I have changed my destiny and become an unparalleled immortal.

The First Fairy of Zixu, who is usually cold and aloof, and keeps strangers at bay.

At this moment, she was like a little girl, burying her face in the young man's chest, calling him "Grandpa" over and over again, crying her heart out!

She then looked at the ancient giant, Stone, who was kneeling on the ground and had shattered the bluestone slabs.

That was the living Yama in the eyes of all the disciples, a guardian war god who could tear apart a second-tier demon beast with his bare body!

At this moment, however, she cried like a 200-pound child, hugging Gu Yun's leg and calling him "Uncle."

Han Rou stared blankly at the young man in a green robe, surrounded by the three peak combatants of the Zixu Sect, with his silver hair dancing wildly.

Memories from thirty-eight years ago, like sharp blades, sliced ​​through her former arrogance piece by piece.

"Gu Yun, Qianyan is like a cloud in the sky, and you are like the soil in the ground. People should know their place and end their own lives as soon as possible, so as not to die a horrible death and tarnish her reputation."

"Judging from your health, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on much longer. Go to the abandoned alchemy room in the back mountain and keep watch there; the medicinal energy there might extend your life by another six months."

Han Rou's mind went blank for a moment, overwhelmed by an indescribable sense of extreme shame!

Who is the soil? And who is the cloud?!

Thirty-eight years ago, she arrogantly and condescendingly threw a dying eighty-year-old man into a stinking, abandoned alchemy room.

But she never dreamed that it was that dead cripple who was covered in sores and barely managed to reach the first level of Qi cultivation back then.

He was actually the senior brother whom the sect leader of the Zixu Sect revered!

He was actually the grandfather whom the First Fairy of Zixu regarded as a god!

He was actually the uncle whom the sect's war god kowtowed to!

What's even more terrifying is that this man just casually flicked a drop of blood and set up an array, which pulled him back from the brink of death and kicked him into the Foundation Establishment stage, which countless rogue cultivators dream of entering!

This is a method that seizes the power of heaven and earth and reverses the balance of yin and yang.

And back then, I actually put on that arrogant and condescending attitude in front of him?

"What...what stupid things did I do back then?"

Endless regret completely shattered Han Rou's psychological defenses.

"thump!"

Han Rou dared not look up, not daring to look directly at the back of the young man in the blue robe. She even breathed cautiously, afraid of disturbing these monsters who stood at the pinnacle of power in the Cangbei Spirit Domain as they reminisced.

Han Roucai finally understood the breadth of mind and spirit contained in Gu Yun's words when he entered the door, "Thirty-eight years have passed, I return to you a great destiny!"

He was already a true dragon high in the heavens, while I, from beginning to end, was just an ant that couldn't even be considered a frog at the bottom of a well.

He saved her not because he thought highly of her, but simply because of the insignificant kindness he had shown her when the alchemy room was abandoned years ago.

Lei Lie moved closer to Gu Yun, his eyes filled with barely suppressed eagerness.

"Senior brother,"

Lei Lie addressed him with perfect naturalness, his tone tinged with anticipation.

"Now that you're back, don't leave! The old sect leader once said that you are the trump card of our Zixu Sect, and you were originally an elder here. Now that you're standing here, the Zixu Sect is your home!"

He patted his chest and said with great pride.

"As long as my senior brother nods, I'll immediately arrange for you to have the best location in the sect with the most abundant spiritual energy! I'll never let you suffer the slightest injustice again!"

Gu Yun looked at the man with wildly dancing purple hair in front of him, who was now the leader of a sect.

He looked down at Luo Ling'er, who was clinging tightly to his clothes, as if afraid he would run away again, and at Shi Tou, who stood beside him like a guardian deity, staring at him expectantly.

He knew in his heart that his Dao Foundation of the Purple Mansion Thirteen Beads was now complete.

Now that my lifespan is running out, I need a safe place.

The Purple Void Sect is undoubtedly the best choice.

Gu Yun smiled gently and nodded readily without any affectation.

"Okay, I'm tired too, I'll rest here for a bit."

"Very good!"

Seeing Gu Yun nod in agreement, Lei Lie slapped his thigh, his eyes bursting with joy, and the huge weight that had been hanging over his heart for so long was finally lifted off his feet!

"By leaving this great Buddha statue here, the Zixu Sect is safe this time!"

Lei Lie screamed wildly in his heart.

Only he, as the sect leader, knew how strange and tense the situation in the Cangbei Spiritual Domain had been in the past six months.

Blood Fiend Valley, a powerful demonic force in the far north.

For some unknown reason, it is said that one Nascent Soul cultivator disappeared back then, and another Nascent Soul cultivator who had been in seclusion for many years not only broke out of seclusion, but also went on a rampage, biting people all over the Cangbei Spirit Realm as if his ancestral grave had been dug up!

The sects throughout the Cangbei Spiritual Domain were thrown into a state of panic by the Blood Fiend Sect.

As a major righteous sect, the Zixu Sect bore the brunt of the attack and endured immense defensive pressure. Lei Lie had been overwhelmed with worry these past few months, constantly preparing for a potential attack from the Blood Fiend Sect, and hadn't been able to sleep soundly.

Just when we needed manpower, who would have thought that Senior Brother Gu would fall from the sky!

Lei Lie had personally witnessed Gu Yun's monstrous combat power in the Cangyuan Secret Realm, tearing apart a great demon with his bare hands and going head-to-head with a Golden Core cultivator!

So many years have passed, their strength must only be higher now.

With such a powerful and unfathomable living Yama in charge, I feel a little more at ease!

"Senior brother, come with me! This wretched place like the outer sect is hardly worthy of your status!"

Lei Lie waved his hand and eagerly led the way.

