Lonemoon pursed his lips. He had no choice but to glare back at the people who were staring at him with “concern”.

“Is there a problem?”

“Brother Lonemoon.” Tian Yi stared at him. Suddenly, he reached into the storage bag hanging by his side and pulled out a ring. He pulled off the defensive dharmic hair clasp from his head, along with every other accessory he had been wearing. Then… He handed them all over to Lonemoon. Very seriously, he said, “Once I ascend to the upper realm, I might not have a use for this anymore. I’m going to leave them all to you now. Brother Lonemoon, the quality of your body is much better than mine. I’m very sure that you’ll ascend to immortality very soon. Your friend will be rooting for you from above.”

Lonemoon: “…” Why did he feel like he was being kept by this man?

But he was handing him all these spirit stones for no reason – Lonemoon just could not turn it down!

↖(^ω^)↗

“Thank you, Brother Tian Yi.”

“We’re all brothers – there’s no need to stand on ceremony!” Tian Yi waved his hands and continued sincerely, “I can ascend o immortality only because of your reminder that day. These things are nothing compared to that.” He was about to say more, but the suction from above was getting stronger and stronger. Anxiously, he shouted, “I have to go. Take care, Brother Lonemoon!”

With that, his body ascended upward.

Lonemoon looked down at the bunch of things in his hands. He sighed and retrieved a white jade token, then threw it over to Tian Yi. “Hold on to this!”

Tian Yi caught it instinctively. It looked like an ordinary jade token to him. It was not a dharmic weapon, nor was it a spirit talisman. There were just two different phrases carved into each side of the jade token. One side said “Bo Sea” and the other side said “Invincible”.

“This is…” Tian Yi hesitated.

“You’ll understand once you arrive above.” Lonemoon waved his hand, offering no further explanation.

The next moment, Tian Yi disappeared into the golden beam within the clouds, and into the upper realm. The golden light dissipated. It turned into spiritual raindrops.

All the disciples looked instantly elated. One by one, they sat down to absorb the spirit Qi falling from above – the remnants of the Heavenly Dao’s greatness. Even the various Nascent Soul elders sat down. There had not been a single cultivator who managed to ascend to immortality in hundreds of thousands of years. This was a rare opportunity.

Lonemoon flew back and looked straight into Yi Qing’s quizzical gaze.

Eh…

“What are you looking at!” Lonemoon glared at him.

Chef narrowed his eyes. “Did you just give him the Invincible Sect’s disciple token?”

“So what?” Lonemoon stuffed the things in his hands into his storage bag. He did hand in the school fees after all.

“Oh~” Chef continued staring at Lonemoon through his narrowed eyes. I thought you said that it costs too much to maintain the Invincible Sect and you’re not accepting any more disciples?

“Oh, your ass!” Lonemoon pursed his lips. “Get your freaking disgusting gaze off me!” Stop following Shen Ying’s annoying ways!

“Yu Hong said that the sect’s medicinal business is prospering. We can no longer depend on Boss Lan and Floaty alone to manage the business. What’s more, Boss Lan still needs to refine weapons, create talismans, water Radish, take care of Radish’s unlucky and cheap son, and even offer guidance to the sect’s disciples from time to time…” Lonemoon counted off the things that Boss Lan had to do with his fingers. It was difficult doing business in this day and age, alright?

“So…” Chef stared blankly at him. He seemed to realise something. “You sent him over there to refine pills?” What happened to the friendship?

“What else?” He rolled his eyes. “Do you want to go and help him out?”

“Er…” Chef hesitated. Very seriously, he changed the topic. “Oh that’s right – I cooked too little porridge this morning. Master must still be quite hungry. Father Niu, I’m going back to cook more food now.” Since Master isn’t around, I can’t afford to offend him – I can’t afford to!

“…” Hmph, lousy!

Yi Qing felt like he could still take control of the situation. He turned around and started to fly back to Nameless Mountain when suddenly a huge crash was heard. It was coming from the base of the mountain. The entire Gui Yi Sect vibrated from the impact. The Protective Mountain Array turned dark. The spirit swords that had been surrounding the sect’s boundaries all broke into pieces.

