Chapter 196: [What Does the Immortal Sect Seek, Master Qingquan] (First update)

The Cloud Leopard was dead.

That female immortal clearly had a backer; being able to be the master of a Mysterious Immortal realm cultivator, it was very likely a Golden Core who had attained the Dao, and for a Golden Core to plot against a Mysterious Immortal, it really couldn't account to the Heavenly Dao if it didn't die.

However, that female cultivator also paid a not-so-small price.

Lu Runping could see that her divine soul had been impacted, her primordial spirit was damaged, and her physical body was also becoming unstable in blood qi under the final cloud qi explosion of the Cloud Leopard, with signs of faint collapse.

Appearing at this time would inevitably arouse the other party's vigilance, but if handled properly, it was also an opportunity to quickly close the distance.

As an avatar of an avatar, there was no reason not to gamble.

Therefore, Lu Runping appeared in her perception.

"Who!?"

Ji Ziyou's divine sense moved, and the spirit treasure flying sword immediately flew up, arriving in front of Lu Runping in the blink of an eye, stopping less than half a meter from his brow.

Lu Runping didn't reveal a panicked expression but said calmly:

"Greetings, fellow Daoist. I am Lü Gong. Wandering here, I sensed the fluctuations of a great battle, so I sought it out. I have searched for many days without seeing any fellow immortal cultivators. Seeing one today, I am quite happy, so I came over.

If you have any concerns, fellow Daoist, you can naturally use this sword to press against my brow and hold my lifeline; I only seek to ask one thing."

Seeing that Lu Runping was only a True Immortal, Ji Ziyou relaxed quite a bit. Hearing him say this, she instead withdrew the flying sword, only letting it protect her body.

"What thing?"

Lu Runping asked neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"What does the Immortal Sect seek?"

Ji Ziyou looked at Lu Runping upon hearing this. This time, she looked him over carefully and found that this person's aura was complete; at a glance, he was someone whose cultivation was very stable.

"The Immortal Sect is in the Jiuchongtian; those without opportunity cannot enter."

Ji Ziyou said lightly.

Lu Runping smiled:

"I was once hailed as a person of destiny; I should have great opportunity and can enter the Immortal Sect."

Hearing this, Ji Ziyou laughed, raised a hand, and the flying sword stabbed toward Lu Runping.

"If you can block this sword of mine, then you have opportunity."

Lu Runping didn't dodge. A drop of water appeared between his right middle finger and thumb, then he flicked it out, and the water drop collided with the sword tip.

The water drop was cut open.

However, as the flying sword moved forward, a force of extreme cold spread along the sword body. By the time the split water drop reached the hilt, it had frozen the entire sword, turning it into an ice block.

The flying sword stopped again at a position one meter away from Lu Runping.

But this time, it was passive.

Ji Ziyou said in surprise:

"Good means! A mere Upper Cave True Immortal, yet you actually blocked my sword."

Speaking of this, she paused, exhaled, and her injuries had already lessened quite a bit. She stood up and continued:

"Let's go, follow me to pay respects to my master. If you truly have great opportunity, my master will accept you."

After saying this, she didn't care about Lu Runping and flew away on her sword directly.

And Lu Runping turned into a golden light and followed behind her, which surprised her once again.

Such speed was also an extraordinary means.

A mere True Immortal, yet possessing so many abilities—could it be that he really was a person of great luck?

She didn't intend to tease Lu Runping on purpose; she really brought him to a mountain. There was a cave here, inscribed with "Flowing Spring Cave." Stepping into it, they arrived in another world.

The Shangqing Qi rushed toward them. Lu Runping woke up with a start; this was one of the Jiuchongtian.

Ji Ziyou said with a smile:

"This is within the third heaven of the Jiuchongtian, the Xianding Jifeng Heaven, which belongs to the Heavenly Realm. Follow me!"

Before long, the two rode the cloud qi to a high mountain. There were a few palaces scattered here. Arriving at the highest point, they saw a stone wall inscribed with the name "Master Qingquan."

In the lower realm, the Golden Core realm could be called a Master; now, it was naturally an elegant title for an individual and did not represent strength.

Arriving at the palace entrance, Ji Ziyou let Lu Runping wait outside. She walked in herself, and before long, she came out and brought him in.

Inside the palace, an old man in a blue robe was leaning on a jade pillow, sizing up the newcomer.

After Lu Runping walked in, he immediately bowed and said:

"Lü Gong, pays respects to the senior!"

Master Qingquan suddenly changed from a lying posture to standing and came to Lu Runping's side, touching him.

He said in surprise:

"Incredible, a mere Upper Cave True Immortal, yet you already have a Mid-Grade Spirit Treasure Dao Body. Hearing from little Youyou, you also have a good extreme cold means and flight technique; it seems you really have great luck.

Haha! Good, I announce, you are my, Master Qingquan's, fourth disciple!

This is your Third Senior Sister, little Youyou—no, Ji Ziyou."

Lu Runping didn't hesitate at all and knelt down:

"Disciple Lü Gong, pays respects to Master! Greetings, Senior Sister!"

Ji Ziyou's mentality collapsed a bit upon hearing this. She had just accepted a disciple, and now she had lost face in front of her Junior Brother. How could she establish the dignity of a Senior Sister from now on?

She deliberately kept a straight face and nodded, considering it a return of the salute.

