Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds-Chapter 783 - 396, Successful Free Immortal, Lu Zhuo’s Shock (Seeking Subscription)

「Time flew by. In the blink of an eye.」

「Four hundred years in the Chiming World. One thousand two hundred years in the Evergreen Immortal World.」

"Congratulations to Master for emerging from seclusion..."

At the Yao Guang Court, Mount Wanshou, outside Lu Zhuo's Cave Mansion, four young cultivators suddenly sensed something. They bowed respectfully towards the stone door of the Cave Mansion.

These four young cultivators, both male and female, were all elegant and graceful, unlike ordinary cultivators. Especially the purple-haired female cultivator standing second from the right; she was like a Nine Heavens Fairy. Her long dress flowed to her jeweled shoes, and her skin, like jade, emitted a soft glow.

After the four young cultivators had waited for a moment, the Cave Mansion Stone Door slowly opened, and a burly man in Silver Armor walked out. His eyes were like polished lacquer, brimming with spiritual light, his aura restrained yet formidable.

"Why isn't Xiao Wu here?" Lu Zhuo floated in mid-air, glanced at the purple-haired female cultivator, and asked in a low voice.

The purple-haired female cultivator was Jiang Yueying. She bowed and said, "Master, Junior Brother is in Seclusion Cultivation, comprehending Dao Principles. A few days ago, he broke through to the God Transformation Middle Stage. He must be stabilizing his realm and didn't see the talismanic message you sent."

"The God Transformation Middle Stage?" Lu Zhuo was surprised. To reach this realm in a thousand years... that's not slow at all.

He still remembered Xu Xing was only at Golden Core Consummation during the Ascending to Immortality Convention.

Now, upon emerging from seclusion, Xu Xing's cultivation had reached the God Transformation Middle Stage, nearly on par with his third and fourth disciples. His progress was astonishing.

However, this is merely cultivation in the mortal stages; it's insignificant to a Void Immortal Power like myself, Lu Zhuo thought.

As he finished speaking, the expressions of the male and female cultivators standing behind Jiang Yueying turned slightly awkward. In just over a thousand years, Xu Xing's cultivation has reached the God Transformation Middle Stage, on par with ours. Isn't Master implying we've wasted our time and the sect's resources?

"Yueying, you've done well," Lu Zhuo nodded slightly, a hint of appreciation for Jiang Yueying in his eyes. Xu Xing's breakthrough to the God Transformation Middle Stage was inseparable from his innate talent and comprehension, but it was also largely due to Jiang Yueying, who had taught the disciple in his stead.

"Xiao Wu?" The robed male cultivator standing before Jiang Yueying, first on the right, looked surprised upon hearing this. Apparently, Master took on another disciple during the years I was away from Mount Wanshou.

However, the robed male cultivator was surprised only for a moment before his expression calmed. Among Master Lu Zhuo's five Direct Disciples, I am the true core. For no other reason than I am the only one whose realm has reached the Immortal Realm, possessing the Free Immortal Cultivation.

"The Purple Clouds Thunder Tribulation?"

Just then, dark clouds gathered above the Yao Guang Court, and thunder roared. Strands of purple lightning brewed within the Tribulation Cloud, threatening to strike the mortal world at any moment.

Lu Zhuo and the others couldn't help but look up at the sky. As Mount Wanshou Disciples, Lu Zhuo and his disciples were no strangers to this purple lightning. They knew it to be the Purple Clouds Thunder Tribulation, encountered when breaking through from the God Transformation Realm to the Immortal Realm.

Lu Zhuo was surprised. Will our Yao Guang Court gain another Free Immortal Elder today? he mused.

He then instructed his eldest disciple, Zhao Cangming, to go to the inner part of the Yao Guang Court and inquire which God Transformation elder was undergoing the breakthrough. The Purple Clouds Thunder Tribulation is difficult to overcome. As Head of the Yao Guang Court, it's my responsibility to lend a Tribulation-avoiding Treasure to help the court's elders pass this trial, Lu Zhuo considered.

Zhao Cangming, the robed male cultivator, accepted the order and vanished in an instant, reappearing within the inner sanctum of the Yao Guang Court.

"Who is undergoing the Tribulation Crossing?"

"Whose Cave Mansion is this?" Zhao Cangming found a Yao Guang Court Deacon who was among the onlookers and questioned him.

"It is the Seclusion Cultivation chamber of Ding Jingren, the Court Head's Direct Disciple," the Deacon replied respectfully, recognizing Zhao Cangming, and answered without delay.

Zhao Cangming was startled. Ding Jingren? The new disciple Master took in?

For millennia, among Master Lu Zhuo's disciples, only I, his eldest disciple, had broken through to the Free Immortal Realm. Is there going to be another one now? But... Master never taught this Ding Jingren, not even for a day! It was only Second Junior Sister Jiang Yueying who taught him in Master's stead. Could Junior Sister Jiang be more suited to teaching cultivators? To guide someone to become a Free Immortal while she herself is only at the God Transformation Realm... Zhao Cangming was utterly astonished.

However, the situation was urgent, and he had no time for further thought. With a flicker of his form, he reappeared before Lu Zhuo and reported everything in detail. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"What?"

"The one undergoing the Tribulation Crossing... it's him?"

In an instant, the faces of the four people outside the Cave Mansion, including Lu Zhuo, were filled with astonishment.

Even Jiang Yueying, the disciple closest to Xu Xing within their martial lineage, had never expected Xu Xing to break through to the Free Immortal Realm before her.

Although I'd thought many times during our cultivation that Xu Xing might surpass me, I never imagined this day would come so soon! Just four hundred years ago, Xu Xing's cultivation was still at the God Transformation Middle Stage... Did Junior Brother Ding hide his cultivation from me? No! That's unlikely. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't have hidden... Jiang Yueying shook her Qiufu.

Breaking through from the God Transformation Realm to the Free Immortal Realm... one's cultivation level itself wasn't the most critical factor. Countless cultivators reached the peak of the God Transformation Realm only to remain stuck there indefinitely. To break through to the Immortal Realm, one had to resolve the issue of Sensing the Heavenly Heart. This was the very problem that stumped innumerable God Transformation Realm cultivators. Dao Principles were difficult to comprehend, and the Immortal Law was arduous to cultivate. As for the third path, becoming a Fortune Virtue Immortal, only a handful had ever succeeded since ancient times.

Compared to Jiang Yueying, Lu Zhuo was even more astounded to learn that the one undergoing the Tribulation Crossing was Xu Xing.

I accepted Xu Xing as my disciple but never taught him for a single day. Jiang Yueying was the one who taught him in my stead. And now, just as I've emerged from seclusion, this newly accepted disciple has become a Free Immortal, reaching the very same realm I was at before I began my seclusion...
