Chapter 881 -880: I Really Can’t Continue with Captive Peak

“`

The Immortal Peach is indeed a product of the Heavenly Root, large and full, brimming with juice. Lu Yang took a bite, and the peach juice exploded in her mouth, sweet but not cloying, as if she could feel every drop dancing on her taste buds, awakening all her flavors.

With each chew, the fragrance of the peach filled her lips and mouth, deliciously sweet to the point of intoxication.

This was absolutely the tastiest peach Lu Yang had ever eaten.

Besides prolonging lifespan, the Immortal Peach could also purge impurities and refine one’s Spirit Root. However, Lu Yang’s body had already been tempered a thousand times over, all impurities long washed away, and his Sword Spirit Root had no more room for improvement; he was simply enjoying the half peach.

In contrast to Lu Yang, Yun Zhi was even more elegant as she savored the other half of the Immortal Peach and carefully saved the seed, planning to plant it when she returned.

Under the wistful gaze of Fairy Eternity, Eldest Senior Sister and Little Junior Brother made their way back to the sect successfully.

In recent years, since Lu Yang joined the Seek Dao Sect, Captive Peak had become increasingly lively.

Reflecting on the past, reminiscing about history, building the Great Yu Historical Museum, without a doubt, Captive Peak was the best choice.

At Captive Peak, one could meet cultivators from every era of the Middle to Late Period of Great Yu, who would personally recount the tales of those distant times.

Today, one of the most important figures of Great Yu arrived at Captive Peak, completing the story of the Early Period.

…

In the dim light of an oil lamp within Captive Peak, the child Grandmaster Tang Shengyi floated in mid-air, surrounded by one spent Spirit Stone after another, along with numerous residues of medicines.

After the Master of All Laws’ attack on the Seek Dao Sect, the child Grandmaster vaguely sensed a great crisis looming in the future. In order to face the crisis, he began to cultivate even more earnestly.

Cultivation begins with the mind, and before this, he kept watch over Captive Peak, constantly reflecting upon his Mind State. Through conversations with the prisoners of Captive Peak, sharing insights into Cultivation, and listening to their past stories and the purposes of their Cultivation, the child Grandmaster’s Mind State was polished to even greater clarity and transparency.

And now, he began his formal Cultivation.

Once the mind was settled, the Cultivation progress could be greatly accelerated, something many high-ranking cultivators were unaware of.

The child Grandmaster, in his desire to grow stronger quickly, exchanged Contribution Points and his pension for a vast quantity of Spirit Stones, precious medicines, and Spirit Pills. All these had now become his strength.

“What a pity, although I have no obstacles in my cultivation, I still have no clue about the Dao Fruit Outline,” he lamented.

It’s not only at the peak of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage that one begins to condense the Dao Fruit Outline. As soon as one reaches the stage, it’s possible to start condensing; even after that, one can continue to cultivate and progress within the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. The two do not interfere with each other.

However, very few people start to condense the Dao Fruit Outline as soon as they reach the Transcendance Tribulation Stage and become a Semi-Immortal.

The child Grandmaster had always longed to condense the Dao Fruit Outline, but sadly, he had made no progress on this matter.

“Hmm? Xiao Yun and Little Lu have arrived?” The child Grandmaster sensed two figures at the entrance of Captive Peak. He landed and interrupted his cultivation, going to greet them with a hearty smile.

“Grandmaster, it’s been a while. Senior Sister and I have come to visit you,” Lu Yang greeted the child Grandmaster politely, making the grandmaster laugh heartily, clearly a child beloved by his elders.

“Grandmaster,” Eldest Senior Sister nodded as a form of salute.

“Enough with the visiting; I guess you two are here to bring me a prisoner,” the child Grandmaster said. Though he appeared like a child, his maturity was entirely different, with a clear mind.

“Not at all, we just thought that you might be encountering some difficulties in your cultivation, so we specially captured a top cultivator from Imperial City who could provide long-term guidance on your cultivation,” Lu Yang explained.

When the prisoners of Captive Peak heard that Lu Yang had brought back someone else, they all stretched their necks to see, eager to know which distinguished person had been captured this time.

Famous individuals in Captive Peak, more or less, all had some relationship with Lu Yang.

The child Grandmaster waved it off: “There’s no need for any top cultivator to guide me. There are plenty of Pass Tribulation Cultivators here in Captive Peak, and even three Semi-Immortals, which are enough.”

