Chapter 2090: Chapter 2090: The Eldest Senior Sister’s Jealousy
The vast Jade Bamboo Mountain is ho only to Haoyue Fairy and her ten disciples.
At the peak of Jade Bamboo Mountain, amidst the bamboo ocean, Haoyue Fairy in a green long skirt and Qingzhu Fairy sit facing each other at a bamboo table in front of a delicate green bamboo building.
Haoyue Fairy has accepted ten disciples. Qingzhu Fairy is the youngest and the most recent to join, yet her talent and cultivation level are the highest among the ten disciples, making her highly valued and loved by Haoyue Fairy.
Two years ago, Haoyue Fairy taught her secret technique, the Pure Heart Pacifying Soul lody, to Qingzhu Fairy, indicating her plans to focus on cultivating Qingzhu Fairy to succeed her in the future.
The other nine disciples of Haoyue Fairy, realizing that their talent is not as good as their younger sister Qingzhu, and that their future achievents in the Immortal Dao cannot compare to Qingzhu, mostly have accepted Qingzhu inheriting their master’s legacy.
Even those one or two who are discontented do not dare to show it under the formidable presence of their master, Haoyue Fairy.
“Qingzhu, the one-year period of your agreent with Fang Bai has arrived. Will he co as promised?”
Haoyue Fairy asks her beloved disciple with a hint of expectation in her eyes.
She had exited seclusion not long ago and learned from her disciple Qingzhu that Fang Bai’s ancestor had deep connections with her master, Fairy Linglong, especially since Fang Bai is also well-versed in the Pure Heart Pacifying Soul lody, which further intrigued her and made her eager to et him soon.
Qingzhu Fairy thought for a mont and said, “After you exited seclusion, I have already sent a ssage to Fang Bai through the ssaging Jade Token. He should be coming after receiving the ssage! I rember when I ntioned our founder Fairy Linglong, he was very emotional, seemingly very concerned about our founder…”
Haoyue Fairy said, “When your founder was alive, she had few friends. Since Fang Bai’s ancestor was well-versed in the Pure Heart Pacifying Soul lody created by your founder, it indicates a deep connection between your founder and Fang Bai’s ancestor. When I see Fang Bai, I must inquire carefully about his ancestor!”
Qingzhu Fairy asked, “Master, do you know the specific location where the founder sealed herself back then? Fang Bai seems very interested in this.”
Haoyue Fairy shook her head and said, “Your founder sealed herself in a hidden place within the Central Heavenly Domain after the tragic fall of her immortal companion, overwheld by grief. She was a generation’s empress, yet she chose to sacrifice herself in this way and sever all ties with the Immortal Realm, which is truly sad and pitiful! I only know the approximate area of her self-sealing, but the specific location remains unknown.”
Pausing, she continued, “Your founder left a ssage back then, instructing not to reveal my identity as her disciple and not to expose myself lightly to avoid being hunted down by the forces of the Eight Great Immortal Emperors like Myriad Sword Immortal Emperor and Dragon Taming Emperor. She also told to gather disciples widely, cultivate diligently, and wait for the right opportunity…”
Qingzhu Fairy was hearing these things for the first ti and felt her master was concealing sothing from her, asking curiously, “What opportunity should be awaited?”
Haoyue Fairy took a deep breath, cald her emotions, and said quietly, “So things… you knowing them now would only be harmful. When your cultivation becos more powerful and you have enough strength to protect yourself, I will tell you everything… For now, just cultivate diligently with your sisters.”
Although Haoyue Fairy did not say much, Qingzhu Fairy could guess so things. Knowing their master kept them hidden on Jade Bamboo Mountain, and specifically ntioned avoiding the forces of the Eight Great Immortal Emperors, she could speculate that their founder and her immortal companion’s death must be related to the Eight Great Immortal Emperors.
Perhaps the “waiting for the right opportunity” ntioned by the master is to accumulate power secretly and eventually seek justice from the Eight Great Immortal Emperors to avenge their master.
Regarding the current Eight Great Immortal Emperors, Qingzhu Fairy did not know much, only understanding they are the most powerful immortals in the nine heavenly domains of the Immortal Realm, with the strongest disciples and the widest connections.
In the Immortal Realm stands an Emperor’s Stele, towering over a thousand feet and entirely snow-white.
On the Emperor’s Stele are the nas and titles of the hundred most powerful Immortal Emperors, and the titles of the Eight Great Immortal Emperors of this age are prominently listed at the forefront.
It is said that a thousand years ago, the top rank on the Emperor’s Stele was not held by any of the Eight Great Immortal Emperors but by an Immortal Emperor titled “War Emperor.”
Unfortunately, the War Emperor later fell for unknown reasons, with his na and title disappearing from the Emperor’s Stele.
Later rumors spread within the Immortal Realm, suggesting that the brilliant War Emperor was too exceptional, invoking envy from the Eight Great Immortal Emperors who jointly caused his fall.
Although these rumors were never confird, the deliberate destruction of the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace founded by the War Emperor by the Eight Great Immortal Emperors offers so credibility.
Qingzhu Fairy did not know the War Emperor’s na but had heard many anecdotes from her master. Each ti she heard them, she couldn’t help but feel a distant longing, regretting she was born a thousand years late and unable to witness his unparalleled spectacle.
As they were talking, a streak of light flew in from the distant sky, landing before them in an instant—it was Fairy Lingyan, Haoyue Fairy’s chief eldest disciple.
“Reporting to Master, I have returned from training!”
After landing, Fairy Lingyan first cupped her fists and saluted her master, then glanced at Qingzhu Fairy, who sat across from the master, with a hint of jealousy in her eyes.
“Lingyan Senior Sister.”
Qingzhu Fairy stood up, smiled, and greeted her.
Fairy Lingyan nodded and said lukewarmly, “Qingzhu Junior Sister, didn’t you go out for training too? When did you co back?”
Qingzhu Fairy said, “I’ve been back for about a year now.”
Fairy Lingyan murmured “Hmm,” and her gaze swept over Qingzhu Fairy, realizing she could no longer discern Qingzhu’s cultivation level, causing her expression to subtly change, blurting out, “Your… your cultivation level… has it reached the Half-Step Heavenly Immortal Realm?”
Before this outside training, she and Qingzhu Fairy were both at the Ninth Grade Earth Immortal Realm cultivation level, assuming she found opportunities that allowed her to advance significantly, thus surpassing the much-favored younger sister Qingzhu. Yet unexpectedly, Qingzhu’s progress exceeded hers, bringing sha and annoyance, with growing jealousy.
She suspected the younger sister’s cultivation level must have reached the Half-Step Heavenly Immortal Realm; otherwise, she wouldn’t be unable to see through it.
Haoyue Fairy, knowing her eldest disciple lacked magnanimity and held grievances over her favoring the younger disciple, glanced at her and said indifferently, “Your sister had great fortune during her outing, and her current cultivation level is at the First Grade Heavenly Immortal Realm!”
“First… Heavenly Immortal Realm…”
Fairy Lingyan’s mind buzzed, her body trembled, her mouth agape and her face full of disbelief.
She knew the imnse gulf between the Earth Immortal Realm and the Heavenly Immortal Realm, with the powers of immortals in each realm being incomparable.
Originally, she had the ambition to compete with the younger sister, but now she was nearly in despair.
