Outside the Daoist Chief, of course, there are also Peak Fourth-order cultivators who have not beco chiefs or even been True Inheritors, who, relying on the Daoist’s foundation and their personal fortunes, hope to surpass others and achieve enlightennt, their hopes not less than the older generation of chiefs.
But whether it’s the Daoist Chief or those promising Peak Fourth-order cultivators, there is no place for ng Qing among them.
Fortunately, the Immortal Dao is unpredictable.
The older generation of chiefs in the One Origin Dao Sect, True Immortal Seeds, are still floundering in the sea of suffering, while the previously unnoticed ng Qing has already achieved enlightennt and reached the other side.
Amidst the admiration from all immortals, there grew more envy and respect for East River Palace Master, and for Chen Jichuan.
...
All immortals exchanged greetings.
The number of Daoist True Immortals gathered in Dongqi Palace continued to grow, and by this ti, ng Qing’s Enlightennt also approached its end.
Clatter!
With the vibration and sudden contraction of the great mill of water and fire, a light erged from the Five Phases Hall, falling in front of Chen Jichuan and the East River Palace Master.
A Daoist robe, it was ng Qing.
"Teacher."
"Junior Brother."
ng Qing first bowed deeply to the East River Palace Master, then to Chen Jichuan, his face filled with excitent and gratitude.
ng Qing knew very well that achieving enlightennt this ti was inseparable from his over 40,000 years of painstaking cultivation. More importantly, it was his junior brother’s help in all aspects over the past 5,000 years.
Sufficient source jade.
Enlightennt treasures.
Preaching and dispelling doubts.
Dharma Domain tempering.
All these, ng Qing knew this junior brother was doing his utmost to assist him in his cultivation, genuinely hoping he would achieve enlightennt.
"Without my junior brother, I would never have had the day to beco a True Immortal!"
ng Qing’s heart was filled with imnse gratitude.
With the teacher in front and many Daoist True Immortals nearby, ng Qing held back from saying too much. However, his deanor and expression already showed that his gratitude and respect for Chen Jichuan were no less than for the East River Palace Master, perhaps even more so.
But the East River Palace Master did not mind.
He smiled, nodded at ng Qing, "Cross the tribulation first, we’ll talk afterward."
"Senior Brother has a strong foundation, crossing the tribulation is not difficult."
Chen Jichuan also smiled and nodded at ng Qing.
ng Qing, having a good relationship with him, was a joy for Chen Jichuan to assist him in achieving enlightennt.
"Yes."
ng Qing responded, then bowed to the East River Palace Master and Chen Jichuan again, before flying afar, leaving the mountain and sea, going to face the wind and fire tribulation.
Wind, wind, wind!
Fire, fire, fire!
Fourth-order True Immortal of Enlightennt.
The tribulation is also a song of praise.
When the wind and fire dissipated, in the Daoist, after ’Dongqi Palace Master’ Zhou Yan, another True Immortal achieved enlightennt.
His na: ng Qing!
...
Five thousand three hundred years later.
The Golden Wind Mountain and Sea revealed a miraculous scene again, with True Immortals gathering one by one.
Earth Bursting Golden Lotus.
Heavenly sweet dew descended.
Disciples in the Third-order God Transformation Stage had a lifespan of only 5,000 years, and among the Third-order, except for Independent Immortals, all were under 5,000 years old, unable to have experienced the previous grand scene. But many Fourth-order Upper Immortals and tribulation-crossing Independent Immortals in the Daoist who were there five thousand years ago, still remain now, witnessing the rise of two True Immortals.
"True Immortal!"
"Another one!"
"In five thousand years, our Daoist actually produced two True Immortals achieving enlightennt in succession!"
"Good! Good indeed! In this life, to personally witness two True Immortals attaining enlightennt is not in vain!"
...
A group of Fourth-order cultivators chatted in groups of three or five, shocked and delighted, with also envy in the mix.
Gazing towards the sky, seeing a bright sun over the mountain and sea, fills the heart with longing.
Those with high ambitions and hope for enlightennt, like several Daoist Chiefs, resolved to beco the third True Immortal of this era in the One Origin Dao Sect!
"If ng Qing and Zhou Yan can achieve enlightennt, so can I!"
Zhou Yan and ng Qing achieving enlightennt in succession stirred the entire One Origin Dao Sect, igniting the passion of thousands of Daoist Disciples.
For a ti.
The disciples cultivated even more diligently, with increased determination.
If this trend continues, it might truly be possible to witness another True Immortal in a short period.
Daoist Disciples’ passion burns like fire.
Daoist True Immortals gathered in the mountain and sea, stirring activity in the mountain gate once more.
...
The excitent belongs to the Daoist.
The solitude belongs to Ku and Rong.
Outside the Eastern Continent.
East Coast.
