This woman wore a blue silk dress, her features exquisitely beautiful, as pure and elegant as a lotus emerging from water, exuding a serene calm.
She descended from the sky, her appearance causing an uproar among the crowd. Even Old Master Fengxu and the other Chixiao People were slightly surprised, seemingly not expecting her to appear.
There was no one present who did not recognize this woman.
Liu Yue.
A celebrated heaven-favored daughter renowned throughout the Crimson-Letter Sect and even within the Yanluo Kingdom.
Most of the Crimson-Letter Sect's prodigies stood on the side of the Black-Hearted Old Master, but Liu Yue was an exception. She supported the Black Buddha Old Master. The reason was simple: her father was a direct disciple of the Black Buddha Old Master. By seniority, she would address the Black Buddha Old Master as 'Grandmaster'.
However, this heaven-favored daughter had been in seclusion ever since the Heavenly Mandate descended. For nine years, there had been no news of her. No one had expected her to suddenly appear at the Mountain-River Branch Hall.
"Liu Yue pays her respects to the several Old Masters."
The woman named Liu Yue gave a slight bow, saluting Fengxu and the other Chixiao People.
"Liu Yue? How... When did you return?"
"Old Master, this junior will answer your questions shortly."
Liu Yue walked to Elder Wen's side, raised her slender jade-like hand, and from her fingertips bloomed radiant light that then flowed and shifted. She formed various profound spirit seals with her fingers, condensing them into one divine ability after another that enveloped Elder Wen. It must be said, Liu Yue was truly remarkable. After over a dozen divine abilities and immortal arts were applied, Elder Wen's violently chaotic spiritual power gradually calmed. Before long, his blurred, distorted Nascent Soul Dharma Aspect also gradually returned to tranquility.
This scene was truly astonishing.
One must understand that Elder Wen's Nascent Soul Dharma Aspect was currently in a completely distorted, blurred, and chaotic state, in danger of dispersing at any moment. If one rashly intervened at such a time, not only would they fail to save Elder Wen, they might even harm him further.
Moreover, saving someone was not something you could do just because you wanted to, nor was it something you could accomplish just because your cultivation was high.
First, you needed to understand medical arts.
The Immortal Dao had ten arts, and medicine was one of them.
This skill was far more complex than martial arts, spells, and other immortal arts, and demanded even higher innate talent.
Although Old Master Fengxu and the other Chixiao People also understood some medical divine abilities, they only knew a little. They were not medical experts. Using their knowledge for emergency stabilization was possible, but for actual healing, none of them had that capability. Earlier, seeing Elder Wen's critical condition, they had prepared to intervene, first suppressing his distorted, blurred Nascent Soul Dharma Aspect, then inviting several elders from the mountain proficient in medicine to slowly nurse him back to health.
But they had never imagined Liu Yue would suddenly appear. What was even more incredible to them was that Liu Yue had managed to stabilize Elder Wen's distorted, blurred Nascent Soul Dharma Aspect in such a short time.
To many, such a feat was unimaginable unless witnessed firsthand. Since the Heavenly Mandate descended nine years ago, the Mountain-River Branch Hall frequently had people whose cultivation went awry, most involving distorted and blurred Nascent Soul Dharma Aspects. Fortunately, several elders on the mountain skilled in medicine had prevented disasters. However, in many people's memories, even when those skilled medical elders intervened, it took ten days to half a month to stabilize a distorted, blurred Nascent Soul Dharma Aspect.
How could Liu Yue, with just a few divine abilities, stabilize Elder Wen's Nascent Soul Dharma Aspect?
Not only did they find it hard to believe, even the experienced and knowledgeable Old Master Fengxu and the other Chixiao People were amazed by this sight.
"Nine years unseen, this girl Liu Yue's immortal arts and divine abilities have improved considerably. She's likely reached a level of miraculous proficiency. The younger generation truly commands respect!"
Old Master Fengxu sighed with emotion.
They were all followers of the Black Buddha Old Master, and Liu Yue was a beloved grand-disciple of the Black Buddha Old Master. Naturally, they had all watched Liu Yue grow up. Seeing her stabilize Elder Wen's Nascent Soul Dharma Aspect in such a short time, Fengxu and the others felt both astonishment and gratification.
"It's not just her immortal arts and divine abilities that have improved considerably; her cultivation has also reached a level we cannot hope to match."
Nine years ago, Liu Yue was already an Earth Immortal. After the Heavenly Mandate descended and the Great Nature bloomed with wondrous colors, no one knew what she had experienced over these nine years, nor did anyone know what her current cultivation level was.
The Earth Immortal realm was different from other realms.
In the Daozun realm, the spiritual aura of the Nascent Soul, Dao Heart, and Dharma Aspect were all distinct, so one could judge the cultivation level from the aura.
But the Earth Immortal realm was a process of refining the void and merging with the Dao. It had no obvious distinguishing features. Judging from spiritual aura alone had become difficult. However, Old Master Fengxu and the other Chixiao People were experienced and knowledgeable individuals. From the spiritual aura emanating from Liu Yue, they could sense that her cultivation level had likely already undergone the Nine-Nine Eighty-One Unification. It was even possible she had already fused her Nascent Soul, Dao Heart, and Dharma Aspect together, achieving the Great Accomplishment Earth Immortal stage. It wasn't impossible she had even reached the Great Perfection Earth Immortal stage.
Not far away.
Gu Qingfeng had also been silently observing. Upon learning this woman was also Dong Laohu's grand-disciple, he couldn't help but smile inwardly, thinking to himself that Dong Laohu really had no small amount of good fortune.
If Fengxu and the other Chixiao People couldn't discern Liu Yue's cultivation level, that didn't mean he couldn't.
This Liu Yue had indeed already fused her Nascent Soul, Dharma Aspect, and Dao Heart together, qualifying as a Great Accomplishment Earth Immortal, just one step away from Great Perfection.
What was important.
Was that this woman's destiny was also not simple.
The Great Nature's Color-Spirit destinies were innumerable.
It seemed her physical body was also an extraordinary destiny treasure-body.
Even her fused Nascent Soul Dharma Aspect was a great destiny.
Besides that, she also possessed a type of destiny that even Gu Qingfeng couldn't identify.
With such cultivation and such destiny, even in this current era of the Ten Thousand Things Reviving, having experienced the descent of the Heavenly Mandate and the Great Nature blooming with spiritual colors, she was absolutely a rare and exceptional prodigy.
Moreover, her character and conduct also seemed quite good. For Dong Laohu to have such a grand-disciple was definitely fortune accumulated over eight lifetimes.
After another moment, only when Elder Wen's internal Nascent Soul Dharma Aspect had completely stabilized did Liu Yue finally stop.
Of course.
Although it was temporarily stable, it was only temporary. For a full recovery, he would likely need a long period of quiet recuperation.
Old Master Fengxu had someone take Elder Wen away for quiet recuperation, then looked at Liu Yue, overjoyed, and said, "Nine years unseen, Liu Yue, you have become increasingly formidable."
"Old Master Fengxu praises me too highly."
Liu Yue responded with humble sincerity and a smile.
"By the way, Liu Yue, when did you return? And how... did you suddenly appear at our Mountain-River Branch Hall?"
"That's a long story. Let's go inside to talk. Also, I have a message talisman here, given to me by Grandmaster for delivery to you."
Hearing it was a message talisman from the Black Buddha Old Master, Fengxu and the other Chixiao People all perked up. Without hesitation, they quickly led Liu Yue away.
