Chapter 240: Zhang Yuge: Big Brother, Are You Going to Heaven? (6331 words)
The foundation of the Three Purities Immortal Gate is profound, and the process of the Saint Child's enthronement ceremony is also complicated.
Starting from ascending the Altar of Heaven, reciting prayers, informing the ancestors, and reaching the divine spirits.
Then reciting the declaration.
And the crowning of the Saint Child, receiving the "Heavenly Order" representing the identity of the Saint Child, accepting the baptism of all saints, and the disciples paying their respects.
After completing the entire process, it was already night.
The stars were shining brightly all over the mountains, and the lights were enchanting.
On the main hall of Fenglai Peak.
The banquet had already been prepared, inviting guests from various major Immortal Gates to take their seats.
"What a handsome and extraordinary young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. The Three Purities Saint Child is indeed well-deserved!" An old man smiled and looked at Wang Xiu, praising.
"Senior, may I ask who you are?" Wang Xiu smiled and saluted, asking for his identity.
"Saint Child, this is Shu Mountain's Qingling Peak Master, who is virtuous and has strong cultivation!" Elder Li from Fenglai Peak introduced.
Wang Xiu suddenly realized.
The seventy-two peaks of Shu Mountain are roughly equivalent to the various branches of the Three Purities.
The position of the peak master is equal to that of the chief.
And the current Qingling Peak Master in front of him had a strong aura and extraordinary strength. Obviously, he was a big shot above the Saint Manifestation level. Even among the peak masters, he could be ranked at the forefront.
The fact that Shu Mountain Immortal Gate sent a Saint to attend the ceremony showed their sincerity.
"I have seen Senior! Senior is too kind!" Wang Xiu clasped his hands and bowed, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Hey, Saint Child, there's no need to be modest! In the Holy Realm, you have taken care of our Saintess in every way. She has told us about these things! Speaking of which, we should be grateful to you..." Li Hanqiu stroked his beard, smiling happily, looking at Wang Xiu with a different gaze.
"To be honest, Xuanqi... is a junior of mine from the same sect!" A voice transmission appeared in Wang Xiu's ear.
Wang Xiu was slightly stunned, then suddenly realized and smiled, "So that's how it is!"
Li Hanqiu said, "Xuanqi said that you saved her life in the Holy Realm and gave her many opportunities! Without you, she would never have gained so much!"
Wang Xiu smiled and said, "How can I take credit? Senior Li is overestimating me. Xuanqi is extremely talented and has great luck. Even without me, she wouldn't be any worse off!"
Li Hanqiu laughed heartily, "Xuanqi said that you are a smooth talker, always saying things that people like. I didn't believe it at first, but it seems to be true!"
Wang Xiu: "..."
His mouth twitched slightly, and he subconsciously glanced at Li Xuanqi, who was sitting in the front row of the guest seats.
It seemed that the other party noticed his gaze, turned her head, and smiled with bright eyes and white teeth. Her crystal-clear skin seemed to be glowing, making people's hearts tremble with her beauty.
Then she walked directly towards him, with graceful steps and a swaying figure.
"What's going on? Are you talking about me?" Li Xuanqi lightly brushed her hair by her ear and smiled.
"Isn't the Saintess always concerned about the Three Purities Saint Child? She doesn't even think about tea or food. I saw it with my own eyes and felt sorry for her... So, I took the liberty to convey a message on behalf of the Saintess!" Li Hanqiu laughed heartily.
Li Xuanqi blushed slightly and lightly scolded, "Junior Brother Wang Xiu, don't listen to Uncle An's nonsense. He just likes to tease young people!"
She would only complain a few words when she had nothing else to do.
Where did it come to the point where she didn't want tea or food?
"..." Wang Xiu smiled faintly.
Li Hanqiu looked at the man and woman in front of him, the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.
How suitable?
How compatible!
He made up his mind, he would be the matchmaker for this couple!
"Li Hanqiu!" Just then, Ji Yan suddenly walked over, stood in front of Li Hanqiu, and looked very surprised, saying, "Hey, it's really you, kid?"
"Ji Yan?" Li Hanqiu was also stunned, then looked him up and down, saying, "I heard that you, this guy, have been indulging in women these years, and your cultivation has fallen a lot. I didn't expect you to be able to enter Saint Manifestation!"
The two obviously knew each other.
They had dealt with each other before.
"Long time no see, your mouth is still so foul! Forget it, today is a good day for my son-in-law to ascend to the position of Saint Child. I won't argue with you. Come, come, come... have a good drink with me!" Ji Yan pulled Li Hanqiu and walked to the side.
