"Don’t be nervous, I’m just here to find someone."
Seeing the Lingtian Peak disciples around him, each with a tense expression on their face,
Mo Wangchen couldn’t help but inwardly smile bitterly. Was he really that frightening?
"Looking for someone? Who?"
The crowd looked at each other, relieved as long as he wasn’t here to cause trouble.
"Is Wu Lingfeng here?" Mo Wangchen asked.
Hearing his words, everyone immediately reacted.
Wu Lingfeng and Mo Wangchen both came from the Lower Realm, Canglan, which was not a secret anymore.
The two were friends, so it was not surprising that Mo Wangchen would visit Lingtian Peak for Wu Lingfeng.
Following one of the Lingtian Peak disciples, Mo Wangchen easily entered Lingtian Peak.
The two walked towards Wu Lingfeng’s location, encountering many Lingtian Peak disciples along the way, who all recognized him and couldn’t help but feel a jolt in their hearts.
However, upon learning Mo Wangchen was there for Wu Lingfeng, the Lingtian Peak disciples sighed in relief.
"I thought our Lingtian Peak had produced a troublemaker like Yang Zhiyuan, gave me quite a scare."
"Thinking back to Mo Wangchen’s last breakthrough feels like it was just yesterday, his Heavenly Tribulation was terrifying, I wonder how powerful he will become once he proves the emperor?"
"Among the Seven Peaks of Inquiry and their seven senior disciples, excluding Mo Wangchen himself and not counting Yang Zhiyuan, there are five others, of which only our own Senior Brother Leng Ziming is likely to suppress Mo Wangchen, right?"
"That may not necessarily be true. Those who can become the senior disciples of each branch are not simple figures; without really crossing swords, who could truly know their strength? Mo Wangchen may have extraordinary potential, but he has ultimately not stepped into the Emperor Realm, has he?"
Watching Mo Wangchen gradually move further away, behind him, many Lingtian Peak disciples were discussing.
"Senior Brother Mo, this is Senior Brother Wu’s residence."
In no time, under the guidance of the Lingtian Peak disciple, Mo Wangchen arrived at a certain courtyard.
Compared to his own simple abode, Wu Lingfeng’s courtyard was of much greater sophistication.
"You go ahead, I can go in by myself." Mo Wangchen said.
"Understood." The Lingtian Peak disciple replied and then left.
"What dense law aura, it seems he’s not far from proving the emperor himself."
Releasing his Divine Thought, Mo Wangchen easily sensed that the law aura within Wu Lingfeng’s courtyard was far denser than outside.
In the courtyard, Wu Lingfeng was cultivating and, sensing someone releasing Divine Thought to observe him, opened his eyes and frowned at the gate.
Mo Wangchen smiled and responded, surprised at how sharp this young man was.
Upon hearing Mo Wangchen’s voice, Wu Lingfeng exclaimed slightly, recognizing who it was at once.
He hadn’t expected Mo Wangchen to come looking for him.
After opening the door, Wu Lingfeng ushered Mo Wangchen into the courtyard and inquired.
"Are you free to come down the mountain with me?"
"Down the mountain?" Upon hearing this, Wu Lingfeng was stunned, "Is something up?"
"Qin Yue is about to sever her ties with past events; let’s go see her one last time." Mo Wangchen smiled, it seemed Wu Lingfeng hadn’t heard about this, perhaps not receiving the Flower Fairy Palace’s invitation.
"Is she about to prove the emperor..."
Wu Lingfeng frowned slightly, then nodded, "That sounds good, since we share a brotherhood, we should indeed go see her."
Not long afterwards, the two of them left the courtyard.
As they descended Lingtian Peak, Mo Wangchen smiled faintly and said, "Your Lingtian Peak indeed nurtures outstanding people; its strength surpasses that of the other peaks by quite a margin."
"After all, it’s the lineage of the Saint Master, naturally incomparable to the other peaks." Wu Lingfeng nodded.
"I see you are about to prove the emperor yourself, here is a Pill for you." With that, Mo Wangchen handed a Proving Emperor Pill to Wu Lingfeng, and went on to explain its effects to him.
Learning the Proving Emperor Pill could enhance the success rate of advancing to the Emperor Realm by thirty percent, Wu Lingfeng was naturally delighted and carefully stored it away.
"I heard that your Lingtian Peak’s senior disciple is the reincarnation of an Ancient True Immortal?" Mo Wangchen suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Wu Lingfeng paused, then nodded, "That’s true. The first time I met Leng Ziming, I felt a terrifying aura from him; his cultivation depth is unfathomable. It’s hard to gauge his exact level—perhaps in the entire Northern Immortal Domain, few could rival him!"
"How do you think he compares to Ye Wudao?" Mo Wangchen inquired.
"War God Palace Divine Son Ye Wudao, he’s the one who spoke about marrying Qin Yue?" Wu Lingfeng replied.
Mo Wangchen nodded, "Back in Silver City, when I fought Ye Wudao, he couldn’t do anything to me; the main reason was because I had Lin’s True Technique. Without Lin’s True Technique, if it were a fight to the death, I fear I wouldn’t last more than ten moves against Ye Wudao. But now..."
"Even without Lin’s True Technique, relying on Immortal Scripture and three kinds of law phenomena, I could have a brief exchange with him, but not have the chance to defeat him."
"In my view, perhaps...Ye Wudao compared to Leng Ziming is also lagging behind quite a bit." After contemplating for a moment, Wu Lingfeng commented.
"Oh?" Mo Wangchen squinted his eyes, "So it seems your Lingtian Peak’s senior disciple is truly an enigma..."
"This person is the reincarnation of an Ancient True Immortal, and also the direct disciple of the Saint Master. There have been rumors within the sect that he is likely to be established as the Divine Son for our generation of the Immortal Sect of Inquiry." Wu Lingfeng said.
"You’ve been at Lingtian Peak for a while, have you ever met the Saint Master?" Mo Wangchen suddenly asked.
Wu Lingfeng nodded, "Met once, when I first entered Lingtian Peak. It’s strange; I heard the Saint Master was an astonishing figure from six thousand years ago, yet their appearance looks similar to Qin Yue’s age, which shows their cultivation is so high they have maintained their youthful looks for six thousand years."
As they walked and talked, they quickly left Lingtian Peak.
They didn’t know that not long ago, in a certain spot on Lingtian Peak, two people were watching them. These two were none other than Northern Immortal Venerable and Baiyue Saint Master.
Only when Mo Wangchen and Wu Lingfeng’s figures completely disappeared from Lingtian Peak did Northern Immortal Venerable look away. He turned to Baiyue, "The girl you brought back from Canglan is about to exit seclusion, what do you plan to do?"
Baiyue Saint Master was silent for a long time before speaking, "I am but a residual soul reincarnation of Ji Mingyue. Even though I have severed the Dao, I cannot truly stand alone. Ziyao’s Nine Revolutions Body, she is the reincarnation of the Turquoise Pool Saintess from Tiannan, ten thousand years ago. Perhaps, neither she nor Ling Changkong realizes that ten thousand years ago, she was the same as me—a residual soul reincarnation of Ji Mingyue."
Ten thousand years ago, the Turquoise Pool Saintess and Yaoyao were the same person.
But very few knew that the Turquoise Pool Saintess from ten thousand years ago was actually identical to the current Baiyue Saint Master, both were ancient, a single residual soul reincarnation of a woman named Ji Mingyue.
