From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 281 Breaking Through the Shackles (asking for monthly tickets~~)

When Chi Yanhong came out of retreat, there were no red clouds all over the sky, nor were there blazing flames covering half the sky.

Just like an ordinary person, she stood up from the cushion in the Yuchan Hall, brushed off the dust on her body, and then the lotus flowers in the hall withered one after another.

If anyone in Baiyun Mountain had to say something unusual, it was only Zhao Ziyao who noticed that the last bit of ice lingering on the roof tiles of the Taoist temple melted into spring water and flowed down along the eaves the moment Chi Yanhong walked out of the Yuchan Hall.

Li Yang led the three little ones from Baiyun Mountain and stood quietly outside the Yuchan Palace, waiting until the white Taoist robe appeared in front of them.

"You're welcome and safe."

"You're welcome and safe."

"Fellow Daoist Chi, you have made a breakthrough."

Li Yang's simple words instantly ignited the cheers of the three little ones behind him.

"Congratulations to Taoist Chi for breaking through the path of cultivation and achieving the status of a True Person!"

"Master is amazing. Now I have risen to prominence and become a disciple of a master of cultivation!"

“Hehehe, Baiyun Mountain now has a human immortal and a Taoist, so I can walk around China with my head held high… Ouch, it hurts, it hurts!”

Li Yang calmly gave a slap to a villain with an evil smile, and then retracted his right hand.

Chi Yanhong nodded silently. He was still a little dizzy because he had been sitting cross-legged for too long.

Her memory still lingers on the moment of the final battle between Li Yang and Shimaki Ling.

However, looking at Li Yang's current appearance, the outcome of that battle is already obvious.

Chi Yanhong sighed with emotion: "I have been seeking the Tao for three years, and now I finally get a glimpse of the Tao. It is really not easy."

However, although her tone was full of emotion, she couldn't suppress the joy on her face.

Li Yang looked strange: "It's not that bad, it's just a breakthrough, is it difficult? How much effort does it take to cultivate a path?"

Chi Yanhong ignored the pretentious aura and famous quotes that someone was emitting. After giving someone a cold look, he took out a small object like a black stone from his sleeve.

"This is the remaining seed of the ancient lotus. Just like last time, it was restored to its seed state after I came out of seclusion. Keep it well. I think there is a big secret in it."

In fact, even without the help of Gu Lian's enlightenment, according to Chi Yanhong's progress, she would be able to break through to the realm of cultivation in one or two years. This Gu Lian just happened to give her the finishing touch, saving her two years of hard work.

Li Yang nodded and put the ancient lotus seed back into the storage ring. He had heard a lot about the seeds from Zhu Ling in the past month and had some guesses in his mind.

"Last time it was three days, this time it's exactly seventy-seven, which is quite special..."

Three and forty-nine are both special numbers in Taoism, which made Li Yang think a lot.

Similarly, Chi Yanhong realized the preciousness of the ancient lotus seeds and thought it would be safest to let Li Yang keep them in a storage ring and carry them with him.

After the two adults finished chatting, the three little ones immediately surrounded them and asked about their well-being (fawning over them like crazy).
"Hey, Taoist Chi, why is your robe covered in dust? Come on, go back and take it off. I'll help you wash it!"

"Come on, you can't even wash your own clothes, and you want to cause trouble to my master?"

Wang Xin was overjoyed. How could his own efforts be as easy and convenient as asking his master to work hard? If he had a good master, his status would naturally rise.

"I'm just showing my appreciation. As a member of Baiyun Mountain, I'm proud of the growing strength of Baiyun Mountain and want to contribute my part!"

"You are a weasel paying New Year's greetings with bad intentions. You have ulterior motives!"

Li Yang looked at the two people arguing with a frown on his face.

I am a human immortal! Do you know what a human immortal is? It is unique in China and the world! Why don’t I see you two washing my clothes so diligently on weekdays?

"Okay, it's just some dust. I'll cast a spell."

Waving his hand to stop a few people, Chi Yanhong continued: "You three can leave first. Fellow Daoist Li Yang and I have something to discuss." With Chi Yanhong's realm, he had already achieved the state of having no odor and no dirt on his body. Even after being in seclusion for nearly fifty days, once the dust on his body was gone, he was immediately the same as before the seclusion.

Even because of the progress in cultivation, the overall temperament has become more ethereal and otherworldly.

Even so, Chi Yanhong went back to the room to change his clothes, put on his silk stockings and shoes again, and then came out in a plain Taoist robe to meet Li Yang.

She was clearly not wearing any makeup, but the moment Chi Yanhong walked out of the room, Li Yang felt that the light in the sky had suddenly become much dimmer.

The three little ones have already left, and now in the Yuchan Hall, there are only Li Yang and Chi Yanhong.

"Let's go. I've been sitting for half a month and my body is numb. Brother Li, can you walk with me in the mountains?"

"Thank you very much."

The two of them exchanged glances constantly, and they had already told each other what they meant without even realizing it, just by looking at each other.

It was evening, and the mountain scenery and the sunset glow were intertwined.

On the mountain road, Li Yang was meticulous and Chi Yanhong looked calm, as if the green forest was still cool.

But both of them knew in their hearts that since their conversation under the moon that night, some things had broken free from the shackles and could no longer be stopped.

There was an evening breeze rushing through the mountains and forests, making a hissing sound.

The sound of two people walking on stone steps could be heard in the forest.

Li Yang and Chi Yanhong talked about his battle with Shima Mu Ling, the island that looked like "Penglai", the man behind the portal that looked like "Sa Shoujian" Sa Tianshi, Qi Qiansu's breakthrough, and the Luotian Grand Ceremony that would be held in Longhu Mountain, Jiangxi in the second half of the year.

Chi Yanhong listened quietly, his eyes like water on his cold face.

Li Yang said a lot until he finally lowered his head and remained silent.

Chi Yanhong raised his head: "You must be... very tired."

"Why do you think so?" Li Yang smiled and said, "They are all in awe and congratulations on my human immortal strength. I am now the number one in China and the world. How can I be tired?"

Chi Yanhong just shook his head: "Even a human immortal will get tired."

"But now, I have it."

When Chi Yanhong said this, she turned her face away so that Li Yang could not see the expression on her face.

Li Yang's heart was moved, and then he fell into silence. A soft place in his heart suddenly trembled.

The two of them continued walking side by side on the mossy stone steps in the mountains, and no one spoke again.

Li Yang has always believed in a saying that a walk between two people of the opposite sex, even if they don't say anything, is the most ambiguous thing in the world.

Water flows slowly and steadily, and warm things are always silent.

At some point, Li Yang's hands and Chi Yanhong's hands were tightly held together below.

The ten fingers and thumbs rubbed together from time to time, as if they were integrated into one, standing tightly together.

Chi Yanhong wanted to struggle at first, twisting his fingers for a long time, but finally he lowered his head and let Li Yang do what he wanted.

When they returned to Yuchan Palace, they had been walking on the mountain road for nearly two hours, stopping and starting.

"We've arrived at the Yuchan Palace!" Someone spoke first, shattering the tranquility of the evening.

Chi Yanhong wanted to break free from someone, but he couldn't pull his hand free, so he had to raise his head and glare at someone angrily.

Li Yang felt the smooth hand, and an irresistible impulse sprouted from the bottom of his heart. He exerted force on his hand and pulled Chi Yanhong towards him.

The fiery clouds in the sky were completely replaced by the night at this moment, and the bright starlight and moonlight were also covered by the clouds.
