The daily life of a genius who enjoys gossip and cultivates immortality

Chapter 155 Mahayana Ritual 13

"They're here! They're here!"

As the voice rang out, all the guests in the hall turned their attention to the front.

The first thing that catches the eye is four female disciples holding bright pearls. The pearls are warm and dazzling, reflecting the moonlight and making the procession clearly visible in the dark night!

Next came the guarding disciples, and in the very center were two magnificent carriages, their figures barely visible.

One could only feel the oppressive aura emanating from the two vehicles, as if standing on the edge of an abyss, causing everyone in the hall to involuntarily lower their heads.

The magnificent carriage, and the three disciples standing beside it with extremely intimate manners, directly entered the eyes of the disciples who were following their ancestor.

They immediately recognized the three disciples as the ones who had stood aloof and arrogant, only receiving Mahayana Immortal Lords, while they and their ancestors didn't even have the right to be received by them.

A powerful sense of bitterness, jealousy, and envy nearly overwhelmed the disciples attending the banquet.

They are the same age, yet they can only look up to each other from here.

The images of Cheng Jiu and his two companions were deeply etched into the hearts of those innocent young disciples, filling them with admiration and longing.

How wonderful it would be if one day they could become the main characters!

Inside the reception hall, several Mahayana Immortal Lords sensed the arrival of the ceremonial guard and ceased their battle!

Immortal Lord Lingguang took out a round mirror, which reflected the scene that had just occurred.

"Is this Qingxu's disciple? I heard Qingxu praise him so much back on Canglan Peak that I was practically sick of it! Now that I see him, I can confirm that what he said was true. He truly has the same excellent looks as the Qingxu lineage."

A green-robed immortal looked at Cheng Jiu in the mirror and praised him.

"I'm telling you, when are you going to get rid of this habit of judging people by their looks first!" Immortal Lord Fengjue rolled his eyes at the other party speechlessly.

“I can’t change it!” Immortal Lord Qiu Hong rolled his eyes at Immortal Lord Feng Jue: “If I really changed, you would probably lose a friend. With your temper, I can only tolerate it because of your face.”

“What’s wrong with my temper? Ling Guang, look at him. He just admitted it right away. You should block him as soon as possible. After all, you usually focus on refining weapons and cultivating your body. Who knows, one day you might lose your composure and he might unilaterally cut you off and break your heart.” Feng Jue Immortal Lord complained, pointing at Qiu Hong Immortal Lord.

Lingguang Immortal Lord rolled his eyes: "Don't drag me into your battle. I'm just an ordinary weapon refiner."

As for color, Immortal Lord Lingguang was quite self-aware; ever since he broke through the Body Refinement Realm, he no longer met Immortal Lord Qiuhong's aesthetic standards.

Upon hearing this, Immortal Lord Qiu Hong smiled and said, "Ling Guang's temper is much better than yours!"

Does that mean you don't have any self-awareness?

Feng Jue Immortal Lord spoke with an air of self-righteousness, his handsome face held high: "I am very popular, with friends all over the world! I don't need you!"

"Alright, I'll take one more!" Immortal Lord Qiu Hong smoothly smoothed things over and changed the subject: "Qingyang disciples are also quite handsome!"

"What do you think of Gong Sidao's son?" Sui Rong Immortal Lord rolled his eyes.

Qiu Hong Xianjun's voice was filled with surprise: "Gong Sidao's son? He actually has a son, and with whom?"

Does Gong Sidao actually have a Daoist partner?

"In all these years, besides Song Qing, have you ever seen anyone else by his side? The two of them have long been Daoist partners, and you didn't even know that?" Immortal Lord Sui Rong looked at him in surprise. Even someone he didn't get along with knew this, so how could Immortal Lord Qiu Hong seem completely unaware?

Upon hearing this, Qiu Hongxianjun blurted out, "Didn't he say that Song Qing was his sister? And when I told him I wanted to pursue Song Qing, he even gave me advice!"

"..." The immortal lords present fell into an unspeakable silence.

