Cultivation: I Signed in with the Talent of an Immortal at the Start

Chapter 472: Returning to Lingxu Heavenly Palace A World of Difference

Traveling alongside Li Taiqing were Lu Fan, Su Ming, and the others.

The Xuantian Dao Domain was located beyond the Thirty-Third Heaven, a place extremely close to the Chaos outside the heavens.

Between each layer of heaven, there were various natural protections, such as lightning storms and void rifts.

Even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal would find it difficult to traverse them freely with just their Physical Body.

Ordinary flying Magic Treasures, even if they could move, required a vast amount of Immortal Spirit Stones as fuel and were slow.

Originally, Lu Fan intended to bring out his own vehicle for everyone to use together, but he hadn’t expected Li Taiqing to produce an even more powerful flying boat.

As soon as the sky-patrolling star boat appeared, it drew everyone’s attention.

The boat was about a thousand zhang long, its entire body composed of a strange material swirling with chaotic starlight.

The lines of the hull were smooth, as if sketched by the brush of a Great Dao diagram, without a single trace of carving or chiseling; at a glance, it was clearly the work of a mighty expert.

Countless fine and complex astral dao-patterns were naturally engraved on the hull.

They bloomed with glazed colors as if breathing, faintly echoing the power of the surrounding heavens, allowing it to move even without fuel.

“Did Master bestow this upon Senior Brother?”

Seeing this star boat, Lu Fan’s movements paused involuntarily, a flash of surprise and realization crossing his eyes.

As a Human Emperor, he was broad-minded and knowledgeable, and he immediately noticed that the extraordinary nature of this star boat went far beyond its flashy appearance.

“Incredible!”

Even Jiang Hao’s eyes widened as he exclaimed:

“Even the random things Master leaks from his hands are supreme treasures.”

“I also didn’t expect the treasure Master casually bestowed to be so powerful…”

Li Taiqing looked at the sky-patrolling star boat, thoroughly shocked.

He actually hadn’t anticipated that the means of transport Master had casually given him would have such an imposing presence.

Han Xuanji had naturally considered that everyone’s current cultivation was still insufficient and that traveling might be inconvenient, so he had directly bestowed these sky-patrolling star boats upon them.

Li Taiqing coughed lightly and explained:

“It wasn’t just bestowed upon me, but one for each of us fellow Disciples…”

“Ah?”

Hearing this, everyone was instantly overwhelmed by the favor.

A flying Magic Treasure of this grade—it was likely that not many among the Heavenly Court Emperors possessed one, right?

They naturally didn’t know that these star boats were all signed-in for by Han Xuanji one by one while he toured the Heavenly Court.

Moreover, they were all at factory settings, without a single trace of their original owners’ hidden hands.

After saying that, Li Taiqing brought out the flying boats one after another.

None of them were ordinary items, and he distributed them to everyone.

After receiving them, everyone didn’t waste any time and followed Li Taiqing onto the star boat.

Once everyone was inside, Li Taiqing controlled the star boat with his mind.

The light around the boat swelled slightly, and it silently slipped into the void.

Its speed was astonishingly fast, yet the interior remained as steady as if it were stationary.

The scenery outside the boat changed rapidly, with starlight stretching into brilliant lines of flowing light.

The stern trailed a dreamlike ribbon of starlight, as if leaving a miniature galaxy behind.

The star boat continued to traverse the barriers of the Immortal Realm in this almost leisurely manner.

Inside the boat, after the initial novelty and shock, everyone gradually settled down.

Some used this safe and stable environment to discuss their plans, while others quietly contemplated the dao-rhythm naturally flowing within the star boat’s operation; this in itself was a form of cultivation.

After an unknown amount of time, the heart-palpitating scenes of various natural hazards grew fewer, replaced by peaceful Immortal Qi and a familiar silhouette in the distance—the Immortal Realm was already in sight.

Upon arriving in the Immortal Realm, everyone bid their farewells and parted ways.

It wasn’t a life-or-death parting, so there wasn’t much sadness, only a bit of sentimental sighing.