“Someone broke the eye of the array!” Yi Qing’s expression fell. He turned to face the right side of the sect. Someone must have gotten in while Tian Yi was going through the lightning tribulation!

Yu Luan snapped out of his meditation at the same time. “Uncle-Master Yi Qing, this…” He was just about to ask when another huge crash was heard coming from the base of the mountain. A huge amount of evil Qi floated entered Gui Yi Sect, causing the disciples to rush up the mountain.

“Sect Master!” The disciples shouted anxiously. “Reporting to Sect Mater – there are many fiendish cultivators at the base of the mountain. They’re breaking the sect gate and forcing their way in.”

“Now?” Yu Luan’s expression changed immediately. He finally understood what was happening. Uncle-Master had just ascended. This was a thing worth celebrating, but Gui Yi Sect was now short of one Soul Formation cultivator. In addition to the fact that Tian Ji had run away, Yi Qing was the only Soul Formation left. These fiendish cultivators must have thought that there was no way Gui Yi Sect would be able to fend itself against them. That’s why they’re taking this chance to attack it.

“Can you tell where these fiendish cultivators are from?” He asked in a low voice. If they dared to invade Gui Yi Sect, they must be here in huge numbers. In other words, they must be coming from a demonic sect.

“It’s the Skyfiend Sect,” a disciple confirmed.

“The Skyfiend Sect!” Yu Luan stared blankly at him. “We have never had anything to do with them. Why are they coming to attack us!” The more he spoke, the more anxious he became. He pondered over a solution while instructing the disciple, “Quick, go and inform the Mountain Masters of the other three peaks! Tell all of the Nascent Soul Perfected Ones to come with me and face the enemies.The other Mountain Masters are to guard the sect. No one is to slack in the defence! Tell them to focus on protecting the eye of the Protective Mountain Array!”

“Yes!” The disciple turned around and began to carry out Yu Luan’s instructions.

It was then that Yu Luan finally turned to Yi Qing. “Uncle-Master…”

“Let’s go.” Yi Qing understood what Yu Luan was going to say. He turned and flew toward the entrance of the mountain. Yu Luan’s chest tightened and he followed suit. Since Lonemoon had been feeling quite bored, he followed them as well.

Before the few of them arrived at the entrance, they saw the huge amounts of evil Qi filling the forest in front of the sect. It was obvious that the group had already done something to the forest. The disciples at the entrance were gravely injured. Still, they were trying their best to hang on and defend the entrance to the sect.

The array had been left behind by the ancestors of Gui Yi Sect. It would be extremely difficult for cultivators at the Soul Formation level and below to break through it. Before Yu Luan could heave a sigh of relief, they heard yet another loud crash. The array stone at the entrance of the sect broke apart and a huge crack appeared on the array at the entrance as well. A suppressive force akin to that belong to a Soul Formation cultivator in his late stages floated over to them.

“This suppressive force is… Tian Ji!” Yu Luan jumped. He looked up in disbelief, all the colour drained from his face. “Skyfiend Sect! It’s him?”

“Sect Master, what do you mean by this?” Lonemoon lowered his gaze. Actually, when he followed Yi Qing to the entrance of the sect, he already guessed that it was Tian Ji who was leading this invasion. But judging from Yu Luan’s expression, it seemed that he understood something more.

Yu Luan was looking worse by the second. He frowned deeply as he began to explain, “I heard some time ago that the sect master of Skyfiend Sect was assassinated. From then, the Skyfiend Sect adopted a new master. This new sect master ruled over the Skyfiend Sect and took over many other demonic sects at the same time. It sounded like he was trying to unite all the demonic sects. I just did not think that this person would be… Tian Ji.”

Yu Luan admitted that Gui Yi Sect had not treated this Soul Formation Supremacy well. Thus, he did not take it too personally that Tian Ji betrayed the sect and left. Yet, after he managed to unite all the demonic sects, the first thing Tian JI did was to come back and attack Gui Yi Sect. This chilled Yu Luan to the core.

The array at the entrance was completely broken by now. The person who appeared right in front of them was indeed Tian Ji.
