This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

The little spirit hid in the spiritual spring, not daring to show its face. Suddenly, the boss, Yuxiu, took to the air and landed in front of the temple.

Looking at the ruins, he stood there stunned, as if struck by lightning.

A moment later, a mournful wail echoed throughout half of Qingyun City.

"Ah... Yunzhen... my son..."

Yuxiu searched frantically, leaving no inch or foot unchecked.

Finally, she found something: a small piece of rag, no bigger than the palm of her hand.

There was also a cloud pattern embroidered on it.

It was embroidered by her own hands, and every stitch and thread was filled with her love for Yunzhen.

"My son... Yunzhen..."

Yu Xiu was in tears, but her eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"Who...who is it?"

Clutching the tattered cloth tightly, she soared into the sky and flew towards the blessed land of Lingze.

Just as they took off from the temple, a master of the eighth level of the Heavenly Realm, clad in battle armor, blocked their way.

"Who...?"

"Get out of here..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yuxiu punched him, smashing him into the palace buildings and shattering countless structures.

It then flew directly into the Blessed Land of Spiritual Delight and disappeared.

Inside the temple, other generals, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but shout in anger:

"How dare you trespass on this blessed land! Guards..."

"Stop...Are you all crazy? How dare you stop her?"

Just as the general was about to gather his men to capture Yuxiu, someone stepped forward and stopped him in a panic.

The general was puzzled and asked:

"What's wrong? Who is she?"

"She's the owner of Lingquan Courtyard..."

"Just an innkeeper, how dare he trespass into my Qingyun Sacred Realm?"

"She also had another identity: she was the Holy Lord's personal disciple and, moreover, his daughter-in-law, but that was before..."

Inside the Lingquan Villa, Li Daoxuan sat leisurely by the Lingquan spring, showing no sign of the tension that followed his killing.

Putting aside whether they can deal with him, he lives in this Lingquan Villa, so there's no way they could find out about him.

Although martial artists are powerful in combat, they are not as skilled in various techniques and supernatural abilities.

Given that Li Daoxuan can conceal his presence, finding him is virtually impossible.

The owner of Lingquan Villa went to Lingze Blessed Land. Li Daoxuan didn't know what she said. When she came back, she looked like a vengeful ghost that had run out of hell.

His menacing aura was so overwhelming that it inspired fear in those who beheld him.

The first thing Yuxiu did after returning to Lingquan Villa was to find the little spirit and ask about the situation.

After all, the little sprite was the only one who had experienced this assassination attempt.

Because of Li Daoxuan's instructions, the little spirit did not hide anything and told him everything it had seen.

However, the expression is somewhat misleading.

Yu Xiu didn't suspect Li Daoxuan.

Enraged, Yuxiu tore off one of the little monster's arms as punishment.

Although the little monster can quickly grow new arms, the pain is real.

Seeing this, Li Daoxuan felt a chill creep into his heart.

In essence, the responsibility for Yunzhen's death lies more with her elders.

Spoiling a child is like killing a child. It was precisely because of their pampering that Yun Zhen became arrogant and treated human life as a joke.

Ultimately, he took his own life.

Moreover, judging from the boss's act of taking her anger out on the little monster, she is clearly not a kind person.

"This little guy is destined to be with me. After we resolve the matter of the Azure Cloud Sword Sect, it seems I'll have to find a way to take him away from here."

Li Daoxuan muttered to himself.

In the days that followed, Qingyun City was like a pot of boiling oil soup, and the whole city was in a state of excitement.

Yunzhen's death did not prevent the arrival of that once-in-a-decade grand day.

Within this vast territory spanning thousands of miles, millions of ordinary people flocked here, all for that slim chance.

Standing atop the pavilion of Lingquan Courtyard, Li Daoxuan watched those eager and ambitious people seeking to become his disciples, yet felt a sense of helplessness.

The reason why a sect or organization can be regarded as a goal by young people all over the world is not because the organization is so good.

Rather, once you join this organization, you can obtain many things that ordinary people can only dream of in their entire lives.

For example, power, wealth, and privileges that are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

This situation is common in any world, just like the college students in the previous life, nearly half of whom chose to take those exams...

Because everyone knows that once you step through that door, you can transcend social classes and become someone of high status...

Far away.

Li Daoxuan naturally had no interest in this whatsoever.

Not only that, he was also somewhat worried.

Only a year has passed since he left Jingming Cave Heaven, and the Daoist genealogy has already added more than ten new disciples.

It must have been Qingfeng who took him in after he left.

Li Daoxuan worried that one day the Daoist sect would become like the Qingyun Sword Sect now, a huge and extraordinary sect, where disciples would join not for cultivation, but to enjoy privileges that ordinary people could not have.

In this way, Taoism loses its most essential and core meaning.

This is why he left Jingming Cave Heaven immediately after designating the successor of the Great Zhao Emperor.

Because he has already affected the overall situation of Jingming Cave Heaven, if he continues to stay in Jingming Cave Heaven, everything will become unimaginable.

It might even trigger a backlash from the forces of heaven and earth, bringing unimaginable disasters to the creatures of this grotto-heaven world.

Li Daoxuan sighed, looked up at the sky, and murmured:

"I wonder how Qingfeng and the others are doing now..."

Within the Jingming Cave, about fifty miles away from Anyi County, lies a misty mountain range.

This mountain was originally nameless. When Qingfeng was traveling, he passed by this place and saw that the mountain was ethereal and full of life, with a hint of immortality. So he named it Qingxu Mountain.

He then built a Taoist temple on the mountaintop using the Five Elements techniques, where he lived and practiced his Taoist cultivation.

Qingfeng returned to Anyi County and told Mingyue about the matter. He then gathered everyone and expressed his desire to establish a sect on Qingxu Mountain and set up the Taoist temple there.

Zhu Jiu and Ye San Niang naturally had no objections, but Ming Yue hesitated. She didn't want to leave the current courtyard, worried that her master might not be able to find them if he came back one day.

However, Mingyue ultimately followed Qingfeng's arrangement, since her master had already passed on the position of the Taoist sect leader to Qingfeng before he left.

This was the first decision Qingfeng made regarding the Daoist sect after taking over as sect leader, and as the second sect leader, she naturally couldn't disobey it.

So everyone hurried off to Qingxu Mountain with Qingfeng.

The Taiyi Medical Clinic in Anyi County was not closed. It was temporarily looked after by Wang Juren until they were settled.

After arriving at Qingxu Mountain, Qingfeng, Mingyue, and Zhujiu began to display their supernatural powers, using the Five Elements techniques to create a Daoist palace. In just a few days, a celestial palace was erected on Qingxu Mountain.

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye...
