My whole family cultivated immortality without telling me

Chapter 819 Yong-ge, you've managed to remain untainted by the mud.

The thrill didn't arrive until the surrender ceremony was over.

The powerful figures from the five righteous realms were secretly pleased while wiping away sweat.

"I thought it was just talk, but I never expected it to actually come true!"

"One was the Blood Sect, the other the Demon Sect; weren't they both legendary figures? And yet..."

"I've led the sect for hundreds of years, accomplishing nothing, and yet, by sheer chance, I've received such an honor, hahaha..."

"Don't laugh. Who would dare record this in the sect's logbook? Aren't they afraid of being wiped out by the demonic forces in the future?"

"If they were truly capable, why would they travel thousands of miles to surrender? Was it because of some kind of provocation?"

……

A murmur of discussion broke out, and eventually the bigwigs surrounded Elder Tian.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for allowing even those of us in this remote and impoverished region to experience the dignity of the righteous path and the might of the upright!"

"Please accept our bow, Your Excellency!"

Elder Tian smiled and accepted the bow before saying, "The conflict between good and evil is not a matter of life and death, but rather a matter of right and wrong. In your future actions, please do not be too dogmatic..."

After a long lecture, before the assembled dignitaries could even bow in respect, he waved to the Golden Image Ancestor and left.

The subsequent cleanup was not something he, as the envoy, needed to worry about.

Therefore, Ancestor Jinxiang was also puzzled by Elder Tian's next instructions.

"Could it be that I'm being asked to represent the Five Domains Sects at the Sky-Supporting Sect..."

As he was lost in thought, Elder Tian's voice rang out.

"Now that this matter is settled, I must also depart," Elder Tian said with a slight smile. "As for the follow-up matters, I will have to rely on you to take on the main responsibility."

Seeing that he wasn't being asked to report his advanced deeds to the Qingtian Sect, Ancestor Jin Xiang was slightly disappointed, but quickly smiled and said, "This time, it was all thanks to the envoy that the surrender ceremony came to a successful conclusion. Although there are still some things to wrap up, I believe that under the envoy's glorious light..."

"Hehe, you don't need to go to such lengths," Elder Tian chuckled, waving his hand. "But it's no small matter."

Upon hearing that this was no small matter, the old ancestor Jin Xiang's expression became more solemn, and he bowed and said, "Please give your instructions, Your Excellency."

"This grand event is nothing more than a small affair, and there's no need to take it seriously. However..." Elder Tian sighed, "This place borders the demonic realm and is relatively isolated, rarely having any contact with the true cultivation world..."

In view of these two points, Elder Tian instructed Jin Xiangzong to be in charge of publicizing this matter.

"I see," the Golden Ancestor said with sudden realization and admiration, "Your Excellency's strategic planning is truly remarkable. I believe that once this is accomplished, the Five Regions will surely become the vanguard in subduing demons, allowing the light of our righteous path to shine throughout the world!"

Elder Tian nodded slightly.

"That makes sense, so I ask you to take this matter seriously and work with Fellow Daoist Lu to ensure its implementation."

Should we take charge together with Fellow Daoist Lu?
Despite having a bellyful of questions, Ancestor Jinxiang dared not ask any more. He immediately took his leave and went to find Fellow Daoist Lu to get some answers.

He had barely left when Shen Qingyun came running over again.

Even though Elder Tian had the intention of controlling Shen Qingyun, he couldn't stand Shen Qingyun's three daily greetings.

Of course, the excuse of paying respects was false; the real reason for inquiring about the response from the Sky-Piercing Sect was genuine.

“Young friend, you…” Elder Tian pondered for a moment, then sighed, “After all, this is the world of cultivation, where time is measured in years, not hours.”

Shen Qingyun knew immediately that the news about his maternal grandfather and mother from the Qingtian Sect had not yet arrived.

"Of course, it's possible that it was transmitted, but Yong-ge's master said it wasn't..."

