Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1222: Chapter 421: Yun Qianzai and Phoenix Peach [Monthly Pass]_2

"A year without seeing you, Second Senior Brother, your status has become increasingly grand. Just meeting you now requires notification."

"You’re still only at the peak of Core Formation right now. When you reach Nascent Soul and become a Nascent Soul Elder, wouldn’t I be required to send an invitation a year in advance just to see you?"

Yun Qianzai ignored such remarks.

Originally sitting cross-legged, his figure floated straight up, yet he still faced his back to Phoenix Peach.

With his hands placed behind his back, he said softly:

"At the end of the Great Dao, who stands at the peak? One glance and the Heavenly Pivot Dao becomes empty."

"Hmph, you only dare say such things to me now. If you have the guts, go say it to those Nascent Soul Elders."

Phoenix Peach curled her lips, unceremoniously picking up the pastries on the table and began eating.

At this moment, she sat slanted on the table, legs casually laid against each other, with anklets revealing silver bells.

But what remained unchanged was her bright red long dress.

"I’ve barely managed to break through to mid-stage Core Formation, and here you are, Second Senior Brother, not even congratulating me."

Having eaten the pastries, Phoenix Peach muttered, brushing her jade hands, letting the crumbs fall onto the ground.

"Congratulations."

Yun Qianzai turned around, speaking softly: "You’ve spent over two years in seclusion this time, no delay could be afforded, we should first set out overseas and discuss further there."

Speaking of this, Phoenix Peach stopped jesting.

She stood upright.

"Alright."

"..."

A month later, after consecutively switching several teleportation arrays, Phoenix Peach and Yun Qianzai finally arrived at a coastal city, transforming into escape light, flying towards the overseas.

Eventually, they reached a small island where they ’escaped disaster,’ where Yun Qianzai had already laid arrays.

Phoenix Peach, meanwhile, built five houses here, one on a high place, the remaining four surrounding it in sequence.

Additionally, she planted peach trees all over the island, especially asking Yun Qianzai to lay arrays to isolate ocean storms.

This was all to protect those peach trees.

At this evening, the two siblings were sitting on a large coastal rock, feeling the evening breeze, watching as the setting sun dropped below the sea, scattering countless sunset rays.

"Second Senior Brother, has Wen Linger reached Nascent Soul already?"

"Not yet."

Yun Qianzai pondered briefly before continuing: "According to the sect elders’ research and speculation, her basic mindset is truly lacking, coupled with the events we faced, moving from Cangluo to Huanggu."

"Moreover, she endured her parents’ passing, then her master’s passing... with her mindset, the probability of dying under Heart Demon Tribulation is overwhelmingly high."

"And now?"

Phoenix Peach pursued the question.

"Currently, an elder from the sect took her to travel the mortal world, sort of as a trial for her mindset."

Phoenix Peach contemplated briefly, probing: "Great Dream Zhenren?"

"Yes, it’s him."

As Yun Qianzai said this, the corner of his mouth slightly lifted.

Phoenix Peach continued: "If she’s taken by Great Dream Zhenren, there might be effective training."

Because Great Dream Zhenren is extremely skilled in illusion techniques, combined with a rather aloof personality, taking Wen Linger out...

On the hardship front, Wen Linger wouldn’t need concern.

She will surely face enough hardships, especially in regard to her mindset.

After enduring all this, she might indeed overcome the Heart Demon Tribulation.

"Then, Senior Brother, when do you plan to go into seclusion for Nascent Soul Condensation?" Phoenix Peach asked the most curious question on her mind.

Yun Qianzai didn’t answer immediately, or rather, he himself didn’t know.

The matter of Nascent Soul formation is a long journey.

How could it be easily decided?

Phoenix Peach seemed somewhat lost in thought herself, "Ever since the Ancestor passed away, if it weren’t for having you, Second Senior Brother, with your talent in the Array Dao, and then having Wen Linger with her abnormal spirit root... our Water Dragon Sect would have been long swallowed completely by the Taiyi Immortal Sect like others among the lower sects."

"With no Nascent Soul in the sect, our disciples and elders from the Water Dragon Sect couldn’t stand upright when venturing out."

"I shall endeavor to protect the sect’s disciples."

Yun Qianzai spoke suddenly.

Phoenix Peach, upon hearing this, turned her head sharply to look at her Second Senior Brother.

...When did the once carefree Second Senior Brother start saying such things?

Furthermore, saying or not, it had always been this way, because these decades of doing such things, it had always been Yun Qianzai.

Shortly after Kong Xifeng passed away, Wen Linger with her abnormal spirit root was directly absorbed by the Taiyi Immortal Sect, initially unwilling, stating she was a disciple of the Water Dragon Sect.

Afterwards, the Sect Leader of the Water Dragon Sect, that is, Master Xuan Shui, gave her a handwritten letter left behind by Kong Xifeng.

After reading it, she joined the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

Everyone thought after she joined the Taiyi Immortal Sect, even if she wouldn’t strive for resources for the Water Dragon Sect, at the very least, she could maintain appearances. But unexpectedly, her character was weak.

Joining Taiyi Immortal Sect or not made no difference.

Just when the disciples and elders of the Water Dragon Sect thought it was gonna be swallowed by Taiyi Immortal Sect like other lower sects...

Yun Qianzai made his move.

It was a proper, earnestly executed move... Phoenix Peach will forever remember that day.

Snow blanketed the immortal mountain.

Yun Qianzai, having secluded for three years on end, upon learning of the Water Dragon Sect’s plight, attired entirely in white, set foot into the Taiyi Immortal Sect alone, challenging the ’Array Peak.’

Originally, the Array Peak of the Taiyi Immortal Sect regarded not a mere early-stage Core Formation cultivator from the lower sects, yet Yun Qianzai’s single utterance turned the tide.

"At the end of the immortal path, who stands as the peak? One glance and a thousand years’ Dao becomes empty."

Directly ignited the whole Taiyi Immortal Sect, reportedly drawing all the Nascent Soul Elders.
