Mysterious mirror hanging high

Chapter 883 Planting Yuan Qi

Not long after, a tall man in a linen robe landed in the courtyard on a beam of light.

Jing Yu couldn't help but look at this person a few more times, not only because of the huge spiritual pressure of this person, which was at least at the Cave Heaven Realm, but also because his head was shiny and bright, without a single hair.

But when Zhong Yuanyi saw the bald man, he burst into tears and hugged him, saying, "Fifth brother, I miss you so much!"

"Little brother, Fifth Brother thought I'd never see you again..." The bald man shed tears and said, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

The two cried for a while, which made Jing Yu, who was standing beside them, feel a little embarrassed.

Just as he was digging his toes into the ground, Zhong Yuanyi finally calmed down, wiped the tears from his face, and said to Jing Yu:

"Xuan Jing, I haven't introduced him to you yet. This is Zhong Mou's fifth brother, named [Zhong Yuanqi]."

"Fifth brother, this is my savior, whose Taoist name is Xuan Jing. I am able to return to the immortal world this time thanks to the help of fellow Taoist Xuan Jing."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Yuanqi stepped forward and shook Jing Yu's hands, expressing gratitude. "I will never forget your kindness, Daoist friend... If you encounter any difficulties in the Changyang Star Region in the future, I will be willing to help you even if it means risking your life."

Jing Yu was flattered: "Daoyou Yuanqi, you are too kind..."

He almost instinctively cast a detection spell over, and sure enough, four blue seal characters appeared on the mirror: [Condensing Qi and Returning to Origin].

"This kind of Yuan Qi really does have a destiny..."

At this moment, Zhong Yuanyi asked, "Where are Fifth Brother, Eighth Sister, Sixteenth Brother, and Thirty-Second Brother?"

Zhong Yuanqi's expression darkened upon hearing this, and he sighed, "They've all perished... We were thirty-four brothers and sisters, and now only you, me, and my eldest sister are left."

Jing Yu grumbled inwardly, "Of the thirty-four descendants of Zhonghe Dao, only these three survived? Those with destiny are indeed more formidable. I guess those who died didn't have destiny to rely on, right?"

Zhong Yuanyi was struck by lightning and burst into tears again: "God damn it... who on earth could have done this?"

"Humph! Aren't they the same Mahayana forces that were hostile to our Zong family before?"

Zhong Yuanqi's expression was gloomy, and he said hatefully, "Ever since that immortal destroyed my Zhong family, those clans and families that had been forbearing have jumped out one after another, adding insult to injury... I don't know how many members of my family have been killed."

"Now that my father has advanced to the Celestial Immortal Realm and has slain that great enemy... these forces have gone into hiding once again."

"Just wait! My Zhong family has already placed a bounty on these former enemies. We will definitely settle accounts with them one by one..."

The man immediately shook his head and said, "Forget it. Today is a joyous day of reunion, let's not dwell on these things that would spoil the fun... Little brother, fellow Daoist Xuan Jing, you two should rest up in the cave for a while. Tonight, we'll prepare a welcoming banquet for you. Once you're settled in, I'll take you two on a good tour of Hedao Star."

After Zhong Yuanqi left, Jing Yu couldn't help but be curious and asked:

"Brother Yuanyi, Xuanjing didn't have the nerve to ask just now, but I'm really itching to know...why is Brother Yuanqi's forehead...could he be a Buddhist cultivator?"

"Oh, why is Fifth Brother bald?" Zhong Yuanyi said casually, "He was born that way."

"You might be wondering, my father has such a high level of cultivation, but why does he have so many children?"

Jing Yu smiled awkwardly: "This is indeed a bit strange, but I am even more embarrassed to ask."

"It's not really a secret," Zhong Yuanyi shook his head. "Father is a very...romantic man. To put it bluntly, he's a womanizer."

"I don't know how many female cultivators I've had casual affairs with over the years."

"But my father is indifferent to people of all stripes, demons, witches... He doesn't pick on anyone."

"Fifth Brother's biological mother was a Buddhist nun. Her practice eliminated all strands of hair, so hair wouldn't grow... She later returned to secular life and gave birth to Fifth Brother. Unexpectedly, Fifth Brother also inherited this trait."

Jing Yu's eyes twitched, and he suddenly asked, "That celestial being your father offended back then, wasn't it also because..."

Zhong Yuanyi said helplessly: "It's still that thing in the crotch."

"Back then, my father...had an affair with one of that fairy's concubines and was caught red-handed."

"That immortal was enraged and personally hunted down my father... Later, my father disappeared, and no one knew whether he was alive or dead. The entire Zhong family was also affected by the immortal's wrath, and that's when..."

Jing Yu was shocked and thought to himself, "I thought it was some kind of life-or-death vendetta, but it turns out it's just a grudge that the Hedao put on an immortal's head..."

He instantly felt that staying in the Zhong family might not be a good choice. Given Zhong Hedao's fate and his desire for chaos in the world, if he really provoked some unmatched existence, even Jing Yu himself would be affected.

But now he can only stay in the Zhong family to ensure his safety. After all, his identity has been exposed. If he leaves the protection of Zhong Hedao, the Shending Immortal Dynasty may learn its lesson and send a Mahayana cultivator to capture Jing Yu next time!

"Forget it, let's just stay here and see what happens next..."

Fairyland, First Heaven

On the cliff of an unknown fairy mountain, a slightly fat figure was climbing up the cliff with difficulty.

Ye Xingyun was breathing heavily and looked up at the top of the mountain, which seemed to be very close.

"Huh... we're finally almost there... this no-fly restriction is so annoying."

Another half hour passed before Ye Xingyun finally climbed to the top of the mountain and took a deep breath.

Suddenly, a blinding white light shot up into the sky. Amidst the swirling clouds and mist, a slender white dragon broke through the clouds and hung in mid-air.

The white dragon was a thousand feet long, and its scales looked like they were carved from ice crystals, each one reflecting a biting cold light. When the dragon's body stretched out, its majestic might made the air around it stagnant, even choking the sound of the wind.

When Ye Xingyun saw the white dragon, he sat up and said with a bow:

"Senior Bai Yuan! Long time no see!"

The white dragon was none other than Bai Yuan Long Jun. It looked Ye Xingyun up and down, and asked doubtfully, "Who are you? Have I ever seen you before?"

Ye Xingyun smiled and said, "It's normal that you don't recognize me. After all, you ascended to heaven too hastily... But we are all from the Immortal Continent after all. When fellow countrymen meet, tears well up in our eyes."

A mysterious wave swept over, and Bai Yuanlongjun nodded: "Indeed, you are from the Immortal Continent Realm... Come with me."

Immediately, a crack appeared on the top of the fairy mountain, and this was actually the entrance to a secret realm.

Ye Xingyun followed Lord Baiyuanlong into the secret realm. At a glance, he saw several high-ranking cultivators with powerful auras sitting at various points of a formation, continuously transferring true essence into the formation.

In the center of the formation, sat a thin man in a green robe. His eyes were closed at the moment. Behind him appeared a Dharma image that was over a hundred feet tall, and on the chest of this Dharma image was a shockingly huge wound.

Ye Xingyun recognized this person almost at first sight. He had seen this person's statue in the Penglai Holy Land before, and now he saw the real person, and they were exactly the same.

The Lord of Penglai, Xiao Buyi!
