28: Mingyu enters the sect, the eldest brother's sword?

Since they were a subordinate power, before Ling Jun took Jing Mingyu away, he sent a message to Chen Mingdao to establish a massive teleportation array in the Jingyue Dynasty to facilitate travel. After all, the Jingyue Dynasty was on the border of the Eastern Region, while the Changqing Immortal Sect was in the core area, thousands of miles away. Given their cultivation, if they tried to reach the Changqing Immortal Sect on their own, they would likely drop dead from exhaustion on the way.

Of course, since they were returning to the main Sect, Ling Jun also brought along Jing Dongming and Jing Donghai, while Empress stayed behind to handle the affairs of the Jingyue Dynasty.

The speed was very fast; soon, a void rift descended outside the Changqing Immortal Sect.

Jing Dongming and Jing Donghai were completely won over by Ling Jun's strength, and at the same time, they felt a deep yearning for such power!

To Cultivate to the level of shattering the void, what Realm must one reach?

Jing Mingyu looked around curiously, feeling a bit of longing. Was Sister Zhenyue in this Sect?!

When Ling Jun brought them to the mountain gate, they were all shaken by the magnificent and ethereal entrance.

“Changqing Immortal Sect!”

“Unrivaled in the universe, eternally evergreen!”

Is this the imposing presence of an immortal Sect?

“Revered Master, what a spectacular mountain gate! Our Sect must be very large with many Disciples, right?”

Jing Mingyu said, her eyes sparkling.

Hearing this, Ling Jun spoke.

“Disciple, my Sect has only just been established, and you are part of the first generation of Disciples!”

“So, do you regret it? Becoming a subordinate power of my Sect!”

Hearing this, Jing Donghai and the others were shocked.

“We wouldn't dare, Senior! No matter what the Sect is like, our Jingyue Dynasty is single-minded and has no doubts!”

Despising the Sect just because it was newly established? Did they dare? With just one finger, Ling Jun could kill everyone in their dynasty a hundred million times over!

Jing Mingyu cheered joyfully!

Ling Jun said.

“Besides your Senior Sister Xiao Zhenyue whom you know, you also have a Senior Brother and a little Senior Sister above you!”

Hearing Ling Jun's answer, Jing Mingyu was extremely excited. Sister Yue was also in this Sect!

But does Sister Yue still remember me?

And there are two others below Senior Sister Zhenyue!

“Regardless, in the future, you must respect them as you respect me. They are all one-in-a-million peerless prodigies.”

“Okay.”

“Then Revered Master, what is their cultivation level now?”

“Your Eldest Senior Sister Xiao Zhenyue is twenty-five years old and is already at the Mid-stage Soul Transformation. Your Second Senior Brother Situ Chengfeng is twenty-six and at the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul. As for your little Senior Sister, let's not mention her; you don't need to know for now.”

Hearing this, the three of them almost dropped their jaws in shock!

Twenty-five years old! A Soul Transformation Venerable!

Twenty-six years old! A Nascent Soul True Lord!

Although Situ Chengfeng was relatively weaker, was that even an excuse? Look at the age! Some people are still in the Nascent Soul stage at hundreds of years old, or even a thousand before reaching the Soul Transformation Realm!

Is this what a true Prodigy is?

Jing Mingyu's mouth twitched. Seeing that she was only at the Qi Refining stage and belonged to the same generation as Xiao Zhenyue, she instantly felt dejected.

“Revered Master, can I still catch up to them?”

Hearing this, Ling Jun laughed heartily.

“What, feeling discouraged? Don't worry, Disciple. You also possess the one-in-a-million Medicine Spirit Sacred Body; you just lack a suitable Cultivation Technique. Your Senior Sister joined the Sect ten years ago, so this is normal.”

“Really? Revered Master, don't lie to me!”

“Relax!”

Afterward, Ling Jun led them into the Sect. Upon entering, an overwhelming and dense Spiritual Qi almost took their breath away. Fortunately, Ling Jun stepped in to protect them.

“Senior, this... this!”

Jing Donghai's expression was full of wonder.

This is a blessed land!

How can this even be described?

Thinking that Xiao Zhenyue was also cultivating in this indescribable immortal Sect, Jing Dongming was also very happy. Perhaps Brother Xiao could truly rest easy.

