Battle Through the Heavens: Beauties Abound Starting with Yunlan and Her Disciples

101: Section 101”Soon, very soon.” Yun Xiancheng responded the same way, but it only made the trapped Young ladies even more anxious, as if their hearts were burning.

”Brother! Hurry up! If you don’t come, Nalan Yanran and I will be trapped to death here!” Xiao Yan screamed in her heart, wishing she could immediately grab Yun Xiancheng by the collar and make him appear before her eyes in an instant.

Before her words faded, a white cloud shot out fiercely from the sea of clouds, carrying a sharp killing intent as it charged straight at Nalan Yanran. This cloud appeared soft and harmless, yet Nalan Yanran felt a strong threat of death from within it, as if being struck would cause her soul to scatter.

”Wind Spirit Fractal Sword!” Nalan Yanran let out a delicate shout, waving the long sword in her hand to unleash a fierce Dou Technique, slicing the white cloud into several pieces.

However, these cloud fragments seemed to be alive, continuing to struggle and charge toward the surrounding Young ladies with unwilling killing intent.

The three Young ladies joined forces, only then barely managing to completely destroy this split white cloud. However, more white clouds were constantly approaching from all around; under immense pressure, the spatial barrier began to show fine cracks, and the moment of failure was drawing ever closer.

”What I meant was... I have already arrived.” Yun Xiancheng said slowly through the family network. Immediately after.

A lion’s roar that shook the heavens suddenly came from the horizon, accompanied by a clear phoenix cry. A dazzling golden light arrived from the distant sky, descending slowly along with the warm sunlight.

The golden light pierced through the thick clouds, slicing through the blockade of the ”Cloud Smoke Overturning Sun Formation” like a sharp sword, illuminating the trapped Young ladies and allowing them to glimpse the scene outside.

Yun Xiancheng spread a pair of snow-white cloud wings, his figure as straight as a pine, bathing in the dazzling golden light, walking through the air step by step, slowly approaching the expectant eyes of the Young ladies.

By Yun Xiancheng’s side, Master Yun Yun spread her light, cyan Dou Qi wings, her posture elegant, guarding him on the left like a guardian deity. On the other side, the transformed Yun Ziyi also spread her magnificent purple wings, accompanying him on the right with an imposing air.

Behind Yun Xiancheng, Green Savage wore a set of cyan battle armor, her Dou Qi flowing around her body as she walked through the air, following closely behind.

The group bathed in the sunlight, carrying an otherworldly aura as they descended upon the peak of Yun Lan Mountain. Their appearance instantly dissolved the tense standoff and attracted everyone’s gaze.

Yun Shan looked at this group of sudden visitors, especially Yun Xiancheng and Yun Yun walking in the very front, as well as the two unfamiliar women beside him who were exuding powerful auras; his expression instantly became extremely grave.

Having come out of secluded cultivation, he had not yet had the chance to learn of Yun Xiancheng’s recent itinerary, and he did not expect that this junior of the Cloud Mist Sect had hooked up with so many experts outside. Clearly, Yun Xiancheng was harboring ulterior motives.

Yun Xiancheng stopped, his snow-white cloud wings slowly retracting. His gaze calmly swept over the devastated ground, the one-armed Yun Ling, and the Young ladies trapped in the cloud formation, finally landing on Yun Shan.

”Former Sect Master, hello. I am the Young Sect Leader of this generation.” Yun Xiancheng’s voice was not loud, yet it clearly reached everyone’s ears. Even though he was just a junior, he showed no reverence toward the Former Sect Master.

”Since you know your status, how dare you speak to me like that?” Yun Shan retorted.

But Yun Xiancheng ignored Yun Shan and instead raised his hand for a gentle wave. The sky-filling sea of clouds turned into ordinary clouds in that instant, dissipating into nothingness.

”Everything was fine, why did you have to attack my junior sisters, Former Sect Master?” The massive cloud sphere that trapped Xiao Yan and the other two seemed to be pulled by some invisible force, instantly receding to the sides, revealing the Young ladies trapped within.

The spatial barrier dissipated, and Xiao Yan, Nalan Yanran, and Linger regained their freedom, immediately rushing toward Yun Xiancheng with joy. ”Brother!” ”Husband!” ”Brother Xiancheng!” The Young ladies’ excited voices carried sobs as they hugged him tightly.

Yun Xiancheng gently hugged them back, stroking their backs to comfort them. ”It’s okay now, I’m here.” His voice was low and gentle, a stark contrast to the majesty he showed toward Yun Shan just moments ago.

