Chapter 339: Chapter 339: Meeting with Netizens ( )

Early the next morning, Xuan Che arrived.

Yu Sheng immediately noticed the hidden anticipation and apprehension on the other’s face.

"Relax, it’s just opening the door to go home," Erin, perched on Yu Sheng’s shoulder, casually remarked to Xuan Che, "You’ll be there in the blink of an eye."

"Even though I saw it once last time, the means of the expert still feel mysterious and incredible," Xuan Che’s expression was a bit tense, but he was trying to relax, "Spanning the Star Han, opening the door to arrive, regardless of distance—the Star Gate built by the Algredians still requires some travel in ’super space’," he said truthfully, "I’m genuinely curious about the principle behind Mr. Yu’s ’door’..."

"I wish I could explain it clearly," Yu Sheng, already in his coat ready to leave, reached into the air, "The Special Service Bureau recorded so much ’sample data’, yet we still haven’t figured it out. Is everyone ready? I’ll open the door if everyone’s ready."

"All set, all set~" "Savior, we’re ready." "Yes, okay."

Yu Sheng smiled slightly, then took a deep breath, calming his mind before he began to construct the door leading to Qianfeng Ling Mountain—though he was a bit nervous, not because of the act of opening the door itself, but this being his first venture beyond the... Boundary Land’s civilization circle.

What kind of place would Qianfeng Ling Mountain be?

As this thought flashed through his mind, a door with a slightly translucent texture quickly formed in his hand, and with a click, the doorknob turned, and the door opened.

Yu Sheng opened the door, seeing the ethereal fairy peaks on the other side, with towering palaces and majestic halls.

"You go first," Yu Sheng turned his head, glanced at the wide-eyed Xuan Che, and said with a smile, "I have to go last."

Hearing this, Xuan Che quickly bowed, adjusted his clothes, and stepped towards the door leading back to Qianfeng Ling Mountain.

The moment he crossed the door, the casual outfit with the style of Boundary Land transformed into a simple yet finely crafted robe.

Yu Sheng was slightly amazed at the convenience of the Immortals upon seeing this, and then let Erin and the others go through, following closely behind himself.

The scenery changed instantly, and in a blink, they had stepped into a different land. But before Yu Sheng could take in the environment of Qianfeng Ling Mountain, a somewhat familiar voice reached his ears—

"Master! Master! Senior Brother came out of the alchemy furnace!"

The next second, Yu Sheng saw a gray-robed young Daoist boy, appearing to be twelve or thirteen, running past, only to be swept up by Xuan Che a short distance away, who lifted him by the collar: "Always tattling! Always tattling! I was instructed by the Master to return this time!"

Then, an old, authoritative voice echoed from the main hall, carrying a hint of laughter: "Xuan Che, all right, put Xuan Yun down. This kid knew you’d return today and was too excited to contain himself."

Yu Sheng quickly looked in the direction of the voice to see an elderly man at the end of the spacious main hall, dressed in a simple Daoist robe, with white hair and beard, exuding an aura of celestial righteousness. Behind him stood more than a dozen male and female cultivators, with a breathtaking view of the Immortal Mountain visible beyond the hall’s open columns, unobstructed by walls.

Xuan Che casually put down the young Daoist and quickly approached the elderly man, bowing with respect: "Master, I’m back."

"Well, the task was well done." True Man Yuanling smiled, nodded approvingly at Xuan Che, then turned his attention to Yu Sheng and the others.

He stood motionless, as if in a trance, without blinking while looking this way.

But Yu Sheng wasn’t surprised at all; Xuan Che had the same reaction upon seeing him before—people often found themselves in a daze when gazing at him, especially those with high spiritual talent, so he’d grown accustomed to it.

So Yu Sheng simply smiled and stepped forward to greet the elder: "Pleased to meet you, nie... uh, True Man Yuanling."

He almost called out "Wayward Disciple Four Thousand" by habit but fortunately corrected himself at the last moment.

True Man Yuanling snapped back to awareness after Yu Sheng spoke, the celestial old man hurriedly adjusted his expression and returned the greeting in a somewhat overly solemn manner: "Pleased to meet you, it’s an honor for my sect to have you visit."

Standing by, Xuan Che was momentarily stunned by the scene; he knew his mentor and Yu Sheng were "friends" online and expected some polite exchanges when they met, but his master’s reaction clearly surpassed his expectations.

He wanted to ask something, but caught the sidelong glance from his master and quickly swallowed his words.

Meanwhile, Yu Sheng, along with Erin and others, exchanged pleasantries with the elder, getting to know each other briefly. Feeling slightly uncomfortable with True Man Yuanling’s continued politeness, he awkwardly waved his hand: "Just call me Yu Sheng, like when we chat on Border Communication... Meeting in person with such formality makes me a bit nervous. Besides, if anything, you’re the elder, and I’m just a youngster..."

Before he finished, he noticed an increasingly strange expression on True Man Yuanling’s face.

"Mr... Yu is too modest," True Man Yuanling replied, "Since you say so, I’ll call you Yu Sheng."

While speaking, he gestured to the figures standing nearby: "Disperse, disperse, return to your places—inform the Immortal Banquet Hall to prepare a feast."

