Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Fifteen years ago, Madam Luya had a cascade of beautiful hair and fair, radiant skin, but fifteen years later, her transformation was shocking.

The Madam Luya of today not only had snow-white hair, but her once smooth cheeks were covered in wrinkles, making her look extremely old. What was even more surprising was that fifteen years ago, Madam Luya's cultivation was at the peak of the凝海境 (Ninghai Realm), but now it had declined to the early stage of the凝海境 (Ninghai Realm), and her whole body gave off a deathly aura.

This change was definitely unusual. If it were anyone else, they would surely feel despair, but Madam Luya was different. Not only did she not show any signs of frustration, but her eyes were filled with excitement!

"Senior Sister, weren't you in seclusion to heal your injuries? Why are you here?" The middle-aged man asked, his expression stunned upon seeing Madam Luya.

This man was named Zhu Sheng, and he was Madam Luya's junior brother. Since Madam Luya had passed the 阑芳经 (Lanfang Sutra) to Li Qianyun, she had been focusing on healing her injuries due to excessive loss of cultivation, and no longer had the energy to manage the affairs of the sect. Therefore, Zhu Sheng had become the acting sect master of the 阑芳宗 (Lanfang Sect).

"Haha, Junior Brother Zhu Sheng, don't worry about me. This old woman is happy today! Since Yun'er has integrated the 阑芳经 (Lanfang Sutra), it means that she has been recognized by the ancestors and has become the heir to the next sect master. With Yun'er's talent, she may even go a step further. At that time, our 阑芳宗 (Lanfang Sect) will have another筑天境 (Zhutian Realm) expert after ten thousand years!" Madam Luya said excitedly, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

Looking at Madam Luya's appearance, the middle-aged man named Zhu Sheng couldn't help but nod. He knew very well that his position as sect master was only temporary. Once Li Qianyun completely integrated the 阑芳经 (Lanfang Sutra), she would automatically be promoted to the next sect master of the 阑芳宗 (Lanfang Sect). In the meantime, he would just be temporarily in charge.

However, even so, he did not feel any dissatisfaction or jealousy. On the contrary, like Madam Luya, he had high expectations and admiration for Li Qianyun. After all, the situation was turbulent, and the entire cultivation world was about to usher in a great calamity.

At that time, all forces would be reshuffled. Even if the 阑芳宗 (Lanfang Sect) had a long history, it was still unknown whether it could withstand this calamity. Therefore, if a筑天境 (Zhutian Realm) expert could emerge, they would be able to gain more initiative before the arrival of this calamity. This would undoubtedly be good news for the next ten thousand-year plan of the 阑芳宗 (Lanfang Sect).

Zhu Sheng was by no means a pedantic person. He knew that the next era would be led by young people like Li Qianyun and Cao Fangcun, so whether they could take the initiative in this storm depended entirely on Li Qianyun!

At this moment, in his melancholy gaze, the huge red chrysanthemum in the sky gradually closed and slowly sank, returning to the Embroidery Cave. The previous anomalies had all disappeared.

"Zhu Sheng, although Yun'er has integrated the 阑芳经 (Lanfang Sutra), she still needs five years to consolidate it. During this period, you must ensure that Yun'er is not disturbed by external forces, so that she can concentrate on cultivation. Do you understand?" At this time, Madam Luya withdrew her gaze and instructed.

"Senior Sister, rest assured, I will arrange everything properly and will definitely not allow Yun'er to be disturbed in the slightest," Zhu Sheng replied quickly, not daring to be negligent.

"Very good." Madam Luya seemed very satisfied and nodded slightly.

But at this moment, she seemed to have thought of something again, and frowned, saying, "Zhu Sheng, you must know about Yun'er's twenty-year agreement with that Chen Tian, right?"

"Hmm?" Hearing this, Junior Brother Zhu Sheng was shocked. He really did not expect that Madam Luya would mention this matter. However, he did not dare to hide anything and immediately nodded, "I have heard about it. I have been paying attention to Chen Tian's situation during this period. It seems that he has also been in seclusion since returning from the Cao family, but I don't know what he is doing."

"In any case, we must not take this person lightly." Madam Luya said with a gloomy expression, "You should know how badly our Yun'er was injured by this person during the 魔域之墟 (Demon Domain Ruins) trip. This shows that this person's strength is extraordinary. If we don't take some measures, I'm afraid Yun'er may suffer a great loss."

"Oh?" Junior Brother Zhu Sheng's face froze, and he asked with a frown, "Then according to Senior Sister, what should we do?"

"It's very simple! This person must not be left alive, and he must not have any more contact with our Yun'er. So what I mean is, before the twenty-year agreement arrives, get rid of him..."

Madam Luya did not say the last few words, but raised her wrinkled left hand and made a gesture of a sharp knife falling.

Seeing this, Junior Brother Zhu Sheng's heart suddenly trembled, and he said in horror, "Senior Sister, you want to kill this person?"

"That's right." Madam Luya nodded, filled with killing intent, "Yun'er is our 阑芳宗 (Lanfang Sect)'s last hope. In any case, we must protect her and must not allow her to be in any danger. So this old woman is confident that after integrating the 阑芳经 (Lanfang Sutra), Yun'er's strength will definitely far surpass that Chen Tian, but for some reason, this old woman still feels a trace of worry in her heart. After all, that Chen Tian is no small matter. He has unlimited potential, and his cultivation talent is no less than Yun'er's. So, just in case, this old woman plans to use this remaining half-life to die together with this kid!"

"What? Senior Sister, you plan to personally kill Chen Tian?" Junior Brother Zhu Sheng's face changed drastically, and he said in shock.

"This old woman is already a dying person. If I can really exchange this rotten life for a ten thousand-year foundation for the 阑芳宗 (Lanfang Sect), then I will have made a great profit! Yun'er is the hope for the revival of our 阑芳宗 (Lanfang Sect), and must not be lost!" Obviously, this idea had been brewing in Madam Luya's heart for a long time, and was not something that came to her mind on a whim.

Hearing this, Junior Brother Zhu Sheng still wanted to say something, but after moving his lips, he could only sigh helplessly and nod, "Although this method is a bit despicable, it concerns our 阑芳宗 (Lanfang Sect)'s ten thousand-year plan, so we can only do this. I wonder when Senior Sister will set off?"

"The sooner the better, today!" Madam Luya said firmly, "I understand that girl Yun'er's temperament. If she knew about this, she would never agree. So I can only do it secretly, and report it after it's done!"

"Okay, since Senior Sister is determined, then Junior Brother can only wish Senior Sister a safe journey. I think with Senior Sister's ability, you will definitely be able to return safely. At that time, Junior Brother will definitely hold a welcome feast for Senior Sister!" Junior Brother Zhu Sheng sighed.

Hearing this, Madam Luya did not show too much pessimism on her face. Instead, she smiled and said, "Junior Brother, you don't need to comfort me with these words. I know that this trip is extremely dangerous, and I don't plan to come back alive. And the only thing I can't let go of is Yun'er. From now on, I will entrust her to you. I hope you must take good care of her. Can you promise me this request?"

Hearing these words, Junior Brother Zhu Sheng showed a serious expression. He took a step back and bowed deeply to Madam Luya, "Senior Sister, rest assured, I will definitely take good care of Yun'er. May you have a safe journey!"

After receiving this guarantee, Madam Luya seemed to have no more worries. She looked at the entrance of Li Qianyun's seclusion cave again, and then her body turned into a long rainbow and flew rapidly towards the Immortal Demon Gate where Chen Tian was located!
