‘The Immortal Spring at the back mountain of the Qingyun Sect. Li Qingyun looked at the spring and was so excited as if he had found water in the desert. He was just short of diving in to drink his fill.
“It’s the real Immortal Spring! Just the immortal energy it emits is enough to make me feel reborn!” Li Qingyun took a deep breath and immediately felt as if spring rain was moistening all things, and even his soul was about to sublimate.
That’s true relaxation!
He could not wait as he lay by the pool and gulped down a few mouthfuls of spring water.
“Ha.
“It’s too delicious! Yu’er, come over and have a taste too!” Li Qingyun waved his hand.
“Tm not thirsty. Just take your time and drink more.” Li Yu waved to decline.
He would not drink it even if he had to die. If Li Qingyun knew where this spring water came from, he probably would not be able to drink it either.
Li Qingyun did not bother about Li Yu as he lowered his head and gulped down continuously.
It was the Immortal Spring, after all. One drop was already incomparably precious. More importantly, there were not many drops in the entire Immortal Martial World.
If not for Li Yu, he would never have had the chance to drink to his heart’s content.
If the Holy Lands knew that their Qingyun Sect had such a pool of water, their souls would probably fly out in envy.
Li Qingyun drank for a while and felt a little stuffed. He then stood up and burped.
The rich immortal energy in his body began to roam his meridians and bones.
It nourished his organs, muscles, bones, meridians, and dantian, allowing the spirit energy in his dantian to undergo a qualitative transformation.
“With this spring, your father will return to the peak in a few days. When you return from the Lingtian Mystic Realm, I might already be in the Mahayana Realm!” Li Qingyun announced excitedly.
“Is this spring water that miraculous?”
“Of course. It’s the Immortal Spring we’re talking about, and it’s a precious resource even in the Immortal Domain. Like the spirit stone mine in our mortal world, this spring is usually in the hands of those major powers in the Immortal Domain. Ordinary immortals can’t drink it as freely as we can!” Li
Qingyun explained.
He had heard this from his elders in the past and did not know if it was true. At least in this Immortal Martial World, the Immortal Spring was an unparalleled treasure.
“Oh yes, call Tang Chi, Ye Qiu, and the others here soon. Everyone should grab a few buckets to drink. In the next few days, they should be able to improve significantly. This way, they’ll be safer in the Lingtian Mystic Realm!” Li Qingyun added.
“Sure! I’l call them over now!” Li Yu nodded and called for Tang Chi, Ye Qiu, Gu Yugi, and the rest of the ten genius disciples.
‘When the few of them arrived at the Immortal Spring, they immediately sensed something extraordinary about the spring water. They guessed that it was the additional reward from the Heavenly Dao Rankings.
However, they did not know anything about it since Li Yu told them not to ask questions.
Regardless, Elder Nie had seen the spring water before, and his excited voice reverberated in Ji Qinglan’s ear. “Immortal Spring! It’s actually the Immortal Spring! The reward for Li Yu on the Heavenly Dao Rankings is actually that! This is unimaginable. Li Yu is a person blessed by the heavens. They have
rewarded him with the Ancient Dao Fortune Tree and now the Immortal Spring. They’re going to forge the Qingyun Sect into an immortal family’s holy land!”
Hearing Elder Nie’s words, Ji Qinglan was also incomparably shocked.
Although he did not know what the Immortal Spring was, it was not difficult to tell from Elder Nie’s voice and the spring’s name that it was definitely a precious treasure even in the Immortal Domain.
“Hahaha. The Immortal Spring has the effect of nurturing the soul. My remnant soul finally has a chance to recover! Qinglan, please ask Li Yu for more spring water!” pleaded Elder Nie.
Ji Qinglan nodded.
“In the next few days, you can drink as much as you want. You can also use it as your bathwater. This spring water can enhance your body. Anyway, you better improve your cultivation as much as possible before entering the Lingtian Mystic Realm!” Li Yu requested.
In any case, the spring was inexhaustible, so he could not care about wastage.
Hearing Li Yu’s instructions, joy surfaced on everyone’s faces. The usually unsmiling Ji Qinglan beamed as Elder Nie’s remnant soul could smoothly recover.
The ten genius disciples began to use the spring to cultivate madly in the next few days.
Elder Nie’s remnant soul was also slowly recovering under the nurturing of the spring water.
Days passed, and the day of the Lingtian Mystic Realm’s opening arrived in the blink of an eye.
If not for Li Yu’s reminder, everyone would have forgotten about the time and immersed themselves in the joy of cultivating in the spring.
