Daoist ‍​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍Xuanchen was the first to bow, his voice trembling with excitement.

Gu ‍​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍Yan stepped forward to support him and said seriously, “I am giving this cultivation method to the sect in the hope that it will help the Taiyi Dao Sect establish the foundation of the immortal path.”

“But ‍​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍the Dao must not be transmitted lightly, nor can it be passed to those with improper intentions.”

“Sect ‍​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍Master, you must be extremely cautious.”

Daoist ‍​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍Xuanchen responded solemnly, “True Lord, rest assured!”

“I will certainly establish strict rules. At the initial stage, only the Qi Refining chapter will be taught. After disciples enter the path, their character and temperament will be examined before further methods are granted as appropriate. I would never dare to fail the True Lord’s gift.”

Gu Yan nodded. “Very good. As for the specific details, Sect Master and the elders may discuss and implement them.”

After asking a few more respectful questions about cultivation details, the group finally withdrew, carrying with them excitement and reverence that were hard to suppress.

They were eager to digest this heaven-defying immortal opportunity and plan the sect’s future.

Inside the Longevity Residence, only Gu Yan and Lin Wei remained.

Lin Wei gazed at him, emotion rippling in her eyes as she said,

“Junior Brother… what you have done truly benefits the sect. It is a kindness equal to giving it new life.”

Gu Yan smiled. “Senior Sister, you exaggerate.”

“In the past, there was no suitable cultivation method. Now that there is one, it is only natural to share it with all of you.”

“You have a solid martial foundation. Switching to this method should yield twice the result with half the effort. You must cultivate diligently.”

Lin Wei nodded heavily. “Naturally.”

“The path of martial dao has already grown dim. This method opens an entirely new world.”

“I will cultivate with all my strength. In the future… only then can I accompany you for a long time, seeking longevity together.”

Gu Yan gave a slight nod.

This was also another reason why he had brought out an immortal cultivation method.

The martial dao inheritance in this world was incomplete. At least within the Great Qian and surrounding regions, techniques of the Eighth and Ninth Revolution were nearly nonexistent.

And he had no interest in searching the entire world like looking for a needle in the ocean.

As for whether he worried that someone might surpass him in the future through this scripture?

Gu Yan felt no concern at all.

Not to mention that he possessed a system—purely in terms of techniques, the Primordial Unity One Qi Dao Scripture’s upper limit was the Transformation Spirit realm.

Meanwhile, the Grand Five Elements Reincarnation Scripture he cultivated pointed directly to the Human Immortal realm.

By the time someone in the sect reached Nascent Soul, he would likely already be at the Integration stage or even crossing tribulation.

If he refused to help those around him out of fear of being surpassed by later generations,

then as a transmigrator, he would be living far too stifled a life.

After sending off Lin Wei, who was full of anticipation, Gu Yan stood alone before the Longevity Residence, overlooking the sea of clouds and mountains and the sect’s many peaks. His heart felt open and unrestrained.

The scene perfectly matched the saying: “Plant peach and plum trees across immortal mountains—one day, all shall become towering talents.”

In the blink of an eye, another year passed.

【Gu Yan】

【Lifespan: 222/2600】

【Realm: Nascent Soul · First Layer】

【Entries: 《Fortune-Blessed Immortal Lord · Red》, 《Five Elements Spiritual Body · Orange》, 《Life Is Like a Dream · Purple》】

【Cultivation Technique: 《Grand Five Elements Reincarnation Scripture》…】

【Spells: 《Five Elements Escape Technique》, 《Five Elements Protective Charm》, 《Little Five Elements Annihilation Divine Light》, 《Little Five Elements Yin-Yang Primordial Magnetic Divine Light》…】

【Magic Treasures: 《Sumeru Star Ring · High Grade》, 《Lihuo Heaven-Burning Cauldron · Supreme Grade》…】

Looking at the panel before him, Gu Yan felt quite satisfied.

Although his realm still remained at Nascent Soul First Layer, over the past year,

he had finally successfully begun cultivating a new spell recorded in the Nascent Soul chapter of the Grand Five Elements Reincarnation Scripture—the Little Five Elements Yin-Yang Primordial Magnetic Divine Light.

This technique differed from the purely offensive Little Five Elements Annihilation Divine Light.

Instead, it required the use of Five Elements spiritual power to evolve the force of yin-yang primordial magnetism.

Once unleashed, when the divine light swept past, it could not only erode the spiritual radiance of magic treasures and disrupt the enemy’s spiritual power, but also influence the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth and even the magnetic field of the earth’s veins.

It could be said to be a grand technique combining offense, defense, and control.

