"It's the Taoist Virtue Heavenly Lord! This is a great figure from the ancient mythological era!" "We were actually fortunate enough to encounter the Heavenly Lord? And we even opposed him? This is truly..."
The hearts of the cultivators were overwhelmed with a myriad of emotions: relief, fear, joy, confusion. It took them quite a while to gather their wits.
"From what you were saying earlier, it seems you are acquainted with the Heavenly Lord?" an elder from the Jade Cauldron Heavenly Cave asked, looking at Ye Fan, Li Xiaoman, and the others with a shocked expression.
"Yes," Ye Fan nodded, sighing inwardly. "In our country, the Taoist Ancestor is also a figure from mythology. When we first encountered him, we didn't know he was the Taoist Ancestor. I even scolded him."
Ye Fan shook his head with a bitter smile. "Fortunately, the Taoist Ancestor is magnanimous and didn't hold a grudge. When we encountered an accident while climbing an ancient mountain, it was the Taoist Ancestor who saved us, allowing us to arrive here safely."
"Yes, that's right!" Li Xiaoman added, "We encountered a demon in an ancient temple, who was apparently a demon saint..."
"A demon saint!"
The cultivators gasped in shock. This was a saint-level being, capable of incredible feats. But they quickly remembered that with the Heavenly Lord around, even a saint was nothing.
"Yes! That demon saint was terrifying! It was taller than a mountain and blocked out the sky when it flew."
Li Xiaoman patted her chest in fear. "Thankfully, the Taoist Ancestor appeared. The Taoist Ancestor, being merciful, tried to persuade the demon saint to stop causing harm, but the demon saint didn't listen, insulted the Taoist Ancestor, and threatened to eat us. The Taoist Ancestor then lightly tapped its head with a ring, and it died."
"Tapped its head lightly, and it died!"
The cultivators broke out in cold sweats. This was the Heavenly Lord, after all. A light tap from him? They wouldn't dare let him tap them.
Then, they felt a wave of relief. Fortunately, the Heavenly Lord didn't hold a grudge against them. Otherwise, a mere breath from him would have left nothing behind.
"After the Taoist Ancestor killed the demon saint, he brought us here," Ye Fan continued. "At the place where Miss Weiwei found us, we burned our life force to unlock our potential, which turned us into old people. Then the Taoist Ancestor waved his hand and restored us to our current state."
"Miraculous! Absolutely miraculous! You all are truly blessed!"
The cultivators looked at the group with admiration, "To have the fortune of traveling with the Heavenly Lord and receiving such blessings, you must have had great karma in your previous lives!"
"Indeed! With your seas of suffering already activated and such robust life force, your path to cultivation will be smooth. We envy you so much."
"Alas, it's still not enough luck," Li Xiaoman sighed, glancing enviously at Zhou Yi.
The cultivators exchanged glances, unsure how to respond. Luck is relative.
Compared to others, Li Xiaoman and her friends had received tremendous blessings. But compared to Zhou Yi, it was a vast difference.
Zhou Yi had become the disciple of the Heavenly Lord. In comparison, their blessings were insignificant.
"Well, I was just lucky," Zhou Yi said modestly, but his heart was filled with joy.
Yeah, right. As if luck could explain all this.
The others rolled their eyes.
"There's no need to be discouraged," an elder reassured them. "Although your fortune isn't as great as Zhou Yi's, once you enter the immortal sects, you will surely soar to great heights. You will become heroes of this world."
"Absolutely! Don't worry. With your potential, once you join the immortal sects, you will be nurtured and will certainly achieve great things."
"Yes, indeed! The sects will focus all their resources on you. Your future achievements will be extraordinary."
The cultivators vied to persuade them to join their sects, offering various promises and advantages.
Had Li Yu not appeared, the cultivators would have simply divided them up and taken them away, not caring about their opinions.
But now things were different. These individuals were linked to the Heavenly Lord. Even if the connection was tenuous, there was still a disciple of the Heavenly Lord among them. They couldn't afford to be careless.
After a noisy bout of negotiations, Zhou Yi's classmates were each assigned to different sects.
With farewells said, Zhou Yi's classmates departed with their respective sect elders, riding beams of light into the sky.
Finally, Zhou Yi was left alone in the courtyard.
"From Earth to Beidou, this journey has been fraught with danger, but everyone has finally joined immortal sects. It's a great success."
Zhou Yi walked out, watching the beams of light fade into the distance, feeling a sense of accomplishment.
"Compared to them, joining the Taoist Ancestor's sect gives me a head start. With the help of the Heavenly Book, my path will be solid every step of the way."
Zhou Yi looked up at the sky, which was unlike Earth's, and took a deep breath. "Beidou Star Region, a world of cultivators. Let me witness its wonders."
A streak of multicolored light streaked across the sky, landing in the courtyard.
As the light dissipated, Li Yu's ethereal figure appeared before Zhou Yi.
"Disciple Zhou Yi greets the master."
Seeing Li Yu, Zhou Yi hurriedly bowed.
"Rise," Li Yu said with a smile, gently lifting Zhou Yi with a soft force.
"Master, I wish to cultivate. Please teach me," Zhou Yi said eagerly. Being a disciple of the Taoist Ancestor surely came with countless benefits: elixirs, divine techniques, all within reach.
"Patience," Li Yu knew what Zhou Yi was thinking. However, whether selling his system, playing the master, or assisting Zhou Yi, it was never out of pure benevolence.
Developing a client who would continuously generate resources and benefits was Li Yu's goal. Therefore, even if there were initial investments, it couldn't become a habit of giving away things for free.
"Zhou Yi, do you know about the Great Emperor?"
Li Yu asked with a faint smile. "A Great Emperor commands the world, with all under heaven submitting. Do you wish to walk this path of the Great Emperor? Do you wish to reach the pinnacle of this world?"
"I do! Of course, I do!" Zhou Yi answered without hesitation. The Heavenly Book had already given him the task of vying for the position of the Great Emperor, so his answer was resolute.
"Then work hard," Li Yu laughed heartily, thinking to himself, If you strive for the position of the Great Emperor, you'll need resources and constant exchanges. My gains will be endless.
