Chapter 260 - Seeing My Old Friends Again

Above the sea of clouds, several lights rushed forward; they flew even faster than sound. On the way, they had surpassed numerous planes, and they had concealed themselves with Tao Law.

They kept them unnoticed by the mortals just because they were desperate to get back home.

Zhao Changge asked, “Bugui, where are we heading first?”

Wang Bugui turned around. “Do you guys still want to follow me? We should go back to our own sect first. In time, when Wude decides the place, I’ll send a message to you and then you’ll come find me in Kunlun Mountain.”

Feng Tianming was the first to answer, “OK! I’ll come back to report to my master first, and then I’ll visit Kunlun Mountain.”

Then, in the direction of Shushan, he rode on the sword at full speed and left with Misawa Chihiro.

Zhao Changge bowed, bid his farewell to Wang Buguiand, and then accelerated again to head back to Mount Chang. “Then I’ll go to my master first too. Bugui, wait for me!”

“See you!”

“We’ll see you in Kunlun Mountain!”

Leng Yueyan and Ning Zhe also bid their farewell one after another. Soon, the group dispersed and there’s few left.

Lyu Hao signaled. “Chu He, you’re also a liberal cultivator. So come with me to Bugui’s sect.”

Chu He smiled. “I thought so. I haven’t seen Wude in a long time; I really want to drink a few shots with him.”

“How are a few shots enough? Let’s go to the mortal world first to get a few jars of wine and get wasted after we get back!”

Wang Bugui laughed out loud and then performed Hell Step at full speed. Instantly, he was thousand of zhang away. Chu He and Lyu Hao also followed and accelerated in the direction of Kunlun Mountain again.

“Whiz, whiz, whiz!”

Three figures landed on Yuxu Peak. Wang Bugui took out the crystal rock and opened the familiar light door. Then, he stepped in.

“Finally! I’m back again!”

Wang Bugui looked around and still saw a familiar scene. It was still the same picturesque Pure Land!

“Master! Sister Ziyu! Lan Chuan, Yu’er! Little fellows! I’m back!!”

A howl reverberated on Pure Land and broke the silence that lasted one year here.

“Ah! Bugui!”

In Imperial Clan, the white-haired Yun Jinghong was suddenly shaken. In hid mind, the familiar voice echoed hundreds of times. After confirming, again and again, he finally made sure that it was his dear disciple.

Immediately, he turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared in the hall. The next moment, he rushed beside Wang Bugui, staring at him with a pair of red eyes. In the end, he hugged his disciple.

“Bugui! You’re still alive, you’re still alive! Haha… it’s great!!”

Wang Bugui was stunned by Yun Jinghong’s actions. However, when he closely watched his master’s clothes. He found it should be clothes worn at a funeral.

Wang Bugui asked, “Master, what happened to you? Why are you in white clothes?”

Yun Jinghong sobbed. “I… I thought you’ve already fallen there!”

At that moment, he was not like a master, but a father. He looked like a father who feared to lose his son and couldn’t help crying.

“Your Majesty!!!”

Immediately, voices of Lan Chuan and Xue Yu’er rang in the distance. They rushed here with spiritual beasts. If one looked at them closely, he would find their heads all wrapped in white cloth.

“Your Majesty!”

Xue Yu’er was the fastest. She directly threw herself into Wang Bugui’s arms and sobbed. “Your Majesty! You survived! It’s great! Great! Boohoo…”

“Your Majesty! You scared us to death!”

Even Lan Chuan was no exception. He grabbed Wang Bugui’s thigh and rubbed his head against it. Subsequently, those little spiritual beasts also followed to surround him.

They surrounded Wang Bugui in the middle of them, either rubbing him with their heads or flapping him with their wings and feet. They also moaned and called his name through secret voice-sending.

“The…”

Chu He and Lyu Hao felt more confused. Judging from these spiritual beasts’ and Yun Jinghong’s reactions, they really thought Wang Bugui had fallen.

Wang Bugui asked, “Master, calm down. What exactly has happened?”

Yun Jinghong and those spiritual beasts finally released him. Nevertheless, Xue Yu’er still didn’t leave; she just nestled in his embrace.

“One month ago, when I was cultivating, I saw your soul lamp suddenly go out. You know what that means. At that time, it’s like the sky had fallen.

“I’d tried every way to find out your status, but only found you’d really died. I was desperate so I held your funeral in Pure Land.

“I was going to go to the west to avenge you! By the grace of God, you didn’t die! When I heard your voice today, I almost thought I was hearing things.

“Luckily, it’s real. You really came back alive!”

Yun Jinghong briefed him about all the things that happened. After that, he gently stroked Wang Bugui’s forehead and just stared at him, speechless for a long time.

Wang Bugui heard those words and slightly frowned because he remembered the day when he committed suicide. Then, he told everything about the experience, which greatly shocked Yun Jinghong and those spiritual beasts.

They didn’t expect that on that day, he really had died, and even had walked beside Naihe Bridge. Fortunately, Azrael showed up in time and dragged him back from the Netherland. Otherwise, once he stepped into Forgetting River, he could never return.

