Grandpa, times have changed.

“No, we tried after entering this world, but the Taiyi Realm has been sealed off. Even with the help of the Dongzhen power given to us by Senior Sister Wanyin, we cannot escape.”

This is what Yuan heard.

Before a true immortal, even someone as insightful as Dongzhen, who has already seen through the true nature of things, can find all that he sees, hears, thinks, and imagines to be illusory.

However, true immortals generally wouldn't do something like that just because they're bored.

But it is clear that Huo is not an ordinary true immortal.

And so, under the influence of this confusion, the three of them simply said what they wanted to say and listened to what I wanted to say.

In the end, Yuan believed that they had come in their true forms and were unable to leave due to the blockade of the Taiyi Realm.

Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu believed that Yuan had already realized that they were merely 'incarnations of doubt' and that even if they were completely destroyed, it would not harm their true selves.

Strangely, despite the fact that there were many inconsistencies in the information the three of them received, none of them realized it.

Ultimately, the three decided to split up.

The most important thing right now is to buy time so that Yuan can establish contact with the sealed original body through the "false body" of the "Deceiving Heaven and Substituting Form to Seize the World Method".

As outsiders, Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu are too conspicuous in the Taiyi Realm, and acting with Yuan would only expose his location.

"Senior Sister Wanyin's trump card can be used three more times, right?" Yuan suddenly asked.

"Ah."

Ning Wanzhu took out her pure white jade pendant, which only had one vertical mark left.

Mingyu also took out her own jade pendant and handed it over.

Two engravings remained on the lustrous jade tablet, indicating that the power of the Cave Truth contained within could be used twice more.

"You keep it; it works better in your hands than we do."

"Need not."

Yuan shook his head slightly, then took the one from Ning Wanzhu's hand.

Mingyu's expression froze.

Yuan glanced at her and explained:
"Don't overthink it. I just want to use that wisp of Dongzhen magic power to help you shield yourself from the locking of the Taiyi Realm's Heavenly Will."

As he spoke, he gently traced the vertical lines engraved on the lustrous jade plaque with his fingertips.

Zheng~
It still made the same strange sound as before, but it was much more subtle.

As Yuan smoothed out the last vertical mark on the jade tablet, a pure, heavy stream of white light, as if the entire 'Void Heaven' could not withstand it, meandered out from it and circled between Yuan's two fingers.

Soon, the white light stream leaped to the fingertip and gathered into a small ball of light.

Compared to the dazzling light that solidified a realm, this wisp of True Enlightenment power seemed insignificant.

With a light flick of the finger.

hum~
The tiny ball of light instantly transformed into two thin streams of light, which entered Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu's brows, turning into two pure white, mysterious runes.

"This rune can interfere with the will of Heaven in the Taiyi Realm, preventing Him from pinpointing your location for a month," Yuan said with a smile. "This way, I can feel more at ease."

“We are just ‘incarnations of doubt’ here. Actually, it doesn’t need to be so complicated. You can keep it for yourself…” Ning Wanzhu couldn’t help but say.

However, Yuan seemed not to hear it.

Or rather, Ning Wanzhu's words took on a different meaning in his ears:
“A part of me has been refined by the Taiyi Realm. As long as I don’t expose myself, it will be difficult for Heaven to find me.”

"Moreover, if He can really pinpoint my location, it won't make much difference whether I have these two strands of True Enlightenment power or not."

Pity.

According to Wanzhu and Mingyu, the Immortal Network's mission to help them cross the Chaos Sea was a very energy-consuming activity, and the energy consumption would increase significantly for each additional high-level item they carried.

Otherwise, one of them is a direct disciple of the True Immortal of Lingyin Pavilion, and the other was the former master of Tingyu Tower. They have countless trump cards up their sleeves.

He could wipe out the Taiyi Realm just by using his trump cards!
……

……

More than half an hour later.

Yuan left, while Mingyu and Ning Wanzhu remained in Xujitian.

The long-awaited reunion was cut short before they could even say "I miss you," and they had to part again.

The mastermind behind all of this appeared in an inconspicuous corner of the Void Realm not long after Yuan left.

"It makes me feel like a major villain."

Huo gazed in the direction Yuan had left and clicked his tongue in disapproval.

She was doing it for Yuan's own good, to make him realize the consequences of his 'naive persistence'...

The villain?

He should be a life mentor!
"However, a script changed at the last minute is bound to have flaws."

If there weren't this unknown enlightened being, the 'Supreme Being,' eyeing us covetously, and if the original script had been followed, the scene of the three meeting would have been much more 'reasonable'.

Instead of the current situation where every word they exchange has to be carefully reviewed, and many things have to be adjusted personally by them.