Suppressing his thoughts, he respectfully said, "This junior has come only to report on Fellow Daoist Lu's work..."

Lu Daoyou was fine; he was simply in charge of filming after the surrender ceremony officially began.

"I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Lu to be so self-taught," Shen Qingyun said with genuine praise. "The filming of the surrender ceremony was a great success!"

Elder Tian asked cheerfully, "How will it succeed?"

"That's a long story."

"Three sentences."

"Allow this junior to give it a try," Shen Qingyun took a deep breath, "to portray the noble character and uprightness of righteous people, led by Elder Tian; to portray the sinister, vicious, and ugly nature of demonic cultivators, represented by Blackwater Daoist and the Jealous Demon Envoy; and to portray..."

"Ahem," Elder Tian couldn't help but say, "If I remember correctly, people are jealous of the Demon Envoy's appearance and are very good at fighting. How could he be ugly?"

Shen Qingyun clapped his hands lightly: "That's right, otherwise how can we show Fellow Daoist Lu's abilities?"

Elder Tian exclaimed in surprise, "Fellow Daoist Lu's contribution?"

"So that you may know, senior," Shen Qingyun's face was full of admiration, "the image-recording stone is like a beloved son to Fellow Daoist Lu..."

Unexpectedly, these words made Tian Changlao's body tremble, and he chuckled wistfully after a long while.

"Perhaps he really is his biological son..."

Shen Qingyun was taken aback: "Senior, what did you say?"

"It's nothing," Elder Tian waved his hand. "Since it was done well, then proceed according to the previous arrangements... Don't worry, I have my pride. As long as this matter is handled well... the communication talisman will definitely arrive very quickly."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingyun immediately became certain that the communication talisman was almost certainly in Elder Tian's storage bag!

"Brother Yong, you've managed to remain untainted by the mud..."

A sneeze!

Seeing Elder Tian sneeze for no apparent reason, Shen Qingyun dared not curse anymore. Overwhelmed with gratitude, he bowed deeply and left.

"You brat," Elder Tian rubbed his nose, finding it amusing, "He even dared to scold me... Sigh, Yong'er has a personality like mine, he probably gets scolded quite a bit in private too..."

Being scolded is not a big deal.

The Qingtian Sect has always valued talent. As long as you have the ability to get the Supreme Elder to not pursue the matter, you can even spit on the platform.

Elder Tian closed his eyes and pondered.

He remained expressionless for most of the time while contemplating.

Occasionally, his brow would furrow slightly.

With each furrow of his brow, the name of another Blood Sect would flash through his mind.

"Elder Blood Corpse..."

The name itself is the real problem.

Those who appeared in the territory of the righteous path were far more than just Shen Tu Dali and Cui Jiuying.

"Unfortunately, the sect's immortal artifact only detected a single fluctuation of the Blood Corpse Elder's aura..."

The fluctuation was fleeting, and for months there was no further reaction, as if it were dead.

"After all, he is a veteran elder of the Blood Sect," Elder Tian sneered, muttering silently, "How could he possibly perish so easily?"

So that's a big problem.

No one would believe that the hidden Blood Corpse Elder came to the righteous territory to do good deeds anonymously.

On the contrary, anyone with a brain knows that the next time this name appears, it may unleash a sea of blood and build mountains of corpses in the righteous realm.

"But at this very moment, a certain sword immortal who had been incredibly active before suddenly went silent!"

Since the bigwigs of the Immortal Sword Sect didn't react, the task naturally fell to the Sky-Supporting Sect.

Moreover, in order to appear inconspicuous, Elder Tian was all alone, fighting a lone battle... Of course, this was impossible.

He had seen Shen Qingyun's work before at Daoxuan Pavilion, and it was truly excellent.

With Luo Yong's endless flattery, it would be unjust if Shen Qingyun didn't work!
This is not over yet.

"It's a perfect storm of timing, location, and people. His maternal grandfather and mother have fallen into the hands of the Qingtian Sect..." Realizing this was inappropriate, Elder Tian coughed awkwardly, "He's gotten another stroke of luck with the Qingtian Sect, hehe..."