"Your son-in-law?" Li Hanqiu widened his eyes, stared at Wang Xiu for a while, and didn't believe it, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? With your appearance, what good fruit can you bear?"
Li Xuanqi also froze for a moment, subconsciously looking at Wang Xiu, who seemed very calm.
"Hey, I don't like to hear that! Daughter, come here!" Ji Yan blew his beard and called Ji Zidian to his side.
She attended today in her best attire, wearing a purple long dress, the skirt fluttering in the wind, swirling around her like purple clouds.
Her black hair cascaded down, her bright eyes were as clear as a spring.
Her skin was as fair as snow, with a touch of makeup, lacking the youthful innocence of a girl, but adding a mature and alluring charm.
She stood there, charming and captivating, making the lights in the hall pale in comparison, attracting countless gazes.
Wang Xiu felt that Ji Zidian was different today, not just in terms of her appearance.
Not sure if it was an illusion.
The size of a certain part seemed to be larger than the last time they met.
This girl, where has she been during this time?
"Dad! Senior Brother... Senior Sister Li!" Ji Zidian called out sweetly.
She quietly approached Wang Xiu and Li Xuanqi.
To be honest, if she wasn't worried about losing her manners, she would have come over long ago!
"This is your daughter?" Li Hanqiu also looked stunned, why was he so unbelieving, Ji Yan looked so odd, how could he have such a daughter?
"How about it? Isn't she as good as your Saintess at home?" Ji Yan was very proud, even his beard was pointing to the sky.
"Hmph!" Li Hanqiu brushed his sleeves and stopped talking.
"Don't be angry, look at our many years of friendship. When they get married, I will allow him to take concubines, and by then... I will definitely leave the first position for your Saintess!" Ji Yan patted Li Hanqiu's shoulder, winked, and transmitted his voice, feeling very proud.
But it made Li Hanqiu extremely angry, he glared at him and said, "You're dreaming! How noble is my Saintess? You dare to think about being a concubine!"
Ji Yan said, "Why are you shouting so loudly? Come, let's go to the side and have a drink and chat, don't disturb the young people's conversation!"
After saying that, without any explanation, he directly dragged Li Hanqiu away.
Leaving Wang Xiu, Li Xuanqi, and Ji Zidian standing in place, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
"Wang Xiu junior brother, it's stuffy in here. Can you accompany me for a walk outside? Take me to see your Three Purities?" Li Xuanqi pursed her lips and gently spoke, her breath like orchids, extending an invitation.
"Senior brother! I just had a drink and I'm a little dizzy. I want to go out for some fresh air..." Ji Zidian quickly said, covering his head, pretending to be unwell.
Wang Xiu didn't say anything, but he felt two scorching gazes staring at him, making him feel flustered.
It was the first time he felt a little nervous and didn't know how to speak.
"Oh, Li junior sister, Ji junior sister... why are you standing here? Quickly take a seat..." Just then, Xiao Qingyu suddenly walked over, holding one person's hand in each hand, and walked towards the seats.
It was quite sudden, and Li Xuanqi and Ji Zidian were a bit puzzled.
"Saint Child is the protagonist tonight and is very busy. It's not good for you to monopolize him like this. We can talk later... Li junior sister, is this your first time at Three Purities? Try our local specialties and see if they suit your taste..."
Upon hearing this, both women blushed.
Who was monopolizing him?
But it was also not good to refuse, so they followed Xiao Qingyu and took their seats.
Xiao Qingyu was versatile and in this aspect, ten Li Xuanqis and Ji Zidians combined couldn't compare.
Under her guidance, the women quickly started chatting comfortably, and the sound of their laughter filled the air.
Attracted the attention of others.
"Phew..." Wang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xiao Qingyu with grateful eyes.
The other party ignored him and just rolled her eyes without saying a word.
"Big brother, do you feel excited?" Suddenly, a Daoist figure appeared beside Wang Xiu and said unexpectedly.
Wang Xiu turned his head and saw that it was Zhang Yuge, and couldn't help but laugh and curse, "What excitement? Don't talk nonsense!"
Zhang Yuge clicked his tongue and said, "If I were you, I would be torn. Both of them are rare fairies in the world, and both have genuine feelings for you. It's really difficult to choose!"
"Only children make choices, Wang Xiu junior brother... If I were you, I would accept them both!" Huang Yunchong also came over, accompanied by a group of Three Purities geniuses such as Li Zuoyue and Qin Guangling.
