Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 164 - 155 Chang Fengzi [Third Night Watch!]

"Reincarnated True Immortal."

"What a significant origin!"

Ren Changsheng sighed, then suddenly asked, "Brother, in your travels away from home these past years, have you heard of the deeds of Chang Fengzi, Sima Han, or Lin Chao?"

"I've been wandering the mortal realm, with little contact with cultivators, so I haven't heard anything."

Lu Qingfeng shook his head, his curiosity piqued, "What about their deeds?"

Ren Changsheng frowned, and recounted to Lu Qingfeng how the three had set out from the north, east, and west, challenging the experts of the great Spiritual Mountains and Immortal Sects, undefeated in their endeavors.

Then, frowning again, he said, "Hearing you speak of the Reincarnated True Immortal, it dawned on me. Could these three be the True Immortals that descended to the mortal world some time ago?"

The Changqing Realm was a place where dragons and snakes rose from the land, and geniuses were born in abundance.

That these three could emerge from the crowd and stand out indicates they are no ordinary beings. The possibility of them being Reincarnated True Immortals seemed the greatest.

"Oh?"

Hearing Ren Changsheng's speculation, Lu Qingfeng became interested, "Do you know which sects or schools these three hail from?"

Ren Changsheng had already investigated this and immediately replied, "Chang Fengzi comes from the Fenghuo Temple in Nine Palace Mountain of Yu Country. Sima Han is from the Dongling Sword Sect of Gui Peak Mountain in Huan Country. Lin Chao is from the Six-Eyed Heavenly Gate of Golden Mountain Ridge in Zheng Country."

The three joined forces and swept across the land with an unstoppable momentum, much like formidable dragons and snakes.

Their origins were certainly no secret.

"I've never heard of Fenghuo Temple, but Dongling Sword Sect and Six-Eyed Heavenly Gate are both major sects."

Lu Qingfeng was now three parts convinced of the three's identity as Reincarnated True Immortals.

The Dongling Sword Sect was said to revere the Thunder Department's East Spirit Prime Minister, a Thunder Department God whose status was far above that of the Soul Searching Ancestor.

The Six-Eyed Heavenly Gate needs no further mention, for it is a lineage handed down by the Six-Eyed Lightning God, also one of the Thunder Department Gods.

As for Fenghuo Temple—

"I recall that on Nine Palace Mountain of Yu Country, there was the Nine Palace Sect, wasn't there?"

Lu Qingfeng was perplexed.

Yu Country lay in the northernmost part of the Central Plains, far from the former Jing Country.

Nine Palace Mountain was the earliest known Spiritual Mountain of Yu Country and also the largest and most profound. The Nine Palace Sect was situated there, with Zhou Mu, its Sect Leader, being one of the first to ascend to the God Realm in earlier years.

A sextant ago, Lu Qingfeng had visited, holding a cordial discourse with Zhou Mu and borrowing many of the Sect's classical texts.

In recent years, he had heard that the Nine Palace Sect's development was positive, producing many Foundation Establishment Cultivators and gaining considerable influence in Yu Country.

So how did a Fenghuo Temple suddenly appear?

"Fenghuo Temple was originally a minor temple on a small Spiritual Mountain within Yu Country. With the rise of Chang Fengzi in recent years, he took over Nine Palace Mountain and expelled the Nine Palace Sect. In the last two years, as Chang Fengzi's reputation has grown, the Incense Fire at Fenghuo Temple has become prosperous, with endless seekers of immortality visiting the mountain."

"The number of disciples and followers has gradually flourished as well."

Ren Changsheng, who managed the secular affairs of Soul Searching Temple, was well-informed of the major developments in the world.

"I see."

Lu Qingfeng now understood.

The Changqing Realm was amidst a great catastrophe, with fortunes changing so rapidly that one could hardly keep up. Just a few years of not paying attention, and he was utterly out of the loop.

"This Fenghuo Temple—"

Lu Qingfeng's eyes revealed deep thought.

If Chang Fengzi was a Reincarnated True Immortal, judging from his age and cultivation level, he must be among the first batch of reincarnated beings.

Being part of the first batch, his background had to be exceedingly powerful, comparable to the Six-Eyed Lightning God and the East Spirit Prime Minister.

And he was named "Wind and Fire."

"Could it be the Wind Fire Primordial Monarch?"

Lu Qingfeng thought of a deity.

The Wind Fire Primordial Monarch, on par with the East Spirit Prime Minister, having True Immortals under both of their tutelage reincarnated at the same time, might indeed make sense.

