508: Behind Liu Xianyun, there is a man standing in the Immortal Realm!
Around the Golden Summit Immortal Palace, ground flames burned and firelight flickered. In a massive celestial pond, golden creatures leaped in groups, occasionally a flash of lightning would strike, and golden creatures would leap out to meet the lightning.
Those were large golden carp, each radiating golden light, as if imbued with divine charm. After enduring the baptism of lightning, the scales on the Dragon Carp's body would become even more dazzling, each scale sparkling with golden light.
On the other side of the Immortal Palace, in a huge Spiritual Field, spiritual seeds occasionally flashed. Every plant in the Spiritual Field was priceless and rarely seen outside.
Especially after being bombarded by lightning, irrigated by surrounding spiritual springs, and nourished by the dense Spiritual Qi in the air, every spiritual plant here could be called a great medicine!
Among them, several great medicines could already sense the anomaly outside, seemingly having developed rudimentary intelligence.
Liu Xianyun's figure rapidly approached, the expression in her eyes growing increasingly firm!
It had been ten years, but a meeting was inevitable. She couldn't become an obstacle to herself!
They were, after all, the closest people, with no animosity, but rather the ones they cherished most. Continuously avoiding each other was inherently unrealistic.
At this moment, Liu Xianyun seemed to have sublimated herself, beginning to confront her past.
Buzz!!!
Suddenly, a sharp Sword Intent slashed horizontally from within the Immortal Palace. The Sword Qi was like the moon, spanning the sky, its piercing shriek seemingly capable of splitting this world in two!
And the target of this sword was precisely Liu Xianyun!
Chirp!!!
Seeing this, Liu Xianyun's expression remained unchanged. Her figure floated in mid-air, and with a flick of her finger, an ancient sword gleaming with immortal light shot forth. Its Sword Qi soared to the heavens, and its Sword Intent surged forward like crashing waves!
Boom boom boom!!!
In an instant, the two Sword Qi met, colliding with boundless force, exploding into a storm in the air!
Dazzling light emanated, obscuring even the scorching sun in the sky!
Fierce Sword Qi violently clashed, and ten thousand feet above, visible to the naked eye, shattered Sword Qi continuously scattered in all directions!
This astonishing scene occurred during the day, immediately attracting the attention of all Cultivators in the entire great city.
The first to react were those in Dianxing Academy. Professors and students alike emerged from their residences, looking up at the high sky with shock.
"What's happening? How dare someone attack on the Holy Mountain?"
"It seems someone from the Holy Mountain made a move. Could it be an Old Ancestor-level existence? And who is this person? Do they really warrant such a response?"
"I don't know, I've never heard of anyone daring to assault the Holy Mountain. It's strange, why haven't the deans of our Academy appeared?"
"Yes, even the deans haven't moved. What's going on? No, we should quickly go and report to the deans of each hospital!"
Professors and students moved into action, some going to report to the deans, while others sought to find out who was responsible.
Meanwhile, in a small courtyard.
Gao Xingwu and Shi Sanyuan remained as steady as mountains. The explosive Sword Qi impacted all around, with the greatest effect on the Academy, but with the deans present, it was naturally harmless.
Gao Xingwu simply waved his hand, and a barrier suddenly appeared above the Academy, blocking the Sword Qi falling from the sky from entering the Academy.
"These two sisters attack so heavily the moment they meet. The Palace Master is truly strict."
Gao Xingwu shook his head, unsure what to say.
One was the Palace Master, the other her biological sister. Both had been watched as they grew up, and both were Disciples of the previous Palace Master. What could they say?
Family matters could only be resolved by them.
"You know the Palace Master's temper. When Xianyun left that year, the Palace Master happened to be in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Immortal Realm. She couldn't stop her."
"She also harbored some thoughts of letting her experience the dangers of the world. She probably never imagined that in just ten years, Xianyun would have already entered the Golden Body Realm and dared to return to see her!"
Shi Sanyuan and the others knew a lot and understood the situation.
It was simply that Liu Ruqing was too strict with Liu Xianyun, leading to Liu Xianyun running away from home after she came of age.
In reality, Liu Ruqing's strictness towards Liu Xianyun was solely for her growth; it was just that this way of expressing love was flawed.
Liu Xianyun certainly harbored resentment towards her sister, and even developed fear in her childhood. Not returning for ten years was because she didn't want to face her sister.
But now she had not only entered the Golden Body Realm but also dared to return to see Liu Ruqing, which meant she had overcome her Heart Demon. For a Cultivator, this was undoubtedly the greatest fortune!
It also explained how her cultivation could grow so quickly; overcoming her Heart Demon contributed greatly.
The two deans' conjectures were, by common sense, plausible, and this was the most likely possibility.
But they didn't know that behind Liu Xianyun, there was also a man standing in the Immortal Realm!
Shen Tianxing!
He was the key to Liu Xianyun's growth!
...High in the sky, after Liu Xianyun unleashed a sword, the ancient sword azure snow dragon's cry was held in her hand. A wisp of sharp Sword Intent continuously emanated, impacting the Golden Summit Immortal Palace, seemingly challenging the person within the Immortal Palace.
Inside the Immortal Palace, the person who had struck with the sword did not make another move, seemingly surprised by Liu Xianyun's resistance, or perhaps brewing an even stronger Sword Intent, it was unknown.
After a long while, a voice suddenly echoed from within the Immortal Palace.
"Ten years. I thought you would never return to see me in this lifetime."
"Golden Body Realm Peak, you've indeed made quite a bit of progress."
The voice was like a celestial melody, clear and crisp, yet also seemingly from an unreachable Immortal Realm. One could only hear the words but not see the person.
A chill permeated the voice, as if devoid of any emotion, but for Liu Xianyun, hearing it again felt like yesterday.
"I didn't come here to look up to you. This is also my home. I returned simply because I wanted to."
Liu Xianyun was very calm.
Facing her sister again, the oppressive feeling from her childhood was completely gone.
Facts proved that Shen Tianxing was right; she wasn't too far behind her, and would even surpass her in the future. There was nothing to avoid.
Moreover, no matter what, she was still her sister. For the first eighteen years, she was ultimately sheltered under her wing.
Her coldness was not truly so; it was simply that from her position, she had no choice but to act that way.
Suddenly, a figure as clear and cold as the moon emerged from the Immortal Palace.
Dressed in black, with an graceful figure and exquisite, flawless facial features, she bore an eight or nine-tenths resemblance to Liu Xianyun, but appeared more indifferent, composed, and carried a hint of unapproachable dominance.
Her long hair was snow-white, contrasting with her skin, making her appear even fairer.
She was like a block of ancient, unmelting ice, emanating a chilling aura!
