Chapter 152 Fairy Biyou

The Immortal Fate Gathering came to an end. On the Tianmang Palace, the true immortals and celestial gods began to depart one after another. Yuntian and Yu Wei also left in the company of Lü Dongbin.

Whipping up a cloud of mist, Lü Dongbin brought his two newly accepted disciples up to the high heavens, above the ninefold azure void of the Great Xia World's capital. With a casual wave of his hand, he effortlessly tore open space, taking Yuntian and Yu Wei away from the Great Xia World. Afterwards, Lü Dongbin did not travel through the chaotic void immediately; instead, with another wave of his hand, a spatial vortex channel appeared in the chaotic void ahead. Calling out to Yuntian and Yu Wei, the master and his two disciples flew into the spatial vortex and vanished.

The next instant, high above a vast and boundless major world, space distorted to reveal a vortex channel. Immediately following that, Lü Dongbin, Yuntian, and Yu Wei flew out from within it.

"This is the Eastern Flow Major World, a major world that I governed back in my past life when I was the Eastern Flow Emperor. There are no unified dynasties or powers in this realm, but there is no shortage of other tribes, sects, and religious factions. There are quite a few celestial immortals here as well, and even celestial gods and true immortals exist. However, they all hold my Eastern Flow Emperor's Estate in supreme reverence; they can be considered forces under my command," Lü Dongbin introduced.

As he spoke, Lü Dongbin directly employed the Great Teleportation, bringing Yuntian and Yu Wei across millions of miles to another expanse of the void. He pointed into the distance at a colossal, towering mountain range that seemed to pierce the clouds: "That is Eastern Flow Mountain. My Eastern Flow Emperor's Estate is located upon that mountain."

Flying close to Eastern Flow Mountain in the company of Lü Dongbin, Yuntian and Yu Wei clearly saw the Eastern Flow Emperor's Estate halfway up the mountain from above the clouds, featuring rows upon rows of contiguous celestial palaces. It was truly magnificent and boundless, fully displaying the refined style of the immortals.

"There are not many living beings in this Eastern Flow Emperor's Estate, but there are certainly quite a few powerhouses!" Relying on his acute perception of space, Yuntian could faintly sense the profound and hidden fluctuations of auras concealed within the Eastern Flow Emperor's Estate.

Lü Dongbin led Yuntian and Yu Wei, plunging straight down from the clouds above and landing in front of a towering grand hall of the Eastern Flow Emperor's Estate. Although the Emperor's Estate was guarded by a complex and formidable grand formation, with Lü Dongbin leading the way, they naturally did not encounter the slightest obstruction.

"Emperor!" On both sides of the grand hall's doors, two young Daoists clad in cyan Daoist robes stood guard. Upon seeing Lü Dongbin, they hurriedly bowed in salute.

"Two Primordial Spirit Daoists, acting as door guards?" Yuntian cast a slightly surprised glance at the pair before obediently following Lü Dongbin into the grand hall along with Yu Wei.

Inside the spacious grand hall, there were numerous meditation mats, with a majestic throne situated at the very front. Lü Dongbin did not ascend to sit upon it; instead, he walked over to a meditation mat near the front, turned around, and sat cross-legged. With a gentle wave of his hand, he motioned for Yuntian and Yu Wei to take their seats on the meditation mats on either side below.

Just as Yuntian and Yu Wei sat down, a soft and melodious voice echoed from outside: "Master!"

Subconsciously glancing outward, Yuntian saw a tall, gentle, and breathtakingly beautiful woman clad in a jade-green silk dress hurriedly walking in from the outside. With a pleasant surprise and excitement, she stepped forward and respectfully bowed to Lü Dongbin: "This disciple pays respects to Master! Master, you have finally deigned to return for a visit."

"Ahem..." Lü Dongbin coughed lightly with a somewhat awkward and sheepish expression, then said to Yuntian and Yu Wei: "This is your Senior Sister Biyou. She is a disciple I took back when I was still the Eastern Flow Emperor in my past life. Biyou has been cultivating by my side since primeval times. Although she has yet to become a true immortal, her strength is absolutely top-tier among celestial immortals, rivaling even ordinary true immortals."

"Master, who are they?" Fairy Biyou could not help but cast a slightly surprised and astonished look toward Yuntian and Yu Wei, then asked in succession.

Lü Dongbin smiled calmly: "I previously made a trip to the Great Xia World to attend the Great Xia World's Immortal Fate Gathering. These two—Yuntian secured first place in this Immortal Fate Gathering of the Great Xia World, and Yu Wei also performed quite well. Therefore, I took them both as my disciples."