The Medicine Lady’s soul body detached from Xiao Yan’s body, transforming back into a phantom on the Ice Lotus, though her face looked slightly pale. She glanced at Yun Shan, then looked at Yun Xiancheng, her eyes carrying a trace of fatigue, but even more trust. She then retreated back into the ring on Xiao Yan, preparing to rest.

Yun Shan watched this scene, his expression becoming even uglier. He cursed angrily, ”You ungrateful wretch! The sect raised you for over a decade, is this how you repay the sect?!”

Yun Xiancheng had utilized Yun Yun’s status as Sect Master to forcibly shut down the ”Cloud Smoke Overturning Sun Formation.” Although Yun Shan was the Former Sect Master, he had not yet officially taken over the sect’s permissions; naturally, under Yun Yun’s authority as Sect Master, the formation was forcibly deactivated.

”The one who raised me is my Master, not you all.” Yun Xiancheng gently separated the Young ladies in his arms and let them stand behind him. He turned around, his gaze falling on Yun Shan once again, his eyes icy.

”Sharp-tongued!” Yun Shan stared into Yun Xiancheng’s eyes and demanded, ”Isn’t the resource Yun Yun using also from the Cloud Mist Sect?! Are you planning to betray the Cloud Mist Sect?!”

”Betray?” Yun Xiancheng repeated the word, his tone calm, ”This is the Cloud Mist Sect, it is my Master’s sect, and it is also my home.”

His gaze swept over Yun Shan and the Disciples behind him, his voice calm yet icy: ”As for you all, why did you betray the sect and attack the Young Sect Leader?”

Yun Xiancheng’s words pierced into the hearts of many Cloud Mist Sect Disciples like sharp swords, and they lowered their heads one after another, feeling extremely ashamed.

The clever Disciples had already sensed that the Cloud Mist Sect was internally divided. And they, as ordinary Disciples, did not even have the qualifications to pick a side.

Moreover, they had indeed stood on the side of the Former Sect Master just now. Yun Shan understood what Yun Xiancheng was implying. Normally speaking, the current Sect Master was the nominal orthodox authority, and their behavior could be counted as treason. But... in reality, this place respected the strong. Not to mention that he, Yun Shan, was the Former Sect Master himself, and furthermore, he was now a Dou Zong, so reclaiming the Sect Master’s authority was reasonable and compliant with the rules.

”I am the Former Sect Master. Yun Yun, you should still call me Old Sect Master.” Yun Shan attempted to find a breakthrough through Yun Yun. He knew Yun Yun’s personality well; she was a person who strictly followed the rules and would never be disrespectful to a senior like him. But Yun Yun only stood calmly by Yun Xiancheng’s side, ignoring him.

Yun Xiancheng likewise ignored Yun Shan, instead turning his gaze toward the disheveled Yun Ling on the side, his hand subconsciously gripping the hilt of his sword. ”Yun Ling, it’s been three years. You’ve really lived your life in reverse.” Yun Xiancheng’s tone was icy, carrying a hint of mockery.

Being stared at by Yun Xiancheng’s icy gaze, and recalling the intense pain of his severed arm, as well as the experiences of being suppressed by Yun Xiancheng all these years, Yun Ling couldn’t help but tremble. He was truly afraid of Yun Xiancheng, even if Yun Xiancheng had only been a child back then, and even if Yun Xiancheng was still just a junior now.

But his spirit had long since dissipated under Yun Xiancheng’s decade-plus of suppression. The reason he dared to be so arrogant this time was because Yun Shan had come out of seclusion, and he had someone backing him. However, when he saw that Yun Xiancheng also had a Dou Zong expert backing him, his back, which hadn’t been straight for long, snapped again. He slunk behind Yun Shan, not daring to make a sound.

Gu He stood to the side, his expression shifting uncertainly. He recognized Yun Xiancheng; he was the youth who had charged directly into the Snake-People Clan’s Queen’s palace that day. The grown-up Yun Xiancheng was increasingly handsome, with a temperament different from the past. He had only caught a fleeting glimpse back then and hadn’t fully recognized him, but now, after careful comparison, he immediately identified him.

It seemed he had completely locked horns with this pair of Master and Disciple. He looked at Yun Shan, then at Yun Yun and Yun Ziyi behind Yun Xiancheng, quickly weighing the pros and cons in his heart. Yun Shan didn’t seem able to defeat the other side; he should plan his retreat early.

Yun Shan was so angry at Yun Xiancheng’s behavior that his beard stood up. Having broken through to Dou Zong this time, he originally thought he could easily control the situation and restore the majesty of the Cloud Mist Sect, but he didn’t expect to encounter such a disrespectful junior right after coming out of seclusion.