"Such a profound background, truly extraordinary."

Lu Qingfeng saw that Chang Fengzi and his companions had already become the unrivaled figures of the Changqing Realm and thought of the three Reincarnated True Immortals who had recently joined the Soul Searching Temple, still in their childhood bodies.

I couldn't help but feel emotional.

Ren Changsheng stood by, frowning, "With the Reincarnation of a True Immortal, challenging so many sanctuaries on Spiritual Mountains, all cultivators in the world are discussing this. Observing the trio's route, the final stop is very likely to be our Soul Searching Temple. With the reputation you command across the central plains, if you were to be challenged and defeated, it would be an endless benefit to those three individuals and their three sects!"

The sharper the sword, the clearer the world understands.

Arriving with a momentum of consecutive victories, their aim was to challenge the title of 'The World's First Immortal' bestowed upon the Master of Soul Searching Temple.

To establish an illustrious reputation by stepping on the shoulders of the once number one person in the Changqing Realm.

"Perhaps it's also tied to some mysterious fate."

Lu Qingfeng pondered deeply, gradually solidifying his plans.

...

The old lands of the Jin Country.

White Rock Mountain.

Before the second Heavenly Change, Jin Country had only one emerging spiritual mountain - White Rock Mountain. Within it sat a temple called 'Heavenly Decree Temple'. Once, long ago, the temple housed but a single Taoist who called himself 'White Rock Hermit'.

The White Rock Hermit was not skilled in management but reveled in liquor and making friends from all corners.

He was exceedingly popular.

Yet, he always kept a low profile.

After the Heavenly Change, White Rock Mountain became a spiritual landmark. High-ranking experts from the Jin arrived to conquer the mountain, eyes full of wild ambitions.

Only then did the White Rock Hermit reveal his true strength.

Mastering the inscrutable Cloud and Rain Technique, he defeated all the experts of the country single-handedly. With his lone power, he took control of White Rock Mountain.

Since then, the fame of the White Rock Hermit soared.

Even in Jin, his reputation surpassed Guan Lanzi in Jing Country by a good measure.

Thus, the Heavenly Decree Temple flourished.

By the second Heavenly Change, White Rock Hermit had reached the Foundation Establishment Realm. His disciples were mostly of the True Qi Realm. How many had secretly ascended to Foundation Establishment Cultivator status post the second change was unknown.

On this day.

White Rock Mountain buzzed with activity.

Many famous and great cultivators from the Jin Country gathered, having just witnessed a battle of incredible brilliance.

"Daoist Changfeng truly lives up to his reputation!"

"Yes, his Wind and Fire Techniques are ferociously formidable. The Cloud and Rain Technique of the senior from White Rock was completely countered and suppressed throughout!"

"It's not just a matter of techniques countering each other. Daoist Changfeng is superior in both the control of techniques and the foundation of his cultivation. In this battle, the master of White Rock Temple lost without any grievances."

...

As the dust settled on the battle at White Rock Mountain, the cultivators whispered amongst themselves, gazing with awe at the Daoist in the Wind and Fire Daoist Robe standing in the sky.

In the center.

White Rock Hermit's white robe was tinged with scorches and blood.

In contrast, the young Daoist opposite stood tall. His face was as calm as a gentle breeze, not hot nor cold, completely unlike the fierce competitor who had just bested a powerful enemy.

This man was Chang Fengzi.

"Master of White Rock Temple, I am grateful for your consideration."

Chang Fengzi clasped his hands and bowed slightly, speaking indifferently.

"It is I who is lacking in skill. I thank Daoist Changfeng for showing mercy," the White Rock Hermit conceded defeat, neither angry nor annoyed, a smile on his face as he returned the gesture to Chang Fengzi.

Chang Fengzi shook his head and slowly said, "Although our Ancestor Master of Heavenly Decree and my sect's ancestor seldom met, there are ties within the Thunder Department. Chang Feng would certainly remember to respect them."

"Well then, I should thank both Ancestor Masters," replied the White Rock Hermit with a smile, ignoring the deeper meaning behind Chang Fengzi's words.

"The Master of White Rock has remarkable skills. Today's encounter was quite enlightening for Chang Feng, so I will take my leave and not overstay my welcome."

Seeing the situation, Chang Fengzi didn't mind.

After bidding farewell, he turned and left.

The White Rock Hermit stood in the sky, watching as Chang Fengzi's figure disappeared into the south, a light smile playing within his heart.
