Grandpa, times have changed.

A slight stirring ran through Yuan's heart.

"What do you mean?"

What does it mean to want to go back out of selfish motives?
"I will not leave the Tai Xuan Realm until everything here is over." Xu Xing paused for a moment before continuing, "And no one can predict the final outcome."

"If you can get back safely, it will prove that your hometown is still safe and sound."

Having said all he could say, Xu Xing did not continue.

But Yuan already understood what he meant.

And in his heart, he already had the answer.

"I'm sorry, but like you, I probably won't be thinking of going back until everything here is over."

If he can return safely, it will prove that his hometown is safe and sound, and his fellow villagers will be able to put their minds at ease and face everything in the Tai Xuan Realm with peace of mind.

However, he now knows the situation in the Tai Xuan Realm.

Having understood the historical connection between the human race and the Cang race, and realizing that the final battle could break out at any moment...

Even true immortals could not predict their fate in that decisive battle.

Not to mention everyone else.

There are too many important people in the Tai Xuan Realm, how could he possibly leave at this critical juncture?
Even if he doesn't play a significant role in it.

“If anyone should apologize, it should be me,” Xu Xing sighed. “You came to the Tai Xuan Realm because of my decision, and this was done without even consulting you.”

It was just a thought that came to mind unintentionally.

But undeniably, he was indeed at fault in this matter.

"So many people have experienced this, yet they can't have it..." Yuan shook his head slightly.

Whether this matter is good or bad depends mainly on the individual, and even on the stage at which it takes place.

For him in the past, suddenly arriving in such a terrifying world where cultivators could move mountains and fill seas, and pluck stars and seize the moon, making even survival difficult, was certainly not a good thing.

But what happened in the nearly two thousand years that followed can hardly be called 'bad'.

Everyone I met, everything I experienced, and the achievements I ultimately made...

Not to mention that he is now a Dongzhen.

Even if he finds his hometown in the future, he will have the ability to return to the day he left and make up for all his regrets.

"When you think about it carefully, I'm already lucky enough."

"..."

Xu Xing remained silent for a while, then sat down on a chair to the side.

"Since you've decided to stay, I'll tell you about the 'Tai Xuan Immortal Network'."

"it is good."

Yuan nodded, then found a chair and sat down.

After eavesdropping for a while, Chi Jiuyu realized she still couldn't hear anything, so she could only purse her lips and walk away.

I took out my phone, took a picture, and posted it to my Lingwang account.

【I came to see Holy Emperor Yuan with my martial uncle today! o(*￣▽￣*)ブ】

Only Ye Zhiwei, Ye Zhiwei, Zhao Ruohan, Lin Xuanxuan, and Zhang Yunlu can see it.

This kind of thing isn't suitable for widespread dissemination.

It's fine to just show off within your own small circle.

soon……

[Little Zhao, who was quietly practicing his magic, gave it a 'thumbs up']

Hey.

With a grin, she put away her phone and walked towards Yinling, who was sitting obediently by the window.

"Hello, I'm Chi Jiuyu."

Yinling blinked: "I am Yinling."

Saint Emperor Yuan actually brought such a little girl with him. I must tell Senior Sister Wanzhu next time we meet!

Chi Jiuyu thought to himself.

……

……

"The 'Tai Xuan Immortal Network' is built on the framework of the divine system of the Taiping Realm, with my power at its core. Its main purpose is to assist in the 'Ascension Plan'," Xu Xing explained.

It's as if the authority of the gods in the peaceful realm comes from the world itself.

The various functions used by the 'Ascension Messenger' under the Tai Xuan Immortal Network system originate from the evolution of his immortal power.

"The Ascension Plan?" Yuan asked, somewhat puzzled.

It was only when Xu Xing took Chi Jiuyu to Lingyin Workshop that he learned about the existence of the 'Ascension Plan' from Ning Ruo.

At that time, only a handful of people knew about the 'Ascension Plan'.

Yuan naturally had no related memories.

"The 'Ascension Plan' was proposed by Ning... Lingzu."

Spirit Ancestor...

Wanzhu's master.

"The purpose is to select humans from all the heavens and myriad realms who have passed the test of virtue and talent below the level of Dao Integration, and bring them to the Tai Xuan Realm in the name of 'Ascension,' and then endow them with the atmosphere of the Tai Xuan Realm through the 'Cleansing Immortal Pool.'"

Xu Xing raised his hand, and a strand of celestial net, shimmering with a strange light, hung down from the void, existing between reality and illusion.

With a gentle toss, the threads of the celestial net fluttered and drifted towards the abyss.

You should know why you did this.

deep:"……"

No, is that right?

He looked at the threads of the celestial net that floated in front of him and couldn't help but say:
"Then wouldn't the Tai Xuan Realm become the Immortal Realm?"

