Chapter 990: Chapter 64 What a Trifle [Two in One]

Daoist Master Shenxu, Bai Wuxiang, the contemporary head of Shenxu Temple, was born here and, apart from his three thousand incarnations, hardly ever left Shenxu Temple. Although Shenxu Temple has always recruited outsiders as guardians, there had never been an instance where an outsider became the temple head. To become the temple head, one had to be a direct successor, born and raised within the temple like him, to ensure that the abilities would not be misused.

His wife was the same, although her life span was not as long as his, and she had already passed away. They had a daughter, Bai Yuxian, who also grew up within the temple. As the only orthodox and legitimate person of this generation in the temple, Bai Yuxian should have been the most orthodox successor of Shenxu Temple, the best candidate for the next temple head.

Bai Yuxian’s talent was also exceptional, but unfortunately, during a mission outside, she was exposed to the glitzy world of the mortal realm and met that man.

At that time, Jiang Tiankuo had countless followers after winning the Immortal Sect conference, and having been welcomed back by the Jiang Family to be appointed as the next Family Head, was enjoying peak popularity. He had countless beautiful and influential acquaintances from all walks of life, both from Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. But unexpectedly, he fell into the trap of this woman.

It was a literal fall.

At that time, Bai Yuxian was in the Mortal Realm collecting the Shenxu Ruins picture scrolls while Jiang Tiankuo, in a treasure hunt, met her, and they clashed over the spoils. As a result, he, who was the most sought-after of the aristocratic elite, was floored on the spot by this nameless beauty, who emerged from nowhere, and was soundly thrashed.

Somehow, this beating gave Jiang Tiankuo a feeling he had never experienced before, and he started to chase after Bai Yuxian.

It was a literal chase.

He followed Bai Yuxian all around the world, getting beaten up whenever he was caught, yet he relished it. In this way, following her and getting beaten, for some reason, Bai Yuxian also began to feel ripples in her heart.

Of course, the premise for all this to happen was that Bai Yuxian had the appearance of a heavenly being, with a transcendent temperament, just like an Immortal descending to the mortal world; while Jiang Tiankuo was handsome and elegant, stunningly brilliant, also exuding the grace of a banished Immortal, which led to what happened later.

If they didn’t have such charm, this would probably be a different story. This way of starting a romance with stalking and beating is definitely not recommended for ordinary people.

Bai Yuxian was kept in the Mortal Realm by Jiang Tiankuo, got married grandly within the Jiang Family, and even got pregnant; everything seemed to be progressing towards a happy end.

Until a guardian came.

He arrived at the Jiang Family with powerful Magical Treasures intending to forcibly take Bai Yuxian back. It would have been fine if he had simply been repelled. However, the Family Head of the Jiang Family, lusting after his treasures, secretly ambushed and killed the guardian.

This brought calamity.

The temple head personally took action. In one night, the Jiang Family was annihilated, Bai Yuxian was taken back to Shenxu Temple, and never again had freedom within the Celestial Pavilion. Immortal Qi Jing took his daughter to Shu Mountain for care, while he himself embarked on a journey across the Four Seas and Nine Continents to search for his wife.

It wasn’t until today, more than twenty years later, that Jiang Yuebai finally arrived at Shenxu Temple, in front of Celestial Pavilion.

She looked at the woman within the threshold, tears brimming in her eyes.

Bai Yuxian looked at Jiang Yuebai, and without need for many words, instantly recognized her as definitely her own daughter. She stood in the threshold for a moment, then took a resolute step forward.

With that step, she came beside Jiang Yuebai and hugged her. Jiang Yuebai’s stature was almost the same as hers, but she naturally fell into her embrace.

At this moment, Jiang Yuebai finally spoke out, crying and calling, "Mother."

...

Just a few walls away at the entrance of Shenxu Temple, the scene was not so peaceful.

Immortal Qi Jing, realizing Yang Buwei’s intent to kill him, no longer held back. Although this man had helped him a lot, it now seemed that it was only under Bai Yuxian’s coercion that he did so; casting aside all restraints now, his moves were deadly.

Yang Buwei’s controlled Dao, named Misty Mountain, belongs to the Dao of Yin Cloud.

The corresponding Dao of Yang Cloud is the Siyun Avenue controlled by Yao Dengxian. Siyun Avenue can adjust the celestial phenomena, bringing favorable winds and timely rain, the vitality of clouds.

Daoist Wu Yin, on the other hand, relies on cloud mist for stealth and haze for shape-shifting, the killing intent of clouds.

While Siyun Avenue is not good at combat, Daoist Wu Yin’s combat ability is much stronger.

Suddenly, Yang Buwei’s form flickered, turning into a billow of black mist, swirling up and ensnaring Immortal Qi Jing. A finger extended from a cloud of mist suddenly, once again condensing Immortal Qi like Divine Soldiers and Sharp Blades.

Sssh—

Immortal Qi Jing, still not dodging, extended his left hand to grasp those fingers, with his palm immediately being cut open again, golden blood dripping and splattering.

All around, the mist suddenly transformed into countless sharp blades, all shooting simultaneously toward Immortal Qi Jing. Though they were made of cloud mist, they became utterly sharp upon contact.

Each Mist Blade contained supreme Immortal Qi!

Immortal Qi Jing spun around, suddenly also turning into a cluster of white mist, booming—

The black mist exploded with a loud noise within, waves of mist billowing and suddenly dispersing. Immortal Qi Jing’s white mist burst forth, and when his figure reemerged, he slightly staggered, his clothes torn in many places, fresh bloodstains evident.

"Heh heh." Yang Buwei landed, "You can imitate my Cloud Mist Transformation, but you can’t master the method of Condensing Immortal Qi. This technique has been lost in the world for a long time now. With the same technique, you use True Qi, and I use Immortal Qi; naturally, you cannot defeat me."

"Is that so." Immortal Qi Jing, holding a trace of blood on his finger, with still a faint residue of Immortal Qi, said: "This substance requires a large amount of Spiritual Energy to condense even a wisp; no wonder it has long been lost."

It turns out that this secret of Immortal Qi is an ancient method. Before Saint Li, higher-cultivated beings all mastered it, and its essence was nothing more than condensing the essence of Spiritual Energy. However, after Saint Li, the constraints of heaven and earth rose to the Ninth Realms, and the cultivation of great beings surged. If existences in the Eighth or Ninth Realm were to condense Immortal Qi, the Spiritual Energy in the Mortal Realm would become thin, and if there were many, it could affect the growth of future cultivation seeds.
