Amazing Talent, Unpredictable Phenomena (Third release, asking for monthly tickets and subscriptions) After the Valley Master of Misty Valley finished speaking, Pei Jinye had yet to awaken.
The disciples around, under the Valley Master’s instructions, had stepped back from the hall to prevent disturbing Pei Jinye’s enlightenment.
“Valley Master, this…”
An Elder looked on with uncertainty.
The Valley Master of Misty Valley, with kind and benevolent eyes, stroked his long beard and gently smiled, “Opportunities do not come often, and once lost they do not return. After my passing, seek his protection a time or two, this is the good fate I establish with him today.”
“Valley Master, are you really not confident about ascension?” The alarmed Elder beside him quickly looked on.
The elder responded with a usual expression, “The paths of humans and immortals are different. I have already felt my time approaching, the rest will be up to you all.”
“Valley Master–”
“Why panic? I can still be with you for some time, it’s not like I am passing away right now.” The elder chuckled and scolded, appearing optimistic about life and death.
The Elder beside him looked as if he had lost a loved one, hanging his head, remaining silent.
…
Suddenly, a gasp arose from the crowd, but it was quickly suppressed by the Elder next to them.
Many disciples quickly covered their mouths.
Yet, some still whispered, “It’s the Golden Lotus!”
“He was able to manifest a Golden Lotus… what exactly has he comprehended?”
Shang Wuji also furrowed his brows, gazing at the Golden Lotus swirling and growing above Pei Jinye’s head, murmuring to himself, “The lotus is always revered and symbolizes purity… could it mean that Pei is pure of heart?”
But then he thought of how ruthlessly Pei Jinye had acted against General Divinity in the side hall. Was this purity?
“No, perhaps it is because Pei is pure of heart that he acts so directly, without any deceit.”
Shang Wuji rationalized to himself, interpreting Pei Jinye’s actions.
Looking again at the Golden Lotus above Pei Jinye, the slight reservation he had about Pei Jinye due to his “simplicity of heart” dissipated like smoke.
Such a straightforward person, who could be more pure than him!
It was all General Divinity’s fault!
It was all him!
Yes, it was him!
…
“Valley Master, this Golden Lotus phenomenon…”
The Elder next to him gazed in disbelief, not even realizing his own voice trembling.
He swore that in over fifty years of cultivation, he had never witnessed such a phenomenon.
Could cultivation really bring about such phenomena?
The Valley Master of Misty Valley also looked on with surprised eyes at Pei Jinye.
“Golden Lotus…”
He shook his head.
Unfathomable.
He could only sigh and say, “Everything has its own uniqueness. His ability to reach this step shows his talent is unlike that of ordinary people.”
The Elders beside him sighed endlessly.
Regretting why Pei Jinye wasn’t one of their disciples in Misty Valley.
With him, Misty Valley wouldn’t have to worry about prospering.
“What a pity.”
The Valley Master of Misty Valley seemed not to hear him, instead staring blankly at the Golden Lotus formed above Pei Jinye’s head.
There also seemed to be a faint realization dawning on him.
It was only lacking the final step.
But what exactly was this final step?
…
From a distance.
Wuxing Castle Master Cang Yunfei looked on enviously, “Pei has actually brought forth such a major phenomenon; his talent truly makes one envious.”
“Hmph, what’s there to be envious of, unable to become an immortal, after a hundred years, all that remains is a mound of yellow earth,” General Divinity scoffed disdainfully.
Cang Yunfei looked over, shaking his head, “General Divinity, you are biased. I know you have some old grievances with Wanda Country, but what has Pei done wrong?”
General Divinity shot him a sharp look, “Cang, are you determined to side with that person?”
“I’m merely speaking based on facts; why don’t you understand,” Cang Yunfei shook his head, offering no further explanation.
General Divinity felt a mix of annoyance and embarrassment.
Just about to say something.
But people from Misty Valley were already looking their way, so he simply flicked his sleeve and gave a cold snort.
“Uncle Shang, this…” A disciple of Misty Valley noticed the scene and wanted to intervene, but Shang Wuji stopped him, “Let him be.”
The young disciple looked confusedly at Shang Wuji but dared not ask more and hastily bowed his head again.
…
The scorching sun overhead.
The Golden Lotus towering above.
Unsurprisingly, the events of this day in Misty Valley were destined to be recorded in the annals of Misty Valley history.
Under the watchful eyes of many.
Above the sky, dense clouds had gathered unbeknownst to when.
In a blink, the sky had turned completely dark.
The thick black clouds created an extremely oppressive visual impact.
Amid the roaring wind.
Some disciples of Misty Valley, feeling apprehensive, quickly stepped back.
“Is it going to rain?”
An Elder raised his head, somewhat uncertain.
Shang Wuji’s gaze, however, swiftly moved from the dense black clouds above to Pei Jinye.
At this moment, he had only one thought in mind.
“Could all this… have been brought about by him? No… could it?”
With a “crack,”
The entire sky suddenly lit up.
“Not good.”
Shang Wuji’s heart skipped a beat.
He shouted, “Use the Array to control the thunder!”
Dozens of figures on the square simultaneously formed seals.
The spectacular scene was somewhat earth-shaking.
The next second, a massive purple lightning pillar descended from the sky.
“Bang!”
The entire square trembled.
