Chapter 201 - 200 Yellow Court Palace
Heng Mountain’s Yellow Court Palace wasn’t originally one of the nine major sects, nor was it any kind of treasured paradise. It was simply that there was a spring nearby at the foot of the mountain, and the scenery was decent, so a female layman, who had left home with her hair down, built a hut to meditate and seek the Dao, creating her own inheritance.
This layman was originally from the Three Constellations Immortal Gate, a scholarly and official family. In her youth, she was well-versed in the Daoist Collection and supposedly had a dream where a Kunlun Immortal enlightened her, granting her four volumes of the Heavenly Book. Since then, her appearance remained youthful, and time seemed to have no hold on her, making her deeply pursue the art of Immortals.
However, since her father had reached the position of one of the Three Ministers, appointed as the Minister of Works, he could not allow his daughter to embrace the Demon Path. Thus, she was forced by her parents to marry, momentarily breaking her Immortal Fate. After marriage, she often read scriptures in the Orchid Platform, and after the disaster involving the Immortal Palace’s witchcraft, her family fell, with her father, brothers, sons, and grandsons perishing in the turmoil. She severed worldly ties and secluded herself at the foot of Heng Mountain.
To everyone’s surprise, she possessed a rare genius with deep Immortal affinity. Day and night, she observed the Mystic Sect Daoism of Heng Mountain’s five peaks and listened to the True Inheritance at the foot of the mountain, reciting the Yellow Court silently. She managed to self-teach, comprehending the Yellow Court Scripture, allowing her to refine Qi and transform into God, achieving Nascent Soul.
Such astonishing talent left the Mystic Sect in awe, and even the Southern Country Immortal Palace, upon hearing of this event, bestowed Immortal Record honors, listing her name on the Divine List, naming her the Yellow Court Palace Master, and inviting her as the Purple Void Master, the ruler of Heng Mountain.
The Immortal Palace couldn’t govern the Mystic Sect’s territory, which clearly harbored many delicate thoughts, but the Purple Void Master was a genuine secluded Cultivator, uninterested in fame and fortune. Practicing purity and nonexistence, she embraced the Hidden Immortal lifestyle, seeking enlightenment with all her heart, thus drawing closer to the Mystic Sect.
Moreover, the Mystic Sect lacked methods for female cultivation, making them curious about the Daoist Skills she comprehended. Therefore, Shangqing Dao conveniently recognized her as a registered disciple, and many female cultivators from the Mystic Sect befriended her, forming sworn sisterhoods, or engaging in discussion and sharing true teachings with her, exchanging them for the Daoist Collection in the Orchid Platform, and straightforwardly practiced together in Yellow Court Palace, advancing the method for female cultivation.
With such an Immortal Fate and talent, and receiving the True Inheritance of the Mystic Sect, given time, the Purple Void Master is destined to achieve immortality and attain Dao.
However, ten years ago, a meteor fell, wreaking havoc in the Star Palace. Since then, Heavenly Demons emerged, causing celestial collapse, and even the Southern Country saw many demon-sealing temples collapse, releasing demons who wreaked havoc among the people.
Some obtained the legacy of a Demon Sect, calling themselves Supreme Bliss, founding the Blissful Leisure Palace, and specifically opposing the Mystic Sect, causing countless harm by attacking Mystic Sect’s Immortal Manors and secluding families, proclaiming to avenge the Xiaoyao Sect when in fact they plundered, killed, and raped, harming countless people.
