Above the Great Dao

Before leaving, Chen Shi imparted the Yin Yang Refining taught by the Innocent Taoist to Daoist Chang Ying and the Qiongyang Ancestor, saying, "Although this Refining Technique is neither an Immortal Level Technique nor the Water and Fire Refining Technique that cultivates Corpse Disintegration into an Immortal, cultivating this method might help avoid a tragedy like that of Daoist Jing Hong."

The Qiongyang Ancestor carefully studied the mysteries of Yin Yang Refining, pondering several times, and couldn't help but be moved: "Cultivating the Yin Yang Refining, Brother Jing Hong could completely avoid his evil transformation! Whether he can become immortal is hard to say, but he could maintain his sanity and not harm the world."

Her heart pounded fiercely.

Indeed, cultivating the Yin Yang Refining can refine the evil Qi in the body, preventing it from thoroughly tainting oneself. If so, couldn't she cultivate the Golden Cicada Sheds Shell Heavenly Immortal Diagram?

Before leaving, Yan Xianzhi entrusted the Taihua Qing Palace to hand over the Golden Cicada Sheds Shell Heavenly Immortal Diagram and the corpse of the old Daoist Jing Hong to the court for safekeeping, but the Qing Palace naturally kept a copy!

If she cultivates this power, even if she can't achieve longevity, she can live for a long time!

Daoist Chang Ying seemed to sense something and glanced at her warily, secretly on guard.

The Qiongyang Ancestor is not an easy master, back in the day, she and Chen Yindou dug the Ancestor Master's Tomb together. She and Chen Yindu were the main offenders, and Qing Yang was the coerced accomplice by the two of them!

If it weren't for Qiongyang still having a big picture view of her sect, she would have been taken away by Chen Yindou!

The Qiongyang Ancestor is absolutely someone who would do anything to seek the Dao and longevity!

"If she can't resist the temptation, I'm afraid she will become another Headmaster Jing Hong in the future!" Daoist Chang Ying thought secretly.

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Sect Leader Chang Ying, I need to borrow Yu Lingzi for a few days."

Chang Ying called over Yu Lingzi and smiled, "Chen Top Scorer, feel free to take him, just return him alive. Yu Lingzi, follow Chen Top Scorer and don't cause any trouble."

Yu Lingzi responded, "Rest assured, Sect Leader."

Chen Shi took out a tiny red box and handed it to the Qiongyang Ancestor, smiling, "If Grandma Qiongyang wishes to accompany my grandfather sooner, then discard the contents of this box. If she'd like to meet him again in the mortal world, feel free to consume it."

The Qiongyang Ancestor received the red box and opened it with curiosity, inside was a small red fruit, no larger than a finger, exuding a refreshing fragrance.

Chen Shi, along with Yu Lingzi, called for the Black Pot and Wooden Cart, opened the Heavenly Court Token, and walked into the Little Heavenly Realms. Qing Yang stayed at the Taihua Qingyang Palace and did not leave with him.

As the gate to the Heavenly Court vanished, Daoist Chang Ying turned around, solemnly saying, "Uncle Qiongyang, you must not cultivate the Golden Cicada Sheds Shell Heavenly Immortal Diagram! Even with Yin Yang Refining, it cannot be said for sure that you will not transform into evil..."

He hadn't finished speaking when the Qiongyang Ancestor shook her head with a look of shock, joy, and some sadness, interrupting him with a smile, "I don't need to cultivate the Golden Cicada Sheds Shell Heavenly Immortal Diagram anymore."

The joy in her heart derived from the increase in her lifespan.

Just now, she consumed the ginseng grass fruit from the red box, increasing her lifespan by over three hundred years, this life span even longer than her current life!

She is now close to a hundred years old, already at the end of her life, although she still maintains the appearance of a young girl, she has been counting her remaining days with her fingers. But with one spiritual medicine in her belly, she suddenly finds herself with three times the life expectancy!

As for the faint sadness, it stemmed from her intention to be ahead of other women in reaching the underworld to reunite with Chen Yindou, but now delayed by over three hundred years because of this spiritual medicine!

This sense of longing lingered in her heart, disturbing her spirit.

Daoist Chang Ying was puzzled, clearly sensing Qiongyang Ancestor's ambition and obsession earlier, why did they suddenly dissipate?

The Qiongyang Ancestor stood atop the mountain, gazing into the distance, suddenly curious: "Where did Little Ten get such spiritual medicine? Wait, he said I could meet Chen Yindou again in the Mortal World, what does that mean?"

She soared into the sky, and a crack of thunder struck down, with a crackle, the Qiongyang Ancestor had already disappeared with the thunder light, her voice echoing from afar: "Chang Ying, I'm leaving for a while, guard the mountain gate well!"

Daoist Chang Ying hurriedly said, "Uncle, where are you going?"

"I'm going to find Little Ten!"

...

Daoist Chang Ying stood dumbfounded, standing on the mountain in bewilderment, muttering, "Back then, Chen Yindou stayed on the mountain for several years and couldn't lure Uncle away. Yet his grandson came, and within a few days, she's gone! But, fortunately, the Qing Yang Ancestor is still around..."

A few days later, in the Qing Yang Palace, the Qing Yang Ancestor had disappeared.

Daoist Chang Ying stood motionless at the front of the palace, only seeing the crooked handwriting of the Qing Yang Ancestor left on the ground: "Taihua Qingyang Palace is no fun, sitting on the altar every day pretending to be a divine statue, I'm going to have some fun! If you need me, look for me at Qianyang Mountain! Don't miss me!"

Daoist Chang Ying quietly erased the clumsy handwriting from the ground and said to the Daoist beside him, "From now on, tell others that the Qing Yang Ancestor has gone into seclusion."

Little Heavenly Realms.

Yu Lingzi marveled continuously, traveling through this peculiar void world, seeing many Red Mountain Hall Talisman Masters rearranging the Sun, Moon, and Stars, remapping star patterns, making the entire starry sky different from its original form. The appearance of the stars had also changed significantly.

Although he is a member of the Heavenly Court, having recently returned to the mountain, he had been confined for breaking the fingers of fellow disciples, and this was his first time entering the Little Heavenly Realms, leaving him shocked.

However, when he saw the Six Ministries, his shock was beyond measure.

Within the Ministry of Rites of the Six Ministries, there is an enormous cultivation technique treasure trove that left him in awe!
