Chapter 587: Chapter 299 True Monarch Jing Yun_2
The entire Liu Yun Sect activated its strongest protective measures. Lord Xuan Qing and the Gold Sword True Monarch, including all Golden Core Real Persons in the sect, gathered at the top of Yuan Ling Peak for defense.

With this level of defense, unless the Eastern Sect Master of the Sun Moon Divine Sect comes, no other sect or Nascent Soul True Monarch would be able to break through in a short time.

Finally, more than a month later, the dense spiritual energy gathered in the sky seemed to be attracted by something and began to surge crazily into the cave mansion below.

Upon seeing this scene, everyone’s faces showed excitement. The picture just now, where spiritual energy was rushing in, signified that Zhou Yun Feng had successfully broken through and started absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy to nourish his body.

Unfortunately, compared with other Golden Core Real Persons, his time to absorb spiritual energy was about half a month less. This might be the drawback of breaking through the realm using a longevity pill after reaching the limit of lifespan.

The Nascent Soul that was achieved as a result would be slightly weaker than one achieved under normal lifespan limits.

However, being able to break through was very fortunate; who would care about being a little weaker? Even if it was weaker, it was still a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Moreover, their Liu Yun Sect now has three Nascent Soul True Monarchs. When it comes to strength, they are only second to the Sun Moon Divine Sect.

After a while of the spiritual energy influx, a beam of light floated out from the inside of the cave mansion, followed by a powerful Nascent Soul aura, instantly dispersing the spiritual energy still gathering above.

Soon, the cave mansion opened, and Zhou Yun Feng flew out from inside. His old face disappeared, replaced by a vibrant middle-aged appearance.

Each breakthrough into a higher realm adds to one’s longevity, so it also changes one’s appearance. However, some cultivators don’t want to change and stay in their old age appearance, which gives off a look of an elder.

This time, Zhou Yun Feng, upon becoming a Nascent Soul True Monarch, could have made his face look younger. But choosing to appear as middle-aged was probably for the sake of Qi Jing Yu.

“Thank you, master, thank you, Lord Xuan Qing, and thank you, fellow disciples, for protecting me,” said Zhou Yun Feng as he approached the crowd, expressing deep gratitude. While thanking, he cast an especially meaningful glance at Lin Yi without uttering words of individual gratitude.

He knew well that his junior brother was cautious and disliked trouble. Giving him individual thanks would certainly bring him much trouble.

Lord Xuan Qing, with emotion on his face, stated, “Jing Yun, you can call me elder brother from now on. It’s shockingly impressive. Many people, including me, believed that you wouldn’t be able to break through. However, you’ve created a miracle by breaking through the realm within the added lifespan provided by the longevity pill.”

Zhou Yun Feng also shook his head, still finding it hard to believe even now, “Elder Brother Xuan Qing, I initially planned to bid farewell to the two junior brothers and travel with my wife during the remaining lifespan. But I let go of my obsession and got an opportunity to break through the realm.”

“It’s indeed fate. Perhaps, you were just lacking a flash of enlightenment,” commented Lord Xuan Qing with a smile.

“Yun Feng, I congratulate you on becoming a Nascent Soul True Monarch. I am indeed privileged to have disciples like you,” said the Gold Sword True Monarch, congratulating Zhou Yun Feng.

Zhou Yun Feng once again bowed, “Master, it’s all because of your continual guidance that I was able to break through the realm.”

“Ha ha ha, you’re now a Nascent Soul Ancestor and you’re still calling me master?” laughed the Gold Sword True Monarch.

“A day as a teacher is a lifetime as a father. You will always be my master,” Zhou Yun Feng sincerely replied.

Afterward, other Golden Core Real Persons congratulated him collectively, and Zhou Yun Feng responded with sincere gratitude.

After Lord Xuan Qing and the other Golden Core Real Persons had left, the Gold Sword True Monarch gathered with the four disciples in the cave mansion of Yuan Ling Peak.

“Junior brother, thank you for that teapot and guidance. Without them, I would not have had the opportunity to break through,” Zhou Yun Feng, with a solemn face, approached Lin Yi and bowed deeply in the courtyard of the cave mansion.

Lin Yi responded with a bow and a smile, “Senior brother, no, I should now call you Ancestor Jing Yun. It was your extraordinary enlightenment that made the difference. I had nothing to do with it.”

“You’re still as cautious as ever. Don’t worry. I won’t tell others about it. And stop calling me an ancestor. I’ll always be your senior brother,” Zhou Yun Feng, hardly able to keep back a smile, patted Lin Yi’s shoulder.

After some jesting, the Gold Sword True Monarch inquired, “Yun Feng, what are your plans going forward? Do you have someone in mind for the next Sect Master?”

Since he had become a Nascent Soul True Monarch, he couldn’t continue as Sect Master.

Zhou Yun Feng immediately revealed his plans, “Master, I still want to travel with Jing Yu as we promised. Actually, the best choice for Sect Master would be junior brother…”

“Hold on, senior brother, we’re supposed to be brothers. You’re trying to trap me!” exclaimed Lin Yi, quickly signaling him to stop.

The Grand Master of Liu Yun Sect’s role was very different from that of the Hierarch of the Sun Moon Divine Sect. The latter could make independent decisions without managing affairs, but the former couldn’t.

Zhou Yun Feng shook his head, “Junior Brother, let me finish. Although you’re technically the best choice, you still have over a hundred years to live and surely want to try to break through the realm.”

“Moreover, you are known to dislike trouble. So, I recommend that Yu Cheng Zen Ren of Green Jade Peak should become the Sect Master, as he has long been under the tutelage of Lord Qing Yu.”
