Chapter 1066: Chapter 1066: Long Xuan Descends the Mountain

"Yes, Master."

Long Xuan lowered his head, yet there was no hint of emotion in his demeanor.

He respected his master, but he didn’t take everything his master said as a decree—clearly, he hadn’t taken this remark to heart.

Understanding his disciple’s temperament, the old Heavenly Master wasn’t angry, but he asked with concern,

"You are so eager to enter the Land Immortal Realm, is there a reason for that?"

After thinking for a moment, Long Xuan spoke softly, "There’s no particular reason, but a year ago I suddenly felt that I should become an Earth Immortal. If I continue to delay, I might lose a great opportunity—an opportunity that could change my destiny."

Cultivators often have premonitions when they seek enlightenment.

The higher the cultivation level, the more likely they are to perceive the guidance of fate.

This was especially true for someone like Long Xuan, who carried a great destiny.

That’s why, a year ago, he began his seclusion, attempting to break through the Hollow Vacuum and step into the highest realm of the Land Immortal Realm.

"Xuan’er, haven’t you thought that if you’re too reckless now and if you don’t find the right method, this barrier might become a lifelong obstruction?"

Upon hearing this, Long Xuan didn’t hesitate, and his eyes filled with boundless confidence as he said,

"In front of me, Long Xuan, there are no eternal barriers!"

The old Heavenly Master nodded in satisfaction. Seeing Long Xuan’s attitude, he felt reassured.

With this realization, even if he couldn’t become a Land Immortal right away, he believed it was only a matter of time.

After dispelling his worries, the old Heavenly Master then asked, "Is the opportunity you sensed urgent?"

Long Xuan shook his head, "I can’t perceive any time limit; it seems that this opportunity is not about a specific time, but about finding the right moment."

The old Heavenly Master blinked and thought for a moment, then said, "If you really want to strive for the Land Immortal Realm, as your teacher, I cannot stop you. But merely secluding yourself in Mount Longhu, you probably won’t be able to take that step."

Long Xuan had already spent a year stuck in Mount Longhu, and the old Heavenly Master could see that Long Xuan’s current inability to become an Earth Immortal wasn’t really about his realm.

It was about his mindset, about finding the right opportunity.

Questioning the Dao for eternal life—if mere seclusion and bitter cultivation were enough, then the world would already be full of Land Immortals.

For Long Xuan now, staying any longer in Mount Longhu was simply like drawing a prison on the ground.

"Go out and see; perhaps you can break free from the shackles in your mind."

"Go out?"

Long Xuan was taken aback. In his early years of seeking the Dao, he had traveled to famous rivers, visited and discussed the Dao everywhere; now there was scarcely a place in the world of Dao and Buddhism where Long Xuan hadn’t cast his shadow. Where could he go now?

"Whether revisiting old places or seeking immortals overseas, where you need to go ultimately depends on you," said the old Heavenly Master, tapping his chest at the heart.

Realizing what was meant, Long Xuan immediately bowed with his hands clasped, "Thank you for your teachings, Master. I understand."

The old Heavenly Master smiled and nodded. This was typical of Long Xuan, always quick to grasp the essence of things.

Though he was Long Xuan’s master, besides imparting the Dao, he hadn’t taught Long Xuan much else.

Getting to where he was now was largely due to Long Xuan’s own explorations.

Geniuses do not need others to pave their way; they alone know where their path lies.

"When will you leave?"

Long Xuan was about to say "today," but then, suddenly remembering something, he paused.

After thinking for a moment, Long Xuan finally spoke.

"I will visit Uncle Master today and leave the mountain tomorrow."

The old Heavenly Master nodded satisfactorily and then left Long Xuan’s seclusion chamber.

As the leading among the Four major Taoist sects, Mount Longhu was distinguished not only because it had Long Xuan, a young generation member of renowned fame, but also because it far surpassed the other three major Dao Sects in overall strength.

According to the rules of Mount Longhu, only after reaching the Hollow Vacuum could one qualify to establish one’s own cavern abode within Mount Longhu.

And the strongest among Mount Longhu were naturally the Four Great Heavenly Masters.