Dozens of people formed an array and withstood the divine thunder.
Yet, a disciple still screamed in shock and was blown away by the rebound.
“Ouch–”
After a group had fallen.
Seeing the vague purple lightning still emerging in the sky, Shang Wuji hurriedly shouted, “Quick, get them inside the hall.”
He formed an array at the forefront.
Several elders beside him appeared at the same time, forming Dharma Seals to block the lightning strikes.
The surrounding disciples rushed forward, carrying away those who were wailing on the ground.
They entered the grand hall.
With a “crack” sound,
The sky first lit up brightly, followed immediately by another thunderclap striking beneath the grand hall.
While everyone was puzzled,
They heard the Misty Valley Master saying, “Comprehend well, the mysteries of the universe are all within these thunder sounds.”
Everyone was shocked.
Shang Wuji also hurriedly looked towards the sky.
The purple lightning struck down, the sound thunderous.
What mysteries could be discerned from listening to the thunder?
He only felt that the golden lotus above Pei Jinye’s head seemed to have unknowingly grown significantly larger.
Was it an illusion?
As his gaze hesitated, a thunderbolt struck directly above Pei Jinye’s head, prompting a collective gasp around him.
However, unexpectedly,
At that moment,
The golden lotus bloomed.
The column of thunder that descended from the sky, hitting the target, caused a vibration that deeply shocked all the surrounding disciples.
Cang Yunfei and several other renowned experts also panicked, swiftly dodging to the side.
“What about that thunderbolt just now?”
“I think I saw it being devoured by the blooming golden lotus!”
“It’s not that it appeared to be, it really was devoured, I saw it with my own eyes.”
“My god, what exactly is this golden lotus?”
…
…
When Pei Jinye opened his eyes, the twilight had already fallen.
Only a few people were left by his side.
He paused for a moment, seemingly coming back to his senses.
The figure he saw was Shang Wuji, who nodded apologetically, “Sorry, I was so deep in thought.”
Thinking…
Shang Wuji didn’t know what else to say.
He managed a forced smile, “Elder, this way, please.”
Elder?
Shang Wuji had changed his title.
He had no choice but to change it.
Considering the spectacular scene from this morning… who could have managed that?
Who else could have withstood it?
In the silence,
Pei Jinye followed Shang Wuji to the main hall.
There was a figure lingering on the steps at the entrance of the grand hall.
When Shang Wuji saw the person, he stopped, bowed, and said, “I’ve seen Cang friend.”
Cang Yunfei returned the bow, seemingly understanding the other’s underlying confusion, and said with a smile, “I didn’t follow Long friend and the others away, but stayed here to discuss some matters with Pei friend. I’ll leave once we’re done.”
Hearing this, Shang Wuji nodded and said while bowing, “Elder Pei, I’ll wait for you at the entrance of the hall.”
After he left,
He left the two to discuss some private matters.
…
“Pei friend,” Cang Yunfei respectfully bowed to Pei Jinye.
Pei Jinye returned the gesture, “What brings Cang friend here?”
Cang Yunfei glanced around and spoke softly, “It wasn’t my doing, but after much thought, I deemed it necessary to mention something to Pei friend as a caution. Did you know General Divinity before?”
“I did not,” Pei Jinye shook his head, “What about him? Does he intend to target me?”
Cang Yunfei looked unsurprised and whispered, “General Divinity had some grievances with the Imperial Family of Wanda Country long ago, and there’s news that under your command, Wanda Country is launching a campaign against other countries, sweeping across the world. The covert powers controlled by General Divinity might be threatened…”
Pei Jinye slightly raised his eyebrows.
Cang Yunfei continued in a low voice, “Earlier, when Pei friend was gaining enlightenment, General Divinity left abruptly. I don’t know if he will target Wanda Country or possibly target you in the shadows, but being cautious won’t hurt. I’ll go back and gather more information, and if there’s any movement, I will act at the first opportunity.”
Pei Jinye expressed his gratitude, “Thank you for the warning, Cang friend.”
Cang Yunfei nodded, smiling, “I haven’t yet congratulated Pei friend on your enlightenment, truly something I envy.”
Pei Jinye shook his head, earnestly saying, “It’s well said by that Elder from Misty Sect.”
Cang Yunfei’s eyes flickered with curiosity, itching to know what exactly was the ‘Path’ that Misty Valley Master and Pei Jinye understood.
Nevertheless, he didn’t ask and bowed to Pei Jinye to say farewell.
Pei Jinye watched him for a while before looking away.
A clever man.
He turned around.
And stepped into the main hall.
Shang Wuji bowed to him, respectfully waiting by the side, then led Pei Jinye to Misty Valley Master’s study.
…
“Have a seat, Pei friend. I hope you don’t mind.”

“Wherefore such words, Elder? I haven’t yet thanked you for selflessly imparting the great Dao.”
The Misty Valley Master did not accept the gratitude, shaking his head slightly, “The Dao is right here. I merely walked a few steps ahead of others. Few can understand, those old fellows one by one left, and now, I alone remain in the world. Now seeing you, I can finally achieve my heart’s desire.”
“Elder speaks too highly of me.”
The Misty Valley Master gestured for Pei Jinye to have some tea.
“Come, visit often in the future to discuss the Dao with me. This old frame of mine has perhaps a year left to live, which is sufficient.”