Yun Jinghong shook his head and exclaimed. “Ah! Look how much you suffered. I didn’t expect you really had been to the Netherland.”

“It’s unfilial of me to do that. I made you worry!”

Wang Bugui knelt before Yun Jinghong and heavily kowtowed three times. Seeing his master’s white hair, weathered face, and growing wrinkles, he couldn’t help feeling sad.

Master treated him well just like his father. However, he had made his master worry so much. He really did something bad!

“Alright. Since you came back safe and sound, everything will be fine.”

Yun Jinghong helped Wang Bugui up and looked at Lyu Hao and Chu He, smiling, “Look how I… Why are you still standing here? Go to Imperial Clan. Let’s talk.”

“Yes!”

The group flew to Imperial Clan together. When under it, Wang Bugui especially asked Yun Jinghong to release the Yuxu Staircase. Then, without utilizing any cultivation base, he used purely physical strength.

He should turn into a streak of black lightning and rushed to the end nonstop!

“Ah! You’ve become a Big Capable?!”

Below, Yun Jinghong stared agape. He didn’t expect that a year later, Wang Bugui had advanced from the sage to the Big Capable level!

Wang Bugui turned around to say, “Hehe, I’ve only leveled up recently, and it’s still not steady because I haven’t figured out a way to create Tao Law in this realm yet.”

“Is it? Now, do you have any idea?”

Yun Jinghong also instantly arrived by Wang Bugui and waved to bring along those spiritual beasts. Lyu Hao and Chu He also followed closely but couldn’t move on when there were still nine steps left. Without any other way, they used their cultivation to walk past them.

This was the power of the staircase. Only those with Big Capable cultivation or whose physical bodies were at Imperial Clan Big Capable level could walk on the last nine steps.

Wang Bugui smiled, “I have a vague idea. I probably could combine primordial spirit and Taoism in heaven and earth.”

Yun Jinghong furrowed his brows. “That might be difficult. In Imperial Clan, we’ve always focused on developing primordial spirit treasures and opening primordial spirit three times to unlock the secrets of primordial spirit.”

Then, he strode forward, followed by Wang Bugui who said, “So, I have to learn a lot from Master and Sister Ziyu.”

When they entered Imperial Clan, Yun Jinghong struck out with his palm to shatter the mourning hall into broken bits and then burned all white cloth. Then, he asked Lan Chuan to prepare a few spiritual fruits and bottles of Jade Lake spiritual flower wine.

Chu He played the flute, and the rest of them listened and drank, enjoying themselves leisurely.

“Oh, right. Master, where’s Wude?”

After a few cups of wine did Wang Bugui think of such a thing.

Yun Jinghong heard that and dropped down his cup, sighing. “Well, that friend of yours wasn’t easy. To find tombs of immortals, he had suffered and escaped from Death numerous times.

“A few days ago, for some unknown reason, he ran into a devil from the west, and the devil called himself an Infante. After a nasty fight, he finally killed the devil, but he also got seriously injured by the underground restriction formations.

“Zi Yuxiao had brought him to Palace of Purple Clouds to nourish his injuries. He’s fine now.”

The moment he finished those words, the smooth flute sound halted as well. The group of friends looked at each other.

Yun Jinghong said slowly, “Go if you want to see him. Now that I know you’re fine, everything will be OK.”

Wang Bugui rose and bowed to bid his farewell. “Then I’ll be off now. Send a message to me if Master wants me. If I fail to hear you, then tell them.”

Yun Jinghong nodded and then Wang Bugui headed toward the bottom of Purple Waterfall with his companions.

“Splash, splash!…”

Crystal clean Purple Waterfall looked as usual; purple mist flowed around it as if it were a fairyland here. Wang Bugui took out the purple crystal and injected spiritual strength, opening the dimension gate.

“Sister Ziyu!!”

In the quiet Palace of Purple Clouds, the peace and quiet that lasted for a full year was again broken by the familiar sound.

“Tut-tut, I knew it that he didn’t die.”

On the throne, Zi Yuxiao lazily said to herself. However, her tone seemed to carry a trace of happiness as well.

“Hehe! Sister Ziyu, I’m back!”

Wang Bugui was the first to rush into the hall and grinned at the throne.

“I bow in respect before Senior Zi!”

Lyu Hao and Chu He didn’t act that casual. They all knew the power of the peerless Big Capable. Only by her alluring voice could she enchant the world.

This kind of woman didn’t have to possess the great capability.

Zi Yuxiao waved. “You’re his friends. There’s no need for formalities.”

A gentle wind wrapped around them and held them up.

“Sister Ziyu, I was…”

Wang Bugui wanted to ask where Wude was but was interrupted by Zi Yuxiao. She raised her hand and said, “I knew what you came for. Follow me.”

After that, she stepped outside the hall in one step. She gently moved her feet and got ahead them by hundreds of zhang; Wang Bugui and others immediately followed.
