To Tushan, Immortal Cultivators

Several days later

Dongfang Huaizhu and Wangquan Baye rode flying swords toward Tushan.

Outside Tushan’s City Gate, a group of foxes stood atop the walls. When they saw Wangquan Baye and Dongfang Huaizhu, they immediately shouted, "Who goes there?!"

Wangquan Baye cupped his fists and said, "Wangquan Baye of the Wangquan Family, together with Dongfang Huaizhu, has come to visit Tushan."

One of the foxes immediately said, "So you are the guests Uncle Yu has been waiting for. Someone, quickly open the city gates!"

A few days earlier, Su Yu had told the foxes guarding the gate that a married couple would be arriving in a few days. The man was named Wangquan Baye, and the woman was Dongfang Huaizhu. She was not to stop them.

Wangquan Baye and Dongfang Huaizhu promptly entered Tushan. Dongfang Huaizhu looked at the fox guarding the gate and asked, "May I know the full name of this Uncle Yu you mentioned? Where is he now?"

"Uncle Yu’s surname is Su, and his name is Su Yu. At this time, he should be beneath the Acacia Tree, teaching Miss Qian Mian and the others to play the guqin. There, that is the Acacia Tree." As she spoke, the fox pointed toward the towering tree in the distance.

Dongfang Huaizhu gave a slight bow. "Thank you for telling us."

After saying that, Dongfang Huaizhu and Wangquan Baye left. The fox who had just shown Dongfang Huaizhu the way narrowed her eyes and smiled, then transformed into Tu Shan Rong Rong. Tu Shan Rong Rong had already learned the Thousand Faces Clan’s disguise technique from Qian Mian Hong. Combined with Tushan’s own disguise technique, she had fused the two into one. In this world, Tu Shan Rong Rong’s disguise technique had reached its peak.

"So this is Dongfang Huaizhu. She really is quite beautiful. But why did they not bring Wangquan Fugui? I should follow them and take a look."

As Tu Shan Rong Rong spoke, she followed after them. She had known for a long time that Wangquan Baye and Dongfang Huaizhu would be arriving today, so she had come here early in the morning to wait.

Beneath the Acacia Tree

As Wangquan Baye and Dongfang Huaizhu slowly approached, they heard the sound of music drifting from afar. Nine melodies intertwined, yet neither of them felt the slightest trace of disorder.

Su Yu watched the nine of them perform the Origin Nurturing Heart Calming Melody together, feeling deeply gratified. Every one of them could already play the Origin Nurturing Heart Calming Melody alone. Yet playing together was far more difficult than performing solo. At that moment, the nine of them had brought out the melody’s effects through their ensemble. Su Yu and the girls themselves all knew that they no longer needed to practice this piece. They had even surpassed Su Yu in this melody.

Wangquan Baye and Dongfang Huaizhu arrived beneath the Acacia Tree. Su Yu smiled at them and said, "You’re here. Come with me."

As he spoke, Su Yu walked toward the trunk of the Acacia Tree, and the two immediately followed him.

Su Yu led them into the World Inside the Tree. The two stared in surprise at the suddenly changed surroundings, their minds still somewhat muddled. How had they suddenly arrived inside Tushan City?

Su Yu looked at them and asked, "Do you know why I told you I was here?"

Wangquan Baye said, "Senior, you wanted the two of us to come find you, didn’t you?"

Su Yu nodded. "That’s right. By the way, Wangquan Baye, have you remembered who I am?"

Wangquan Baye frowned in confusion, then stared at Su Yu’s face. Suddenly, his pupils contracted sharply, and he said in shock, "Senior, it’s you!"

After recovering from his shock, Wangquan Baye cupped his fists and bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle. "Senior, you have saved my wife and me twice. I know you must have summoned us for a reason. Even if it means climbing a mountain of blades or crossing a sea of fire, I, Wangquan Baye, will not hesitate."

Su Yu smiled and waved his hand. "A mountain of blades and a sea of fire won’t be necessary. I only want you to become the first and second immortal cultivators in this world. I want the two of you to test whether the path of immortal cultivation is viable."

"Immortal cultivation?" the two asked in confusion.

With his hands behind his back, Su Yu explained, "You have always been cultivators, but what you cultivate is simply too low-level. It cannot even extend your lifespans. In this world, demons are far stronger than humans. But what you do not know is that in many other worlds, humans have always been the strongest. Those immortals and gods possess the power to overturn heaven and earth, while demons have never been able to surpass humans."

"So I do not want the humans of this world to remain so… worthless. I plan to have you cultivate in this small world, where the laws of heaven and earth are complete. Once you have attained a certain level of cultivation, you will go back outside. I want to see whether you can use the spiritual power you cultivated here in the outside world. If you can, then in the future, I will choose a group of humans to enter this world to cultivate, then have them go out and protect this world. So, are you willing to become the first and second immortal cultivators?"

Wangquan Baye and Dongfang Huaizhu exchanged a glance, then cupped their fists at the same time. "Thank you for your favor, Senior. We are willing to give it a try!"

"Good." Smiling, Su Yu pressed two fingers to each of their foreheads, then brought them to a courtyard.

Su Yu looked at them and said, "The cultivation techniques have already been passed into your minds. Your talents are worthy of being called genius-level. Cultivate here from now on. As for your son, you need not worry. How about I personally teach him in your place?"

Wangquan Baye said excitedly, "Then we must thank you, Senior. I will immediately write a letter and have the Wangquan Family obey your orders from this day onward."

As he spoke, Wangquan Baye immediately went to write the letter. Dongfang Huaizhu looked at Su Yu as though she wanted to say something but hesitated. Su Yu smiled and said, "You can’t bear to leave your son?"

Dongfang Huaizhu nodded slightly.

"Don’t worry. Just focus on cultivating well. When he turns sixteen, I will bring him to Tushan to see you. Do not blame me for keeping you apart. This is also so you and Wangquan Baye can cultivate without worry. Only when you become stronger will your lifespans grow longer and longer. By then, would you still fear that your family would have too little time together?" Su Yu said slowly.

Dongfang Huaizhu nodded. "All right. Please be sure to take good care of my son, Senior."

"Don’t worry. Oh, there is something else I need to tell you. In about five years, Dongfang Qinlan will also flee to Tushan with her son. You may teach Dongfang Qinlan the path of immortal cultivation, but you must not teach Dongfang Yuechu."

When Dongfang Huaizhu heard that Dongfang Qinlan would come to Tushan, she immediately became excited. She had searched for Dongfang Qinlan for who knew how long, yet had never found her.

Dongfang Huaizhu asked in confusion, "Is Dongfang Yuechu my younger sister’s son? Why can’t he be taught the path of immortal cultivation?"

Su Yu smiled. "It is not only him. I will not teach your son the path of immortal cultivation either. But do not worry. Five hundred years from now, I will let your son return."

Dongfang Huaizhu dearly wanted to teach Wangquan Fugui the path of immortal cultivation, but since Su Yu had said so, and she trusted him greatly, she nodded in agreement.