"It's easier said than done! It's one thing for others, but Li senior sister is the Shu Mountain Saintess, with such a noble status. How could she be willing to share a husband with someone else?" Li Zuoyue sneered.
"Difficult, difficult, difficult!" Qin Guangling shook his head and swayed.
"What's so difficult? If you really don't know what's good for you, just give up on both of them. You're so immature! I think that woman named Xiao is more suitable for you!" A indifferent voice sounded.
Everyone was surprised and turned their heads to see that the words came from Ye Guhong.
Wang Xiu's mouth twitched slightly, "Brother Ye, please don't make such jokes!"
Ye Guhong said seriously, "I'm not joking! A... a great man is fighting in the front, and the harem needs someone to hold the fort. She is very suitable!"
"Cough cough... let's not discuss these messy things. It's rare to have a chance to gather together, let's drink!" Wang Xiu quickly interrupted him.
This guy really fears nothing, dares to say anything.
If the people from Shu Mountain Grotto-Heaven were to hear this, they would probably fight him to the death.
...
The banquet lasted for three days and three nights.
Goblets and cups were passed around, and everyone was in high spirits.
Wang Xiu was the absolute protagonist of this feast.
People from various Immortal Gates came to toast to him, some testing him, some showing goodwill, and their intentions varied.
It's complicated to explain in detail.
Wang Xiu could handle it, but he couldn't get away for a while.
The moonlight was like water.
On a grassy field, Li Zuoyue, Zhang Yuge, and other young people sat on the ground, enjoying the wine and the cool breeze.
"If we could have such carefree days every day, that would be great!" Zhang Yuge sighed.
"You, the esteemed Dragon Tiger Saint Child, with a respected status, almost supreme, with the power to determine the lives of billions of creatures, aren't you carefree enough?" Li Zuoyue retorted.
"It's not as good as you think. The greater the power, the heavier the burden... I was brought back to Longhu Mountain by my old man as soon as I was born. For more than twenty years, it's been nothing but cultivation. I haven't dared to stop for a moment! You can't understand this feeling..." Zhang Yuge sighed.
Li Zuoyue: "...What are you talking about? There are others who work just as hard as you in cultivation!"
"Because I am the Saint Child, there are too many eyes on me, too many people relying on me! Everyone's expectations are high, and it's only right to be strong. Once I'm not strong enough, it means I haven't worked hard enough! This is the hardship that the Saint Child has to endure, you don't understand..." Beitang Feng also sighed, deeply understanding.
Qingzhou: "It has always been like this!"
Ye Guhong: "The greater the privileges enjoyed, the greater the effort required. It should be like this!"
Beitang Feng: "Well said!"
Li Zuoyue felt the full malice directed at him.
Being surrounded by a group of Saint Children was terrifying!
"Ah, I envy you all. With this level of strength, you can become a Saint Child! If this were in my Three Purities, at most I could only be one of the top ten disciples!" Li Zuoyue sneered, seemingly envious, but his words stung the others.
They all cast resentful glances at him.
Li Zuoyue had already mastered the Heavenly Time Sword Sutra and condensed a seven-colored Nascent Soul. His strength was no less than that of Zhang Yuge and the others.
Zhang Yuge and the others were well aware of this, and they were deliberately teasing him earlier.
Unexpectedly, they were counterattacked.
No matter who among them came to Three Purities Immortal Gate, they would be overshadowed by that figure.
They could only achieve being one of the top ten disciples at best!
Seeing them being defeated, Li Zuoyue was in a great mood. He lay directly on the grass, took out the Soul Dueling Machine, and started playing with it. "But it's still better not to be a Saint Child. It's leisurely... enjoying life!"
"What is this?" This action caught the attention of everyone around.
Zhang Yuge sat up, full of curiosity.
Beitang Feng stared at the Soul Dueling Machine, his intuition telling him that it was a kind of mechanical device, but he couldn't figure it out at all.
Ye Guhong narrowed his eyes and looked serious.
"Aren't you all Saint Children? Haven't you seen this before?" Li Zuoyue raised an eyebrow, sounding a bit confrontational, which annoyed Zhang Yuge and the others.
"Nonsense, how is it possible that we haven't seen it before? It looks familiar to me, but I can't remember it all at once. Let me take a closer look..." Zhang Yuge said seriously.
[Ding!]
[A person nearby is bragging. Congratulations to the host for gaining +140 mana!]
"You wish!" Li Zuoyue deliberately teased him, playing around in front of him. The Soul Dueling Machine's screen displayed battle scenes one after another.
"This is... could it be that there is a real world inside?" Qingzhou exclaimed, widening his eyes.