Master Qingquan, however, wouldn't have it and opened his mouth:

"Little Youyou, you must be more enthusiastic toward your Junior Brother. He is a person of great luck. If he rises to prominence in the future and becomes a figure in the Daluo Tian, he can also bring you to attain immortality!"

Ji Ziyou couldn't help it and rolled her eyes. Stuck with such an unreliable master, she couldn't be bothered to argue.

"Master, disciple is retiring to cultivate!"

After saying this, she disappeared directly.

Master Qingquan shook his head and said:

"I gave you a chance, but you didn't use it!"

After sighing, he looked at Lu Runping and said:

"Your master is very poor and has nothing to give you. This is the 'Nine-Turn Ascension Record.' Cultivating this method can lead to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. However, if you want to achieve the Daluo Fruit Position, you still need to comprehend your own cultivation method.

Go to the second palace on the right to find your Second Senior Brother, Zhuge Xuance; he will tell you the information you want to know. If you have any cultivation difficulties, you can ask them; I won't tell you, after all, I am very lazy."

After saying this, he waved his hand to let Lu Runping leave.

After Lu Runping respectfully bowed and withdrew, Master Qingquan muttered to himself:

"Strange, I actually can't calculate his fate; it's as if he has no roots. The luck on his body is very thick and also very stable; he is indeed a talent worth molding, just don't know if he will bring any trouble.

Forget it, the sky won't collapse, the earth won't sink, what big things could happen."

While speaking, his voice gradually faded.

And Lu Runping arrived at the cave abode where Zhuge Xuance was full of anticipation, only to see rows of people entering and leaving the cave abode, very busy.

He looked closely and only then discovered that these people were all transformed from paper figures; one by one, they were actually at the True Immortal realm of strength.

Unconsciously, Lu Runping thought of a spell recorded in ancient books in the Yuanshuo Realm.

Paper-Cutting into Soldiers Technique.

He originally thought this was just an ordinary side-door left-path method; he didn't expect that someone could actually use this method to enter the True Immortal realm.

A paper figure could turn into a True Immortal; everything that cultivators struggled for seemed to become hollow.

"Lü Gong, on Master's orders, has come to ask for advice from Second Senior Brother. May I ask if it is possible to see you?"

Lu Runping asked.

The paper figures at the palace entrance suddenly separated left and right, clearing the way, and made a "please" gesture.

Afterward, Lu Runping entered and saw Zhuge Xuance, who was busy blending something.

"Junior Brother, have some tea first. I'm quite busy here; I estimate it will take a good while."

He didn't look at Lu Runping either, just focused on blending there. A paper figure True Immortal gave Lu Runping a seat, and after letting him sit down, poured him tea.

"It's fine, I'll just wait a while."

Lu Runping said politely.

Then, this wait lasted for seventeen days.

Seventeen days later, Zhuge Xuance finally finished.

Lu Runping also understood what he was making. It turned out to be the paper pulp for making these True Immortal realm paper figures, a very special kind of paper containing various spirit qi.

"Sorry! Junior Brother, this thing can't stop once it starts being made. If any mistake happens in the middle, these decades of effort will be wasted."

Zhuge Xuance said.

Lu Runping waved his hand and said:

"It's fine! It was my presumptuous visit; waiting for a moment is only right.

If Senior Brother still needs to be busy, I can wait until Senior Brother has settled everything before asking."

"Haha, there's no need for now. Come, let's go to another place to talk properly."

Zhuge Xuance brought Lu Runping to a new room and then said:

"Master originally had three disciples in total, and that Junior Sister only joined a thousand years ago. I didn't expect there to be another Junior Brother now.

For our first meeting, Senior Brother has nothing good to give you. Here are ten paper figures; they can serve tea and pour water at any time, and when necessary, let them go out to block attacks. Below the Mysterious Immortal realm, you should be worry-free."

Lu Runping immediately accepted the gift with a smile and said:

"Thank you, Second Senior Brother! I wonder if Senior Brother could tell me about the Dixian Jie? I have been here for over two hundred years, but I have only been trapped in one place cultivating, and only came out a few years ago to seek the path of immortals."

"Naturally! But what I know is also limited. The Dixian Jie is vast beyond compare; my knowledge is but a drop in the ocean.

Then let me tell you starting from the Jiuchongtian!"

Zhuge Xuance began to narrate, and Lu Runping's cognition of the Dixian Jie became fuller.

Combined with the former loose Mysterious Immortal and the knowledge of his disciple Yu Qiongxiao, they corroborated each other, and he had a relatively accurate judgment.

The Jiuchongtian had various immortal sects, and the top-tier immortal sects were all in the Eighth and Ninth Heavens.

Especially in the Daluo Tian, only Daluo Golden Immortals could enter; it was the place dominated by Immortal Venerables.

The Jiuchongtian had some top-tier immortal sect forces, such as the Heavenly Emperor Palace, etc.

These forces dominated the entire Dixian Jie.

Even in other planes of the same specification as the Dixian Jie, these immortal sect forces had a hand in them.

In the continents and oceans of the Dixian Jie, there were also powerful forces.

Many Demon Immortal forces were on the ground; they occupied mountain peaks, called themselves Great Sages, and were very happy.

Some human cultivators cultivated the Dao in the mortal world, and there were also mountain gates built on the land.

But wanting to see them was also very difficult; after all, this wasn't building a house, it needed to be built from the ground.

They often built in the middle of towering mountains and ridges, hidden within the mountains and forests.

Lu Runping pondered, in such a situation, how should he obtain Dao Fruits. ===== CHAPTER 197 =====
