Chapter 778 - 367 Task Completed, Generous Rewards_2
The elder of the Leaving Fire Sect was extremely careful as he stored the Sunburning Starfall Technique Jade Scroll and sincerely thanked Lu Yi again.
“Thank you, Fellow Friend Lu, for coming all the way to the Leaving Fire Sect. Why not rest here a bit longer before leaving?”
Lu Yi hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, “No, I should be going back.”
The elder of the Leaving Fire Sect appeared somewhat disappointed and then said, “Since that is the case, may this old one accompany Fellow Friend Lu to that heritage site? Now that the Red Flame Clan has turned out this way, this old one feels ashamed towards the Immortal Ancestor and hopes to repent alongside the path of our ancestors.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yi raised an eyebrow and replied, “That should be no problem.”
The expression of the elder of the Leaving Fire Sect relaxed, revealing a smile, “In that case, shall we depart now?”
Lu Yi nodded.
Afterward, the elder of the Leaving Fire Sect dissipated the flames within the great hall, unveiling the doors of the hall.
Li Qingyi and Ling Yue had been quietly waiting outside the doors of the grand hall. Seeing the flames inside dissipate and both Lu Yi and the elder of the Leaving Fire Sect appearing, the two were stunned.
“Elder, why have you left the Ancestor Hall?” Ling Yue glared at Lu Yi as he inquired.
The elder of the Leaving Fire Sect calmly announced, “This old one will be leaving the Danxia Star Domain with Fellow Friend Lu for some time. During this period, Ling Yue, you’ll notify the others to safeguard our Leaving Fire Sect well.”
Ling Yue and Li Qingyi were stunned on hearing this.
“Leaving the Leaving Fire Sect?! Elder, why is that?!” Li Qingyi asked excitedly.
The elder of the Leaving Fire Sect glanced at him and said, “This old one needs to search for our kin, to meet some of our people who have stayed behind in foreign lands.”
Li Qingyi and Ling Yue were lost for words, unsure of what to say.
Eventually, Ling Yue could only nod and say, “Since the Elder is determined to go, we will definitely safeguard the Leaving Fire Sect until you return.”
The elder of the Leaving Fire Sect nodded, then turned to Lu Yi, “Fellow Friend Lu, let us depart.”
Lu Yi nodded. He flew towards the formation outside, with the elder of the Leaving Fire Sect closely following him.
As they passed the damaged Immortal King Great Array on the outskirts, Lu Yi effortlessly passed through the broken parts of the formation, causing the elder of the Leaving Fire Sect, along with Ling Yue and Li Qingyi, to be inwardly shocked.
Although it was a damaged Immortal King Great Array, it was still, after all, an Immortal King Great Array, and they didn’t expect it to be penetrated so easily.
“I didn’t expect Fellow Friend Lu’s mastery over the Array Tao Realm to be so formidable. It is truly humbling; this old one, having cultivated for countless years, is not even comparable to the young friend,” the elder of the Leaving Fire Sect couldn’t help but exclaim.
Li Qingyi and Ling Yue beside him were left speechless.
What kind of monster was this kid?
The group left the broken continent and soon sped towards the planet where Li Qingyi’s grand hall was located.
Before long, they arrived at that planet, entering the palace.
Lu Yi smiled and said, “I’ll go call my companions to set off together.”
The elder of the Leaving Fire Sect nodded without any objections.
Seeing the elder had no objections, Li Qingyi and Ling Yue naturally had even fewer reservations.
But Li Qingyi still felt anger inside, having treated this kid with great hospitality, only for him to eventually seek out the elder!
Soon, Lu Yi emerged with Liu Ningshuang and a few others.
On their way, Lu Yi had already briefly explained the situation to them, and when they saw the elder of the Leaving Fire Sect, they were not surprised but greeted him respectfully.
Afterward, the group boarded the White Jade Skyship, turned into a stream of light, and left the Leaving Fire Star System.
Watching the White Jade Skyship disappear into the starry sky, Li Qingyi and Ling Yue looked at each other, the atmosphere silent for a moment.
Then Ling Yue sighed softly and said, “Contact the other elders. The Leaving Fire Sect must have an Immortal Venerable stationed to preside.”
“What about the Jiuyou Battlefield?” Li Qingyi asked, frowning slightly.
“The Jiuyou Battlefield hasn’t seen any significant changes, lacking one Immortal Venerable won’t be much of an issue,” Ling Yue thought for a moment and said.
Upon hearing this, Li Qingyi decided not to ponder further.
