752: Fourteen years later, the first female immortal

Time flies like a white steed, leaving no trace.

In a blink of an eye, fourteen years had passed.

On this day.

Outside Gui Zhou Island, a golden streak of light slowly came to a halt.

The golden light dissipated, revealing a magnificent and mysterious palace.

At this moment, the mysterious palace suddenly shrank, and a young Cultivator, around twenty years old, dressed in a luxurious golden robe and not round in physique, emerged from the palace. The shrunken palace then disappeared into the young Cultivator's sleeve.

Having put away the golden palace.

Zhou Huiyang straightened his robes and disappeared into the clouds, heading towards Tianji Peak.

He had come to deliver a letter to Ancestor Lai on behalf of his maternal grandfather.

The day for the Ju Ling Merchant Guild to select its next Guild Master was approaching, and he had been ordered to inform Ancestor Lai.

Zhou Huiyang continued without stopping, disappearing into the clouds.

"Hmm?"

"Strange..."

"Today doesn't seem to be the opening day of Tianji Hall..."

From afar, still some distance from Tianji Peak, Zhou Huiyang's figure stopped.

His face showed some confusion.

Although he had spent the past three years mostly in the Treasure Gathering Tower, learning the Dao of business management and finance from its various stewards.

He was still aware of clan matters.

Today was not the monthly opening day of Tianji Hall.

So why were so many people heading towards Tianji Peak?

The vast majority of them were clan juniors younger than him.

There was also a large portion of clan members from the 'Yuan' generation.

"Huiyang?"

Just as Zhou Huiyang was deep in thought.

A voice came from afar behind him.

Zhou Huiyang's heart skipped a beat, a smile appeared on his face, and he turned to look at the newcomer.

"Huirih."

The newcomer was his clan friend, Zhou Huirih.

"When did you get back? You didn't even come to find me?"

Zhou Huirih's figure flashed, and he appeared beside Zhou Huiyang, giving him a punch.

With a hint of teasing.

"Hehe~"

"I just arrived today. I originally planned to finish what my maternal grandfather entrusted to me before looking for you, but it's such a coincidence to meet you here."

Zhou Huiyang let out a wry laugh and explained.

Zhou Huirih nodded, he wasn't really blaming Zhou Huiyang.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, so meeting now naturally put them in a great mood.

"Why are so many people heading towards Tianji Peak today?"

As they walked together, chatting for a while, Zhou Huiyang asked his friend beside him.

"Huiyang, you've been away for so long, you're a bit behind on clan news."

"Today, Junior Brother Lu Qing and Junior Sister Lu Yan are presiding over the mountain's opening at Tianji Mountain."

"Junior Brother Lu Qing and Junior Sister Lu Yan have been cultivating with Ancestor Lai and have already achieved some results."

"Although they can't yet stand alone, this mountain opening isn't about choosing fated individuals; it's because there are new treasures produced in Tianji Hall."

Zhou Huirih explained with a smile.

Zhou Huiyang nodded, his expression enlightened.

"So that's how it is."

Although most of the treasures produced in Tianji Hall were merely Ancestor Lai's casual creations.

To them, they could still be called rare treasures, with infinite wondrous uses.

And there weren't many of them.

No wonder so many people were rushing towards Tianji Peak.

"But, there's more to it than that."

At this, Zhou Huirih chuckled softly, his voice taking a turn.

"Oh? There's more?"

Zhou Huiyang subconsciously asked.

"Of course."

"This time, not only are Junior Brother Lu Qing and Junior Sister Lu Yan presiding, but Junior Sister Muxi will also make an appearance."

Zhou Huirih glanced at the 'Yuan' generation juniors rushing in the distance and said with a smile.

"Junior Sister Muxi..."

"No wonder..."

Zhou Huiyang's eyes moved upon hearing this, and he shook his head in sudden realization.

No wonder so many young Disciples were drawn here.

Junior Sister Muxi was the daughter of Elder Beihai, not yet fourteen years old this year.

At the age of seven, she was taken in as a Disciple by Ancestor Lai.

And she had been gentle by nature since childhood, greatly favored by Ancestor Yue.

