第五卷 天云十二州 第一千三百七十五章 长老尊荣

Three days passed in a blink.

Although it could be said that some preparations had been made, the Heavenly Sea Pavilion, as one of the Five Great Forces in Cloud Province, was deeply rooted. Moreover, with the meticulous attention to detail from the female disciples, Lin Xuan's initiation ceremony proceeded as scheduled despite his repeated insistence on keeping things simple.

Even though Lin Xuan had expressed that he preferred a quiet affair, the disciples below could not afford to be careless. The grandeur of the event was breathtaking; the entire Isle of Immortals was shrouded in rosy light. Despite it being late autumn, flowers were in full bloom—a testament to the wonders created by immortal techniques.

Beautiful women sang and celestial birds danced, making the Heavenly Sea Pavilion a true paradise on earth.

On Phoenix Peak, within the Ice God Temple, the scene was lively with singing and dancing. However, the atmosphere was solemn and dignified as over one hundred high-ranking cultivators of the Core Formation stage gathered here. Truly, the Heavenly Sea Pavilion had been bustling since the closure of the life-and-death gate; only a few elders were spared from disturbance.

Everyone stood respectfully, with only three seated: Lin Xuan, Meng Rouyan, and Yue'er.

The ceremony was grand and solemn, led by Su Jinchun and two other high-ranking cultivators. Each woman approached Lin Xuan and Yue'er to offer wine, addressing them as Senior Aunts.

Lin Xuan's face wore a smile; three hundred years had passed like a dream. He never imagined that he would reach such a glorious moment after enduring countless hardships and taunts from others when he first entered the Drifting Cloud Valley.

Not only were Core Formation cultivators now addressing him as Senior, but their respect was genuine and heartfelt.

Lin Xuan exhaled deeply, releasing the accumulated turbid air. Three hundred years of trials had made every hardship worthwhile.

However, Lin Xuan did not allow himself to be overly proud. The path to immortality was long and arduous; he had only just begun his fifth stage of cultivation. Yet, the journey ahead would become increasingly challenging.

Despite the weighty process, no external cultivators were invited to witness the ceremony, making it last merely two hours.

After the disciples finished their toasts, Lin Xuan gave some encouraging words before leading Yue'er away gracefully. The celebration plans for the Heavenly Sea Pavilion afterward were none of his concern.

In the Five Elements Flower Valley,

This was where the five elemental spirit veins converged, making the air thick with spiritual energy but chaotic. Cultivating here could easily lead to missteps.

For millions of years, this valley lay abandoned. However, recently, Elder Lin had chosen it as a new abode for the two Supreme Elders, bringing life back to the area.

Zhang Yu was a mid-stage Condensation Core cultivator. Generally, such cultivators did not need to handle menial tasks. But three days ago, she was tasked with preparing the abodes for the two Supreme Elders.

Diligently, Zhang Yu led several Foundation Establishment stage cultivators into the Five Elements Flower Valley. The task of an Immortal Realm cultivator's residence could not be taken lightly; every detail needed to be meticulously crafted.

If one were favored by the Ancestor and received a few pointers, it would be invaluable.

Zhang Yu waved her jade hand, manipulating a celestial sword to finalize the exterior decorations. A distant flash of green light signaled an approaching figure at breakneck speed.

Its speed was astonishing; almost as fast as teleportation.

"Salute my ancestor."

Despite Lin Xuan's aura not yet being fully revealed, lower cultivators still felt suffocating in his presence. Zhang Yu bowed gracefully and respectfully greeted him.

"How is the abode progressing?" Lin Xuan asked without surprise or excitement.

"I report to you, Ancestor. As per your instructions, it has been prepared. I am unsure if it meets your approval; please let me know if any improvements are needed," Zhang Yu said with a pleading smile on her face.

"Very well."

Lin Xuan nodded and closed his eyes, extending his divine sense. The disciples around him anxiously watched his expression.

Soon, Lin Xuan raised his head, showing a strange look.

"What is it, Ancestor? Is there something wrong?" Zhang Yu's heart skipped a beat as she cautiously asked.

"It’s fine; it’s excellent. You may retire," Lin Xuan said unexpectedly, placing his hand on his forehead.

"Yes, Ancestor."

Though the other women were puzzled, they did not dare to ask any questions. They bowed and left respectfully.

Lin Xuan shook his head and stepped into the valley.

This abode was not merely satisfactory; it was overly grand and luxurious.

Since embarking on the path of cultivation, Lin Xuan had long been accustomed to a simple life. The abode only needed to be functional for practice and residence. However, times had changed. Lin Xuan was no longer just an independent cultivator. As a Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Sea Pavilion, he held a prestigious position in the mortal world, one of the top experts.

Given his new status, he deserved different amenities.

What appeared before him was more like a miniature palace than a simple abode. The mountain interior had been hollowed out and constructed with beautiful jade and crystal. The architecture resembled ajade pavilions and jade palaces (jade pavilions), and the Five Elements Flower Valley had been refurbished. The scenery was already picturesque, but now a small lake had been created at the front, surrounded by lush bamboo, green grass, and various exotic plants, making it resemble an earthly paradise.

"Master, being the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Sea Pavilion seems quite rewarding."

A flash of white light revealed Yue'er beside him. Despite her ability to endure hardships, girls always appreciated beauty. The sight before her made Yue'er's beautiful eyes gleam with joy.

"After three hundred years of cultivation, we have finally achieved our goals in the mortal world, but we cannot be complacent. We won't remain here forever," Lin Xuan said slowly.

"Your lady knows this; I leave all decisions to you, Master."

Yue'er smoothed her hair, speaking softly and gently.

No matter his stage of cultivation, Yue'er was always that obedient and adorable little girl in front of him.

With such a wife, what more could one desire?

Lin Xuan and Yue'er entered their new abode. The training room, the alchemy chamber, the herb garden—all were impressive, but the bedroom was particularly warm and elegant.

No one could resist the allure as Lin Xuan gently wrapped his arm around Yue'er's slender waist.
