Grandpa, times have changed.

Ancient Tai Xuan Tian.

Before the Hall of Time.

A figure formed from seven-colored radiance stood there, illusory and hazy, the rotating halo of time behind his head also blurred, as if a mere breeze could blow it away.

antiquity.

"Sword Ancestor and his group have made new moves."

The sudden sound made Gu pause.

Turning around to look in the direction from which the sound came, they saw a wisp of purple energy appear, rapidly expanding like a breath, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a figure the size of an ordinary person.

But He waited until He was completely solidified before speaking.

"What's the situation?"

Xuan has not visited Gu Tai Xuan Tian many times in recent years, and he would not make a special trip for ordinary matters.

"The Sword Ancestor found a world in the Chaos Sea."

Xuan walked to His side and looked up at the sky.

But the sky was bright and clear. Although it was not as good as when Gu was injured, it was still much better than when he came last time.

Of course, this was all thanks to His help.

The Sword Master wields the supreme killing sword path, which is extremely fierce and ruthless. In ancient times, when she was exploring Qingxu, she killed his true body. The 'Dao injury' is not something that can be recovered in a short time.

“He used the ‘method of boundary evolution’ to create a timeline in that world and drained its extraordinary elements.”

Has the extraordinary element been drained from it...?

Gu remained calm and composed.
Why did he do that?

"Why... all the transcendent beings in the heavens arose because of me? Before me, all the worlds existed, but the transcendent beings were not apparent."

As Xuan explained, he glanced at Gu, his pale purple eyes revealing no particular emotion.

“By removing the supernatural elements, the medium they use to trace the ‘Great’ becomes pure and is no longer influenced by me.”

"..."

So that's how it is. Using a world devoid of 'supernatural elements' as a medium, we trace back through the primordial intent represented by Tai, and then determine His state?

These human immortals do have ideas...

"And then, by the time you found out, he had already succeeded?" Gu asked.

Did you choose to stop it?
Or should we choose to tacitly allow all of this to happen?
After all, He had already begun to doubt Himself and the battle of that year.

The human race's True Immortals taking the opportunity to probe Mingtai's situation might just be what Xuan wanted.

“I tried to stop it, but the Sword Ancestor had the initiative, and I couldn’t intervene.”

Xuan observed Gu's reaction.

"So, he succeeded in the end."

really……

Gu showed no sign of anything unusual, mainly because this outcome was within His expectations.

"Besides that, did the Sword Ancestor take this opportunity to arrange anything else?"

"As far as I can see, no."

"That's good."

"..."

Is he pretending not to care?

Or do they really not care?
"Aren't you worried?" He asked very directly.

"...Why should I worry? I can't stop the Sword Ancestor, and he's only doing this to check on Tai's condition."

Gu looked at Xuan, his tone suddenly carrying a hint of sarcasm.

“I know you suspect that Tai’s fall back then was related to me. If you want to know something, you can just ask directly. There’s no need to beat around the bush.”

"it is good."

Hearing Him say this, Xuan also acted decisively.

"This is no time for us to fight amongst ourselves, and I hope you're not hiding anything from me."

Since we've come this far, let's just speak frankly and openly.

"I only have one question."

"You, me, Tai, and even the heavens, are all ancestors of the Azure race, so why is it that only you and the heavens look the same as the ordinary Azure race?"

Gu was stunned.

He never expected Xuan to ask such a question.

……

……

Another month has passed in the blink of an eye.

This world.

early morning.

In front of the Inheritance Hall, within the inner sect of the Sword Sect.

Zhang Yunlu leaned against a tree by the roadside, texting on her phone in one hand, glancing up at the Hall of Inheritance every now and then, as if waiting for someone.

It didn't take long.

A streak of light pierced the sky and landed lightly beside her.

"Hasn't it come out yet?"

The person who came was wearing a brown knitted sweater and beige trousers, and had a tall figure.

She wore a high ponytail and no makeup.

Her eyebrows and eyes looked as if they had been meticulously drawn by a master, her fair skin had a crystal-clear texture with a faint pink tint, and her eyes, like a deep spring, shone with a spiritual light.

Despite being a very casual outfit, she exudes an ethereal and otherworldly aura.

She was as beautiful as an angel.

The moment Zhang Yunlu saw her, this thought spontaneously flashed through her mind.

"not yet."

She shook her head slightly, but soon couldn't help but say something else.

"Sister Ruohan is getting more and more beautiful."

Ok?
Zhao Ruohan was somewhat puzzled:
"Is my change obvious?"

"It's alright." Zhang Yunlu paused, then said seriously, "Ruohan was very beautiful before too."

It's just that now it has an indescribable and inexplicable quality.

Zhao Ruohan pursed her lips.

Even Xiao Yunlu could sense the changes in herself, so how much more so must Chi Jiuyu be...?

"Hey! Little Zhao's here too!"

Before the person even came out, their voice came from inside the Hall of Inheritance.

"No noise is allowed inside the Hall of Inheritance."

"Hey! No offense, but who's making a scene?!"

"If you make any more noise, you'll be fined 100,000 contribution points."

"Yes, yes, I'll shut up, I'll shut up..." A wise person knows when to yield.

Chi Jiuyu slunk out of the Hall of Inheritance.

Upon seeing the two people, she smiled at them despite her bruised and swollen face, which looked quite comical.

