Chapter 217 Ascension: Auspicious Sixes!
Eventually, everyone in the Immortal Cloud Sect learned about Song Yin and the other six, and everyone was in an uproar!
When Qi Zibo saw Song Yin's cultivation level, he was almost scared to death and blurted out, "You've become a heretical cultivator?"
Song Yin rolled her eyes at him, "No evil cultivator can compare to my cultivation speed."
Qi Zibo: "That's true... wait, you've only been away for four years, how did you manage that?"
Song Yin briefly recounted what had happened, and seeing her master's eager expression, she said directly, "Because of me, the beings of the Xuan Tian Realm have been unilaterally blacklisted by the Heavenly Dao of the Demon Realm."
Qi Zibo: "What do you mean?"
Song Yin: "Since the Heavenly Dao of the Demon Realm refuses to allow beings from the Xuan Tian Realm to enter the Demon Realm, I can't go a second time unless my strength increases again after I ascend."
Qi Zibo opened his mouth wide: "What did you do to make the Heavenly Dao of the Demon Realm blacklist all living beings in the Xuan Tian Realm?"
Song Yin: "Oh, it's nothing serious. They just unilaterally cursed the Heavenly Dao of the Demon Realm for almost an hour, using the most offensive and vicious language they could find, without stopping, and also made multiple threats, which were all successful."
Qi Zibo: "..."
Wen Zhiling, who had just stepped into Danque Peak to see Song Yin, was speechless.
She didn't hear the beginning, but she heard the most important last sentence.
Qi Zibo took a deep breath, feeling like he couldn't breathe. "How about I expel you from the sect?"
Song Yin was displeased. "No, Master, Danque Peak is my home, I love my home." She then made a heart shape with her hands.
Qi Zibo closed his eyes, not daring to open them.
Wen Zhiling walked to Song Yin's side and asked, "Why did you curse and threaten the Heavenly Dao of the Demon Realm? Did He do something bad to you?"
Song Yin sneered, "He adjusted the power of the Mahayana tribulation for me and Shi Heming to the strongest ascension tribulation power. It can be said to be the combined power of the ascension tribulations of the Ancestral Master and the Grandmaster."
Qi Zibo opened his eyes abruptly. "Well said, the threat was brilliant. Before leaving, you should have broken into the Demon Realm and caused chaos."
Wen Zhiling: "She only insults and threatens, but never takes any real action. Yinyin is still too kind."
The Heavenly Dao of the Xuan Tian Realm, who had been keeping a close eye on Song Yin, was internally injured from holding it in. She's kind? The day she returned, she gave me a thorough dressing-down. I had to reveal the locations of thousands of rare spiritual herbs in the cultivation world before she reluctantly forgave me—reluctantly!!!
Qi Zibo suddenly realized something: "Wait a minute! You're about to ascend to immortality, won't the burden of Danque Peak fall on my shoulders again?"
Song Yin: "You should be glad that your grand-disciple Chu Tang's cultivation speed is not slow either. She has reached the Golden Core stage and will soon break through to the Nascent Soul stage."
Speaking of Chu Tang, Chu Tang has arrived.
Chu Tang casually greeted his grandmaster and the others, then his eyes lit up as he went straight to the point with Song Yin: "Master, I want a ninth-tier spirit sword!"
"Pfft." Qi Zibo forcibly suppressed his laughter, trying not to laugh. "You unfilial disciple, you've finally met your match!" Qi Zibo's lips twitched as he tried to suppress them again.
Seeing his expression, Song Yin raised an eyebrow, placed her hands on Chu Tang's shoulders, and turned Chu Tang around. "Master, your disciple's disciple needs a ninth-tier spirit sword!"
After speaking, Song Yin removed her hand from Qi Zibo's shoulder and extended it with her palm facing up.
Chu Tang followed suit and reached out her hand as well.
Looking at his two hands, Qi Zibo's headache flared up again. He pointed at Song Yin and cursed, "You unfilial disciple, look what you've done to Xiao Tang!"
