Chapter 2476 - 2474: Arranging Family Matters
After the Heavenly Court was established, there were visits from True Immortal disciples and even Emperor Shi Tian to disrupt.
Although Long Fei ultimately repelled them, there was always a knot in everyone’s heart, fearing that in Long Fei’s absence, the Heavenly Court could not withstand powerful attacks.
Now Lin Yingying has ascended to immortality, and the good news announced by Long Fei brought immense encouragement to all the disciples.
They all raised their glasses in celebration for Lin Yingying.
Firstly, everyone confirmed that immortality was indeed attainable in the Human Realm at present.
Secondly, with Lin Yingying as a resident True Immortal, everyone felt a bit more secure.
As the banquet was about to end, Lin Yingying had Hua Qianmo bring over the score list from the Heavenly Court and rewarded them with over ten True Immortal Swords from her Storage Ring.
He personally bestowed the swords upon these disciples and encouraged them.
The disciples outside were in high spirits, staring enviously at these chosen ones.
These disciples did not possess exceptionally high cultivation levels, just that they frequently worked for the Heavenly Court, accumulating many points.
However, each of them received a True Immortal Sword, igniting a fervor in everyone.
Long Fei raised his glass to congratulate these disciples while advising those outside, saying, "Don’t rush; there will be True Immortal Swords for everyone. Our number of True Immortals in the Heavenly Court will continue to increase. As we grow stronger, the fortunes of the Human Realm will flourish. When faced with powerful enemies, fear will no longer be our companion. No matter the might of the opposing forces, they will not compel us to yield."
"Victory to the Heavenly Court!"
A disciple led the call with raised arms.
"Victory to the Heavenly Court!"
"Victory to the Heavenly Court!"
"Victory to the Heavenly Court!"
In an instant, the cries spread far and wide.
Everyone was filled with excitement and confidence for the future, dispelling past gloom in one sweep.
After the banquet, Long Fei called Hua Qianmo and his group over.
Everyone knew that each time Long Fei returned, he brought them good treasures, and this time would certainly be no exception.
A group of women happily murmured nonstop, one by one taking seats outside Long Fei’s bamboo forest courtyard.
Long Fei, accompanied by Lin Yingying, took a seat on the bamboo chairs outside the courtyard.
One after another, they grinned at him, calling out anxiously, "Brother Long, do you have something good for us?"
The women giggled, as they always preferred calling him Brother Long when no one was around.
Long Fei smiled at them and produced the seeds of Chaos Green Lotus, handing them over, saying, "Keep these well, nurture them with Spiritual Energy daily, and when they bloom, they will become defense artifacts for you."
Everyone received the seeds, lifting them up to take a closer look.
Hua Qianmo exclaimed with surprise, "Are these seeds from the Green Lotus you rode during your battle with Emperor Shi Tian?"
"You have quite the keen eye."
Long Fei nodded and sip some tea casually, "These are seeds of the Innate Primordial Azure Lotus. After it was reborn, it produced 108 seeds. You are fortunate; take one each!"
They laughed gleefully, knowing the preciousness of these items, feeling grateful that Long Fei remembered them.
Out of merely 108 seeds, they each received one.
"Thank you, Brother Long!"
Led by Hua Qianmo, they all clasped their fists in salute to Long Fei.
Long Fei smiled at them, saying, "You have contributed to the protection of the Heavenly Court, hence you deserve these. Just don’t go flaunting them everywhere afterward, lest other disciples envy you. I don’t have that many treasures to share around."
"Understood!"
They nodded with smiles, their eyes narrowing in joy.
Long Fei specially asked Shen Yan’er, "Yan’er, I heard the Ancestor of Mount Shu is descending to enlighten disciples to ascend to the Superior Immortal Realm; did your elder brother Shen Feng go?"
Shen Feng has always made it his mission to revive Mount Shu, and although he has been serving in the Heavenly Court in recent years, he retains the title of a Disciple of Mount Shu.
