Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 224: Three Opportunities

Gao Xian and Yun Qingxuan had only met once before, but they were deeply impressed by her calm and composed demeanor.

When Yun Qingxuan killed the Ancestor of Thousand Killings, she did so with an indifferent and casual attitude, leaving a profound impression on him.

Gao Xian had even thought that Yun Qingxuan always had this expression, but he didn't expect her to show a change in expression.

In fact, Yun Qingxuan's expression didn't change much, but there was a hint of seriousness and solemnity in her deep and clear eyes.

Because she rarely showed any expression, even the slightest change in her gaze could reflect her emotional fluctuations.

Gao Xian asked, "Master Qingxuan, is there something wrong?"

Wan Yingying was frightened and nervously looked at Yun Qingxuan, but she didn't dare to speak, looking pitiful.

Yun Qingxuan didn't differentiate between adults and children in her eyes; she judged people based on her feelings.

From childhood to adulthood, only a few people had caught her attention. She felt that Gao Xian was worthy of her attention, not because of his relationship with Yun Qiushui, but mainly because of Gao Xian's extraordinary accomplishments in spells, which showed her a new world.

On the other hand, although Gao Xian's words and actions carried a hint of worldliness and sophistication, deep down, he had a sense of detachment from the world, just like her.

The difference was that Gao Xian went with the flow in the mundane world, while his heart remained outside. She, on the other hand, was physically outside but mentally connected to the Qingyun Sect, making her less carefree than Gao Xian.

As for Gao Xian's handsome appearance and extraordinary demeanor, those were secondary and even unimportant.

Although Wan Yingying was beautiful and lovely, Yun Qingxuan didn't care at all. However, this child had a unique spiritual soul and extraordinary physique, which was in line with the characteristics of the legendary Elemental Spirit Body.

People's innate constitution varied greatly; some were naturally suitable for cultivation, while others could never sense qi throughout their lives.

The gap between people, even greater than the difference between a tiger and an ant!

For millions of years, cultivators have summarized some rules based on their experience to determine who is suitable for cultivation.

The so-called Ten Great Dao Bodies and Ten Great Law Bodies are based on this.

The world is vast, and no one dares to claim to know everything. The concept of the Ten Great Dao Bodies and Ten Great Law Bodies is just a summary of cultivators' aptitude.

In terms of innate talent, the Dao Body is the highest, followed by the Law Body, and then the Spirit Body.

The Elemental Spirit Body is clearly listed as one of the Ten Great Law Bodies in the records.

If Wan Yingying really had the Elemental Spirit Body, then her minimum cultivation limit would be a third-grade Gold Core, and it wouldn't be too difficult for her to achieve Nascent Soul, barring any accidents.

Such astonishing cultivation talent would be extremely valuable.

Yun Qingxuan had heard about Wan Yingying from Steward Li and was slightly surprised. That Foundation Building cultivator actually had some vision!

Such a genius indeed had immense value.

If Wan Yingying really had the Elemental Spirit Body, even a Gold Core cultivator would find it difficult to control her.

It was like a fifth-grade divine artifact, far beyond the grasp of a Gold Core cultivator.

Once discovered, it will inevitably bring endless trouble.

Yun Qingxuan ignored Wan Yingying and said to Gao Xian, "She does indeed have extraordinary talent. As for her constitution, I'm a bit uncertain."

"In a few days, our ancestor will come out of seclusion. I will ask the ancestor to take a look."

Gao Xian was delighted. The ancestor Yun Qingxuan mentioned must be the Nascent Soul True Lord Yun Zaitian of the Qingyun Sect. He was the strongest cultivator in the Qingyun Dao and the true master of the Qingyun Dao.

With his help, they would definitely be able to solve Wan Yingying's problem.

If this person took a liking to Wan Yingying's aptitude and accepted her as a disciple, her destiny would be completely changed.

The disciple of the Nascent Soul True Lord, not to mention Foundation Building cultivators, even Golden Core cultivators would not dare to offend. Not to mention, this meant that Wan Yingying would embark on the path of cultivation, with limitless prospects in the future.

