Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar Chapter 704 481: Visit to Patriarch Hong [Daily]2

Hong Yuan's eyes crinkled in a smile as he watched the exquisite figures of Lin Yiru and Mo Yue'er depart.

He was very satisfied with the current state of their nurturing, filled with a profound sense of accomplishnt.

He had not let down the expectations of his Master, Zhu Wushang, and others, having raised both won well. Even if his Master and Zhu Wushang were alive, they likely couldn't compare to him, Hong Yuan.

Unknowingly, Hong Yuan had gained a great deal of insight into nurturing children and disciples, an unexpected windfall indeed.

Hong Yuan chuckled softly, lifted his footsteps, and left the Peak Master Great Hall as well.

His destination was the Gui Xue Cave Heaven!

Speaking of which, it had been many days since he last visited his Master's and Zhu Wushang's burial ground, and it was ti to share his achievents with them.

「...」

Gui Xue Cave Heaven was one of the few Cave Heaven small worlds within Phoenix Creek Sect where a multitude of the sect's martyrs lay entombed. It was a place where only those who had made great contributions to Phoenix Creek Sect could be buried.

Usually, those enshrined here were mostly Supre Elders who had advanced to the Saint Realm!

To know that one could be interred in Gui Xue Cave Heaven was to secure a permanent bond between one's lineage and Phoenix Creek Sect.

The sect's preservation was the family's continuance—a most significant honor!

The reason why Hong Yuan's Master Lin Daoyan and Zhu Wushang could be granted an exception to be buried here lay in Hong Yuan's extraordinary achievents.

Without Hong Yuan, the Phoenix Creek Sect's Tao Heritage might have been devastated by those from the Great Dream Seed long ago.

This was one of the main reasons why the Lin Family and Zhu Family were the objects of so much envy and resentnt.

Though Hong Yuan never actively offered gifts, the re influence of his status alone brought untold wealth and honor to both the Lin Family and Zhu Family!

Of course, for the departed to be buried in the Gui Xue Cave Heaven was an honor.

But for the living, entering the Gui Xue Cave Heaven to guard their ancestors' tombs was tantamount to entering a prison, making cultivation exceedingly hard.

Because Gui Xue Cave Heaven was cold, too cold!

Light snow fluttered down.

Cold Wind sighed.

In the frosty crystal burial ground stood two towering gravestones. In a corner of the burial ground, there was a warm little tile-roofed house emitting a glow of firelight.

[My Revered Master Lin Daoyan…]

[My Elder Brother Zhu Wushang…]

At this mont, Hong Yuan stood alone before the gravestones of his Master Lin Daoyan and Zhu Wushang. Unbothered by the snow on the ground, he sat right down.

He was silent, gently caressing the two gravestones.

In his mind swirled many matters: the tales of the Human Race Destiny struggle, Phoenix Creek Sect's changes over the years, the death of Hua nghuang, and the impressive achievents of Lin Yiru and Mo Yue'er.

A soft, complex sound escaped him as his expression shifted between joy and sorrow, ever-changing.

Whether he was playing a full act or genuinely expressing his feelings, scheming alone for the position of Dream Tao Master, the pressure Hong Yuan endured was indeed imnse. His composure didn't an the pressure was nonexistent.

He was, after all, making an enemy of the Heavenly Palace, and even of all the Great Emperors of the Human Race—a single misstep could turn him to ashes.

But there was no other way. Both his Demon Clan Destiny and his identity as an Extraterrestrial Demon dood him to a life where he couldn't cultivate peacefully in seclusion. Most importantly, Hong Yuan didn't want the Human Race Sky Palace to hold the initiative.

That was why he had laid various sches and planned patiently. Fortunately, he had achieved initial success.

Hong Yuan was very content with his current situation.

He stood on utterly invincible ground, no longer vulnerable to the storms of before, and could calmly plot his path to becoming a Great Emperor, and even the Path of Immortality. Therefore, great joy filled his heart.

This joy was imnse, and he longed to share it with soone.

But in this vast world, how many could share this joy with him? Only he himself, and he was unwilling to tell others the reason for his happiness.

That was why he had co to the gravestones of his Master and Zhu Wushang, to properly calm his heart.

Here, he could always recall the days when he was just a minor first-rank Artifact Refiner, progressing cautiously step by step. It was very helpful for dispelling the pride that threatened to overwhelm him!

Steady progress, one step at a ti…

Steady progress, one step at a ti…

In the end, Hong Yuan collected his thoughts, repeatedly murmuring his strategic approach to developnt.

Right now, he had only achieved a preliminary victory.

His Demonic Body had not yet attained the status of Food Tao Master, reached alternative Tao Achievent, or beco a Perfect True Dragon.

Although his Original Body had attained the status of Dream Tao Master, his cultivation was still at the sixth-rank; he had a long, long way to go to reach the Great Emperor realm or the Path of Immortality.

Facing a behemoth like the Human Race Sky Palace, he absolutely could not afford to be careless.

Hong Yuan slowly exhaled, his dark daoist robes fluttering gently in the Cold Wind.

「A quarter of an hour later.」

Hong Yuan's ears twitched, and he glanced sideways at the warm little house at the far end of the cold cetery.

There was the abode of the tomb's guardian.

Because the gravestone courtyard was reinforced by the power of Gui Xue Cave Heaven, making it near indestructible, there were no worries about graves being desecrated.

Furthermore, cultivation in Gui Xue Cave Heaven was arduous, and its environnt far inferior to the Secret Realms of the outside world.

Consequently, those tasked with guarding the ancestral tombs were often individuals who had beco disheartened within their own families!

"Alas."

"Why is raising these Worms so troubleso?"

"At this rate, I have no idea when I'll reach Slave Array Confluence."

"If I don't secure a top-three spot in the family competition at the end of the year, forget about adding Mother's na to the family register. Even my own future cultivation will beco a huge problem!"
