52: Chen Yi's training! The Third Ancestor comes out to protect the Dao!
Looking at Chen Yi, Luo Qinghuang felt a bit annoyed.
Damn.
What a Path of Emotional Detachment; he truly didn't understand romance at all!
"One day, I will definitely break your Path of Emotional Detachment! I'll make you change from emotionless to emotional!" Luo Qinghuang thought to herself.
At this moment, several figures descended from the sky.
It was Yu Hua Sect Master, Elder Yunxiao, and others.
They looked at Luo Qinghuang and Chen Yi, their eyes filled with relief.
"Good, good, good! With a Saint and Saintess, our Yuhua Sect is like having a Dragon and Phoenix, why would we worry about not prospering in the future?"
Yu Hua Sect Master said with a faint smile.
Chen Yi listened from the side and couldn't help but fall silent.
Dragon and Phoenix...
The words were good, but he didn't know why he felt strange now.
He kept thinking of those memes from his previous life.
Then, Yu Hua Sect Master and the others surrounded Chen Yi and Luo Qinghuang.
They praised them greatly.
Looking at them was like looking at the future of the Yuhua Sect.
Time flowed by.
Chen Yi stayed on Wuqing Peak for several more days, feeling that he could Breakthroug into the Nascent Soul Realm at any time, but he lacked a trigger.
"Is this the legendary Bottleneck?"
Chen Yi murmured.
After all, he had cultivated a bit too quickly.
To go from an ordinary person to a Peak Purple Mansion Realm Martial Artist in four months, and only now encounter a Bottleneck, was already incredibly astonishing.
"Constantly cultivating bitterly on Wuqing Peak isn't a solution; why not go down the mountain for some experience?" Chen Yi thought to himself.
He was now also a Peak Purple Mansion Realm Cultivator.
Coupled with his phenomena, Physical Body strength, and so on, ordinary Primordial Spirit Cultivators were no match for him, so he already had the qualifications to go down the mountain for experience.
Therefore, he found Yu Hua Sect Master and told him his idea. Yu Hua Sect Master nodded slightly upon hearing this, "Hmm, going down the mountain for experience is indeed a good thing, but it's dangerous down there, so you must be careful."
"Yes, I understand."
Chen Yi nodded slightly.
After he left, Yu Hua Sect Master seemed thoughtful.
Then, he came to the back mountain of the Yuhua Sect, where there were a few thatched huts.
Inside the huts lived several old men.
No one knew that these old men were the strongest foundation of the Yuhua Sect!
These old men, or rather, the Old Ancestors of the Yuhua Sect!
They had all served as Sect Master or Elder of the Yuhua Sect, but due to their advanced age, they had retired behind the scenes.
They would not act unless absolutely necessary.
A white-robed old man saw Yu Hua Sect Master arrive and was a little surprised, "Isn't this the Sect Master? Why do you have time to come find us old geezers?"
"Greetings, Third Old Ancestor."
Yu Hua Sect Master bowed to the white-haired old man.
The Third Old Ancestor was the third Sect Master of the Yuhua Sect.
He was over nine hundred years old this year.
"Heh, no need for formalities. You didn't just come to chat with us old fellows this time, did you? What's the matter, speak."
"It's like this: our Yuhua Sect recently produced an astonishingly talented young man. A few days ago, I conferred upon him the title of Saint."
"Hmm... you mean that young fellow named Chen Yi, right? We've all observed him; he is indeed an extraordinary young man. His talent is even above Luo Qinghuang's. Given time, surpassing us old men won't be a problem."
The Third Old Ancestor said with a slight smile.
Yu Hua Sect Master nodded slightly, "Precisely. And just now, Chen Yi said he wanted to go down the mountain for experience. I believe, with his cultivation and strength, it is indeed time for him to gain some experience down the mountain, which will also help his growth.
