In the morning of Bianjing City, He Huan walked out of the house, stretching lazily.
Suddenly, his expression stiffened as he looked up to see a streak of white light shooting straight into the sky.
Gathering his divine power in his eyes, he saw strands of spiritual energy in his line of sight.
Looking up at the sky of Bianjing, a boundless giant rose into the sky, the endless heavenly bodies unable to suppress the giant.
Lifting the sky with one hand!
He could only feel his scalp tingling, unable to comprehend how someone in the realm of immortals could fly nine days away.
"Who on earth is this sacred being?"
As the morning light fell into the imperial palace, in front of the massive alchemy furnace, the old Taoist who had been meditating for years slowly stood up, walking out of the palace to the surprise of the palace guards.
Outside the palace, the newly appointed Grand Internal Manager Feng Bozhou was looking up in horror.
Seeing the Emperor of the Taoist path coming out, he said, "Your Majesty, someone can fly in the realm of immortals! This... this goes against the heavenly order..."
The Emperor of the Taoist path looked up at the giant figure in the sky, slightly reaching out his hand before retracting it.
Muttering to himself, he said, "Is this the power of immortals? To lift the heavenly bodies and ascend thousands of feet, beyond the reach of us mortals."
Upon hearing about the power of immortals, Grand Internal Manager Feng Bozhou immediately thought of someone and asked, "Is that the Heavenly Maiden of the Taoist path?"
The Heavenly Maiden of the Taoist path, a title bestowed by the Heavenly Mandate List, the most prestigious title among the three lists throughout history.
Each iteration of the three lists was based on reputation and Daoist skills, even the powerful Three Clear Daoists could only be called Three Clear.
But she was of the Taoist path, her significance was self-evident.
Initially unknown, Yuhua was just an ordinary disciple of the Three Clear Daoist sect.
However, when she stepped forward, she rose to the top of the Heavenly Mandate List.
Some were skeptical, some were doubtful, but she seemed like a banished immortal reincarnated, naturally sacred and inviolable in her position at the top of the list.
Even the Nine Lives Sword Sovereign of Zhejian Mountain could only rank second.
During the previous visit to the imperial palace, Yuhua displayed her strength for the first time, but it was still within the realm of understanding.
"No matter."
The Emperor of the Taoist path turned back indifferently to the palace, sitting back in front of the Elixir of Immortality furnace.
"With her strength alone, she may not be able to defeat all the people in the world, and the various sects and schools will not allow a living immortal to exist. She can be worshipped in the scriptures, but if she truly emerges, it would be too terrifying."
Feng Bozhou asked, "Then why does Your Majesty support the Three Clear Daoist sect?"
"The Elixir of Immortality, this is the final main medicine."
The Emperor of the Taoist path continued to put spiritual herbs into the Elixir of Immortality furnace, suddenly remembering Zhao Feng and asked, "Feng'er, how is he?"
Feng Bozhou's expression turned grim as he said, "He suffered serious injuries and failed to condense his Dao Foundation. It's likely he's crippled."
"No matter."
The Emperor of the Taoist path remained indifferent as always.
"A mere damage to the foundation, marrying someone else will do."
Above the nine heavens, two figures broke through the clouds.
As the morning sun rose in the east, a crane soared above the clouds, reflecting the golden light in the sky for thousands of miles.
This was the first time Gu Wen stood at such a height.
His legs felt weak, and he couldn't help but hold onto Yuhua slightly.
Yuhua didn't mind, the gust of wind lifting her veil, her celestial face carrying a hint of teasing as she said, "Are you afraid of heights?"
"I've never flown before."
His voice trembled a bit.
In his past life, he had never been this high, not even on a large swing, let alone an airplane.
A mischievous smile rarely seen on Yuhua's face appeared.
This time, instead of comforting him as usual, she accelerated their speed.
The gust of wind hitting his body made Gu Wen cling closer to her, only able to breathe when pressed against her.
"To fly in the realm of immortals, one must bear the weight of heaven and earth, merge the nine Dao Foundations into one, and comprehend the path of transcendence. I didn't have a Dao Foundation of my own, so I inherited it from my master, but I still lack a bit of understanding to fully integrate it."
The Dao De Jing was not an unparalleled divine skill, but an explanation of the Dao, surpassing all other magical techniques.
Different readers had different interpretations, but what Yuhua comprehended was naturally the most superior.
Yuhua's voice carried the wild wind of the nine heavens, and as they flew higher, Bianjing City below grew smaller, while the blue sky above came closer.
"Allow me to say a word, I have glimpsed the magnificence of my master from the past. Let us witness it together."
Gu Wen looked up at her back, feeling like he was ascending to immortality himself.
In the realm of immortals, she seemed like a banished immortal.
"Behold the vastness of this realm of immortals, the prosperity of all things, and the brilliance of the Dao."
Gathering the essence of the five organs, one organ containing two essences, now one organ containing one essence was enough.
Many books are now hard to find, so cherish what you have.