Thinking of this, Bu Qu couldn't help but sigh softly:

"These young people nowadays..."

Didn't he just erase a lot of emotions that weren't in the script?

Surprisingly, the most common source of suspicion was the Spirit Ancestor's disciple and the younger generation of the Righteous Path Alliance.

That's right!

Their wariness of him was even greater than that of the biggest 'villain' in this script—the Holy Lord of Insight!
What about trust between people?
If I hadn't given you the 'Light of Doubt' back then, allowing you to come to the Taiyi Realm in the form of incarnations, would you have had this opportunity to meet Yuan?

That’s all.

As one of the thirteen true immortals of the Tai Xuan Realm, he should be more magnanimous.

Anyway, the 'script' is still under his control, so what's next...?

"It needs a little more time to develop, and then a little more 'unexpected' event."

After all, they had just reunited and were in a happy mood.

Moreover, if the script moves too fast, it will seem very 'awkward', won't it?
Thinking this to himself, Huo turned around and glanced back.

Then he turned and disappeared.

……

……

A week passed just like that.

After Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu learned the "Deceiving Heaven and Substituting Form to Seize the World" method from Yuan, they also began to pass on this method to some suitable people.

They even gave a copy to the Holy Lord of the Void.

The Method of Deceiving Heaven and Taking the World by Substitute

The name sounds intimidating, but this is a profound and true method that integrates dozens of secret techniques from the Tai Xuan Realm that target 'Heaven's Will', as well as the characteristics of the 'Return to the Ruins' ritual lineage.

Although those who practice this method will become 'false bodies', this does not mean they will be harmed.

The identity of the 'false body' is merely a 'medium' that Yuan uses to establish a connection with his sealed original body through the "Deceitful Manifestation Method".

Not only is it harmless, it can also enhance one's own fortune and luck.

Those with exceptional talent can even glimpse the abyss's understanding of the 'Tao' during this process.

The Sacred Realm of Emptiness.

Inside the black tower at the very center of the holy city.

Before the jade disc that sealed many relics left by extraterrestrial visitors, the Holy Lord of the Void sat quietly, just like an ordinary cultivator.

There were no unusual signs on his body.

The golden vertical line between her brows and the soft light shining from the ends of her hair had both disappeared.

A fiery and sacred supernatural power surged within her, and a mysterious transformation was brewing within her.

A wisp of his mind was no longer within the realm, but rather, following an unseen connection, it wandered within the Abyss Realm that revolved around the Taiyi Realm.

Before chaos was created, Yin and Yang were not distinguished.

Within the hazy, desolate realm, two slowly rotating, pure white, prismatic crystals were imprinted.

Countless invisible threads extended from it, sensing the essence of the Abyss Realm in a way different from the extraordinary system of the Taiyi Realm. Opposite it, a pair of dark purple eyes hung high, sending chills down one's spine.

Suddenly, it seemed as if a will entered into it, and the pair of dark purple eyes immediately looked at the mark left by the Void Saint Lord.

"Emptiness".

The cold voice reverberated throughout the Abyss Realm.

The supreme and holy indifferent will swept across, directly causing many invisible threads extending from the pure white prismatic crystals to snap.

The enlightened sage no longer uses 'disorder' and 'chaos' to conceal the true beliefs he holds.

He is the one who received the mandate of the heavens!

He is willing to pay any price for the world's energy level to leap forward.

"You betrayed Taiyi."

He had already realized that the method being used by the Void Saint Lord did not belong to the extraordinary system of the Taiyi Realm.

As the Holy Lord of the Taiyi Realm, he actually cultivates methods from another world!

He viewed this as tantamount to betrayal!
"Dongming, I already know the ins and outs of this matter."

With this sound, a holy and pure will instantly swept outwards, centered on a pure white prismatic crystal.

Ultimately, it rivaled the supreme and indifferent will of the Insightful Holy Lord.

"The will of the Taiyi Realm broke its promise, sealed off those who helped Taiyi, and used the 'Ritual of Seeking Truth by Refining the Chaos' to wreak havoc on the Taiyi Continent and the 108 Heavens, causing immense suffering to all living beings."

“Take a good look. Nowadays, the lives of all living beings in the Taiyi Realm are as insignificant as grass and duckweed. No one cares if they die by the roadside.”

Is this really the right thing to do?

The two supreme beings of the Taiyi Realm thus faced each other from afar through the marks left by the Yuanxu Realm.

"On a global scale, how can things be simply divided into right and wrong?" The Insightful Saint Lord's tone was laced with sarcasm. "Hasn't your failure back then made you realize that your so-called 'kindness' was just a burden?"

"But wasn't the Taiyi Realm able to survive precisely because of the 'kindness' of outsiders?"

