Chapter 458: Entering Green Touring Palace

Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon

Qin Yun’s family of three were happily chatting by the lake now that they were finally together .

But they soon found themselves entertaining others when a cloud flew over from the distance . On it were Daoist Divine Firmament and Patriarch Bai .

“Oh?” Qin Yun looked up .

The fat Patriarch Bai looked over from afar as his eyes lit up . He could clearly see that Qin Yun had already attained the Essence Soul realm . He laughed boisterously from midair . “Hahaha, Brother Qin Yun, congratulations . You have finally condensed an Essence Soul . “

He and Daoist Divine Firmament landed together .

“Congratulations!” Daoist Divine Firmament said with a smile as well . “Since you have condensed an Essence Soul, it appears you have successfully created a Sword Immortal Dharmic formulation . “

“I was only able to save my daughter because I successfully created the Dharmic formulation . ” Qin Yun smiled as he said to his daughter, “Yiyi, quick greet Senior Bai and Senior Zhang . “

Yiyi immediately bowed . “Greetings Senior Bai and Senior Zhang, I’m Qin Yiyi . I have long heard from my father about the two Skyimmortals of my homeworld, the Great Chang world . “

“I can’t compare with the two of them . They are both elite figures of the Three Realms,” Patriarch Bai said with a smile .

Daoist Divine Firmament smiled helplessly before he looked at Qin Yun . “Qin Yun, since you successfully created a Dharmic formulation, did the Dao Ancestor take you in as a disciple? If he hasn’t, I can report this matter to Master for you . “

“Senior Brother Yellow-robed has already reported it . The Dao Ancestor descended right after and took me in as a disciple on the spot,” said Qin Yun .

Daoist Divine Firmament understood .

“Impressive . ” Patriarch Bai gave his envious praise .

“What is the Dao Ancestor like?” Yi Xiao asked out of curiosity .

“Mom, I was beside Dad when the Dao Ancestor descended,” said Qin Yiyi . “He looks rather amiable and did not seem to emit even the slightest pressure . But he also felt… extremely distant, like it’s impossible to touch him . “

“Back when the Dao Ancestor descended as an avatar, I had the chance to listen to him preach the Dao,” said Patriarch Bai with a sigh . “Just seeing him is truly an unforgettable experience . “

“Master is rather attentive to every disciple,” said Daoist Divine Firmament as he looked at Qin Yun . “Qin Yun, since Master has taken you in as a disciple, you should head for Green Touring Palace as soon as possible . “

“Yes . I just brought Yiyi back . I plan on heading to Green Touring Palace immediately . ” Qin Yun nodded .

“Remember,” Daoist Divine Firmament said solemnly, “Your initial meeting with Master at Green Touring Palace is the first and only time Master will preach the Dao to you on a one-on-one basis! You have to cherish this singular opportunity . If there’s anything you aren’t certain of, make sure to ask! After this opportunity, you will probably not have another chance to hear the Dao personally unless you can become a Golden Immortal . “

“The personal preaching of the Dao only happens once?” Qin Yun was puzzled .

“Just once!”

Daoist Divine Firmament nodded to emphasize the point . “Master has many disciples . Other than his most beloved disciples, the rest are treated equally . “

“However, for one of the Daoism’s Three Pure Ones to personally preach the Dao to you in detail is a dream come true for any cultivator, even if it is just once,” said Daoist Divine Firmament with a smile . “Besides, there are many other opportunities available in Green Touring Palace . The achievements of a disciple will rely on their own skills . “

“There are tens of thousands of Green Touring Palace disciples . Though they share the same master, these disciples vary greatly in strength . The weak ones are only third firmament Skyimmortals . The strong ones are in no way lacking even when compared to Almighty Gods Gonggong or Zhurong . There are even some who dare to spar with the Dao or Buddhist Ancestors and manage to escape with their lives,” said Daoist Divine Firmament wistfully .

Qin Yun was rather alarmed hearing this story .

Although he knew little of the legends of the Three Realms, he did know that there were a few existences that were only second to the Dao and Buddhist Ancestors in the Three Realms . For example, the Almighty Gods Zhurong, Gonggong, or the Ancestral Dragon . In the Ancestral Dragon’s case, he was originally a Chaos Godfiend . He had established the dragon lineage and became the Dragon race’s first ancestor . It was a testament to its powerful bloodline .

And yet among the Green Touring Palace disciples, there were apparently some who could match Almighty Gods Gongong and Zhurong .

“I wonder how far my cultivation can go in the future,” thought Qin Yun .

…

Qin Yun stuck around to chat a little longer .

“It’s about time,” he said as he got up . “Yiyi, I know you just came back but I have to head for Green Touring Palace now . “

“Dad, don’t mind us . Mom and I have lots to talk about,” Qin Yiyi said . After reuniting with her parents, she decided to take on the name ‘Qin Yiyi . ‘

“Go ahead . The both of us are in no rush,” said Yi Xiao with a smile . Her husband was heading to Green Touring Palace for cultivation . She was happy for her husband, and proud that he acquired such a rare opportunity .