”Heh, Yun Yun, you have also raised a good Disciple!” Yun Shan looked at Yun Yun and sternly scolded, ”The good Disciple you raised has no respect for her Master or elders, and has no loyalty to the Cloud Mist Sect in her heart! I shouldn’t have let you succeed as Sect Master back then, ruining my Cloud Mist’s thousand-year foundation!”

Yun Yun was left feeling dizzy by this scolding, not because of shame, but because how could they dare to shift the blame onto her? Wasn’t this whole incident started by them making trouble in the first place?

Yun Yun was, after all, used to following rules, and she had not expected her fellow sect elders to be so unreasonable.

She quickly calmed down. She retorted, ”Only now do you come to reprimand my Disciple? Seeing your Disciple’s aggressive posture earlier, intent on killing my Disciple, why didn’t you consider that they are my Disciples?!”

She looked at Yun Shan with a firm gaze, her tone no longer holding the slightest hesitation: ”Enough nonsense, let’s see the real skills under the sword!”

206 The Immortal touches my crown, tying my hair to receive longevity.

”Heh, those from ordinary Disciple backgrounds are always unfaithful to the Cloud Mist Sect.” Yun Shan sighed softly, his tone carrying a hint of regret, as if feeling sorry for Yun Yun’s ”disloyalty.”

However, at that very instant, his eyes suddenly turned sharp.

In the moment when everyone was caught off guard, he suddenly struck, his figure like lightning, heading straight for Yun Xiancheng’s face! Just like Yun Ling, Yun Shan had long been displeased with this guy who ”lacked respect for his elders.”

When Yun Yun was an ordinary Disciple, she was submissive and followed the rules, but ever since taking this Disciple, she had become so disrespectful to her elders.

Green Savage and Ying, as Yun Xiancheng’s personal bodyguards, were naturally monitoring the opponent’s movements at all times. Almost the moment Yun Shan raised his hand, they moved simultaneously.

Yun Xiancheng stepped back with a calm expression, the two women’s Dou Qi brushing past his ears as they blocked in front of him.

Two powerful spatial fluctuations, carrying the strength of a Dou Zong, instantly blocked in front of Yun Xiancheng, forcibly stopping the fierce Dou Qi emitted by Yun Shan.

Subsequently, a deafening explosion erupted from where the three streams of Dou Qi converged. Brilliant white light instantly filled the entire space, and a massive shockwave spread in all directions, forcing the surrounding watching Cloud Mist Sect Disciples to close their eyes, and even Yun Xiancheng could not keep his eyes open.

At this moment, time seemed to have frozen.

Snowflakes filling the sky; he saw snowflakes filling the sky. He lay in the snow, staring blankly at the sky.

As a traveler from another land, he was different from those ”parasites” who didn’t even have their own bodies and could only live in others’ bodies, or even those ”stitched souls” whose souls were mostly patchwork monsters.

He was himself. Before coming to this world, his physical body had transformed into an infant step by step, and after arriving in this world, he had completely become a real infant.

However, because his brain was re-developing, his memory of this period was very blurry.

He only remembered lying in a vast expanse of snow, yet strangely, a circle with a radius of three feet was left around him, with no snow falling there.

It was as if the surrounding cold could not approach his body at all. But even so, under normal circumstances, he would have been dead for sure.

However, right there amidst the flying snow, his Master and mother in this life—Yun Yun—came walking through the snow. ”Whose infant is this?” He heard Yun Yun say softly.

Looking at the strange scene around the infant, her eyes also held a trace of curiosity.

Subsequently, she bent down and gently picked him up. Yun Xiancheng remembered that he, at that time, had unconsciously smiled.

With his blurry memory at the time, what he must have been thinking was: A classical Beauty, I have probably come to an ancient-style fantasy world. Perhaps infected by his smile, Yun Yun finally took Yun Xiancheng back, stepping up the stairs of Yun Lan Mountain step by step in the wind and snow.

This was one of Yun Yun’s deepest memories; she held her Disciple and future husband, stepping up the stairs of Cloud Mist step by step in the wind and snow. In the more than ten years that followed, she and he ran up and down those stairs time and time again.

For the first three years, Yun Xiancheng looked a bit silly, remaining silent for a long time and staring blankly into the distance.

To the Cloud Mist Sect, being so steady and calm in the first three years, his performance made everyone in the Cloud Mist Sect admire him immensely, believing that Yun Yun had brought back a gifted genius.

But for Yun Xiancheng, the long periods of staring blankly were because he had actively entered a low-energy state, waiting for his brain to develop.

When Yun Xiancheng was three years old, his consciousness finally became completely clear, or rather, his brain had officially developed enough to accommodate all his thoughts, rather than that low-energy dazed mode.

