Above the Great Dao-Chapter 1378 - 644: House Servants Step In (Part 2)

The four returned to Fuluo Village. When the villagers of Fuluo saw the two children, You Yu and Tao Tang, they were taken aback. Then they saw Ding Sisi and quietly put away their axes, kitchen knives, and rolling pins.

Chen Shi said, "I must rely on all of you this time. I thank you all here!"

He bowed deeply to the ground to everyone.

The crowd quickly returned the salute.

Outside Golden Turtle Island, Black Iron Immortal Cities approached from all directions, besieging the island completely.

These Immortal Cities were initially intended to guard against Golden Turtle Island. As the saying goes, soldiers are raised for a thousand years for a moment of use. These Immortal Soldiers and Generals have been drawing salaries for thousands of years, with Golden Turtle Island behaving peacefully except for its perilous environment.

Now that Golden Turtle Island has turned malevolent, these Immortal Soldiers and Generals are exceptionally excited, feeling that their chance to achieve merits has come.

Qiao Gu recovered his cultivation before Jiao Quezi, suppressing the Outer Dao within him. Gazing at the scene outside Golden Turtle Island, he frowned.

Senior Sister Jing Mei came to his side and whispered, "Junior Brother Jiang and Junior Brother Chen have both entered Candao Cliff. Even if Chi Jing Immortal were to come, he wouldn't be able to break in."

Qiao Gu sighed in relief, saying, "I wonder if the Heavenly Court is aware of the changes at Golden Turtle Island. Even if they know, they might not be able to rescue in time."

Senior Sister Jing Mei said, "They are Divine beings, acting within the scope of their Divine Office, unable to defy it. If they come to assist, they must be punished and might even be sent to the God Execution Platform."

Qiao Gu fell silent.

Senior Sister Jing Mei said, "Fortunately, other senior brothers are outside. They can keep themselves safe."

At this moment, from across, in one Immortal City, Immortal Light surged, a pillar of light descended from the sky, landing within the city. Then, many brightly dressed young maidens with flower baskets surrounded the pillar, descending from the heavens, scattering petals around.

Within the pillar of light, a graceful figure slowly descended—a handsome young man.

"Who is this newcomer, so ostentatious?" Senior Sister Jing Mei asked in surprise.

Qiao Gu's face darkened, and he whispered, "He is Yong Guike from Yunxiao Cave Heaven."

Senior Sister Jing Mei's heart trembled, remaining silent. The coughing ailment troubling Qiao Gu was precisely from the Dao injuries inflicted by Yong Guike.

Back then, Qiao Gu was a prodigious talent renowned at the time. Even when placing his Harmonization Land in a perilous place like Penglai West, his cultivation advanced rapidly, soon becoming a True Immortal, Golden Immortal.

After achieving Golden Immortal, he progressed by one realm in a hundred years, crossing six great Dao realms in six hundred years, nearing Taiyi Golden Immortal.

It was during his travels and imminent breakthrough that he encountered Yong Guike of Yunxiao Cave Heaven.

The Master Lineage and Three Pure Ones Lineage were adversaries. A disagreement between them led to combat. Due to having to retain a portion of his cultivation to suppress the Outer Dao in his Dao Realm, Qiao Gu could not withstand Yong Guike, suffering grievous injury.

The Dao injuries Qiao Gu suffered were extremely severe, requiring him to constantly use sixty to seventy percent of his cultivation to suppress them. Originally, he had a high chance to break through and become a Taiyi Golden Immortal. However, because of Yong Guike's Dao injuries, his cultivation stagnated, making no progress for millennia.

Yong Guike's cultivation at the time was similar in level, yet he continued to improve over the years, becoming the most dazzling young powerhouse in Yunxiao Cave Heaven.

Qiao Gu remained expressionless, yet the Dao injuries within him burned with pain as if reminding him of this enmity.

Yong Guike seemed to sense this as well, glancing over.

Their eyes met briefly before Yong Guike descended into the Immortal City.

Immortal Light shined upon other Immortal Cities too, where Fairies scattered flowers, welcoming the arrival of each Taiyi Golden Immortal.

During the Great Shang Era, Taiyi Golden Immortals were essentially synonymous with the strongest. Yet, times have changed, and now their number far exceeds that of the era. But Taiyi Golden Immortals remain incredibly powerful, rivaling the formidable Daoist Gods of the Heavenly Court or contending fiercely with Great Demons of the age!

"Yunxiao Cave Heaven only had five Taiyi Golden Immortals, but now sixteen have arrived!"

Qiao Gu took a cold breath, indicating that at least eleven of them came from other Cave Heavens!

Through hundreds of thousands of years of development, the Three Pure Ones Lineage has branched out. Numerous sects have emerged, bringing forth a multitude of experts. This time Yunxiao Cave Heaven must have enlisted Taiyi Golden Immortals from other branches to help, determined to seize Golden Turtle Island!

Inside one Immortal City, Yong Guike respectfully stood and behaved submissively, welcoming the arrival of Taiyi Golden Immortals.

"Master Jun, Master Chun, Master Liu..." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Being of a younger generation, he greeted each warmly, to which Master Jun laughed, "Daoist Yong, you are already a Taiyi Golden Immortal, sharing our realm. Why such humility? Once your cultivation is accomplished, you are our Daoist friend."

Yong Guike bowed slightly and said, "Uncle Master, once a teacher, always like a father. My master and uncle masters usually refer to each other as Daoist. If I do the same, wouldn't that upend the hierarchy?"

The group erupted in laughter.

Master Chun said, "Thinking of Fu Lao'er calling his disciple Daoist, I feel joyful, unconsciously cultivating the Three Flowers on the Top."

He laughed heartily, revealing three lotus flowers on his head.

These lotuses were extraordinary, Dao Flowers—the essence of Taiyi Golden Immortal's Daoist Skill, only expectable to bloom at the sixteenth Dao realm level.

Currently, Master Chun managed to bloom one of the Three Flowers, truly enviable.

Other Daoists witnessing this laughed, saying, "Seeing Spring Dao Brother's Three Flowers bloom vigorously, I suddenly sense a spirited spring, causing my own Dao Flower to bloom!"

With that, he patted his head, indeed causing three flowers to emerge with one Dao Flower in bloom.

The crowd marveled, as several Daoists revealed their Three Flowers, having bloomed one or two.
