Chapter 1008: Chapter 1008
In the Tianxia Civilization, and throughout the entire Three Thousand Worlds, there are not many female cultivators who are strong.
Those above the Eight Realms are even fewer, you can count them on two hands.
Excluding some alien races with peculiar appearances that Lu Chenzhou doesn’t appreciate, there are even fewer.
There’s only the likes of the Yaochi Immortal, Black Boat Ancestor, and Spirit Phoenix Dominator.
Although Black Boat’s cultivation is high and he gets along well with everyone now, he has a previous record, and being with the distinguished Alliance Hierarch would undoubtedly stir some words outside.
Spirit Phoenix Dominator belongs to the Phoenix Clan, has lived for tens of thousands of years, and seems to have limited potential, difficult to become a Great Power.
In the eyes of the disciples, the Yaochi Immortal is certainly more suitable.
First, there is only a three-hundred-year age difference; second, they share a common cultural foundation.
As for those below the Eight Realms, the gap in cultivation is too great, lifespan too short to accompany for long.
The arrival of the Yaochi Immortal made the atmosphere even more awkward, as Cauldron Sword babbled:
[Lu Chenzhou, are you happy? Are you bursting with joy inside? Stop pretending to be calm.]
In the whole world, only Cauldron Sword dares to speak to Lu Chenzhou in such a tone.
"You little rascal..." Lu Chenzhou grabbed Cauldron Sword and pinched her cheeks.
The Yaochi Immortal coughed lightly and smiled slightly, "Is the Alliance Hierarch not happy?"
"When friends come from afar, naturally I’m happy." Lu Chenzhou smiled faintly.
[Let me tell you, in Lu Chenzhou’s previous Heart Demon Illusions, you appeared several times. I knew long ago that he liked you.]
Cauldron Sword’s small mouth kept chattering, revealing all of Lu Chenzhou’s old stories.
"Oh... Junior Brother hides it quite deeply, we didn’t even notice." Ji Feiyan teased with a laugh.
Lu Chenzhou couldn’t explain, after all, in those illusions, the senior sisters also appeared.
It’s not his fault; it’s the Lust Soul’s doing.
The Yaochi Immortal sat openly next to Ji Feiyan and smiled, "Let’s eat first."
Ji Xuantong looked at the Yaochi Immortal with unspeakable satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad, they match well."
As a teacher and like a father, now that all the disciples are settled and have established families, only Lu Chenzhou is fighting alone, he’s also anxious.
He had his eyes on the Yaochi Immortal long ago, thinking only she is worthy of his good disciple.
But he dared not speak, only waiting for Lu Chenzhou to realize it himself.
Wang Changming sighed inwardly, in terms of seniority, the Yaochi Immortal is indeed his senior.
When he was a child, the Yaochi Immortal was already famous worldwide, admired by countless people.
But at that time, the Yaochi Immortal was ambitious, wanting to be the world’s number one strong person, ignoring all pursuers.
Those pursuers, many became Heavenly Realms.
But first, she was overshadowed by the Eternal Immortal, then came the Dragon King, who rose against all odds.
Now, this senior might become the Daoist Couple of his disciple, truly an interesting world.
The other relatives and friends need not be mentioned; under the invisible majesty of the Yaochi Immortal, none dared to look directly.
Lu Chenzhou is even stronger, but as a Great Power, he returns to nature, all aura restrained, and with closer relationships, friends and family usually don’t feel it.
"Well, I just remembered something, you all eat first, I’m leaving." Old Ji paid respects to the Yaochi Immortal and then stepped away.
"I ate too much this morning, need to go stand and digest." Li Yu chuckled, glanced at the future "Master’s wife", and hurried away.
"I have to go teach." Shi Ruyu smiled.
Each had an excuse, and soon only Lu Chenzhou and the Yaochi Immortal were left at the table.
Oh yes, Cauldron Sword was still there.