Li Taiqing pondered for a moment, withdrew some of his profound dao-rhythm, and used only a basic Pure Spirit Sword Light to fly toward the direction in his memory.

The sword light was neither fast nor slow, showing both composure and proper etiquette.

Passing over the magnificent mountains and rivers, immortal cities, and blessed lands of the Lingxu Immortal Domain, Li Taiqing couldn’t help but sigh as he flew by.

If Master hadn’t stepped in back then, all of this would likely have been destroyed in the Demon Tribulation, with all living beings suffering.

Even now, Li Taiqing could clearly perceive that the Lingxu Immortal Domain still vaguely contained an unignorable trace of tribulation aura.

Although the large-scale Demon Tribulation had been stopped by Han Xuanji’s intervention, small-scale battles had never truly ceased.

Soon, Li Taiqing approached the Lingxu Heavenly Palace, which was still surrounded by immortal light and auspicious clouds.

The mountain-protecting formation surrounding the Lingxu Heavenly Palace seemed to sense Li Taiqing’s arrival.

The formation patterns flowed with rays of pure light, and a path opened of its own accord, leading directly to the white jade square in front of the main hall, ‘The Human Cultivators Alliance Hall’.

For this visit, Li Taiqing had naturally notified the various Old Ancestors and Peak Masters of the Sect.

His intention was to avoid making too much of a scene, but the Sect’s high-level members naturally couldn’t think that way.

Although Han Xuanji had already established his own lineage, those past ties had never been severed.

Li Taiqing was now also a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, a figure at the level of a Sect Old Ancestor, not to mention he was also the Disciple of a Heavenly Venerable.

They naturally didn’t dare to be negligent.

They knew that in the future, as Li Taiqing’s strength grew even greater, it would likely be difficult for this group of people to even catch a glimpse of him.

Almost at the same moment Li Taiqing gave notice, several majestic and vast auras—at least at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level—rose from various Peaks and quickly converged.

The leader was a man with white hair and a youthful face, wearing an ancient star-patterned daoist robe and holding a horsetail whisk; he was Ancestor Shenhui, the highest-ranking Senior currently in the Lingxu Heavenly Palace.

Behind him followed seven figures, all with extraordinary bearings.

They were the Peak Masters of the seven main lineages of the Lingxu Heavenly Palace: Immortal Venerable Yu Xuan of the Sword Lineage, Immortal Venerable Yuheng of the Dan Meridian, Immortal Venerable Chang Geng of the Array Lineage, Immortal Venerable Zaohua of the Tool Lineage, Immortal Reverence Jiuyu of the Law Lineage, Immortal Venerable Tianji of the Heavenly Secret Lineage, and Immortal Venerable Miaodao of the Talisman Lineage.

The various Peak Masters and Sect Old Ancestors were gathered together.

Further back were dozens of Elders and Peak Lords with slightly weaker auras but still at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Peak, as well as a group of Lingxu Heavenly Palace True Disciples, including many from the top ten True Disciples of past generations.

They were all the true backbone of the Lingxu Heavenly Palace, making this an extremely rare scene.

Among the crowd were the top ten True Disciples of the previous generation.

One figure among them could hardly suppress the waves of emotion in his heart.

Zhou Tianchen couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

He had originally thought about testing Heavenly Venerable Han’s depth; fortunately, his instincts had told him not to.

“However, failing to form a bond with Heavenly Venerable Han is the regret of my life…”

Zhou Tianchen was thinking that if he could have befriended Han Xuanji back then, perhaps he would be the one standing at the front today.

At this moment, no matter how firm his Dao Heart was, it couldn’t help but waver slightly at this thought.

It is said that in cultivation, fate and affinity are of the utmost importance, but what kind of Opportunity had he missed?

As for Lin Feng, who had some friction with Han Xuanji among the previous generation’s top ten True Disciples, he simply didn’t show up.

Once his Master, Immortal Venerable Chang Geng, learned of Lin Feng’s actions that day, he began to distance himself from this Disciple.

Even if he wasn’t expelled from the Sect, he basically received no more care.

In the crowd, there was another person standing at the very back, their heart filled with even more mixed emotions.
