Immortal Father
Chapter 189 - 189 75 Accompanied by 800 Immortals!_3

189: Chapter 75 Accompanied by 800 Immortals!_3 189: Chapter 75 Accompanied by 800 Immortals!_3 To guard against dissatisfaction among the sect members, the announcement also detailed why the first sub-hall of Castcloud Hall was chosen to be located at Wei Yuan Sect.

In short, it’s mutually beneficial.

Wanyun Sect could utilize the artifact refining foundation of Wei Yuan Sect, and Wei Yuan Sect could make some spirit stones through Castcloud Hall;

The two sects have supported each other for tens of thousands of years, and now with Wanyun Sect lending Wei Yuan Sect a hand, it is also regarded as an act of brotherly friendship and loyalty.

Not only did the immortals of Wanyun Sect have no objections, but on the contrary, they felt honored and mentally soothed.

Soon, Mundane Affairs Hall issued a notice announcing that the Vice Hall Master of Miaoyun Hall and Sect Leader of Castcloud Hall, Li Dazhi, would soon head to Wei Yuan Sect to oversee the construction of the first sub-hall of Castcloud Hall.

He would be accompanied by six inner gate elders, thirty-six outer gate elders, and one hundred and eight True Immortal Realm sect members.

The notice concluded with the following words:

[Now that all the sects of the East Continent are watching the affair of Castcloud Hall closely, there may be sects that take the opportunity to cause trouble during this trip to Wei Yuan Sect.

The pivotal moment for the rise of Wanyun Sect has arrived, and the establishment of the first sub-hall of Castcloud Hall cannot afford any mistakes.

True Immortals with no urgent tasks at their peaks may also join the journey—the more the merrier.

Let’s not allow the insignificant few to look down upon our Wanyun Sect.]

These words had nothing to do with Li Ping’an; they were purely the personal initiative of Elder Yansheng.

When Li Ping’an saw this notice through his spiritual sense, he felt a knot in his stomach.

Qi Cultivators of the Path of Immortality generally value reputation and face.

With Elder Yansheng putting it this way, how could the True Immortals, Heavenly Immortals, and other immortals not go?

In the external structure of Wanyun Sect, most True Immortal Realm immortals receive provisions and focus solely on cultivation, with only a few True Immortals taking part in external affairs.

During the demon calamity in the Royal City of the Immortal Dynasty, there were only two True Immortal Realm external gate elders present.

Most of the sect members stationed at the borders of the Immortal Dynasty were of the same level as the minister Gao Xu in the True Immortal Realm; those stationed near the cities throughout the Immortal Dynasty were like Daoist Chen Gongmin of the Nascent Soul stage.

This time, with the True Immortals suddenly given the opportunity to venture out and protect the sect’s dignity and support the Great Wealth Immortal, how could the immortals not be eager?

For a time;

All thirty-six peaks bustled, and the Mundane Affairs Hall was crowded with immortals.

Seeing such a scene from afar, Li Ping’an felt slightly more at ease.

Not to mention anything else, just the combined combat strength of these immortals was more than enough to annihilate a mid-size Immortal Sect, and with the covert protection of a Golden Immortal, his father’s safety was essentially guaranteed.

In the secret chamber underground, Li Ping’an lit three sticks of incense and placed them before the offering tablet of the Three Pure Ones; he quickly glanced at the purple radiance on the altar and saw that a small amount of Primordial Soul power had been consumed.

The ‘prophetic’ vision within the glow showed no changes; his father’s calamity had not yet arrived.

“If only I could know the approximate time…

Father should be in the Heavenly Immortal Realm when he faces his trial…”

Li Ping’an muttered to himself, a purple immortal light flickering on the back of his left hand.

The Blue Moon Pearl flew out from the palm of his right hand, circulating around him and releasing rich spiritual energy, aiding him in advancing his cultivation.

…

On the day of departure.

Li Ping’an opened the gate of his residence early.

