A disciple of the renowned Fusheng Dijun, whose fame shakes both past and present, and also a disciple of the Everlasting Pavilion, one of the seventy-two blessed lands.
With such an identity and background, to say she could run rampant across the Great Desolate might be a slight exaggeration, but within the Great Desolate, absolutely no one would dare provoke her.
Moreover.
Even without such a powerful background, no one would go out of their way to offend Upper Immortal Qingqing.
Because Upper Immortal Qingqing not only possesses profound cultivation and formidable strength, but also unparalleled fortune.
Beyond that, Upper Immortal Qingqing possesses a peerless beauty that could topple cities, kingdoms, and even the world. Her character is not only kind-hearted but also approachable. In this Great Desolate Heaven and Earth, across the myriad realms, she has countless suitors.
Among them are many outstanding talents from various heavenly domains, as well as numerous immortals enfeoffed by the Nine Heavens, including those bearing the Mandate of the Great Dao, and even Star Lords who bear the Mandate of Heaven.
Mo Baiyu is one of them.
To be honest.
With his status, he would not normally ride this kind of passenger vessel. Even when traveling, he has his own dedicated Xuantian Great Vessel.
Originally, this outing was to seek opportunities, train, and achieve a breakthrough, so he did not use his own Xuantian Great Vessel.
Upon hearing news of Upper Immortal Qingqing, he could no longer wait for his subordinates to bring his Xuantian Great Vessel over, as that would waste too much time. Therefore, he had no choice but to board this Xuantian Great Vessel belonging to their immortal realm.
Elder Jin had been very puzzled at first. Why would Mo Baiyu, who had just set out on his training journey, inexplicably turn back home, and in such a hurry? After boarding his immortal realm's passenger vessel, he not only replaced the original captain but also put Elder Jin in charge of navigation, urging him to speed up the entire way. Upon hearing that Upper Immortal Qingqing's great vessel was ahead, he finally understood.
Having followed Mo Baiyu for many years, Elder Jin naturally knew that Mo Baiyu had always harbored admiration for Upper Immortal Qingqing. Whenever he heard news of her, unless he was in seclusion and unable to leave, he would drop everything to go meet her.
He had thought that after decades in seclusion this time, Mo Baiyu's state of mind might have matured. He never expected that upon hearing about Upper Immortal Qingqing this time, he would act just as before, sparing no cost just to win a smile from the beauty.
This left Elder Jin somewhat disappointed.
Of course.
It was only disappointment.
Disappointment did not mean he couldn't understand. Although he had cultivated for a very, very long time—so long he himself had forgotten—his heart had long since forgotten what feelings were.
However.
He had also been young once. In his youth, he too had gone mad, disregarding everything to pursue the one he admired.
Only.
He was somewhat confused.
Confused about what Upper Immortal Qingqing had to do with Mo Baiyu's desire to test that self-proclaimed Great Old Master.
Could it be that Mo Baiyu wanted to use Upper Immortal Qingqing's identity to test that man?
"Elder Jin, you've followed me for so long. Could it be you still don't understand my character?"
Mo Baiyu said very seriously, "Upper Immortal Qingqing is like a noble goddess in my heart. For her, I could even give up my life. How could I possibly use her to test that man?"
"Then this old man is confused. I don't understand why my lord suddenly brought up Upper Immortal Qingqing for no apparent reason."
"Heh."
Mo Baiyu gave a faint smile, as if playing coy. "Elder Jin, you've accompanied me to see Upper Immortal Qingqing before, haven't you?"
"Many times."
"Since you've accompanied me to see her many times, have you ever encountered Upper Immortal Qingqing traveling alone?"
Hearing this, Elder Jin roughly understood Mo Baiyu's meaning.
Upper Immortal Qingqing had always had many suitors, and among them were quite a few who, like Mo Baiyu, admired and were infatuated with her.
Therefore, every time Upper Immortal Qingqing traveled, it could be described as having a grand entourage. It wasn't just one Xuantian Great Vessel, but a whole fleet.
Among them, only one great vessel belonged to Upper Immortal Qingqing. The other great vessels likely belonged to those admirers who had chased after her from afar, just to accompany her.
"According to the news I received, there are indeed quite a few familiar faces among those accompanying Upper Immortal Qingqing this time."
Mo Baiyu said with a playful smile at the corner of his mouth, "Among them are Yun Zhou, Yuan Wu, Mu Feng, Qing Yue..." Mo Baiyu listed over ten names in a row, causing Elder Jin to secretly click his tongue in astonishment.
He had heard of most of the names Mo Baiyu mentioned. Without exception, they were all heaven-defying geniuses from various heavenly domains, and their identities and backgrounds were each more powerful than the last—some were this immortal, others that immortal; some hailed from this great immortal realm, others from that great family. Among them, Yun Zhou, Yuan Wu, Mu Feng, and Qing Yue were, like Mo Baiyu, all Upper Immortals bearing the Immortal Dao's Mandate.
"Their tempers are not as good as mine. Especially Yuan Wu—he's notoriously hot-tempered and loves to show off. If someone spouts arrogant nonsense and mocks the Immortal Dao in front of him, especially in front of Upper Immortal Qingqing... heh...
I think Yuan Wu definitely wouldn't miss such a perfect opportunity to perform."
After hearing Mo Baiyu's words, Elder Jin beside him couldn't help but nod, feeling this plan was completely feasible.
In his view, although the existence of that self-proclaimed Great Old Master was unfathomable, if there were many experts present, he wouldn't be able to cause much trouble.
One must know that most of the people Mo Baiyu mentioned were the treasured jewels of various immortal realm families. Whenever they traveled, they were inevitably surrounded by clouds of experts.
Moreover, there was Upper Immortal Qingqing, an existence with unparalleled identity, background, cultivation, and strength. Every time she traveled, experts from the Everlasting Pavilion would accompany her on her vessel.
Even if that self-proclaimed Great Old Master was truly terrifying, there was nothing to worry about. At the very least, with so many experts present, Mo Baiyu's life wouldn't be threatened. As long as Mo Baiyu wasn't in mortal danger, Elder Jin could rest easy.
Furthermore, he also very much wanted to know what kind of existence that self-proclaimed Great Old Master really was.
The smile at the corner of Mo Baiyu's mouth grew even richer. "That self-proclaimed Great Old Master mocked the Immortal Dao in front of me. I might be able to tolerate it, but Yuan Wu and the others definitely won't. So, even without waiting for the great vessel to reach Lingluo Heavenly Domain, perhaps without me needing to lift a finger, I'll be able to find out what he truly is—whether he's human or ghost. I might even take the opportunity to end his life; that's not impossible either."
Hearing that Mo Baiyu not only wanted to test that Great Old Master but actually wanted his life, Elder Jin hurriedly said, "My lord, that man merely mocked the Immortal Dao and showed some disrespect towards it. There's no need to make such a big fuss."
"Merely mocked the Immortal Dao?"
Mo Baiyu snorted coldly, the smile at his mouth abruptly vanishing as he stared at Elder Jin and barked, "Elder Jin, I think you haven't quite grasped one thing. Whether he mocked the Immortal Dao or showed great disrespect towards it, I don't care at all. What I truly care about is that Yunyan Xianzi rejected my invitation but accepted his! Not only did she accept his invitation, she even obeys his every word! What gives him the right!
!!"
