C92 Five Years

"The fact that Fang Zheng died in your hands must be kept a secret. I will tell everyone that I found you and killed Fang Zheng in time. That way, the Five Elements Sect will have nothing to say!"

Listening to Zhou Tong's warning, Li Yi and Zhao Zilong nodded their heads. They weren't fools. Fang Zheng dying at their hands was a completely different concept from dying at Zhou Tong's hands. If he died at their hands, the Misty Pavilion would have to give the Five Elements Sect an explanation. Even he and Zhao Zilong might be held responsible.

After all, Fang Zheng was an elder of the Five Elements Sect, so he couldn't die in the hands of two Aurous Core stage disciples. They couldn't prove that Fang Zheng was plotting for Li Yi's Five Elements Body to fail, because this was too absurd; the difference between the early and late stages of the Aurous Core stage was like heaven and earth.

Unless Li Yi told him the secret of having a Wanxiang Body and nine great golden cores, he would definitely face an even greater crisis this way.

This was because the other four sects would definitely not allow such a destabilizing person to exist.

The reason why the Five Great Door of the East Continent could live in peace and help was because the Five Great Door of Immortality was comparable in strength. There was no one that could suppress the other four sects.

If Li Yi's secret was exposed, he would inevitably become a thorn in the side of the other four sects! If Li Yi continued to grow, it could be predicted that for a very long period of time in the future, the other four sects would definitely be pressured by the Misty Pavilion to the point where they wouldn't even be able to breathe.

It had to be known that having nine great Jindan by himself was an unprecedented event. One could imagine how heaven defying Li Yi's battle prowess was!

Right now, the strongest cultivators in the cultivation world were the Loose Immortal Patriarchs of the five great sects. However, if Li Yi reached the Large Success Stage, his battle prowess would be enough to suppress the other four great sects' Loose Immortal Patriarchs. After all, as a Loose Immortal, he couldn't go all out. Otherwise, he would trigger the heavenly tribulation ahead of time. If he wasn't prepared to face the heavenly tribulation, he would be courting death!

And Fang Zheng dying in the hands of Zhou Tong was another matter. It was something that he had brought upon himself, something that he had died for nothing! The Five Elements Sect didn't have a reason nor the guts to find trouble with Zhou Tong!

After that, just as Zhou Tong had predicted, he declared to the public that after Fang Zheng had personally killed Li Yi's physique, the Five Elements Sect did not react excessively. In fact, the sect head of the Five Elements Sect, Feng Wuji, had even sent someone to the Misty Pavilion to apologize, stating that Fang Zheng's actions were purely personal and had nothing to do with the Five Elements Sect.

"..."

"What? Your Master is coming?"

Zhou Tong's eyes widened until they were round. When he saw the white pigeons and Bai Ling nodding their heads, he almost jumped up.

After the matter with Fang Zheng ended, the two ladies, White Pigeon and Bai Ling, stayed at the gate. In any case, only Zhou Tong, Li Yi, and Zhao Zilong remained within the door. There were plenty of places, and for this reason, Zhou Tong had even built a small wooden house for the two girls to live. Leng Linglong and Leng Yanran also came over from time to time to stay. The four of them were as close as sisters, and the Misty Pavilion was aware of the relationship between Li Yi and the two girls. The male disciples were so envious that their eyes were almost turning green.

After two years of this, Leng Linglong, the white pigeon, and Bai Ling had all reached the Aurous Core stage. Leng Ruyan felt that it was time for Li Yi, Leng Linglong, the white pigeon, Zhao Zilong, and Leng Yanran to officially become Dao-companions.

Thus, the white pigeon and Bai Ling informed their master about this situation. The "Asura fairy" immediately decided to go to the Misty Pavilion to attend the grand ceremony of her two beloved disciples becoming Dao-companions with Li Yi and Zhao Zilong, and also to meet with Zhou Tong.

"What? Master, are you very afraid that Ling'er's master will come?"

Zhao Zilong looked at Zhou Tong with a ridiculing smile.

"Afraid? Why would I, your master, be afraid? "

Zhou Tong's expression was a bit unnatural. Li Yi and Zhao Zilong were secretly amused. They were almost certain that the relationship between Zhou Tong and the 'Asura Fairy' was not as simple as a good friend. There was definitely a story between the two of them!

Moreover, it could be seen that Zhou Tong seemed to be somewhat afraid of meeting the 'Asura Fairy'. Just what kind of extraordinary woman was she to be able to make the usually fearless Zhou Tong reveal such a timid expression? Li Yi and Lan Xin could be said to be filled with curiosity towards the 'Asura Fairy' that they had never met.

"Senior Zhou, Master is a very nice person, and she always talks about you!"

Bai Ling was rather simple, and she continued to mutter under her breath, completely not noticing Zhou Tong's awkwardness. Zhou Tong could only find an excuse and teleport away, leaving behind the stupefied Bai Ling and Li Yi, who were secretly laughing.

Three days later, the 'Asura fairy' Bai Su arrived at the Misty Pavilion. The moment they met, Zhou Tong acted as if he had seen a cat. He didn't even dare to breathe.