"It's not a real world..." Ye Guhong, with sharp eyes, was moved. "But the battles in this virtual world seem to be able to benefit him!"
He discovered that as the battles in the screen progressed, the mana in Li Zuoyue's body also circulated, as if he was activating various Dao techniques.
"Could it be that this is the legendary treasure that can refine a cultivator's Divine Ability? I remember that the Tai Xu Holy Tower in the Tai Xu Grotto-Heaven has something similar!" Zhang Yuge whispered, recalling something, and looked at Ye Guhong.
"It's not as effective as the Tai Xu Holy Tower! But..." Ye Guhong didn't finish his sentence, but almost everyone understood what he meant.
The Tai Xu Holy Tower is the supreme treasure of the Tai Xu Grotto-Heaven.
It has reached the level of an Immortal Weapon!
It is rumored to have the ability to control the flow of time. The passage of time inside the tower is completely different from the outside world, making it one of the supreme training grounds for cultivators.
However, activating such an Immortal Weapon is extremely difficult and requires a massive amount of resources.
Even if an entire sect's power is poured into it, it is difficult to sustain for a long time.
On the other hand, Li Zuoyue's Soul Dueling Machine can be carried around and used at any time.
"There are actually such extraordinary treasures in the world?"
The group of them were not ordinary people, their vision was sharp, and they could see the importance of the Soul Dueling Machine at once, their eyes burning with excitement.
"Oh, dead! What are you doing?" Li Zuoyue reluctantly exited the Soul Dueling Machine, displeased.
Just now, Zhang Yuge had patted him, causing his Spirit Partitioning, otherwise he would have had a chance to pass this level!
"Let me try it?" Zhang Yuge rubbed his hands and said.
"No!" Li Zuoyue refused without hesitation.
"It's not for free, give me money!" Zhang Yuge said sincerely.
"Huh, who do you think I am, Li Zuoyue? Do you think you can buy me with money?" Li Zuoyue was tough.
Zhang Yuge didn't say anything, he took out a storage ring and handed it over.
Li Zuoyue weighed it, glanced at it, and sneered, "With just this amount of money, you can play for at most half an hour!"
"Deal!"
Zhang Yuge eagerly took the Soul Dueling Machine and, under Li Zuoyue's guidance, entered it.
They started to challenge the levels!
The rest of them watched from the side.
"Damn! Is this world really fake? It's too real!"
"After successfully passing a level, there are actually rewards for enlightenment? Is this real or fake?"
"..."
Everyone watched in astonishment.
The Soul Dueling Machine's strangeness constantly shocked them.
"Making a big fuss over nothing!" Li Zuoyue rolled his eyes, shook his head in amazement, but felt proud in his heart.
The group of them immediately had dark expressions, knowing that Li Zuoyue was retaliating, feeling embarrassed and annoyed but unable to say anything.
Soon, half an hour passed.
Zhang Yuge passed dozens of levels and was forcibly awakened and interrupted.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Yuge was displeased. He was in the zone.
"The time is up!" Li Zuoyue said.
"Continue, continue!" Zhang Yuge took out another storage ring. As a Dragon-Tiger Saint Child, he was not short of money.
Li Zuoyue didn't say anything, but Beitang Feng, Qingzhou, and the others didn't buy it.
"Just because you have money? Let us try it, it's our turn!"
"That's right!"
"I'll go first..."
"That's enough! What's there to argue about?" Ye Guhong suddenly spoke up, and the group of them immediately fell silent, feeling a lot of pressure.
"I'll go first!" he said, taking the Soul Dueling Machine and directly entering it with his divine soul.
Everyone: "..."
Not long after.
Everyone had tried it and was greatly shocked by the Soul Dueling Machine.
"This is definitely a treasure worthy of its name. It's a pity that only one person can use it, otherwise it would truly be heaven-defying!" Zhang Yuge commented.
"I didn't expect you to have such good luck, actually obtaining such a treasure!"
"The treasure doesn't have eyes..." Qingzhou sighed, feeling indignant. How did this kind of thing end up in Li Zuoyue's hands?
Li Zuoyue, seeing their reactions, sneered, "Look at you guys, so ignorant. This Soul Dueling Machine... almost everyone in our Three Purities Immortal Gate has one!"
"What?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"Is it true? I don't believe it!"
"Don't brag! Do you think we've never seen treasures before? If this thing can be owned by everyone, I'll write my name backwards from today!" Zhang Yuge said.
The group of them were stunned, then shook their heads one after another. This was too absurd. This kind of treasure was extremely precious, and having one already made them very surprised.