Perfect merit, ascension, the Immortal Cleansing Pool...

"That's roughly the idea," Xu Xing said, not denying it.

"..."

Yuan remained silent for two seconds before finally raising his hand and gently touching the strand of immortal net in front of him.

However, the moment his fingertips touched it, the threads of the immortal net melted directly into it.

At the same time, a pale blue, semi-transparent panel unfolded in front of him.

[Tai Xuan Immortal Network]

Name: Yuan

Age: Not displayed

[Realm: Profound Truth]

[Class: Mage]

[Affiliation: Righteous Alliance]

[Foundational Cultivation Technique: The True Chapter of Void Trace and Boundless Calamity (Dongzhen)]

[Supernatural powers and spells: One thought encompasses the entire universe (Dongzhen), Shaping the world's overlapping shadows (Dongzhen), Myriad reflections of the body (Dongzhen)...]

[Permissions: None]

[Road Signs: None]

deep:"……"

The personal interface is already set up.

Is this some kind of wholesale system?!
"The current Immortal Network is quite stable after multiple rounds of testing. Once you've recovered somewhat and returned to sort out the affairs of the Righteous Path Alliance, and after the Ascension Hall is built, I will have someone send the Ascension Platform's central hub there."

Although Yuan has regained consciousness, the injuries to his Dongzhen body have not yet healed.

It wasn't that Xu Xing had no other choice, but rather that he wanted Yuan to find his own way to recover, which would be more beneficial for his future cultivation.

Dongzhen has already seen through the true nature of the universe and understood the essence of all things.

To attain ultimate enlightenment and knock on the gates of immortality, it is best to rely on the help of others as little as possible.

For example, when Cheng Ding was injured before, Xu Xing only removed some negative states that might cause his Dao injury to worsen.

"By the way, the chairman of the Righteous Path Alliance... the previous chairman is also in the Sword Sect now. He was also present during the previous Immortal Network test. You can go and see him when you have time."

"Also, they should arrive at the Sword Sect tomorrow, so you can start making preparations." Yuan paused.

"I see."

This is really one thing after another...

"That's all for now," Xu Xing said. "That's about all I wanted to say. Do you have any questions?"

"..." Yuan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "Let me think about it myself first and deal with the current situation first."

"it is good."

Xu Xing stood up.

"Nine fish have left."

"Huh?!" Chi Jiuyu, who had just become familiar with Yinling, was taken aback. "They're leaving already?"

With her outgoing personality, she has successfully become friends with Yinling, calling her "Little Ling" all the time.

"You can stay here if you want."

“Emm… I think I’ll go.” Chi Jiuyu stood up, turned around and looked at Yinling, “Then I’m leaving, Xiaoling. Come visit me when you have time. I’ve been at the Sword Sect for the past two days.”

Xiao Ling is quite naive.

She, the Nine Fishermen Ancestor, loves making friends with simple and honest people!
"Mmm," Yinling responded softly.

Although Chi Jiuyu's topics were very disjointed, and she couldn't understand much of them.

But she didn't reject it; on the contrary, she found it quite interesting to talk to Chi Jiuyu.

"Let's go! Uncle-Master, wait for me!"

Chi Jiuyu jogged to catch up with Xu Xing.

Soon, with the sound of the door closing, the two figures completely disappeared from sight.

Yuan withdrew his gaze and glanced again at his personal interface on the Tai Xuan Immortal Network in front of him.

"..."

In just a few decades, they've even come up with a 'system,' and it's even available for wholesale!
If I really wait until I return home to go back to the Tai Xuan Realm, this world will probably be a different world than I recognize.

……

……

at the same time.

Taiyi Realm.

Several days have passed since Yuan was taken away by the bewitching.

Ji Yinxue broke through the world's crystal wall system with an absolutely high-profile attitude and entered the Taiyi Realm under the protection of all the Dao.

On that day, she not only directly interrupted the transformation process of the Taiyi Realm and extracted the Taiyi Heavenly Will, but also killed four hidden holy lords, seven holy kings, and nineteen holy beings from the chaotic side.

Needless to say, the 'Saint-level' superhumans were also wiped out; nearly half of the higher-level 'Saint-level' superhumans on the Chaotic Side died.

As for those at lower levels, Ji Yinxue didn't even need to lift a finger; nearly two-thirds of the chaotic-side superhumans died in the collapse of the Taiyi Continent.

If it weren't for the final moment when the Holy Lord of the Void burned his essence in an attempt to stop the collapse of the Taiyi Continent...

It's likely that Ji Yinxue will have 'purged' the entire Taiyi Realm by that day.

Taiyi Continent, Void Extreme Sacred Domain.

Inside the holy city, Ji Yinxue walked slowly along the city streets.