Afterwards, he said with a somewhat strange expression, “I didn’t expect the old ancestor to still have kin alive, and looking at that young man’s demeanor, he might possess the complete Immortal King Technique. If the old ancestor could practice it…”
Ling Yue also narrowed his eyes with anticipation, “The old ancestor’s life span is not much, but his accumulation is very deep, just lacking the final step. If he can master the Immortal King Technique, he might just break through the bottleneck and achieve the Immortal King Realm…”
“If the old ancestor can break through to the Immortal King Realm…”
Thinking this, both Li Qingyi and Ling Yue were extremely excited.
“By then, our Leaving Fire Sect might become the most powerful force in the entire universe, right?”
……
On the White Jade Skyship, Lu Yi arranged the Leaving Fire Sect’s old ancestor in a guest room, while Lu Yi himself, along with Liu Ningshuang and others, settled in a suite with the Ling Luo Peak Master.
If it were before, they would have each found a Cultivation Room to rest, but Lu Yi was still somewhat cautious about the Leaving Fire Sect’s old ancestor. If he harbored ill intentions, Lu Yi of course wasn’t afraid, but if he targeted people like Liu Ningshuang, then the situation could get tricky.
By staying together, even if the Leaving Fire Sect’s old ancestor harbored ill will, he would be able to protect them, and even use the Yin Yang Tao Seal Secret Technique in combination with his all-out effort of bursting forth with the Heavenly Heart Seal, Lu Yi felt that he might be able to stand against the Leaving Fire Sect’s old ancestor.
If it were other peak Immortal Venerables who comprehended different Laws, he might still find them challenging to handle, but the Leaving Fire Sect’s old ancestor mastered the Fire Tao, and since Lu Yi had mastered the Fire Origin, capable of dissipating the Fire Tao, this would reduce the old ancestor’s most crucial reliance significantly, decreasing his combat strength. In such a case, he might indeed have a chance to win.
Lu Yi was actually somewhat eager to try.
After all, he had never really fought openly with an Immortal Venerable-strong person before.
Of course, if the Leaving Fire Sect’s old ancestor had no ill intentions and really only wanted to see the Immortal King’s phantom, then Lu Yi wouldn’t need to worry too much.
“Junior brother, can we trust this old ancestor of the Leaving Fire Sect? Should we really bring him to the Sky Falling Star Domain?” Liu Ningshuang asked worriedly.
The Ling Luo Peak Master also expressed concern, “Yes, stinky kid, that Leaving Fire Sect’s old ancestor is at the peak of the Immortal Venerable Realm. If he erupts in violence eventually, we probably won’t be able to withstand him, and even the ancestor might not be able to handle him.”
Lu Yi chuckled lightly and replied, “Don’t worry, it’s fine. The Leaving Fire Sect’s old ancestor practices the Fire Tao, and I have mastered the Fire Origin, which is lethal for him. Even if it’s just me alone, I might not necessarily lose.”
Hearing Lu Yi’s firm response, Liu Ningshuang and the others felt a bit relieved.
“Since you’ve said so, then alright,” said the Ling Luo Peak Master.
She then looked around with a sigh, “It’s just that all of us living together is a bit inconvenient.”
“Where is it inconvenient? Are you worried it might interfere with our good time?” Jian Ruyu smirked at the Ling Luo Peak Master.
She, after all, was not Liu Ningshuang and Donggong Ming Yue, who were disciples of the Ling Luo Peak Master and always somewhat restrained in front of their master, while Jian Ruyu was bold enough to joke like this with the Ling Luo Peak Master.
The Ling Luo Peak Master, hearing such straightforward words, couldn’t help but blush.
She glared at Lu Yi, who was smiling beside her, and exclaimed, “If you guys want to dual cultivate, I’ll block my perceptions!”
Saying that, she walked into a room by herself.
Lu Yi smiled slightly and turned to Liu Ningshuang and the others, “Since the master has said so, let’s celebrate finding the Red Flame Clan and completing the Task.”
After having found the Leaving Fire Sect’s old ancestor, his Task was also deemed complete, and the rewards had been credited.
The Innate Treasure, Immortal Flame Emperor Bell, the insight enhancement of the Fire Origin, and the Origin Immortal Skill “Nine Heavens Tribulation Fire”!
Such precious rewards certainly deserved a proper celebration.
Lu Yi took the pouting Liu Ningshuang and others to another room.
……
Not until the White Jade Skyship left the Danxia Star Domain did Lu Yi and Liu Ningshuang and others end their celebration and begin their Cultivation.
Lu Yi also began packing up his Task rewards.
