Immortal Life: Starting with Daily Last Words

Ten days later.

Qi Donglou successfully passed through quarantine.

Yu Daoxuan and his disciples, including Zhu Hongyi, gathered inside the Xuanxin Cave to celebrate their master's breakthrough to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Qi Donglou is only a little over 120 years old, and there are still more than a hundred years before he reaches the limit of Foundation Establishment. He has a great chance of breaking through to the Purple Mansion in the future.

Before long, Cao Can and his third uncle Lin Zhao, along with their disciples, came to offer their congratulations.

Since everyone belonged to the same lineage of the Jade True Ancestor, the gathering of fellow disciples made for a lively occasion.

Qi Donglou sat in the main seat and recounted in detail his breakthrough to the peak of Foundation Establishment during this seclusion and his insights from many years of cultivation.

Whether it was Cao Can and Lin Zhao, who were both at the Foundation Establishment stage, or the group of young disciples, they all gained a great deal.

Half an hour later, Qi Donglou finished his sermon, and Yu Daoxuan was about to get up to ask for his guidance when he suddenly felt a terrifying phenomenon outside the cave.

Qi Donglou frowned and immediately stood up: "Everyone, come with me to take a look."

The group quickly stepped out of Xuanxin Cave and looked up towards Tiandu Peak.

All around, boundless spiritual energy surged and converged from all directions, transforming into a raging torrent of spiritual energy that surged wildly toward the summit of Tiandu Peak.

This earth-shattering commotion instantly alarmed most of the sect's disciples, who all came out of their cave dwellings and halls to whisper and discuss it endlessly.

Before long, the sect leader Feng Jingting appeared in the clouds, his voice echoing throughout the mountains.

It turned out to be Elder Cui Xiangyang of the Inner Sect, who was currently breaking through the bottleneck of the Purple Mansion realm at Tiandu Peak.

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole mountain erupted in cheers.

"Could it be that my Qingyuan Sect is about to produce its fourth Purple Mansion True Cultivator!?"

Zhu Hongyi, Zhou Keji, and other young disciples were excited, their eyes fixed intently on Tiandu Peak, hoping that the sect would gain another powerful figure and its strength would increase greatly.

Only Yu Daoxuan glanced at the elders beside him, a sense of gravity creeping into his heart.

Qi Donglou and his wife, along with Cao Can and Lin Zhao beside them, showed no joy whatsoever. Instead, their brows were furrowed and their expressions were solemn.

Clearly, this matter is far more complex than it seems.

Sure enough, in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the tide of spiritual energy that had swept across the mountains receded like the tide itself, disappearing completely in an instant.

Seeing this, Cao Shen couldn't help but say with a dark face, "We've failed."

Qi Donglou remained silent, his sleeves fluttering lightly, and led the group back to Xuanxin Cave.

The festive atmosphere inside the cave vanished, leaving only a heavy, oppressive feeling.

As soon as he sat down, Cao Can could no longer contain his indignation and said in a deep voice, "I really don't understand why the sect gave that Jade Void Breakthrough Pill to Cui Xiangyang. If it had been left to our senior brother, with his foundation and potential, he would have had a very high chance of succeeding in his attempt to break through to the Purple Mansion realm."

The senior brother Cao Can mentioned was Guo Xiaotian; the three of them were all disciples of the Jade True Ancestor.

The Jade True Ancestor had a total of six direct disciples. Guo Xiaotian was the eldest, Qi Donglou was the second, Lin Zhao was the third, and Cao Can was the fourth.

Qi Donglou glanced around at the disciples and his two junior brothers inside the cave and gently advised, "Fourth Junior Brother, this matter should be decided by the three elders. Do not discuss it casually outside."

"Furthermore, Patriarch Cui devoted his entire life to the sect, making great contributions. In recent years, he even led the sect to acquire the amethyst mine, accumulating countless cultivation resources for the sect. Moreover, the Jade Void Breakthrough Pill was also purchased by Patriarch Cui from Xuan Yu Immortal City."

"It is perfectly reasonable and justifiable to bestow the Jade Void Breaking Pill upon his nephew Cui Xiangyang."

Hearing Qi Donglou's explanation, Cao Can, though still resentful, could only purse his lips and say no more.

But this dullness didn't last long. A bright white communication talisman flew through the air into the Xuanxin Cave and landed directly in Qi Donglou's hand.

