Grandpa, times have changed.

Shortly after Ji Yinxue descended the mountain.

Deep within the Sword Ancestor's Hall, Xu Xing arrived at the location where the core of the Immortal Network was stored.

Tiny specks of various colors of light slowly rotated around the bright red light inside. After several optimizations and adjustments, the core of the Immortal Net remained as it was at the beginning, resembling a dazzling nebula, exceptionally beautiful.

"What did she say to you?"

The voice came from behind.

But Bie Xuening had arrived here at some unknown time.

"She's going to the Taiyi Realm to seek the opportunity to reach the 'Ultimate Dao,' and wants to use the Immortal Network, so she came to tell me specifically."

Xu Xing turned his head to look at Bie Xuening, who had come to his side.

"If she goes there, I can feel more at ease about Yuan's situation."

What should I say...

Although Xiaoyinxue's personality is a little bit extreme.

But it's still much better than being confused.

At the very least, she wouldn't have any inexplicable thoughts, and someone like Yuan wouldn't be among the 'despicable people' she considered.

"..."

Bie Xuening looked at the core of the Immortal Network in front of her and remained silent for a while before slowly speaking.

"If you're worried, junior brother, you can send someone to check it out."

Among my junior brother's disciples are many powerful cultivators, some of whom are currently cultivating within the sect.

In other words, they were unaware that their junior brother valued this matter highly, and even less aware that their junior brother and Yuan were from the same hometown.

Most of them only knew that their master had paid close attention to Yuan's situation.

But over the years, there have been far too many similar situations.

As a renowned "Creation Immortal" from ancient times, it's perfectly normal for Yuan to receive more attention due to his performance.

Otherwise, the junior brother wouldn't even need to speak.

"There's no need," Xu Xing shook his head slightly.

Yuan left on his own initiative.

His search for Yuanben stemmed from his selfish desire to be a fellow countryman.

“They already have heavy burdens on their shoulders. How can I, because of my selfishness, make them travel thousands of miles to an unfamiliar territory without even having time to rest?”

"Moreover, with Fellow Daoist Huo here, there was originally no need for anyone else to go."

Confusion is a kind of obsession.

But personality aside, with his abilities, even if he were just an avatar, he would be more than capable of resolving this matter.

Hearing this, Bie Xuening frowned slightly.

But in the end, they didn't continue discussing this topic.

However, she reflected on her decision to have her two apprentices help create the emojis.

Does this mean I should treat them better from now on?

emm...

Xiao Yunlu is quite well-behaved, which is good.

That traitor is too naughty. He dares to act recklessly after being given a little discipline. If he's not punished for three days, he'll start climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles.

So let's stick to the old ways.

"What did she say?" Bie Xuening asked again.

The 'she' here naturally refers to Meizu.

“The opportunity to reach the ‘ultimate Dao’ is rare and hard to come by, so of course she wouldn’t stop it.”

Meizu only has this one disciple.

Xu Xing turned to look at the core of the Immortal Net, and with a trace of his mind, he directed the True Immortal Power flowing within it, channeling it along a branch of the Immortal Net into Ji Yinxue's personal interface.

Enlightenment is such a crucial matter that it can never be missed, so Xu Xing planned to send Ji Yinxue there as soon as possible.

As a True Immortal, her endurance is much higher than Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu's, so she can be directly sent to the edge of the Second Realm using True Immortal power as 'fuel'.

“Originally, I planned to seek out Fellow Daoist Min to provide some assistance to Xiao Yinxue in her journey to and from the Taiyi Realm,” Xu Xing continued to explain, “but I never expected that she had already received Fellow Daoist Kui’s gift.”

"Ashamed, fellow Daoist?"

"I was a little surprised when I found out about this."

ashamed……

Because of everything that had happened in the past, he was the most reclusive of all the true immortals.

After that battle, he drifted alone in the starry sky in a way that was almost 'self-exile'.

……

……

after one day.

Early morning, outside the Sword Sect, on the way to the Ascension Hall.

Ji Yinxue walked slowly forward, each step measured with a ruler, without the slightest deviation.

Keep your back straight and your eyes looking straight ahead.

She has finished all her business and is now preparing to go to the Ascension Hall to travel to the Taiyi Realm via the Immortal Network.

Although one can leave the Tai Xuan Realm from other places.

However, going through the Ascension Platform in the Ascension Hall will be faster.

"Senior Sister Ji?"

A slightly surprised voice came from the side.

Turning her head, she saw Chi Jiuyu walking out from around a corner, carrying a purple bamboo shoot that was taller than her on her shoulder.

"It really is you, Senior Sister Ji. What are you doing here?"

Chi Jiuyu put the bamboo shoots on his shoulder aside.

As if he had just thought of something, he first straightened his collar, and after making sure that everything was alright, he quickly walked up to Ji Yinxue.