[Why aren’t you talking, in the Great Wilderness, by now you’d already be co-cultivating in the cave.]
Cauldron Sword was puzzled, those ancestors in the Great Wilderness, when they saw eye to eye, they just took the person away and handled things on the spot.
"Why did the Alliance Hierarch suddenly want to find a Daoist Couple recently?" The Yaochi Immortal asked.
"About to fight the Holy Lord soon, in case I die, at least I wouldn’t die single." Lu Chenzhou joked.
"You say that, if you die, can the rest of us live?" The Yaochi Immortal naturally placed her fingertip on Lu Chenzhou’s lip.
Lu Chenzhou said: "This battle with the Holy Lord, only I and the Dragon King will participate, Mr. Turtle, Kunxu, Clam Fairy, Sword River will guard the civilization, if we fail, we will hide in the Water Mansion, roam the starry skies of the Xia Realm, initiate the second plan, and wage a guerrilla war with the True Gods, gather strength and return."
Facing the True God, only he and the Dragon King, who broke through to the middle stage of Ninth Rank not long ago, are qualified to fight.
Ordinary Great Powers cannot find footing on the Dao.
[Wait, isn’t your topic straying?]
Cauldron Sword was full of question marks, how did they start talking about proper matters, is this the attitude for a date?
Long Yue carried away the struggling Cauldron Sword, letting Lu Chenzhou and the Yaochi Immortal be alone.
From then on, Lu Chenzhou and the Yaochi Immortal chatted about everything.
National affairs, personal matters, astronomy, geography, Dao enlightenment, gossip about other strong individuals...
Under the shadow of the Holy Lord, Lu Chenzhou rarely felt relaxed, chatting happily and to his heart’s content.
In the Great Wilderness, a Daoist Couple isn’t necessarily a romantic partner, but rather an intimate partner exploring the Dao together.
Two male cultivators who hit it off can also become Daoist Couples.
As they chatted, everything between the man and woman happened "naturally", just like Lu Chenzhou’s Dao enlightenment breakthrough.
Within the world of his body, chaotic qi flows piled up into the softest cloud bed, the Yaochi Immortal leaned against Lu Chenzhou’s chest, her face flushed with a rosy hue.
"It seems our match this time was quite successful," Yaochi Immortal laughed.
"Indeed." Afterward, Lu Chenzhou’s heart realm was clear and immaculate, without a trace of distraction or worldly desire.
He felt even closer to the legendary state of the True Saint of the Heart.
All along, he has ensured his heart realm remained perfect and without flaw, giving no opportunity for lust to invade.
But solitary yang does not grow; evidently, it is the convergence of yin and yang that allows the mindset to become more complete.
He recalled the Eternal Immortal, previously stuck before the Third Step with no progress.
Yet, after forming a Daoist Couple with the Immortal Lady, he achieved heart clarity, broke through his barriers, and smoothly mastered the Eighth Rank Dao.
Suddenly, he remembered that he had also seized a divine skill from the two elders of the constellation.
It seems that it can be put to use in the future.
He looked at his abdomen, where the Pure Yang Golden Core that had been sustained for a hundred and sixty years gradually transformed into a mass of Yin Yang Qi. Dıscover more novels at N0velFire.ɴet
He thought of the years of passionate martial arts training with Wang Gang, a smile tugging at his lips.
"What are you smiling about?" Yaochi Immortal curiously asked as she stared at Lu Chenzhou.
"I broke through," Lu Chenzhou said.
"It’s okay, I’m not benefitting from you, I’ve also broken through," Yaochi Immortal said. "My cultivation of the ’Eternal Youth Technique’ also needed to protect the Taiyin Qi from dissipating, only then can it achieve rejuvenation and extend lifespan and strengthen... now, your heart is balanced, isn’t it?"
"Then let’s break through a few more times," Lu Chenzhou laughed.
It was unclear whether Lu Chenzhou completely released the desires within his heart.