That's fucking aboveboard!
"But..." Elder Tian murmured in confusion, "I asked him to do something, but he... turned around and asked Rousseau for help, and even brought out the recording stone..."

Could it be that Shen Qingyun has guessed Rousseau's identity?
At this moment, Shen Qingyun, naturally carrying new doubts, came to ask Fellow Daoist Lu for guidance.

"Ask away," Rousseau said, much more cheerful than when he first met Shen Qingyun. "Whether you know or not, I will answer to the best of my ability."

"Haha, alright," Shen Qingyun readily agreed, bowing respectfully and asking, "May I ask, Fellow Daoist Lu, is there any kinship between a person and a magical artifact?"

Rousseau's expression immediately turned serious: "I didn't expect you, fellow Daoist, to raise such a question concerning the core of weapon crafting..."

You must have misunderstood something! Shen Qingyun was taken aback, then quickly said, "Let me put it another way, Fellow Daoist Lu... do you have a biological son?"

"That's utter nonsense..." Rousseau realized, his brow furrowing slightly. "Who said that?"

Shen Qingyun sighed, "I just went to see Senior Tian, and what he meant was... Fellow Daoist Lu and this recording stone have quite a close relationship?"

“I see,” Rousseau glared at Shen Qingyun, annoyed. “You’re so easily startled.”

"Never mind whether you're startled or not," Shen Qingyun was already showing signs of shock, "Fellow Daoist Lu, is it really related to this recording stone?"

Rousseau nodded, seemingly unconcerned, and said, "The little gadgets I made back then were all defective. I thought they'd been disposed of by my subordinates, but I never expected..."

Seeing the meaningful look in Rousseau's eyes, Shen Qingyun immediately understood.

"I never expected that the trash I threw out would be treated like treasure by you all, and even returned to me..."

I'll take this taunt!
Shen Qingyun's eyes nearly popped out: "Brother, let me wake up..."

“Ha,” Rousseau chuckled, then thought for a moment, and with a flick of his wrist, a long, golden stone appeared on the table. “This photographic stone has quite a few functions; I’ll give it to you…”

Before the word "了" could be uttered, the golden image stone had already disappeared.

At the same time, Shen Qingyun's arms had already wrapped around her.

Rousseau reacted a beat too slow and could only be held tightly by Shen Qingyun.

"Brother, you're my real brother!"

"Stop, stop," Rousseau finally managed to break free, frowning as he asked, "Is that all?"

“Of course not,” Shen Qingyun suppressed his excitement and said in a low voice, “I estimate that something big is about to happen.”

Rousseau was about to follow Shen Qingyun's train of thought when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

"This kid is cunning; he's probably trying to lure me into a trap..."

He wasn't in a hurry to fall into the trap, and began to think things through on his own.

He had previously speculated that Shen Qingyun would use this surrender ceremony to make him famous.

"Then, by leveraging the power of subduing demons, you can gain fame for me, and then seek negotiations with Yunzang to release me from my confinement..."

The method is mediocre.

But it must be said that this is also one of the best methods that is currently feasible.

"Unfortunately, even after the surrender ceremony ended, I, Fellow Daoist Shen, didn't show up..."

He simply used his own discarded trash to film the surrender ceremony.

With this analysis, he grasped the key point.

"Could the important matter that Fellow Daoist Shen mentioned be related to the footage of the surrender ceremony?"

"Brother, you're the one!" Shen Qingyun gave two thumbs up, then said solemnly, "But precisely because this is a major event, Fellow Daoist Lu should be even more involved..."

Rousseau did not object to this point, but instead asked, "What is the matter, then?"

"I don't know about that," Shen Qingyun smiled. "As far as I can see, no matter how big the matter is, it shouldn't be a problem for Fellow Daoist Lu, right?"

Now that you've said it, what else can I say?
Rousseau said calmly, "That's true, but if Fellow Daoist Shen knows anything about it, please let me know, so that things don't escalate later."