Song Qing was very popular back then. Although she was just a rogue cultivator, she had a lively and cheerful personality, excellent medical skills, strong abilities, and was reliable. Whenever they teamed up to enter secret realms, they were willing to invite her.

It would be a lie to say that some of the Mahayana Immortal Lords present were not moved by her at the time.

However, there was already an evil dragon guarding the pearl. Ever since they met Song Qing, Gong Sidao had always been by her side.

Before they officially became a couple, there was no ambiguity between them, but Gong Sidao always protected her very well. Anyone with eyes could see that their relationship was clear, and any feelings that might arise would be dispelled through their interactions.

Who would have thought that someone would actually tell Gong Sidao that they were pursuing Song Qing? No wonder they didn't inform him when they were forming a contract; who would want to invite a love rival when forming a contract?

"And then?" Immortal Lord Fengjue asked cautiously. He had no idea such a fascinating story! Ah, what a misunderstanding! If only he could travel back in time, he wanted to witness it firsthand!

"I got beaten up!" Qiu Hongxianjun said with a hint of grievance, "Gong Sidao suggested that I send a Nine-Colored Cold Cloud Lotus."

This flower was incredibly famous back then, especially the moment it bloomed, which was hailed as one of the most coveted sights for female cultivators in the cultivation world.

I had no doubts, so I spent a lot of money to buy it and I even raised it for a long time, just waiting for the moment it bloomed so I could propose to Song Qing.

Who would have thought that this Nine-Colored Cold Cloud Ephemeral Flower was the Flower of the Underworld? Song Qing thought I was teasing her, so she beat me up.

"Didn't you go to find Gong Sidao afterward?" Feng Jue Xianjun's gaze towards Qiu Hong Xianjun had changed at this moment.

He remembered that the Nine-Colored Cold Cloud Ephemeral was just a gimmick used by merchants to fool fools. Once people knew where the Nine-Colored Cold Cloud Ephemeral came from, basically no female cultivator would like it.

He remembered that the person behind the hype surrounding the Nine-Colored Cold Cloud Ephemeral Flower seemed to be Gong Sidao.

I don't know where he found a whole bunch of Nine-Colored Cold Cloud Ephemeral, but this thing has no other use besides being pretty, and its origin is also unlucky, so it's basically useless.

His gaze was filled with pity; it turned out there really were fools who believed it.

Qiu Hong Xianjun was still lost in the past: "I went to look for her, but Gong Sidao said that Song Qing knew my feelings, but I wasn't her type. She asked him to apologize to me because of what happened that night." He sighed as he spoke: "You can't force feelings!"

The immortal lords present all looked at him like he was an idiot. No wonder Qiu Hong Immortal Lord was not the type to stay at home, yet he rarely went out. How could anyone feel at ease with that? He was the type who had been completely fooled and was even paying for it.

Some immortals who were unfamiliar with Qiu Hong Xianjun had their impression of him completely shattered.

Sui Rongxianjun looked at him with a sense of shared misery, thinking to himself, "That guy has completely fooled this fool."

"Sister Song Qing's children!" Immortal Lord Biyuan looked at Gongcheng and Gongyu in the mirror with a different gaze, filled with affection and tenderness: "I didn't even get to chat with these two children or catch up with them before I came!"

"Why didn't Sister Song Qing inform Pearl Sea about giving birth? It would have been nice if we aunts could have done our part!" said Immortal Bixia with some regret.

"It must be that petty guy Gong Sidao. Sister Song Qing must have been deceived by him."

"It was just a little joke. That guy is so stingy. He didn't even invite us to the contract, and he didn't even tell us when Sister Song Qing had her baby. It's too much." Immortal Lord Biluo's tone was indignant.

"How could that guy deserve such a wonderful sister like Song Qing!"

"Is Song Qing from your Pearl Sea?" Actually, Song Qing and Gong Sidao are quite mysterious.

One of them claimed to be from a small town, but when his aptitude was tested, he was harassed by the disciple in charge and forced to become a rogue cultivator.

Song Qing was someone he picked up during his training, and the two stayed together ever since.

Both were independent cultivators, but neither had adopted a Daoist name. Gong Sidao said that he had chosen his own name, while Song Qing seemed to have a family tradition of it.

