Step by Step Ascend to Immortality - Chapter 114 - 104 Preaching
Chapter 114: Chapter 104 Preaching
Guo Huijun was led to Chonghua Peak by several disciples of the Shenxiao Sect the next day. Although she got up early in the morning and could cross mountains and ridges effortlessly in her spirit armor, by the time she reached Chonghua Peak, the sun was about to set.
When she ascended Chonghua Peak and saw Liu Suiyun, Guo Huijun had a dreamy look on her face. She couldn’t imagine that things had changed so much!
Originally, the best plan for her and Liu Suiyun was that Liu Suiyun would successfully break through numerous obstacles and finally enter the Shenxiao Sect. Guo Huijun had also worried that if Liu Suiyun borrowed her Five Peaks Divine Talisman, would he be judged as violating the rules in the competition? But unexpectedly, things took such a miraculous turn.
Now Liu Suiyun has actually become the personal disciple of Chu Nanhua and Shen Yaqin, two Golden Core great cultivators of the Shenxiao Sect. And along the way, those disciples of the Shenxiao Sect were constantly trying to please her. From their mouths, Guo Huijun already knew that this immortal couple of Chonghua were only one step away from the Nascent Soul realm. Without any accidents, they would definitely break through to the Nascent Soul realm within a hundred years.
Although she had been reminded repeatedly, when she saw Liu Suiyun, Guo Huijun still happily picked up Liu Suiyun in a princess hug, showing everyone her happiness.
Chu Cangshan had already allocated a house for Liu Suiyun. It was not a cold cave. Since Liu Suiyun had not established the foundation, he was allocated a row of bamboo houses on the west side of the main peak of Chonghua Peak. There were not many people on Chonghua Peak and it occupied nearly a hundred miles. Naturally, there were many such idle houses. And Chu Cangshan deliberately picked this place with particularly beautiful scenery to serve as Liu Suiyun’s wedding room.
Whenever a breeze blew through the bamboo sea, the brook, the golden swimming fish, and the winding paths and pavilions by the brook formed the most beautiful dreamy bamboo house. Guo Huijun unconsciously indulged in happiness. That night, she took the initiative and took off her spirit armor first and pushed Liu Suiyun onto the bed, almost squeezing Liu Suiyun dry.
Perhaps realizing that separation was imminent, Guo Huijun demanded a lot these days. And Liu Suiyun also understood her feelings. No matter how late he came back every night, he would feed her and the Five Peaks Divine Talisman until they were full, and then go out in the starlight.
But today they can finally sit here and watch the sunrise on Chonghua Peak. Watching the magnificent rising sun shed billions of golden lights, Guo Huijun stretched out her hand towards the distant sea of clouds. “It’s really like a dream. If someone had told me three months ago that my husband is you, I would definitely not believe it. But now we have been together as if for many years!”
“We will still be together for many, many years until forever!” Liu Suiyun was not as emotional as Guo Huijun. “Now Chonghua Peak is very good. If you were always by my side, it would be even better!”
“Even if I were willing to stay, your master’s wife wouldn’t let me stay!” Guo Huijun cunningly avoided the key issue. “And I still have my own responsibilities!”
She blew gently at the distant white clouds. “I promise that even if we are not together, I will try my best to wait for you!”
“Um!” Liu Suiyun interlocked his fingers with Guo Huijun and made a promise towards the sea of clouds. “Wait for me forever!”
“Don’t say such mushy things!” Guo Huijun was a little shy. “Oh, oh, we should go and listen to Master’s wife’s lecture. Today is the first time you listen to Master’s wife’s lecture. We can’t be late!”
The reason why Liu Suiyun can spare time to watch the sunrise with Guo Huijun today is that this morning Shen Yaqin will give a lecture in her Yaxin Pavilion. This is not only the first time Liu Suiyun can listen to Master’s wife’s lecture, but Liu Suiyun also heard from Chu Cangshan that today he probably has the opportunity to ask Master’s wife about the difficulties he encounters in his cultivation. This can be regarded as a special benefit.
“Good!” Liu Suiyun took hold of Guo Huijun. “Let’s go together. I remember you haven’t met our master’s wife yet!”
“Good!”
Guo Huijun nodded. She had long wanted to meet this master’s wife who was so miraculous in Liu Suiyun’s mouth. Liu Suiyun described Shen Yaqin as superb and omnipotent. Although she knew that the higher one went, the narrower the path for warriors became, and there were far fewer high-level warriors compared to high-level cultivators.
But this was the first time she was so close to a Golden Core great cultivator. After hearing about this Shen master’s wife’s astonishing means, she understood why there were so many fewer high-level warriors. It was really because the means of high-level warriors were too astonishing.
Although Liu Suiyun and Guo Huijun had watched the sunrise once, when they came to Yaxin Pavilion, there were not many people, and there were even fewer familiar faces. Only Senior Brother Guan Mingyue smiled and said to them, “Junior Brother, and Miss Guo are here? Sit down! Master’s wife won’t come for a while.”
In Liu Suiyun’s impression, Guan Mingyue has always been extremely fond of wine and can’t be separated from wine jars at any time. But now Guan Mingyue is wearing clean clothes and even the clothes have a faint fragrance. He has tidied himself up and become a resolute man without lacking tenderness. This makes Liu Suiyun a little unaccustomed.
His own master’s wife has scolded this senior brother. If he didn’t soak in wine jars all day, he would have formed a Golden Core long ago. And today’s image seems a bit different from the usual senior brother. Guan Mingyue could see his confusion and said with a smile, “Junior Brother is wondering why senior brother has changed into this set of clothes. That’s because today is Master’s wife’s lecture, which is very different from usual!”
