Yellow Court Daoist

Although I couldn't arrive half a day earlier to protect you on your path to immortality, it doesn't really matter. After all, Dust-clearing before ascending to immortality is not quite the same as ascending to immortality before Dust-clearing. Had I come earlier, I might have encountered more difficulties.

Lu Qingfeng, accompanied by his disciple Lin Ye, entered the Two Extremes Palace located at Two Qi Peak, aware of the obstacles his disciple faced in her ascension. Suspecting she might be forcing a smile, he tactfully changed the topic, sparing his disciple the despair and depression of potential failure, and spoke first.

Dust-clearing ascension.

Ascending Dust-clearing.

Lin Ye was naturally aware of both concepts.

She cultivated the True Sect Level "Luo Fu Sword Scripture" passed down by Lu Qingfeng, a True Skill of the Immortal Dao leading directly to the Earth Immortal level, which included a description of the Earth Immortal Level.

The First Realm of Earth Immortal is the 'Dust-clearing Realm'.

These so-called 'Dust-clearing to Immortal' and 'Immortal to Dust-clearing' represent two different paths to achieving Earth Immortality.

One has Dust-clearing first;

The other has it later.

Without going into details, the former is the path she intended to take—

Operating a Daoist Field on Seven Treasures Mountain, seeking to use the field to bless the land and achieve Earth Immortality.

This is known as 'Blessed Land Creation Earth Immortal.'

The latter path is more arduous.

It involves creating a path through the Longevity Mist before directly opening the gates to the Immortal Sect, achieving the righteous path of Earth Immortality, and then creating the Blessed Land.

Thus, it's called 'Earth Immortal Derived Blessed Land.'

One precedes the other, and the futures they lead to are markedly different.

While managing her Daoist Field, Lin Ye also kept a watch on the latter method of cultivation. Yet, this method was fraught with difficulty, and she still found herself stuck in the Longevity Mist, unable to find the way forward.

Left with no other choice, she settled for what was achievable, for becoming an Earth Immortal was what truly mattered.

Regrettably,

Even this fallback option didn't succeed completely, ultimately leaving her efforts incomplete.

Reunited with her mentor was a cause for joy, and Lin Ye deliberately avoided thinking about longevity or Earth Immortality to avoid spoiling their mood.

Unexpectedly, her mentor was the first to bring it up.

His words were indeed strange—

"Although I couldn't arrive half a day earlier to protect you in your ascension, it doesn't really matter."

...

"Dust-clearing before ascension ultimately does not compare to ascending before Dust-clearing."

...

"Had I arrived earlier, we might have inevitably faced some difficulties."

...

Doesn't really matter?

Failing to achieve Earth Immortality is inconsequential?

Difficulties?

Whether it's Dust-clearing to ascend or ascending to Dust-clearing, neither has any bearing on her now. Why mention difficulties?

Gulp—

Lin Ye suddenly thought of a possibility, her mouth went dry, and she swallowed, feeling as if struck by lightning. Her eyes suddenly widened!

Crash.

The Immortal Tea in her hands inadvertently fell to the ground, scattering the superior quality tea leaves sourced from the top of Immortal Crow Mountain.

"The tea is good."

Seeing Lin Ye's incredulous and somewhat hopeful look, Lu Qingfeng nodded, undisturbed by his disciple's shock, casually picked up the Immortal Tea, and smiled to himself, "You've cultivated diligently for years, with a solid foundation and substantial accumulation. Just a little enlightenment is needed, and achieving Earth Immortality will naturally follow."

Lu Qingfeng's words were sincere.

Lin Ye was different from Iron Feather Daoist of the Capturing God General Mansion, one of his four major generals, who had spent a lifetime cultivating Side Door Level Skills. He reached the True Immortal Realm and found the path ended there, with no guidance for the way forward, forcing him to explore blindly through dense fog, wasting much time.

Despite receiving the True Sect Level Great Method from Lu Qingfeng later, the difficulty of turning back meant that even with Lu Qingfeng's enlightenment, he could only follow the path of 'Blessed Land Creation Earth Immortal.'

Using the Daoist Field as a boost, he managed to step into the Earth Immortal Level.

But Lin Ye was different.

Since her first steps on the path of cultivation over a hundred thousand years ago, she had been following the True Sect Level "Luo Fu Sword Scripture. She spent years diligently cultivating directly towards the Earth Immortal Dao Fruit. With proper guidance and supplemented by the right Immortal Pills, the likelihood of achieving Earth Immortality was very high.

Of course,

What Lu Qingfeng did not mention was: those capable of providing such enlightenment for True Immortals usually required at least the Golden Immortal Dao ability, if not something even more advanced.

Such figures, hard to find in the mortal world, let alone in the vast expanse of Primordial, were not within the reach of a mere True Immortal.

Not to mention receiving their guidance.

By contrast,

Although Immortal Pills and miraculous elixirs are rare in the world, there was still a glimmer of hope.

For Lin Ye until now, both Immortal Pills and the attention of a Great Power had been lacking, leaving her with only the peak of Mahayana cultivation and just shy of stepping into Earth Immortality, always falling just short.

Initially, with the help of her Daoist Field, there was still hope to make that final step, but unfortunately, it was thwarted by Yun Qing and Yun De.

Therefore,

Lu Qingfeng's arrival was timely—

A Great Power?

The "Yellow Court Scripture" contained the "Enlightenment" Great Method, which was as potent as the teachings of a Golden Immortal in this situation.

Immortal Pills?

For someone like the Thunder Department's Capturing God General, they were hardly worth mentioning.

"Just relax."

"This is the 'Red Immortal Pill,' which wards off evil spirits. This is the 'Dirt Immortal Pill,' which can purify your immortal body. This is the 'Ziwei Immortal Pill,' breaking all evil barriers. And there's more..."

Lu Qingfeng carefully explained each critical point, then without pausing, he fetched one Jade Purifying Bottle after another. Each emitted a strong fragrance of Elixir Pills, each containing a pill that was rarely seen in the mortal world and even scarce in the Earth Immortal World.

Boom!

Even with the barrier of the Jade Purifying Bottle, Lin Ye could still feel the Pure Yang Qi Mechanism within the bottle, bursting forth like the Arrogant Sun, shaking the entirety of Two Qi Peak. The previously languishing flowers and trees immediately perked up, showing signs of being brought back to life.

Truly worthy of being Immortal Elixir Pills.