However, the fact that a rogue cultivator could improve his cultivation faster than them, and even ascend to immortality much earlier, aside from the fact that the two were exceptionally talented, meant that none of the Immortal Lords believed in his background.

After all, no matter how outstanding one's talent is, no one can cultivate as fast as these two, even faster than those of them who have the support of their families and sects.

For independent cultivators, financial difficulties are a major obstacle, and choosing the right cultivation method in the early stages is a hurdle. But the most amazing thing is that the two of them never changed their cultivation methods.

Bi Yuan Immortal Lord shook his head regretfully: "We don't have the honor of being associated with Sister Song Qing."

They had interacted during their training, but unfortunately, he was too reckless back then, wanting to kidnap Sister Song Qing and make her the leader of Pearl Sea.

When they learned that to become the leader, one had to have three husbands and four concubines, they sent several young and beautiful women, which scared the other party away.

The immortal lords were also familiar with the customs of Pearl Sea. Immortal Lord Sui Rong was quite gloating. It was fortunate that Song Qing was somewhat conservative, otherwise he would have had three husbands and four concubines. With so many beauties, he might have forgotten about that old bark Gong Sidao.

Gongcheng and Gongyu were unaware that because of them, the seniors in the reception hall suddenly started talking about their parents' past. Li Weixin said he was very satisfied with his meal, and that they were indeed seniors!

At this moment, everyone in the hall stood up and bowed, saying, "Greetings to Immortal Lord Qingxu, greetings to Immortal Lord Qingyang."

A thunderous roar and a powerful aura filled the air. Seated within the chariot was a Great Ascension Immortal Lord, whose strength had reached the pinnacle of the cultivation world. He was revered by all.

The two immortal lords stepped down from their carriages, and a long red carpet stretched all the way to their feet.

The two smiled at each other.

"Let's go together!"

"it is good!"

The Transcending Tribulation Venerable beside him stared at the red carpet, his breath catching in his throat. One of the Transcending Tribulation Venerables, who was with his disciple, held his disciple's hand and said, "Look carefully, and don't get distracted!"

"Yes, Ancestor!" The disciple nodded, seeing the extremely solemn expression on his ancestor's face.

Cheng Jiu and the other two were not qualified to walk on this red carpet, which was called the Enlightenment Carpet.

Each step reveals the cultivator's understanding of the Great Dao. How far one can go depends entirely on one's own strength and comprehension, making it an extremely rare treasure.

This treasure can only be used once, but the insights gained from its use will be preserved for others to worship, learn from, and comprehend, becoming one of the sect's foundational treasures.

This is also a project that all five major sects must have. The materials used to make this carpet are extremely precious, enough to empty the coffers of any force other than the five major sects.

Although the three of them couldn't walk the red carpet, they were able to follow in their master's footsteps and observe up close, a rare and coveted opportunity.

You can observe the enlightenment of the Mahayana immortals up close.

This is also one of the most exciting moments, as it directly demonstrates the strength and talent of a Mahayana cultivator.

Only the most direct comparisons can inspire people to forge ahead!

The two immortal lords walked to opposite sides, each step very steadily. The Dao patterns they left behind were one blue and one gold, clearly distinct and not interfering with each other, each Dao pattern extremely clear.

This clearly demonstrates that both of them possessed solid cultivation foundations.

The guests at the banquet were also immersed in the mystery of these Dao patterns.

After traveling for an unknown period of time, a Venerable One sighed and broke free from his comprehension. Looking at the intricate Dao patterns ahead, he sighed with regret and resentment, saying, "I can only observe this far!"

The Venerable One beside him slowly awoke, unable to advance any further, and sighed with great regret: "I thought I had reached the Tribulation Transcending stage and had achieved some minor success on my path to the Dao, but now it seems I am just an ordinary seeker of the Dao!"

"Two thousand eight hundred and ninety-one steps!" The immortal lord in the reception hall had a deeper understanding. Immortal Lord Sui Rong reported: "Speaking of which, I spent a lot of time and accumulated a lot of opportunities to obtain a piece of Enlightenment Cloth, but I only walked two thousand eight hundred steps!"

