"Senior Zhang, where is the Skywolf world?" inquired Qin Yun.

"The Skywolf world is in the Effulgent World"s dominion. As you are mortal, it would not be difficult for you to head to the Skywolf world," said Ancestral Master Zhang. "However, the real challenge will be taking your daughter away from the Skywolf world."

"But my daughter might in grave danger now. How can I pretend like it isn"t happening?" Qin Yun could not hide his anxiety.

"The present Yellow-robed Supremacy is capricious in nature. Although he still bears some sentiment towards Green Touring Palace disciples, about thirty to forty percent of all Daoist cultivators in the Three Realms are from the Numinous Treasure lineage. It"s an uncountable number. He won"t show mercy to just any cultivator from the Numinous Treasure lineage," warned Ancestral Master Zhang.

"I understand," said Qin Yun. "All I want to do is rescue my daughter. He used to have a child himself, after all. If he really kills me because of this, there is nothing I can say."

"Brother Yun." Yi Xiao looked at Qin Yun.

"Even if I were to die, there are many people willing to receive me." Qin Yun consoled his wife. "In the Effulgent Great World, the direct sword cultivation line of the Grand Supreme lineage and the Primordial Beginning lineage have already given me their word."

"If you choose to reincarnate, that"s a good thing too." Ancestral Master Zhang nodded. "After all, creating a sword immortal Dharmic formulation yourself is indeed very difficult. You are from the Numinous Treasure lineage. The ones to receive you should be us from the Numinous Treasure lineage. How can we leave it to the Grand Supreme or the Primordial Beginning people?"

Qin Yun said with a smile, "That"s only in the worst case scenario. Perhaps I might successfully rescue my daughter and bring her back."

"It"s a pity I have never met Senior Brother Yellow-robed," said Ancestral Master Zhang regretfully. "I can"t help you much. Master does not discriminate in his teachings and has tens of thousands of disciples. There are many of my senior brothers I have not met, and so I do not have much of a relations.h.i.+p with them. I"m considered one of the later recruits of the Green Touring Palace and my strength is rated at the bottom. To be honest... many disciples do not think much of me in the Green Touring Palace. After all, strength is most important in the cultivation world. One will only be respected if they are strong."

"Brother Zhang cultivates slowly because he wants to create the Divine Firmament Lightning Dharma himself," said Patriarch Bai.

"It"s much easier for me than it is for Qin Yun. After all, there are many Lightning Dharma for me to reference in Green Touring Palace. There are also many talisman amulet Dharmic formulations to reference," said Ancestral Master Zhang.


East Sea Skydragon said, "Brother Zhang, you are a Green Touring Palace disciple. Your standing should mean something, right?"

"Qin Yun, you have my memento. If you were to go to the Skywolf world and meet Yellow-robed Supremacy, use it to contact me immediately. Perhaps on account of me being a Green Touring Palace disciple, he might spare you. That"s all I can do," said Ancestral Master Zhang. "I only have a handful of senior brothers and sisters that I"m close to in Green Touring Palace. And they are all recently recruited disciples like myself. I have never met Senior Brother Yellow-robed Supremacy either. After all, he already had a post in the Heavenly Courts when it was first established."

"Thank you, Senior Zhang," said Qin Yun gratefully. Yi Xiao bowed gratefully as well, "Thank you, Ancestral Master."

"But you have to be careful," advised Ancestral Master Zhang. "After all, Senior Brother Yellow-robed has become a very sinister person."

"Yes, I"ll return to think about it and see if there are any solutions. If there are none, I"ll head to the Skywolf world," said Qin Yun.

"Don"t be in a hurry. I"ll ask my friends, they might be able to help us think of something. I"ll give you an answer in half a month."

"Thank you, Senior Zhang (Ancestral Master)." Qin Yun and Yi Xiao said gratefully.

...

Soon, Qin Yun and Yi Xiao bade farewell and returned to Jiang Prefecture"s Grand Dominance.

Grand Dominance City, Qin Manor.

Qin Liehu and Changlan were very happy to see Qin Yun and Yi Xiao return together.

Later that day, Qin Yun and Yi Xiao held a banquet and invited their good friends, Hong Lingtong and Eighth Zhu.

"I wish to rescue my daughter. Brother Hong and Brother Eighth Zhu, both of you are reincarnated immortals with great knowledge. I wonder if you can think of any solutions?" asked Qin Yun.

Hong Lingtong and Eighth Zhu exchanged looks.

"I have also long heard of Yellow-robed Supremacy," said Eighth Zhu. "It"s definitely impossible to use force when dealing with him, so the only way is to do it diplomatically! Yellow-robed Supremacy has subordinates in the Skywolf world as well. Perhaps there might be hope if you focus your efforts on his subordinates instead of him."

"You still have to go to the Skywolf world and something like this can"t be rushed. First figure out the situation before planning your strategy," added Hong Lingtong. "We do not have any good ideas either."

