Rewrite My Fate to Become the Daoist Ancestor

Feeling the burning gaze around him.

Qingfeng Child paused involuntarily upon stepping out of the Bronze Gate.

His face still maintained a calm demeanor, but inside, his heart beat rapidly like a drum.

Since their birth, he and Baiyun Tongzi had stayed in Cyan Mountain focusing solely on cultivation, occasionally going out just to pass messages for "Master."

They had never seen such a scene.

He slightly opened his lips, his gaze swept over the expectant faces around but suddenly it was as if something was stuck in his throat, he didn’t know where to start.

The air was filled with a subtle silence.

Zhao Halberd stepped forward, speaking without arrogance or servility: "How should we address this Immortal Child? What brings you here?"

"Just call me Qing... Qingfeng... this trip... trip..."

At this moment, Qingfeng Child’s eyebrows twitched, his spiritual sense tightened, making him a bit stutter when speaking.

Can Immortals stutter?

Zhao Halberd mused secretly.

However, this Immortal Child was human-shaped and spoke a language similar to the Qin Country’s, obviously willing to communicate with them. It seems Ning Zhu was right that the world beyond the World Gate was indeed friendly.

While patiently waiting for Qingfeng Child to speak, Zhao Halberd tapped his leg three times lightly, which was a signal meaning "threat temporarily removed", prompting the Qin Country military positioned around Cyan Mountain to get back on standby.

"Fool, always so clueless. Let me do it."

At this time, another child wearing a Cloud Pattern Daoist Robe emerged from the Bronze Gate, walked to Qingfeng Child, and tapped his head.

"No, no, Baiyun, I just felt very dangerous..."

Qingfeng Child wanted to explain.

"Understood." Baiyun Tongzi waved to interrupt, then turned to the people of Qin Country:

"Everyone, I am Baiyun Tongzi under the seat of Master, here to inform you of an important matter."

With these words.

The scene instantly became so silent that you could hear a needle drop; everyone held their breath, fearing they’d miss any word from the child.

And online, chaos ensued.

People speculated wildly about what earth-shattering secret this "important matter" could be.

"Baiyun Immortal Child, may I ask who your Master is?" Zhao Halberd wanted to confirm the identity.

Baiyun Tongzi replied: "My Master is naturally the Cyan Mountain Daoist Master, also known to you as the Cyan Mountain Immortal."

"It’s really the Cyan Mountain Immortal!"

The scene erupted instantly, with everyone whispering, discussions buzzing.

"Legend has it that the Cyan Mountain Immortal attained Dao during the Spring and Autumn Period; his immortal life has lasted for five thousand years now."

"Does the Cyan Mountain Immortal still accept disciples?"

"I wonder if the Immortal Realm still needs anyone to sweep the floor?"

"I don’t need to be a disciple of the Cyan Mountain Immortal, just being a disciple of the Immortal Child will do."

Qingfeng Child was shocked, hurriedly waved his hand to refuse: "I’ve only been cultivating for five hundred years, I’m not qualified to accept disciples."

"What?! You’re five hundred years old?!"

Voices of shock came from the crowd.

Listen to that, only cultivating for five hundred years; is that even human talk?

What kind of living fossil?!

Everyone looked Qingfeng Child up and down, he appeared so young, who would have guessed this Immortal Child was older than anyone present, from their great great great grandparents’ generation.

Someone realized.

"Does Ancestor Qingfeng accept disciples?"

"Ancestor Qingfeng, look at me. My parents have praised my talent since childhood, calling me an exceptional cultivation genius, one in ten thousand."

Though the numbers of Flying Eagle Guard were limited, they spared no effort to block, yet couldn’t curb the crowd’s enthusiasm as they surged towards Qingfeng and Baiyun Tongzi like a tidal wave.

And the more astute ones, seeing the frontal entrance was hard to squeeze through, turned their eyes to the open Bronze Gate, intending to take advantage of the opportunity to enter.

"Do not trespass into Cyan Mountain!"

Baiyun Tongzi caught sight of this scene from the corner of her eye, immediately shouting sharply to stop it. Then she gently waved her sleeve, a breeze swept away, gently separating the crowd.

The area within ten steps of the Bronze Gate was completely cleared.

Including Zhao Halberd, all were powerless to resist.

All were stunned by this sudden display of abilities, realizing these two Immortal Children were extraordinarily powerful.

Baiyun Tongzi said coldly:

"Trespassing into Cyan Mountain like this will lead you to be directly killed by the Guardian Divine General."

Everyone’s faces turned deathly pale.

"Immortal Child, please introduce us to the Cyan Mountain Immortal." Zhao Halberd communicated with the chief pavilion briefly, then stepped forward to say.

"That’s precisely why I’m here." Baiyun Tongzi said seriously, "Master sent us to bring the fated persons to see him at Cyan Mountain."

"Immortal Child, what are the fated persons?"

Someone among the crowd asked quietly, followed by a silence.

Everyone’s gaze was eagerly directed at Baiyun Tongzi.

Who doesn’t long for cultivation? An Immortal Child could wave a hand and send hundreds flying, possessing a lifespan of over five hundred years; just these two things displayed now were enough for anyone to be willing to give up everything.

