Chapter 1072: Chapter 672: Primordial Spirit Demon Cultivator, Worries and Companionship (Part 2)
Those righteous Daoists joined forces, scouring the world, and while refining the Breaking Realm Flying Boat, they aimed to annihilate these Demon Cultivators completely.
This forced the remaining Primordial Spirit Demon Cultivators to flee to the Arctic Forbidden Land, where they ultimately sealed themselves within the Demon Cave to escape pursuit.
However, by doing so, they missed the final opportunity to leave this world.
The era of Spiritual Energy exhaustion arrived, and under the threat of the Heavenly Human Five Declines Tribulation, for tens of thousands of years, amidst countless calamities.
The group of Primordial Spirit Demon Cultivators sealed in the Demon Cave were forced to devour each other in order to survive.
By the time Spiritual Energy finally revived, only a scant few from that group of Demon Cultivators remained.
Yet, by devouring other Demon Cultivators’ Primordial Spirits, the foundation of the devilishly handsome man became even deeper.
He believed that once he regained his Primordial Spirit Realm cultivation, even the so-called Child of Fate would not be his match.
By that time...
"Fairy Lu, such a cold and exquisite fairy, if taken as a concubine, it would surely be quite the experience, wouldn’t it?"
The devilishly handsome man looked in the direction where Little Yan departed, a sinister smile appearing on his face.
The two figures beside him, seeing the smile on their master’s face, felt a chill deep in their hearts.
"Let’s go. The Wanmo Secret Realm is about to emerge. This secret realm is crucial to restoring my cultivation. There can be no mistakes. If any of you screws up, you know what the consequences will be."
The two figures shuddered and promptly replied in unison, "Understood, Master!"
...
High in the sky, Little Yan turned into Sword Light, slicing through the firmament, flying all the way back to the Holy Mountain, landing down into the cave mansion where Lu Qing once secluded herself.
The commotion of her return was noticed by many disciples and elders throughout the Holy Mountain.
"Fairy Lu is back!"
"Fairy Lu’s elegance remains the same. If she were to glance my way, my life would be worth it."
"You’re dreaming if you think you can get a swan like Fairy Lu. With your looks, you’d only tarnish her eyes!"
"How dare you insult me! If you’ve got guts, meet me on the challenge platform!"
"I’m not afraid of you!"
"Since that lord entered seclusion, Fairy Lu has been the most formidable on our Holy Mountain. Over the years, hasn’t she slain more than ten Golden Core Realm Devils?"
"Isn’t Fairy Lu back this time investigating traces of Demons at the Guiyuan Sect? What’s the situation?"
...
Seeing the Sword Light that Little Yan transformed into, disciples and elders on the Holy Mountain were abuzz with discussion.
Numerous young disciples looked on with expressions of admiration and yearning.
Clearly, in the days of Lu Qing’s absence, Little Yan held great authority within the Holy Mountain.
"Fairy Lu is back?"
At the Holy Mountain, the three Saint Masters also sensed Little Yan’s return and all approached the cave mansion.
Just as they intended to send a message, they saw the array at the cave mansion ripple, and the door open.
Little Yan’s calm voice came from within: "Three Saint Masters, I guessed you’d be arriving too. Please come in."
The three Saint Masters exchanged a glance and all entered the cave mansion.
They saw Little Yan sitting cross-legged inside, a treasure sword lay across in front of her, her expression calm.
"Fairy Lu, did you discover anything during your investigation of Demon Cultivator traces at Guiyuan Sect?"
The First Saint Master thought for a moment and then asked.
"Yes, and it was quite a significant discovery," Little Yan replied calmly. "That True Disciple Xie Guang of Guiyuan Sect had long been possessed by a Demon Cultivator’s Primordial Spirit who survived from the Ancient Immortal Cultivation Era, secretly restoring his cultivation.
Once I discovered him, he fled immediately. Unfortunately, although I pursued him, the Demon Cultivator’s methods were strange; neither of us could overpower the other.
In the end, his accomplices arrived, and I had to temporarily retreat."
"A Demon Cultivator’s Primordial Spirit surviving from the Ancient Immortal Cultivation Era!"
The three Saint Masters were shocked by Little Yan’s words.
Although they had suspected that the Demon Path had been reviving and growing rapidly over the years, hearing confirmation from Little Yan still left them stunned.