Wan Yingying grew up without a mother and followed her father. Her father was killed by Blood Demon Sect cultivators.

With both parents dead, she was left alone and destitute. Such a fate could be described as tragic. If Wan Yingying could turn the tables, she would become a legend.

Gao Xian thanked Yun Qingxuan with a cupped fist salute, "Thank you, True Immortal Qingxuan."

"It's just a small effort. Besides, if she really has the Elemental Spirit Body, it would be a great thing for our sect."

Yun Qingxuan did not take credit for herself. She calmly said, "If that's the case, we should also thank Fellow Daoist for bringing such a talented individual."

Gao Xian smiled. Yun Qingxuan looked aloof and distant, but her words were very sincere.

Yun Qingxuan could speak the truth, but Gao Xian had to be polite, "It's all thanks to True Immortal Qingxuan that we have this opportunity."

"Let her stay in the Jade Mirror Palace for a few days."

Yun Qingxuan didn't like unnecessary pleasantries. She felt that Wan Yingying, such a talented gem, would be too unsafe outside and it would be better for her to stay in the Jade Mirror Palace.

Gao Xian agreed wholeheartedly. He said to Wan Yingying, "Yingying, you will stay with True Immortal Qingxuan in the Jade Mirror Palace for now. The guidance you receive from her will benefit you for a lifetime."

Wan Yingying's bright eyes were filled with reluctance. After hesitating for a moment, she whispered, "Brother, I want to follow you."

Gao Xian smiled, "The path of cultivation is right in front of you. Everything else is just trivial details. What you need to do now is to forge ahead courageously..."

Wan Yingying fell silent. Gao Xian's tone was light, but his words were exceptionally heavy.

"The Great Dao!"

The ultimate goal that every cultivator aspires to, a phrase that has been said countless times by every cultivator.

Wan Yingying had heard cultivators around her mention the Great Dao countless times while living with her father.

She knew this term and vaguely understood its meaning. The Great Dao symbolized longevity with the heavens and earth, endless Divine Abilities, freedom to do as one pleased, and all things beautiful...

But she had never truly felt the reality of this term. She always felt that the Great Dao was far, far away from her, so distant that it was beyond reach, even beyond imagination.

It wasn't until Gao Xian spoke these words that she suddenly realized that the Great Dao was not unattainable. Sometimes, the Great Dao was just an opportunity, a small change.

Just like this time, if she can successfully enter the Qingyun Sect, it would be like stepping onto the path of greatness, with the possibility of achieving enlightenment!

Wan Yingying understood all of this, but she couldn't bear to let go of Gao Xian. She tightly held onto his hand.

Gao Xian softly said, "There is a saying that fate gives everyone three chances to change their own destiny. Seize these three opportunities, and one can become the master of their own fate.

"The vast majority of people are unable to perceive the three gifts bestowed by fate. In the end, they can only submit to the control of fate and live their lives in confusion and mediocrity."

Gao Xian looked into Wan Yingying's bright eyes and said earnestly, "I am very certain that this is your chance to change your destiny. Give it your all, without any hesitation! Without any slack! Without any weakness!

"Promise me that you will firmly grasp your own destiny. Can you do it?"

Facing Gao Xian's star-like eyes, Wan Yingying felt her blood boiling throughout her body. She nodded with great determination, "I can!"

Gao Xian smiled happily and ruffled Wan Yingying's head. "Work hard, and in the future, when you achieve the status of a True Sovereign or a Dao Sovereign, you can take care of me. How about that?"

"Okay!" Wan Yingying replied even louder.

"And you won't forget about your big brother then, right?"

"Absolutely not. I swear on the Dao!" Wan Yingying raised her small hand and made a solemn oath.

"Hahaha... Good child, I'll rely on you in the future." Gao Xian laughed and took out a golden jade pendant with a thin string from his storage bag. He hung it around Wan Yingying's neck. "Consider this pure yang jade pendant as my investment. Keep it well."

Wan Yingying held the golden jade pendant, her small face filled with determination, as if she had already prepared herself to charge forward as a warrior.

