The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 958: Chapter 958: Qingfeng Temple and Tu Lin

Dragon Claw Realm.

A ragged-clothed young boy trudged through the deep mountains filled with poisonous miasma, capturing snakes and insects or gathering wild fruits when hungry, drinking muddy water from swamps when thirsty.

Thankfully, he had cultivation on his side and didn’t perish in this harsh environment, yet his heart was gripped with fear from the pursuers who had chased him for over half a year!

The young man was named Tu Lin, who had joined Qingfeng Temple as a child, learning the art of longevity from the temple’s Taoist monks.

Qingfeng Temple wasn’t large, from Law Master Qingfeng True Master down to the little taoist boy who had just entered the mountain gate, there were only about a hundred people in total, and they never had much fame in the cultivation world.

Tu Lin was quite young, his cultivation talent was outstanding, attracting the attention of Qingfeng True Master who took him as a disciple, making him the youngest among the second-generation disciples; though his life was poor, he was cared for by Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, living contentedly and freely.

Until a year ago, the demons of Wuji Palace attacked Qingfeng Temple!

It turned out...

His Master Qingfeng True Master was the renowned righteous path rogue cultivator Li Feng True Master.

Approximately fifty years ago, newly formed Golden Core Realm Li True Master, using a ”Divine Light Spell” obtained from unknown sources, slew demons and devils everywhere, the number of them dying at his hand was countless.

Later, Li True Master clashed with Wuji Palace whose powers had a demonic flame presence, killed over a hundred disciples of theirs including three Golden Core Realm protectors, seventeen Qi Gathering Realm Altar Masters, even alarming Wuji Palace’s Grand Elder to personally hunt him!

The battle between Li True Master and Wuji Palace’s Grand Elder, no one in the cultivation world knew the outcome, anyway, after that fight, the two disappeared together.

In fact, Li True Master had won, using the impressive might of ”Divine Light Spell” to kill Wuji Palace’s Grand Elder, but he was also severely injured, his Dantian destroyed, unable to return to his prime strength.

After eliminating the traces, Li True Master fled to distant lands to evade Wuji Palace’s search, later renamed Qingfeng True Master created Qingfeng Temple, thus concealing his identity for decades.

However, there’s no secret that lasts forever, Wuji Palace tracked for years and eventually discovered Qingfeng True Master’s true identity.

This time, Wuji Palace came for revenge and to seize ”Divine Light Spell,” deploying two elders, seven protectors, and more than two hundred Qi Gathering Realm disciples attempting to exterminate Qingfeng Temple entirely!

Normally inconspicuous like a doddering old man, Qingfeng True Master erupted with terrifying combat power, even Tu Lin’s Senior Brothers, Senior Sisters, and even nephews didn’t hold back, engaging in a bloodthirsty and brutal fight with Wuji Palace’s demons.

Yet Wuji Palace’s might was overwhelming, Qingfeng True Master with unhealed wounds couldn’t withstand the powerful attack of the demons.

After bloody battles for many days, Tu Lin’s Senior Brothers, Senior Sisters, and nephews all died tragically by Wuji Palace’s demons. In the end, Qingfeng True Master sacrificed his primal Essence and Qi to kill his way out with Tu Lin and several fourth-generation disciples, escaping tens of thousands of miles!

After falling from the escaping light, Qingfeng True Master suddenly passed away. After Tu Lin and others buried him, they plunged into the vast Luofeng Mountain range.

But Wuji Palace’s demons evidently didn’t give up, having found this place more than half a year ago, continuing to send men to hunt them down; perhaps due to unhealed previous battle injuries, or Wuji Palace undergoing some changes, so no Golden Core Realm master made a move, only a batch of Qi Gathering Realm, Spirit Sea Realm demons pursuing into the deep mountains!

Even so, the remaining few fourth-generation disciples of Qingfeng Temple were caught or killed, or died by poisonous insects and snakes, now Tu Lin alone remained.

Qingfeng Temple was nearly massacred completely, and Wuji Palace using the Soul Search technique as they wished obtained ”Golden Light Spell,” this powerful cultivation method, and still pursued Tu Lin relentlessly, to cut grass and kill roots, to prevent another exceptional ”Li True Master” from emerging and repeating past events!

After wandering in the forest for an unknown time, Tu Lin heard the rushing water sound, following the sound for tens of miles, finally discovered a vast and turbulent river!

He lay on the shore, gulping river water, once his thirst was quenched, lying on the ground gasping, he couldn’t help but feel profound grief: ”Old geezer, Senior Brother, Senior Brother Wang, Senior Sister Fu...”

”Since you miss your fellow disciples so much, why not let me send you to see them?” a cold voice sounded.

Simultaneously, a flying sword flashed with black light slashing towards Tu Lin.

”Damn demon!”

Tu Lin abruptly rose from the ground, casting ”Divine Light Spell” creating a shimmering golden spirit light to protect himself, but in a blink shattered by the black flying sword.

Puff!

The flying sword slashed through Tu Lin’s body, creating a hideous bloody gash on his chest, blood gushing out, revealing faint glimpses of his internal organs squirming.

”If I don’t die, one day I’ll kill every last one of you demons!” Tu Lin roared spewing blood foam, then leaped, directly plunging into the never-ending flowing river.

Only then did the owner of the black flying sword emerge from the forest, a Wuji Palace Altar Master, possessing Spirit Sea Realm cultivation.

His sense extending into the river, searching for a long time without finding Tu Lin’s trace, eyes flashing with gloom: ”This river has turbulent undercurrents, that kid must have been swept downstream. He’s so heavily injured, unlikely to survive more than three days. If he dies in the river, likely even his remains would be eaten clean by fish and shrimp, not retrieving his corpse, making reporting to the Second Elder difficult!”

After pondering for a moment, the Wuji Palace Altar Master gathered all the blood and mud from the ground, transforming into a dark green escaping light flying towards downstream.

...

Tu Lin awoke, finding himself lying inside a stone house, chest wound bandaged with spiritual medicine, the pain and itch was unbearable.

”The little taoist is finally awake?”

The door creaked open, a delicate-looking young girl holding a medicine bowl entered, seeing Tu Lin awake, she immediately showed a delighted expression, after placing the bowl she ran out.

Not long after, a middle-aged couple entered the house alongside the girl.

After Tu Lin jumped into the river, he was swept by the undercurrent downstream, in his dying moments sensing vaguely being netted by a fishing net, realizing he hadn’t fallen into Wuji Palace’s demon hands, he knew the people here saved him.

Instantly, he struggled to get up wanting to thank them, but stumbled and fell to the ground.

The middle-aged man helped Tu Lin back onto the bed, smiling gently: ”You’re injured so badly, being able to keep a life is lucky from heaven, don’t move around, wait till your external injuries heal before getting out of bed! By the way, you must be a cultivator too, what did you cause to fall into such a state?”

”My name is Tu Lin, I’m a taoist of Qingfeng Temple from Day Bright Country...”

Tu Lin mustered his spirits, explained his background, and said he provoked strong enemies not wanting to burden his benefactors, he wished to leave immediately.

”Rest assured, little taoist! Once in Xinmao City, even if an old monster of Golden Core Realm comes, nothing will touch a hair on you!”
