678: Chapter 237: Qing Su Defeats the Golden Immortal!_3 678: Chapter 237: Qing Su Defeats the Golden Immortal!_3 Only a dozen or so of the senior inner sect elders and Linghua, Yun Ting, and Xu Sheng, three Golden Immortals who had rushed over from the back mountain, managed to gather close to Yun Zhongzi.

Yun Zhongzi spoke in a gentle voice, “The spiritual energy here is turbulent, and The Great Dao is resounding; has someone just made a breakthrough?”

“It’s Li Ping’an,” Li Dazhi replied with a smile, “Ping’an broke through the Heavenly Dao’s backlash last night, soaring directly into the sky, breaking through seven or eight minor realms in succession, and is now a seventh-rank Heavenly Immortal!”

“Oh?”

Yun Zhongzi nodded with a smile, “Not bad, not bad, the Heavenly Emperor himself ought to be a strong figure amongst heaven and earth.

However, breaking through too rapidly is also not conducive to future cultivation.”

Li Dazhi hastily said, “Ping’an’s breakthrough this time was because his late teacher, just before passing away, condensed his realizations into a beam of light and passed it on to Ping’an.”

“Not only that,” Yun Zhongzi sighed lightly, “The Sect Hierarch also gave Ping’an a little boost…

This matter is best kept only among us, do not spread it outside.”

Li Dazhi, Daoist Yun Ting, Granny Linghua, and Xu Sheng each bowed their heads in respect.

In a low voice, Xu Sheng asked, “Teacher, have you come here for some important matter?

If it involves the Great Sects’ affairs, we shall not eavesdrop.”

Yun Zhongzi smiled and waved his hand, casually taking out three Spiritual Treasures and shoving them towards the three of them.

Facing the Spiritual Treasures, Xu Sheng grabbed them in a flash, for they might be his shortcut to exploring even more advanced artifact refining techniques!

Daoist Yun Ting and Granny Linghua exchanged glances, with the latter saying, “We have yet to render any meritorious service and dare not accept your reward.”

“This is not simply for you.”

Yun Zhongzi sighed,

“With the passing of Kongming, many immortals have been harmed by the fiends of Wanyun’s demons, and the overall strength of the Castcloud Sect has indeed been greatly diminished.

Take it, you should also look ahead; Golden Immortals should have already comprehended the transiency of life and death.”

Granny Linghua covered her face and wept, whispering softly, “If you could have come two days earlier, who knows how happy Kongming would have been…”

“Linghua,” Elder Xu Sheng hurriedly said, “let’s take our leave so as not to disturb our ancestor’s discussion of important matters with Dazhi and Ping’an.”

“This junior misspoke,” Granny Linghua bowed her head in apology.

“It’s alright,” Yun Zhongzi spoke softly, “had I come earlier, I too wouldn’t have known how to face Kongming.

He was still my disciple, but after falling to the demons, there was no turning back, and it might have been better not to see him.”

Granny Linghua did not say more, supported by Daoist Yun Ting as they left.

Xu Sheng called out a few times, instructing the immortals of Castcloud Hall to return to their posts and the dozen or so inner sect elders that had come to wait in the main hall.

“Please, this way, Great Ancestor,” Li Dazhi led the way, “Ping’an is still cultivating; if you like, I’ll wake him up right away.”

Yun Zhongzi said, “There’s no need for that, I can wait.

Besides, there’s nothing urgent.”

Li Dazhi chuckled and sent a voice transmission to Xiaoyue to brew the best tea.

A moment later.

Yun Zhongzi sat down in Li Ping’an’s cultivation room, withdrawing his Dao Charm, observing the rising mist outside the window with its own charm.

At this moment, Li Ping’an was sitting upright on a meditation cushion, with the Cangyue Bead circling around him, transferring strands of the purest spiritual power into his body.

Li Ping’an had entered a deep state of enlightenment.

The Dao Charm around him was not yet stable, occasionally patches of azure cloud would circle around him before drifting above, quickly absorbing spiritual energy and growing into a massive white cloud that floated towards the broad world beyond the Mountain Protection Array.

After half an hour, a beam of Ice Blue Immortal Light fell in front of the gate.

Shouts could be heard within the gate.

“Qing Su has become a Golden Immortal!”

“Elder Qing Su has returned!

Golden Immortal Charms!

It’s the Golden Immortal Charms!”

“Our Wanyun Sect, oh, I mean our Castcloud Sect, has gained a new Golden Immortal!

Ancestors’ blessings, ancestors’ blessings!”

Li Dazhi blinked and, bowing to Yun Zhongzi, rose to greet the newcomer outside the gate.

Thus, a short while later.

There was a subtle shift in the atmosphere at Li Ping’an’s place of cultivation.

Dressed in an ice silver form-fitting long gown, appearing taller and more slender, Qing Su stood with her hands behind her back, leaning casually against a wardrobe, quietly looking at Li Ping’an’s face, which seemed unchanged.

Qing Su waited contently for Li Ping’an to wake up, to call him her ‘disciple’ after a long time.

Just the thought of this scenario made her lips curl into a slight smile.

Yun Zhongzi, on the other hand, was lightly stroking his beard, likewise looking at Li Ping’an’s figure, feeling a faint sense of anticipation welling up in his heart.

‘Ping’an, who will he call out to first?’
