Chapter 965: Chapter 933: Return to the Cyan Mountain Sect

On Red Cliff, the skies are clear and bright, stretching endless miles without a cloud.

The spirit trees sway, their leaves producing melodious sounds, as a gentle breeze sweeps over, imbued with rich spiritual energy.

Cultivators staying here feel refreshed and immensely comfortable.

Lu Ping and Li Zhilu lock eyes, in this moment, their gaze is solely on each other, nothing else matters.

The two lean together, initially having many things to say, but now finding that with so much on their minds, they don’t know how to begin; just quietly leaning against each other is enough.

Being able to accompany one another, feeling warmth from the other, brings a great sense of satisfaction.

In the warm, beautiful atmosphere, they are so immersed that they lose track of time.

They spent most of the day at Red Cliff until both realized that this is not the Cyan Mountain Sect, but rather the Heaven Mending Saint Realm, snapping out of their sweet reverie.

Exchanging a glance, both wore a helpless smile, realizing they were showing affection in someone else’s domain, not entirely appropriate.

"Let’s have Elder Shui and the others return first."

Li Zhilu spoke, reluctantly releasing herself from Lu Ping’s embrace.

"Alright."

Lu Ping smiled, realizing it’s not time for intimacy. They’ve been married a long time, yet acting like a couple in love.

No need to rush this moment.

"Ahem."

Lu Ping feigned a couple of coughs and began contacting the Void Celestial Sword Spirit and Shanshan.

Shortly after, the Void Celestial Extreme Saint and the others slowly approached.

That day, at the invitation of the Heaven Mending Saint Master, Lu Ping and the others stayed for a while.

Learning that both Lu Ping and Li Zhilu had cultivated in Lingxi State, the Heaven Mending Saint Master remembered Heaven-Facing Sect and asked about the sect.

Upon discovering that Heaven-Facing Sect was a Nascent Soul Sect, the Heaven Mending Saint Master nodded slowly and inquired when Lu Ping might return, suggesting he could help deliver some items to Heaven-Facing Sect.

As a branch of the Heaven Mending Saint Realm, Heaven-Facing Sect had attracted the attention of the sect and was constantly monitored.

Lu Ping, a person with outstanding talent, a future Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarch to be born, intrigued the Heaven Mending Saint Master with Lingxi State.

"Sure."

Lu Ping agreed, and after some casual chatter with the Heaven Mending Saint Master, he received a storage bag, then took his leave.

The Void Celestial Extreme Saint showed no intent to linger, and after farewell, he guided Lu Ping and Li Zhilu back to Shuanghu Mountain.

Since regaining her memories, Li Zhilu longed for her family, missing her three children, Lu Yuanshan among them, eager to return.

Upon returning to Shuanghu Mountain, more than four months had passed.

Lu Ping brought Li Zhilu away temporarily, intending to return to Lingxi State.

"Go ahead, go ahead."

The Void Celestial Extreme Saint smiled lightly, handing over a map of Eastern State, which noted the precise location of an ancient teleportation array, directing Lu Ping to use it to return to Lingxi State directly.

After handling the Cyan Mountain Sect’s affairs, to facilitate future cultivation, perhaps relocating the Cyan Mountain Sect to the Central Ancestral Realm might be an option.

Lu Ping contemplated this matter, nodding slightly.

This indeed seemed like a good idea.

That day, after leaving Shuanghu Mountain, Lu Ping and Li Zhilu first flew back to Yu Yang City, reaching the Li Family by Cyan Simurgh Lake.

Upon learning that Li Zhilu had successfully lifted the Heart-removing Curse, Li Qianye and others celebrated, recognizing Lu Ping’s exceptional abilities.

Even being able to invite such a powerful saint master from the Heaven Mending Saint Realm was impressive.

They stayed with the Li Family for three days, and on the fourth day, Lu Ping embarked with Li Zhilu directly towards Eastern State.

After crossing the Hengzhou Mountain Range, they reached the Eastern State territory and quickly found the ancient teleportation array location as per the Void Celestial Extreme Saint’s map.

Experiencing the array for the second time, Li Zhilu was amazed at its powerful capability to teleport over billions of miles.

Thankfully, this saved a lot of time, unlike her previous journey to the Central Ancestral Realm by spiritual ship across days and nights, traversing the Outer Sea.

With the teleportation array activated, the two transformed into light, disappearing, and within a moment, were transported to the Outer Sea Territory.

Similar to their initial arrival at the Outer Sea, Lu Ping and Li Zhilu traveled to Kui Star Island and boarded a long-distance spiritual ship with Treasure Ship Commerce Association to Cyan Simurgh Island.

Subsequently, Lu Ping used a flying ship to travel directly with Li Zhilu to Lingxi State.

Lingxi State, Chu Kingdom, Cyan Mountain Sect.

Inside the Sect Hall.

Upon learning of Lu Ping’s return, Lu Yuanshan, Lu Changfeng, and Lu Zhiwei immediately came to see if Lu Ping had brought back their mother.

When entering the hall and seeing Li Zhilu, all three were stunned.

"Mother."

Lu Yuanshan stepped forward, his voice trembling.

No introduction from Lu Ping was needed; he instantly recognized his mother.

"It’s really mother."

Lu Zhiwei also beamed with joy, stepping forward, closely followed by Lu Changfeng.

"Yes, children, I’ve returned."

Li Zhilu replied, her brows filled with warmth and smiles.

Seeing her three children before her, they had become outstanding individuals, handsome and beautiful.

Though Li Zhilu is a Golden Core Cultivator, she shed tears of happiness, her heart filled with joy.

The reunion is joyous.

Previously, Lu Yuanshan and the others had searched for Li Zhilu for years, without a trace, fearing she might have sadly perished.

Thank heavens, she finally returned today.

To welcome Li Zhilu, Cyan Mountain Sect arranged a grand feast lasting three days, joy spreading throughout the sect.

Elder Jiang, upon getting the news, personally came to offer congratulations.

This trip to Central Yunzhou fascinated Lu Yuanshan and the others with the scenes described by Lu Ping. Having heard that the Central Ancestral Realm, within the Cyan Cloud Spirit Realm, was the most prosperous area, a holy place in the eyes of countless cultivators.

Their curiosity was piqued, as was their longing, never having been there.

They were eager to see Li Zhilu’s birthplace, also their mother’s homeland.

The mother-child reunion, despite long separation, wasn’t strange or distant; rather, it was very harmonious.

Li Zhilu stayed with Lu Yuanshan and listened to her recount these years’ experiences, sharing events big and small in detail.

From returning to Central Yunzhou to help her family resist Beast Tide, being afflicted by the Heart-removing Curse, muddled in the Li Family, restarting life and cultivation. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Finally, Lu Ping joined the Li Family and Long Family competition, defeating the Profound Evil Three Demons.

Leading her to the Heaven Mending Saint Realm to seek the saint master’s help to lift the Heart-removing Curse, those stories and more, she shared with the three all day and night without feeling tired.

Lu Yuanshan and the others listened intently.

In front of Li Zhilu, they set aside the image of sect leaders and elders, lowering their stature, being carefree like children in their mother’s eyes, just listening, chatting, and spending time together.

One family, joyous and harmonious.
