The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

Nannan's hand tightly held Zeng Wenyu's hand, feeling the strength in her hand and the slight tremor. Zeng Wenyu exerted a little force on his hand and held Nannan's small hand in return, but he did not dare to use too much force, for fear that his strength would be too great and hurt Nannan.

More than two hours passed like this, and seeing Nannan's still painful and hideous expression, Zeng Wenyu turned to look at his senior sister Li Shengnan. He wanted to ask Nannan how long the pain would last, but he was afraid of disturbing Nannan as soon as he opened his mouth. The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he didn't say them in the end.

Li Shengnan naturally saw Zeng Wenyu's actions. She stretched out two fingers towards Zeng Wenyu. Zeng Wenyu understood that it would take at least two hours, but the strength in Nannan's hands had gradually weakened. It was obvious that she could no longer hold on.

After two hours of struggling, Nannan was almost reaching her limit. Her consciousness was gradually blurring and she was about to collapse, not to mention that she still had to hold on for another two hours.

Just when Zeng Wenyu was hesitating whether to let Nannan give up like this, the Taiyin Secret Book that was originally placed in front of Nannan suddenly emitted light. In the surprised gazes of several people, the shadow of a peerless beauty appeared from the Taiyin Secret Book. It seemed that Zeng Wenyu and the other two were not in her eyes. She walked straight to Nannan, stretched out her finger and tapped Nannan's forehead.

Zeng Wenyu felt the strength on Nannan's hand relax, and the expression on his face calmed down. He squeezed Nannan's hand a little harder, wanting to confirm whether Nannan was awake, but when he exerted force on his hand, he found that his hand could not move at all, and the whole person seemed to be fixed by something.

He was a little anxious, but fortunately, after a few minutes, Nannan held Zeng Wenyu's hand and squeezed him gently. Zeng Wenyu knew that Nannan was probably fine, and the woman's shadow just pointed at Nannan's eyebrows with her finger, and she didn't do anything else to Nannan, so it seemed that she didn't want to harm her.

The time was much longer than the two hours Li Shengnan indicated. When they started, the sun had just set, and now the sun has set again. At this time, the woman withdrew her fingers that were against Nannan's forehead.

A few seconds later, Nan Nan opened her eyes and looked at the woman curiously. She seemed to remember something and knelt in front of the woman: "Thank you, Master!"

The woman nodded, a tired look on her face, and sat down as if there was a chair under her.

At this time, Zeng Wenyu and the other two felt that they could move. They stood up and walked carefully to the front of the woman and saluted her: "Thank you for your help, senior. I hope you can tell me your name."

The woman looked at the three of them and opened her mouth to say something, but Zeng Wenyu and the other two looked at each other. They didn't hear what the woman said, and they couldn't even tell what she said from her lip shape.

"Brother, Master said that she cannot talk to you, so she asked me to tell her that she was once called Taiyin Zhenjun in Tianyi Continent."

Sure enough, Zeng Wenyu and the other two exchanged glances. They all thought of this, but they just didn't dare to confirm it before.

"Thank you, Master Taiyin, for helping our daughter through this difficult time!" Zeng Wenyu and the others bowed to Master Taiyin again, "But Master Taiyin, everyone says that you have passed away. Now..."

"Brother, Master said that she is not dead, but has ascended to the upper realm. However, no one on Tianyi Continent knows about it."

"What? Someone from Tianyi Continent really reached the upper realm?"

The three people were shocked by Master Taiyin's words. Over the years, no one on Tianyi Continent had ever heard of anyone ascending to the upper realm. Now that Master Taiyin suddenly said this, they were a little bit unbelieving for a moment.

Seeing the expressions of the three people, Master Taiyin opened his mouth again. Nannan listened and relayed, "Brother, Master Taiyin said that there are always people from your sect who ascend to the upper realm. The most recent one was a cultivator from your sect named Pang Guangzi."

"Huh? Grandmaster?" Zeng Wenyu exclaimed, "Didn't Grandmaster pass away more than 30 years ago? Could it be that he really passed away and ascended to the upper realm? Rather than being dead?"

“I don’t know. Master just said that our great master passed away. But we have never had a tablet for worship in the Sui Xin Sect… But Master said that when our great master passed away, he was only at the level of Consciousness…”

"Brother, Master said that if you want to ascend to the upper realm, you can't just go there with a high level of cultivation. You also need someone up there to guide you. Master was discovered and led to the upper realm by Taiyin Immortal Venerable in the upper realm. And Master... Master said that you should be called the Taoist sect. There are people up there who can guide you, but the Taoist sect's guidance does not test your cultivation, so only a few people can be guided up. She gave the Taiyin secret book to the Taoist sect for safekeeping because the Taoist sect has always had a legacy."

"Then I wonder if you can bring Nannan up there?"

"Brother?" Nannan called Zeng Wenyu anxiously, but then she felt relieved, "Hehe, brother, Master said that I must at least cultivate to the God Realm before Master can take me to the upper realm."

Shaking his head helplessly, Zeng Wenyu originally wanted to keep Nannan away from danger, but he didn't expect that Master Taiyin could not directly lead Nannan to the upper realm.

"Then senior, I will have to endure a lot of hardships. It will be difficult for me to protect my daughter during this hardship. Can you protect her from getting hurt?"

Master Taiyin nodded and said a few words to Nannan. Nannan was very happy at first, but soon she looked at Master Taiyin pitifully. Master Taiyin shook his head, and Nannan said to Zeng Wenyu disappointedly, "Brother, Master said that she can protect me with the Taiyin secret book, but she can't help you because you don't have the power of Taiyin in your body, so she can't cross the boundary to attack."

"It doesn't matter, as long as the Master can guarantee Nannan's safety, that's enough!"

Master Taiyin nodded, and her shadowy body gradually dissipated and merged into the Taiyin Secret Book. However, before it was completely integrated into the secret book, Master Taiyin said a few more words.

"Brother, Master, people from the Dao Sect should endure hardships. If you are too successful in ascending to the higher realms, we won't accept you."

He took the Taiyin Secret Book from the table and placed it in Nannan's hand. He pinched Nannan, whose complexion had returned to normal. Seeing that she was still thin but no longer looked sick, he said, "Don't worry. My brothers and sisters are all outstanding people. They will definitely be taken away. When the time comes, I will accompany you in the lower realm and send you to the upper realm."