"It's just an exchange of benefits; he needs the spiritual object."

"A true god, he can simply take it if he wants, and who can stop him?" The Holy Lord of the Void said calmly, "You and I are nothing more than ants in his eyes."

"That's why he fell here because of his 'goodness'."

For the Holy Lord of Insight, the Holy Lord of Emptiness lost to him back then because of her 'kindness'.

And now, a true god who transcends the Taiyi Realm has fallen here because of a single act of kindness. Isn't that enough to explain the problem?

Both had their own convictions, and neither could convince the other in a short time.

After all, to have reached this point in such an extreme extraordinary system as the Taiyi Realm, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that their beliefs are 'unbreakable by a thousand calamities and unchanging by ten thousand tribulations'.

a long time.

The two forces dissipated and faded away.

……

……

Taixuan Realm, Sword Sect.

"You're going to the Taiyi Realm?"

Inside the Sword Ancestor's Hall, the firelight flickered.

Xu Xing sat in the center of the dojo, looking at the short-haired woman in front of him who stood up straight with a solemn expression.

Ji Yinxue.

She suddenly came to the Sword Sect today for some reason, saying that she was going to the Taiyi Realm.

“Yes, I have heard that Yuan, the founder of the Righteous Path Alliance, is imprisoned. Wanyin is a good friend of mine, and I happen to have some free time, so I would like to make a trip there,” Ji Yinxue said in a serious tone.

"Elegy?"

You must have mistaken someone for someone else.
And I remember Wanyin has been hit by you countless times from the past to the present, and now she avoids you. How did you two become 'friends'?

But given Xiao Yinxue's personality...

If she says that, then she must think that way.

"Wanyin's junior sister is naturally also my junior sister."

"..." Xu Xing hesitated for two seconds, "Are there any other reasons?"

He didn't believe that Xiao Yinxue would come to the Sword Sect to find him for such a reason, leaving the Tai Xuan Realm and traveling across several realms to the Tai Yi Realm.

"..." Ji Yinxue remained silent for a while.

She doesn't lie.

"I feel that the opportunity for me to comprehend the 'Ultimate Dao' lies in the Taiyi Realm."

The ultimate Dao?

Hearing this, Xu Xing also became serious.

The 'Ultimate Dao' is a process that every human being seeking immortality must go through. It is not an improvement in cultivation level, but rather a kind of ethereal 'state'.

Enlightenment is enlightenment, and not being able to understand it is not being able to understand it.

Only by grasping this key point can one elevate their life's cultivation to its ultimate level, thereby having the possibility of unlocking the gates to immortality.

Theoretically, one can comprehend this even outside the Tai Xuan Realm.

"If that's the case, I will go find Fellow Daoist Min..."

There is nothing more important than 'Knocking on the Immortal Gate'.

“No need to trouble Senior Sword Ancestor.” Ji Yinxue took out a golden jade talisman. “I have already obtained it from Senior Kui. It is enough for me to travel back and forth.”

The moment she was moved to decide to go to the Taiyi Realm to find the opportunity for the 'Dao Ji', this jade talisman appeared out of thin air above the Hehuan Sect.

"Do I feel ashamed, fellow Daoist...?"

Xu Xing looked at the golden jade talisman in her hand.

One could only feel the blazing martial will within it, illuminating the heavens and the universe.

"In that case, go ahead. The Immortal Net will send you to the edge of the Second Realm."

"Thank you, senior."

Ji Yinxue bowed respectfully, then turned and left without hesitation.

I left the temple and just turned a corner.

ding dong~
The message notification sounded; it was the only 'special attention' contact she had set.

Take it out and take a look.

Master: "How did it go? Did you explain things clearly to your fellow Daoist?"

Ji Yinxue: "I've explained it clearly, Master."

Master: "Fellow Daoist Huo is also in that world, so you must be careful."

Master: "If he bullies you, just tell me, and I'll beat him up for you! / The fierce little yellow duck"

Master: "He can't beat me / smug"

Ji Yinxue: "Don't worry, I will be careful, Master."

Master: "Yes, yes, you're my only disciple. I'm still waiting for you to take care of me in my old age."

Ji Yinxue: "My master is a true immortal, eternally existing. If anyone is to die, it will be me first."

Master: "Pah! Pah! Pah! What nonsense are you talking about?"

Master: "Get out of here right now! /Serious"

You retracted a message.

Ji Yinxue obediently retracted the message, replied seriously for a few more sentences, and then put her phone away.

Coincidentally, she also arrived outside the Sword Ancestor's Hall.

Without stopping at all, they walked directly down the mountain steps.

Using kindness as bait is the height of evil! (End of Chapter)