Luo Ling'er stopped crying and smiled, naturally taking Gu Yun's arm, while Shi Tou silently followed behind Gu Yun, never leaving his side.

The four of them, under the awe-inspiring gazes of the outer disciples, transformed into four streaks of light and headed straight for the innermost peak of the Zixu Sect.

All that remained was Han Rou, who had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, in that dilapidated courtyard.

She gazed up at the figures disappearing into the clouds, unable to recover for a long time, her eyes filled with awe.

……

Zixu Sect, Ziyun Main Peak, Tingpu Garden.

This is a high-class courtyard where only the supreme elders of the Zixu Sect are qualified to reside.

The courtyard is nestled against the mountain and beside the water, with a silvery-white waterfall cascading down the cliff.

Water splashed up.

The courtyard is planted with thousand-year-old purple bamboo, and the pavilions and towers are all made of rare spirit blood wood and warm jade. It is equipped with spirit gathering array, defense array, and soundproof array, making it extremely luxurious.

"Senior brother, this Listening Waterfall Garden is the core of our Purple Void Sect's spiritual vein array, where the spiritual energy is most abundant. Are you satisfied with it?"

Lei Lie eagerly pushed open the courtyard gate and said with a smile.

"Indeed, Sect Master Lei has gone to great lengths."

Gu Yun stepped into the courtyard, took a deep breath of the refreshing spiritual energy, and nodded in satisfaction.

Although the spiritual energy here is not as pure and extreme as that of the Ice Soul Secret Realm, it is more balanced and harmonious, making it the most suitable place for him to regulate his qi and blood and comprehend the various arts of cultivation.

"Grandpa, where have you been all these decades? We haven't heard a thing! You just vanished suddenly in the secret realm back then."

As soon as she sat down, Luo Ling'er couldn't wait to stick close to Gu Yun, her beautiful big eyes full of curiosity and resentment, and she asked a barrage of questions.

Stone, rubbing his bald head, came over with a憨憨 (simple and honest) expression.

Gu Yun shook his head helplessly, picked up the spiritual tea on the table, and took a sip.

He can't exactly say, "For the past twenty years, I've been sealed in a lightning-struck wooden coffin by your grandmother like Sleeping Beauty, and as soon as I came out, I went and drained the sacred land of Blood Fiend Valley dry, can I?"

"Back then..."

Gu Yun put down his teacup, his eyes becoming deep and distant, a mysterious smile curving his lips, and began to spout nonsense with a straight face.

However, Sect Master Lei never expected this.

The Blood Fiend Sect bites people all over the world like a mad dog, and is always ready to start a war.

The root cause is Senior Brother Gu, who is smiling and telling stories to the younger generation.

They personally turned the Blood Pool of the Blood Fiend Valley into a dry pit and almost made the Nascent Soul Ancestor go mad with anger!

Gu Yun casually made up a few stories about his twenty years of secluded cultivation, which finally calmed down Luo Ling'er and Shi Tou, the two curious children.

He picked up the fragrant tea brewed from the thousand-year-old spiritual spring on the table, gently skimmed off the foam, and took a small sip.

The warm tea soothed my nerves, which had been tense for days.

Setting down his teacup, Gu Yun slightly raised his scarlet eyes to look at Lei Lie sitting opposite him, as if he had remembered an old friend, and casually asked.

"Speaking of which, the old sect leader has been quite kind to me, even keeping my life tablet for me. Now that you've taken over the sect leader's seal of the Zixu Sect, how has the old sect leader been lately?"

Upon hearing this question, Lei Lie, who was holding a teacup, was suddenly taken aback.

His hand holding the teacup froze in mid-air, a barely perceptible hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.

You should know that in the Cangbei Spiritual Domain, the highest combat strength of a sect is an absolute secret.

Especially recently, the Blood Fiend Sect has been attacking people like a mad dog, and all sects are desperately hiding their trump cards.

But after only half a second of hesitation, Lei Lie put down his teacup.

Who is this person in front of me?

This is the living Yama who kicked around the prodigies on the Hidden Dragon Ranking like a ball in the Cangyuan Secret Realm back then. Even the old sect leader specially instructed that he should be treated with the highest courtesy. He is also Ling'er's grandfather!

The Zixu Sect has absolutely no need to hold back when dealing with him.

Lei Lie's expression turned serious. He casually set up another soundproof barrier around the courtyard before lowering his voice, his tone revealing an undisguised fervor.

"Senior Brother Gu, to be honest, the old sect master has successfully broken through to the Nascent Soul stage!"

"Oh?"

Gu Yun raised an eyelid slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"After returning from the Cangyuan Secret Realm, the former sect leader sensed an opportunity to grasp the Great Dao and entrusted me with the heavy responsibility of the sect. He then entered the deepest forbidden area of ​​the Zixu Sect for secluded cultivation. Just half a year ago, auspicious omens descended upon the forbidden area, and a tribulation of lightning cleansed him. The former sect leader survived and is now at a crucial juncture in stabilizing his realm and cultivating in seclusion!"

Lei Lie clenched his fist and sneered as he finished speaking.

"The Blood Fiend Sect has been so arrogant lately, repeatedly testing the bottom line of my Purple Void Sect. They think my Purple Void Sect is weak and easily bullied because of a lack of successors! Little do they know, once the old sect master emerges from seclusion, my Purple Void Sect will also have Nascent Soul cultivators. If things really come to a head, who knows who will destroy whom!"

Gu Yun put down his teacup. "Not bad," he thought, "you've quietly prepared a powerful move." With a Nascent Soul stage cultivator as her father, Ling'er can practically roam freely in the Cangbei Spiritual Domain from now on.

Back in the abandoned alchemy room, he was an eighty-year-old man whose life was hanging by a thread. When Luo Ling'er called him "Grandpa," he shamelessly responded.
