Mysterious mirror hanging high

Ye Jinyuan was right.

Among the three disciples under Jing Yu's tutelage, Guan Lingxiao is undoubtedly the best in the world in terms of both swordsmanship and immortality.

If he hadn't been so relentless in his pursuit of excellence back then, and instead had calmed down and polished his cultivation for a hundred or two hundred years, Guan Lingxiao would have not only achieved a golden and purple elixir, but he would even have had a chance of achieving a flawless golden elixir.

Even Wenren Nuo, the registered disciple secretly accepted by Jing Yu, had also achieved golden and purple elixir that year.

Although Jing Yu still didn't understand what method Xiao Guanying or Xiao Shihua used to allow Wen Rennuo, a boy with ordinary talent, to achieve the Purple Qi Golden Elixir.

But I think it must have cost a lot of money.

But it must be said that even if Xiao Guanying or Xiao Shihua accounted for seven points of the credit for Wenren Nuo's elixir turning into gold and purple, Wenren Nuo himself definitely had three points of spirituality, which was his own destiny.

From this perspective, Ye Jinyuan, who possesses top-level resources and is striving for the Jindan stage with an ultimate foundation, seems to be becoming increasingly mediocre.

Jing Yu shook his head, throwing away the unrealistic thoughts. It was unrealistic to expect every disciple to achieve the same level of accomplishment as his eldest disciple Guan Lingxiao. He said gently:

"Jin Yuan, ever since Yun Ji retired, you have been extremely competent as the acting headmaster for the past few decades, and have managed this sect to great success."

"Although your realm is low, whether it's the Jindan True Instructor or the Yuanying Elder... they all respect you."

"Now that you have formed a golden elixir, and it is of the highest quality, you have finally completed the realm of cultivation, and it can be said that it is legitimate."

"From today on, the word 'Dai' will be removed from the three characters 'Acting Master'."

"You are the second master of [Xuanjing Immortal Sect]!"

Ye Jinyuan's expression froze, and he quickly bowed and said, "Master, I am deeply grateful for your appreciation. I have no way to repay you, but to devote myself to your service!"

"Well, it's nothing more than asking you to take care of the sect's miscellaneous affairs."

Jing Yu nodded and smiled, "Your Dan-forming stage is quite a coincidence. I have something to do right now. Why don't you come with me?"

Ye Jinyuan was startled: "What's the matter?"

Jing Yu blinked and said, "Follow me to the feast."

After saying that, he grabbed Ye Jinyuan's shoulders, instantly disappeared into the void, and disappeared on the top of Fugui Mountain.

----

When Ye Jinyuan opened his eyes, the world had changed and they had actually arrived near an island that looked like a dragon's body.

"Dragon-Slaying Island? Is this the Ye family?" Ye Jinyuan said in surprise.

Although Ye Jinyuan spent most of his time in seclusion on Fugui Island in recent years to practice and manage the sect, he was born into the Ye family of Zhanlong Island after all, so he naturally did not lose contact with his family and often walked around. Naturally, he recognized this place as the Ye family.

Jing Yu led Ye Jinyuan through the Ye family's formation and soon arrived at the Ye family's territory. However, he saw that every household in the family's territory had hung white silk, and the Ye family members walking around all had sad expressions on their faces.

Ye Jinyuan was shocked: "Someone has passed away... Such a big scene, could it be?"

As he expected, Jing Yu led him to the deepest part of the Ye family's land and into a small courtyard where a simple mourning hall was set up.

Ye Xingyun, dressed in a white robe, was sitting in the mourning hall, looking somewhat bored. When he saw Jing Yu, his eyes lit up, and he quickly stood up happily and waved at him:

"Xuan Jing, you're here!"

Jing Yu laughed and said, "Master Jiang Huai has passed away. How could I miss such a great event?"

It turned out that this mourning hall was actually arranged for Ye Xingyun’s grandfather [Ye Jianghuai]. This great master who was famous in the East China Sea died of old age.

