One and a half years later.
Tian Yongheng’s eyes were dazed as he looked into the distant horizon.
At this moment, he suddenly sensed someone’s presence down the mountain.
He didn’t even need to probe with his Divine Sense and could tell just from the presence who it was.
Lu Qingfeng!
After a few moments, Lu Qingfeng appeared behind Tian Yongheng at the summit and quickly greeted him with a bow, his fists clasped.
"Disciple greets master!"
Turning his head around, he raised his hand and gestured for him to sit beside him. Lu Qingfeng quickly followed his instructions and sat down by his side, cross-legged.
"It seems you have encountered some difficulties, haven’t you?" Tian Yongheng asked with a straight face and neutral tone of voice, waiting for Lu Qingfeng to reply.
"Master, I just don’t get it, but it seems like my cultivation speed is too slow. I’ve heard other fellow disciples telling things they did in the outside world, and how they traveled all over, meeting many new people, making both new friends and enemies. I feel like I won’t ever be able to achieve something if I keep cultivating like this.
Cultivation is increasingly difficult with each breakthrough, I don’t just want to sit and cultivate, I also want to experience the outside world.
And I still haven’t paid off my debts to the Lu Martial Family of the mortal world. I know that revenge is not the way, but I’m afraid I may develop Heart Demons at this rate. Please guide me as to what should I do." Lu Qingfeng spoke earnestly, putting all his doubts in front of his master as he looked down.
"Who told you that revenge is not the way?" Suddenly, Tian Yongheng’s neutral, calm voice echoed in Lu Qingfeng’s ears.
"Huh?"
He lifted his head up and looked at Tian Yongheng with confusion evident in his eyes.
Don’t all the scriptures and the ancient saints preach that revenge is not the way...?
Did I make a mistake?
Lu Qingfeng couldn’t help but think.
"Revenge is not the way, but if not done properly, it will certainly become a regret in the future transforming into a Heart Demon that will obstruct you on your path to immortality. So it’s best to take revenge properly and annihilate all possibilities of it becoming a regret in the future." Tian Yongheng elaborated further, maintaining a composed and indifferent demeanor.
Lu Qingfeng, hearing his words, was deeply moved. When he was still a mortal, he had heard myths and legends that even Immortal Gods may face difficulties in their path to achieve the Immortal Dao because of past regrets. But he didn’t think too much of it at that time, as he had no connections with something as noble as Immortal Cultivation at all.
However, things were entirely different now. He was not only an Immortal Cultivator himself, but also had someone like Tian Yongheng as his master as well.
Having deeply understood something and gaining enlightenment, he nodded hastily.
At this point, Tian Yongheng spoke again, "As for going out to experience the outside world, are you sure about that? Are you confident that you will be able to protect yourself?" He asked, just to make sure.
"Yes, master. I don’t want to have any Heart Demons in the future, either." Lu Qingfeng replied, his voice stern and motivated.
"Hm...as you wish, then. But first of all, awaken your True Yang Body, only then will I allow you to step out of the Eternal Peak."
Tian Yongheng wasn’t worried about Lu Qingfeng dying outside, he was not only the Providence Bearer of Heaven’s Will but also the Son of Heavenly Dao, two top notch Connate Providences related to Providence and fate. It meant that the heavens were on his side and wouldn’t let him die by no means.
As for attracting trouble, Tian Yongheng was prepared to deal with it. He trusted Lu Qingfeng and knew that his disciples won’t just offend anyone for no reason.
If the other person seeks trouble, then nothing can be done.
He was a cautious person and did not like to pick fights unnecessarily, but he was most certainly not afraid of trouble.
Everyone had their own paths and ways to achieve the Immortal Dao, and he couldn’t force anyone, not even his disciples, to just remain in the mountain and cultivate quietly.
It was his path, and the others had their own paths as well. He would undoubtedly support them on their own paths, though.