The Grand Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu, Zhao Kongming, the current Sect Leader, ranked among the top on the Celestial Bill. More than a hundred years ago, he had fought alongside Emperor Xia and was now the oldest on Mount Longhu, Long Xuan’s master.

The Second Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu, Zhao Huanzhen, was proficient in Pill-refining, crafting talismans... and other various Dao techniques. He was also a strong figure on the Celestial Bill, with numerous nominal disciples, but only a few direct disciples, among whom Long Li was one.

The Third Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu, Zhao Danping, had become famous at a young age. In his youth, he overshadowed even Long Xuan, challenging all the major sects of Xia Country alone with his sword, never leaving anyone unharmed or undefeated.

The Fourth Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu, Ji Yuguang, was the only non-Zhao surname among the Four Great Heavenly Masters and the only female Heavenly Master, as well as the current State Preceptor of Xia Country.

Long Xuan first went to the residence of Zhao Huanzhen, the Second Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu, but did not find him there.

Unsurprisingly, Long Xuan headed to the pill-refining room of Mount Longhu and indeed found Zhao Huanzhen’s figure in his dedicated pill room.

After showing his respect, he explained that he was leaving Mount Longhu. Zhao Huanzhen did not speak throughout, focusing only on his pill-refining.

It was only when Long Xuan was about to leave that Zhao Huanzhen suddenly seemed to remember something and quietly said, "Do you know about Long Li’s death?"

It was one of his few direct disciples who had died; although Zhao Huanzhen wouldn’t personally intervene, he wouldn’t ignore the matter entirely.

Long Xuan nodded, "The family has already passed on the message, but I do not plan to intervene."

"If you encounter this person when you leave the mountain, just kill him. After all, he is a disciple of Qingcheng’s Cang Qing, and he has killed our people from Mount Longhu. If we do not punish him, it would appear as if Mount Longhu is weaker than Qingcheng."

Zhao Huanzhen spoke calmly.

"Understood," Long Xuan nodded in agreement.

Next, he visited the Third Heavenly Master Zhao Danping. Instead of going to his residence, this time Long Xuan directly headed to the bamboo grove behind Mount Longhu.

Before reaching the destination, a Sword Qi attacked Long Xuan.

Long Xuan instantly dodged to the side, then seized the incoming Sword Qi, and by pressing his fingers together, completely crushed it.

"Hmm, better than before. You no longer have that sharp edge exposed like when you were younger. Remember, the blade of a sword is not solely for killing enemies. The most terrifying sword is one that knows when to be sheathed."

"Thank you for your guidance, Uncle Master."

Long Xuan nodded his farewell, knowing that his exchange with Zhao Danping on the Sword Dao was sufficient.

Afterwards, Long Xuan left the bamboo grove and headed to a secluded manor.

Ji Yuguang, the current State Preceptor of Xia Country and one of the Four Great Heavenly Masters of Mount Longhu, had her own Palace of Heavenly Masters on Mount Longhu.

However, Long Xuan knew that ever since she was appointed State Preceptor, she hardly ever returned to Mount Longhu; her Palace of Heavenly Masters was also often vacant.

Even when Ji Yuguang used to be at Mount Longhu, she did not reside in the Palace of Heavenly Masters but had a quaint cottage reminiscent of idle clouds and wild cranes, causing Long Xuan to unconsciously slow his pace.

Reaching the wooden fence, he looked inside. The house had accumulated a lot of dust, showing its owner had not returned for a long time.

However, Long Xuan did not just leave. He gently pushed open the main door, entered the house, and like a regular person, picked up a broom lying aside to clean the cottage. Then he wiped the table and watered the vegetable garden.

Once everything was done, Long Xuan left the cottage, looking back at the interior with satisfaction and smiling for the first time today.

Long Xuan thought to himself, ’She would probably be happy if she came back, wouldn’t she?’

In Long Xuan’s heart, that woman was always just that woman, not the so-called Uncle Master.

He then turned around, and a Peach Wood Magic Sword instantly appeared under his feet.

Long Xuan of Mount Longhu, descended from the mountain.