Everyone having one?
Are you dreaming?
If that's true, wouldn't Three Purities Immortal Gate be like dragons, unifying the South State one day?
Upon hearing this, Li Zuoyue smirked.
"Don't believe me? Come with me then!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned into a streak of sword light and flew towards the distance.
The others exchanged glances and followed suit.
Li Zuoyue led them to Spirit Turtle Peak, entered the Ghost Immortal Secret Realm, and went straight to the Soul Dueling Internet Cafe.
When they saw that there were people there, each with a Soul Dueling Machine, and groups of disciples challenging each other, Zhang Yuge and the others were dumbfounded.
"It's actually real?"
"There are so many Soul Dueling Machines?"
"Three Purities Immortal Gate has hidden it so well!"
Everyone was shocked. In their minds, the strength of Three Purities Immortal Gate was only a thing of the distant past.
It had long since declined, not only poor but also weak.
If it hadn't been for their tremendous contribution in resisting the Demon Race back then, they would have long been replaced and removed from the ranks of the Grotto-Heaven.
Although there is now a Wang Xiu, with his extraordinary talent and making many geniuses submit to him.
But deep down in their hearts, the current Three Purities Immortal Gate is still weak and cannot compare to the higher-ranked Immortal Gates in terms of glory.
But the Soul Dueling Machines in front of them had a strong impact on their understanding.
This treasure, which can be taken out anytime and anywhere to hone the young disciples' Divine Abilities and combat skills, without the need to pay with their lives, was actually in everyone's hands.
And the consumption is almost negligible.
The meaning behind it doesn't require much thought, it can be felt clearly.
"May I ask, which master created this Soul Dueling Machine?" Suddenly, Ye Guhong spoke, his eyes full of shock, even though they were usually calm.
There are not many things in this world that can surprise him.
This Soul Dueling Machine is one of them!
If the human race had such a treasure back then, the outcome of countless wars might have been rewritten.
This item is too precious!
"It's a coincidence, you also know this person!" Li Zuoyue teased, seeing that they couldn't hold back, and then said, "It's my junior brother, Wang Xiu, the Three Purities Saint Child!"
"Brother Wang?"
"So it's my big brother!"
"It's really him! No wonder... no wonder..."
"..."
Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that Wang Xiu not only surpassed them in talent and Divine Abilities, but also had such amazing achievements in puppetry.
Does he really have no limits?
Practicing so many Divine Abilities doesn't even take up much of his energy, and he can still study other things.
Only Ye Guhong, after the shock, had a look of realization on his face.
If it were him, it wouldn't be surprising no matter how earth-shattering things he did!
Even after so many years.
He still has such amazing talent, able to learn anything and easily reach the peak, making people look up to him!
...
The banquet on Fenglai Peak continued.
But not all the guests necessarily had to drink until the end.
In a certain courtyard.
"This Three Purities Saint Child is indeed extraordinary. I couldn't see through him at all, as if he were an abyss..." The Lord of Lingxu Hall, a prominent figure in Dragon-Tiger Immortal Gate, had made a name for himself on the Almighty List in his early years and entered the Saint Realm hundreds of years ago. He led the team to Three Purities this time to show respect and also to see Wang Xiu's true abilities.
Even though they were allies, they still needed to have a clear understanding of the outstanding geniuses from each Immortal Gate.
Recently, Wang Xiu's reputation has been too prominent.
He completely overshadowed the geniuses of the other Immortal Gates in the South State.
But no one in the major Immortal Gates had a clear understanding of his true abilities.
In fact, many forces that came this time had this idea in mind.
Zhang Yuge sat across from him, not saying a word.
"To become sworn brothers with the Saint Child is not a loss of identity. I believe that within five hundred years, Three Purities will return to its peak under his leadership!"
Such an evaluation was already very high.
Five hundred years is not long in the Immortal Cultivation World, and it is difficult to have any major changes in the overall situation.
The Lord of Lingxu Hall concluded that Wang Xiu would reach unimaginable heights within five hundred years and perhaps overlook the South State.
"Perhaps, it won't even take five hundred years!" Zhang Yuge suddenly spoke up.
"What does the Saint Child mean?" The Lord of Lingxu Hall frowned in confusion.
"Today, I saw something..." Zhang Yuge's eyes flickered as he recounted what he had seen today.
What he saw tonight was unforgettable.
The Lord of Lingxu Hall in front of him listened, his pupils shrinking, and his eyes widening.
As if he had heard something earth-shattering!
The South State...
It's going to change!