His divine sense swept across the area, and his previously calm expression suddenly changed drastically.

Upon seeing this, Cao Can and Lin Zhao were alarmed and quickly asked, "Second Senior Brother, what happened? Could it be that Cui Xiangyang's forced breakthrough led to his demise?"

Qi Donglou slowly shook his head and said heavily, "Cui Xiangyang forcibly attacked the Purple Mansion and suffered severe injuries. When Ancestor Cui heard that his attempt had failed, he fainted on the spot."

Cao Can, who had just been secretly gloating, felt a sudden sinking feeling in his heart upon hearing this.

Outsiders may not know the details of our sect, but those of us at the Foundation Establishment stage know it all.

Ancestor Cui is the oldest of the three remaining Purple Mansion True Cultivators in the Qingyuan Sect, and also the one with the highest magical power. He is known as the number one cultivator in the Southern Sea Continent.

The lifespan of a Purple Mansion cultivator is capped at five hundred years. Now, Ancestor Cui is over four hundred and fifty years old. He also specializes in killing techniques and has experienced countless battles and fights throughout his life, inevitably leaving him with hidden injuries and chronic illnesses.

In previous years, in order to compete for the amethyst mine, he even fought a great battle with an old master of the Purple Mansion on Pingsha Island. Although he narrowly won, he was also injured.

This sudden shock and fainting could have dire consequences.

After this incident, Qi Donglou naturally had no heart to answer questions for his disciples anymore.

Yu Daoxuan was also filled with mixed feelings.

Just now, when the surge of spiritual energy swept across the mountains, all the disciples thought that the sect was about to flourish and gain another powerful figure.

However, the situation changed drastically in an instant, giving people a sense of the sun setting in the west.

Returning to his cave dwelling, Yu Daoxuan suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind and calmly meditated to cultivate.

The sect is in turmoil, but with his meager cultivation at the eighth level of Qi Refining, he can't change anything.

The only thing to do is to calm down and hone one's skills, accumulating strength bit by bit, so that one can protect oneself in future storms.

As the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly.

Just two days later, Guo Xiaotian, who had been away at sea for a long time, returned to his clan, bringing back even worse news.

Wang Xuanjiao was attacked by cultivators from Pingsha Island and was seriously injured.

Upon returning to Xuanxin Cave, Yu Daoxuan finally learned the details from Qi Donglou.

After the Jade Dragon Fair ended, Wang Xuanjiao received a distress message from Sun Ruomei, a female cultivator from the Sun family on Xunyang Island.

In order to curry favor with the power of Pingsha Island, the Sun family forcibly arranged a marriage, intending to marry Sun Ruomei to a true disciple of Pingsha Island.

Wang Xuanjiao, a man of great loyalty and righteousness, couldn't bear to see Sun Ruomei suffer, so he invited a group of friends to intercept her on the way to the wedding.

This action angered Pingsha Island, and a large number of its disciples were dispatched to hunt him down.

Wang Xuanjiao was outnumbered and suffered severe injuries, nearly dying on the spot.

Fortunately, Guo Xiaotian happened to be passing by in his boat and rescued him, taking him back to Qingyuan Sect to recuperate.

Yu Daoxuan went to visit Wang Xuanjiao, who was still seriously injured and unconscious, and was filled with emotion.

Since ancient times, heroes have been sad for beauty.

Wang Xuanjiao was usually calm and composed, but he was willing to risk his life for a woman, even at the cost of offending Pingsha Island, whose strength was no less than that of Qingyuan Sect, thus bringing about a great disaster.

Fortunately, Guo Xiaotian received timely treatment, which prevented his life from being in danger. He will recover after a few days of rest.

However, Pingsha Island has always been at odds with our sect, so this matter is by no means going to be left unresolved.

Yu Daoxuan was filled with mixed thoughts. After visiting the sect, he went to the sect's treasury.

The sect's treasure vault is located on Xingxuan Peak, one of the sect's seven main peaks.

Its peaks soar into the clouds, covered with bamboo and trees. Looking down from above, one sees verdant peaks surrounded by a sea of ​​clouds, resembling a fairyland.

The sect's treasure vault is a highly important place within the sect. Yu Daoxuan had to go through several rounds of checks before finally arriving at the vault.
