Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 504 Past Promise
The sky was bright, the breeze was gentle, and in the slanting light, more than ten figures were vaguely visible above the Spirit Lake in the distance, roughly forming a circle. The focus was on the figures of three people among them.

The three men were of similar stature. The one on the east was wearing an ordinary Shanhe Taoist robe, with a handsome and upright face. At this moment, he was pursing his lips, holding the long sword tightly in his hand, and looking at the opponent opposite him.

The two people on the west side were twins, with very similar appearances and figures. At this moment, they also had a solemn look as if facing a great enemy. It was obvious that the handsome man put a lot of pressure on them.

"Junior Brother Yu has achieved great success in swordsmanship and his realm is not bad. If the Liu brothers want to win, it will not be an easy task."

"No, no, Junior Brother Liu is very tactful. Together, the two of them once defeated Senior Brother Sun, who was at the twelfth level of Qi Condensation. Senior Brother Yu is only at the eleventh level, how could he be spared?"

"Junior Brother Han, what you said, do you think that realm is absolute? Little do you know that my junior brother's master, Elder Lingyuan, once defeated a late Jindan True Person with a mid-stage realm!

Such grace, every time I think of it, I am fascinated by it..."

"But speaking of it, you and I also had the opportunity to become Elder Lingyuan's disciples. What a pity..."

While the onlookers were talking, the fight had already begun.

The Liu brothers shouted together, and with their magic power, they shot out a fire snake as thick as a bucket. The snake wandered in the void and approached Yu Chengduan in the blink of an eye.

The Fire Snake Spell is a high-level spell. In the hands of the two of them, it was as if cast by one person. The two fire snakes intertwined, and the power suddenly increased greatly!
Yu Chengduan was not unfamiliar with this. He swung his sword calmly, and a golden crescent-shaped sword energy shot out, and he immediately stepped forward.

"call out!"

The sword energy was swift and sharp, and it passed through the head of the fire snake in an instant.

Seeing this, everyone was secretly amazed: "Junior Brother Yu's Gengjin sword energy is getting sharper..."

The two fire snakes lost their heads, but the expected collapse of the fire snakes did not happen. Instead, due to the shaking of fire energy, extremely hideous snake heads grew back from the broken heads!

"This is... the Fire Snake Technique at the Grand Perfection stage! The Liu brothers have actually mastered the Fire Snake Technique to the highest level!"

Everyone exclaimed and looked at the Liu brothers who were already showing smug expressions.

Yu Chengduan also frowned. No wonder the Liu brothers were so confident. It turned out that their magic skills had improved...

"Hahaha... Junior Brother Yu, three months ago my brother and I were defeated by you. After returning, we reflected on our mistakes and unexpectedly reached the realm of great perfection. Speaking of which, I really have to thank you!"

The Liu brothers laughed out loud and sighed, as if they wanted to vent the frustration they had felt for the past three months.

Hearing this, Yu Chengduan chuckled and said, "Since you two brothers are so polite, I can't just remain silent. I'll help you one more time!"

With a shout, his Taoist robe rustled, and while summoning his magic power, Yu Chengduan waved the sword in his hand repeatedly, and streams of Gengjin sword energy shot up into the sky. Not only that, there was even some water-based sword energy mixed in!

For a moment, sword energy filled the sky, and the two fire snakes were chopped to pieces. The fire energy dissipated, but there was no possibility of them holding on...

At this moment, everyone in the field was stunned, including the Liu brothers, who looked at Yu Chengduan who was swinging his sword wantonly with surprise.

Its magical power is so strong that it far exceeds that of three months ago.

"Junior Brother Yu... you actually... actually broke through to the twelfth level?"

Reaching the twelfth level of Qi Condensation at the age of eighteen is rare even in a Taoist sect like Fushan Changhe.

Everyone was surprised, and then they remembered who Yu Chengduan's master was, and couldn't help feeling a little envious.

He has made great efforts on his own, and his master is a Jindan Zhenren who has been gaining momentum in recent years. It can be predicted that his future is bright!
"Congratulations, Junior Brother Yu..." Everyone congratulated him one after another, but it was unclear how much of their congratulations were true or false.

Yu Chengduan didn't bother to argue. He laughed heartily, then sheathed his sword and said, "Junior brother, you are also lucky. Thanks to the help of our mentor, you can practice on Yunze Island. That's why you have made such progress. I can't compare to the solid foundation of my fellow brothers."

Everyone curled their lips when they heard this, knowing that it was just a polite remark. Everyone knew that he practiced very hard just to prove that he was qualified to be the disciple of Elder Lingyuan.

Above the clouds, Chen Mu nodded and smiled, then slowly lowered the light of escape.

The people on the field seemed to notice something and turned their heads to look. After seeing the figure of the person coming, their faces suddenly changed and they quickly stood still and saluted.

"We have met Elder Lingyuan..."

Yu Chengduan was also delighted, but he remained extremely calm and respectful as he saluted, saying, "Disciple greets Master."

Chen Mu nodded slightly, smiled and encouraged everyone a few words, then waved his sleeves and turned to enter the Huxinling Pavilion.

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although Chen Mu acted kind and did not act oppressively, they were still burdened by his reputation and felt great pressure in his presence.

But this is not their fault. After all, even if their master who is at the foundation building stage is in front of Chen Mu, he might be extremely respectful and dare not even breathe...

"Junior Brother Yu, since Elder Lingyuan has returned from seclusion, we should not continue to bother him. We will take our leave now."

After chatting for a few more words, everyone said goodbye and left one after another.

After everyone had left, Yu Chengduan regained his composure and tiptoed into the pavilion.

Although he had been Chen Mu's disciple for eight years, he had not met Chen Mu very often.

In the early days, he could often receive guidance and instruction from his master, but after Chen Mu's practice got on the right track, he could only go in to pay his respects once a year.

Therefore, his nervous mood was not much better than that of his fellow disciples just now.

Before he even entered the sect, Sun Chengxian had given him many warnings, saying that being able to become a disciple of his master was a great fortune, and that he must never slack off, lest he let down this opportunity to achieve enlightenment.

After he became a disciple, what he saw and heard also confirmed his words. The master had a high reputation and was known to almost everyone, especially those fellow disciples who came from poor backgrounds and had no connections, all of whom admired and revered him.

He was naturally proud of this, but it also invisibly increased his pressure. If he didn't perform well, wouldn't he lose face for his master?

So he practiced hard and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Fortunately, his hard work paid off. After eight years of practicing Taoism, he had already reached the twelfth level of Qi Condensation and mastered the Gengjin Sword Technique. This should be enough to silence everyone...

Chen Mu looked up and saw Yu Chengduan, who was very respectful below, and felt quite satisfied.

To have reached the current level with such excellent aptitude, it is obvious that he has never slacked off in his daily life, which shows that he has a deep heart towards the Tao.

He nodded and thought to himself, "Now that I've successfully emerged from seclusion, my next plan is to refine the third-level spiritual lake. After that, I need to fulfill my promise to Grandmaster Shuiyun. Before I leave, I have to arrange for my disciple's advancement..."

He has not forgotten the promise he made to Master Shuiyun in his early years. After all, the Great Five Elements Zhoutian Mystical Art played a great role in his current achievements.
