At this moment, Zhu Dong suddenly turned around to see an old man sitting next to him.
The old man had a single horn on his head and wore a plain blue robe, with long white hair and beard.
Zhu Dong smirked before saying, "What? Here to have a Dao Discussion again?"
The old man looked slightly ashamed but also motivated as he sat down with a snort.
"Yes. My cultivation has improved much after the last time you preached the Dao. However, don’t think you’re all that just because you’re the reincarnation of a great cultivator, your cultivation has just reached the Void Refinement Realm right now."
Zhu Dong didn’t say anything and just revealed a mocking smile before he and the old man started to discuss the Dao.
Zhu Dong had specifically revealed to this old man in front of him about him having memories of his past life, thus his great insights.
However, he did not reveal his actual cultivation level, just that it used to be higher than the old man’s.
It was because there were simply too many enemies pursuing Zhu Dong right now, and he needed to hide in a major faction to avoid trouble.
The Dragon King Temple, being an ancient major faction that worshipped the Dragon King was the perfect choice.
This old man before him was called Long Mingyu, a Flood Dragon who was a sweeper at the Dragon King Temple while also being one of their strongest forces in the Mortal World, a Early Stage Half Immortal.
One had to know that there were less than a hundred Half Immortals in the Second Great Mortal World alive even in such a prosperous age like the Mythical Era.
A Half Immortal was the highest authority in the Lower Realm.
With Long Mingyu’s help, Zhu Dong easily entered the Dragon King Temple to cultivate till he was ready for ascension after becoming an Half Immortal.
Of course, he wouldn’t just stay in the Dragon King Temple but also go out to search for ways to recover his cultivation as fast as possible.
And one such way was the recently famous Prodigy Convention being held in the Eastern Continent right now.
Even though it wasn’t a known but instead a secretive event, Zhu Dong knew about it as the prodigies of the Dragon King Temple were also invited.
Long Mingyu didn’t tell him anything, but he guessed that the righteous path’s major factions were plotting something.
After finishing his preaching session, Zhu Dong waited for Long Mingyu to wake up.
A few days later.
Long Mingyu, who was immersed in Dao comprehension, finally woke up.
As soon as he opened his eyes, Zhu Dong immediately asked him flatly, "Can I also go to the Prodigy Convention in the Eastern Continent?"
"Huh? Why do you want to go? Aren’t you an old man like me?"
Long Mingyu asked skeptically.
"I just wish to take a look. Perhaps I can find some treasures to recover my cultivation quickly."
"Isn’t your cultivation speed already pretty exaggerated? You want to increase it even more?"
Long Mingyu couldn’t help but ask again, slightly shocked.
"You don’t know. I wish to achieve at least the Immortal Ascension Realm in the next 500 years."
Zhu Dong replied with a casual smirk.
Hearing his words, Long Mingyu fell silent.
After a long time, he sighed and finally spoke, "Alright. Just don’t get in the way of the various righteous path prodigies, even the Dragon King Temple won’t be able to protect you if you offend too many major factions, specially the Kunlun Divine Mountain."
"Of course I won’t. Who do you think I’m?"
Then, both of them started to chat about various things, both cultivation and world related.
...
At the same time.
Northern Continent.
Ice Mystic Holy Land.
Snow fell heavily as the land was full of white, with frozen lakes and cold forests.
There rarely came a day when sunlight could shine down on the Northern Continent, the event only occurring once or twice a year. This was why there were not so many factions or even living beings in the Northern Continent.
All those who were here were either powerful cultivators immune to the extreme cold or had protective Array Formations protecting their forces which could maintain a warm weather.
However, there were as many treasures hidden in the Northern Continent, making it a place full of danger and opportunities.
At this moment, in the snowy fields leading towards the majestic flying islands and palaces, a young woman walked forward, a deep blue coat covering her body from the harsh and deadly snowstorm enhanced by Spirit Qi.
Looking at the grandeur of the Ice Mystic Holy Land, the woman let out a soft sigh as the coat fell onto her shoulders, revealing her stunning white hair and exquisitely beautiful face as if she had stepped out of a fairy painting.