And Jing Mingyu, who loved beautiful things, fell in love with the scenery inside the Sect at once!

So beautiful!

At this moment, Ling Jun led them as they flew through the void. When they reached the Changqing Lake islands, they saw a massive dragon lying on an island, dozing. As if sensing something, the dragon opened its vertical pupils, instantly soared into the air, transformed into a human form, and landed before Ling Jun. Simultaneously, three other figures appeared before Ling Jun.

They then bowed respectfully to Ling Jun.

“We greet Elder Ling!”

“Haha, no matter, no matter. This old man is just bringing his Disciple back to the Sect, along with the Emperor of our Sect's subordinate power to report in.”

Ling Jun stroked his beard and said with a grin.

Hearing “Disciple,” Azure Dragon and the others looked at Jing Mingyu.

Medicine Spirit Sacred Body! As expected of an Elder!

Azure Dragon was a super powerhouse in the Supreme Realm and saw through it at a glance.

In ten years, Azure Dragon's cultivation hadn't progressed much, staying at the middle of the Supreme Realm, but his Bloodline and Foundation had been greatly improved in the “Dragon Transformation Pool” created by Lin Daoyuan within the Sect. The same went for the demon wolf and other beasts. Here, these Gate-guarding Divine Beasts had new names given by Lin Daoyuan.

Azure Dragon was called Azure Dragon, the Lan Yan Demon Wolf was called Lan Yan, the Great Earth Rock Bear was called Savage Rock, and the Ancient Yao Peach was called Shallow!

The Dragon Transformation Pool was created by Lin Daoyuan to improve the Aptitude of future Disciples, as not everyone would have a special Physique. However, it was even more beneficial for Yao Beasts. To create this Dragon Transformation Pool, Lin Daoyuan followed the System's suggestion and even heartlessly made Nether Abyss give some blood!

Nether Abyss: ... “This Disciple is named Jing Mingyu, from the Jingyue Dynasty. And these two are the ruler and Old Ancestor of that dynasty.”

“Greetings, Fellow Daoists.”

Azure Dragon said. In truth, he could see their cultivation at a glance—they were like ants—but since they were the family of Ling Jun's Disciple, it was a different story.

Hearing this, Jing Donghai and the others were terrified.

“We wouldn't dare, Senior! May we ask who you are?”

Jing Donghai and the other felt like crying. They couldn't even sense the cultivation of anyone present!

Seeing this, Azure Dragon and the others were very satisfied with the two.

Fortunately, they didn't act arrogant based on their connections; these two were not bad!

“Oh, these are Azure Dragon, Lan Yan, Manyan, and Shallow. They are the Gate-guarding Divine Beasts of my immortal Sect!”

“Oh, and one more thing: my immortal Sect was built in the Canglan Mountain Range, though it has been renamed the Changqing Immortal Sect.”

Hearing this, the three felt as if they had learned some earth-shattering secret.

The Canglan Mountain Range was a notorious danger zone in the Eastern Region! It was a place where even those in the Void Refining Realm had a slim chance of survival. Rumor had it there were Yao Beasts above the Void Refining stage inside. Could it be? And to think the immortal Sect was actually in the Canglan Mountain Range—no, it should be called the Changqing Immortal Sect. How long would it take for the young talents who wanted to join to find it, unless the Sect announced its location?

Jing Donghai and Jing Dongming didn't dare think further. Could it be that the ones before them were those very beasts?!

“Greetings, Divine Beast Lords!”

Jing Donghai once again pulled Jing Dongming to bow.

“There is no need for that!”

Jing Mingyu also wanted to bow to Azure Dragon and the others, but she was immediately stopped by Azure Dragon. Then, Jing Mingyu's small hands were filled with gifts, and she happily left with Ling Jun. She even gave Shallow a hug—she couldn't help it, she liked the aura, and Shallow was very beautiful!

If one were to say who the most beautiful sights in the Sect were now, it would undoubtedly be these beauties within the Sect!

Shocked all the way, the three arrived at the Evergreen Grand Hall.

The three were very nervous. Based on what they had seen along the way, they didn't know how to describe the immortal Sect; it felt like something that shouldn't exist in this world. As for the Revered Master of this Sect, they didn't dare to imagine. For a moment, an invisible pressure loomed over their hearts.

Apprehensively entering the hall, they saw Lin Daoyuan sitting in the center of the massive hall.