Then he turned back to Yu Sheng: "These are my disciples who insisted on coming over when they heard of the esteemed guest’s visit. Pardon their curiosity. I’ll first take you to a resting place. You’ve traveled from afar and..."

True Man Yuanling had only half-finished speaking before suddenly stopping. Then he sensed something was off and turned his head to look at Xuan Che, who had just opened the door and come in, as well as Yu Sheng, Erin, Hu Li, and Luna who followed. He stood thinking in place.

"...Actually, it’s not very far," Xuan Che said cautiously, "just a few steps to walk."

True Man Yuanling began to stroke his beard, continuing to think.

Yu Sheng couldn’t help but laugh at this situation and waved his hand to the old man, "Hey, don’t bother about that, you don’t need to arrange a place for us to live. My ability is such that even if I was thrown to the edge of the universe, I could be home in the blink of an eye, just by opening the door—so I actually have another matter I’d like to discuss with you."

True Man Yuanling immediately straightened his expression upon hearing this, "Feel free to say."

"We don’t need accommodations, but do you have any open space here where my house could settle down?"

True Man Yuanling blinked, continued stroking his beard, and kept thinking.

The road to cultivate immortality is long, with countless wonders of the mortal world. True Man Yuanling considered himself well-experienced over hundreds of years, but he suddenly felt he was lacking in the realm of wordplay...

Yu Sheng immediately understood what was going on from the old man’s reaction, coughed twice, and hurried to explain, "It’s like this, my house is somewhat special..."

He proceeded to explain some special aspects of No. 66 Wutong Road to the "Old Immortal" in front of him, trying to make the abstract house as comprehensible as possible. Nevertheless, True Man Yuanling was astonished as he listened, taking several seconds after Yu Sheng finished to finally organize his thoughts, full of surprise: "Your Cave Mansion can ’Qiankun Transport’ at your will?"

"You could say it like that?" Yu Sheng was not entirely sure, "In my own understanding, it just resets the ’coordinates’ of the entire building, but I don’t know how you’d explain this process in your terms."

True Man Yuanling seemed not to hear him, instead pinching his beard and continuing to think aloud, "...What is the principle behind this..."

Yu Sheng had to cough twice beside him to remind, "Ahem, I can’t explain the principle either. Anyway, about the ’settling’ matter, can you arrange that? Of course, my request might be somewhat abrupt, if it’s unsuitable then forget it, after all, it’s not very troublesome for me to just open the door and go back."

"It’s not abrupt, not at all," True Man Yuanling immediately waved his hand, already smiling, "I just don’t know how much space your Cave Mansion needs? There is no shortage of empty space on Spirit Storage Peak..."

"Just find any place," Yu Sheng replied casually, "actually my house doesn’t need much space—when it ’lands’, it expands its own area, just needs to be somewhere as quiet as possible and unobstructive."

"A quiet place? That’s easy, I have a Cloud Viewing Platform on the back mountain of Spirit Peak, the scenery there is excellent, and usually no disciples or servants go there, there’s even a path directly connecting to this main hall. Would you like it placed there?"

Upon hearing the description, Yu Sheng immediately nodded, "That would be fine."

"Good, I’ll arrange for my little disciple to take you over—I’m off to the Immortal Banquet Hall to see how the meals are being prepared. Once your... house is settled, let’s chat again."

As he spoke, a small disciple named "Xuan Yun," who looked only eleven or twelve years old, came over, bowed politely to Yu Sheng and the others in style, "Honored Immortals, please follow me."

While speaking, he couldn’t resist sneaking glances at Yu Sheng, full of curiosity. Noticing his sneaky glances had been caught, he grinned widely.

Yu Sheng and his group followed the little disciple.

Xuan Che kept watching their figures disappearing behind several pillars, then suddenly heard his master’s quiet sigh beside him.

"Master," he turned his head, finally getting the chance to voice his earlier question, "just now you were..."

"Xuan Che," True Man Yuanling interrupted his disciple, his expression already stern, "when you usually interact with experts, you don’t often peek, do you?"

Xuan Che was taken aback, lowered his head and answered honestly, "No, just accidentally glimpsed something the first time we met, as I told you."

"It’s good that you don’t peek," True Man Yuanling seemed relieved, but then his face broke into a smile, "a blessing, indeed, a blessing."

"Master," Xuan Che wore a puzzled expression, but his instinct told him that his master could definitely see more than he could, "what did you just see..."

"Xuan Che, have you ever seen the starlight of the two ancient stars, Taigu and Huijiao?"

"Taigu? Huijiao?" Xuan Che didn’t know why his master suddenly brought up this topic, but quickly reacted, "I do know of them, it’s said that they are the oldest stars in this universe, their brilliance reaching to the ends of the heavens, going back to the day of creation, the opening of the new world... Cultivators can gaze at the light of Taigu and Huijiao stars to comprehend the Dao, but I have yet to see the glory of these stars, given my shallow cultivation."

"...I have seen them," True Man Yuanling said softly, "Taigu, Huijiao, their starlight is immensely distant and unfathomable, unforgettable for its ancient majesty, there is indeed some sense in saying they were born at the opening of heaven and earth."

Xuan Che blinked, "So then..."

"Still younger compared to Mr. Yu."

Xuan Che: "...?!"