Then, with a slight movement of his thoughts,

calculating the time, it had been about a year since the last activation of the Fortune-Blessed Immortal Lord entry.

Sure enough, in the next moment—

【The effect of the entry 《Fortune-Blessed Immortal Lord · Red》 has been triggered. You have obtained the supreme-grade offensive magic treasure 《Nine Heavens Thunder Pattern Evil-Slaying Sword》】

【《Nine Heavens Thunder Pattern Evil-Slaying Sword》: Forged by a great lightning cultivation sect of the Spirit Realm using Thunder Pattern Purple Gold, refined with the supreme yang evil-destroying divine lightning.

The sword naturally generates thunder patterns, has extremely strong restraining effects against yin evils, ghosts, and demonic corruption, and can also draw upon the Nine Heavens divine lightning to amplify its power. Its might is vast.】

Gu Yan’s eyes lit up.

“Finally, it’s not spiritual plant seeds!”

This was the fourth magic treasure obtained from the Fortune-Blessed Immortal Lord entry.

And the second one to reach the supreme grade.

With a thought, a longsword about three feet in length, radiating a deep purple-gold brilliance, appeared in his hand.

The moment the sword appeared, it naturally stirred the surrounding spiritual energy.

Above Longevity Peak, winds surged and clouds gathered, with faint rumbling thunder echoing.

Such a disturbance immediately drew attention throughout the sect.

In the Evergreen Market, disciples looked up one after another.

Across the various peaks, people stepped out from halls and pavilions.

“It’s Longevity Peak…”

“Probably Elder Longevity practicing divine abilities again?”

The initial commotion quickly subsided.

Some of the higher-ranking direct disciples had already begun cultivating the Primordial Unity One Qi Dao Scripture under their masters.

They had some understanding of the changes in spiritual energy caused by cultivation.

Exchanging knowing glances, they said no more and returned to their own matters.

Inside the Longevity Residence, Gu Yan sensed the subtle movements outside and the eager resonance of the sword in his hand, and could not help but laugh.

“It’s quite ostentatious.”

With that, he restrained his spiritual power, temporarily sealing the sword’s aura. Only then did the wind and thunder phenomena outside gradually dissipate.

He sat cross-legged and began refining this newly obtained supreme-grade sword.

Time passed swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, another three years went by.

On this day, as Gu Yan was quietly cultivating within the residence, he suddenly sensed a familiar aura approaching.

The visitor was Lin Wei.

Her figure appeared before the Longevity Residence, accompanied by a young girl of about fifteen, with twin buns in her hair and bright, round eyes.

“Junior Brother!”

“I’ve succeeded!”

Lin Wei’s face carried a bright smile.

Though her aura was not strong, it had shed the previous surging vitality of martial cultivation and gained a more ethereal quality.

Gu Yan rose to greet her with a smile. “Congratulations, Senior Sister, on officially stepping onto the immortal path.”

His gaze then fell upon the young girl. “And this is?”

Lin Wei gently brought the somewhat shy girl forward.

“This is my newly accepted disciple, Hu Tao.”

“Tao’er, quickly greet your Martial Uncle.”

“D-Disciple Hu Tao greets Martial Uncle!” The girl’s voice was clear and crisp, like pearls falling onto jade.

Though young, she already possessed a late-stage Second Revolution martial foundation.

Her aptitude and temperament were both quite good.

Seeing that the girl was delicate and lovely, with clear eyes, Gu Yan felt a bit of fondness and smiled. “No need for excessive courtesy.”

“As this is our first meeting, these bottles of Nourishing Qi Pills and Clear Mind Pills will be of help in calming the mind and nurturing the meridians. Take them as a gift.”

Hu Tao’s big eyes immediately lit up. Though she did not fully understand the grade of the pills, their rich fragrance already made it clear they were extraordinary.

She quickly accepted them with both hands and said sweetly, “Thank you, Martial Uncle!”

Lin Wei smiled and said to Hu Tao, “Tao’er, return to Pill Glow Peak on your own and properly digest what you’ve gained today. Do not slack off.”

“Yes, Master! This disciple takes her leave!” Hu Tao responded respectfully. She sneaked another glance at Gu Yan before leaving with the joy of having received treasures.

After sending off her little disciple, Lin Wei turned to Gu Yan.

The two sat facing each other as Lin Wei softly spoke of the obstacles she had encountered in her immortal cultivation.

Gu Yan listened patiently, occasionally offering guidance and insights.

The conversation soon extended beyond cultivation.

They spoke of the sect’s changes over the years, reminisced about past trivial matters, and also discussed some of their understandings of the long Dao path ahead.

Until the sky outside gradually darkened.

The two began to explore more direct philosophies of life…
