Chapter 173 Visitors
"Master, what will I do if you leave one day? The world will be vast and desolate, and I will be of no use to you anymore."
Liu Junmu opened her eyes and found herself in the same unchanging bedroom, a space filled with her own presence. The suffocating feeling vanished instantly, as if nothing had ever happened.
Was the master in her dream her real master?
And is she the person she knows?
Liu Jun hadn't dreamed in a long time; even when he was asleep, his mind was always a blank.
As usual, she cast a cleansing spell on herself, then got up and stretched her limbs. She summoned a bronze mirror and looked at her reflection for a while before changing her hairstyle to a more pleasing one and habitually putting on a mermaid veil before going out.
It was early summer, and the sun was shining brightly outside, its rays quite intense.
Since she had already promised Lü Yuanbai yesterday to go see him, she couldn't go back on her word. As for the time she was going, she hadn't said anything, but naturally, as long as she went before midnight today, it wouldn't be considered late.
It's others who requested to see her, not the other way around. Even if she doesn't show up today, no one will dare to say anything, right?
Liu Jun walked out of the courtyard again before throwing out a spirit sword. He was about to step on it when he suddenly paused, recalled the spirit sword, and summoned a new immortal sword before stepping on it and driving it toward the main peak.
As for showing off, a single immortal sword is enough to impress her; there's no need for a natal sword. There's nothing or no one on the Yuanzhou Continent that would make her reveal her natal sword.
……
The Xuanshan Sect has many disciples and retainers, and it's already common to bump into people every ten or eight steps. This is even more so on the main peak. Now, it's even more lively than the big markets, and it's practically overflowing with people.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that apart from the disciples of the Xuanshan Sect, everyone who came was either of high status or possessed great cultivation and strength, which was quite different from the previous joint competition.
This is only what can be seen within the sect; there are many more people outside the sect, at the foot of the mountain, who are not allowed to come up.
The scene was so exaggerated that it was something I had never seen before. Some of the elders who had been in the Xuanshan Sect for hundreds of years had never seen anything like it.
Just to see that person, and even then, it's uncertain whether they'll actually get to see him. Other sect patriarchs don't receive this treatment when they come out of seclusion, which shows that the name and reputation of Immortal Qingjun are exceptionally high.
A banquet had been prepared in the main hall of the main peak long ago, and there were quite a few people in the hall. However, most of them were the elders and stewards of the sect. There were not many outside guests. Apart from three of the eight people, there were six others who could not be refused. All the others were not allowed to enter the hall.
The patriarch said he wouldn't meet with too many people, but he didn't give a specific number, so this was the only arrangement we could make.
The elders and patriarchs of the sect should not care, but it's hard to say about others.
Those gathered outside the gate surrounded the main hall in layers, completely blocking the way. They had thrown all decorum and dignity to the wind in order to see that person, and waited like common people for most of the day.
"coming!!!"
Whether it was someone with sharp eyes or Liu Jun who had no intention of hiding, a beam of light flew towards them. Before the sound even faded, a figure appeared at the head of the hall, none other than Liu Jun, who was slowly flying over.
The woman's entrance was neither particularly romantic nor elaborate; she simply appeared in everyone's sight in an ordinary manner. Yet, seeing her at the very top, no one dared to treat her with disrespect.
The clothes she wore were unique in the world, and no one could imitate their exquisite beauty. No one could wear them with such ethereal grace, which was enough to demonstrate her status.
The elders and stewards within the sect all bowed and greeted, "Welcome, Ancestor!"
Everyone in the hall rose and bowed in greeting: "Immortal Qingjun."
Liu Jun raised his hand and set up a barrier around the main hall to isolate communication between the inside and outside, before replying, "Well, let's skip that. I came here on a whim today, so please make yourselves at home."
"Thank you, ancestor!"
Although he said it was up to you, no one dared to sit down unless Liu Jun did. The people outside the hall were even more confused as to why they could no longer hear what was being said inside, but they could still see it.
"As expected of Immortal Qingjun, I couldn't sense the existence of the barrier at all."
"Be content, at least you can see what this legendary Immortal Qingjun looks like."
"Oh wow, my fellow immortal, you have such sharp eyes! You knew that Immortal Qingjun was wearing a veil?"
"you!"
"Oh dear, although we can't see the immortal's face, we can tell from his figure that the immortal must be extremely beautiful."
