Grandpa, times have changed.

Not long after, Chi Jiuyu left the Central Continent and went to the planetary system she was in charge of to serve as the garrison commander.

Thanks to her previous experience as acting sect leader, and with the help of Yu Yi's improved "Ten Thousand Swords Technique", everything was managed very well by Yu Yi and her.

the other side.

Zhao Ruoming, Zhao Ruohan and their siblings, along with Ye Zhiwei and others, watched as Chi Jiuyu was promoted to the Void Returning stage and appointed as the planetary system's guardian.

In order not to fall too far behind, each of them worked harder and harder in their cultivation.

In the ten years following Chi Jiuyu's appointment as the planetary system garrison commander, the others also successively advanced to the Void Returning stage.

If we exclude the time spent in the Ascension World while carrying out the Ascension Mission, they are undoubtedly the youngest group of Void Returners in history.

Get rid of them.

Lin Changsheng, Yue Chongfeng, Chang Xiao, and others also successfully broke through to the Void Returning Realm during these ten years.

same year.

The effects of the disappearance of extraordinary abilities and the fading of spiritual energy on the immeasurable world of the Chaos Sea became increasingly apparent.

……

……

The Realm of Beginning Stars.

Many years ago, this was a world devoid of spiritual energy, where humanity was on the verge of extinction.

Until the arrival of the Ascension Messenger Zhou Kongming.

He not only triggered the spiritual tide's revival, but also used the 'Timescape' module to extract intact human genetic fragments from the Time Imprint, pulling humanity back from the brink of extinction.

After so many years of development.

Zhou Xian, the chosen one who was first selected and then abandoned, is now at the Nascent Soul stage.

As the leader of the Qixing human civilization, he led the people of Qixing to continuously explore the starry sky and fight against many alien civilizations in the starry sky that coveted Qixing.

After countless struggles on the brink of life and death, the Qixing Civilization finally became the number one power in the boundless starry sky.

At this moment, deep within the universe.

A gray-clad figure carrying a sword case is strolling through the starry sky.

It seemed to be so heavy that even the vast universe could not bear it, and every step it took seemed to make the entire Qixing Realm creak under the unbearable weight.

Yet it also seems ethereal to the extreme, untouched by worldly dust, transcending all worldly concerns.

No matter how the deep space of the universe changes, it cannot leave the slightest trace on him.

It is ethereal and light, yet heavy and majestic.

These are contradictory and relative concepts, yet they coexist in him, and they seem so harmonious.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally stopped.

"Three more years..."

Raising his hand, Zhou Kongming felt the faint spiritual energy flowing between his fingers and sighed softly.

Almost every instant, the inspiration that exists between the stars in the universe is fleeting.

Although this passage is extremely slow, it will take at most three years.

Three years!

The spiritual energy of the entire Qixing Realm will completely dissipate, returning to the initial state of complete spiritual extinction...

Do not!
It needs to be even more thorough than that!
Zhou Kongming gazed into the distance, his eyes traversing a vast distance to land on a blue planet with a ring of spirit meteors, resembling a jewel.

Its energy level is no higher than the Void Realm of the Stars.

Spatial attributes are meaningless to him, who has already attained the Dao.

Qixing.

The starting point of the spiritual tide's revival, the 'center' of the Qixing Realm, and also the true end of the world.

All civilizations and races in the Star Realm want to possess it.

Even though Zhou Xian and other Qixing humans gained a significant advantage in the early stages of the spiritual tide's revival with Zhou Kongming's help, they still paid a heavy price to barely protect it.

"The real test is yet to come."

It is foreseeable that as the inspiration gradually fades, the planet Qixing, as the place favored by the world, will inevitably become the target of everyone's criticism.

Not to mention that three blessed lands built by ascended envoys are hidden on Qixing...

After gazing at it for a long time, Zhou Kongming pointed a beam of light towards the direction of Qixing.

Only after confirming that the spiritual light had landed on Qixing did he turn and leave.

"I just hope we can meet again a thousand years from now..."

And so they walked further and further away, their forms becoming increasingly ethereal.

In the end, he disappeared into the deep darkness.

……

……

Earth Immortal.

Like other worlds in the Chaos Sea, this great world, which reached the level of True Enlightenment, was not immune to the effects of fading spiritual energy.

The world's inner inspiration is constantly being lost.

Meanwhile, Xi Yun, who was still in seclusion at Qianyang Dao Palace, showed no intention of coming out.

The current palace master and a group of elders who knew about the changes in the world were extremely anxious, but they were helpless.

Taiping Boundary.

Taipingjie has now entered a new era.

The Taiping Kingdom governs the human world, with 108,000 guardian deities ruling over it, ensuring peace and tranquility in the world.

Furthermore, countless divine positions were established to oversee various miscellaneous matters in the human world. Those with both virtue and ability were required to participate in the assessment, and only those who passed the assessment could assume the position.

Those who receive divine positions will be supported by the merits of the Taiping Dao Kingdom.

Regardless of rank, a person can only serve for a maximum of sixty years before needing to undergo another assessment.