Two people: "..."

She quickly ran to their side.

"Hey?! Xiao Zhao, what new thing have you come up with this time? It seems pretty impressive!"

As expected, it couldn't be hidden from Chi Jiuyu at all.

She pursed her lips again and explained:

"Thanks to your Mysterious Candle Fruit Tree, I have completely mastered innate divine powers."

That's right.

As Zhao Ruohan herself said.

Having absorbed the spiritual essence of the Mysterious Candle Fruit Tree and undergone the trials of the Immortal Sect Competition, she finally mastered the innate divine power she was born with—

Wanqing Yuanmu Supreme Immortal Light!

Before this, she and Zhao Ruoming could only use a portion of their innate supernatural powers.

Complete mastery of it represents a qualitative leap.

Chi Jiuyu scratched his head:
"Approximately how much stronger have you become?"

"Right now, I could take on two of my brothers."

Two dog brothers?
“That’s pretty impressive,” Chi Jiuyu said seriously.

Although she is now a 'master fisherman', she can beat up any number of those like Dog Brother as long as they don't exceed a certain number.

But that doesn't mean Dog Brother isn't powerful.

Someone like Xiao Yunlu, who barely made it into the Immortal Sect Competition, is at most equivalent to 0.3 times the level of Dog Brother.

"So you're here to test your skills on me?"

Chi Jiuyu rubbed his hands together.

She has just passed the supreme inheritance trial of the final version of the "Stardust Sword Manual". If she fights with Xiao Zhao, who has fully mastered the innate divine power, she may be able to accelerate the perfection of her "Star Sword".

"I have that idea." Zhao Ruohan looked her up and down for a moment, "But you are now..."

"It's nothing, it's just a few superficial injuries."

The trials of supreme inheritance are bound to involve bumps and bruises.

The Hall of Inheritance will help heal those with more serious injuries, leaving only superficial wounds.

"But let's go eat first, and we can talk about it after we eat."

"Ah."

Then, Chi Jiuyu looked at Zhang Yunlu, who was replying to messages.

"How's it going? Are there many buyers?"

During her break this month, she also developed a new type of talisman.

It has a low rank, strict trigger conditions, and many restrictions, but it is surprisingly popular.

“Many.” Zhang Yunlu closed the interface. “But we’ve also received a lot of complaints. This account will probably be banned soon.”

"Never mind him." Chi Jiuyu waved her hand dismissively.

"At worst, I'll just change to a different number."

"They're just guys who're jealous of how much money we're making. You'll lose if you pay them any attention."

Zhang Yunlu: "..."

But she felt that the reason these people were complaining was not because the symbol made money.

Zhao Ruohan, standing to the side, was somewhat puzzled.

What are they talking about?

……

……

after a while.

Sword Sect Dining Hall, a newly opened restaurant, best enjoyed in a private room.

"Don't worry, order whatever you like, it's on me today!" Chi Jiuyu said generously.

The revenge spending phase that occurs after making money.

Zhang Yunlu didn't stand on ceremony and specifically chose the most expensive items.

Anyway, my senior sister won't stop until she's spent a certain amount of the money she earns.

And she really did make a lot of money this time; a meal was nothing to her.

Zhao Ruohan looked through Chi Jiuyu's phone, a strange look flashing in her eyes.

"So the recently popular 'civilization talisman' was actually developed by you?"

"Yeah, aren't we awesome?"

"..." Looking at the smug Chi Jiuyu, Zhao Ruohan couldn't help but fall silent. "Impressive."

No wonder her account received so many complaints.

'Civilization Talisman' is a talisman that has recently become very popular on the spiritual website.

Its real name is 'Breaking Qi Sword Talisman', which is an improved version of the original 'Sword Qi Talisman'.

As its name suggests, the sword energy generated by this talisman is specifically designed to break through the protective qi of cultivators and can also disperse and weaken their qi and blood.

It is particularly effective against opponents with high physical strength.

But if that's the case, it's not enough to make it go viral on the spiritual website.

The unique feature of this 'civilization talisman' is that after the sword energy hits the target, it is not completely exhausted, but a portion remains in the target's body.

If the remaining portion is not stimulated by 'external force', it will gradually dissipate over time.

However, if there is an external stimulus... the remaining sword energy will unleash nearly twice the destructive power.

As for this 'external force,' currently there is only one that can stimulate the residual sword energy—

Any uncivilized language.

Commonly known as swear words, it can also be called 'refined speech'.

That's right!

This 'civilization talisman' is specifically designed for body cultivators!

Because this talisman is extremely easy to make (in Chi Jiuyu's opinion), requiring only that the talisman master possess a high level of swordsmanship (again, in Chi Jiuyu's opinion), most of the 'civilization talismans' currently circulating in the market are made by Chi Jiuyu.

Chi Jiuyu's sword energy...

Almost no body cultivator below the Nascent Soul stage can withstand it; after unleashing double the destructive power, the vast majority of Nascent Soul body cultivators will have to kneel.

Unfortunately, the material cost of this talisman is extremely low, and Chi Jiu Yu's prices are also cheap, so...

Zhao Ruohan scrolled through the comments under the shop.

[Fist Shakes Mountains and Rivers: **! How could there be such a ** talisman in the world, **! ***!]
