86: Cloud Immortal Forms Good Karma

The distance between the Tian Yin Sect and the Yun Miao Sect was not far, with a straight-line distance of only about thirteen thousand li. At the speed of the Embracing Star couple, they arrived at the Yun Miao Sect in less than two days.

"Lì————!!!"

A melodious and sharp cry resounded in the sky above the Yun Miao Sect.

Two massive golden figures with wingspans of fifteen or sixteen zhang cut through the sea of clouds and dove down with a whistling sound that tore through the air.

It also broke the silence and tranquility of the Yun Miao Sect.

"This is?"

Venerable Yun Miao, who was Cultivating on the mountaintop, suddenly opened his eyes, spread his Divine Sense, and looked up in confusion.

The cry of the bird just now felt slightly familiar to him.

"Golden Eagle Spirit Beast, is it Fellow Daoist Taiyin?!"

In an instant, when his Divine Sense saw the Embracing Star couple circling in the air, he immediately thought of Yu Xuzi.

The kindness of saving his life was truly unforgettable.

"Why did the two Golden Eagle Spirit Beasts come alone? Could something have happened to Fellow Daoist Taiyin?"

Without time to think much, Venerable Yun Miao hurriedly rose into the sky and opened the Mountain Protecting Grand Formation.

"You—"

Before he could finish his sentence, Embracing Star slowly approached, and the Jade Slip in its beak floated towards Venerable Yun Miao.

"Is this for me from Fellow Daoist Taiyin?"

Venerable Yun Miao seemed to understand and looked up at the Golden Eagle.

"Lì—!"

Embracing Star nodded.

"As expected of Fellow Daoist Taiyin's spirit pet, it truly possesses such spirituality."

Seeing this, Venerable Yun Miao sighed inwardly with envy.

He had never seen a Yao Beast with such spirituality at the Late Stage of the first rank!

Even a Second-Rank Great Demon would likely find it hard to possess such intelligence.

He reached out to take the Jade Slip and delved his Divine Sense into it.

[Fellow Daoist Yun Miao, I'm sending you a gift. Come quickly to the Tian Yin Sect's mountain gate and bring all of your Sect's flying Magical Artifacts.]

"A gift?"

Venerable Yun Miao looked up, somewhat confused.

Meanwhile, Embracing Star had already turned its head and flapped its wings, chirping softly to signal him to follow.

"Bring all flying Magical Artifacts... could it be?"

He guessed it.

The expression on his face instantly became extremely complicated.

Over the past few months, the mysterious Venerable Taiyin had caused quite a stir in the Fei Chen Cultivation World, so how could he not be aware?

However, he didn't say another word, nor did he attempt to contact Yu Xuzi to make a deal, because the things the Yun Miao Sect could offer had already been given.

Without chips, a deal was naturally out of the question.

However, he hadn't expected... "The debt for saving my life has yet to be repaid, and now another good karma is added. What should I do?"

...Three days later.

Not far from the Tian Yin Sect's mountain gate, on a plain spanning a hundred li, two hundred thousand Mortals were still settled there.

If Yu Xuzi hadn't used a large number of first-rank Inedia Pills, dissolving them into medicinal water to sustain the lives of these Mortals, many would probably not have lasted until now.

After all, they had no shelter or food.

Where was the logic in tricking Mortals into going to the Immortal Realm, only to require them to bring their own rations or else go hungry?

Yu Xuzi was too embarrassed to even bring it up.

In the afternoon.

Venerable Yun Miao arrived with the Sect's only remaining Second-Rank Low Grade flying boat and six first-rank flying boats, grandly following the Embracing Star couple.

"This... this, this is too many, isn't it?"

Venerable Yun Miao looked at the bustling sea of people on the ground in shock, momentarily at a loss for words.

"Fellow Daoist Yun Miao, how is this gift?"

Yu Xuzi asked with a chuckle.

"Fellow Daoist Taiyin, where did all these Mortals come from?"