“So tell me, who have you captured this time?”

There wasn’t a storm the child Grandmaster hadn’t seen. Even during the chaotic time of the Nine Disciples of the Dao Seeking Sect, he remained unscathed, each one of those troublesome youngsters tamed under his management.

Remember the time when Daoist Buyu and the others made a huge fuss in Imperial City? The children of Chief of Staff, the grandsons of the Right Chancellor, princes and grandsons, they were all once fooled by them. In the end, several Chiefs of Staff co-signed a petition, with the Left and Right Chancellors banding together, even alarming Emperor Xia at the time.

But what of it? In the end, it was still Tang Shengyi who came forward and settled everything.

“Seems like a Semi-Immortal,” Lu Yang hesitated a bit, tactfully speaking, afraid that the title of Great Yu National Preceptor might scare Grandmaster, which would be quite unfilial.

“`

“Oh, a Semi-Immortal,” the child Grandmaster seemed unbothered. With three Semi-Immortals already confined within Captive Peak, what difference would one more make?

Seeing that the child Grandmaster was fairly resilient, Yun Zhi felt reassured and then tore open a spatial rift, extracting the prisoner’s three souls.

The prisoner’s three souls and seven spirits were separated, leaving him listless and spiritless, head hanging low.

“Who is this?” the child Grandmaster let out a soft gasp of recognition. It felt as though he had seen this voice before, as if from a portrait in some historical book.

He walked over, craned his neck to take a closer look, and just then, the prisoner suddenly looked up, locking eyes with the child Grandmaster!

The child Grandmaster was so startled he jumped back several steps, panting heavily, his soul still unsettled.

It wasn’t the prisoner’s sudden movement that frightened him, but the prisoner’s appearance that did!

His trembling hand pointed at the prisoner’s soul, his voice shaking.

“The Great Yu National Preceptor, Guan Shanhai?!”

This was a genuine Immortal!

It was one thing for Captive Peak to imprison Semi-Immortals, after all, they were only a step above him with a mere outline of a Dao Fruit, but an Immortal was different. That was a supreme realm entirely beyond the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. How many Immortals had there been since ancient times?

He, a mere Pass Tribulation Cultivator, how could he supervise an Immortal?

“The National Preceptor?!”

The Master of All Laws’s eyes nearly popped out of his head, if a soul could have eyes, that is.

He never imagined that the unparalleled National Preceptor would also fall into the hands of the Seek Dao Sect.

“Guan Shanhai, you too have seen this day!” The Nightmare Supreme, upon seeing his former adversary reduced to a fellow inmate, could not hide his Schadenfreude. He was nearly dancing with joy.

The Venerable Thunder and other Great Yu Transcendance Tribulation cultivators watched the scene in disbelief,

Wu Youdao looked as if his soul had been scattered; he had thought that even if he became a lowly prisoner, there would always be a day they could leave as long as the National Preceptor was outside.

Now with hope shattered, the entire Great Yu had fallen and was imprisoned within Captive Peak.

In an instant, the order of the whole Captive Peak collapsed, and chaos reigned as everyone was shocked by the identity of the new inmate.

“Grandmaster, do not be afraid. Guan Shanhai now only has his three souls left, his power severely weakened, and he has been sealed by me. He absolutely will not cause trouble or escape,” reassured Yun Zhi.

The child Grandmaster shook his head like a rattle drum, adamantly refusing.

He had never seen such big waves before.

He hurriedly took out a space talisman from his bosom and tore it open.

This was a talisman the Vast Sea Daoist Lord had given him, saying if there was any trouble, to use it to contact him and he would come.

After tearing the talisman, a gateway in space opened, and a figure slowly emerged, looking around tentatively.

Seeing this, the child Grandmaster rushed over to seek help.

“Ancestor, this Captive Peak is no place for me. It was fine to oversee a few Transcendance Tribulation cultivators and several Semi-Immortals, but now with an Immortal here, this exceeds my capabilities,” he pleaded.

“Wouldn’t it be better if you, Ancestor, were to watch over Captive Peak yourself?”

Daoist Xiantian looked down at the child Grandmaster clinging to his leg, then lifted his head to survey the inmates of Captive Peak.

He then hesitated and pointed to himself incredulously.

“Me, watch over Captive Peak?”

Wasn’t that a bit too much to ask, considering his mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation level?
