Chapter 635 - 301 Tao Statue_2
“This is…”
Their eyes shone brightly.
“I feel like I’ve made some progress in my understanding of the Mahayana Realm; a breakthrough might not be far off,” Elder Ming said excitedly.
Wu Qingfeng and others nearby also had realizations.
That was precisely why they were even more astonished.
The Ling Luo Peak Master and the others had witnessed Lu Yi’s state of Enlightenment, and compared to that, this was merely child’s play, so they were not too surprised.
The disciples of the White Cloud Immortal Sect below, upon seeing the aura of the Tao emerging, all looked up towards the sky.
After seeing Lu Yi in the sky, they were all abuzz with immense excitement.
These cultivators all had cultivation bases at the Nascent Soul, even Divinity Transformation Realm.
In the past, in the White Cloud Sect, they could have been ancestors.
Yet at this moment, each of them was very restrained, wanting to approach Lu Yi but not daring to do so.
Lu Yi and the others left and soon arrived at a low peak not far from Ling Luo Peak.
Atop this low peak, there was only one courtyard.
“Yi’er, this is Gaoyang and Siqi’s residence. Because the White Cloud Immortal Sect expanded so quickly, it’s no longer suitable for them to live there, so we prepared a cave mansion here, asking them to move in. Junior Sister, this place is not far from Ling Luo Peak; you don’t mind, do you?”
As he spoke, Wu Qingfeng looked over at the Ling Luo Peak Master.
Although the Ling Luo Peak Master was his junior sister, her status was not something he could compare with, and Wu Qingfeng felt somewhat nervous facing her.
The Ling Luo Peak Master simply smiled, “Of course, there’s no problem.”
The group entered the courtyard, and soon, a man and a woman walked out from the cultivation room.
Upon seeing Lu Yi, they paused for a moment, then both showed a look of surprise and joy.
Wang Siqi rushed over, hugged Lu Yi, and tousled his hair, “You little rascal, why are you back? Weren’t you at the Yu Family?”
Because of the information from Jiuyou, cultivators with weak cultivation bases had difficulties knowing, so when Lu Yi left, he only told Lu Gaoyang and Wang Siqi that he was going to the Yu Family.
“Didn’t I miss you guys? So I came back,” Lu Yi chuckled and wriggled out of Wang Siqi’s embrace.
Being this age and still hugged by his mother, Lu Yi felt a bit embarrassed.
Lu Gaoyang nodded, “It’s good that you’re back. These days, your mother has been talking about you…”
Before Lu Gaoyang finished, Wang Siqi gave him a melancholic glance, and he suddenly fell silent.
Wang Siqi turned her head towards Liu Ningshuang and the others, her face showing a gentle smile, “Ningshuang, you’re back too, huh? Today I’m going to show off my cooking skills and make something delicious for you all. Miss Yu, Sect Leader, Elder Ming… please stay and have a meal with us.”
The Ling Luo Peak Master slightly smiled, “Mr. Wang, you can just call me Ling Luo Peak Master or Taoist Ling Luo. After all, this young man is my direct disciple; calling me Miss Wang seems a bit too formal.”
Wang Siqi blinked, then smiled and nodded, “Certainly, Taoist Ling Luo.”
Then, Wang Siqi noticed Yu Yuanwu, who had been blending into the background, “And this is…?”
Yu Yuanwu felt moved inside, not expecting himself to still be remembered.
From the moment Wu Qingfeng and the others saw Lu Yi and Taoist Ling Luo, they focused all their attention on them, completely ignoring Yu Yuanwu, who seemed invisible on the side.
If this were anywhere else, Yu Yuanwu would have erupted by now.
But since these were his sister’s and brother-in-law’s Sect members, he held back his temper, staying quiet.
Now that Wang Siqi noticed him, he felt surprisingly touched.
Moreover, the person in front of him was his brother-in-law’s mother. Yu Yuanwu quickly said with some nervousness, “Aunt, I am your son-in-law’s brother, Yu Yuanwu. It’s a pleasure to meet you for the first time; these are some gifts for you!”
Yu Yuanwu took out a few Immortal Artifacts, as well as some Immortal Herbs and Pills, their vibrant Immortal Spirit Qi swirling around, drawing the attention of Wu Qingfeng and the others nearby.
However, they were distracted by something even more crucial.
Each of their expressions stiffened, staring blankly at Yu Yuanwu.
“Wait… Yu Yuanwu? Brother-in-law? Are you… a disciple of the Yu Family? Your sister, could she be?” Lu Gaoyang’s expression turned especially strange for a moment, sneaking a glance at Taoist Ling Luo next to Yu Yuanwu.
