I am a living immortal.

Fanyun Mountain and Fuyun Temple.

Sixteen years had passed since the Grandmaster's departure. Over these years, Fanyun Mountain had become increasingly deserted, but the newly built temple at the foot of the mountain was far more bustling than the former Floating Cloud Temple. Meanwhile, Fanyun Mountain hadn't added any new disciples in all those years; there were only those thirteen.

With a disengaged master and a grandmaster who ran away, the entire Floating Cloud Temple was left to the care of the eldest and second senior brothers. It was truly absurd. However, after so many years, the Yan Dynasty's sects and city gods had no idea such a new immortal sect had emerged. Well, one good thing about Floating Cloud Temple was that they had heeded Su Mu's words before leaving—they wouldn't leave until they had the strength to protect themselves.

So during the past ten years, everyone has been honing their own strength so that they can get out faster.

The pilgrims at the foot of the mountain were unaware that there were thirteen immortals within the unknown Cloud Mountain. Once upon a time, Fanyun Mountain was shrouded in a thick fog, leaving many unable to find the way up. It was then forgotten and became a dangerous mountain range.

Only some old people still vaguely remember it.

However, this memory was just a memory. They were more willing to go to the lower mountain, after all, it was easier. There were also physical reasons and time constraints. Various factors intertwined to make them forget Fanyun Mountain.

There is also the mountain protection formation that Su Mu gave when he left. The giant tree covered with stardust has been standing on Fanyun Mountain to avoid unnecessary prying eyes.

And everyone in Floating Cloud Temple also abided by the rules set by Su Mu.

But this rule was broken just a few decades ago.

First, it was Ruan Chengji. As the most reliable eldest brother, he did not disappoint everyone. In just over a decade, he reached the minimum standard to be able to leave the mountain.

Just like usual, he spoke out during a meal and conversation with his fellow disciples at such an inopportune moment. The world fell on their brothers and sisters immediately, and they didn't even finish their meal. Everyone felt that without their eldest brother, Floating Cloud Temple was doomed, including their unreliable master.

When Ruan Chengji left, he didn't take a single brick or tile of Floating Cloud Temple with him. For the next few days, the entire sect was in a gloomy mood.

They waited anxiously for good news to ease the trauma caused by the departure of their eldest brother. But instead of good news, they received even worse news.

It was also an ordinary day, but the sky was overcast and rainy that day, which indicated that today would not be a happy day.

Sure enough, they received even worse news.

That was their beloved Second Senior Brother Qian Fu, who was also leaving. This news dealt a heavy blow to the already depressed brothers and sisters, and the poor Fuyun Temple was no longer able to be described as adding insult to injury.

But this in itself is something to be happy about.

It was the departure of the two senior brothers that caused the atmosphere at Fuyun Temple to plummet to its lowest point, and then it miraculously rebounded. Fuyun Temple swept away the previously depressing atmosphere and raised the atmosphere to an unprecedented high, even higher than when Su Mu left.

Everyone knew what was going on.

Everyone also understood one goal, which was to leave Fuyun Temple and venture out into the world.

The high spirits reached the point where we forgot to eat and sleep.

The only calm person in Floating Cloud Temple was probably the unreliable master. He looked at the mental journey of his group of unfilial disciples, and his mouth twitched violently. This group of unreliable people was simply embarrassing him. Even a son would not dislike his mother's ugliness.

However, without the two reliable disciples, Fuyun Temple has become almost in a state of disarray, if not unbearable, as if the past has returned to normal.

Anyway, it's unbelievable that someone who has cultivated to immortality can still live like that. This group of people can obviously shine in their own fields, but when they gather together, they can only rot and stink.

Although the group of fellow disciples have only just discovered it now, but as the saying goes, it’s not too late, there is no unity at all.

They are such a group of weirdos. They can share the same fate of life and death when invaded by foreign enemies, but they can also dislike each other in peacetime.

Even their master's living standards plummeted after the departure of his two reliable brothers. He was probably the only master in the world who was raised to be useless by his apprentices.

To be honest, this unreliable master also wants to go out for a walk and see the beautiful scenery.

How to say it, every one of the thirteen brothers thought so, but there was a fatal problem, that is, someone had to stay behind to look after Fuyun Temple, and no one wanted to be the one left behind, so a contradiction arose.

Once there are contradictions, internal circulation will inevitably begin.

This was also the reason why everyone suddenly worked hard. As for why their master didn't roll up his sleeves, it was because, after all, he would have a few more decades of food, and he would definitely not be the last one to leave.

The third person to leave Fuyun Temple was Yun Yue.

Although this person is not as reliable as the eldest and second brothers, his talent is enough to surpass them, so his departure is not surprising at all.

Yun Yue's departure was not as gloomy as the departure of his eldest and second brothers. It was even celebrated warmly, and all the brothers sent sincere blessings.

In fact, Yun Yue doesn’t know as much about the outside world as his eldest and second brothers, but this does not hinder him from exploring the world.

Yun Yue took his old friend and went down the mountain.

Yun Yue had no idea he would encounter such bizarre things on this trip. It had already been three years since Yun Yue left Floating Cloud Temple, and the Yan Dynasty had been too peaceful. He had visited the Yan Kingdom's capital and met the now-aging emperor. Though his body had aged, his spirit remained vibrant, his eyes free of the cloudiness of age. He was lucid, but perhaps it was a common trait among emperors: the older they get, the deeper their fear of death becomes. Therefore, it was inevitable that this emperor would pursue immortality.

While it wouldn't be a waste of money and effort, it was still a grand spectacle. Furthermore, some people in the Demon Slayer Division and the Demon Exorcist Sect had already achieved a different kind of immortality.

It was that Xuan Qi. This Xuan Qi had the highest degree of integration with the sword, and now time had barely left any trace on his face. It could be said that Xuan Qi had become a sword servant, his strength reaching a new level. Whether this was the legendary corpse reincarnation was unknown, but he had achieved immortality. How long this immortality would last was still unknown, a fact everyone knew, even Xuan Qi himself didn't particularly care.