He changed into a semi-worn light blue Daoist robe and applied the Hidden Dust Technique that he had refined once again in advance, making himself look like an ordinary, handsome male cultivator.

It wasn’t long before Ningning Mu flew in on her sword.

Following Li Ping’an’s earlier instructions, she dressed in an ordinary disciple’s long skirt and donned a treasure veil, doing her best to appear inconspicuous.

However, her peach blossom eyes couldn’t help but exude a vivacious charm, and even the most common-looking long skirt seemed extraordinary on her graceful figure.

Li Ping’an hadn’t expected that, after completing her Foundation Establishment and setting her outer appearance, Priestess Ningning would be able to join the ranks of ‘sins grievous enough to shock the heavens.’

Half an hour later, Gu Qingcheng arrived with one of his senior sisters to meet up.

Li Ping’an didn’t recognize this senior sister from Jianyunfeng and took her to be a friend of Gu Qingcheng’s, asking Ningning Mu to go and chat with her.

Their main purpose in following was to sponge some good fortune; having one more person was no trouble at all.

The Immortal Qing Su had already hurried to the Mundane Affairs Hall in advance, to meet with the other immortals as an accompanying Heavenly Immortal.

Although Wen Ling’er also wanted to see the world and visit her ‘name only master’ whom she hadn’t seen in many years, Li Ping’an ordered her to stay behind to guard the place.

She had no choice but to obey, not daring yet to express her desires in front of Li Ping’an.

After the four disciples had chatted over tea for a while, a jade talisman flew in from the Mundane Affairs Hall.

“Let’s go,” Li Ping’an said with a smile, “the immortals from the various peaks have almost gathered; we’re about to depart.”

Ningning Mu, Gu Qingcheng, and the charming senior sister happily agreed.

The four of them boarded Li Ping’an’s flat boat and hurried across the sky to the main peak.

Initially, the group was lively and full of laughter.

Ningning Mu and the senior sister chatted away merrily; Gu Qingcheng, looking cool, stood by Li Ping’an with arms folded, discussing the art of playing poor chess strategy.

As the cloud boat rounded a mountain peak, the Mundane Affairs Hall on the main peak was in sight;

The chatter of the two female disciples came to an abrupt halt, and the smile froze on Gu Qingcheng’s face, her arms quickly unfolding from in front of her.

Looking ahead, three stately ships were aligned.

They were filled with elderly Daoists, old women, and middle-aged Daoist practitioners, with only a small portion of female cultivators maintaining youthful and radiant visages.

Thirty-six Heavenly Immortals stood proudly, one hundred eighty-two True Immortals exchanged greetings, and six hundred Primordial Immortals gathered in small groups.

“Mentor, senior brother?”

Ningning Mu asked softly:

“Are we, are we going to join so many immortals?”

Gu Qingcheng’s voice trembled a bit, “Just, just the four of us who haven’t become immortals, disciples only?”

Li Ping’an sighed lightly with his hands behind his back and said in a low voice, “You just need to find a corner to sit quietly when we get there; remember not to greet or exchange pleasantries…

otherwise, you’ll have to offer respects eight hundred times.”

The three disciples felt a chill in their hearts.

This was indeed:

When the Great Wealth Immortal wished to set forth from the mountain, eight hundred immortals followed among the clouds.

If external demons dare to disturb the peace, there would be neither corpses coming nor returning.

Several beams of immortal light lit up inside the Mundane Affairs Hall.

Sect Leader Yun Mo rode his cloud with Li Dazhi following slowly, giving him several instructions.

Li Dazhi bowed in acknowledgment and descended towards the central ship.

While Li Dazhi was exchanging greetings with the immortals of the various peaks, the four made their way quietly to the ship at the rear, each holding their breath and concentrating, finding a quiet corner to sit in.

Just as the four thought they had successfully avoided trouble, a high-level Primordial Immortal Realm official, who had been waiting for Li Ping’an for a long time, quietly approached them.
