"You do know that Luo Cheng possesses the realm of a Daluo Golden Immortal," yet Luo Cheng before you had dark circles under his eyes, a sight rarely seen in a hundred years.
"Dad, did you not sleep well last night?"
Luo Cheng shot you a displeased look, slightly resentful, "Your noises kept people up last night, and then your mother ambushed in the wee hours."
"Pfft—" You hurriedly covered your mouth with both hands, but still let out a laugh, and as a result, the back of your head got smacked.
"Let’s go."
"Oh."
"Dad, how are we getting there?"
"By flying, of course."
"Wow—"
Before you could get ready, you suddenly felt your entire body soaring into the air. Due to inertia, your body naturally leaned backward, and if Luo Cheng hadn’t grabbed you, you might have really fallen from the sky.
You suddenly discovered that you and Luo Cheng seed to be standing on a cloud, and to verify if the cloud was real, you even stomped your foot on it.
"Dad, your trick is pretty similar to Monkey Bro’s Sorsault Cloud, isn’t it?"
"Mm, but Sun Dazheng’s Sorsault Cloud is one realm higher than your father’s. That cloud is one of the magic weapons of our Master."
You don’t know how much ti had passed, it felt like only about ten minutes or so, and you landed with Luo Cheng in a secluded forest.
The place had beautiful scenery with dense purple mists; bellflowers blood amidst the forest, phoenixes flew and gathered. You found that just by breathing, you could sense an extrely vast Original True Qi, and even felt an impulse to sit down and cultivate right away. The density of Original True Qi here was at least dozens of tis more concentrated than that of the outside world.
"When you et the Master later, make sure not to be naughty."
"I know, Dad."
Luo Cheng, with Luo Yun in tow, slowly proceeded along the winding mountain path. En route, you saw so graceful and precious beasts swiftly passing by. They didn’t seem to be shy; on the contrary, they stopped to watch you and Luo Cheng.
After walking for a few minutes, you saw a gateway made entirely of pure jade, emitting a green mist. It was truly luxurious. On both sides of the gateway stood two Taoist Boys, who upon seeing Luo Cheng, saluted, "Brother, the Master has been waiting in the Hunyuan Hall."
"Thank you, brothers."
Luo Cheng returned the salute to the two, then led you through the gateway.
If the forest outside the gateway was a picturesque scene, then what lay inside was a strange world.
From the outside, the back of the gateway seed to be a very long staircase that was obscured by clouds and fog, so you couldn’t see clearly. But once you entered the gateway, you realized that those stairs were nonexistent, and what appeared before you were floating islands suspended in the air.
Here, the clouds and mists were thick, cranes flying amidst the clouds in formation, and you were shocked to discover that the Original True Qi here was even denser than in the outside world. Oh heavens, you were almost blissfully fainting.
You believed that just by staying here for half a year, you would definitely break through the "Shocking Sect" realm and enter the Scenic Sect!
Luo Cheng took you directly onto a huge stone slab that was flying back and forth in the air, with the stone slab leading you both towards the fog-enshrouded area ahead.
"Father, is this where you cultivated back in the day?"
"Yes."
"Father, you were truly blessed. To cultivate in a place so abundant with Original True Qi, it must be the happiest thing in the world."
You were almost drooling with envy, and made up your mind on the spot. No matter if the Bodhi Ancient Master liked you or not, you were determined to stay even if it ant being shaless–even if you had to clean toilets, you were willing.
"Speak no more."
"Oh."
You didn’t even realize when the flying board under your feet had stopped; you just continued to follow Luo Cheng step by step. After about another ten minutes’ walk, you noticed Luo Cheng suddenly stop, bow to the thick fog ahead, and say, "Disciple Luo Cheng, greets the Master."
At that mont, the mist slowly dissipated, and you saw a kind-faced middle-aged Taoist standing not five ters away from them.
Is this the legendary Bodhi Ancient Master?
You began to doubt. The person in front of you showed no sign of any energy fluctuations, and hadn’t the Bodhi Ancient Master been described as soone very protective and strict? Yet, he looked cheerful, as if he were easy to get along with.
"This boy must be Luo Yun, right?" The Bodhi Ancient Master’s smile remained undiminished; his gaze at you was sowhat tender, sowhat nostalgic, and contained so anings you couldn’t interpret.
You promptly bowed to the Bodhi Ancient Master and said, "The youngster Luo Yun, greets the Bodhi Ancestor."
The Bodhi Ancient Master nodded. He waved his horsetail whisk lightly, and a flash of golden light quickly enveloped you. You imdiately felt your whole body and mind bathing in an extrely pleasant warm current. At the sa ti, the ridians inside your body expanded trendously.
"Thank you, Bodhi Ancestor!" you quickly bowed again. This Bodhi Ancient Master was a good person indeed, giving you such a generous gift upon your first eting.
"Cheng, step aside."
Luo Cheng stepped aside after bowing, and you suddenly saw the figure of the Bodhi Ancient Master blur before your eyes; in the next mont, he had already moved to stand before you.
The Bodhi Ancient Master gently placed his horsetail whisk on your shoulder and said, "I have closed my doors for many years, no longer accepting disciples, but do you know why I allowed you to enter my cave?"
"This junior does not know; please, Ancestor, enlighten ." You were being as obedient as possible, daring not to be too casual in front of the Bodhi Ancient Master.
The Bodhi Ancient Master smiled, then his expression changed. He shouted, "Evil disciple, reveal your true form this instant!"
In a flash, a spiral of golden light covered you, and then you found your body completely immobilized, you didn’t even have the power to blink. However, your body didn’t undergo any changes; you were still you, and didn’t turn into any monster or person because of the Bodhi Ancient Master’s stern command.
The Bodhi Ancient Master’s brows furrowed, clearly the situation before him had exceeded his expectations. He waved his horsetail whisk, and you were finally able to move freely.
The Bodhi Ancient Master stared at you intently and spoke, "It seems my deduction was a bit off. You are not that evil disciple. But why do I sense a trace of his presence on you, although it is extrely well hidden?"
You pondered for a mont, quickly realizing that the "evil disciple" the Bodhi Ancient Master referred to must be related to the so-called Pathless Demon.
You speculated that the Pathless Demon might very well be the Seal of Truesky, but whether it was or wasn’t, you weren’t clear.
As for the "Pathless" that the Bodhi Ancient Master ntioned, it must be the "Wu Dao" that Sun Wukong had talked about. Although you didn’t know how this Wu Dao was related to you, it seed there was so connection between the two of you.
For you, this was an opportunity, the best chance to rise against the Order Power!
