Chapter 911: Great Fortune Qitian
"Yu, my fellow immortal, you flatter me," Chen Xun nodded with a smile. "I've heard that the Yu family defied their ancestral teachings to fight alongside me. Regardless of the reason, I only care about the outcome. The Yu family and my Five Aggregates Sect will form an eternal bond of righteousness."
Upon hearing this, Yu Chenyou's white beard trembled slightly, and a gleam flashed in his eyes. "I won't beat around the bush. The Yu family is willing to come forth for the sake of the younger generation, Meng Sheng."
"He follows the Dao Ancestor, and our Yu family willingly supports him."
"Oh?"
Chen Xun's tone was slightly surprised as he looked at Meng Sheng, who wore a deep and somewhat tense expression. "Young man, I didn't expect that since we parted ways at the Great Sea Region, you've been doing quite well."
"Senior...!" Meng Sheng shivered, taking a deep breath, finally seeing him. "I... had no choice."
"Dao Ancestor, Meng Sheng is not simple. Even at the Great Ascension stage, he possesses the demeanor of an immortal, with unparalleled spiritual roots."
Yu Chenyou interjected with a sigh, his eyes full of appreciation. "Back then, he crossed ten thousand miles to the Immortal Ascension Platform to save an old friend. His nature is excellent, and his Dao heart is as firm as a rock, unafraid of hardship."
"Although my words caused him some trouble, they also tempered his iron will. If one wishes to ascend to the immortal sect, how can they not battle the heroes of all directions and face the prodigies of various clans?"
As Yu Chenyou spoke, he patted Meng Sheng's shoulder, gently guiding him. "Dao Ancestor, to be honest, this child's talent in the immortal path is the best I've seen in generations."
"He doesn't want to remain dormant in the divine soul of the forbidden land. His ambition is incredibly high, and our Yu family is willing to support him on his journey to see how far he can go."
In front of Dao Ancestor Chen Xun, he hid nothing and spoke directly about the reasons.
He even subtly hinted that the immortal talent of the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements might not compare to this child...
Upon hearing this, Meng Sheng couldn't help but lower his head, cold sweat pouring down.
Back at the Immortal Ascension Platform, he indeed revealed too many secrets, driven by his desire to save Yu Yiwei and not wanting to disappoint his seniors' efforts.
Tu Yongchang couldn't help but take notice. Hearing about the demeanor of an immortal didn't make much of an impression before, but now, after hearing these words, he truly began to regard Meng Sheng seriously.
For the ancestor of a longevity family to speak so highly... this child might be even more terrifying than those divine sons sealed within divine souls.
Yet, with his reserved and low-key demeanor, it's hard to see anything special at a glance, much like that Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements... moving like a world-shaking thunder, still as an ordinary mortal.
Meng Sheng's name, he remembered.
"Hahaha..." Chen Xun suddenly burst into hearty laughter. "Yu, my fellow immortal, you might not know, but this young man has had quite a journey, though his luck has been rather good."
"Senior." Meng Sheng looked at Chen Xun in disbelief, his eyes widening suddenly, his throat moving continuously, hoping for some explanation...
"Dao Ancestor is right, but for us cultivators, luck is always a part of strength. With luck on one's side, one can go further. Meng Sheng, our Yu family holds him in high regard."
"It seems, fellow immortal Yu, that you share my perspective. I also had high hopes for this young man back then and even gave him the title of honorary elder in my Five Aggregates Sect."
"Haha!"
...
The Yu family's ancestor and Chen Xun suddenly looked at each other and laughed, both looking forward to Meng Sheng's future, leaving the latter with unspeakable bitterness, turning into a soft sigh.
As the two conversed, Meng Sheng also kept a close watch on Chen Xun, a beautiful smile unconsciously spreading across his lips.
Since stepping onto the path of immortality, the shadow of this senior has never disappeared from his journey to longevity... even when jesting with him, he felt no embarrassment or resentment.
Only a warm feeling flowed in his heart, for at least on the long path of immortality, even when looking back to find no kin, with no one behind him, there always stood a majestic figure ahead, guiding the way.
Chen Xun and the Yu family's ancestor exchanged pleasantries for a long time, discussing many matters of the small boundary, with Tu Yongchang also adding much.
When three immortals gather, they speak of the grand trends of heaven and earth, even hinting at some future plans, their vision exceptionally broad.
The Yu family's ancestor and Tu Yongchang also spoke of many Immortal Arts to help Chen Xun extricate himself, questioning how he could remain so stable under the pressure of the Boundless Myriad Clans?!
But this was just talk, as the situation was too complex to resolve, requiring long-term planning.
However, Meng Sheng, listening on the side, found his eyes shining brightly. So this is the perspective of immortals... truly, he had benefited greatly from the senior's presence, able to listen to the words of immortals.
Only now did he understand why those from great powers and clans were so arrogant.
Growing up in such an environment, it's natural to look down on ordinary beings.
Meng Sheng maintained a posture of humility, listening and thinking deeply.
Such opportunities are beyond the reach of countless beings in the grand world, and as someone from a small boundary, to have come this far is indeed a stroke of great fortune.
His clasped fists couldn't help but tighten slightly, quietly observing the three immortals with their spirited demeanor, their Dao essence permeating heaven and earth, commanding with vigor. He thought to himself: This is what it means to be an immortal!
Two hours later.
"Dao Ancestor, I shall go and discuss the Dao with fellow immortal Burial," Yu Chenyou said with a friendly smile, bowing courteously. "I won't disturb you two any longer. The gates of our Yu family are always open to the Five Aggregates Sect."
"Good! Fellow immortal Yu, let's meet at Yuqing Palace after the feast!" Chen Xun replied loudly.
"Of course." Yu Chenyou, his face glowing with health, gave Chen Xun ample respect, also building connections for the younger generation. The Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements was worthy of a friendship with a longevity family.
Chen Xun's thoughts were similar. He now enjoyed making friends with fellow Daoists, believing this to be the life of an immortal—open and carefree, never walking on thin ice, embracing freedom.
"Young man, follow me," Chen Xun said with a sidelong smile. "I'll introduce you to some important figures. In the future, when you travel, connections will be useful. More fellow Daoists mean more paths."
"Yes, senior." Meng Sheng nodded earnestly, even a bit restrained.
In the Wild Heaven Region, he was the revered and feared Meng Tianzun, the Meng Old Demon who fought his way out of the blood path of the heavenly domain's secret realm...
But in front of this senior, he was an unqualified junior.
Meng Sheng's eyes faintly showed a hint of reminiscence. During the Qi cultivation phase, he met the senior guarding the pavilion in a small sect, and during the Golden Elixir phase, he encountered him again outside another sect's pavilion...
In the blink of an eye, so many years had passed, and he had experienced so much.
It could be said that Chen Xun held a significant place in Meng Sheng's heart, and when Meng Sheng searched his soul, only this senior could stir his Dao heart and change his nature.
Tu Yongchang also strolled with Chen Xun through the bamboo forest.