"Master has taken disciples again? And two at once?" Biyou felt somewhat helpless upon hearing this. Ever since her master was reincarnated as Lü Dongbin, his temperament had become vastly different from the Eastern Flow Emperor of the past. Aside from enjoying playing matchmaker, his greatest passion was taking on disciples. He had accumulated a huge stack of disciples; though quite a few had become celestial immortals, even more failed to do so, eventually becoming loose immortals who perished amidst the increasingly fierce Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations.

Hearing that Yuntian was actually the champion of the Great Xia World's Immortal Fate Gathering, Biyou could not help but glance at him a few more times, though she did not care much in her heart. What of being the champion of an Immortal Fate Gathering? If one could not become a celestial immortal, it ultimately amounted to nothing.

"Yuntian greets Senior Sister Biyou!" Yuntian stood up and smiled as he bowed slightly toward Biyou. Seeing this, Yu Wei beside him also hastily stood up to pay her respects.

"Spare the formalities!" Fairy Biyou said casually with a wave of her hand, her tone somewhat perfunctory. Among Lü Dongbin's numerous disciples, only those who had successfully crossed their tribulations to become celestial immortals could command a modicum of regard from her, the eldest senior sister. Even those celestial immortal disciples of Lü Dongbin behaved obediently and politely before Fairy Biyou. There was no helping it; who asked Fairy Biyou to have entered the sect early with profound seniority, while also being deeply favored by Lü Dongbin with countless treasures and formidable strength to boot?

Lü Dongbin then instructed Fairy Biyou: "Biyou, take your Junior Brother Yuntian and Junior Sister Yu Wei down and arrange their living quarters. Afterward, take them to the Dao Treasury Hall so they can select some techniques, divine abilities, and secret arts to cultivate."

"Understood, Master!" Respectfully acknowledging the command, Fairy Biyou glanced at Yuntian and Yu Wei, turned around, and walked toward the exit, saying, "Follow me!"

Yuntian and Yu Wei also bowed to Lü Dongbin in farewell, then followed Fairy Biyou out of the grand hall.

"Senior Sister Biyou, just how many disciples does Master have under his tutelage?" As soon as they stepped out of the grand hall and walked a short distance, Yuntian could not help but curiously ask with a smile.

Casting a sideways glance back at Yuntian, Fairy Biyou replied casually: "Master has taken on countless disciples, leaving behind inheritances in many major and minor worlds. Just how many disciples there are is something even I cannot clearly say. However, as for those still alive today, there are several dozen celestial immortals!"

"Several dozen celestial immortals?" Yuntian was slightly startled upon hearing this. Even the celestial immortal princes of the Great Xia imperial clan probably did not have this many, could they?

Seeing the surprised expressions of the two, Fairy Biyou could not help but say: "What? Surprised? Master is universally acknowledged throughout the Three Realms as the foremost figure among celestial gods and true immortals. From primeval times until now, he has accepted so many disciples; what is so strange about cultivating several dozen celestial immortals?"

"Senior Sister Biyou, I heard that Master even cultivated a true immortal! Is that true?" Yuntian raised an eyebrow and asked hurriedly.

Fairy Biyou nodded slightly and said, "That is correct! Within the Three Realms, ordinary celestial gods and true immortals are generally disciples of mighty figures. Among the disciples of those celestial gods and true immortals, basically the highest achievement is merely being a celestial immortal. Cultivating a disciple to the realm of a celestial god or true immortal is practically unheard of. Yet under Master's tutelage, there is indeed a true immortal, and he is Junior Brother Yunliu. Within the Three Realms, the reputation of True Immortal Yunliu is quite formidable. Furthermore, Junior Brother Yunliu is also a sword immortal, and in terms of strength, he is not weak even among celestial gods and true immortals."

"Not weak? That means he cannot be considered supremely strong, then! It seems this Senior Brother Yunliu is merely a true immortal with decent strength," Yuntian guessed inwardly with a silent scoff.

Fairy Biyou glanced at Yuntian and continued, "Do not aim too high and fall short. For the two of you, being able to successfully cross your tribulations and become celestial immortals in the future will already be quite good."

"Senior Sister, do not look down on people. In the future, I intend to become a celestial god or true immortal, and perhaps even a True God Dao Ancestor," Yuntian could not help but retort.

Hearing these words from Yuntian, Fairy Biyou furrowed her delicate brows slightly and scoffed, "You certainly dare to think big! Junior Brother Yuntian, cultivation is achieved through hard work, not daydreams. Rather than pondering such useless things, you would be far more realistic to keep your feet on the ground and cultivate properly."

"Very well, ahead is the Dao Treasury Hall," Fairy Biyou said as she looked at the ancient and massive palace architecture ahead, adding hastily, "Both of you go inside and select some techniques, divine abilities, and secret arts to cultivate. Remember, greed for too much will chew through your ability to digest it; having enough to suffice is what matters. There is no need to select too many."

Exchanging a glance, Yuntian and Yu Wei stepped forward together, pushed open the doors of the Dao Treasury Hall, and walked inside.
