Chapter 634: 301
Seeing Lu Yi and the Ling Luo Peak Master, along with several others, Wu Qingfeng and Elder Xuanming and others all showed surprised and delighted expressions, flying over to greet them.
“Sect Leader, Honorable Elders, it seems you are all doing well,” Lu Yi said with a smile.
Being able to remain calm and composed in front of so many Immortals was something Wu Qingfeng and the others definitely couldn’t have achieved in the past.
“Hahaha, it’s all thanks to Yi’er. Otherwise, how could we be enjoying such good days?” Elder Qi Ling laughed heartily, his face beaming with joy.
“Yes, Yi’er, the cultivation environment of our White Cloud Immortal Sect is now the best in the entire Tianming. The disciples all have great talent and are making rapid progress, which naturally makes us happy too,” Wu Qingfeng also said with a radiant smile.
“That’s great. Let’s talk more when we get back.”
Lu Yi and Wang Jianyuan had agreed to gather for a drink and discuss the Tao when time allowed; after bidding farewell to the group, they returned to the White Cloud Immortal Sect.
The White Cloud Immortal Sect had undergone dramatic changes by this time.
The area of the sect had expanded significantly, with pavilions and palaces spread over the mountain peaks within a radius of tens of thousands of miles.
The grandeur of the Outer Sect surpassed what it had been when Lu Yi was in the Outer Sect.
Lu Yi looked at the cultivators practicing in the Outer Sect and was somewhat surprised, “Golden Core Cultivators in the Outer Sect?”
“Hahaha, yes, now with the White Cloud Immortal Sect’s cultivation environment being so favorable, as long as one’s talent isn’t too poor, anyone can cultivate to the Golden Core Realm. If they were placed in the Inner Sect, there would be too many Inner Sect disciples,” Wu Qingfeng said with a proud laugh.
“Now, most of the Inner Sect disciples of our White Cloud Immortal Sect are at the Nascent Soul Realm, and there are some geniuses who have reached the Divinity Transformation Realm, and a few have even reached the Cave Void Realm.”
Donggong Ming Yue exclaimed, “They’re much more formidable than we were back in the day.”
Even Liu Ningshuang, Jian Ruyu, and Yun Xi nodded in agreement.
Lu Yi also felt a sense of admiration; even in his youth, at the same realm, he did not have the cultivation environment and resources the current disciples of the White Cloud Immortal Sect had.
After all, the region of the Inner Sect now had an excessively dense Spiritual Energy, even containing Immortal Spirit Qi.
It was only natural to have a faster cultivation speed in such an environment.
Soon, they entered the Inner Sect.
However, as they entered the Inner Sect’s plaza, Lu Yi saw to his surprise that a giant statue of himself had been erected there.
The statue stood with hands behind its back; it had captured a few good looks of his, reflecting an outstanding Immortal Talent.
What made Lu Yi embarrassed was, why was there a statue of him in the plaza?!
Lu Yi’s expression was a bit stiff.
Not just Lu Yi, those next to him like Liu Ningshuang and the others were also baffled.
The atmosphere became somewhat silent for a moment.
Wu Qingfeng, standing beside them with a hint of pride, pointed at the statue and laughed, “Yi’er, do you like it? Our White Cloud Immortal Sect can be said to have been built by you. Without you, there would be no White Cloud Immortal Sect as it is today, so I had someone carve your statue in the plaza. The response was very good. Many disciples come to admire your statue every day.”
Listening to Wu Qingfeng’s words, Lu Yi became even more embarrassed.
His mouth twitched slightly, a look of consternation across his face, “…It was you, Sect Leader, who had it carved? This thing is… somewhat too embarrassing.”
“What’s embarrassing about it? If it weren’t for you, where would the White Cloud Immortal Sect be? It can be said that you are the Immortal Ancestor of our White Cloud Immortal Sect. Shouldn’t the disciples recognize you?” Elder Ming also spoke up.
The other Elders from the older generation all nodded, feeling such a tribute was rightly due.
Lu Yi looked at the disciples under the statue; they all had youthful faces, some even a bit childish, clearly of young age.
But when these disciples looked at Lu Yi’s statue, their eyes were filled with admiration and excitement.
Lu Yi was silent for a while, then shook his head helplessly, “Alright then, let it stay here.”
Afterward, Lu Yi pondered for a moment, then his body emitted strands of an extremely mysterious aura.
Mysterious Tao Patterns began to manifest around Lu Yi, surprising even the likes of the Ling Luo Peak Master and the others, while Wu Qingfeng and the others watched fascinated as Tao Patterns surrounded Lu Yi.
To weaker cultivators, these Tao Patterns held an incomparable allure, enough to make them indulge in the way of the Tao.
Lu Yi had control, but still couldn’t completely prevent it.
With a flick of his finger, streams of Tao Runes infused into the statue, bestowing upon the statue a hint of weak Tao Yun.
This was Lu Yi engraving Tao Patterns into the interior of the statue.
At this moment, the statue was akin to a treasure polished by the Tao, emanating Tao Patterns, and could become a sacred cultivation site.
If a cultivator watching the statue had no ill will, they could receive feedback from the aura of the Tao, which could enhance their various insights.
As the Tao Patterns faded, Wu Qingfeng and the others came back to their senses.
They looked towards the statue, and although it appeared unchanged, they felt as if it had undergone a significant transformation.
“Yi’er, what did you do?” Wu Qingfeng asked.
“Nothing much, just imparted some essence of the Tao onto the statue,” Lu Yi said with a light smile.
The others, Wu Qingfeng and his companions, looked at each other with astonished expressions.
The Heavenly Dao was already an insurmountable existence for Mortal Realm cultivators, and the Tao beyond the heavens was even more elusive.
Lu Yi had actually left the essence of the Tao on the statue?!
What… What kind of technique was this?
Merely at the Unification Realm, Wu Qingfeng and the others found it incomprehensible.
Afterward, as they gazed upon the statue, they immediately sensed odd insights beginning to emerge in their minds.