"Fairy Lu, encountering an Ancient Primordial Spirit Demon Cultivator, you shouldn’t have pursued. It was too risky."
After recovering from the shock, the First Saint Master expressed his concern.
"It’s just an old man who endured from the Ancient Immortal Cultivation Era, his cultivation hasn’t been fully restored, nothing daunting.
If I hadn’t just broken through and hadn’t yet had time to solidify my cultivation, I would have already slain him with my sword."
Little Yan, however, was indifferent.
"Though that may be the case, we all know that while Fairy Lu, your cultivation is profound, the saying goes that two fists cannot fend off four hands and it’s easier to dodge a spear in the open than an arrow in the dark.
Investigating Demon Cultivator traces alone is still too risky.
It’s better if in the future when you go out, you select some disciples from the Holy Mountain to accompany you, just in case."
The First Saint Master suggested.
"There’s no need." Little Yan shook her head, "With their level of cultivation, they can’t assist me in any way. I would likely have to look after them."
"But..."
The First Saint Master wanted to say more, but Little Yan interrupted: "Enough, Saint Master. I am about to begin cultivation, please leave."
Seeing the coldness on Little Yan’s face, the First Saint Master hesitated for a moment, but ultimately sighed, departing the cave mansion with the other two Saint Masters.
Returning to their own cultivation area, the First Saint Master still wore a worried expression.
"Eldest Brother, are you worried about Fairy Lu?" the Third Saint Master asked.
"Indeed." The First Saint Master sighed, "Over these years, Fairy Lu has roamed the world, slaying Demon Cultivators, her cultivation becoming increasingly profound, but it seems her demeanor has become colder as well."
"Fairy Lu practices an Ice Element cultivation technique, so her disposition becoming cold isn’t surprising," the Second Saint Master said.
"That’s true, but it’s still uncertain if this change is good or bad. Have you considered what might happen if Lu Qing returns one day and sees that Fairy Lu has changed so much?"
The Second Saint Master and Third Saint Master fell silent.
Unlike everyone else in the world, who speculated endlessly about Lu Qing’s long absence, they knew that he had left this world decades ago to explore the stars.
They didn’t know when Lu Qing would return, but they could foresee that if he returned to find his most cherished sister had changed so much, he would surely be furious.
No one knew what actions he might take then.
"Fairy Lu’s disposition has become colder, not only because of her cultivation technique, but mainly because she has always been alone, unwilling to interact with others, naturally becoming more solitary over time. So, we need to find someone to keep her company, to cheer her up."
The First Saint Master pondered for a moment and then spoke.
"But who? In our Holy Mountain, no disciple can meet her standards, except Zhi Rui, who has some connection with her, but Zhi Rui is a man and is already married."
"Zhi Rui is certainly not suitable. Besides him, in this world, the only ones who could possibly be close to Fairy Lu, apart from that elder doctor, might be the Palace Master of Cold Water Palace.
I’ll draft two letters later, explaining the situation to them to see if they have any ideas."
"That’s all we can do."
Without delay, the First Saint Master wrote two letters, explaining the situation, and then summoned two elders to deliver them to Jiuli Village and Cold Water Palace.
Currently, with demons appearing frequently across the land and the Demon Path thriving, even Jade Talismans run the risk of being intercepted.
Thus, the safest approach is to send someone to deliver the letters personally.
The two elders chosen by the First Saint Master were both Golden Core Realm experts.
Carrying the letters, they traveled, and not many days passed before one elder arrived at Cold Water Palace.
The arrival of the Holy Mountain elder naturally drew the attention of Cold Water Palace, and Palace Master Han Lingshuang, who had achieved the Golden Core Realm, personally came to greet him.
Upon hearing that the Holy Mountain elder brought a personally penned letter from the First Saint Master, addressed to her, Han Lingshuang became more solemn, fearing some significant event had occurred.
After opening the letter and reading its contents, she felt slightly relieved yet still concerned.
She thought for a while, and after assigning some matters to her subordinates, she accompanied the Holy Mountain elder back to the Holy Mountain.
From that day on, Han Lingshuang took up residence at the Holy Mountain, only occasionally returning to Cold Water Palace for some affairs.
Lu Qing was unaware that after he left, Little Yan had grown cold due to various reasons.
In seclusion for over a decade, he finally opened his eyes once more.