Where are you going?

She still has a deep impression of this senior student who has obsessive-compulsive disorder.

After meeting her in the starry sky, I even went back to ask my master about it.

"The Hall of Ascension".

"Why are you going to the Ascension Hall?"

"This is not something you should know right now."

"..."

I bumped into an acquaintance on the street and chatted for a bit, but I never expected to hear this phrase that I hate the most.

She scratched her head, and after a long pause, managed to utter a sentence.

"Why don't you come over to my place for a bit?"

"No, maybe next time."

"OK then……"

After saying this, she was about to leave when she noticed that Ji Yinxue was standing still, seemingly waiting for her to continue.

"Although I don't know what you're busy with, Senior Sister Ji, I still wish you all the best!" Chi Jiuyu added.

"Thank you."

"Then...goodbye."

"See you."

This time, Ji Yinxue finally continued forward, heading towards the Ascension Hall.

Chi Jiuyu watched her figure disappear around the corner before returning to his bamboo shoot.

I was just about to take the bamboo shoot that Ye Zhiwei gave me back to process, and then invite Xiao Yunlu and Xiao Xiaoye over for a nice lunch.

After all, it was a gift from her older sister!
However, she froze when she looked down.

The base of the bamboo shoot had somehow transformed into a beautiful, perfectly symmetrical, rounded shape, without a single flaw.

Chi Jiuyu: "..."

Senior Sister Ji's obsessive-compulsive disorder is really something...

After a few moments of reflection, she hoisted the bamboo shoots back onto her shoulder, while asking herself a question.

"Yiyi, didn't you go to learn how to cook bamboo shoots last night? How did it go?"

'Yes, I've got it!'

Her martial uncle named her natal sword 'Moon Mist' and also gave her the nickname 'Fisherman'.

She originally thought the nickname wasn't imposing at all.

But over the past few days, she found that the nickname was quite catchy.

Moreover, compared to the formal name 'Yue Lan', the nickname 'Yi Yi' is easier to pronounce.

……

...On the other side, Ji Yinxue, who had parted ways with Chi Jiuyu, arrived at the Sword Sect's Ascension Hall.

The moment she stepped into the Ascension Hall, it was exactly eight o'clock.

At the same time, Du Ruoheng also appeared in the Ascension Hall.

"I've met senior."

Rumor has it that this senior, Jing Shi, has extremely severe obsessive-compulsive disorder...

Cough!

He was an extremely trustworthy person, which is why he specifically chose this time to arrive at the Ascension Hall.

"Good work."

"It's my duty, senior. You're too kind."

"Ah."

As Du Ruoheng adjusted the state of the central hub of the Ascension Platform, Ji Yinxue stepped onto the uppermost platform.

Without needing anyone else's help, she directly anchored herself to the Sword Sect's Ascension Platform central hub through her personal interface.

hum~
With an invisible distortion, the person vanished from the ascension platform.

"Whoo~"

Du Ruoheng let out a soft breath.

I originally thought it would take a long time, but I didn't expect this senior Jing Shi to leave so decisively.

Rumors are definitely not something you can completely believe...

"Senior Sister Ji is gone?"

Without warning, another figure appeared inside the Ascension Hall.

The newcomer had delicate features, fair and translucent skin that seemed to break at a touch, and long chestnut hair held up with a white ribbon.

She has a curvaceous figure with alluring curves.

A bright red vertical line between her brows shone, and there was a small scar on her left eye; her cherry-colored thin lips were glistening.

It was none other than the Enchanting Cultivator of the Hehuan Sect—Master Qianying.

"Reporting to Senior, Senior Jingshi has just set off."

Du Ruoheng was very clear that what he was seeing was not the true appearance of the Daoist Master Qianying.

As the master of the Enchanting Cultivation lineage, Daoist Master Qianying possesses 'three thousand forms and myriad appearances'.

What each living being sees will be based on the original appearance of the Daoist Master Qianying, with the most beautiful aspect added to his perception.

"That's it..."

Daoist Master Qianying sighed softly, as if regretting that she had arrived too late.

The voice was very soft, but every word stirred ripples in Du Ruoheng's heart, as if his heartstrings were being plucked and struck.

For a moment, he couldn't help but doubt his own mental cultivation.

Even Senior Qianying's unconscious Daoist aura could disturb my mind. Have I been too lax in my cultivation lately?

"Then I shall take my leave."

Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Du Ruoheng bowed and immediately turned and left the Ascension Hall.

Only when she was left in the Ascension Hall did Daoist Qianying gather her Dao aura and look toward the central hub of the Ascension Platform.

Actually, she didn't really want to see Senior Sister Ji.

