Suddenly, someone exclaimed in surprise, and everyone looked up at the sky in shock. The sky was filled with a misty haze that lingered for a long time, as if celebrating something.
Legend has it that only cultivators with exceptional talent, who have gained the approval of Heaven and Earth, can trigger extraordinary phenomena during their advancement. No one expected Ling Qi's sudden enlightenment and advancement to be so extraordinary; how could this not excite everyone?
Only Yuan Qi wore an expression of utter certainty, as if he had expected this to happen. Even You You looked up curiously at the colorful sky; it was the first time she had ever seen such a celestial phenomenon. It was so magical, like the aurora borealis. But within those layers of misty light, what seemed to be something falling down?
Youyou rubbed her eyes, and when she looked again, the object was gone. It must have been her imagination!
Ling Qi successfully formed his Nascent Soul, and You You was the happiest person about it. She was finally free from the drudgery of writing reports every day, and she instantly felt relieved. She immediately returned all her work to Ling Qi.
Of course, as a responsible head of the family, You You didn't completely abandon her responsibilities. So, she arranged for Ling Qi to have several disciples as assistants in advance, and Ning Hui, who had just joined the sect, was one of them.
Ling Qi, true to his professionalism, handled matters that Yuan Qi and she had struggled with for days, all in less than two days with a few assistants. Perhaps due to his advancement to the Nascent Soul stage and the resulting increased spiritual power, his efficiency seemed even higher than before. He was even able to help Qiu Zhang arrange classes and grade assignments.
Youyou was dumbfounded. Humans and Superman are really different! He truly deserves to be called the man who caused the extraordinary phenomena of heaven and earth.
She silently gave Ling Qi countless likes, thinking she could finally relax for a while, when the little monster Fenze suddenly brought someone back from outside...
"What is this?" Youyou stared at the bloody mess in front of her, covered in mud, and seemingly devoid of any life. She almost couldn't tell that it was a person.
"I picked it up from the forest where I used to raise my furry friend." Fenze Baby licked its body affectionately. It had only two or three millimeters of tiny stubble, and it was afraid of getting even a little bit dirty, which would affect its growth. It even dragged the person it had just carried back wrapped in spiritual energy.
"Why are you picking up things randomly?" Youyou looked at him speechlessly and found that the person on the ground was covered with deep wounds all over his body, and his back was covered with fine marks, obviously dragged out by Fenze.
"I thought he was a disciple of the sect because he was wearing white clothes, but who knew he wasn't!" Fenze explained. "You don't want him? I'll just throw him back."
As it spoke, it jumped forward, making a move as if it really wanted to drag it away.
"Wait!" Youyou quickly picked up the beast and brought it back. If it dragged her again, she would really be dead. She suddenly felt a headache coming on. Did all small animals have the habit of bringing things home?
Yuan Qi, however, simply made a hand seal and cleaned the person on the ground. Instantly, the mud on the person's body disappeared, revealing their true appearance. Only then could they see clearly that it was a man wearing tattered white clothes. It was unclear what had happened, but his entire body was covered with deep, bone-revealing wounds, each surrounded by a ring of charred black. The wounds were increasingly gruesome and terrifying, as if they were about to break a person in two. There wasn't a single piece of good flesh on his body.
Everyone in the hall gasped. They had never seen anyone so badly injured, and miraculously, the person was still alive. Although their breath was weak, they were definitely not dead.
Yuan Qi subconsciously stopped the bleeding before stepping forward to take the pulse. After a moment, he suddenly paused, looking surprised, "Huh?!"
"What's wrong?!" Youyou asked, "Can this person be saved?" After all, it's a human life.
Yuan Qi's eyes darkened. He looked deeply at the person on the ground before slowly turning back to the crowd and saying, "He... is not human."
ah?!
Everyone was stunned. You You almost thought he was swearing, but then she realized, "You mean he's not human? Is he a demon?"
“No!” Yuan Qi shook his head, stood up and looked at him, saying, “This person has extraordinary talent and bone structure. He must have formed his bones from the convergence of spiritual energy. He is also free from the karmic ties that bind him, and he has transcended this mortal realm. Therefore… he is an immortal!”
Youyou: "..."
Everyone in the hall: "..."
What!!!
∑(っ°Д°;)っ
"An immortal... an immortal!" Even the usually composed Ling Qi could hardly believe it. He had only felt that the other party's aura was unexpectedly profound, but he couldn't discern his cultivation level, so he thought he was just a high-level cultivator. He never expected that he would actually be an immortal. "An immortal from the upper realm, how could he appear on the Immortal Marsh Continent?"
"That's right!" Feng Yu said in disbelief, "Immortals who ascended to the mortal realm have never been known to descend to the lower realm before. This person... no, how could this immortal be here?"
"I don't know why either?" Yuan Qi glanced at the immortal on the ground again. Logically speaking, only the gods have the ability to travel between the three realms; immortals do not have this ability.
The gazes of the crowd towards the person on the ground instantly became even more complex. This was actually an immortal! It was the first time they had ever seen a real immortal, but... this was just too pitiful.
You You pondered for a while, then suddenly remembered the figure that had fallen from the sky during Ling Qi's advancement. At the time, she thought it was an illusion, but now it seemed that it must be that person!
"Father Yuan, what should we do now?" If he is an immortal, his body should be different from theirs, and they can't just treat him blindly.
“Although we don’t know how he descended to the mortal realm, the injuries on his body must have been caused by forcibly descending.” Yuan Qi pondered for a while and said, “Mortal pills won’t have much effect on him. We might as well settle him down first. Whether he can wake up or not depends on his own fate.”
You You nodded and beckoned to Ling Qi and Feng Yu, asking them to help move the person to the back hall. Looking at his horrific wounds, she couldn't bear it any longer and fed him a few pills. While they wouldn't do much good, they could at least make the wounds look a little better.
It must be said that the body of an immortal is different from that of an ordinary person. In less than three days, the wounds on his body began to heal visibly, and he woke up on the fourth day. However, the temperament of this immortal also seems to be different.
Before Youyou even saw the person, someone came to report that the other party had knocked out the disciple she had sent to take care of him and was heading towards the Spirit Gathering Pool in the sect.
She was immediately angry. What kind of person was he? She rushed over to the Spirit Gathering Pool and found that he had snatched a disciple's sword, which was issued by the sect, from one of the disciples and was attacking the formation above the Spirit Gathering Pool.
The Spirit Gathering Pool is where the sect's spiritual veins converge, and it is also the center of the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array. If this place is destroyed, the entire sect's spiritual energy will dissipate and revert back to spiritual veins. The other party is clearly after the spiritual veins.
However, the defensive formation above the Spirit Gathering Pool was set up by Yuan Qi. Perhaps it was too strong, because the man tried to cut through the formation for a long time but couldn't. He was panting heavily, leaning on his sword and looking extremely exhausted.
Yu You, who was getting increasingly anxious: "..."
Ling Qi: "..."
Feng Yu: "..."
Everyone: "..."
This immortal seems... not so capable!