Song Yin was exceptionally proud: "Isn't my appearance outstanding, Master's wife?"
Wen Zhiling nodded seriously, then lied to herself and said, "That's right."
Song Yin remained outwardly calm, but privately sent a telepathic message to Chu Tang: "Go ask your Senior Xia for it. I gave her the refining materials a long time ago. Your ninth-order spirit sword has already been forged and is just waiting for your cultivation level to increase."
Qi Zibo had a headache, but the Yan Sect Master had an even bigger headache!
Looking at Ling Zixian's current cultivation level, she suddenly regretted sending him to go with Song Yin. With his current cultivation level, Ling Zixian would reach the point where he would have to retire in the forbidden area in a few years, just like Song Yin, which was no longer suitable.
But she has reached the point where she should be cultivating herself, and it would be too troublesome and time-consuming to train a successor. She can't wait even a year now!
The problem is that her disciple actually told her he didn't want to be the sect leader anymore?
Ling Zixian: "Master, I don't want to be the young sect leader anymore, nor do I want to be the sect leader. After my trip to the Demon Realm, I've realized that being the sect leader isn't very meaningful." He had had enough of the illusion, and in the end, he figured it out on his own before breaking free from the illusion and regaining his spiritual energy.
He was already burdened by this thought, and he had also become indifferent to it. Whether he became the sect leader or not didn't matter to him. His desire to become the sect leader was mainly due to his master.
He had witnessed his master's demeanor as sect leader since childhood—powerful, composed, imposing, and dazzling. In the Immortal Firmament Sect, she commanded those with higher cultivation levels than herself; she was virtually unchallenged, and no one dared to offend her or provoke her. She was invincible. That's why he aspired to become sect leader himself, because he wanted to be like his master.
He had said this to Song Yin and the others over the past 150 years in the Blood Demon Pool, but Song Yin's expression was very strange.
Song Yin: Huh? So you mean what you say? Then who is it that's asking the ancestors in the forbidden area? Hold back, don't shatter his beautiful imagination.
Sect Leader Yan slumped in her chair, her eyes vacant, her heart breaking. If her disciple hadn't been there, she would have collapsed onto the chair. She needed to think about which of those few to train, aiming for a hundred years—no, fifty—to perfect them, and then immediately hand over the position of sect leader. Thankfully, she had several candidates in mind for the young sect leader back then, so she didn't need to waste time on choosing.
Ling Zixian sighed inwardly, "As expected of my master, he remained as calm as a mountain even after hearing such news!"
After saying these words, with a crack, Ling Zixian felt something that had troubled him for many years break.
Sensing the drastic change in spiritual energy, Sect Master Yan instantly regained his senses. "You've broken through your inner demons! And you're about to break through again!"
Ling Zixian is currently in the late stage of the Integration Realm, and after breaking through, he'll be in the early stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm. That's great! No need to wait a few years; he can retire in the forbidden area right now! Seriously, why does the master have to work himself to the bone while the disciple can just relax and be free from worldly troubles?!
Ling Zixian was stunned: "I've broken through my inner demons?"
...
News of Song Yin spread, and at the same time, rumors about Song Yin and Danque Peak spread wider and wider.
“I told you Elder Song and Danque Peak had a lot to say about them, but you didn’t believe me before! Now look at her again, look at her again! She went out to the Tribulation Transcending stage and returned to the Mahayana stage, a period of four years! And look at the elders and seniors who went out with her, which one of them didn’t make rapid progress?”
"I'm sorry, sister, I admit I was terribly wrong. Do you still have a way to get into Danque Peak?"
The female cultivator who spoke raised her chin, "That's all!" She was now a proud ordinary disciple of Danque Peak, having fought her way to the top in various selections to successfully enter the peak.
Before entering Danque Peak, he was in the early stage of Foundation Establishment; ten years after entering Danque Peak, he was in the late stage of Foundation Establishment! Who else can compare?