Naturally, no one wanted to offend the Immortal’s taboo and miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

And on the Qin Country’s network, seeing this scene, countless people were filled with envy and jealousy, wishing they could immediately take the place of those standing by the Bronze Gate today and become one of the fortunate ones.

Among them, a woman in formal attire, upon hearing these words, without hesitation turned off her phone.

Baiyun Tongzi’s gaze swept over Zhao Halberd, Ning Zhu, Zhang Qirui, and the others who carried the Cyan Mountain inheritance; the rest present were ordinary people.

She muttered to herself, "Master did not specify how many fated persons there would be. But Master has always loved tranquility, so let’s select seven fated persons from among you."

"You, you, you."

First, she pointed to Zhao Halberd, Ning Zhu, and Zhang Qirui, then to Gao Feng and Duanmu Lei. Next, she turned her gaze to the ordinary people, selecting a woman in formal attire and then casually choosing a young pupil who caught her eye.

Three women and four men, exactly seven.

"These are the fated ones."

Baiyun Tongzi looked at the group, gently clapped her hands, dimples forming on her cheeks.

"Come with me."

She said, pushing open the heavy Bronze Gate.

Zhao Halberd and the group exchanged glances, their eyes filled with uncontrollable excitement and anticipation. Under the envious and longing gaze of the crowd, they followed Baiyun Tongzi and Qingfeng Child through the Bronze Gate.

The others could only stand outside the invisible Gentle Wind barrier, watching them enter the Bronze Gate, their hearts filled with reluctance.

In an instant, a dazzling white light flashed.

When Zhao Halberd opened his eyes again, he found himself in an entirely different world. It was a lonely island, surrounded by the vast ocean. Before the Bronze Gate, a group of soldiers in heavy armor stood at attention.

The Red Flame General, noted in ancient books and holding a "Great Halberd," was also present, observing everyone with authority.

When Zhao Halberd met his gaze, his body instantly tensed, his heart sinking.

The Red Flame Celestial Soldiers?!

Ning Zhu, Zhang Qirui, Gao Feng, and Duanmu Lei, although only at the "Inner Qi Realm," clearly felt the difference in the environment. Just a simple breath increased their inner qi wildly, as if something akin to a Great Pill had been consumed.

In this cultivation, the Inner Qi Realm quickly reached a state of "everlasting life."

Only the formal-attired woman "Qiu Yi" and the schoolchild "Beiduo" were looking around, resembling a husky mingling with a pack of wolves.

Qiu Yi looked at Baiyun Tongzi beside her and asked softly, "Immortal Child, what are we waiting for?"

She was eager to meet the Cyan Mountain Immortal.

Baiyun Tongzi explained, "This Cyan Mountain is Master’s world, but we are thousands of li away from the Daoist site. Since you cannot fly, I’ll call some companions to take you, please wait a moment."

The entire world belongs to the Cyan Mountain Immortal?!

Qiu Yi was startled, obediently nodding.

Moments later.

"Woooo—"

Accompanied by the long and deep cry of a whale, thirteen gigantic fish of varying colors leisurely swam from the horizon, swirling and dancing around Baiyun Tongzi with joy.

Baiyun Tongzi gently patted each big fish on the head. The fishes seemed to understand his intention, obediently swimming next to Zhao Halberd and his companions.

Seeing this, everyone was amazed, carefully taking their places on the backs of these great fish formed of clouds. These white fish were entirely made of light clouds, remarkably soft to the touch.

Whoosh!

As the cloud fish slowly ascended, then suddenly accelerated, its speed was utterly breathtaking.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The big fish, like a boat breaking through waves, crashed through one white cloud after another. This experience of flying through the sky in their fleshly bodies was both novel and exhilarating, accompanied by a breeze that kept them from being blown away.

Ning Zhu, Zhang Qirui, Gao Feng, Duanmu Lei, and Qiu Yi and Beiduo were all full of joy and reluctant to part with the extraordinary cloud fish they rode.

"Are they your kin, Immortal Child?"

Zhao Halberd looked at Baiyun Tongzi perched atop another big fish.

"Yes. They have yet to transform."

Baiyun Tongzi nodded slightly, his gaze falling on Zhao Halberd’s face, after a brief pause he said, "Master treats all things equally. I was originally a Baiyun transformed through dao, while Qingfeng was a Gentle Wind Spirit transformed."

Zhao Halberd seemed lost in thought.

"Below us is Cyan Cloud Peak, Master’s Daoist site."

Baiyun Tongzi looked at the ten-li island below, tapping the cloud fish’s head.

"Let us descend."

She and Qingfeng Child were the first to land on Cyan Cloud Peak, standing respectfully aside.

Zhao Halberd and the group followed closely, getting off the cloud fish one by one. Looking around, they saw no one, so they stood respectfully like Baiyun Tongzi, patiently waiting.

The scripts, language, thoughts, and everything in the Qin Country originated from "Cyan Mountain."

And the Cyan Mountain Immortal, who had single-handedly created the Qin Country’s civilization, was technically the ancestor of all their people.

Concerning this ancestor, they naturally dared not show the slightest disrespect.

"How come we arrived so quickly?"

Beiduo, the last to disembark from the cloud fish, bid farewell reluctantly while waving at it, smiling:

"Big fish, goodbye."

She turned her head and waited like the others.

At this moment.

A gentle boy’s voice reached everyone’s ears.

"Sit."