Gao Xian found it amusing. Wan Yingying was very clever, but she was still young. A few words of encouragement had instantly ignited her passion.

Such innocence and enthusiasm were truly wonderful.

Wan Yingying bowed deeply to Yun Qingxuan, "I am young and ignorant. Please forgive me, Master Qingxuan."

Yun Qingxuan nodded. Whether Wan Yingying was sensible or not, she didn't really mind. But being obedient like this saved a lot of trouble.

She called a maid to take Wan Yingying away.

Wan Yingying was resolute in her words, but as she left, she kept turning back to look at Gao Xian, reluctant to part with him.

Gao Xian waved his hand to signal her, until he couldn't see Wan Yingying anymore.

He turned his head and saw Yun Qingxuan looking at him with clear eyes.

Gao Xian forced a laugh, "Both of this child's parents have passed away, so she has been with me for the past two years. She's quite clingy. I apologize for the inconvenience, Master Qingxuan."

Yun Qingxuan shook her head slightly. It was Gao Xian's business to coax the child. What she cared about were the words Gao Xian had just said.

"Fellow Daoist's understanding of the Dao is truly moving. The idea that everyone has three chances to change their own destiny is quite interesting."

Gao Xian suppressed his smile and slowly said, "Actually, this is just a comforting imagination for those at the bottom. Life without hope is too oppressive.

"It's like a traveler in the desert who has drunk the last drop of water. They need to tell themselves that there is an oasis with water ahead, only then can they persevere. Perhaps there really is an oasis ahead, or perhaps not..."

Yun Qingxuan remained silent for a while before saying, "Very philosophical, Fellow Daoist's insights are extraordinary, which has broadened my horizons as well."

"Master Qingxuan is too kind," Gao Xian humbly replied.

Yun Qingxuan shook her head slightly. She never flattered others with empty words. She also disliked this ineffective way of communication.

She said, "The Wuxu Xuan Turtle Shield is the treasure of the Chief Water Jade Sakura of the Patrol Court. Water Jade Sakura is in the early stage of Gold Core, and her cultivation is quite pure."

"This person has a mean and narrow-minded character. I have talked to her, and she promised not to harm you. However, with her temperament, she won't let it go easily. She will find a way to make things difficult for you at the Qingyun Conference. Be prepared..."

"Thank you, Master Qingxuan, for your protection," Gao Xian stood up and expressed his gratitude. If it weren't for Yun Qingxuan's intervention, this matter would have been troublesome.

Yun Qingxuan also stood up and politely declined Gao Xian's full courtesy, "It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning."

She then added, "Qiu Shui will be back in a few days, and he will come to find you."

Gao Xian understood and said, "It's getting late, I'll take my leave. If there is any news from Yingying, please inform me, Master Qingxuan."

Yun Qingxuan nodded slightly, "I won't see Fellow Daoist off, take care."

The maid who was standing by in the distance was summoned by Yun Qingxuan's divine sense and hurriedly came over to lead Gao Xian out.

After Gao Xian left, a handsome middle-aged man in blue walked slowly into the pavilion.

Yun Qingxuan slightly bowed, "Father, why are you here?"

The middle-aged man in blue smiled, "Since you and your brother value this person so much, I naturally have to come and see."

"Oh."

Yun Qingxuan didn't like her father's way of doing things. Her appreciation for Gao Xian was based on their compatibility, without any other calculations. Therefore, she didn't want to discuss this matter with her father.

However, the middle-aged man was quite interested in Gao Xian. He said, "He is worldly-wise and ambitious, a talented person. It's just that he is a bit older..."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

If Gao Xian were ten years younger, with his intelligence, he would have a great chance of achieving Gold Core. Now, wanting to form a Gold Core, the difficulty has increased several times.

This means that Gao Xian has almost cut off his path to advancement.

The middle-aged man said indifferently, "It's fine to make friends, but there's no need to invest too much. He won't go too far on the Great Dao."

Yun Qingxuan calmly said, "He can obtain the top spot and enter the Divine Palace directly, without any special treatment."

"Based on him?"

The middle-aged man laughed, "This conference has produced many geniuses. I want to see how he will win the top spot!"