The female disciple was completely unaware that her talent was already quite good, allowing her to emerge victorious in various selections. Even outside of Danque Peak, her cultivation speed would still be fast. It's just that Danque Peak is too competitive; everyone there, like the peak master, loves cultivation, spending their days practicing swordsmanship or refining pills, with renowned teachers constantly providing instruction. It's no wonder their cultivation speed is so fast.
So much so that when people later sent their children to the Immortal Cloud Sect, they would repeatedly remind them: "My child, remember to work hard to reach Danque Peak, you know? The feng shui there is the best, and every single disciple of Danque Peak can ascend to immortality."
"Yes, Mother. I admire Yuan Lijun, and I will work hard!"
As a result, every disciple was eager to enter Danque Peak.
As soon as Danque Peak announces its recruitment, the disciples compete even more fiercely than they did in the Foundation Establishment Competition. You'd think they were vying for first place in the Xuan Tian Tournament.
After Song Yin returned, Qi Zibo, though he liked to curse his rebellious disciple, never went back to the forbidden area. Instead, he stayed at Danque Peak. On the contrary, Song Yin began to meditate in the forbidden area for a long time, only occasionally strolling out with Shi Heming.
Whenever Qi Zibo saw this, he would complain, "This is the life I should be living!"
Song Yin reversed the Heavenly Gang: "Now I have the highest cultivation level, so let's talk about cultivation level. Xiao Qi, keep an eye on Dan Que Peak. In two more years, when Xiao Tang breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, you can hand her over. Senior is waiting for you in the forbidden area."
Without saying a word, Qi Zibo immediately pulled out his whisk and lashed out at the rebellious disciple, shouting, "Rebellious disciple! Stop right there!"
Song Yin shielded Shi Heming in front of her, "Hey, hey, hey, they're attacking! Shi Heming, stop your master!"
Qi Zibo didn't use spiritual energy, and Shi Heming couldn't use spiritual energy either. He didn't stop them, but just stood in front of Song Yin. "Yinyin, next time you say something like that, say it in advance so I can pull you away. Although Master's whisk doesn't use spiritual energy, it still hurts quite a bit when it hits."
Song Yin: "Master's wife, save me!"
Qi Zibo looked behind him and asked, "Didn't your master's wife go to teach those brats from Wujian Peak again?"
There was no one behind him. When he looked back, his traitorous disciple had already fled with Shi Heming.
Wen Zhiling didn't come; other people did.
Xia Xining asked Qi Zibo, "Elder Qi, is Yinyin here? She said she's at Danque Peak today." Xia Xining always liked to call Qi Zibo Elder Qi; in her words, it was just a habit she'd developed since childhood.
Qi Zibo said irritably, "He made a mistake and then ran away with Shi Heming. They just flew away, how could you catch up with them?"
Xia Xining immediately raised her voice and chased after her, shouting, "You little brat, Song Yin! You've been keeping me in the dark again! You didn't come when I asked you out last time!"
Song Yin turned around and said, "Last time, Shi Heming had something come up and went to take care of other things." It wouldn't be right to say that they had overdone their dual cultivation and missed their chance to play.
Xia Xining: "You, Shi Heming, it's one thing to monopolize her all the time, but five out of ten times when you ask her out, you always thwart her plans!"
Shi Heming remained silent, but pulled Song Yinfei along even faster.
Such days are peaceful and tranquil. When something happens, it's just a trivial matter. Their cultivation no longer requires them to frequently go out to seek opportunities for breakthroughs. What they need now is time to settle down and accumulate experience.
More than thirty years after Song Yin returned from the Demon Realm, she had a premonition that she would ascend to immortality.
Before ascending to immortality, she placed a large spiritual vein from Langhuan Cave Heaven into the Qiankun Chengmai Gourd and then secretly handed it over to Sect Master Yan without telling anyone.
