Seeing this, Jiang Yueying nodded her Qiufu head slightly. She felt very satisfied. In the Cultivation World, strength was paramount. It was not easy for Xu Xing to remain humble and respectful towards her, especially since his cultivation was a whole realm higher than hers.
"Master asked to invite you over," Jiang Yueying said, stating her purpose.
Hearing this, Xu Xing nodded, deactivated the Magic Formation of his Cave Mansion, and accompanied Jiang Yueying to Lu Zhuo's Cave Mansion.
"Disciple pays his respects to Master."
Shaoqing. Outside Lu Zhuo's Cave Mansion, Xu Xing bowed deeply to Lu Zhuo and respectfully presented the Sky Nets Umbrella with both hands.
"Jing Ren, your breakthrough to the Free Immortal Realm is indeed a joyous occasion for our sect..." Lu Zhuo began to speak after a brief pause. This was only their second eting. There wasn't a deep bond between master and disciple yet, so he wasn't sure what to say to Xu Xing.
"Thank you for your praise, Master," Xu Xing said, bowing again with a grateful expression. If it hadn't been for Lu Zhuo's tily assistance, sending the Sky Nets Umbrella to help him resist the Purple Clouds Thunder Tribulation, he likely would have perished.
"If you encounter any problems in your cultivation in the future, you can directly enter my Cave Mansion to seek guidance," Lu Zhuo added.
This was a privilege he was extending to Xu Xing, his Free Immortal disciple. His other disciples, excluding Zhao Cangming, had to seek his counsel on cultivation matters during a fixed period each year. This rule also applied to Jiang Yueying. At his current realm, taking disciples was rely a way to occupy his long, leisurely existence, sothing to pass the ti. He wouldn't let trivial matters obstruct his own Dao. However, Free Immortal disciples were different. They weren't just disciples; they were potential collaborators on his future path, and he couldn't afford to be negligent with them. Now, Xu Xing, having broken through to the Free Immortal Realm, undoubtedly possessed this qualification.
"This contains my cultivation experiences in the Free Immortal Realm. Previously, I only shared it with Cangming. Now, I'm giving you a copy as well."
After a mont, Lu Zhuo retrieved a jade slip from his sleeve and, using his magic power, sent it to Xu Xing.
Hearing this, Xu Xing nodded and thanked Lu Zhuo once more. During his second Fate Deduction at the Nascent Soul Stage, although he had broken through to the Void Immortal Realm, it had been a superficial experience, and he hadn't truly gained any cultivation insights from it. Lu Zhuo now giving him his experiences in the Free Immortal Realm undoubtedly addressed his current cultivation deficiencies.
Next, Lu Zhuo gave a few more instructions before leading all his disciples into his Cave Mansion.
Once the disciples were seated, Lu Zhuo, the Void Immortal Power, began his lecture. Under the influence of the Void Immortal's Chaos Dao Fruit, Xu Xing and the other disciples' understanding of cultivation realms and Dao Principles deepened.
This ti, Lu Zhuo's lecture lasted for thirty years.
After the lecture concluded, Lu Zhuo took a silver-white, rhombus-shaped stone from his sleeve and, using his magic power, sent it to Jiang Yueying, who was seated before him. The stone was about fist-sized, its surface covered in small, black, tadpole-like script that swirled about, emanating a mysterious aura.
"I have obtained the Heavenly Dao Stone from the Sect Master," Lu Zhuo said with a smile. "After thirty years of my lecture, you've gained significant insights and are now just one step away from Sensing the Heavenly Heart. Refine this stone, and you can directly enter the Free Immortal Realm."
Heavenly Dao Stone? Xu Xing, seated nearby, was slightly surprised to hear these words. During his many years of seclusion cultivation on Mount Wanshou, he had consulted nurous precious classics in his efforts to sense the Heavenly Heart. In doing so, he had co across the na of this treasure, the Heavenly Dao Stone. He knew it was one of the few treasures that, when refined by a cultivator at the God Transformation Realm, could increase their chances of Sensing the Heavenly Heart. Unfortunately, Heavenly Dao Stones were exceedingly rare and couldn't be exchanged for contribution points even within Mount Wanshou, so he had eventually put the thought aside. He hadn't expected that after his own breakthrough to the Free Immortal Realm, Lu Zhuo would obtain a Heavenly Dao Stone from the Sect Master of Mount Wanshou and give it to Jiang Yueying to aid her breakthrough. Such a treasure was so valuable that even Void Immortals would have to pay a considerable price to acquire one. Otherwise, the Pure-blood Descendants of Immortals would have all long since beco Immortals themselves, establishing their own lineages.
"Thank you, Master..." With joy on her face, Jiang Yueying knelt and kowtowed to Lu Zhuo before reaching out to accept the Heavenly Dao Stone.
Then, she placed it in her palm and began to refine it.
Ti passed slowly.
「Several days later,」
More than half of the Heavenly Dao Stone in Jiang Yueying's palm had disappeared. She had entered a state of enlightennt; her Dao Body, though resting on the cushion, possessed an ethereal, illusory quality, as if she were about to rge with heaven and earth and undergo Ascending by Featherization.
Having recently undergone Tribulation Crossing himself, Xu Xing recognized at a glance that Jiang Yueying had successfully sensed the Heavenly Heart but was currently imrsed in it, unable to extricate herself.
Heaven's Heart... As the na implied, it was the heart of the Heavenly Dao. This Heavenly Dao wasn't the minor Heavenly Dao of individual worlds, but the true, singular Heavenly Dao that perated the entire universe. Sensing the Heavenly Heart was rely the first step. After successfully sensing it, one needed to leave a spiritual imprint within this Heavenly Dao. Only when this imprinting was successful was the step of Sensing the Heavenly Heart truly complete. Subsequently, when breaking through from the Free Immortal Realm to the Void Immortal Realm and condensing the Chaos Dao Fruit, this spiritual imprint stored within the Heavenly Dao would beco the core of the Chaos Dao Fruit.
Seeing this, Lu Zhuo paid little mind to Jiang Yueying and instead began a new round of lectures. This ti, however, the lecture mostly covered knowledge pertinent to the God Transformation Realm, seldom touching upon the Free Immortal Realm.
「Several years later,」
Jiang Yueying's ethereal state finally ended. The radiant glow from her skin was even more intense than before. After a deep bow to Lu Zhuo, she took the Sky Nets Umbrella, exited the Cave Mansion, and triggered the Purple Clouds Thunder Tribulation.
