This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

Yun Zhen and the others also realized what was happening and quickly kowtowed, saying:

"Greetings, Grandmaster! Greetings, Second Sect Leader..."

Looking at the disciples kneeling before him, Li Daoxuan smiled slightly and turned to Mingyue, saying:

"It seems you and your senior brother have accomplished quite a bit during your years in the Netherworld Cave..."

Mingyue smiled, pursing her lips.

"It's mostly thanks to my senior brother."

Li Daoxuan nodded and said with a smile:

"You've really worked hard, Qingfeng."

With a gentle lift of his hand, a force miraculously lifted everyone up.

With a thought, all the strange phenomena that Jingming Cave Heaven had set up to welcome him vanished.

Everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

After getting up, Lingxi was the first to rush out.

She grabbed Li Daoxuan's leg, tilted her head back, and said with a slight sob in her voice:

"Master...Master, I've finally seen you again..."

Of all the disciples under his name, Li Daoxuan felt guilty only towards this little brat in front of him.

As the most spiritually gifted being of heaven and earth, Lingxi's talent goes without saying.

But for the sake of the Daoist sect and the Jingming Cave Heaven, it willingly transformed into a spiritual vein, binding itself to the earth as a spirit on Jade Capital Mountain. According to the timeline of the Jingming Cave Heaven, nearly a hundred years have passed.

If it weren't for the nearly one hundred years of delay, with Lingxi's talent and the blessing of the heavens and earth, he would probably have become an Earth Immortal by now.

Thinking of this, Li Daoxuan felt even more indebted.

He bent down and hugged her in his arms, saying apologetically:

"Little Lingxi, your master has finally seen you again."

Although Li Daoxuan often used his divine soul to observe the situation at Qingxu Mountain, he naturally saw Lingxi as well.

But that's different after all.

Upon hearing her master's words, Lingxi finally broke down, overcoming nearly a hundred years of pent-up emotions, and hugged Li Daoxuan's neck, bursting into tears.

The second-generation disciples below the stage quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look.

Although Lingxi looks like a two- or three-year-old child, he is ultimately the Dao Ancestor's true disciple and their senior uncle.

No one dares to disrespect them.

Li Daoxuan gently patted Lingxi's back, comforting her:

"Don't cry, don't cry, Master is back. You won't have to suffer anymore..."

Hearing this, Lingxi was stunned. She looked up at Li Daoxuan and asked, sobbing, "..."

Huai Zhen was dressed in a blue and white Taoist robe, with a lotus crown on his head and a whisk in his hand. His appearance was not exceptionally beautiful, but he exuded an aura of aloofness and detachment from worldly affairs.

Li Daoxuan glanced at it a few times and nodded slightly.

"His Taoist cultivation is solid and firm. Although his cultivation speed is not as fast as Yunzhen and Zhenhuan, he takes every step very steadily."

"If you can fully comprehend the Taiyin Heart Sutra that your master passed down to you, becoming an Earth Immortal will be a matter of moments."

Good fortune bestows upon you, as if washing away all worldly impurities.

Huai Zhen bowed deeply in gratitude.

"Thank you, Grandmaster, thank you, Master..."

Yunzhen, Huanzhen, and Huaizhen are considered the most outstanding disciples among the second generation of Taoists.

Li Daoxuan's gaze swept over the other disciples, all of whom were extremely outstanding juniors.

At this moment, the true essence of Taoism was revealed.

Most of this is thanks to the gentle breeze.

Li Daoxuan was overjoyed. He raised his hand and waved, and the blessings of the Dao Ancestor, imbued with the fortune of heaven and earth, spread out and fell upon each of his disciples.

Everyone felt the weight of this blessing and joyfully offered their thanks.

Li Daoxuan accepted the worship without hesitation, and after everyone had calmed down, he announced news that was enough to make the entire Jingming Cave Heaven boil over.

Three days later, he will open the portal between the Jingming Cave Heaven and the Xuanhuang Great World.
