elite troops, carried valuable treasures, and rushed to Mount Shu.

……

Time flies, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Qi Hao, Lin Jingyu, Li Xiaoyao, and Zhao Ling'er went to Yuzhou to deal with the poisoner.

They finally returned to Qingyun Mountain to report back.

Accompanying them were two guests—Tang Kun, the lord of Tangjiabao in Yuzhou, and his granddaughter, Tang Xuejian.

In a side hall of the Jade Purity Palace, after listening to the detailed report from Qi Hao and the others, Dao Xuan nodded slowly.

Things turned out much as he had predicted.

The root of the poisonous man's calamity was indeed in Tangjiabao, but it was not Tang Kun's original intention.

Instead, it was a Tang Clan elder in the fortress who was obsessed with poison arts and intended to refine a "Poison God" in order to gain immortality and power, who was secretly conducting evil experiments.

Carelessness could lead to the leakage and mutation of toxins, causing a major disaster.

Qingyun and the disciples of Shushan joined forces and, after many twists and turns, finally identified the culprit and destroyed the source of the poison.

They also assisted Shushan in preparing effective elixirs to suppress and resolve the epidemic, which initially brought the epidemic under control.

Tang Kun expressed his gratitude and remorse, and was also impressed by the demeanor and sense of responsibility of the Qingyun disciples.

He personally brought his granddaughter to the door, partly to express his gratitude, and partly... actually to ask for an opportunity for Tang Xuejian to become a disciple of the Qingyun Sect.

It is worth mentioning that Lin Jingyu and others intervened in a timely manner, providing crucial clues and assistance.

Tang Kun, who was supposed to die of grief and anger due to the poison incident in the original "memory".

Although this was mentally and physically demanding, we made it through.

However, Tang Xuejian's arrival was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake.

This stirred even deeper ripples in Dao Xuan's heart.

Because of this woman's appearance, it is inevitable that another person will be involved—Jing Tian, ​​the shop assistant who may still be dreaming of getting rich in a pawnshop in Yuzhou at this moment.

Or perhaps, in his previous life, he was Fei Peng, the number one general in Heaven.

Regarding Jing Tian's identity, whether it's the ancient Shu Mountain or Qingyun with Dao Xuan's "prophetic" perspective.

They all already knew the truth.

However, both sides tacitly refrained from actively recruiting this "infinitely potential" reincarnated deity.

Dao Xuan could guess some of Shushan's concerns.

Fei Peng's involvement with the Heavenly Emperor is too significant. Although Mount Shu is a leading force in the human realm, it may not be able to withstand the consequences.

Dao Xuan's own considerations were even more profound: Fei Peng was banished to the mortal realm just before the separation of the six realms.

Is this a coincidence, or a hidden trap planted by the Heavenly Emperor?

The Heavenly Emperor divided the Heavenly Book, which recorded the laws of heaven and earth, into six parts and scattered them in various places.

What kind of elaborate trap has been set up?

Dao Xuan would never believe it unless there was a shocking secret behind it.

Before our own strength is sufficient and the situation is clear.

He preferred to temporarily avoid any direct cause and effect related to the Heavenly Emperor.

Tang Xuejian's offer of herself is now an unexpected turn of events. Should we accept it, or not?

After a moment of contemplation, Dao Xuan had made his decision.

Fate is like a woven tapestry, inescapable.

Since the merging of the six realms may be unavoidable and contact with the celestial realm is inevitable, simply avoiding it is not the best strategy.

Taking Tang Xuejian under his wing might actually help him navigate the complexities of the future.

This provides another channel for observing, contacting, and even influencing relevant individuals.

"Please invite Elder Wan," Dao Xuan instructed the young Daoist.

Soon after, Wan Jianyi, dressed in a plain robe, entered the side hall.

Dao Xuan briefly explained the matter of Tang Kun and his grandson, and stated that he intended to take in Tang Xuejian.

However, Wan Jianyi received Tang Kun on behalf of the sect, while the specific arrangements were handled by Master Shuiyue of the Internal Affairs Hall.

Upon hearing this, Wan Jianyi's eyes flashed with a sharp light, as if he had instantly grasped the key point. He nodded slightly.

"Senior Brother Headmaster has considered everything carefully. This woman has a special destiny. Placing her under our tutelage not only demonstrates our magnanimity but can also be seen as a strategic move."

Junior Sister Shuiyue is fair and meticulous in her dealings; she is the most suitable person to teach her.

A moment later, in another, more spacious guest room, Wan Jianyi met with Tang Kun.

The two old men were a seasoned and composed martial arts master, and a powerful immortal cultivator who had experienced many vicissitudes of life. Although they were in different fields, they each possessed a unique and admirable demeanor.

During the conversation, Tang Kun spoke earnestly, expressing his gratitude to Qingyun for her help.

He also expressed his long-cherished wish that his granddaughter could escape the conflicts of the martial arts world and embark on the righteous path of immortality.

Wan Jianyi represents the Qingyun Sect.

The cooperation and efforts of Tangjiabao in handling the aftermath of the poisoning incident were affirmed, and Tang Xuejian's qualifications were also tested.

Good physical attributes.

In the end, Tang Xuejian successfully joined the Qingyun Sect and became a disciple of Master Shuiyue, the elder of the Internal Affairs Hall.

Tang Xuejian looked at Tang Kun at this moment.

"Grandpa, are you really leaving?" She was dressed in a red dress with white accents, and her face was exquisitely beautiful.

Tang Xuejian, as beautiful as an elf, pouted and said with some sadness and reluctance.

"Xuejian, it's not like you'll never see Grandpa again," Tang Kun said with a kind smile.

"You must cultivate diligently and get along well with your teachers, senior brothers, and senior sisters. You can no longer act like a child."

"Grandpa, Xuejian is very well-behaved," Tang Xuejian retorted instinctively.

Her stunningly beautiful face possessed an adorable, innocent charm.

"Alright, alright, I know my Xuejian is the best girl." Tang Kun said with a helpless and doting smile, but felt a little sad inside.

Then we descended Qingyun Mountain!

When she changed into the elegant dress unique to female disciples of Qingyun.

As I followed my senior sister toward Xiaozhu Peak, I glanced back in the direction my grandfather, Tang Kun, had come down the mountain.

He looked up again at the towering Tongtian Peak, his eyes lessening with sorrow and filled with anticipation for the future.