This is probably the true demeanor of a master in the cultivation world; we can't learn it at all.

Shen Qingyun secretly admired him and nodded, saying, "Of course, next..."

“You don’t need to worry about that anymore,” Rousseau said. “The old master Jin Xiang just came to see me and said he would help me.”

Are you, a local tyrant from the Seven Realms, going to help a stranger from the Sixth Realm?

Shen Qingyun opened his mouth, stood up and said with a smile, "Then I'm relieved. I wish Fellow Daoist Lu a swift success. Farewell!"

After leaving Fellow Daoist Lu's cave, Shen Qingyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, though he was somewhat disgruntled.

"I didn't expect Senior Tian to pick me out..."

It's too late now. The insults have already been delivered, and there's no going back.

After thinking for a moment, he turned to face Elder Tian's cave and bowed deeply.

"Senior has shown great kindness and taken care of this junior, but this junior has failed to appreciate it, blind to the good intentions... Eh? Senior Lan? Senior Lan, please don't misunderstand, this junior is scolding himself..."

Lan Lan smiled upon hearing this: "Your performance at the surrender ceremony was outstanding, why be so demanding of yourself?"

How am I supposed to bring this up?!

Shen Qingyun forced a smile and said, "I have long heard that there are green mountains beyond mountains and blue skies beyond skies, so I dare not slack off in the slightest..."

"Hmm," Lan Lan sighed softly, "Now that this matter is settled, I also plan to return to my sect. Young Master, if you have time in the future, I hope you will visit Lan Lan Stream more often. As for Xiao Lian, since we are classmates, I hope you will take good care of her..."

Shen Qingyun said with a wry smile, "Senior should say this to Xiaobai. She didn't even react when I said it to her."

"Hehe," Lan Lan chuckled, "With you two teasing each other like this, I can finally relax..."

The two chatted for a few more minutes before Lanlan took her leave and prepared to return to Lanlanjian.

As for the catwoman's less-than-ideal situation in the Tianxuan Sect, that's none of Shen Qingyun's business.

Seeing that Shen Qingyun hadn't mentioned the catwoman at all, Lan Lan gave up her idea of sending a message to Bai Xiaolian to secretly take care of her.

More and more people were saying goodbye.

The bigwigs of the Ten Directions Alliance were also exchanging communication talismans with the bigwigs of the Five Regions.

It must be said that the Ten Directions Alliance also benefited somewhat from the joyous atmosphere of the surrender ceremony.

"After the New Year, holding a trade fair involving the five regions at Guixu Gate seems feasible..."

After the bigwigs finished their work, the members of the Ten Directions Alliance also prepared to leave.

This time, the Golden Ancestor did not appear.

However, Elder Sun of the Jinxiang Sect also gave them a great deal of face.

Not only did they send off the group with more than a dozen elders, but the gifts they presented also came from all ten parties of the Ten Directions Alliance.

Especially the wolf king...

"Fellow Daoist Wolf King," Elder Sun said affectionately, "from now on, treat the Golden Phase Sect as your own home. If you miss home, come back and visit..."

The wolf king was sweating profusely: "If I don't achieve something great, I won't have the face to face my fellow villagers. Farewell, farewell..."

The spirit boat left the Jinxiang Sect and headed straight for the Chu-Han Immortal Dynasty.

Upon reaching the border, Xie Shaohuang returned to Yingdu alone.

The group from the Ten Directions Alliance continued northward and met Fellow Daoist Lu, who had gone ahead, and Ancestor Jinxiang in Beizhou County.

Before Shen Qingyun could even say hello, he heard a burst of laughter.

Turning my head, I saw a huge monitor.

There are two people on the monitor.

First, there are the Blackwater people.

First, there is Qin Moju.

Qin Moju was laughing heartily.

Everyone began to purse their lips and recall the sorrows of their lives.

The Chu-Han cultivators, however, began to exclaim in various surprises.