Shen Yan’er informed Long Fei, "To answer Brother Long, my brother was favored by Sect Leader Qi Shuming and indeed ascended to the Immortal Realm with them."
She expressed some embarrassment, "My brother has had misunderstandings with Brother Long in the past, but he let go of them long ago and told me to convey to Brother Long that he no longer blames you for destroying Mount Shu."
Long Fei nodded, "Your brother is blessed with good fortune; it’s unsurprising. You should cultivate well, and in fifty thousand years, you’ll have the chance to see him again."
"Understood!"
Shen Yan’er sighed with relief, fearing Long Fei would be angry with her brother for leaving with Mount Shu.
She knew that during the time at Tianshu Star, Long Fei had many disagreements with Mount Shu.
Su Yiyi said to Long Fei, "Sister Chang Xi from the Moon Palace on Immortal King Star, Master Wu Xingyun and Senior Sister Ye Qingcheng from Yaochi Sacred Land were similarly enlightened by sects from the Immortal Realm."
Lin Yingying commented, "The Immortal Realm has far-reaching intentions. This time they’re either trying to poach all our Human Realm talents or divert the calamity to us."
Long Fei said lightly, "Saints conceal their intentions, and great thieves are undeterred. Some below act for selfish reasons, attempting to redirect misfortune. We can approach them as they approach us. Who’s a pawn, and who will have the last laugh, is still uncertain."
They exchanged glances among themselves, saying to Long Fei, "Brother Long, are you going to take us to the Immortal Realm as well?"
Long Fei chuckled, "You should stay obediently in the Heavenly Court, keeping the Human Realm safe. In terms of Spiritual Energy, the Heavenly Court isn’t far behind the Immortal Realm—it’s the same to cultivate here."
One by one, they dropped their heads, each naturally yearning for the Immortal Realm.
Five thousand years passed, and the barrier between the Celestial Realm and the Human Realm gradually loosened.
Sect from the Immortal Realm were able to descend to enlighten disciples, making the Immortal Realm seem right around the corner, kindling a yearning in everyone’s hearts.
Lin Yingying smiled at them, saying, "What’s the hurry? I’ll stay behind this time to accompany you. Being together is lively, and let your Brother Long go and venture in the Immortal Realm alone!"
"Got it!"
They nodded with smiles, understanding that Lin Yingying stayed back to protect the Heavenly Court.
Currently, the two strongest in the Heavenly Court, aside from Long Fei, are Lin Yingying.
After the women left, Long Fei had Lin Yingying bring out the Void Mirror, planning to reach out to his son in the Immortal Realm.
He no longer needed planets as energy sources; his Chaos Green Lotus could directly activate the Void Mirror.
The Mystic Patterns on the bronze mirror lit up continuously, soon revealing the image of Long Yuanchu.
He still looked like a child, holding a longsword taller than himself and with a Jade Ruyi overhead, entangled with a Black Robe Daoist.
The picture shook, and below the Jade Ruyi was Chu Feng and his group.
They joined forces to deal with the Black Robe Daoist, not easily.
Lin Yingying called out anxiously, "Are they in danger?"
Long Fei fixed his eyes on the Black Robe Daoist, a tinge of murderous intent flashed across his face, "He has quite the nerve to harass my son in the Immortal Realm."
"Who is he?"
Lin Yingying squinted at the shaken image, unable to discern the shadow’s figure.
Long Fei explained, "Mosquito Daoist, conceived in the Nether River after the world opened up, later surged in strength after biting Amitabha’s Third Grade Golden Lotus, and is not weaker than a Golden Immortal."
"So powerful?"
Lin Yingying felt a bit of concern, but seeing her son protected by the Three-Treasure Jade Ruyi, she seemed reassured.
Her son wielded a longsword while shouting at Mosquito Daoist, "Pesky mosquito, you’ve chased me for thirty thousand miles, won’t you ever stop? Once I reach the Jade Palace and find my second mother, I shall force you to wear a mask and shred you into pieces!"
