After hearing this, the young man was silent for a long time, as if time had stopped.
Finally, he raised his head slightly, and there seemed to be stars twinkling in his eyes, but also with an elusive depth.
His eyes looked into the distance leisurely, as if penetrating the walls of this residence.
After a long moment, he opened his thin lips slightly, his voice cold yet carrying a subtle hint of anticipation as he said softly, "This exchange conference will surely be quite interesting. Get ready, and I'll be there."
When Yun Zhongzi heard this, an ecstatic look instantly appeared on his face, as if he had received the most precious promise in the world.
He quickly knelt on one knee, clasped his hands together, and answered loudly, "Yes, Daozu! I will arrange it right away." After saying this, he hurriedly withdrew.
After Yun Zhongzi left, Su Qiyuan could no longer hold on and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
The bright red bloodstains were particularly eye-catching in this quiet residence.
However, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, outlining a faint smile, which was full of endless attachment and expectation.
"Junior sister, you are finally back."
He murmured softly, and his voice echoed gently in the empty room, as if traveling through a thousand years.
You don’t know that my senior brother has been waiting for this day in this world for tens of thousands of years.
Every minute and every second of suffering is just to meet you again.
Su Qiyuan's eyes gradually became blurred, and his thoughts drifted back to the past few days.
I felt that in the abyss, the last trace of my body left before my death had dissipated in the vast world.
But at that moment, he knew that it was a sign that his junior sister was about to return.
The system really didn't lie to me. I used my life's cultivation in exchange for my junior sister's rebirth.
Junior sister, do you know?
"During these long years, I, Senior Brother, have wandered alone on this path of cultivation, experiencing countless hardships and dangers, and nearly losing my soul countless times."
But whenever I think of you, I have the courage to persevere.
Now, you have finally stepped into this world again. Even if only this scarred body remains, I am still satisfied."
There was a faint but firm light in Su Qiyuan's eyes, which was the longing and persistence for a future reunion.
He slowly raised his hand, gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and struggled to stand up, although his body was slightly shaky.
But his back remained straight, as if declaring to fate that he would join hands with his junior sister again.
…
Before we knew it, we had been traveling for several days and finally arrived at Lingxu Palace.
At this time, many monks had gathered at the gate of Lingxu Palace, wearing different costumes.
Some were dressed in black robes, looking mysterious; some were dressed in white clothes, looking like banished immortals; and some were dressed in tight clothes, looking smart and neat. They were talking in groups of three or five, and the place was bustling with people.
I looked around curiously and saw many people holding various magic weapons in their hands.
There were spiritual weapons emitting faint light, staffs engraved with runes, and beads flashing with strange light, and more people were holding mobile phones in their hands.
It was obviously prepared for this exchange conference.
From time to time, bursts of exclamations and discussions could be heard from the crowd, as if they were comparing their respective magic weapons and cultivation experiences.
Puyang Yu also looked excited, his eyes constantly looking around.
From time to time, he would pull my sleeve, point at those new and interesting things, and mutter to himself that he would add these treasures to his Jiange when he returned.
He pulled my sleeves out of shape.
My second brother looked alert, protecting me and Sister Yanran behind him, and his eyes were moving among the crowd, watching for any potential danger.
Baili Yanran frowned slightly and said softly, "There seem to be more people coming this time than in previous years, and they all seem to be very powerful. I'm afraid this exchange conference will be more than simple."
Shangguan Zongheng was being pushed around by others and couldn't help complaining, "If it weren't for my stuttering, I wouldn't come to join in the fun with you youngsters."
Just as we were about to walk into Lingxu Palace, a melodious bell sound suddenly came. The sound was crisp and long, echoing in the mountains.
Everyone instantly quieted down and looked towards the gate of Lingxu Palace.
The heavy palace gate slowly opened, and several elders and disciples dressed in Lingxu Palace uniforms walked out.
They have strong postures, steady steps, and their eyes reveal pride and majesty.
Then a disciple said loudly: "Welcome all fellow Taoists to participate in the once-a-century exchange conference of our Lingxu Palace.
We have prepared the guest rooms and venue, please follow me."
After saying that, he turned around and led everyone into the palace.
We followed the crowd, and the moment we stepped into Lingxu Palace, I was shocked by the scene before me.
The palace is well-arranged, with flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted buildings, which show the grandeur and solemnity of Lingxu Palace everywhere.
The exotic flowers and plants in the garden emit bursts of fragrance, the spiritual springs gurgle, and the surrounding area is filled with spiritual energy, as if you are in a fairyland.
However, I had a vague feeling that this seemingly peaceful Lingxu Palace was staring at us.
After entering Lingxu Palace, we were arranged to our respective residences.
After a short rest, disciples from Lingxu Palace came to inform us that there would be various exchange activities and competitions in the next few days, and asked everyone to be prepared.
Puyang Yu couldn't hold back any longer and pulled me and Sister Yanran to go for a walk. My second brother was worried and came along too.
Along the way, we saw many monks practicing their skills in the courtyard, spells flashing and magic weapons humming.
When they arrived at a martial arts arena, they happened to witness an exciting competition. Two monks were fighting each other. One of them used the water control technique and the water dragon roared.