At this moment, Taoist Ling Luo’s expression had completely frozen, and she seemed petrified like a statue.
Taoist Ling Luo greatly regretted that she hadn’t been tough at the beginning. She should have never let this scourge out! She should have subdued him for a few hundred more years!
Yu Yuanwu totally missed Taoist Ling Luo’s expression, and with a carefree laugh, he said, “Naturally, she’s this one. Our ancestor and father from home have already said that she is to be matched with your brother-in-law.”
“…”
Lu Gaoyang, Wang Siqi, and Wu Qingfeng, among others, were somewhat numb at the moment.
The Yu Family Ancestor and the father of the Ling Luo Peak Master personally spoke up, wanting to betroth the Ling Luo Peak Master to Lu Yi?!
They were similarly somewhat aware of the Yu Family’s situation due to Yu Lingluo’s presence.
That was a powerful family with an Immortal Venerable Level existence at its core, commanding an entire Star Domain!
The ancestor was naturally an Immortal Venerable.
Even the Immortal Venerable wanted to betroth Miss Yu to Lu Yi?!
What on earth had this kid done outside?
Lu Gaoyang and Wang Siqi were both stunned, their expressions dumbfounded as they looked at Lu Yi.
Wang Siqi couldn’t help but secretly send a voice message, “You little brat, is it true?! The Yu Family Ancestor actually wants to betroth Taoist Ling Luo to you?! What exactly have you done at the Yu Family?! This is Miss Yu we’re talking about! Why would she be betrothed to you?!”
Lu Yi watched as Yu Lingluo, who had completely turned into a statue, looked even more baffled as he replied faintly, “…Mom, Master’s spiritual attainments are extremely high, your Cultivation Base is like shouting in her ear when you send voice messages, there’s no difference.”
Wang Siqi suddenly felt awkward.
It was like wanting to have a private chat about a sensitive topic, only to accidentally send the message in a group chat.
Just then, the Ling Luo Peak Master calmly glanced at Yu Yuanwu, who completely failed to realize he had done anything wrong, and silently reached out to condense a world filled with endless flames of illusion, swallowing Yu Yuanwu whole.
Lu Yi watched as the smile on Yu Yuanwu’s face gradually faded away, replaced by horror, and then a heart-wrenching scream echoed out.
The sound ceased only when the Ling Luo Peak Master retracted the illusory world.
With a mild smile on her face, the Ling Luo Peak Master spoke, “Taoist Siqi, don’t listen to that kid’s nonsense, let’s go in first. I’m really looking forward to the Spirit Food you’ve made.”
“…”
The atmosphere fell silent.
All of a sudden, Wu Qingfeng gave a dry cough and spoke up, “Oh, right, Gaoyang, Siqi, I just remembered there’s something I haven’t dealt with yet, I’m afraid I can’t stay for dinner today.”
“Oh! I also just remembered, I have matters to attend to as well.”
“I’ve recently taken a Direct Disciple who’s been a bit worrisome, I’ll be taking my leave first.”
Elder Xuanming, Elder Qi Ling, and others also said they had matters to attend to, running off faster than rabbits.
Wang Siqi and Lu Gaoyang were left staring agape.
The silence lingered and then Lu Gaoyang chuckled awkwardly, “Hahaha, let’s go inside, let’s go inside.”
……
After dinner, the Ling Luo Peak Master left and returned to Ling Luo Peak.
As for Lu Yi and company, they stayed at home, planning to reside there for a few days.
After all, for more than two hundred years they had always been outside, without spending much time with the old man and mom; Lu Yi felt somewhat guilty in his heart.
Although now, because of the Cultivation Resources he left behind, combined with such a high-quality Cultivation environment here, both had broken through to the Unification Realm and weren’t lacking in lifespan.
Moreover, their Cultivation Base would only grow higher in the future, resulting in them spending even more time together.
But still, whenever possible, he felt he should spend time with them.
However, before long, during conversation, things became a bit awkward for Lu Yi and the others.
Wang Siqi glanced at the flat bellies of Liu Ningshuang and the other three, speaking earnestly, “You’ve been together for so long, how come you don’t have any children yet?”
Liu Ningshuang and the other three’s faces turned red in an instant, freezing on the spot.
Even Lu Yi felt embarrassed.
Lu Yi cleared his throat and explained, “It’s because the higher the Cultivation, the higher the tier of life, the harder it becomes to conceive. We are all Heavenly Immortals now.”
“Tsk…” Wang Siqi clicked her tongue, then urged, “Then you must try harder! I want to hold a grandchild.”
Lu Gaoyang on the side was nodding continuously as well.
Lu Yi could only nod repeatedly, agreeing.
Afterward, he fled with Liu Ningshuang and the other three.
