Giving Birth But Not Raising, Why Are You Crying Now That I’ve Become an Immortal Emperor? - Chapter 15 - Chapter 15 – Ye Lingyun Suppresses the Phantom Wraith! So Fierce!

Upon hearing the confirmation from Dongfang Yuqing, a deep expression appeared in Li Qingyun’s eyes.

It was known that no one in the Confucian Temple had been able to successfully produce a world-changing saying or summon the vast qi of the Confucian way for many years. Now, with such a person emerging, yet being taken away by the Daoist sect as a disciple, how could he accept it?

After a brief moment of hesitation, he gritted his teeth and raised his head to meet Dongfang Yuqing’s gaze. A smile appeared on his cultured face as he respectfully spoke:

“Hehe, Senior Dongfang, pardon my boldness, but wouldn’t it be somewhat inappropriate to allow such a talented individual to join a Daoist sect?”

“This young one was able to compose a maxim that stirred the righteous qi—it is of monumental significance to my Confucian Temple. I hope Senior might show some leniency and allow us this rare fortune.”

“Our Confucian Temple will certainly be grateful to you for your kindness today.”

His words were neither overly humble nor arrogant, and his stance was clear: neither he nor the Confucian Temple were willing to easily give up such a talent!

Dongfang Yuqing, however, was not surprised by his words. She met his gaze with a cool expression and replied faintly:

“This child has already been acknowledged by the Daoist path. He possesses an Innate Dao physique, the most suitable for cultivating our Daoist techniques.”

At this statement, Li Qingyun’s eyes widened in shock, his pupils trembling violently. He was completely stunned!

“What?!”

What kind of young person was this, to be so extraordinary?!

Not only did he have astonishing Confucian talent, but he also possessed the sacred body of Daoism?!

If it weren’t Dongfang Yuqing saying it herself, Li Qingyun would never have believed such a monstrous person could exist in this world.

Stunned for a few moments, Li Qingyun finally regained his senses and bitterly chuckled.

Since the person had the sacred body of Daoism, facing the Daoist Supreme like Dongfang Yuqing today, no matter how hard he tried, it would undoubtedly be in vain.

But still, if he gave up now, he could not help but feel regret.

“Senior, may I see this person?”

Li Qingyun quickly changed his strategy and made his request to Dongfang Yuqing. To avoid any misunderstanding, he added:

“Please rest assured, Senior, I only wish to see with my own eyes what kind of person possesses such top-tier talents in both Confucianism and Daoism. I will not disturb him.”

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yuqing slightly furrowed her brows, showing some hesitation. After a few moments, she finally nodded: “Alright, but remember, you can only observe secretly. Absolutely no public display.”

Seeing her finally relent, Li Qingyun felt a slight joy in his heart and quickly nodded in agreement.

Not long after, above the imperial palace of Chu Empire, Li Qingyun, guided by Dongfang Yuqing, concealed himself within the void. His formless consciousness spread below toward a certain part of the palace.

When he saw Ye Lingyun’s still youthful and immature face, his eyes involuntarily widened again in shock.

“This… child?!”

???

The appearance of this young child suggested he was only about seven or eight years old?!

Even though he had already guessed that the person who summoned the Confucian qi might be quite young, seeing it in person was still an overwhelming shock!

He stared blankly at Ye Lingyun, the corners of his eyes twitching.

Comparing people truly could be maddening!

Seven or eight years old?

And already able to produce a world-changing saying and summon the vast qi?!

At that moment, Li Qingyun’s expression was one of utter disbelief, and after a long pause, he let out a long sigh.

At the age of eight, this child had already achieved such accomplishments. When he himself was eight, though he could no longer remember clearly, he was just beginning to learn to read.

This vice temple master of Confucian Temple felt utterly defeated.

Looking at the insurmountable gap between them, and recalling the hardship he had gone through just to summon the Confucian qi, he felt an overwhelming sense of frustration.

Moreover, Ye Lingyun’s cultivation was still only at the Golden Core stage!

Li Qingyun hovered in midair, dazed. Turning back toward the deep mountain range where Dongfang Yuqing resided, his eyes brimmed with indescribable envy… and a faint tinge of jealousy.

Senior Dongfang, you truly have taken a fine disciple this time.

…

Days passed in the blink of an eye.

Ye Lingyun was sitting cross-legged alone in his quiet room, meditating and focusing on his cultivation. Suddenly, a slight breeze passed through the room, and a red ghost appeared in the air.

The ghost peered around, its form light and agile. As the red light flickered and solidified, it became the figure of a small girl dressed in red, delicate and refined.

Noticing the disturbance in the quiet room, Ye Lingyun suddenly opened his eyes.

But before he could fully comprehend the situation, a red flash appeared before him, and a cold, eerie aura enveloped his entire being.

The chilling aura surrounded him, making him feel as though he had fallen into an ice-cold pit.

Ye Lingyun immediately became tense.

But that was not the most alarming part.

At the same time, the red ghost, under his astonished gaze, directly entered his forehead!

Whoosh!

As the cold aura surged into his body, Ye Lingyun’s mind was suddenly overwhelmed with strange changes.

His heart tightened. He quickly stilled his breath and directed his consciousness inward toward his mental sea.

On the calm surface of the heart lake, violent ripples suddenly emerged, and a ghostly figure of a little girl appeared.

Ye Lingyun’s consciousness, which had condensed into a formless entity, materialized at that moment.

Before he could speak, the red-dressed little girl mischievously stuck out her tongue and made a face at him:

“Heehee~ I’m a phantom wraith—I specialize in invading minds and killing without a trace.”

“Someone paid to buy your life, and my master ordered me to kill you, little brother, I’m sorry.”

“As a virtual ghost, I can’t disobey my master’s orders.”

After saying that, the little girl stopped making faces, and her expression became serious. She shrugged helplessly and spoke confidently, convinced that she could easily kill him and complete her task.

Though the opponent was also a child of about seven or eight years old, she felt a little reluctant. But as a virtual ghost, she had no control over her actions, everything was under her master’s command—she couldn’t just choose not to kill.

“Eh?”

But before she made any further move, her eyes instinctively scanned the surroundings, and she was stunned by what she saw.

Countless Confucian and Daoist phenomena suddenly emerged in Ye Lingyun’s body.

Boom!!!

Golden characters surged into the air around the heart lake, floating in midair, forming world-changing sayings. As the light shimmered, each phrase displayed immense power.

These golden characters, filled with profound light, danced in midair, quickly forming a golden cage that trapped the red-dressed girl in the center.

At the same time, endless vast qi slowly swept across, creating waves on the surface of the heart lake.

An overwhelming, invisible pressure descended.

And for a wraith—this righteous aura was their greatest fear!

Faced with this sudden turn of events, the little girl was instantly dumbfounded.