If it fails to pass, the divine position will be revoked and never used again.

The entire assessment process is overseen by the [Tongwei Guanshi Shenshu].

This divine core was created by Jiang Lin, the first leader of the Taiping Dao, using a wondrous method from the "Ten Ultimate Scriptures of Salvation," with the fallen Tongxuan body as its core, and inviting three Tongxuan masters to refine it.

They oversee human affairs and manage all matters concerning divine appointments and promotions.

Moreover, this divine pivot can also regulate and record the flow of spiritual energy in heaven and earth, and can drive away evil and filth, and summon thunder to subdue demons and monsters.

The disappearance of the inspiration was naturally also recorded.

After realizing this, Jiang Lin racked his brains and tried many methods, but the effect was minimal.

Taiyi Realm.

Having received the decree from the Holy Venerable, the Holy Lord of the Void has begun to unite with the Holy Lords within the realm to establish a Holy Temple.

The boundless chaotic sea, the immeasurable world.

Every world is striving to prepare for the coming end times.

Some were determined to stop it, some tried to change it, and some chose to avoid it.

But no matter what choice you make.

The decline of extraordinary abilities and the fading of inspiration are inevitable trends that cannot be reversed!

For the world itself, the disappearance of spiritual energy is only a temporary silence; a thousand years is but a blink of an eye for the world.

But just as the Chaos Sea was undergoing a dramatic change.

The distant beyond, even beyond the true realm of the other shore.

A world that does not belong to this era, neither powerful nor weak, has appeared.

It seems to have evolved naturally from a chaotic sea.

But inside it, within a planetary system, lies a blue, jewel-like planet.

……

……

Taixuan Realm.

"Are you getting ready to go back already?"

Xuanxu Sea, the underwater city of the Righteous Path Alliance, inside the Holy Emperor's Palace.

Xu Xing leaned back on the sofa, looking at Yuan across from him.

That was the question he just asked.

“Mm.” Yuan nodded.

"Nothing much has happened here in the Tai Xuan Realm."

"Although it will take several more years for things to fully stabilize over there, we can take this time to show Wanzhu and Mingyu around other worlds."

"Anyway, with the Immortal Network, it's convenient to come and go."

Yes, Yuan is preparing to leave the Tai Xuan Realm again.

The difference is that this time he will not only bring Yinling, but also Ning Wanzhu and Mingyu back with him.

"And you? When do you plan to go back?" Yuan asked.

"Let's wait until things are completely stable over there."

It's been so many years, a little more time won't make a difference.

"Let's also try out some of the ideas we had before."

Some thoughts from before...

Yuan seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became somewhat strange.

"Datong Timeline?"

"Ah."

Xu Xing did not deny it.

"To be honest, in my opinion, your ideas are a bit idealistic," Yuan said seriously.

"We should at least give it a try," Xu Xing laughed. "What's that saying again? When you're in creative mode, do you still hold a diamond block in your hand the whole time?"

It may be somewhat idealistic, but it is not impossible to achieve.

He is a true immortal of the Dao Source.

Upon hearing this, certain memories from the distant past surfaced in Yuan's mind, causing him to pause.

Just then, Xu Xing stood up.

"Alright, I'll be going now. See you when we get back."

The words were spoken.

Before Yuan could even say anything, Xu Xing had already disappeared.

After a while.

He stood up, turned around, and walked out.

Going back is fine, but there are some things I still need to explain. ...

……

the other side.

When Xu Xing reappeared, he had already returned to the Sword Sect.

To be precise, we arrived at the Sword Master's Hall.

Chi Jiuyu, who had just returned from the starry sky, and Hong Qingchen, who had just returned to the Tai Xuan Realm after completing his ascension mission, were standing outside the Sword Venerable Hall, staring at each other.

Compared to ten years ago, Hong Qingchen has now fully blossomed.

She wore a plain moon-white dress, had a tall and slender figure, and her long, silky hair cascaded down to her waist, the ends of which were tied up with a white ribbon.

Bright eyes and white teeth, skin as white as snow.

Her five fingers were slender and long, as white as snow, as if carved from the finest white jade, holding a snow-white longsword as if they were one with her.

It stands apart from the world, possessing an ethereal and otherworldly quality that can only be admired from afar.

A fairy so beautiful she seems unreal, if we disregard what she's saying now.

"My father's name is Hong, my mother's name is Chen Huan, and they named me Hong Qing Chen. It's completely part of their... hello, Uncle-Master!"

She was complaining to Chi Jiuyu about her name.

He noticed Xu Xing approaching from the corner of his eye, and he jumped up straight instantly.

"Ah."

Speaking of which, because she was deeply influenced by Chi Jiuyu when she was young, her personality is also rather abstract.

Among the new generation of the seven major immortal sects, he is the kind that is hated by everyone.

However, he's already at the Nascent Soul stage, and he's not even twenty years old yet...

No one in the new generation can beat her.

In contrast to Hong Qingchen being startled by Xu Xing's sudden appearance, Chi Jiuyu remained much calmer.

"Is Uncle-Master here to see Master again?"

