I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 684 Reunion with Martial Uncle

Yanyang County is one of the eight major counties in Xuanyue Prefecture.

Every day, cultivators and immortals from various races come and go, making it extremely busy.

This day.

An inconspicuous fairy boat appeared on the horizon to the north of the city.

"Master, Yanyang County City is just ahead!" On the immortal boat, Yan Ling walked behind Xia Daoming, bowed and whispered.

"After flying across the land of Xuanyue Prefecture for eight years, we have finally arrived at Yanyang County City." Xia Daoming gazed at the majestic county city and sighed.

"Lieyao Mountain is located south of the county town. Should we enter the city first, or go around the city and head straight for Lieyao Mountain?" Yanling asked for instructions.

“The city is a melting pot of people from all directions, with various factions vying for power. It’s the most well-informed place. Let’s go into the city first to gather information, and then we can go to Lieyao Mountain to take a look,” Xia Daoming said.

"Yes, sir!" Yan Ling bowed and accepted the order.

After a while.

The group entered the county town.

The Yanyang Shangjun County has the Heavenly Court government offices and military garrisons, which are not only well-organized but also bustling with people.

Xia Daoming is now a high-level cultivator, and he is accompanied by a group of low- and mid-level True Immortals. If he were to appear in Xiajun County, it would inevitably cause a sensation.

However, in the capital city of Shangjun, such situations were commonplace and would not attract much attention from others.

"Let's find a suitable inn or restaurant to stay in first, and while we're at it, let's gather some information!" Xia Daoming said, looking around as he walked.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly shuddered and stared intently at a celestial inn at the end of the street.

Among the many restaurants and inns, that restaurant was quite ordinary.

But the signboard of that inn had four large characters: Qingyuan Immortal Inn.

The handwriting exudes a majestic and imposing aura, like a mountain.

Yan Ling and the others followed Xia Daoming's gaze, puzzled.

However, Zhong Lishuyun and the other disciples of Qingyuan Sect were all greatly shocked, just like Xia Daoming.

"That, that's Master's handwriting! There's absolutely no mistake!" Tong Li exclaimed excitedly.

"That's right, it's my senior uncle's handwriting. He's also in the Immortal Inn!" Xia Daoming said excitedly, and then rushed towards the Qingyuan Immortal Inn.

Most of the taverns and inns in the county town are equipped with protective formations to prevent divine sense from spying on them.

Qingyuan Immortal Inn is no exception.

However, Xia Daoming had already opened up the Purple Mansion, so this level of restrictive formation was useless to him.

Just now, his divine sense had silently bypassed the restrictive formation, scanned every corner of Qingyuan Immortal Inn, and detected Yue Huang's aura.

In the backyard of Qingyuan Immortal Inn, Yue Huang was cultivating with his eyes closed when he suddenly sensed four familiar auras. He abruptly opened his eyes, and in a flash, he appeared in the main hall of the inn.

As soon as he appeared in the main hall of the Immortal Inn, Yue Huang stared intently at Xia Daoming, his eyes reddening.

Seeing the elders he respected, Xia Daoming was overwhelmed with emotion, and his nose tingled with tears.

Zhong Lishuyun and others were also unable to contain their emotions.

As Yue Huang's personal disciple, Tong Li's eyes were filled with tears, and she knelt down to pay her respects.

"Disciple bows..."

"Let's talk about this in the backyard!"

Yue Huang woke up with a start, and with a flick of his sleeve, an invisible force lifted Tong Li up.

With great excitement, everyone followed Yue Huang to the backyard.

The backyard is secluded and quiet, serving as Yue Huang's private cultivation cave. It is protected by a restriction array he personally set up, preventing outsiders from entering or spying on it.

"Disciple greets Sect Leader!" "Disciple greets Master!"

"Shuyun greets Senior Brother Headmaster!"

In the backyard, Xia Daoming and the others greeted each other with a deep bow.

"Good! I knew you were still alive!"

Yue Huang ignored Zhong Lishu and the others, and before Xia Daoming could actually kneel down, he stepped forward and held his hands up, finally unable to hold back his tears.

Even though Zhongli Shuyun was his junior sister, Yue Huang, as the sect leader and senior brother, could accept her grand bow after a long separation. Only Xia Daoming, whom Yue Huang always regarded as a junior disciple, did not dare to accept a single bow from him.

"It is your unfilial piety that has caused your master to worry!" Xia Daoming did not insist on kneeling, but instead grabbed Yue Huang's hand, patted it heavily, and said emotionally.

"It's all because we're useless that you have to take on everything yourself. If we were more capable, you wouldn't have had to risk your life back then!" Yue Huang said with a face full of shame and self-reproach.

