My Dreams Connect to Ancient Times

Enhanced by the Profound Mysteries of the Daoist Temple, the ancient figure appeared exceptionally majestic. He strolled along a quiet, secluded path, his palm gently stroking the Big Black Bull beside him.

Lu Xuan calmly asked:

"Speaking of which, where’s the other dog?"

Beside him, Yang Erlang spoke reservedly:

"To answer your question, Martial Uncle, I’ve taken on a young disciple who is currently wandering the Red Dust. I had the Heaven-Barking Dog go and protect them in secret."

As he spoke, he glanced cautiously at the young man beside him, smiling wryly to himself.

Yang Jian was a man who feared neither heaven nor earth. He had faced Emperors and Buddhas, even the Celestial Emperor himself, but he had never felt like this.

But...

This Supreme Profound Clarity before him cast too great a shadow over his heart.

That alone would have been one thing, but what confused and terrified him most was that this Martial Uncle was both the "Calamity" of the Taishang Lineage and the most mysterious of the thirteen Immortals of the Jade Void Lineage...

’This makes no sense. How could Primordial Ancestor and Supreme Ancestor possibly accept the same disciple?’

While Yang Jian’s thoughts ran wild,

Lu Xuan nodded slightly. He walked to the door of the wooden cabin, but instead of pushing it open, he glanced to the side and asked,

"By the way, is there any way for me to leave the Sanqing Temple? I possess the Human Saint Position, which exceeds the current limits of what the Great Heaven and Earth can contain. But just waiting in the Daoist Temple until those limits are raised isn’t a viable solution."

The few Ancient Immortals looked at each other. After a moment, Nezha said hesitantly:

"How about... how about you try using an avatar, Martial Uncle? To walk the Human World as an avatar?"

"Useless." Lu Xuan shook his head. "The Human Saint Position is a status within the Great Heaven and Earth. Wherever my Spiritual Will is, so too is the Human Saint Position. It has nothing to do with the physical vessel. Even an avatar would possess this same power."

The few Ancient Immortals looked at each other again.

Li Changgeng let out a breath and said softly:

"Then I’m afraid there’s no way, unless... unless you know a certain Supreme Skill of the one from Douluo Palace. That might work."

"Oh?"

Lu Xuan’s interest was piqued. He glanced over and asked:

"What kind of Skill is it?"

"It’s called One Qi Transforms into the Three Pristine Ones. It’s said to have a power that is profound beyond Profound Mysteries. During the great calamity that severed the flow of Years, it was once..."

Li Changgeng had barely begun to speak when the heavens changed. Wind and thunder roared in unison, and the world erupted with killing intent. Then, a torrent of calamity surged from the void, rushing toward him!

Lu Xuan frowned. His crystalline, jade-like palm turned over, and the Ancient Tree Branch he had named the God-Beating Whip appeared. Streaks of black Emperor’s Blood flowed upon it, cascading a celestial radiance across the sky.

The God-Beating Whip swung lightly, drawing a boundary in front of the pale-faced Li Changgeng. It was accompanied by a soft rebuke:

"Let no calamity touch, no disaster approach, and no misfortune befall the beings under my protection. Begone."

And then, the sky-filling killing intent and the many formless calamities all receded like a tide. With one pull, they fell back three thousand li, and with the next, they vanished without a trace.

The expressions of the few Ancient Immortals turned solemn. Although it wasn’t the first time they had witnessed the Profound Mysteries of a Human Saint, they were still amazed by it.

A single sentence, like a Decree from heaven and earth, commanding All Skills and Dharma Aspects to follow. Such power...

’No wonder even a complete mortal who obtains the Human Saint Position is powerful enough to contend with the Immortals!’

Li Changgeng wiped the sweat from his brow and said with a wry smile:

"My apologies, I’d forgotten. That calamity cannot be spoken of; it holds a great terror... I hope Supreme Venerable will forgive my transgression."

"It’s no matter."

Lu Xuan smiled calmly.

"One Qi Transforms into the Three Pristine Ones, you say? Alright. I’ll go ask my teacher about it later."

As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed the door open and entered. The few Ancient Immortals followed him in, but they all froze the moment their feet crossed the threshold.

’Wait, did he just say...’

’He’ll go ask his teacher later?’

A chill ran down the Ancient Immortals’ spines simultaneously. Their barely calmed minds were once again thrown into tumultuous waves!

Li Changgeng swallowed hard, the back of his neck tingling numbly. He stood there in a daze, as did the other Ancient Immortals and the Big Black Bull. A cold dread filled them all.

Meanwhile, Xiaoyan and Chong Shanhu, who were inside the cabin, both stood up. The former’s eyes curved into crescents as she smiled, while the latter respectfully bowed his head.

Lu Xuan walked closer, gently stroked Xiaoyan’s long, black hair, and said with a warm smile:

"I need to make a trip to Gouxian Town first to see a certain being. After that, I should pay a visit to Dragon Tiger Mountain... Do you want to come with me?"

"Yes!" Xiaoyan nodded emphatically, her big, watery eyes blinking.

"I’ve always wanted to see Dragon Tiger Mountain, but I never had the chance before..."

"Then I’ll take you with me." Lu Xuan pinched Xiaoyan’s chubby cheek, which felt as fine and smooth as soft jade.

After a pause, he added with another smile:

"By the way, we’ll have to visit Uncle Yan a bit later... The Great Wall should be starting its war preparations. To repel foreign threats, one must first secure the interior. I’ll probably have a lot to deal with soon."

Although Yan Jiangxue didn’t understand, she still smiled softly, her eyes sparkling:

"Mhm! There’s no need to rush. Taking things slowly is never a mistake."

"Okay."

After replying earnestly, Lu Xuan turned to Chong Shanhu and said slowly:

"Shan Hu, you may return for now. After three months, I will personally come find you to perform your capping ceremony and bestow upon you a title."

"Yes, Master!"

Chong Shanhu hurriedly bowed. After comprehending the memories of his past life, he had shed his youthful immaturity and had clearly become much more composed. He asked softly:

"Master, are the ancestors of our lineage... those three?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the three giant bronze statues placed up high. The few Ancient Immortals who had just entered the room subconsciously glanced over, their expressions changing drastically.

Xiaoyan also looked over curiously and said:

"Are those The Three Pristine Ones? If I remember correctly, they are Supreme Profound Clarity, Yuqing Fusheng, and Shangqing Profound Yellow..."

She paused, then frowned and said:

"Why can’t I see their faces clearly?"