With the immortal energy from the spring, everyone’s cultivation level increased by a margin, and the person who improved the most was Gu Yugi.
After the Heavenly Dao Ranking reward enhanced his aptitude and soul, coupled with the immortal energy from the spring. Gu Yuqi’s ancient god’s bloodline had been further awakened, and his body began to transform. His cultivation advanced rapidly, crossing from the initial stage of the Soul
Formation Realm to the late stage.
His ranking on the Sons of Heaven Rankings had also gone from 19th to 15th, replacing the original 15th place Grand Primordium Holy Son Chang Hexiang.
‘The various prodigies had been cultivating and spending resources as if lives were on the line ever since the Human Rankings were announced. There had also been some changes in the rankings.
However, most of the changes were after 20th place in the rankings. Furthermore, it was often only a tiny improvement by one place.
It was the first where someone like Gu Yuqi in the top 20 advanced four places at once.
He had even surpassed the Holy Son of the Grand Primordium Holy Land at the Profound Void Martial Stage with his late-stage Soul Formation Stage cultivation.
It attracted the attention of many.
Especially since he was from Qingyun Sect, his name became more striking and made people more curious about the Qingyun Sect.
On the day of the mystic realm’s opening, Li Yu rode the Purple Lightning Flood Dragon to the Clear Void Holy Land with his ten junior brothers and sisters and Wu Chang.
On the way, Elder Nie talked about his relationship with the Clear Void Holy Land, which surprised Li Yu and the others.
He did not expect that Elder Nie was a good friend of the Clear Void Holy Land’s founder.
When Li Yu and the others arrived at the Clear Void Holy Land, the various factions of the Huaxia continent had also arrived.
Everyone was waiting in the two outer peaks of the Clear Void Holy Land. Once the Lingtian Mystic Realm opened, they would enter through the teleportation array in the Clear Void Holy Land.
The outer peaks were filled with noise and excitement.
However, wherever there were people, there was bound to be strife. Moreover, with the various factions gathered together, it was difficult for everything to be calm and peaceful.
‘The recent Sons of Heaven Rankings, in particular, made the prodigies of the various sects feel stifled.
Some of them with similar cultivation levels and rankings began sparring on the spot. It provided entertainment during the waiting time.
However, the main character today was still Li Yu. At this moment, most were talking about Li Yu and the Qingyun Sect.
“I didn’t expect the Qingyun Sect to be from the Great Xia Dynasty!”
“Yeah, if we didn’t hear it from Perfected Yu Hua, how could we have imagined that the person who spoke the mantras was Li Yu!”
“T’ve heard of all kinds of rumors. Some even said that it was the Primordial Dao Holy Son, Chu Yunhe. I didn’t expect it to be Li Yu! No wonder he obtained an auspicious indication on the day of the rankings and even got an extra reward!”
“Hmm, this should be the extra reward given by the Heavenly Dao Rankings after he spoke the mantras of the Great Dao!”
“[heard that the Qingyun Sect Master is the past Divine Firmament Holy Land’s Holy Son, Li Qingyun. Li Yu is Li Qingyun’s son!”
“Really? Li Qingyun’s son? No wonder Li Yu is such a freak. He really surpassed Li Qingyun. I heard that Li Qingyun was once an unprecedented genius with extraordinary strength in the past. I never expected that his son would be even more extraordinary!”
“Like father, like son!”
“What’s even more shocking is that Li Yu is only 17 years old. It’s startling to see him overcome the Holy Sons to ascend to the top at this age!”
“Only 17? His potential is amazing!”
“I just heard from the people of the Great Xia that Li Yu will be here today. I heard that the Clear Void Holy Land gave the Qingyun Sect ten spots!”
“Didn’t Li Qingyun have a grudge with the Clear Void Holy Land? The Clear Void Holy Land before us, and actually allowed the Qingyun Sect to enter the Lingtian Mystic Realm!”
“After all, Li Yu is the number one prodigy of the orthodox sects today. The grudges of the previous generation shouldn’t be extended to the next generation, right?”
“In my opinion, it’s all because Li Yu is outstanding enough. Otherwise, the Clear Void Holy Land wouldn’t have let bygones be bygones. Not only is Li Yu the number one prodigy of the human race, but he’s also the one who speaks the truths of the Great Dao. Tell me. Which Holy Land wouldn’t treat him
asa distinguished guest?”
“That’s right. The Clear Void Holy Land is not foolish. This child has a limitless future. Anyone with some foresight will naturally seek goodwill with him!”
“Hmm, is the Qingyun Sect here yet? I can’t wait to see the current number one prodigy himself!”