She also received the doting affection of Elder Beihai, Elder Qing Ruo, Elder Xiao Yi, Elder Ruoxian, and all the other Elders, truly embodying being showered with boundless love.

Yet, her disposition remained gentle, not appearing arrogant or spoiled by the clan's affection, which he greatly admired.

Moreover, this wasn't the most important thing.

The most important point was that Junior Sister Muxi inherited Elder Beihai's elegant and handsome demeanor.

As early as two years ago, she was dubbed the future First Female Immortal, a beauty capable of toppling nations, by many busybodies in the Chaotic Sea.

It was said that when Junior Sister Muxi had casually revealed a glimpse of her true appearance while out with Lu Qing and Lu Yan, it had caused a frenzy among Cultivators.

If Lu Qing hadn't reacted quickly and revealed their identities in time.

It probably would have caused trouble then.

Such an incident was enough to prove her peerless beauty.

"Junior Sister Muxi has basically been cultivating on Tianji Peak for the past two years, so her appearance today naturally caused a sensation."

Zhou Huirih nodded and said.

Zhou Huiyang shook his head slightly.

Most of these young Cultivators were probably here for Junior Sister Muxi.

After all, such a divine maiden, with her transcendent status, would naturally stir hearts.

"Huirih, could it be that you are also..."

Zhou Huiyang subconsciously thought of something, his eyelids twitched, and he looked at his friend beside him.

His friend already had an engagement.

If he intended to be faithless and unrighteous.

Zhou Huiyang would have no choice but to use force to suppress him, absolutely not allowing his friend to make another mistake.

"Your imagination is really rich."

Zhou Huirih snorted in annoyance.

Then he ignored Zhou Huiyang and rushed towards Tianji Peak.

"Hehe, that's good then~"

Zhou Huiyang rubbed his nose.

And chased after Zhou Huirih.

Besides, Junior Sister Muxi was still young.

Elder Beihai naturally wouldn't consider such matters too early.

He had worried for nothing.

The two flew along.

Before long, a spiritual peak, seemingly concealing heavenly secrets, appeared before their eyes.

Below the spiritual peak, figures had already gathered.

But there was no great clamor; everything was orderly.

Facing the many figures stood more than a dozen young figures, led by Lu Qing and Lu Yan.

The other Cultivators were all Disciples serving in Tianji Hall.

Zhou Huirih knew Zhou Huiyang had business, so he nodded to Zhou Huiyang and headed into the crowd.

Zhou Huiyang glanced over.

There, streaks of light floated, clearly the treasures displayed by Tianji Hall this time.

But he hadn't come for this.

Zhou Huiyang turned in another direction, came before a mountain-guarding Disciple, saluted, and was about to speak.

"Are you Junior Brother Huiyang?"

The mountain-guarding Disciple asked.

"Precisely."

"The Hall Master had already given instructions: if Junior Brother Huiyang comes, he can directly ascend the mountain."

Zhou Huiyang listened to the words of the mountain-guarding Disciple before him.

However, he wasn't particularly surprised.

Ancestor Lai obviously already knew he was coming, but this was nothing to Ancestor Lai.

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

Zhou Huiyang thanked him and then headed towards the mountain peak.

Tianji Peak, mountain top.

Zhou Huiyang saw the familiar thatched cottage from afar.

"Huiyang respectfully greets Ancestor Lai!"

Zhou Huiyang stopped, speaking loudly.

"Come in."

A calm voice came from within the thatched cottage.

"Thank you, Ancestor Lai."

Zhou Huiyang stood up and walked towards the thatched cottage.

The thatched cottage was the same, seemingly unchanged from twenty years ago.

Inside, sat a handsome, smiling young figure wearing a scholar's cap, holding a feather fan, and with eyes like stars.

Zhou Huiyang looked into the thatched cottage, his peripheral vision catching a glimpse of a white-robed girl with a veil over her face sitting beside him.

The girl's full appearance was hidden, but above the spiritual veil, a pair of bright, crystal-clear eyes, transparent as Glass and flawless, were quietly looking at him.

Zhou Huiyang's heart trembled, his heartbeat seeming to skip a beat.

As expected of Elder Beihai's daughter...
