My low-key cultivation of immortality was discovered by the emperor in my diary.

Xuanzhen Temple.

As Lü Yun finished speaking, Lin Jiuxiao and Ji Lingchuan both turned their gazes toward Chu Lengyu.

They all knew Lü Yun; this little maid was not someone who spoke without reason. It was precisely because of their trust that they became curious.

Chu Lengyu remained calm and composed, stood up and said, "It's not feasible to use this technique here, let's go to the backyard."

"Okay." Green Bamboo's eyes sparkled with excitement as she happily followed, then turned back to urge the two, "Come on!"

The four arrived at the backyard of Xuanzhen Temple.

The wind and snow have been light these past few days, and the area still retains the miraculous sight of plants and trees rejuvenating.

However, due to the extremely cold weather, the plants in the courtyard gradually froze and withered under the ravages of the harsh winter, and even though Lin Jiuxiao and the others tried their best, they were powerless to reverse the situation.

Chu Lengyu stood still in the open space in the courtyard. Seeing this, the other three stopped a few steps away.

She got straight to the point and said, "Uncle-Master, Senior Brother, I have entered the Dao."

"Entering the Dao?" Lin Jiuxiao was taken aback upon hearing this, then laughed heartily, "Alright, alright, then tell your martial uncle what you've realized?"

Clearly, he didn't take her words seriously and misunderstood her meaning, thinking she had attained enlightenment.

Many people say this, thinking they have seen the Great Dao, and some even shout "I've succeeded, Daoist Master!" but they've actually gone mad.

Chu Lengyu replied earnestly, "My way is the Great Way of Heaven and Earth."

As she spoke, she flicked her sleeve, and a light blue spiritual light flew out from her hand, like a dragon swirling and dancing in the air.

The light swept across the withering vegetation, instantly revitalizing everything it touched. The once yellowed branches and leaves turned lush and green, and the wilted flowers bloomed again with dazzling brilliance.

Then, as if in an instant, they completed the process of flowering and bearing fruit.

Even more amazingly, after the fruits of these plants fall to the ground, the seeds immediately take root, sprout, grow new branches and leaves, and bloom new flowers.

The entire backyard was lush and green, as if I had accidentally wandered into the height of summer.

"My way can control the creation of heaven and earth."

At that moment, she had just finished speaking.

This incredible change not only captivated their eyes but also deeply shocked their souls.

The three were astonished by this incredibly miraculous scene that defied the laws of nature.

Then she continued.

"My way can control the time and space of the universe."

A dazzling sword light enveloped them, carrying them straight into the sky.

Looking down, the earth unfolds like a beautiful scroll, with mountains, rivers, cities, and villages all beneath your feet.

The magnificent capital city now appears as but a small corner of a painting, seeming so insignificant.

An unprecedented surge of excitement and awe welled up within them, as if the entire world were under their control.

The wind whistled past their ears, carrying a slight chill, yet bringing a strange sense of exhilaration. They soared through the clouds, overlooking the earth, their hearts filled with boundless freedom and joy.

However, the world is vast, and it is not limited to this!

Amidst the excitement and awe, standing amidst this vast and boundless天地 (heaven and earth), they had never felt their own insignificance so profoundly.

"My way can control the fate of all living beings."

With the blessing of the Qi Observation Technique, their vision seemed to be covered by a mysterious filter, allowing them to glimpse the fortunes and misfortunes of all living beings.

Looking out, one sees that the fortunes of all living beings on this vast land are like a thick, oppressive layer of gray clouds.

Those whose luck is gloomy seem to be bound by the chains of fate, destined to spend their lives in mediocrity.

They were either busy in the fields or bustling about in the city, and the hardships and helplessness of life were written on everyone's face.

But when the group looked away and examined each other, they were surprised to find that the aura above their heads was no different from that of the people below them—a gray-white cloud.

However, within it lay a trace of extremely noble golden-purple aura, faintly pointing to that ethereal and otherworldly figure in the clouds.

Lin Jiuxiao finally snapped out of his shock and asked in a trembling voice, "Yu'er, what happened to you...!"

His eyes gleamed with excitement, as if he had seen unprecedented hope and possibility.

"If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening." He had finally seen the true Great Way, and immense joy filled his heart. Even if he were to die at this moment, he would be satisfied and have no regrets!

"My path is not limited to this; its profound mysteries cannot be fully comprehended throughout the ages," Chu Lengyu said slowly.

She turned her head and looked at me: "Uncle-Master, look, this is what I have realized."

The Lone Sword flew out and landed in her palm.

In an instant, the snow-white sword light, like the bright moon in the sky, spread out in a vast expanse, making the world lose its color.

Even though the three of them only came into contact with a trace of sword intent, they felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave. It was as if their bodies and consciousness were instantly shattered by the cold moonlight and turned into dust.

They were filled with anxiety and it took them a great deal of effort to calm themselves down.

The girl opposite had already withdrawn her sword strikes, her fair face radiant, and the Dudu Sword floated beside her, utterly obedient.

“Uncle-Master, I can protect myself, don’t worry,” she said.

Lin Jiuxiao opened his mouth, unsure how to answer.

The little child from back then has now developed such astonishing skills; he pinched himself hard.

The scenes he had just witnessed were so shocking and bizarre that he wondered if he had never woken up.

Fortunately, the pain proved that this was not his delusional fantasy.

The elderly man, with graying temples, had tears welling up in his eyes.

"Okay, okay."

Ji Lingchuan quickly helped his master up, and looking at Chu Lengyu not far away, he felt as if he had been in another world.

She smiled at him gently, her smile as pure and clear as ice and snow, yet untouchable.

Her eyes were as clear as a mirror, reflecting everything, yet like flowing water, nothing could linger on them.

Ji Lingchuan returned her smile, and the slight melancholy he had been feeling quickly dissipated. He was genuinely happy for her.

She is the moon in the clouds, a celestial being. Since she is destined not to stay for anyone, then she will fly as high as possible.

Go pursue your own path and create your own legend.

……

Back at Xuanzhen Temple.

Lin Jiuxiao thought it over and over, but he was still worried. He instructed, "Yu'er, I will not ask you where you got your inheritance, nor will I interfere with how you deal with Chu Wenchen. I only hope that you will do more good deeds in the future and not go astray."

"Don't worry, Uncle-Master, I understand," Chu Lengyu replied.

Ji Lingchuan, having regained his senses, asked, "Junior Sister, was that spring breeze last time also your doing?"

She responded generously, "It was caused by the dissipation of spiritual energy when I broke through."

The thought that Chu Lengyu was watching from the side when they thought it was the ancestral master's intervention made the old man and the young man extremely embarrassed.

Lin Jiuxiao changed the subject, saying, "Yu'er, you just mentioned breaking through? What do you mean by that?"

Chu Lengyu then explained to him, "My path of cultivation has nine realms. I had only just broken through to the second realm."

"Hiss." They gasped.

He's already this powerful at only the second realm?!

Green Bamboo chuckled and said, "I knew it! Miss is quite capable!"
