Chapter 405: 229. The Opportunity to Achieve Immortal Body (Two-in-One Chapter)_4

Zhang Hui still spoke in an even tone, "I insisted on leaving the capital this time, which led to continuous disturbances, troubling Chu Sheren quite a bit."

Chu Yu replied, "Your Highness is too kind. It is my duty."

She also exchanged courtesies with everyone from the Celestial Master Mansion.

A somewhat unconventional newly appointed Celestial Master looked at Chu Yu with keen eyes, appraising her from head to toe before suddenly saying, "Your recent retreat seems to have been fruitful. Have you reached the Eightfold Heaven Realm?"

Chu Yu smiled. "The Surge of Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi benefits all of us cultivators."

Prince Xun’an Zhang Mu stood by, watching the dazzling and even more elegant Tang Xiaotang and Chu Yu, and couldn’t help but feel a sense of reflection.

Tang Xiaotang’s youth was a well-known fact. Chu Yu was the late-born daughter of the Suzhou Chu Clan Chief. Although older than Tang Xiaotang by a fair amount, she was similarly youthful, still a long way from her hundredth birthday.

Then there was Xu Yuanzhen from Dragon Tiger Mountain, who had become famous even earlier. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

And thinking of Li Tianqing and Xing Feng from the Witchcraft Sect, and the future Sect Master of the White Lotus Sect, who had recently caused a huge sensation in the Southern Wilderness, Zhang Mu’s feelings grew even more complex.

The younger generation was not only making a name for themselves but was gradually starting to take center stage and command the elements.

There were many more young talents like Tang Xiaotang and Chu Yu.

Take Xiao Xueting, for example. Though still at the Seventh Heavenly Layer, she was younger than Chu Yu. Her exploits in the Southern Wilderness battle were remarkable: she first slew Jiang Tiankuo of the Seventh Heavenly Layer, then executed Gao Pu of the Eighth Heavenly Layer, becoming famous both within and outside Great Tang.

Xiao Xueting’s biological elder brother, Xiao Chunhui, appeared unremarkable, but Zhang Mu, who had numerous dealings with him, knew he was not to be underestimated.

Zhang Mu could only describe these young ones as having boundless potential.

The Surge of Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi was beneficial to cultivators’ Cultivation Practice.

The younger and more talented they were, the more they could benefit.

A feeling of being usurped welled up within Zhang Mu. Yet, he felt no anger, only a sense of helplessness.

As for Her Majesty the Empress of the Tang Imperial Court, Zhang Mu did not even consider her at that moment.

Of course, where there were those who rose to power, there were also those who fell to dust.

Lin Zhen from the Lin Clan of Jiangzhou, Li Zhengxuan from the Li Clan of Xinzhou, Ye Lingxi from the Ye Clan of Jinzhou, Shangguan Peng from the Shangguan Clan...

All had once been famous prodigies, but now they had all turned to dust.

An era of prosperity for cultivators seemed to be approaching.

But under the great surge of the world’s fate, more and more people were being left behind, old and young alike...

"There’s a suspicion of bullying when cultivators are in different realms, but now that everyone is at the Eighth Heavenly Layer, that’s no longer a concern." Tang Xiaotang looked at Chu Yu with a smile.

To the side, Lei Jun and Chu Kun, fellow disciples, turned their gazes left and right.

Sect Leader, please don’t look so eager.

At least, this is not the occasion to speak of such matters...

"There will always be an opportunity in the future, but right now, my responsibilities weigh on me, and I dare not shirk my duties," Chu Yu said, the smile still on her face.

Familiar with the temperament of the Current Celestial Master, Chu Yu did not wait for Tang Xiaotang to speak again and took the initiative to say, "Aside from coming to receive Your Highness of the Eastern Palace and ensuring your safe return to the capital, there is another matter I need to discuss with the Celestial Master."

She spoke with utmost seriousness, piquing Tang Xiaotang’s interest. "What is it?"

Chu Yu composed herself. "Recently, the capital received some information. His Majesty has commanded me to personally inform the Celestial Master. The Lin Clan Chief of Jiangzhou returned to the Mortal World earlier. The initially confirmed location of his arrival is said to be around the Great Black Mountain in the Northern Border."

Upon hearing this news, Lei Jun and Chu Kun, who had previously turned their gazes away, simultaneously looked back.

Prince Xun’an Zhang Mu also focused his gaze. "The Lin Clan of Jiangzhou..."

The Lin Clan Chief, Lin Che, previously trapped in the twisted void, had finally returned to the Mortal World, to Jiangzhou, not long ago.

He naturally had not appeared directly in the Jiangzhou Lin Clan Ancestral Land but first emerged from the void turbulence elsewhere in the Mortal World.

Lin Che had returned, but Xu Yuanzhen had still not been seen.

Although it was not certain that they had ended up in the same strange void, this was still a clue.

"The Great Black Mountain in the Northern Border?" Tang Xiaotang showed significant interest.

After sending off Chu Yu, Zhang Mu, and the others, her eyes twinkled, her eagerness more apparent than before.

Lei Jun asked, "Junior Sect Sister?"

Tang Xiaotang replied, "Don’t worry. Although I’m eager, I’ll wait for Master to finish his retreat before making any move."

Sect Leader, are you being remarkably astute or remarkably oblivious... Chu Kun, adopting a meditative posture with his gaze lowered, sat quietly to the side without speaking.

Lei Jun retorted, "Senior Sect Sister might not want you to act this way."

Tang Xiaotang dismissed it with a wave of her hand. "That’s not important."

Ah, I get it. On one hand, you’re concerned about Senior Sect Sister, but on the other, you’re itching to go yourself... Chu Kun lowered his eyes to his shoetips.

She was, by nature, someone who couldn’t sit still.

Lei Jun’s recent jaunt through the Southern Wilderness with his disciple had only made a certain Celestial Master itch with envy, longing in secret.

To be fair, there was never a rule stating that a Celestial Master must always remain cooped up in the Ancestral Courtyard of the Sect and not venture out.

But currently, the Celestial Master Mansion was in a weakened state. In Xu Yuanzhen’s absence, Tang Xiaotang, as the foremost expert of Dragon Tiger Mountain, inevitably had to remain, guarding the mountain.

For someone so accustomed to freedom, her having stayed on the mountain for this long demonstrated a sense of responsibility that had already exceeded Lei Jun’s expectations...

If Yuan Mobai could successfully break through and achieve Perfection in the Eightfold Heaven Realm, Celestial Master Tang probably would not be able to sit still any longer.

Of course, she wouldn’t mind temporarily transferring control of the Altar of Wanfa Sect and the Celestial Master’s Sword to Yuan Mobai when she left the mountain.