But Ye Xingyun's face showed no trace of grief at this moment. Instead, he smiled and said, "Yes, yes... Grandpa has passed away at a ripe old age. He lived a full two thousand years. This is naturally a happy funeral. We should all celebrate together and have a good feast."

Jing Yu shook his head and laughed, "Fu Lu, that's a bit too much... Losing a Great True Lord in your family is a huge event for any immortal clan. How can you be so happy? It won't be good for your reputation if it gets out."

Seeing that there were no outsiders here, he asked again, "Senior Jiang Huai, have you succeeded?"

Ye Xingyun's smile widened: "Look at me now, how could I fail?"

Jing Yu nodded. "Congratulations to Senior Jiang Huai! He truly understood the truth. From now on, you will enjoy five thousand years of carefree bliss!"

Ye Jinyuan finally understood and was secretly shocked. "So, the ancestor actually broke through to the Divine Transformation Realm without making any noise? No, that's not right... When a cultivator breaks through to the Divine Transformation Realm, there will be a huge phenomenon that shakes the world, but there is no movement in the present world. It seems that the ancestor achieved a pseudo-Divine Transformation in some large cave heaven?"

Sure enough, Ye Xingyun was heard sighing afterwards: "Grandpa's transformation into a god was truly dangerous. Even though the [Great Five Elements Cave Heaven] is naturally conducive to cultivators refining the Five Elements Laws into their acupoints, this process is still a life-or-death struggle."

"Although the [Five Elements Law] in this cave is a [fake law], it is easier to refine than the authentic Five Elements Law. Even so, I almost failed."

"If Grandpa were to become a god in the present world, he would be dead for sure."

Jing Yu nodded. "The difficulty of achieving the Divine Transformation stage is something that countless cultivators in the Immortal Continent have proven, and there's no need for anyone to question it... Otherwise, why would even the Divine Transformation lineage have its own peaks when cultivators can't continue their progress?"

"Senior Jiang Huai's ability to become a [Pseudo-God] is already a blessing from you."

Ye Xingyun restrained his smile: "Now that Grandpa is faking his death and hiding in the cave, it can be regarded as a trump card for us. When I or Big Sister become a god, it may have miraculous effects."

Jing Yu's expression grew serious upon hearing this: "How are the preparations going, Fellow Daoist Lu?"

Ye Xingyun said solemnly, "It's almost done... Now it all depends on how Sanniang negotiates with the Penglai righteous sect. Can they send out a few Divine Transformation cultivators to help us contain the Heavenly Court?"

While the two were talking, two more people came outside the mourning hall. Jing Yu turned around and saw that they were two acquaintances.

One of them had a slightly darker complexion and was holding a stone sword. It was Song Qingya, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Behind Song Qingya, there was a young female ghost in a silk dress, holding a red leopard in her left hand and carrying a flower basket on her right arm.

At this moment, a small Nascent Soul statue was sitting on the shoulder of this female ghost.

The face of this Nascent Soul Dharma Image was empty, with nothing but a mouth.

But this faceless Yuanying with a mouth, upon seeing Jing Yu, excitedly jumped off the ghost girl's shoulder and flew in front of Jing Yu:

"Xuan Jing! Long time no see!"

Jing Yu smiled and said, "Jinghong, I haven't congratulated you on achieving the Nascent Soul stage yet!"

This Nascent Soul Dharma Image is actually Song Jinghong who achieved the Nascent Soul not long ago!

The current [Jinghong Zhenjun] is extremely lucky. Although he only formed a fake infant with the help of Song Qingya, after using the [Scented Golden Lotus Seeds] given by Jing Yu, he was lucky enough to open another orifice and became [Yiqiao Zhenjun]. Since then, he has had a lifespan of two thousand years.

After a cultivator reaches the Nascent Soul stage, the Nascent Soul's Dharma image can still leave the body at will and exist independently from the physical body. However, since Song Jinghong formed the Nascent Soul, he has completely appeared in the Dharma image state. It is said that no one has ever seen Song Jinghong's physical body again.
