Chapter 2397: Chapter 795
After entering the Qingyun Grand Hall, Yun Wanshang glanced over at the Qingyun Sect Leader beside her and softly asked, "Senior Brother, how has the sect fared these years? Why do I not see the Supreme Elder?"
From the moment she entered the mountain gates, seeing only a few Core Formation cultivators and not the figure of her disciple Chu Qingyi, Yun Wanshang knew that the current situation in the Qingyun Sect wasn’t optimistic, with many cultivators dispatched to the frontline of the battlefield.
"True Monarch, you may not be aware...."
Even though Yun Wanshang addressed him as Senior Brother in front of everyone, the Qingyun Sect Leader still suppressed his inner joy and excitement, maintaining a respectful demeanor as he explained the situation of Jiang Country and the Liangyue War.
"The war situation is dire now; the Supreme Elder traveled to Yue Country early on to oversee events...."
In everyday circumstances, a force like the Qingyun Sect would assist elderly elders, who didn’t have much lifespan left, to live out their remaining days in peace.
But when faced with a sect crisis or a wartime call, these elders and cultivators with limited lifespans transform into the foundation of the sect, rushing to the front lines as the first wave.
"If the Supreme Elder knew of your breakthrough to Nascent Soul, he would surely be overjoyed."
The Qingyun Sect Leader said with a face full of sentiment.
Even now, he still feels like he’s in an unreal fantasy.
Unexpectedly, in just over fifty years, Yun Wanshang achieved a breakthrough to Nascent Soul outside the sect.
Previously, when the Supreme Elder went off to the Liangyue War, he braced himself for death, hoping to gain a chance for a Nascent Soul through the Heavenly Sword Sect in this war.
During the conversation, the Qingyun Sect Leader recalled seeing Song Qingzhi cough up blood and faint at the mountain gate earlier, couldn’t help but sigh softly: "Not only is Nephew Qingyi at the frontline, but Brother Chi Yang is also there, assisting in refining warfare Magical Treasures. Sister Song was injured a few years ago and returned to recuperate."
He knew the early grudges between Yun Wanshang and Song Qingzhi, but given the current situation, he hoped Yun Wanshang would show mercy.
After all, now that she has broken through to Nascent Soul, promoted to True Monarch, acting against an elder of Qingyun Sect with little lifespan would indeed tarnish her prestige.
Yun Wanshang naturally understood the implicit message in the Qingyun Sect Leader’s words, not taking a False Core cultivator with little lifespan to heart.
Even though years ago, she encountered an ambush by the Red Luan Elder Demon, possibly related to Song Qingzhi.
"Sect Leader Senior Brother, I’ve just broken through to Nascent Soul not long ago, and I still need to stabilize my realm and cultivate Divine Skills, the Nascent Soul Ceremony can wait for now."
Yun Wanshang, seeing the Qingyun Sect Leader’s eager mention of the Nascent Soul Ceremony, softly replied.
Although she broke through to Nascent Soul, there were still many tasks to accomplish, especially concerning her son Lu Yunxiao in her belly.
Not only Lu Changsheng has high expectations for this child, but she is equally attentive and eager!
On one hand, the early Soul Path Dreams deeply influenced her.
On the other hand, her character has always been strong, with a certain desire to excel.
Since she is pregnant, her son Yun Wanshang cannot afford to be inferior to others, much less be inferior to Lu Changsheng’s other children!
Especially since Lu Changsheng entrusted her with the Great Luo Sword Embryo, a Supreme Treasure of Sword Dao that could nurture a Taoist Body.
She wanted to see how the legendary Taoist Body would appear.
Whether it would be as remarkable as Lu Yunxiao in the Soul Path Dreams, unparalleled, sweeping aside all worldly foes.
"Good." The Qingyun Sect Leader quickly nodded, inquiring whether Yun Wanshang would continue residing at Caiyun Peak or change to another mountain.
Now that she advanced to Nascent Soul, the Spirit Vein at Caiyun Peak is far from sufficient.
Thus, he planned to provide the main Spirit Vein of Qingyun Sect to Yun Wanshang as her cultivation cave mansion.
If Yun Wanshang chose to remain at Caiyun Peak, they would call upon the Fengshui Master and Array Master to move the Spirit Vein there.
While Qingyun Sect doesn’t possess Fourth Rank Spirit Veins, numerous Third Rank Top Level Spirit Veins from the sect could build a cave mansion with quasi-fourth rank spiritual energy.
"Caiyun Peak will do."
Yun Wanshang pondered slightly.
After engaging in a brief conversation with several elders in the hall, Yun Wanshang asked the Qingyun Sect Leader to organize the sect’s major events and detailed situation over the years for her, then departed with Xiao Xiyue back to Caiyun Peak.
Observing Xiao Xiyue’s breakthrough to Core Formation and having reached its middle stage, she felt quite gratified.
In the past, she stopped Xiao Xiyue from being with Lu Changsheng for another reason, which was Xiao Xiyue’s cultivation technique "Supreme Forgetful Love Technique".
Cultivating this technique leads to emotional detachment and ultimate forgetfulness.
If one harbors emotions, their mental state won’t persist, leading easily to deviation and impeding breakthroughs.
Despite Xiao Xiyue’s firm confident assurances at the time, she remained skeptical and ultimately couldn’t resist but agreed on a fifty-year pact with them.
Time flies, as fifty years have long passed, the initial agreement... it seems like she broke the pact herself.
Without waiting for the fifty-year deadline, she ventured out to explore and seek opportunities for Nascent Soul.
"Xi Yue, tell me about your cultivation over these years."
Yun Wanshang looked at the disciple who seemed even more detached than before and softly spoke, roughly guessing that her "Supreme Forgetful Love Technique" was resolved by Lu Changsheng.
Though she couldn’t fathom how he managed it, having been around Lu Changsheng for years, she has witnessed too many miracles and things beyond reason from him.
"Reporting to Master..."
Though Xiao Xiyue cultivated the "Supreme Forgetful Love Technique" and isn’t usually affected by emotions or feelings.
However, upon seeing her master break through to Nascent Soul and return, she couldn’t help but feel ripples, and began recounting her general situation over the years.
When she mentioned Senior Sister Chu Qingyi, Xiao Xiyue couldn’t help but pause, thinking of Senior Sister and Lu Changsheng’s child.
This child is usually raised in Bi Lake Mountain.
But now that her master has returned as Nascent Soul, it’s impossible to keep it hidden forever.
If Master knew both Senior Sister and Lu Changsheng had children, it would be...
"You’ve all worked hard over these years."
Yun Wanshang raised her hand gently, softly stroking Xiao Xiyue’s hair, knowing that both the sisters have contributed significantly to Qingyun Sect over the years.
