199: Chapter 79: Forging to Heaven’s Doorstep 199: Chapter 79: Forging to Heaven’s Doorstep This burly-looking Sect Leader of Yuan Sect had a rather refined Daoist title.
Lin Yuan, whose birth name was Lin Yuan, adopted the Daoist title of Lin Yuan after taking over as the Sect Leader of Yuan Sect, to constantly remind himself that the circumstances of the Yuan Sect were deteriorating day by day, and as the Sect Leader, he could not afford any slackness.
——These were things Lin Yuan had just chatted about with Li Ping’an.
At this moment, the Sect Leader of Yuan Sect stood silently in the sky to the west side of the sect, alongside three elders and over a dozen Immortals, all gazing towards the west.
Li Ping’an stood by Lin Yuan’s side, both fixated on the colossal stone gate before them.
The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and the Great Dao of Time were what constituted the spatial-temporal rules of this world and were foundational to its existence.
Generally, only Golden Immortals were permitted to comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and only Taiyi were allowed to comprehend the Great Dao of Time.
The “comprehension” here merely meant to sense and understand these two Great Dao, to master certain divine skills, such as “Shrink Earth into Inches” and “Flickering Blossoms with a Snap,” rather than cultivating based on these two Dao as a foundation.
One of the major applications of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth was the Teleportation Formation.
The Human Race’s ancient masters of formation spent all their efforts transmuting the Teleportation Formation into the stone gates that could be repeatedly dismantled and reassembled;
As of today, this kind of Teleportation Formation has quite matured, with the only downside being its steep cost, consuming Spirit Stones like flowing water whenever activated.
It was the Forge-Heaven Gate that could afford such extravagance.
At this moment, the great formation had started operating, and the stone gate bloomed with light azure whirlpools, from which beams of immortal light flew out, turning into silhouettes one after the other.
Li Ping’an’s heart heated up as he watched, and his Primordial Soul muttered softly within the spiritual platform, “”Old Tiangong, does my master possess any cheaper methods of creating the Teleportation Formation for artifact refining?””
“A cheaper Teleportation Formation?”
The Artifact Spirit of the Myriad Manifestation Chart shimmered into existence, floating over the palm of Li Ping’an’s Primordial Soul.
When Tiangong appeared, his profound Spiritual Power entirely enveloped Li Ping’an’s spiritual platform.
Thus, unless one was a Taiyi Golden Immortal, no one could probe Li Ping’an’s spiritual platform, and most Taiyi Golden Immortals could recognize that this was the Dao Charm of the Great Power Yun Zhongzi of Jade Void Palace.
This was the protection that Yun Zhongzi bestowed upon his half-disciple.
Tiangong was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly, “I have not found the kind of Teleportation Formation the master mentioned, but the old master did have other methods for crafting artifacts of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, capable of traversing Heaven and Earth, and they can be refined with the power of the Heavenly Immortal Realm only.”
“Understood, this is for later.”
Li Ping’an’s Primordial Soul laughed,
“You can rest, Tiangong, I will continue to enjoy the spectacle.”
“Master, call upon me anytime,” Tiangong said, and the glimmer of light at Li Ping’an’s spiritual platform quietly receded.
The swirling immortal light ceased in the Teleportation Formation to the west, and the stone gate loomed silently in the clouds.
Looking in front of the stone gate, the immortals of Forge-Heaven Gate were gathered.
Twelve elderly Heavenly Immortals with white hair, thirty-six first-rank True Immortals, one hundred and eight first-rank Primordial Immortals, along with thirty-six young male disciples and thirty-six young female disciples, had arranged themselves in neat rows, headed toward the gates of Yuan Sect majestically.
Li Ping’an observed with a smile.
Those from the Forge-Heaven Gate, not only the male and female disciples wearing uniform robes, even the Daoist robes of the True Immortals and Primordial Immortals had their own regulations, but only the twelve elderly Heavenly Immortals were distinctly dressed.
“Dear nephew,” Lin Yuan said with a smile, “come with me to meet them!
You don’t have to announce which sect you belong to, I’ll just say you’re my nephew!”
Li Ping’an smiled, “Thank you for looking out for me, uncle.”
Lin Yuan chuckled, then with hands clasped behind his back, he led Li Ping’an and the rest of the immortals of Yuan Sect forward.
The two groups paused their cloud-riding several miles apart, beginning to bow and exchange courtesies.
Lin Yuan called out loudly, “Friends from Forge-Heaven Gate, have you come to visit our Yuan Sect?”
I trust you’ve been well!”
A clear male voice rose from behind the twelve elderly Heavenly Immortals, and a ‘young male cultivator’ stepped forward.
Li Ping’an arched an eyebrow subtly, immediately noticing something special about this man.
Indeed, he stood out starkly against the backdrop of elders.
He was eight feet tall with a face like fine jade, clothed in a bright white crane robe, with a gold-sheathed longsword hanging at his waist.
His long hair was coiled into a Daoist hairdo, with a horizontal hairpin that held two white ribbons dangling from its ends.
As he walked forward from the clouds, his bearing exuded a bold and vivid charm, his eyes beneath his sword-like eyebrows glinted with divine light, and his smile could easily make people feel as though they were bathed in the warmth of spring.
Most importantly, he was indeed a powerful expert of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and his strength loomed subtly above those of the twelve elderly Heavenly Immortals.
Lin Yuan’s eyes brightened.
If it isn’t Immortal Yun Shen!
After a hundred years, you have made further progress in your Great Dao, I truly envy you.”
Li Ping’an took another careful look at this young Heavenly Immortal.
With many towns in the East Continent, there were always those who liked to compile rankings such as the Catalogue of Hundreds of Immortals, the Catalogue of Beauties, and so on.
Mo Yunshen from Forge-Heaven Gate was a big celebrity in the cultivation world of East Continent in the past five hundred years, stepping into the Heavenly Immortal realm after 129 years of cultivation and hailed as one of the leading figures of the younger generation in East Continent.
Now in his three or four hundreds, Mo Yunshen’s strength was already close to a fifth-rank Heavenly Immortal, showcasing his extraordinary talent and fortune.
Mo Yunshen exchanged a few pleasantries with Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan inquired, “May I ask why Immortal Yunshen has brought such a grand assembly to the gates of our Yuan Sect today?”
Mo Yunshen laughed heartily:
“I heard that the immortals of Wanyun Sect are visiting, and since my name also contains the character ‘Yun’, I naturally wanted to join in the fun!”
“Oh?” Lin Yuan chuckled, “If it were any other day, I would gladly entertain all the honorable guests.
But unfortunately, today there are some disorderly matters inside the sect.”