The main problem is that the pressure of being around Senior Sister Ji is just too much, not to mention that she came to the Sword Sect in place of Senior Sister Ji...

However, I'm already in the Sword Sect, so it wouldn't be good if I didn't come.

After all, they were from the same clan, and Senior Sister Ji had taken good care of him.

So she timed it perfectly, waiting for Senior Sister Ji to leave before rushing over.

This will avoid the awkwardness of meeting.

It can also help avoid unnecessary rumors and gossip.

For example, Senior Sister Ji is too cold-hearted; even though her fellow sect member Dongzhen is in the Sword Sect, no one came to see her off...

Although Senior Sister Ji herself didn't care about these things.

But Senior Sister Ji is a good senior sister; apart from her obsessive-compulsive disorder, there's nothing to criticize about her.

To this end, she deliberately disturbed the mind of the Sword Sect Master, so that he wouldn't have the extra thoughts to think about trivial matters like 'why Dongzhen can't even remember the time accurately'.

"Everything went well, senior sister."

After offering a heartfelt blessing, Daoist Qianying smiled gently, turned around, and left the Ascension Hall.

……

……

Chaos Sea.

A streak of light descended from the highest point, its crimson color flashing past at an unimaginable speed, leaving a trail of flame-like streak.

As the invisible and intangible threads of the immortal net connecting all realms vibrated, they flashed continuously as they flew across the chaotic sea.

Compared to when Xu Xing left the Tai Xuan Realm to investigate the Beast God in the Earthly Immortal Realm with a sliver of his mind, the Chaos Sea is now vastly different.

The Tai Xuan Immortal Network encompasses two major realms and covers all worlds.

If the Chaos Sea of ​​the past was a muddy and rugged mountain road, then the Chaos Sea of ​​the present is a newly opened sea route.

Using the threads of the Immortal Net as a guide, all ascending envoys who pass through the Tai Xuan Immortal Net can travel through the Chaos Sea at a speed far exceeding anything they have ever experienced before, within the two major realms: the First Earth Immortal Realm and the Second Abyss Seeking Realm.

[Calling upon Celestial Power, the Ascension of Perception Begins...]

Within the crimson light, like a torch, Ji Yinxue was observing the state of each world through the 'perception sublimation' state enhanced by the Immortal Network.

But all I see are sycophants and wicked, perverse people everywhere.

Looking around, there are countless realms of suffering for all living beings, but the world she longs to see is extremely rare.

The boundless world unfolded before their eyes; there were very few worlds that could compare to the Tai Xuan Realm.

Ji Yinxue watched all of this calmly, without any extra emotion in her eyes.

Having cultivated to the level of Dongzhen, she was not a naive person.

She wanted to kill all the scheming, wicked, and perverse people in the world, so that the world would be clear and free from evil.

But she knew very well that these things could only be done step by step.

This situation only strengthened her resolve to pursue the Dao.

After gazing for a long time, she finally stopped paying attention to the situation of the many worlds within the [First Earth Immortal Realm] and looked up ahead.

The surging chaotic energy seemed endless, with countless worlds hidden within it.

"The road ahead is long and arduous..."

She let out a very faint sigh, which probably only she could hear.

……

……

After a standard hour, this happened.

A crimson streak swept across the Immortal Realm, traversing the First Realm.

Then, in another standard time, the Taiping Realm, vast as an ancient star, appeared in perception, lying across the Chaos Sea.

[Approaching the destination for this cross-border journey, the pre-set ascent platform towing procedure is being deactivated...]

[WARNING! There will be some bumps during the traction shutdown process, please be prepared.]

Ok?
The red light suddenly dissipated.

Just like Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu back then.

Ji Yinxue felt her surroundings suddenly blur, and in an overwhelming force that was difficult to resist, her whole body seemed to be flattened and stretched.

Even though she was Dongzhen, she felt dizzy and completely lost control of herself in that instant.

After all, it took the two of them thirty-four standard hours to arrive, while she only took two standard hours...

I do not know how long it has been.

The strange feeling gradually dissipated.

Even after calming down, Ji Yinxue couldn't help but frown slightly and exhale softly.

Looking up ahead, I saw two figures who had appeared before me at some point, standing outside the [Second Abyss Realm] and looking over.

Ning Wanzhu and Mingyu.

The commotion caused by the immortal power was so great that the two of them naturally couldn't have missed it and rushed over to check immediately.

“You are…” Ning Wanzhu looked at her, “Senior Sister Ji?”

The two had met several times.

But this was, after all, the Chaotic Sea, and she was somewhat uncertain.

"Hello, Junior Sister Wanzhu and Fellow Daoist Mingyu."

Ji Yinxue greeted them first.

Without waiting for the two to ask, he began to explain on his own.

"I have come to seek the opportunity to reach the 'Ultimate Dao'." (End of Chapter)