Hanging in my family's ancestral hall, it's clear they still can't compare to the people of the five major sects! Qian Li, Tie Xian, Xiao Ming, how many steps did you take back then?

Sui Rong Immortal Lord looked at the only three disciples from the five major sects.

When Elder Tiexian heard someone calling him, he was taken aback and said, "It's not many steps, it should be three thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight steps."

Elder Xiao Ming touched his nose somewhat awkwardly: "I have a little less than Brother Tie Xian, three thousand six hundred steps."

Everyone looked at Immortal Lord Qianli; his aptitude should be better than the other two.

Li Weixin felt everyone's gaze and it was his turn to appear as his apprentice: "Master's is five thousand eight hundred steps."

He followed along once, but unfortunately he didn't know how many steps his master took. He only grasped three hundred steps before he was exhausted, and spent the rest of the time following behind his master.

The exact number of steps is a very mysterious thing. It is possible that the opponent takes one step in reality, but in the realm of cultivation, hundreds of steps have been taken. This number was something he heard from the sect leader.

The greatest role of a disciple is that when others ask about the master's level of attainment, the master is too embarrassed to say how amazing he is, so the disciple should serve him.

As expected, didn't you? He's quite a competent apprentice!

Immortal Lord Qianli looked at his disciple with admiration. He was usually quite unruly, but at this moment he was very perceptive.

The Li family patriarch looked at his younger generation with satisfaction. Not bad, not bad, not just a muscle-bound hothead!

"Five thousand eight hundred steps." The immortal lords present, who had some concept of this, couldn't help but gasp. Sure enough, these guys from the five major sects were freaks.

For a moment, everyone present was shocked. How old were they when they became Mahayana Immortal Lords? How old is Qianli Immortal Lord now? At his age, they were considered to have outstanding talent when they were able to break through to the Dao Integration Realm.

There are so many geniuses! What difference does one more make?

Then, thinking about the two people outside who were about the same age, even though they had already been hurt before, they felt hurt again.

"Compared to you freaks, I'm old!" Immortal Lord Fengjue touched himself and felt that he was getting old.

"Aren't you younger than Gong Sidao?"

Qianli Immortal Lord only knew the name Gong Sidao. Gong Sidao and Song Qing were active in the territory of Guiyuan Sect and a few nearby sects, but they were still far away from Longyuan Sect. The three of them did not have any interaction.

However, he had also heard of these two rogue cultivator geniuses, especially since they were a married couple, which made them even more famous in the cultivation world.

"No, I'm much older than him! It's just that he's stronger, so I call him Brother Gong."

Feng Jue Xianjun rolled his eyes. He knew that when he was in the Dao Integration stage, Gong Sidao was still in the Qi Refining stage. He had never even heard of Gong Sidao at that time.

When the two first met, the other had just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. At that time, he was eager to take them as disciples.

Who would have thought that these two freaks' cultivation levels would increase so rapidly, like drinking water, that they would soon be able to stand on equal footing with them based on their strength alone.

The reason he called Gong Sidao "Brother Gong" was because the other party was strong, and he admired his strength, so he called him that. Of course, it was also because he was not arrogant; otherwise, Gong Sidao would have to call him "senior."

Of course, the other party definitely won't call out, but that's a different matter.

“That is indeed very old!” Immortal Lord Qianli nodded in understanding, after all, Gong Sidao and Song Qing were his seniors.

These words struck a chord with almost every immortal lord present, because few of them were younger than Gong Sidao.

Talent is a mountain full of prejudice; only those standing at its foot know how difficult it is to climb.

"I remember Sister Song Qing is younger than Gong Sidao, right?" Immortal Lord Biyuan recalled.

“It is considerably smaller!” Immortal Lord Qiu Hong nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, birds of a feather flock together, they're all perverts!"

Feng Jue Immortal Lord was so defeated by Qian Li Immortal Lord that he only wanted to fight these freaks, but he didn't realize that he was also someone who was unattainable among his peers.

No matter how bright the sun shines, the moon will never be ignored, never.
