From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 478 Return to Baiyun
The morning light gilded the farmlands and rivers below, and the mountains, rivers, and towns were looming in the clouds. The rosy glow spread out like silk and connected with the sky and the earth, creating a mysterious and magnificent scene.

Li Yang looked at the mountain scenery in the morning light, thinking about the conversation he had with Zhang Ling last night.

The information he heard that night was so much, so chaotic, and so mixed that when he thinks about it now, it still feels like a dream.

That was the Heavenly Master, an ancient man who lived two thousand years ago. He actually sat down with him and discussed philosophy and talked about the past, present and future of China.

Li Yang did not believe everything Zhang Ling said. He wanted to check and find out for himself.

As for suppressing my cultivation… According to my current progress in cultivation, I still have nearly 500,000 experience points to earn. If I follow the routine and practice year after year, it will take at least 50 years. However, the enemy of the so-called 'Extreme Realm' will arrive within 20 years. How can I suppress it?

This is also a contradiction. Li Yang was puzzled. According to the information he got from searching the soul of 'Chongdao Immortal Lord', the boundary jade will be opened in ten years at most, and the boundary gate will be opened in twenty years. However, according to the information revealed by Zhang Ling, it will take at least another sixty years.

Li Yang didn't know who was right or wrong, and he didn't want to speculate maliciously about the Longhu Mountain Patriarch who had worked so hard to cross the border and return.

However, according to Zhang Ling's description, these ancient celestial masters and Taoist ancestors had a very hard time in the Jizhen Realm, hiding from place to place every day, and the information they obtained with great effort might not be accurate.

'Chongdao Immortal Lord' is a high-ranking figure in that sect, and the information he possesses is definitely more authentic and reliable than that of Zhang Ling and the other 'evil demons from outside the domain'.

Li Yang suppressed his thoughts and believed what he heard. No matter what, between sixty years and ten years, Li Yang did not dare to take risks. The Chinese officials of the Taoist Alliance and himself would be ready to fight against one or even several extraterritorial immortals in ten years.

In a moment, Li Yang had caught a glimpse of the outline of Baiyun Mountain.

It was early morning, and the sea of ​​clouds was like a lake hanging upside down, pouring down between the mountains. The palaces and temples on the mountains were looming among the clouds and mist. It was even more majestic than when he was in seclusion ten years ago, with a solemn and ethereal fairy-like atmosphere.

Li Yang went out to search for the boundary gate for half a month and stayed on Mount Longhu for another night. The Second Global Monks Cultural Exchange Conference had ended and all the envoys from various countries had returned home.

Despite this, the hustle and bustle of the mountain in front of Baiyun was even greater than when Li Yang left the mountain. The morning light was reflected in the lingering green smoke into a golden and purple haze.

There was already a long queue of disciples lined up on the mountain path. When they saw Li Yang's sword light from afar, they cheered loudly.

Li Yang did not stop, but jumped over the front mountain and landed on the back mountain.

Sensing Li Yang's presence, Chi Yanhong came out of the Yuchan Hall in a white robe to greet him. Seeing the frowning Li Yang from afar, he asked softly:
"What's wrong with you? You don't look well?"

"nothing."

Li Yang shook his head and decided to keep it secret for the time being.

After all, the information he got from Zhang Ling was questionable and only one-sided. He had to verify it clearly before contacting the Taoist Alliance and the Chinese officials. Otherwise, if he spoke out rashly now, it would only cause unnecessary panic.

Chi Yanhong frowned, but did not point out Li Yang's mistake.

Li Yang smiled slightly, gently grasped Chi Yanhong's icy soft hand, and swept away the haze on his face.
"I heard that you just came back from the Universe Kingdom a few days ago and made a big show of yourself?"

The two walked into the Yuchan Palace side by side. Chi Yanhong blushed, but then quickly returned to his usual cold and aloof appearance.

“Powerful? They bullied Baiyun Mountain first, and I just crippled a few of their Xiantian Heaven Lords… Without those Xiantians, they will be more restrained in the future.”

What Chi Yanhong said was normal, but when she went there, she almost pulled out all the masters of the Universe Country and destroyed their cultivation, which caused an uproar internationally.

The Universe Country is going crazy. This is a nation with a very sensitive self-esteem. Its citizens are biting like mad dogs in the international arena, but when faced with interviews, the official level dared not say a word...

Li Yang nodded in agreement: "Okay, this seems to be your style." Chi Yanhong rolled his eyes at Li Yang: "Tsk, if I didn't go, it's as if you wouldn't go either."

Li Yang said nothing, just touched his nose.

Chi Yanhong covered his mouth and smiled, then said: "By the way, all the former disciples of Baiyun Mountain who were traveling outside to do missions have returned to the mountain. You can do whatever you want with the pie you drew."

"What do you mean by the pie I drew?"

"Someone once said that he would accept disciples and pass on his teachings the following year, but he ended up shutting himself up for ten years right after he said that. Isn't this just empty talk?"

Li Yang scratched his head and said with a smile: "Well... I have my own plan. Let's talk about it after all the disciples are here. Since I have said it, I will not break my promise."

After a moment's silence, Li Yang said, "Let Wang Xin and Zi Yao issue a summons order to summon all the Qi Ling disciples who are out on missions to return to the mountain. I have something to announce to them."

Chi Yanhong nodded after hearing this: "That's fine... I'll be in seclusion for ten years. I also want to see how the disciples below are doing in the next ten years. I'll go find Wang Xin and the others now..."

After saying that, Chi Yanhong tried hard, but found that he couldn't get rid of the claws that were holding his hand. When he raised his eyes, he was met with Li Yang's harmless and righteous eyes.

"?"

"Friend Li, where are you taking me? Aren't we going to inform Wang Xin now?"

She was answered by the sound of a door slamming.

When he met Li Yang's eyes again, Chi Yanhong's cold and fair face turned red.
Chi Yanhong pretended to be calm and said, "Friend Li, it's only early morning, why are you closing the door?"

Li Yang shook his head: "There's no need to rush this. I need to think about it carefully."

After finishing his words, Li Yang looked at Chi Yanhong seriously, and said solemnly: "After ten years of seclusion, I still have some important things to discuss with Fellow Daoist Chi."

Chi Yanhong's face flushed even more, no longer as cold as before: "Friend Li, where are you taking me?"

"Friend Li, the room in front doesn't seem to be my room?"

"Friend Li... I'm going to meditate..."

"Li Dao... um... well..."
-
White clouds behind the mountains, at dusk.

As dusk spread over the mountain ridge from west to east, clouds were rising from the mountainside. At first, they were just a few wisps of light blue gauze wrapped around the fir branches, gradually condensing into fluffy clouds, climbing up along the steep rock wall.

When these fluffy clouds merged into the surging waves on the top of the mountain, the wooden door of the Yuchan Palace creaked open, and a female Taoist in a white robe walked out slowly. Her fair face was rosy when she flew up on her sword.

The Taoist in green robe, whose legs were a little weak, walked out with his hands on his waist, looked at the sword light in the sky, smiled casually, then flew up on his sword and followed closely.

On the same day, Baiyun Taoist Temple issued its first internal decree in ten years, summoning the Qi Ling disciples scattered across the mountains and rivers of China to return to the mountains.

A single stone caused a thousand ripples. The clouds formed between the mountains and the city was bustling. Nearly a hundred Qi Ling disciples crossed the river and entered the sea, embarking on the journey back to Baiyun Mountain.