"Second Brother, how long are you going to hide from me?"

Finally, Bai Su could no longer hold it in and blocked Zhou Tong, who was trying to escape again.

"Um, what are you saying, Lil 'White? When did I hide from you?"

Zhou Tong's eyes flickered, his smile very forced.

"Second Brother, I know you feel that you have a deep debt of guilt towards me for choosing to return to the Misty Pavilion as the First Elder, but after so many years, I don't mind. Why are you still brooding over this?"

"I, I …" I always feel ashamed of you! "

A hint of dejection flashed through Zhou Tong's eyes. Back then, he had been so unbridled and unrestrained. In the eyes of others, this incomparably precious position of Misty Pavilion's Great Elder was something that he had never placed in their eyes.

If it wasn't for the great change that had occurred in the Misty Pavilion, the Great Elder and the sect head would have died from their tribulation at the same time, and he would not have endured the pain of leaving Bai Su and returning to the Misty Pavilion to assume the post of Great Elder.

Because of this, he did not dare meet Bai Su and did not have the mood to teach his disciples. He stayed at the entrance and trained, almost never leaving the Misty Pavilion.

It was only when Li Yi and Zhao Zilong appeared and saw such a beautiful jade, that Zhou Tong's heart, which was like an ancient well, began to fluctuate and he had the thought of taking Li Yi as his disciple.

"Yes, I did hate you before when you left. I hated how ruthless you were for leaving me behind, hated how you chose to abandon me in the sect! But second brother, time can wash away hatred, but not love. I don't hate you anymore, can't you let go of your guilt and face me calmly? "

"Little White, I …"

Bai Su's confession caused Zhou Tong to feel ashamed, but at the same time, his heart was moved. The eyes of the four girls by his side turned red, and even Li Yi and Zhao Zilong sighed. They had guessed that there was a story between Zhou Tong and Bai Su.

The matter came to an end like this. The knot in Zhou Tong's and Bai Su's heart had been resolved, and Bai Su directly joined the Misty Pavilion to become an elder of the sect.

To this, Leng Ruyan was naturally very happy. An early stage Divine Tribulation expert, especially one who was a grandmaster of alchemy, would be of great help to the Misty Pavilion in raising its strength.

The matter of Li Yi and Zhao Zilong becoming Dao-companions with the four ladies was also settled. The Misty Pavilion organized a small internal banquet, and without much publicity, Li Yi, Leng Linglong, the white pigeon, Zhao Zilong, Leng Yanran, and Bai Ling officially became Dao-companions.

The four girls immediately stayed at the door, but they did not finish their rooms with Li Yi. According to Leng Ruyan and Bai Su's suggestions, they would dual cultivate with Li Yi after the four girls broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Although Li Yi and Zhao Zilong felt a little regretful, they didn't force it. Cultivators were less passionate, and the pleasure when their cultivation increased far surpassed the physical stimulation when a man and a woman were having fun. In any case, they would have time in the future, so they weren't in a rush.

"..."

In a blink of an eye, five years had passed. Li Yi and Zhao Zilong had already reached the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage and could break through anytime. It was just that their cultivation had increased too fast.

Li Yi had even created a technique to strengthen his body, which was taught to Zhao Zilong. Although it wasn't like the [Primal Chaos Formula], where one could use 100% of the absorbed spiritual energy to temper their body, 70% could still be used to strengthen their body.

Zhao Zilong was naturally overjoyed, he had always admired Li Yi's super strong physical body. As an indestructible body, his combat strength was directly linked to the strength of his physical body.

Although the [Eternal War Art] also had the effect of strengthening the body, and the indestructible body was naturally stronger than ordinary cultivators of the same level, it was far from matching up to Li Yi.

Now that he had the [Confusion Heaven Technique], Zhao Zilong's physical body was growing stronger day by day. The most important thing was that he could control his own cultivation, and he wouldn't need to break through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Stage so quickly.

Bai Su had said that when the two of them were training together for the first time, the gap between their cultivations was getting smaller and bigger. If he could train with Leng Yanran and Bai Ling until he reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage, then the matter of the two of them training together would have to be delayed. If that was the case, it would be terrible!

Leng Yanran and the others were all talented individuals and had broken through to the great circle of the later stage of the Aurous Core stage. They only needed to wait for an opportunity to break through to the early stage of the Nascent Soul Stage.

Although this cultivation speed couldn't compare to Li Yi and Zhao Zilong, it was still considered extremely fast in the Misty Pavilion, and even in the entire Eastern Region, the Immortal Cultivation World.

Of course, it was impossible to not be hasty. With a pill refining master like "Asura fairy" Bai Su and a pill refining genius like Li Yi, all sorts of pills that could increase one's cultivation and strengthen one's spirit were consumed. As for pill refining spiritual herbs, with the presence of the Five Elements Immortal Palace, there was no lack of spiritual herbs at all.

Soon, the day when the Exquisite Pagoda opens once every twenty years would come. Leng Yanran and the other three girls needed to go into seclusion to break through to the early Nascent Soul stage. Only Li Yi and Zhao Zilong would be able to participate.