“I see . ” Qin Yun nodded .

“My second Essence Soul is cultivating in the Myriad Dharma Pool . I won’t be able to receive you . ” Daoist Divine Firmament looked at Qin Yun . “However, Master should have arranged for a Dao Child to greet you . Everything will be arranged nicely for you . “

“I’ll be leaving first, then . “

Qin Yun infused his Dharmic powers into the disciple mark in his palm . He could sense a distant spot .

He triggered it .

The Green Touring Palace immediately sent down its powers .

A blurry light enveloped Qin Yun as he gave his family one last smile before vanishing .

“Green Touring Palace . ” Patriarch Bai sighed as he watched this scene . “Just think, Brother Qin Yun was once an itinerant cultivator . Now that he has entered the Green Touring Palace, he will likely soar from this moment forth . “

Daoist Divine Firmament smiled while stroking his beard . “Green Touring Palace only provides the opportunity . What one attains in the future depends on how they use it . “

******

Having activated the disciple mark, Qin Yun could sense a wave from infinite space envelop him .

“Whoosh . “

He was instantly teleported .

When he could see an actual world again, he found himself on a mysterious ground with a lingering white fog around him . There were contiguous complexes all around and the most opulent palace he had ever seen… he had sensed this all through his disciple mark earlier but seeing it was different . On the palace doors were the huge words ‘Green Touring Palace . ‘

“Are you Senior Brother Qin Yun?” A Dao Child came forward to receive him with a smile .

“Yes . ” Qin Yun looked at the Dao Child . He did not look human nor was he a demon . He actually resembled a Guardian General or Yellow-scarved Strongman .

“Senior Brother, please follow me,” said the Dao Child with a smile . “I’ll bring you to meet Master . “

“Sorry for troubling you . “

Qin Yun followed the Dao Child .

The Dao residence transcended the ordinary space-time of the Three Realms . Even mighty figures like Golden Immortals and Buddhas could not find it . Only people permitted by Numinous Treasure Dao Ancestor could enter!

“Haha, Junior Brother . Have a taste of my Dharma treasure!”

“I have cultivated in thirteen Dharma spells . Senior Brother, you have not been able to crack even half of them . ” A human and demon were sparring a distance away . There were other fellow disciples watching by the side as well .

The might produced by their exchange was stunning . Their strength was beyond even Wuli Jiushou .

Qin Yun estimated them to have strength at the eighth or ninth Skyimmortal realm .

“There are quite a number of disciples that stay here in Green Touring Palace frequently . After all, this area has many places that are suitable for cultivation . There are also countless manuals that can be read at any time,” explained the Dao Child with a smile . “Usually, the disciples will have Dao exchanges and sparring matches . “

“I see . ” Qin Yun nodded .

The disciples had also noticed Qin Yun .

“He seems to be new . “

“Who is he?”

“No idea . “

The disciples discussed among themselves but none of them knew about Qin Yun .

Moments later .

The Dao Child brought Qin Yun to Green Touring Palace’s main palace .

“Senior Brother, please follow me in . ” Qin Yun followed behind the Dao Child .

The main palace was wide like the starry cosmos . Its ends were hardly discernible .

A black-haired elder sat cross-legged on a floating cloud . His aura was mighty and, unlike his avatar, his true body made Qin Yun feel like he was standing in the full light of a burning sun that emitted boundless rays . Even if his aura had been converged, the natural aura that existed left Qin Yun stifled by the disparity that stemmed from life’s natural order .

“Master, Qin Yun is here . ” The Dao Child bowed politely . Numinous Treasure Dao Ancestor nodded gently as the Dao Child took his leave .

“Greetings Master . ” Qin Yun said with a kneel .

“Stand up,” said Numinous Treasure Dao Ancestor with a smile .

Qin Yun stood up .

“You cultivate in the Sword Dao and you created a brand new sword immortal lineage . Your lineage is still very weak, as you only just created it up to the Essence Soul realm . I hope the lineage you create can exceed the Grand Supreme sword immortal lineage in the future,” said Numinous Treasure Dao Ancestor .

“I will do my best,” said Qin Yun politely . He knew that such a goal was extremely far-reaching .

The Grand Supreme sword immortal lineage had two Golden Immortal realm sword immortals who had forged a name for themselves .

In contrast, he had only just barely created an Essence Soul Dharmic formulation .

“These are just my hopes for you . How far you can go is up to you,” said Numinous Treasure Dao Ancestor . “Now, I will showcase the Sword Dao to you . How much you understand and remember will depend on your perceptivity . “

“Yes . ” Qin Yun focused his eyes .