"Isn't that obvious? Otherwise, why would they be called immortals?"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately stopped arguing and turned to look at the person, creating an inexplicable silence.
"No, isn't that right? What's wrong?"
"If you think the title 'Immortal' comes from her appearance, I advise you to hurry back to your sect. Be careful not to get beaten so badly that your dantian is ruptured. You're just a newborn calf who doesn't know what he's talking about."
Those inside the hall had no idea what the people outside were saying, and even if they did, they would only shake their heads and sneer.
They might know the name "Immortal Qingjun," but they would never know her significance on the mainland. The idea that she could single-handedly defeat an army of thousands is child's play.
Apart from a few people who ascended to immortality in the generation of Yan Zhi, no one has ascended to immortality since then on the Yuanzhou Continent.
Although the Yuanzhou Continent is not a place lacking in spiritual energy, only a very few people with exceptional talent can ascend to immortality, and now there is only one person with any hope.
Even those few known Tribulation Transcending stage experts are hard to say whether they can ascend to the heavens in one step. Moreover, most of them are in seclusion and it is unknown when they will show their faces. They might not even be able to see each other one last time before they are gone.
Now, not only have they met this legendary person, but Bei Fangxuan Yin, Hu Luodanlin, and three others have met at once. Where else can you see such a scene? Seeing it is a real bonus.
"It's been a long time since I've seen Qingjun. She looks even more elegant and beautiful now!"
Aside from Lü Yuanbai sitting next to Liu Jun, the person sitting at the very front, who was also closest to the head of the table, struck up a conversation with Liu Jun in a very familiar manner.
Liu Jun glanced at him inexplicably. He was dressed in fine clothes and had a handsome face, but why did he look like a spoiled young master who was harassing respectable women? It completely diminished the appeal of his good looks.
"you……"
"Bei Muliu, Qingjun has such a good memory, hehe~"
Well, it seems she didn't say anything at all...
Lu Yuanbai, standing to the side, looked around nervously, trying to find something to look for. He had no right to interfere in the affairs of powerful beings; he had already spoken to the ancestor about it yesterday.
Liu Jun took two steps unhurriedly and sat down in the seat that Lü Yuanbai had prepared for her before speaking: "First, I am not familiar with Fellow Immortal Bei; second, I do not wish for someone I am not familiar with to call me that. In the future, please use my full name, Fellow Immortal Bei."
Bei Muliu seemed not to understand: "How come Qingjun is being so distant after only a few years? I'm so heartbroken!"
Those present vaguely sensed something big was going to happen and immediately pricked up their ears to listen (???)?
Liu Jun almost lost his composure: "How come I remember that I only met Fellow Immortal Bei a few times, and that was all a thousand years ago?"
"Although we've only met a few times, I fell in love with you at first sight, and my heart is completely devoted to you. Why won't you even look at me? I'm so heartbroken~"
Liu Jun's eyes twitched. Holy crap! She thought he was just an ordinary admirer, but she didn't expect him to be so shameless. No wonder he even changed his name for her.
Liu Jun completely ignored his question to the others present: "Did you all come to see me today just to listen to him spout this nonsense?"
"Of course not. We came to pay our respects to Immortal Qingjun so that we could discuss the Dao with him and seek his guidance."
A bearded middle-aged man cupped his hands in response, casually glancing at Bei Muliu, who resembled a peacock spreading its tail feathers, showing no fear whatsoever.
"And who is this fellow immortal?"
"Beyond the mountains, the yellow wind blows."
Beyond the mountains?
That place is quite far from Penglai Stream, even twice as far as Lingshui. How did he manage to get here in a single day? Or was he already living at Xuanshan Sect?
Lu Yuanbai only reported yesterday that three of the eight people had arrived, but didn't mention the others. Judging from Huang Feng's strength, he's not much different from the other guests present.
In fact, Liu Jun never figured out how those eight people were ranked, and the book didn't write much about them.
Take Bei Muliu for example. Liu Jun could clearly sense that he was not as powerful as Xuan Wu, yet he was ranked first among the eight, while Xuan Wu was ranked third.
As for Huang Feng, he is definitely among the top three in strength among this group. The second place is the one sitting at the end who looks quite young, though he only looks young.
However, Huang Feng was not among the eight people, so Liu Jun did not know how they ranked them. Was it based on appearance?
Uh... it doesn't seem like that. Could it have been arranged when he was younger? ⊙_⊙