Hearing Tian Yongheng’s words again, Lu Qingfeng was somewhat astonished before nodding. But he placed another question in front of him, "But master, how should I awaken my True Yang Body..."
Before he could even finish speaking, Tian Yongheng cut him off, "Do not worry about it. I’ll help you with that." He said, as if discussing a simple matter.
Yes, in the past few years, he had also learned how to awaken Lu Qingfeng’s True Yang Body by observing the sunrise and sunsets every morning and evening.
The sun rises from the east, carrying traces of hope and a new beginning, then sets in the west, marking an epic and glorious end.
The Essence of the Sun nourishes the body and mind, while the Essence of the Moon nourishes the soul.
Tian Yongheng deeply understood these things, and thus, came to the conclusion that this may be the only way to awaken Lu Qingfeng’s True Yang Body.
The Heavenly Grand Unity Method that Lu Qingfeng cultivated was a cultivation technique that united and balanced out all the attributes, Yin-Yang, the five elements, and all the other special attributes.
With the help of that cultivation technique along with Lu Qingfeng’s other Connate Providences, it would be relatively easy to awaken his True Yang Body. He just needed to absorb the Essence of the Sun and Moon.
With that, Tian Yongheng began to guide Lu Qingfeng slowly.
...
Meanwhile, Luminous Jade Chamber.
At the mountaintop outside of the Supreme Elder’s abode.
Su Yanlan had just broken through to the Eighth Stage of Innate Realm and was seated cross-legged, facing Chu Tianming. Both of them held teacups in their hands and were sipping the Spiritual Tea.
A silence filled the air as neither of them spoke up.
After a long time, Chu Tianming finally spoke, breaking the calmness and serenity.
"Lan’er, I think you should leave the Luminous Jade Chamber and look for opportunities in the outside world. It’ll be even better if you can join a powerful faction that can cherish your talent and make you into a formidable figure of the cultivation world." He said in a calm tone of voice, his expression solemn.
Listening to him, Su Yanlan narrowed her eyes. Chu Tianming was not only the Supreme Elder, but the former Chamber Master of the Luminous Jade Chamber, and also her master.
After he broke through and became the first Golden Core Realm cultivator in the history of the Luminous Jade Chamber, she was naturally overjoyed. It was their mistake for thinking of targeting an opponent, Tian Yongheng, who they had absolutely no inside knowledge of.
But now, her master was telling her to leave the place where she was raised in and stayed at for over a thousand years. How could she do that so easily?
Naturally, she knew why her master had said such a thing. She had Three-Elemental Spiritual Roots, which was enough for her to breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm effortlessly.
But at the same time, she also possessed another powerful talent. She didn’t know what it was, but it was enough to make her cultivation speed on par with geniuses with Heavenly Spiritual Root.
The Luminous Jade Chamber, in the end, was only a Second-Rate faction at best with the existence of Chu Tianming, a Golden Core Realm cultivator. It could allow her to cultivate to the Golden Core Realm at most, which was no different than wasting her potential.
They were thinking like this because they knew there existed ways to improve one’s Spiritual Roots, but they were only known by high level powers.
So, the only way was for her to join a First-Rate force. One had to keep in mind that a First-Rate power usually had at least one Tribulation Transcendence Realm mighty figure.

Even the Qingyun Sword Sect, with the existence of their Nascent Soul Realm Supreme Elder, could only be considered a top tier Second-Rate faction.
Being the disciple of such a power was already not even in Su Yanlan’s wildest dreams, forget about a First-Rate faction.
At this point, Chu Tianming hesitated momentarily before saying, "Why don’t you try to join the Eternal Peak? There’s most possibly a great power backing them up, and we have personally witnessed the strength of the Master of Eternal Peak. Even his existence alone makes the Eternal Peak a formidable power, and if it grows for some millennium, I’m sure it can evolve into a First-Rate faction.
If you join it right now, with your current strength and talent, there’s no doubt you’ll be one of the leading figures of the Eternal Peak when it transforms into a First-Rate power."