Only then did he discover with shock that he had actually come to the battle through the heavens world, and the one who had brought him back was the new Cloud Mist Sect Master—Yun Yun. ”Master.”

Yun Xiancheng, dressed in a small Daoist outfit, knelt on a giant rock at the top of Yun Lan Mountain, looking up at Yun Yun, who was sitting on the edge of the cliff. A vast sea of clouds spread beneath her feet, as if she were the ruler of this sea of clouds.

She noticed that the exquisite, porcelain-doll-like little Yun Xiancheng was ready, turned back, and came before him.

She reached out, gently placing her hand on the top of his head to comb through his soft hair. ”Xiancheng, from today on, you must begin to refine Dou Qi.” At this moment, behind Yun Yun was the vast, boundless sea of clouds, and the rising sun happened to fall beside her head, resembling a holy halo of light, reflecting his Master, a Beauty, like a fairy descended to the world.

”The Immortal touches my crown, tying my hair to receive longevity.”

Yun Xiancheng at that time, and Yun Xiancheng currently in the white light, could not help but silently recite this sentence in his heart. The overlap in time made Yun Xiancheng seem to realize something; his extraordinary comprehension was on the verge of enlightenment.

After beginning to cultivate, the days became dull. The promotion in the Dou Zhi Qi stage seemed very, very boring to him, possessing memories of his past life.

In the Jia Ma Empire and even in the Central Plains, there were no medicinal pills that could be used without Dou Zhi Qi, so one basically had to rely on the cultivator’s own talent to grind through it.

However, Yun Xiancheng’s talent was extremely good, far surpassing ordinary people. Therefore, he rightfully became the Young Sect Leader of the Cloud Mist Sect, considered a destined Dou Huang expert, the successor of the Cloud Mist Sect.

After having the authority of the Young Sect Leader, the first thing he did was to have his Master bring Nalan Yanran to the sect. Due to the changes in the world line, the young Nalan Yanran was actually somewhat insecure.

With the grandfather who protected the family fallen, and the older generation only being Dou Ling, the Nalan Family at that time was about the same level as the Mo Family, precarious in the Imperial Capital, and they were already considering whether to move to a remote small town to seek refuge, just like the Xiao Family.

Yun Xiancheng’s action undoubtedly saved the Nalan Family, and at the same time, quietly planted a special seed in the heart of the young Yan Ran.

”Senior Brother.” The seven or eight-year-old Nalan Yanran could already show signs of her future stunning Beauty. She was wearing her long, black hair today, looking at Yun Xiancheng with some expectation in her eyes.

”Yan Ran is very pretty.”

The seven or eight-year-old Yun Xiancheng walked forward, one hand gently resting on her waist, and the other hand gently stroking her hair.

Hearing her Senior Brother’s praise, Nalan Yanran’s small face flushed slightly, her eyes couldn’t help but dart around quickly, and her fingers couldn’t help but twist at the ends of her hair, appearing somewhat shy.

A wife must be cultivated from a young age.

Due to inertia of thought, he treated this as the normal battle through the heavens world, and therefore did not care about Xiao Yan’s affairs. Otherwise, Xiao Yan would have been brought to the sect as a childhood sweetheart long ago; where would there be any need to go through that engagement annulment business?

”Now that the pre-war system has brought me here, is it just to let me review my childhood?” Yun Xiancheng looked at the familiar scenes before him, unable to help but feel strange in his heart.

However, this is a good omen.

Master Yun Yun, is she my ”Immortal”?

Thinking of this, Yun Xiancheng couldn’t help but smile, reaching out to touch his hair bun. The style that Master had combed for him back then, he had kept until now.

In the world of memory, a golden path of light moved forward, like a bridge connecting heaven and earth. Yun Xiancheng stood on the bridge, watching the childhood memories with Master and Yan Ran appearing one by one around him, a happy smile appearing on his face.

Master and Junior Sister, in the end, all lived under the same roof with me, spending the rest of our lives together. This was one of his greatest happinesses in this life.

207 Cai Lin

Yun Xiancheng thought this in his heart, stepped forward, and walked towards the path of light deep in his memory, arriving at a banquet scene.

That must have been when he was five years old, right? The Mittel Family held a grand banquet and invited Yun Yun and him to attend.

At that time, he was holding Master Yun Yun’s hand, appearing in the spotlight of everyone’s attention. Afterwards, various praises and compliments came flooding in like a tide. He didn’t care about these hypocritical praises, his gaze darting through the crowd, as if looking for someone.

Subsequently, he saw a girl of about ten years old. At that time, Ya Fei already faintly revealed a feeling of upright elegance, like a blooming peony.

He took the initiative to walk over, with the innocence peculiar to a child, and started chatting with this Sister Ya Fei.