"Yes." Qin Yun nodded slightly. He was only trying to brainstorm. After all, both of them had the experience of a past life and had wider breadth of knowledge.

After they sent off Hong Lingtong and Eighth Zhu, Qin Yun and Yi Xiao sat by the side of the mirror lake.

"Let"s wait for Senior Zhang. He might get some ideas from asking his friends," said Qin Yun.

"Boom!"

A purple bolt of lightning flashed in the distance as it landed at their side.

Qin Yun and Yi Xiao looked in astonishment. Speaking of Ancestral Master Zhang!

"Senior Zhang, is there any news?" Qin Yun looked at Ancestral Master Zhang.

"Not really, but there"s someone who wants to meet you," said Ancestral Master Zhang. He pointed into midair and a rift appeared out of the void. On the other end of the rift was a smiling blue-robed Daoist.

He looked at Qin Yun warmly. "My young friend, Qin Yun."

"Qin Yun, this is the sect master of Golden Light Sect of the Effulgent Great World, Yu Tong," introduced Ancestral Master Zhang.

"Senior Yu." Qin Yun bowed immediately.

"Uncle-Master Zhang, you should have told me earlier that your Great Chang world has produced such a powerful cultivator," said the blue-robed Daoist. "It was only after I learned that there was a person named Qin Yun on the Roll that I investigated carefully and learned that he came from the Great Chang world."

Qin Yun understood immediately. He thought to himself, "I have heard of the Golden Light Sect sect master before. He is an eighth firmament Skyimmortal. I never expected him to address Ancestral Master Zhang as Uncle-Master Zhang. That means that he wasn"t taken in as a disciple of Numinous Treasure Dao Ancestor?"

Although Numinous Treasure Dao Ancestor had many students, he did have some conditions.

Just having the strength of a seventh or eighth firmament Skyimmortal did not necessarily mean one would be chosen as a disciple of the Dao Ancestor.

"Our Great Chang world experienced a calamity recently so the matter was delayed," said Ancestral Master Zhang.

"Qin Yun," Yu Tong looked at Qin Yun through the distance s.p.a.ce. "I know the Grand Supreme sword immortal lineage and the Primordial Beginning lineage have invited you. However, you are ultimately a disciple of our Numinous Treasure lineage. They will have to wait their turn. If you are willing to enter my Golden Light Sect, many top Dharmic formulations can be made available for your selection. Of course, our Golden Light Sect does not have any sword immortal Dharmic formulations. Only the Grand Supreme Dao Ancestor"s creation of the sword immortal lineage exists in the Three Realms. And as you know, it is a secret heritage."

"Enter the Golden Light Sect? I"ll need to think about it," said Qin Yun.

He had no plans to convert his cultivation so there was no need for him to enter a sect.

Entering a sect had its benefits but there were responsibilities as well.

"As it is our first meeting, I have some gifts for you. Our Numinous Treasure lineage is not as stingy as the Grand Supreme or Primordial Beginning lineages." Yu Tong waved his hand, immediately sending a few manuals across the void rift.

Qin Yun raised his hand and caught the thick manuals.

"This is a manual that allows cultivation to the ninth firmament Skyimmortal realm, Blue Clouds Immortal Dharma. I chanced upon it and it"s not considered a manual of the Golden Light Sect, so I can give it to you," said Yu Tong with a smile. "Although it"s not a top Dharmic formulation in the Three Realms, it"s considered quite an orthodox Dharmic formulation among Daoists. There are many Dharma spells and methods to refine Dharma treasures. It details how one should cultivate from mortality to the ninth firmament Skyimmortal realm. You can use it as reference to create a sword immortal Dharmic formulation. As for these three other books, they are some incomplete records regarding the sword immortal lineage. The entire Three Realms have always been watching the sword immortal lineage. These incomplete records might give you some inspiration in creating a sword immortal Dharmic formulation."

Qin Yun casually browsed through them as his eyes lit up. He immediately said, "Thank you, Senior Yu."

"You can attempt to create a sword immortal Dharmic formulation. However, other than Grand Supreme Dao Ancestor, no one in the Three Realms has ever created an Essence Soul realm sword immortal Dharmic formulation. That path is just too difficult," said Yu Tong. "If you find it to be impossible, please choose to reincarnate. We will immediately receive you! When you awaken your past life"s memories, your attainments might be even higher if you take a different path."

Ancestral Master Zhang said immediately, "Qin Yun, if you were to create an Essence Soul realm sword immortal Dharmic formulation, you will be the only one that has ever succeeded in the Three Realms. With my understanding of Master, he will likely take you in as a disciple upon seeing that. You will also become a Grand Supreme Dao Ancestor disciple. With Senior Brother Yellow-robed"s character, he will not harm the daughter of a Grand Supreme Dao Ancestor disciple."

"Yes, I will be able to rescue my daughter that way." Qin Yun"s eyes lit up. He looked at the manuals in hand as felt an intense yearning.

He had to... he had to create an Essence Soul sword immortal Dharmic formulation!

It was for his own cultivation path and for his daughter!