"Originally, the Tian Yin Sect wanted them."

"Then they—"

Yu Xuzi suddenly let out a cold laugh. "Those fools..."

Although he didn't mention the fate of the Tian Yin Sect.

Venerable Yun Miao naturally guessed that the Tian Yin Sect was likely gone.

This was a top-tier power on the Fei Chen Continent, second only to the Crimson Gold Sect, with multiple Dao Foundation Cultivators in residence. He hadn't expected that it would survive the Disaster of Demons and Monsters but fail to survive its own greed.

*Gulp~*

Venerable Yun Miao unconsciously swallowed his saliva.

"Fellow Daoist Yun Miao, since no one wants this batch of Mortals now, I'll give them to you. Consider it as forming a good karma between us."

Venerable Yun Miao remained silent for a long time.

He was truly overwhelmed by the favor. With a dry tone, he shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Taiyin, my Yun Miao Sect has nothing left to repay you with."

"You are a Prodigy from a major power in the Upper Realm, with such a broad path of Dao ahead of you. I am but a mere minor Cultivator from the Lower Realm; how can I be worthy of this?"

Yu Xuzi patted his shoulder kindly.

He truly thought highly of Venerable Yun Miao.

Not just because of his character and his talent as the youngest Dao Foundation Cultivator of the current generation in the Fei Chen Realm.

But more so because of an indistinct... intuition!

As the owner of the bronze pavilion, Yu Xuzi believed in the theories of Luck and destiny the most.

"I already said it's a gift for you. It's just two hundred thousand Mortals; they are useless to me, so why bother?"

"But this—"

"Enough. Anyway, I've said my piece. These two hundred thousand Mortals are now in your hands."

Yu Xuzi spread his hands. "I'm not going to care anymore. If you really don't care either, then so be it. If they die, they die."

Venerable Yun Miao's lips twitched, and he nodded helplessly.

Forget it, one doesn't fear debts of gratitude once they pile up.

Anyway, he was penniless.

"If Fellow Daoist Taiyin has any instructions in the future, the Yun Miao Sect will not hesitate!"

"Of course, of course."

Yu Xuzi nodded with a smile.

This was good karma.

It was just two hundred thousand Mortals. If his intuition was truly accurate, then if Venerable Yun Miao soared into the sky in the future, he would make a huge profit.

"Fellow Daoist Yun Miao, do not underestimate yourself."

"ascension tokens exist in the Fei Chen Realm. If one day you can successfully condense a Profound Fetus and be called an Immortal Master, you can ascend to the Shanhai Major Thousand Worlds. Who's to say it won't be like a Dragon entering the sea, roaming as you please?"

"At that time, you can join the Taiqing Dao Lineage, counterattack all the way, achieve the Dharma Image, cross the Primordial Spirit, harmonize with the Dao, and achieve Immortal Ascension... Then I, this Venerable Taiyin, will have to rely on your support."

"Yes, True Immortal Yun Miao!"

Yu Xuzi's promises grew larger and larger; he almost couldn't help but laugh out loud himself.

Venerable Yun Miao shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"If I can become True Immortal Yun Miao, you, Fellow Daoist, would at least have to be Immortal Lord Taiyin."

"Hahaha~"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Immortal Lord Taiyin, first find a way to help me transport these two hundred thousand Mortals. My Yun Miao Sect doesn't have enough flying boats."

——————————

Friends, Yu Xu Palace is just a persona the protagonist has adopted.

The existence of Yu Xu Palace is also completely different from the Taiqing in my previous book; it's simply a tool for the protagonist to facilitate better plundering of Resources and Legacies.

As I mentioned in the first few chapters, the protagonist has no interest in founding a Sect or nurturing Disciples.

The main theme of this book is not Sect management, though it will be involved, at least after the Dharma Image or even Primordial Spirit stages.

Perhaps everyone can view it as a different kind of "God's Space"?

Everything is a transaction.

Please be informed.