However, the human heart down the mountain is treacherous. Although Chen Yi's cultivation is not bad, it's not yet at a point where he can be completely worry-free. I'm worried he might encounter something he can't handle outside, so I plan to ask one of you to secretly protect him."
"A Dao Protector? Hmm, when Luo Qinghuang went down the mountain for experience, you also came to us. Last time, the one who served as Luo Qinghuang's Dao Protector seemed to be that fellow, Fourth Old Ancestor, right?" The Third Old Ancestor looked towards another thatched hut.
A voice came from inside the hut, "I can go again."
The Third Old Ancestor shook his head, "This time, I won't trouble you. This time, I will personally go and protect this young man on his journey!"
"The Third Old Ancestor will personally act?"
Yu Hua Sect Master was a little surprised.
This was because the Third Old Ancestor was the one with the highest cultivation, the oldest, and the most Senior among them.
Having him serve as Chen Yi's Dao Protector wasn't impossible.
But it always felt like he was being wronged.
"Third Old Ancestor, let me go instead."
"That's right, Third Old Ancestor, you just stay here."
The other Old Ancestors also spoke up, trying to persuade him.
But the Third Old Ancestor shook his head, "No, to be honest, my Lifespan is already nearing its end. Before I leave, I want to do one last thing for the Yuhua Sect.
This time, protecting Chen Yi might be the last thing I can do."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the other Old Ancestors changed slightly.
"How could this be?"
"Third Old Ancestor, I still have some Medicinal Pills for extending Lifespan here!"
An Old Ancestor quickly took out a medicine bottle.
The Third Old Ancestor waved his hand, "These Medicinal Pills are useless to me now. I've already lived for over nine hundred years. Without entering the Supreme Realm, the Human Race's Lifespan will ultimately struggle to Breakthroug the thousand-year limit. You old fellows, work hard."
"Alas, our potential is exhausted; this is how our lives will be."
"Third Old Ancestor, you go first, we'll follow soon."
The Third Old Ancestor rolled his eyes, "Although my Lifespan is nearing its end, I still have at least one or two years left to live; I'm not dead yet."
After speaking, he entered his thatched hut, packed some belongings, took out a wooden sword, and said faintly, "I'm going down the mountain. I wonder how many of my old friends from back then are still alive now..."
..........
Chen Yi returned to Wuqing Peak and packed some things.
Especially Spirit Stones and the like, all of them were thrown into his Cosmos Ring.
After packing his things, he went down the mountain spiritedly.
"Beautiful, colorful world, here I come!"
But soon, he controlled the smile on his face and nodded slightly to the passing female Disciples, as if greeting them.
He was the only Disciple of the Path of Emotional Detachment!
His persona, he had to pay attention to his persona!
Looking at Chen Yi's departing back, several female Disciples behind him were infatuated.
"Oh my god, he's so handsome!"
"Wuwuwu, the Saint is so good-looking!"
"I pass by Wuqing Peak every day just to catch a glimpse of the Saint's face. I finally saw him today; it was truly worth it!"
Not far away.
The Third Old Ancestor, hidden in the dark, watched those female Disciples, his mouth twitching. Then he looked at the departing Chen Yi, stroked his chin, and murmured, "This kid's handsomeness is comparable to mine back in the day!"
"No wonder he could become the Saint..."
After speaking, he followed him.
As Chen Yi descended the mountain, he felt a hint of strangeness.
He always felt as if someone was following him.
What's going on?
He suddenly turned to look behind him, but there was no one there.
However, he trusted his intuition, cupped his hands, and said, "Senior, why hide? Why not show yourself?"
The Third Old Ancestor was a little surprised, "This young fellow, what keen intuition; he can actually sense my presence?!"
But he did not show himself.
He believed Chen Yi only had a feeling but couldn't be truly certain.
Indeed.
After a while, Chen Yi, seeing that no one appeared, couldn't help but frown, "Is it just my imagination?"
As he pondered, he suddenly heard a loud cry, "Master!"
