Out of fear of death, Invest Everything into Health

Chapter 772: Chapter 302: Escaping from Hell, Falling from Heaven

"Junior Brother Yushan! You’ve finally succeeded in emerging from seclusion!"

Mei Jinqiu was incredibly excited about the return of Yushan Daoist, eagerly taking him around and narrating the changes on Enlightenment Peak and within the Eternal Immortal Sect over the past thirty years.

Yushan Daoist smiled and said, "Sect Leader Senior Brother, you really have put in a lot of effort."

Mei Jinqiu’s face glowed with enthusiasm, "I dare not claim credit for this achievement. It’s thanks to your fine disciple Fan Wubing!" As he mentioned Fan Wubing, his eyes sparkled, "You surely wouldn’t believe..." He began to recount Fan Wubing’s feats enthusiastically.

Although Yushan Daoist already knew about his disciple Fan Wubing’s experiences, hearing others speak of them made him involuntarily marvel,

"Truly a miracle."

Mei Jinqiu said, "Sometimes, when I look at the Eternal Immortal Sect as it is now, it feels like a dream. Wubing is like a divine being in this dream, generously bestowing various blessings."

Though Mei Jinqiu, due to his limited innate talents, had experienced several great fortuitous events, his current cultivation was only at the Mahayana stage, with the tribulation stage still far off. Within the sect, some elders and even some exceptionally talented disciples had already surpassed him in cultivation level.

However, his position as the sect leader remained unshakably stable.

The reason was simple: as long as Fan Wubing continued to support the Eternal Immortal Sect, he would always be the sect leader, unless he chose to step down voluntarily.

Thus, whenever Fan Wubing was mentioned, he felt this was a blessing as well.

Yushan Daoist smiled and said, "Though Wubing is the catalyst, the contributions of everyone in the Eternal Immortal Sect also brought everything to fruition."

"Hahaha, Junior Brother Yushan, you always consider every angle!" Mei Jinqiu said eagerly, "By the way, Junior Brother Yushan, the Eternal Immortal Sect is quite prosperous now, with plenty of high-quality cultivation resources. You should quickly improve your cultivation level. Your training room on Enlightenment Peak is still preserved, equipped with arrays for healing, spirit gathering... everything is available."

He laughed while teasing, "Even though the disciples on Enlightenment Peak acknowledge you as a great benefactor, your cultivation level should not lag too far behind theirs."

Yushan Daoist smiled warmly, "Of course, of course, I must cultivate diligently and strive to catch up with you, Senior Brother, soon."

Mei Jinqiu patted his shoulder firmly and said,

"With your talent and the current fortunate chance of the Eternal Immortal Sect, crossing the tribulation is just around the corner! A hundred years, no, eighty years! At most eighty years!"

Yushan Daoist smiled gently, "I’ll heed Senior Brother’s guidance."

Mei Jinqiu let out a long breath, "Alright, I can’t be the only one taking up your time. Several junior brothers and sisters want to see you. Over in Great Li, Junior Brother Lin Xing and Changkong heard the news and said they’ll rush back right away."

Yushan Daoist said sincerely,

"After all these years, everyone still remembers me."

"What are you saying? Isn’t it natural to care about you?"

Yushan Daoist burst into hearty laughter, his vibrant voice soaring into the sky, dissipating the clouds.

In a moment of confusion, Mei Jinqiu seemed to catch a glimpse of an immortal figure passing by. He blinked, only to find Junior Brother Yushan smiling and looking at him.

...

In Wenxin Heaven, hidden in a corner of the sky.

In the deep night, Yu Xuan the Great Saint, feeling a certain sensation, rose from the Washing Ink Courtyard and walked towards the Wenxin Stele at the end of the Wenxin Corridor.

After passing through the corridor, he saw the Wenxin Stele.

The square and upright Wenxin Stele stood in the center of Wenxin Lake. At night, the lake water appeared cold and tranquil.

He stepped forward, leaving no trace, as if walking on flat ground. With every step, lotus-like ripples spread out.

Standing in front of the Wenxin Stele, like a speck of dust, he looked up as if gazing at a starry sky.

And at the very top of this "starry sky," a "star" was emitting a faint light.

Wang Ding squinted and thought,

"The ancestor star flickers... Is the Primordial Ancestor back? But if the Primordial Ancestor were back, there should have been a message for me in advance. If it’s not the Primordial Ancestor... could it be the Jade Ancestor?"

He was startled by his own thought and quickly shook his head.

He had indeed witnessed the disappearance of the Jade Ancestor. There seemed no reason for a return.

"Jade Ancestor..." he murmured quietly, "why did you choose such a reckless path? If you were still here..." He couldn’t articulate what would be different if the Jade Ancestor were still in Wenxin Heaven and could only mutter a few groundingless words.

When he looked up again, the flickering ancestor star had completely dimmed.

After standing for a long time, Wang Ding sighed deeply, turned, and left.

...

After reuniting and joyously conversing with fellow brothers and sisters, Yushan Daoist returned to the familiar Enlightenment Peak.

Enlightenment Peak had undergone several rounds of renovation by now, but three courtyards remained untouched and well-preserved, belonging to the original three: Yushan Daoist, Fu Ming, and Fan Wubing.

Though they seldom returned, no one ever ventured in, turning these places into holy grounds on Enlightenment Peak.

The Little Moonfall and the purple qi phoenix tree stood next to Yushan Daoist’s abode.

Fan Wubing was taking a walk with An An at Little Moonfall, and upon seeing Yushan Daoist, An An enthusiastically dashed over,

"Master, you finally have some free time!"

Yushan Daoist smiled and said, "Have you been waiting for me all this time?"

An An giggled, "I have so much to tell you, Master. But Junior Brother Wubing!" She emphasized the term ’Junior Brother’ heavily, "has been showing me around. Indeed, Enlightenment Peak has the essence of you, Master!"

Yushan Daoist patted her head and then went to the purple qi phoenix tree.

Looking at this immortal tree emitting purple qi, he felt a sense of nostalgia,
