Immortal Father
Chapter 621 - 621 218 Jie Sect's Overture

621: Chapter 218 Jie Sect’s Overture 621: Chapter 218 Jie Sect’s Overture Wanyun Sect, main peak.

Bodies were laid out in Wanyun Hall, covered with white cloths, while numerous women and young disciples burned paper and offered prayers beside them.

Over a hundred elders recited scriptures and burned incense in the hall to accompany these fallen Wanyun immortals on their last journey.

Li Dazhi had just come from the bamboo forest behind the mountain to oversee the follow-up affairs.

One of the three Vice Sect Leaders had fallen in battle, and Moyi, the Vice Sect Leader who had also been heavily injured in that battle, was supposed to retreat and heal.

However, Li Dazhi had asked him to stay.

‘The sect has faced great turmoil; it’s crucial for several senior sect members to move throughout the sect and stabilize the morale.’

This was the reason Li Dazhi gave Vice Sect Leader Moyi.

Li Dazhi gave Moyi a Daoist salute, which Moyi returned with a slightly stunned nod, accepting the command and proceeding to carry out his duties.

Times had changed.

Moyi knew well that he was no longer a match for this father-son pair, so he admitted his errors, stabilized his injuries, and set about busily arranging things to help Wanyun Sect through this difficult period.

The founding ancestor of Wanyun Sect had used the ‘Falling Demon Technique,’ leaving him with only half a year to live;

The two Golden Immortal ancestors were both gravely injured and needed to recuperate for an extended period;

Over thirty Heavenly Immortal elders had been killed, with more than a hundred seriously injured;

More than two hundred True and Yuan Immortals within the sect had been killed or wounded, most of whom were the elite from the various peaks;

Over a thousand sect disciples had died in battle, the majority of whom had been pointed to death by a single finger from the enemy’s Da Luo Golden Immortals.

If this had happened to another major sect, it wouldn’t have been surprising to see it crumble; a resurgence would have been incredibly difficult.

However, at this moment, Wanyun Sect’s reputation had already spread throughout the East Continent.

As the only sect that had faced and triumphantly survived the onslaught of the Demon Tide, Wanyun Sect’s fame roared loudly.

Li Ping’an, the True Immortal of Great Enlightenment, had established his position as the Heavenly Emperor using the ‘Great Vow’ method, inflicting heavy damage on the Demon Tide, destroying one Da Luo and one Taiyi Dao Body of the Demon Tide, eliminating two Taiyi Golden Immortals and five Golden Immortals of the Demon Tide, as well as thousands of Demon Race experts.

His name was celebrated throughout the four continents.

The relationship between the Demon Tide and the Western Sect was no longer a secret.

This battle had even led to the four Great Sect Leaders engaging in magical combat from afar.

Nüwa and Zhunti had manifested their giant Dao Bodies, with Zhunti getting a bump on his head from the Red Embroidered Ball…

and so on.

Such events quickly spread far and wide.

Many immortals spontaneously came near Wanyun Sect, partly to express their condolences and also in hopes of meeting the new Heavenly Emperor.

Li Dazhi, dressed in white mourning attire, stood with hands clasped behind his back in front of the Sect Leader’s corpse, silent for a long time.

Xiaoyue and Ningning Mu had been brought back to Wanyun Sect, and were now both busily working while dressed in plain-colored gowns beside him.

Elder Yansheng hurried over, speaking in a low voice:

“Uncle Master Dazhi, the Eastern Alliance has sent a message, saying that the Human Emperor has ordered the extermination of the Demon Tide and is currently pursuing the demons of the Demon Tide.”

“Hmm,” sighed Li Dazhi, “Thank the Human Emperor for me.

Send a brocade banner to the Eastern Alliance later, and also a plaque.

The wording will depend on what the elders come up with.

Have you inquired about Elder Tianli’s condition?”

Elder Yansheng replied: “Yes, they say it’s not very optimistic; he might not be able to advance further in his Dao Realm, but thankfully, he has already reached Taiyi.”

“Send Elder Tianli some more tonic gifts then.”

Li Dazhi felt deeply:

“If it weren’t for this elder, we would have been completely annihilated.

“Although this elder is grumpy and messy, he truly steps up when it counts.”

Another elder came rushing over, bowed to Li Dazhi, and asked, “Uncle Master Dazhi, Ping’an has been rumored to be taken by Mother Gui Ling to the Jie Sect; there’s nothing to worry about that, right?

Many disciples in the sect are concerned about this matter.”

“Tell everyone not to worry,”

Li Dazhi waved his hand:

“Ping’an has already left Wanyun Sect, he’s now on a whole different level from us; he has his own Heavenly Emperor path to follow.

We should cultivate diligently and contribute more to the Human Race.

“Remember to let the sect disciples know they can’t claim to be the Heavenly Emperor’s disciples.

“The main thing is, the Heavenly Court isn’t established yet.

There isn’t even a place for him to work, let alone establish the majesty of the Heavenly Court.”

“Ah, yes…

Should we celebrate afterwards to prevent everyone from becoming too sorrowful?”

Li Dazhi said: “Let’s talk about celebrating three years from now.

First, we’ll console the deceased souls and give a dignified send-off to the Sect Leader.”

The two elders sighed, bowed, and took their leave.

Li Dazhi looked up at the characters ‘Wanyun’ written in a style that resembled dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, and became a bit lost in thought.

‘What is Ping’an doing now?’

‘He must be discussing the matters of the New Heavenly Court with the Jie Sect Hierarch.

It must involve the interests of various parties.

I wonder if the child can maintain a good balance.’

…

Azure Wander Palace, behind the main hall.

“Ah!

Sister, stop scratching me!

Haha!

That tickles!”

This was the voice of Mother Gui Ling.

“Little Gui Ling, don’t run away now, let your sister here check on the development of your Dao Body recently; don’t transform back into your true form.”.

This came from the previously silent and reserved Mother Wu Dang.

“You two keep it down, don’t disturb Master’s honored guest.”

This was said by Jinling Saint Mother, who, though she loved to wear golden skirts, was definitely not wearing one now.

“Woohoo!

Little turtle has arrived!”

Mother Gui Ling had transformed into her true form, which must have been quite sizable, as splashing sounds emanated from that direction, followed by the playful scolding and laughter of several women.

Li Ping’an glanced around at the thick mist, sitting snugly in the Splendid Pool enveloped by the white fog, his old face involuntarily turning red.

This…

this was too…

The overall atmosphere of the Bitian Pool was somewhat…

Is this the Jie Sect’s style?

In the Immortal Pool for men where he was, Taoist Duobao floated comfortably in a corner with a few green leaves stuck to his face.

Although he was only clothed with a decorative ribbon around his waist, the ribbon was hung with numerous Treasure Bead Storage Treasures.

Duobao’s treasures.

Li Ping’an then glanced to his left and saw the Tongtian Sect Leader, his waist shrouded in mist, his hands resting on the edge of the pool with an expression of comfort…