The Holy Lord of the Void followed closely behind her, his entire being visibly weak, his vital energy depleted to the extreme.

She gave it her all when she was burning with passion, which caused her to fall into a deep silence at the time, only to wake up today.

"you……"

"You want to ask what my purpose is in coming to your world, right?"

Ji Yinxue seemed to see right through her and directly asked the question she wanted to ask.

"Yes, I would indeed like to ask you about your purpose in coming to the Taiyi Realm."

Although Ji Yinxue's terrifying level far surpassed hers, the Void Saint Lord showed no fear whatsoever.

"This world is extremely evil, using the light of the world as a lure and the kindness of people as bait." Ji Yinxue said in a calm tone, "This world is corrupt, human life is like weeds by the roadside, and the extraordinary can wreak havoc at will."

"This trip to Taiyi is for the purpose of 'purifying the world'!"

For her, comprehending the 'ultimate Dao' was secondary; the most important thing was to kill all the evil and perverse beings in this world!
"..." The Holy Lord of the Void Realm remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "The reason why the Taiyi Realm has become like this is all because I lost to Dongming back then."

Her failure plunged the entire Taiyi Realm into chaos.

Such is the way of the times; they can only helplessly adapt to it.

In the eyes of the Holy Lord of Emptiness, with the exception of a small minority, the vast majority of them could be given a chance to repent and atone for their sins, instead of being condemned to death as they are now.

"From this perspective, I am also part of 'evil,' so why would you save me?"

Yes, at that point, she had no way out as she was burning with passion and had no choice but to give it her all.

She was simply trying her best to save the collapsing Taiyi Continent.

In the end, it was this 'Master of the Pure World' who saved her and sent her back to the Void Sacred Domain to heal her injuries.

"Good or evil, right or wrong, I have my own answer in my heart." Ji Yinxue's tone remained calm.

The Holy Lord of Emptiness is very kind; she deserves a happy ending.

What goes around comes around.

This is how the world should be!

This is the 'way' she adheres to, and no matter how the world views it, it will not shake her heart.

"..."

Looking at Ji Yinxue, whose back was straight and whose every step was precise and without any deviation, the Holy Lord of the Void suddenly felt somewhat powerless.

As a Saint-level transcendent being in the 'New Ritual Cultivation System', she knew she couldn't possibly shake the thoughts in the mind of the Purifying Dao Master before her.

They remained silent.

Following behind Ji Yinxue, the Holy Lord of the Void arrived outside the Void Holy City.

But the gleaming pillars that had lined both sides of the palace had disappeared, replaced by figures dressed in magnificent golden robes and wearing crowns.

These people were all high-level order-side extraordinary individuals of the 'Saint Rank' who died in the Holy War.

After her death, she preserved a trace of her divine soul essence and sealed it inside a palace pillar, nurturing it with the power of the entire Void Extreme Sacred Domain to guide its revival.

Upon seeing the appearance of the Holy Lord of the Void, everyone knelt on one knee with a devout posture.

"We have come to pay our respects to the Holy Lord!"

Even after dying once, there was still no resentment on his face.

Where the heart leads, there is no fear of death!

The Holy Lord of Emptiness paused, and immediately guessed that this must be the work of the Pure World Dao Master.

Then, she first asked everyone to stand up.

Then he looked at the two figures kneeling in the middle of the road, motionless like statues.

The two men were hunched over and so thin that they looked as if a gust of wind could blow them away. In front of them were a cane and a heavy hammer, just like any ordinary old man.

Dianling and Cuojiu!
These were the two reclusive saints who were summoned by the Insightful Saint to assist the Void Saint when the Void Saint went to Fushu Heaven to aid the Abyss, and who blocked the Void Saint.

"These two are yours to deal with," Ji Yinxue said directly.

The moment she spoke, the two of them snapped out of their daze.

I tried to stand up, but found that my knees seemed to be rooted to the ground and I couldn't move at all.

Moreover, the vast extraordinary power within his body and his eternally indestructible physique have become just like those of an ordinary person.

The two even felt a cold sweat on their backs.

The moment he saw Ji Yinxue and the Holy Lord of the Void, he immediately understood his current predicament.

People immediately forgot about pride and face.

They are all very pragmatic people, and they know that the Lord of Purification is a being far beyond their current level.

"Jingshi, ugh...!"

Dianling only managed to utter two words before the rest got stuck in her throat.

Ji Yinxue, however, was too lazy to listen to their nonsense and directly blocked their ability to speak.

"These two men achieved profound enlightenment, which is what you call the 'Holy Kings'. Four thousand three hundred and twenty-one years ago, they did not do much evil, nor did they do much good."

"Counting back 317 years, there has never been an act of indiscriminate killing of innocent people." (End of Chapter)