Shitong Venerable waved to collect the demon head, lifting an eyebrow as he looked in the direction of the Golden Wind Mountain and Sea in the Eastern Continent: "The One Origin Dao Sect has yet another person achieving enlightennt?!"
The commotion of ng Qing achieving enlightennt and crossing tribulation was significant, occurring abruptly, hard to conceal.
The demon factions in Shenzhou paid close attention to the Daoist, and such a big commotion naturally did not go unnoticed. Shortly after ng Qing crossed the tribulation, the news reached Shitong Venerable.
"ng Qing!"
"So it’s this one!"
"This person is a disciple under Duann Donghe, a direct senior brother of Zhou Yan. It is said that Zhou Yan has secluded himself in the Golden Wind Mountain and Sea for many years, partly to assist these senior brothers and sisters in their cultivation."
"I just didn’t expect he actually helped produce a True Immortal!"
Dongjun Venerable’s face also reflected surprise.
How extrely difficult it is for a True Immortal to achieve enlightennt.
He had already heard thousands of years ago about Zhou Yan guiding fellow sect mbers in cultivation, intending to help them achieve enlightennt.
But like many Daoist True Immortals, Dongjun Venerable didn’t take it seriously.
Every newly advanced True Immortal, especially at the initial stage, carries a heart as high as heaven, thinking that if they can achieve enlightennt, they can help friends and family do the sa.
Ultimately, reality delivers a heavy blow to them.
Once, twice.
Three tis, five tis.
After nurous, years-long attempts, witnessing friends grow old, one by one passing away, they realize that even as True Immortals, they can save themselves, but find it hard to save others.
Reality is cruel.
Thus, most True Immortals appear indifferent, treating disciples with a hands-off approach, offering only necessary help without much interference.
Dongjun Venerable thought Zhou Yan would undergo the sa process.
Yet he succeeded.
"This person achieved True Immortal enlightennt at just over three thousand years old, truly favored by fortune. Now not only has he achieved enlightennt, but his fortune extends to bless his peers."
Dongjun Venerable couldn’t help but lant.
He and Shitong Venerable jointly oversee the ’Immortal Slaying Departnt’, creating the ’Immortal Slaying List’, and have in-depth knowledge of Daoist Fourth-order Peak Immortals like ng Qing.
Precisely because of this understanding, he marveled at Zhou Yan’s incredible fortune.
"With ng Qing’s aptitude and fortune, without Zhou Yan, where would he have even had a chance of enlightennt."
Dongjun Venerable shook his head.
Beside him.
Shitong Venerable’s face briefly clouded: "I’m just afraid ng Qing’s enlightennt will give Zhou Yan hope, deluding him into thinking becoming a True Immortal is easy, leading him into trying to help other fellow sect mbers achieve enlightennt. That Duann Donghe still has quite a few Fourth-order Peaks!"
This concern is not unfounded.
Dongjun Venerable’s heart also sank: "Liu Hechuan! Bo Yin! Wuy Qi! Xuee Gu!"
Ku and Rong oversee the ’Immortal Slaying Departnt’, creating the ’Immortal Slaying List’, and know the Fourth-order Peak Daoist Immortals by heart. Dongjun Venerable recalls clearly that, besides the newly enlightened ng Qing, there were still four who were Fourth-order Peak in the East River Palace. Among them, Xuee Gu is the youngest, only over 27,000 years old.
"If Zhou Yan becos emboldened, increasingly determined to help his peers achieve enlightennt, it’s likely he won’t leave the mountain gate for the next ten or twenty thousand years."
Dongjun Venerable understood Shitong Venerable’s concerns.
A newly advanced True Immortal managing to nurture a True Immortal in a short ti is already a major stroke of luck and fortune. They are not worried, nor do they believe, that Chen Jichuan can continue to nurture a second or third True Immortal.
What they worry about is Chen Jichuan being emboldened by ng Qing’s enlightennt, becoming more reluctant to leave the mountain gate.
"This Zhou Yan!"
The two exchanged a glance, feeling frustrated. Facing such a newly advanced True Immortal, even with a hundred tactics, they found nowhere to apply them.
To deal with a Daoist True Immortal like Zhou Yan, one must strike with absolute precision.
But Zhou Yan remained hidden in the Golden Wind Mountain and Sea, impossible to target. The Golden Wind Mountain and Sea, serving as the mountain gate of the One Origin Dao Sect, has extrely high-level defenses; even their Vermilion Blood Palace Master, the ’Vermilion Blood Ancestor’, dare not intrude, let alone the two of them.
He must be lured out.
Or——
"Find a way to lure him out!"
Shitong Venerable’s expression shifted, glancing towards the East Sea with a fierce look: "That Zhou Yan lingers in the Golden Wind Mountain and Sea to assist peers in achieving enlightennt. In that case, you and I will deploy the ’Immortal Slaying Departnt’, sequentially eliminate Liu Hechuan and others. After all his peers die, he will eventually have to co out."