“Sect Master, Ling Jun has returned!”

“Oh? You didn't hurt your Disciple, did you?”

Lin Daoyuan teased.

This simple exchange eased the tension in the three's hearts. This Sect Master seemed very easy to talk to!

Then, Ling Jun habitually sat in his own seat.

“Jing Dongming and Jing Donghai of the Jingyue Dynasty greet the Lord of the Upper Sect!”

Jing Dongming and Jing Donghai were incredibly respectful.

Hearing this, Lin Daoyuan said.

“Rise. I have only one requirement: manage your dynasty well and be loyal to this Sect! Can you do that?”

“Also, there is no need for you to pay tribute. Just do your part well. Is that clear?”

No need to pay tribute? Was it still a subordinate power then?

Jing Dongming and the other were shocked.

“Sect Master, our dynasty's sincerity is clear. Why no tribute?”

“Alright, alright. This Sect has no interest in your resources. It's better for you to use them to develop your dynasty and make it strong. If the main Sect has a task, it's enough if you can help. Do you understand?”

Hearing this, Jing Dongming and Jing Donghai felt a bit ashamed. It turned out he just didn't care for their resources. So, was this purely just them clinging to a powerful backer?

Jing Mingyu didn't dare to interrupt, as she understood this was a conversation between elders.

But thinking about it, Jing Donghai and the other were filled with fighting spirit.

“We will certainly not fail the Sect Master's expectations!”

“Alright. When you head back later, Ling Jun will give you some resources. Over the past few years, that fellow Zhuge Ming has hoarded quite a lot!”

Hearing this, Ling Jun laughed.

“Understood, Sect Master!”

“This... we cannot accept this, Sect Master. We still have many of the resources Senior Ling Jun gave us last time.”

“Hmm? You're refusing?”

Lin Daoyuan questioned for a moment.

Hearing this, their hearts tightened, and they quickly agreed.

“Before you go back, you can look around the Sect. After all, Ming Dao has set up a teleportation array.”

“We obey your command!”

“You may leave!”

Jing Dongming looked at Jing Mingyu and then left with Jing Donghai.

At this moment, Jing Mingyu was nervous as hell!

In the vast hall, the delicate Jing Mingyu didn't even dare to raise her head.

Lin Daoyuan smiled.

“Am I that scary?”

“Your name is Jing Mingyu?”

“Yes, Sect Master!”

Jing Mingyu answered as fast as lightning. Hearing this, Ling Jun laughed heartily, which made Jing Mingyu glare at him, making a mental note of it.

Look how nervous this girl is!

“System, am I really that majestic?”

【Take a guess.】

“I won't eat you, so why are you so nervous!”

Hearing this, Jing Mingyu stretched her neck and raised her head. When she saw Lin Daoyuan lying leisurely on his seat, his figure like a Banished Immortal, her mind went blank.

Is this the Sect Master? So mysterious!

And there's also a sense of... familiarity... “Jing Mingyu, from now on, you are the Third Senior Sister of the immortal Sect. You must Cultivate hard in the future, understood?”

Hearing this, Jing Mingyu nodded.

“This Disciple will certainly not fail the Sect Master's expectations and will Cultivate hard!”

Lin Daoyuan smiled with satisfaction.

From then on, another beautiful figure was added to the Sect.

“Alright, Ling Jun, you go and make the arrangements!”

“Yes, Sect Master!”

Afterward, Ling Jun led Jing Mingyu out of the Changqing Hall.

“Revered Master, were you laughing at me?”

“No, I wasn't!”

I'll pull your beard!

Ling Jun said in pain.

“You little girl, how dare you treat your Revered Master like this!”

Seeing this, Lin Daoyuan was speechless. It seemed like life wouldn't be easy for the old man Ling Jun from now on! Afterward, Jing Donghai and the others departed and returned to the dynasty. Before leaving, they gave Jing Mingyu a long list of instructions, but it went in one ear and out the other.

On the way back to Pill Peak, suddenly, a heaven-shaking Sword Intent soared into the sky, tracing a beautiful sword shadow in the air. Below, a thousand-foot waterfall had been split into two streams, and the water was even flowing backward.

Jing Mingyu was shocked!

“Revered Master? Is that Sister Zhenyue?”

“No, that's your Second Senior Brother!”