"Is there a problem?"

"No problem, no problem! I'm just curious when you and Master will be able to have a child..."

It's been ten years!
Why isn't there any sound at all!

Snapped!
"Hmm~"

Chi Jiuyu covered the back of her head, which startled Hong Qingchen, who was standing next to her, causing him to shrink back as well.

"Uncle-Master, you hit my head again!"

"You're so disrespectful! You're a grown man, be serious!"

"I'm being serious, okay..." she muttered.

And she's not that old, she's only a hundred-year-old Xiaoyu.

Xu Xing ignored her.

He walked straight past the two people and went inside.

"..." Hong Qingchen hesitated for a moment, then looked at Chi Jiuyu, "Should we still go see Sword Master Uncle?"

"Why would you go?"

Chi Jiuyu covered her head and glanced into the Sword Venerable Hall.

"I don't want to be a third wheel!"

Hong Qingchen's expression froze, and she glared resentfully at Chi Jiuyu.

Since she grew up and became more sensible, she no longer uses 'da' as the ending.

But Sister Jiu Yu always teases her like that!
How awful!

She did try to fight back, but her foundation in the art of being shameless was ultimately lacking.

Not only did he fail to retaliate, he also got quite angry with himself.

……

……

And so, time flew by.

Several years passed in the blink of an eye.

The sky is clear and the air is fresh; it's another auspicious day for secluded cultivation, emerging from seclusion to engage in worldly affairs, and for refining talismans and practicing magic.

Lingzhou, Yuying City.

Originally, it was just an inconspicuous small city under the jurisdiction of Lingyinfang, and the mayor was only at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

However, not long ago, Yu Ying Zhenjun, who was from this city, achieved the Dao and became famous.

Even the city's name has been changed to its current name.

Yu Ying Zhenjun was the last Void Returning cultivator to go into seclusion before the era of great change.

Her emergence from seclusion finally made the seven major immortal sects determined to abolish the ancient cultivator response department.

at this time.

In Yuying City.

Several figures walked side by side.

A man dressed in black with black hair, looking relaxed and nonchalant.

Beside him were three stunningly beautiful women, each with a distinct temperament: one aloof and indifferent, the other gentle and radiant, and the other alluring and seductive.

Strangely, all the passersby seemed not to see them at all, and no one even glanced in their direction.

It was Xu Xing, Bie Xuening, Yuan Jun, and Mei Zu.

Actually, Ning Ruo was there before, but since she was about to leave the Tai Xuan Realm, she went back to Lingyin Workshop.

That's right.

Over the years, Xu Xing and the others have been traveling around the Tai Xuan Realm.

Actually, it was only Bie Xuening at first, but later Mei Zu learned of the news and followed along.

The same applies to Yuanjun and Ningruo.

Traveling with beautiful women, Xu Xing has been living an exceptionally carefree life these past few years.

"She really doesn't care at all," Meizu was complaining about Ning Ruo.

“We’ve been dealing with this for so long, but she’s still so slow. She even wants us to come and find her together.”

"If you ask me, we should just not take her!"

As she spoke, she looked at Bie Xuening.

"You're right, aren't you?"

Bie Xuening glanced at her but didn't say anything.

Not getting a reply, the somewhat unwilling Meizu looked at Yuanjun on the other side.

"What do you say?"

"She has a lot of things to take care of, so it's normal for her to be a little late."

cut~
It's completely boring.

With a pursed lip, Meizu looked around.

Suddenly, her gaze fixed on a certain spot in the sky above Yuying City.

A swordsman hovered in the air, with a uniformed law enforcement officer standing in front of him.

"What are they doing?"

"The investigation revealed that a Daoist master had left the pass, and the ancient cultivation department had been shut down. The investigations have been very strict lately."

"Verify?"

Meizu paused, took out a red booklet, and said with a grin.

"Oh right, speaking of certificates, do you have any? I certainly do!"

Marriage certificate.

She took Xu Xing with her to handle it last time.

Bie Xuening and Yuan Jun both paused.

"childish."

"boring."

Despite saying that, the two still looked at Xu Xing.

"Since you all find it boring and childish, then when we return to Brother Dao's hometown, let me and Brother Dao handle this boring and childish matter."

Neither of them spoke.

But Meizu continued to provoke them, and then, just like before, he was captured by the two of them.

Similar things have happened many times over the years.

For a moment, Xu Xing was left walking alone on the street.

Gazing at the sky, my thoughts drifted away.

Verification...

Speaking of which, when he first came out of seclusion, he was also chased around to check his sword-wielding permit.

Before we know it, we're going back...

"I've kept you waiting, Brother Xu."

The sound came from ahead.

But Ning Ruo arrived.

She was somewhat puzzled as she looked at Xu Xing, who was all alone.

"And what about them?"

"Still the same as always."

Xu Xing stepped forward and looked at the document in his hand again.

"This is……?"

"Sword Control Permit".

With that, Xu Xing put away his ID and walked forward with Ning Ruo along the street.

But before they had gone very far, there were more than just the two of them.

last of the last.

This is just an ordinary story.
