Chapter 366: Chapter 6 Again Meeting an Old Friend

Inside the thatched cottage, three beings powerful enough to move mountains and seas and shake the earth with the wave of a hand faced each other silently for a moment.

Wu Kong glanced at the Devil Immortal Pill by his feet, his fingers twitched slightly, restraining himself from picking it up. This subtle action brought the Fox Fairy back to her senses, and she quickly darted out and snatched it back into her mouth.

Her eyes filled with doubt, her voice carried an uncontrollable disbelief, "Impossible, absolutely impossible."

"He’s so young, not even nine hundred years old yet, right? How could he become a Saint? Immortal Land is but a breath of a Saint, could it be that the Heavenly Emperor is so extraordinary that he can create a Saint in one breath?"

That was the expected reaction.

Wu Kong, satisfied, smilingly countered, "Why couldn’t it be his own natural talent? Were there any Immortals before Qingcang who achieved it in eight hundred years?"

Before coming here, he had also been surprised for a long time and had spent several days gradually accepting the fact of Gu Wen becoming a Saint, which is why he arrived a few days late.

The Fox Fairy instantly fell silent, at a loss for words.

Back then, she had said the same to Qingcang, then watched helplessly as someone she had admired from the Human Race became an Immortal within a mere few hundred years and subsequently penetrated Jianmu, pulling the exalted Devil Ancestor from his pedestal.

Wu Kong continued, "And before Gu Wen, there was no one under forty who achieved Dao Foundation Perfection, naturally, there were no Saints in eight hundred years."

"Why didn’t we feel the commotion when he became a Saint?"

The Fox Fairy’s tone contained a bit more uncertainty, but she was still defiant.

"If becoming a Saint let everyone know, would it still be called becoming a Saint? Little fox, I was already an Immortal when you were possibly not even born."

Wu Kong naturally refuted, his slight pride causing the Fox Fairy to grit her teeth.

Actually, he wasn’t clear about it either, when the Heavenly Court and the underworld still existed, there were records of the disturbances when two Saints became Little Saints. The Heavenly Emperor was a single clear breath ascending, leaving only the clear breath in the sky. The Lord of the Underworld was a single grand wish, bringing millions of the deceased back to the underworld.

Wu Kong was guarding the gate and didn’t hear any noise, just saw Gu Wen pushing the door open and leaving.

But the person was indeed standing right in front of him, and this was the most incomprehensible thing to Wu Kong.

"Where is he?"

Qingcang’s lips moved slightly, her voice had a bit more emotional fluctuation.

"He has already left Two Realms City, he should have just arrived at Taiyi City..."

Before Wu Kong finished speaking, just as he said the word ’city’, an incomparable divine thought fluctuation swept over like a tsunami, bursting out of the Sanqing Taoist Sect.

The clouds in the sky were pushed back a hundred miles, revealing tens of thousands of miles of clear sky. Hundreds of thousands of Three Pure Ones Disciples looked up, unsure of what had happened.

With a push and pull of divine thought, Qingcang frowned, her eyes cooling down, she questioned, "Why couldn’t I find him?"

Wu Kong answered as if he had anticipated this, "You haven’t become a Little Saint, how could you spy on a Little Saint, besides Taiyi City is three million miles away from here."

The world is vast, a big mountain in it is like a grain of sand, and even great powers moving mountains and seas are only ants moving a single grain; even an Immortal cannot see the end.

"You could send someone to verify, I remember he used the Flying Rainbow Token to board the ship and leave."

Similarly, before he finished speaking, a fresh breeze returned, and a disheveled handsome Daoist in a loose Daoist robe, his eyes still blurry from sleep, lay on the ground.

Wu Kong could tell that Qingcang, his fellow Daoist, was very anxious.

Yun Miao Venerable blinked, looking somewhat bewildered at the three people present, he sheepishly said, "Ancestor, I was actually working, just dozed off for a bit."

Every fifty years the Sanqing Taoist Sect would rotate leaders, and now it was Venerable Taiqing in charge. Unlike Huayang, Yun Miao wasn’t as interested in power; if not for the former’s stern actions and preference for not breaking rules over power, he would have handed all authority over to him.

Qingcang said, "You go and investigate, was the Flying Rainbow Token used a few days ago?"

"What is that?"

"Go check."

"Yes, sir!"

Yun Miao leaped up like a carp jumping out of water, then turned into a streak of light and flew off. Not long after, joyful shouts came from outside.

"Ancestor! Gu Wen, that boy, has come out! He’s out! Hahaha, this is fortune for our Daoist Sect, a fortune for the Human Race!"

He rushed in hurriedly, his face full of smiles, dancing with excitement as he described, "The Flying Rainbow Token was actually a strange token issued by various major shipping sects when the Heavenly Girl borrowed authority from the line of Pure Yang years ago. I wondered why she was acquiring so many residences everywhere, it turns out it was all prepared for Gu Wen."

"You’re so flustered, where is the demeanor of a Venerable?" Qingcang rebuked before asking, "So, it was Gu Wen?"

Yun Miao responded, "It should be, according to how the steward of the Yiwei Sect described him, a man of upright appearance. They will send a portrait over by express flying shuttle, it should take about a day."

Before he finished speaking, a scroll of the portrait had already landed in Qingcang’s hand, cutting Yun Miao off.

Both admiring the Ancestor’s capability and seeing his urgency, the scroll slowly unfolded, revealing a painting of a Daoist in green robes.

A faint smile involuntarily surfaced on Qingcang’s lips, her eyes softened.

"When will he arrive at the Three Pure Daoist Sect?"

"He got off midway to visit the Tianxuan Conference in Taiyi City."

"..."

Cang fell silent for a moment, somewhat dejected, "Checking out the Tianxuan Conference in Taiyi City isn’t bad either, after all, since he was little in Immortal Land, he hasn’t experienced much of what ordinary Cultivators go through."

"The more he sees, the better."

-----------------

Taiyi City.

A middle-aged woman squeezed past Gu Wen and entered, soon after, an argument erupted.

"What are you doing, parent?"

"We’re done, my family’s Big Hammer isn’t practicing this lousy Qi Cultivation Skill anymore."