"Uncle-Master, let's not stand on ceremony. Aunt and the others are very concerned about you!" Xia Daoming quickly interrupted upon seeing this.

Yue Huang then suddenly realized that Zhong Li Shuyun and the others were still kneeling on the ground and had not gotten up.

"Junior sister, what are you doing? Get up, get up! All of you get up too!" Yue Huang hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhongli Shuyun up, and then instructed Tong Li and the others to get up as well.

Everyone then stood up.

"Come, come, sit down and talk! Daoming, sit with me." Yue Huang pulled Xia Daoming to sit with him, while Zhongli Shuyun and the others sat on either side.

As soon as he sat down, Yue Huang couldn't wait to ask about Xia Daoming's experiences after he left and never returned.

Xia Daoming briefly recounted the events of his life over the years.

Yue Huang was naturally deeply moved upon hearing this.

"Uncle-Master, what's the situation on your end? I heard that Uncle-Master Xiao, Xiao Xuan, and Lu Ziying, the four of you, entered Nanzhen Jishan together back then. Did they ascend to the Immortal Realm with you?" Xia Daoming asked with concern.

"Yes, yes! The four of us ascended to the Immortal Realm together." Yue Huang nodded with a smile, then suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Do you still remember the Candle Dragon Soil and Candle Dragon Grass you brought back from the Forbidden Land of the Sacred Ruins?"

"Of course I remember," Xia Daoming nodded.

"That soil and that grass are truly magical! Back when your master, Wen Yue, and others were cultivating in that medicinal garden, they all stimulated a wisp of Yin-Yang essence and made great progress in their cultivation."

Later, my senior uncle Xiao and I also successively activated a wisp of Yin-Yang essence, greatly improved our cultivation, and entered Nanzhen Jishan ahead of your senior aunt and the others.

That wisp of Yin-Yang essence continued to exert its effects even after we ascended to the Immortal Realm. It not only nourished our bodies, making them stronger day and night, but also provided divine assistance in our cultivation and comprehension of the Heavenly Dao.

"Thanks to that wisp of Yin-Yang essence, the four of us quickly gained a foothold in the Earthly Immortal Realm and obtained several great opportunities, which allowed us to advance all the way to the eleventh stage of cultivation!" Yue Huang said.

"I can't believe this happened!" Xia Daoming exclaimed in surprise.

“Yes!” Yue Huang nodded, then looked at Zhongli Shuyun, Tong Li and Luo Mu with some doubt and said, “Could it be that you didn’t mention this to Daoming? Could it be that you didn’t activate that wisp of Yin-Yang essence later? If so, it is truly remarkable that you were able to cultivate to your current level in just three thousand years.”

"No, not many years after you left, the Candle Dragon Soil gradually dried up and cracked, and the Candle Dragon Grass also withered. Now it is probably completely dead."

"Our rapid progress to our current level is largely thanks to Daoming. More than twenty years ago, I was only at the Sixth Stage!" Zhongli Shuyun said.

"What! You're already at the Eighth Assembly Realm, with your immortal energy surging and your foundation solid. It seems you're only half a step away from the Ninth Assembly Realm. In just over twenty years, you've already crossed two Assembly Realms in succession!" Yue Huang exclaimed in surprise.

“It’s very difficult for us to advance two realms in just over twenty years, but with Daoming’s help, it’s a different story. Speaking of which, more than twenty years ago, Tong Li was only at the fifth realm!” Zhongli Shuyun said with a smile.

"What? Does that mean Tong Li has crossed three realms in a row? This is too shocking! After all, Dao Ming only seems to be at the tenth realm. Could it be that Dao Ming is hiding his true cultivation level?" Yue Huang was even more surprised when he heard this.

“Master, you know what Senior Brother was capable of before. How can you judge his true strength by his apparent cultivation level? Besides, Senior Brother is truly skilled in the Great Dao of Body Refinement!” Tong Li said with a smile when she saw Yue Huang’s surprised expression.

Upon hearing this, Yue Huang was stunned for a moment, then slapped his forehead and looked at Xia Daoming with curiosity and anticipation: "Look at my brain, how did I become so stupid after coming to the Immortal Realm! Daoming, tell me honestly now, what is your strength?"

“The Immortal Realm is teeming with powerful figures, so I dare not act rashly. Therefore, I myself am not sure of my current strength,” Xia Daoming said with a smile.

"With the Ninth Assembly Realm and the Body Refinement Realm, can one fight against a Twelfth Assembly True Immortal?" Yue Huang thought for a moment and asked.

　That concludes today's update.