His voice was resolute. “Although we cultivators have hundreds of sects and thousands of factions, men and women, monks and Taoists, good and evil, right and wrong, and so on, no matter who it is, they all have the aspiration to pursue the Dao, hoping to achieve the supreme Dao, directly pointing to the Golden Immortal, having eternal life, riding the wind and controlling the sword. And what Master’s wife is talking about today is the real path to immortality. How can I not first straighten my clothes and come to Yaxin Pavilion to review and learn something new…”
Liu Suiyun understood a lot. He immediately saluted Guan Mingyue. “Thank you, Senior Brother, for your guidance. This junior brother understands!”
As they were talking, many cultivators came. Most of them were cultivators from Chonghua Peak itself, and there were also some cultivators from other peaks that Liu Suiyun didn’t know. Presumably, they had obtained Shen Yaqin’s prior permission. As for cultivation levels, at least they were not much different from Liu Suiyun and were also cultivators at the later stage of Qi Condensation.
There were also many Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators. Liu Suiyun soon saw Elder Yunpeng. His mood was obviously very good and he had a proud look on his face. It should be that Master’s wife had made some progress in deducing the “Extreme Yuan Huang Lei Forging Divine Record” for him in the past few days, which made this half-master of his so delighted.
Elder Zongyun also appeared among the crowd listening to the lecture. He had originally planned to leave Chonghua Peak immediately to raise the trump card that would satisfy the three disciples and Master’s wife of Chonghua Peak. But at the last moment, he changed his mind and shamelessly stayed on Chonghua Peak. Almost a ten-day period has passed, and he is still staying on Chonghua Peak and even squeezing in to listen to Master’s wife’s lecture.
Liu Suiyun just smiled faintly and sat with Guo Huijun. The two chatted a few words when they heard Senior Brother Chen Xingrui rarely walk in very seriously. “Be quiet. Master’s wife is coming. Master’s wife is coming!”
After saying that, Chen Xingrui also quickly found a seat and sat down. The whole place became quiet. Everyone sat neatly below, even Golden Core cultivators were no exception. After a while, Shen Yaqin had already come in wearing a golden brocade dress, with the Fensijing Sword at her waist and phoenix-patterned shoes on her feet. She was dignified and solemn, still with the celestial beauty of a true immortal.
Although Guo Huijun had imagined Master’s wife’s celestial beauty countless times, when she really saw Shen Yaqin, she realized what true celestial beauty was. Unconsciously, she clamped her legs and bowed her head very respectfully.
Even she was like this. Liu Suiyun was even more so. He was like a mouse seeing a cat. He sat motionless below. Now Shen Yaqin had already sat on the platform. She said casually, “Now let’s start the lecture…”
The cultivators below all bowed their heads. They didn’t even care if a mosquito bit them. They only knew to remember every word Shen Yaqin said. Liu Suiyun was no exception. He was afraid of missing this great opportunity.
In fact, Shen Yaqin’s lecture was not as flowery as many cultivators. She didn’t make the people below nod continuously and cheer loudly. She didn’t make it lively and interesting. She didn’t make it easy to understand. In terms of lecturing, she seemed to have no talent at all. She just read it word by word according to the book. None of the cultivators below could really understand it.
If a different cultivator gave a lecture on top, the people below would definitely be in an uproar. Shen Yaqin’s lecture was really too difficult to understand. This was not something people at their level could understand.
Like Liu Suiyun knew the pronunciation of every word. As for those words Shen Yaqin said, he had heard five or six out of ten. As for the meaning of the whole sentence, he almost couldn’t understand it. As for what Shen Yaqin was talking about in this paragraph, he still didn’t understand after listening. As for what Shen Yaqin was talking about today, Liu Suiyun could only scratch his head.
But Liu Suiyun still listened extremely attentively to every sentence and every word Shen Yaqin said, afraid of missing a single word. Because he knew that what Shen Yaqin said today was the essence of the essence. It didn’t matter if he didn’t understand it today. As long as he had the aspiration to pursue the Dao, if he remembered more of this lecture today, he would surely gain a hundredfold on the path of the Dao in the future.
Even Guo Huijun, who knew limited about cultivating immortality, was also extremely attentive. It was really because she couldn’t understand what Shen Yaqin said at all, so she was so attentive. If she learned more today, maybe she could turn the tide when dealing with cultivators in the future.
Even a Golden Core cultivator like Elder Zongyun couldn’t understand. Only now did Elder Zongyun know that there was such a big gap between the late stage of Golden Core and the early stage of Golden Core, and between sect cultivators and loose cultivators. He was completely lost in Shen Yaqin’s lecture.
Sometimes he didn’t know how Shen Yaqin deduced the result. Sometimes Shen Yaqin only said the deduction method but didn’t say the final result of the deduction. Sometimes Shen Yaqin talked a little about all aspects but didn’t make it clear. More often, Elder Zongyun didn’t understand what Shen Yaqin wanted to talk about at all. Or he knew what Shen Yaqin wanted to talk about but didn’t know exactly what Shen Yaqin was talking about.
Elder Zongyun was usually quite proud of his cultivation at the early stage of Golden Core. But after listening to this lecture, his confidence was shattered by more than half. It was not easy for him to remember. “What was talked about today? Why can’t I remember anything!”
A solemn lecture came to an end like this. Shen Yaqin looked at Liu Suiyun on top and specifically mentioned the name of Guo Huijun beside him. “You are Guo Huijun, right? What do you think of this lecture I gave today?”