Song Yin: "This is a gift left by our founder of the Immortal Firmament Sect. It can save the Immortal Firmament Sect from danger in the future. Let the sect leader of the Immortal Firmament Sect know about this matter, and let the sect leader keep it safe."
She didn't say it was the founder of Danque Peak, but Qin Muyan was the founder of Danque Peak and also the founder of Xianxiao Sect. He was a founder who, even after tens of thousands of years, still cared about the sect he had personally founded, and he wanted to leave a gift for the sect on the eve of his ascension.
Sect Leader Yan accepted this heavy task, saying, "I hope the sect will never need to use it for the next tens of thousands of years."
It's a beautiful wish, even though I know it's hard to achieve.
Song Yin said goodbye to each of her relatives and friends one by one, as if she were visiting friends in person, and talked to them for a long time. Usually, people would visit Song Yin more often, but now that she was visiting them one by one, they all realized that it was time to say goodbye.
The one who was most reluctant to part with her was Shi Heming. After returning from the Demon Realm, he stayed by Song Yin's side almost every step of the way, because he knew that their time at the Immortal Cloud Sect was getting shorter every day. Therefore, whenever Shi Heming intercepted Song Yin and others from going out, Song Yin would silently cooperate.
Song Yin said to her master and mistress, "I will wait for you in the Upper Realm with my grandmaster and the others."
Wen Zhiling and Qi Zibo patted Song Yin on the shoulder. There was no sadness on their faces because they knew it was a good thing.
Qi Zibo laughed and said, "Go ahead, we are proud of you."
Wen Zhiling wrote a thick stack of letters and handed them to Song Yin, saying, "Give them to my master after you go upstairs, and ask him to prepare my accommodations. All the requirements are written in the letters."
Song Yin's hand trembled. Hearing the first half of the sentence, she thought it was about the touching incident of the Immortal Cloud Sect. But when she heard the latter part, the tone suddenly changed. Master's wife, oh Master's wife, so you are also a member of the "Rebellious Disciple Cult".
Wen Zhiling: "What kind of look is that? Isn't it only natural for a disciple to make demands of his master?"
“That’s right!” Song Yin said firmly, then laughed out loud.
Song Yin never received parental love in either of her lives, but that doesn't matter. She has the best master and mistress, whose love is no less than that of her parents, and whose love is always presentable.
On the day of their ascension, Wen Zhiling and Qi Zibo looked at Song Yin with the same pride and joy that mortal parents feel when their child passes the imperial examination with top honor.
In the end, Song Yin didn't say much to Shi Heming, because her daily companionship was the best expression of her feelings. Until the very end, she only said that.
"I'll be waiting for you in the upper realm."
"Um."
Given Shi Heming's talent, Song Yin believed she wouldn't have to wait too long.
On that day, the sky above the Immortal Firmament Sect was bathed in rosy light, which also enveloped the surrounding cities, including Immortal Firmament City. Celestial music resounded from all directions, and purple-gold light descended from the sky, illuminating all the people of the Immortal Firmament Sect.
Song Yin ascended into the sky amidst everyone's gaze. She had already separated a wisp of her divine soul and left it on Danque Peak. In the future, all ascending cultivators of the Immortal Cloud Sect would do the same.
Song Yin looked at all the disciples kneeling on the ground and shouted blessings in unison, looking at the familiar faces.
Song Yin thought to herself, "I joined the Immortal Cloud Sect at the age of six and lived in Bamboo House No. 6666. Now I'm over six hundred years old and have ascended to immortality. Not bad, not bad, I'm really six!"
She then asked the heavens, "Why is my light purple-gold?"
The Heavenly Dao of the Xuan Tian Realm said, "My child, I'm giving you the most special care. The matter of the Demon Realm is now wiped clean. I was thinking of using your favorite green, but that's too ordinary. Purple-gold is much more imposing!"
Before leaving, Song Yin spoke her last words to the Heavenly Dao of the Xuan Tian Realm.
