Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2444: Chapter 39: Innate Saintess Wang Licui! Meeting the Taoist Master

When they heard this, the faces of the Sacred Supremes who were giving gifts turned pale.

It must be a joke, who would spend a dozen years making a round trip just to go to the Sea of Clouds Heavenly Abode for a feast?

As a result, the Sea of Clouds Sacred Supreme made a fortune that time with “receiving gifts without hosting a feast”.

“The last time, I remember it was his disciple Qingyuan inheriting the Sacred Image…” Hongzhen Taoist Master nostalgically recalled the past, unconsciously rambling, “That time, they also brought a cloud boat full of gifts back home, right? And the time before that…”

After talking about the Sea of Clouds Sacred Supreme for a full two hours, Hongzhen Taoist Master finally remembered the important matter and asked, “Right, this time, what’s the new trick that kid from the Sea of Clouds has thought of?”

“Respectful Master,” the seat protector reported, “It is said that the Sea of Clouds Sacred Supreme has taken in a new disciple who wants to pay respects to the Taoist Master…”

“A new disciple? Using this reason to come and get benefits again? That kid really is regressing with age, can’t he think of a better idea?” Hongzhen Taoist Master waved his hand and said, “Tell that kid from the Sea of Clouds that I am in seclusion and unavailable to hear his report.”

“Respectful Master,” the seat protector reluctantly continued, “The Sea of Clouds Sacred Supreme says this new disciple of his is quite extraordinary.”

Hongzhen Taoist Master: “How is he extraordinary?”

“The Sea of Clouds Sacred Supreme says after inheriting the Immortal Scripture, his new disciple has reached the Tenth Blood Line and possesses the rare devouring War Body type bloodline!” The seat protector answered truthfully.

“…”

Hongzhen Taoist Master fell silent.

The seat protector wasn’t sure if it was a misconception, but felt that, for a moment, the Taoist Master’s expression was somewhat subtle.

A moment later, Hongzhen Taoist Master softly opened his mouth: “Bring him to see me.”

“Yes, Respectful Master.”

The seat protector immediately took the order and left.

Soon, the Sea of Clouds Sacred Supreme received the notice, and, taking his beloved disciple Wang Licui, boarded the public transportation of Dao Palace—the Cloud Carriage, and flew towards Hongzhen Palace to pay respects to the Taoist Master.

Since it was to pay respects to the Taoist Master, Si Wuchou, Lan Wanyi, and others naturally did not follow.

The material of the Cloud Carriage is special, floating in the air like a soft cloud, sitting on it gives the sensation of riding on clouds.

Wang Licui curiously observed on the Cloud Carriage before turning her attention to the floating Immortal Islands around.

From afar, these Immortal Islands seemed vibrant with Spiritual Energy, and now, as the Cloud Carriage skimmed over one floating Immortal Island after another, the details of the Immortal Islands unveiled before her eyes.

Almost every Immortal Island had towering Immortal Palaces, each with a majestic, historical aura, fully showcasing the essence of the Immortal Family.

Wang Licui was stunned by the grandeur of such ancient edifices: “Master, Master, that pillar is carved from a whole piece of utmost cold jade; if we take it back, it could probably be sold for several Immortal Spirit Stones, right?”

“Master, Master, the steps we’re stepping on seem like Yin-Yang Magnetic Jade, so many steps… if we take down a few layers, they won’t notice, will they?”

“Master, Master… that Cloud Crane flying overhead is so huge, its flight is so graceful and elegant, the muscles must be very chewy.”

The Cloud Crane passing by caught these words and was so startled it almost fell from the sky, not caring about maintaining its usual graceful posture, it flapped its wings desperately, quickly fleeing from this malicious girl.

Wang Licui didn’t mind any of it.

All along the way, she was filled with amazement.

When she mentioned taking down and packing up the two “Long-Bright Immortal Lamps” in the sky above Hongzhen Palace, the Hongzhen Taoist Master, who had been secretly observing with God Sense, finally couldn’t sit still and a voice rang in Sea of Clouds Sacred Supreme’s ear: “Hey kid from the Sea of Clouds, hurry up with your disciple, don’t leisurely sit on the Cloud Carriage anymore.”

Orders from the Taoist Master were not to be disobeyed.

Sea of Clouds Sacred Supreme hurriedly wrapped his beloved disciple with Mysterious Energy and instantly moved into the inner hall of Hongzhen Palace.

At this moment, Hongzhen Taoist Master was sitting upright on a high platform, surrounded by swirling clouds, his visage indistinct.

Though this was not the formal setting of the Daoshao Treasury Palace, the atmosphere was quite solemn and serious.

“Sea of Clouds, with beloved disciple Wang Licui, pays respects to the Respectful Master, wishing the Respectful Master eternal life.” Sea of Clouds Sacred Supreme, seeing this, also assumed a serious and upright demeanor, and performed the etiquette with due respect.

Seeing his immortal grace and lofty demeanor, it’s hard to imagine he could engage in the act of collecting money without hosting a feast.

“Alright~ get up.”

Hongzhen Taoist Master was not particularly fond of Sea of Clouds Sacred Supreme, casually acknowledged him, and then turned his attention to Wang Licui.

As the pinnacle of Human race power, the Taoist Master’s God Sense was far superior to that of an Immortal Monarch or Sacred Supreme. With just a slight probe, he already understood the bloodline and talent of Wang Licui.

He kindly praised, “You, child, have quite an impressive bloodline and talent. It is truly a blessing for the Human race to have such a descendant like you. How old are you this year?”

“Four hundred and one years. My four-hundredth birthday was this year.” Wang Licui counted on her fingers for a while before saying sheepishly.

“Still quite young indeed.” Hongzhen Taoist Master looked at the young Wang Licui with kindness, “During this period, don’t rush your cultivation, just enjoy yourself in the Dao Palace. Whatever you want to eat or play with, you can let me know. If you even want to change your master, I can make that decision for you…”