In the distant Spiritual Dimension, during this period, the development of the Chaos Demon Embryo accelerated even more.
The Heart Demon Dao advanced rapidly.
Cracks subtly appeared on the surface of the demon embryo, making the three demons of greed, anger, and foolishness watching in horror.
"Which one of us hasn’t been gestating through endless years before breaking out of the embryonic stage, so why is he so fast?" the muscular man said.
"His comprehension is terrifying," the lean old man sighed.
"Tsk tsk tsk..." The glamorous woman, who held dominion over lust, seemed to have seen something and smiled suggestively.
She remembered the years spent with Lu Chenzhou in the Heart Demon World and couldn’t help but feel smug.
In terms of the spirit, Lu Chenzhou had already broken through.
"Sigh... time to cultivate." Lu Chenzhou looked at the slumbering Yaochi Immortal, dressed, and got up.
He possessed an Immortal Body, while Yaochi Immortal merely had an undying body; the difference in physical strength was vast.
"I’m so tired..." Yaochi Immortal was awakened by Lu Chenzhou, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and couldn’t help but hug Lu Chenzhou again.
"Being able to battle with me for a month, forcing me to use my Immortal Body, you have reasons to be proud," Lu Chenzhou said.
"Wait until I reach immortality, then we can battle again!" Yaochi Immortal said somewhat defiantly.
"You’ll have to work hard, immortality is much harder to achieve than undying," Lu Chenzhou said.
"With your personal guidance, why would I worry about not reaching immortality? Isn’t that right, Master Lu~" Yaochi Immortal’s voice lingered, sounding soft and tender.
The thought of the awe-inspiring Master Lu, revered by billions, being in her arms, gave her a sense of conquest.
"I’m leaving." Lu Chenzhou suppressed his desires; not cultivating for a month made him feel so lax.
Lu Chenzhou extended his finger, lightly tapping Yaochi Immortal’s forehead thrice, leaving three marks.
"I’m giving you three marks: one is a Chaos Mark, allowing you to enter and exit my small world at any time; as long as you’re within the Three Thousand Worlds, you can return to this cave in a thought, and unless a True God descends, no Great Power can kill you; the second is a Causality Mark, with this mark, you can communicate with me anytime and anywhere, and I can assist you in killing enemies through the line of causality from afar. Remember not to be reckless when facing invincible foes; the third is a Destiny Mark, with this mark, you can invisibly gather the fate of all living beings under heaven and earth, aiding you to progress further in cultivation," Lu Chenzhou said solemnly.
"Thank you, Master Lu~" Yaochi Immortal said with a charming smile, her voice seductive.
"What’s going on, it’s been a month, Master and Yaochi Immortal went for a meal, and suddenly neither of them is around," Li Yu wondered.
"They must have succeeded, definitely succeeded, haha," Old Ji laughed, his excited expression as if he himself had become a Great Grandmaster.
[Indeed, just waiting for Lu Chenzhou’s child to be born, and then be apprenticed under me, I’ll teach him the Sword Emperor’s Technique.]
Cauldron Sword nodded with satisfaction, looking exceedingly pleased.
One could hardly imagine the astonishing talent of the offspring of Lu Chenzhou and Yaochi Immortal, surely destined to be the future Number One Sword Immortal.
A year slipped by before anyone realized.
Above the Yun Meng Marsh, Lu Chenzhou was preaching between heaven and earth.
The cultivators, seated in neat rows, listened intently.
After the sermon ended, everyone thanked Master Lu and dispersed.
Lu Chenzhou remained alone, seemingly comprehending something.
Today’s lecture was on the art of True Spirit Transformation, covering the True Spirits of ancient and modern times, including the Dao practiced by True Spirits.
Suddenly, the Martial Arts Tree radiated brilliant light.
The surging clouds above Yun Meng Lake reflected multicolored radiance.
Behind each ray of radiance was a towering true spirit’s ethereal image, including dragons, phoenixes, tigers, elephants...