One had to know that as a person progressed in their cultivation, their appearance would also become more ethereal and extraordinary, inching towards perfection.
It was unless that person possessed a unique Connate Providence or the intervention of higher powers that didn’t allow their appearance to change.
This was one of the reasons why almost all the people in the cultivation world were handsome and beautiful.
However, some people who were inherently divine stood out even among the myriads of Immortal Cultivators, like Mo Yuxin who was considered a great beauty of her generation or Tian Yongheng who literally had a Connate Providence that made him unmatched in terms of appearance in all of creation.
The white haired woman in the blue coat was one such person.
And she was none other than Yao Qiuyue, the transmigrator from earth who had come to the Second Great Mortal World just a few years after Tian Yongheng.
She was accepted as the Personal Disciple of the Ice Mystic Holy Land’s Holy Lord, the Frost Emperor Shi Qingyuan, and after entering the Golden Core Realm, she directly became the Holy Daughter of the Ice Mystic Holy Land, overshadowing all the other Holy Son and Holy Daughter candidates who were the Personal Disciples of the Ice Mystic Holy Land’s Supreme Elders and Great Elders.
Right now, she was coming back after traveling through the entire Northern Continent in the last few hundred years.

At this moment, a scarlet fox year stuck out of the blue coat before a small, scarlet white fox’s head looked around, it’s eyes glimming with curiosity.
"This is the Ice Mystic Holy Land?"
A coquettish, mature voice came out of the fox’s mouth.
Yao Qiuyue couldn’t help but snort coldly before side eyeing the fox sharply, scaring it into retreating inside of the coat.
"You’re a Celestial Fox, please act like it for at least once!"
Yao Qiuyue scolded the Celestial Fox for a full 30 minutes before finally stopping as they reached entrance to the Ice Mystic Holy Land.
The Array Formation automatically dispersed as Yao Qiuyue stepped inside, directly flying from there on to the Holy Lord Palace.
As she landed before the Holy Lord Palace, the gates of the palace immediately swung open, Dao rhymes seeping out from it.
These Dao rhymes...master has made a breakthrough?
Seeing the various Dao rhymes which could only manifest when a high ranking cultivator breakthroughs a minor realm or major realm, Yao Qiuyue silently made a guess as she advanced into the palace, her breathing slightly emotional but excited.
Although Dao rhymes produced after a powerful cultivator’s breakthrough could indeed help weaker cultivators alot, she wasn’t excited about that.
A minor realm breakthrough meant very much to high ranking cultivators, and as her master’s only disciple, she knew that her master was a Late Stage Half Immortal before she left.
If he made a breakthrough, then he would be a Perfected Half Immortal, one of the most powerful beings in the world right now!
As far as she knew, there were only a dozen or so Half Immortals, and less than 10 percent of them had reached Grand Completion of the Half Immortal Realm!
Being the only disciple of such an existence, how could she not be proud?
Entering the palace, her eyes landed on the figure sitting on the throne of the high platform, exactly the same as hundreds of years ago.
"Master."
Cupping her fists, she bowed slightly before she was lifted up by Shi Qingyuan’s Spiritual Energy, which felt far stronger than the last time.
She looked at him curiously, and before she could even ask anything, she got the answer.
"Yes, I’ve attained Great Perfection."
Shi Qingyuan smiled softly as he said this.
"You must have obtained a great opportunity too, for you to have reached the Void Refinement Realm in just 200 years of traveling the continent."
Yao Qiuyue took a deep breath to calm down before explaining, "Yes, master. I obtained the inheritance of an ascended cultivator. There were many high ranking treasures and pills in it which allowed me to cultivate quickly."
"Good. Since you’ve come back, I wanted to ask you of something."
Shi Qingyuan suddenly asked, his tone or voice turning a little serious.
"Please go ahead, master." Said Yao Qiuyue.
Shi Qingyuan straightened up before speaking in a deep voice.
"Do you wish to go to the Eastern Continent for the upcoming Prodigy Convention?"
