Following the bustling crowd through the mountain gate, I looked up and saw a magnificent palace standing before me.

"Purple Cloud Palace..."

Chen Xun's eyes flickered, and he felt a sudden, inexplicable shock.

The overwhelming force of this aura was enough to make his mind tremble.

As you enter the palace gate, you'll find groups of ordinary people burning incense and worshipping the gods.

There were also young Taoist priests dressed in robes guiding worshippers or interpreting their fortune slips.

Chen Xun saw the oldest young Taoist priest, dressed in a plain blue Taoist robe without any complicated embellishments, interpreting a fortune stick for an old woman with a sorrowful face.

Chen Xun's eyes were sharp, and he immediately recognized that the old woman was holding a very unlucky fortune stick.

Just as he was wondering how the young Taoist priest would interpret the divination slip for the old woman, he saw the young Taoist priest throw the very unlucky slip back into the divination stick container and smile as he said to the old woman:

"Madam, you drew the wrong fortune stick. Let me draw one for you."

Having said that, he casually pulled out a piece and handed it to the old woman.

It is an extremely auspicious fortune.

The young Taoist priest pointed at the fortune stick and laughed:

"Don't worry, your son will definitely turn bad luck into good. Go home and wait patiently."

The old woman was overjoyed and bowed repeatedly, saying:

"Thank you, Daoist Master, thank you, Daoist Master..."

Chen Xun stood there, stunned, watching this scene unfold.

He glanced back at Wang Jingshu, as if asking: "You can play like this?"

Wang Jingshu smiled without saying a word and slowly walked towards the young Taoist priest.

He lowered his head and said a few words, then waved to Chen Xun and Ling tide:

"Come here."

Chen Xun immediately realized that the young Taoist priest in front of him might be someone of extraordinary background.

Sure enough, when he came closer, Wang Jingshu introduced him with a smile:

"This is the eldest brother, Daoist Qingfeng, the leader of the Daoist sect."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xun and Ling tide were greatly shocked. They quickly straightened their clothes and bowed deeply, saying:

"Disciple Chen Xun (Ling tide) greets Headmaster..."

Qingfeng smiled and nodded, then helped the two up, saying with some excitement:

"My two junior brothers, there's no need for such formalities. Let's go to the inner sect and tell me properly about Master's recent situation..."

He then instructed Wang Jingshu to call Mingyue over.

Their master has been gone for more than a decade, and which of his disciples doesn't miss him dearly?

The inner gate behind Zixiao Palace does not accept pilgrims; it is a place for Taoist disciples to meditate.

Compared to the magnificent and solemn palace in front, this place of true immortal cultivation is much simpler.

Many disciples within the inner sect are currently cultivating themselves, either practicing martial arts to strengthen their bodies or meditating in tranquility to cultivate the Tao.

Upon seeing Chen Xun and his companion, they respectfully bowed and addressed each other as "Uncle-Master" after being introduced by Qingfeng.

This made Lingxi extremely proud.

When Mingyue and Wang Jingshu arrived, the fellow disciples sat quietly in Qingfeng's usual meditation room, listening to Chen Xun and Lingxi talk about what happened after Li Daoxuan went to the Xuanhuang Great World.

Based on Chen Xun and Ling tide's accounts, Qing Feng and the others also deduced that the time flow rates in the two worlds were different.

Although more than a decade has passed here, only a few years have passed in the Xuanhuang Great World.

This was so amazing that it greatly surprised the three of them.

After recounting some past events, Chen Xun took out the Qiankun bag that Li Daoxuan had given him and handed it to Qingfeng.

Upon learning that this was an instruction from his master, Qingfeng immediately changed his posture and accepted the bag with both hands.

Upon opening it, Qingfeng froze on the spot.

Mingyue, who was standing nearby, noticed something was wrong and quickly asked:

"Senior brother? What's wrong?"

Wang Jingshu also turned her head to look curiously.

Qingfeng let out a long sigh, his eyes slightly red, and said in a trembling voice:

"Your disciple is unfilial... Master has gone far away to another land, yet you still worry about your disciples and others..."

Qingfeng handed the bag to Mingyue, who was deeply engrossed in it. When she saw what was inside, she was also shocked.

Inside that small Qiankun bag were actually a mountain of colorful stones, as well as countless pills and spiritual materials.

In addition, there was a message left by Li Daoxuan inside: This is a spirit crystal, containing abundant spiritual energy, which can be absorbed for cultivation and to increase one's cultivation level. May you soon achieve the status of an Earth Immortal, and your master will await your good news.

Mingyue's eyes welled up with tears, and she murmured:

"Master must know how difficult our cultivation is, so he found so many spiritual objects."

Wang Jingshu took the bag and looked at it, and was so moved that she burst into tears.

After Lingxi found out what was inside, she couldn't help but mutter to herself:

"No wonder Master always went underground to mine during his travels; it turns out he was collecting spirit crystals for his fellow disciples to cultivate."

Hearing that these spirit crystals were actually dug up by their master himself from deep underground, the three were even more moved.

Qingfeng sighed deeply.

"As a disciple, I have caused my master so much trouble; it is truly..."

Mingyue and Wang Jingshu shared the same feeling, realizing that their teacher's kindness was so profound that they could never repay it.

Seeing this, Lingxi added another sentence.

"This is nothing. Master said these are just simple tasks. The real challenge is opening the entrance between the Xuanhuang Great World and the Jingming Cave Heaven."

"Because of this, Master asked for help for the first time and owed a favor to the Beast Taming Sect."

Upon hearing this, the three felt even more guilty.

Seeing this, Chen Xun quickly tugged at Ling tide's clothes, signaling him to stop talking.

Lingxi pouted and ignored him.

Instead, he stood up and walked to Qingfeng, his expression solemn and dignified.

Seeing his expression, Qingfeng knew there must be something more important to instruct him, so he quickly stood up and asked respectfully:

"Junior brother, does Master have any further instructions?"

Lingxi nodded.

He then flicked his palm, and a burst of spiritual light appeared in his palm. Then a miniature mountain appeared in his hand.

In an instant, the three of them curiously gathered around.

Qingfeng asked in confusion:

"What is this?"

Lingxi said solemnly:

"My master said that this is the foundation of our Taoist lineage, the basis for establishing the Taoist lineage for all ages, and it is called Yujing Mountain."

Upon hearing this, Qingfeng and the other two were startled and dared not underestimate him in the slightest.

"Please instruct me on what to do, junior brother."

Lingxi held up Jade Capital Mountain in her hands, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

Once this item is used, he will transform into a spiritual spring and merge into it.

Although it won't harm the fundamentals, it will still hinder cultivation and prevent one from being free.

But since it was his master's order, he would not regret it.

Lingxi took a deep breath and handed Yujing Mountain to Qingfeng.

"Eldest brother, Master has instructed you to select a sacred mountain in the Jingming Cave Heaven and place it in Yujing Mountain as a Taoist cultivation ground and a sacred place for inheritance."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xun sighed softly and looked at Ling tide with some heartache.

Qingfeng and the others, however, were unaware of the intricacies involved, and simply exclaimed with delight:

"Since it is Master's instruction, this disciple will naturally obey."

Lingxi handed over Jade Capital Mountain to Qingfeng and told him the incantation and method for using Jade Capital Mountain.

"Senior Brother, where would be a good place to put Jade Capital Mountain?"
