“The Great Luo Golden Classic”.
He said those four words softly, his voice filled with almost solemn greed, “The supreme inheritance of the Daoist sect, lost for hundreds of thousands of years, something that the entire universe has sought after, has actually fallen into the hands of a True Immortal Realm youth.
He shook his head, dismissing the thought.
Regardless of whether it was arranged by the Daoist sect or not, since the Great Luo Golden Scripture had appeared in his territory, there was no reason for him to just leave it alone.
What about David?
A youth of the true immortal realm, possessing a great treasure, ventured alone into the eighteenth heaven.
In Wu Yuan’s eyes, he was not a person, but a piece of fatty meat, a piece of fatty meat covered in honey, and all he had to do was wait patiently for the honey to melt so he could swallow it whole.
Qingyun Mountains, Daoist Qingyun Cave Heaven.
In contrast to the splendor of the Fire God Palace and the mystery of the Void Merchant Guild, Daoist Blue Cloud Cave Heaven was hidden deep within the Blue Cloud Mountains, shrouded by ancient arrays. From the outside, this place looked like nothing more than a continuous stretch of green mountains and clear waters, showing no signs of anything out of the ordinary.
But as soon as they stepped into the formation, the world suddenly changed.
The green hills and clear waters had disappeared, replaced by a vast and boundless paradise.
Lingfeng Peak, like a sword, penetrates the clouds, with a waterfall rushing from the peak, the roar is like thunder.
The spring water gurgled and flowed, forming a lake where cranes danced and turtles swam leisurely.
Ancient pine trees stood tall and sturdy, vines twined about, and sacred herbs and mushrooms grew everywhere, with colorful spiritual light flowing among the branches and leaves.
The air was filled with dense heaven and earth spiritual energy, almost like liquid, and with every breath, one could feel one’s cultivation level increasing at a palpable speed.
This is Qingyun Cave Heaven, which belongs to the Daoist sect.
In contrast to the majestic and awe-inspiring scenery outside, the Cliff of Enlightenment located deep within Qingyun Grotto Heaven was completely silent.
Wudao Cliff is the highest cliff in Qingyun Cave. The cliff top was only a few feet in diameter, barren and without any vegetation, only a large blue rock stood on the edge of the cliff.
Sitting cross-legged on the boulder was an old Daoist priest with white hair and beard. His face was thin and his eyes were slightly closed. There were no spiritual energy fluctuations in his body. He looked like an ordinary old man.
However, anyone who practiced Daoist techniques would feel oppression from the depths of their soul if they were within a hundred feet of him.
The suppression was not a crushing defeat in terms of cultivation level, but a suppression in terms of the level of Taoist methods. It was like a novice Daoist standing before the founder of a Daoist sect, feeling the awe of the source of the bloodline.
He was none other than Jade Void Immortal, the chief Daoist of Qingyun Cave Heaven, a fifth rank Golden Immortal.
On Eighteenth Heaven, this cultivation level was enough to make one look down on everything.
Yet he had not left the Cliff of Enlightenment for tens of thousands of years, not because he was incapable, but because he was waiting.
Waiting for a sign, waiting for someone, waiting for the return of an inheritance.
At that moment, he suddenly opened his eyes.
Those eyes were so clear that they did not seem like the eyes of an old man who had lived for tens of thousands of years. There is no change or turbidity in it, only clarity that can see the essence of things.
“They’ve come.”
He said two words softly, his voice not loud, but it could be heard throughout Qingyun Cave Heaven.
In an instant, several beams of light shot from all directions of Qingyun Cave and landed at the foot of Wudao Cliff.
The leader was a middle-aged Daoist priest with a handsome face, three long beards, wearing a blue Daoist robe, and with an ancient sword hanging from his waist, the scabbard was engraved with the two characters “Tai Xu”.
He was Qingxuanzi, the Great Elder of Qingyun Grotto Heaven, a fourth-rank Gold Immortal, second only to Yuxu Zhenren in the Daoist sect.
Behind Qing Xuanzi stood more than a dozen Daoists, all of whom were at least at the Golden Immortal cultivation level. Their respective eyes radiated unconcealable excitement and anticipation.
