Chaos Spirit Field

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a thousand years had passed. Zhao Shanhe finally awoke from his long slumber. He struggled to break through the thick earth and trudged out of the Primal Chaos Spiritual Field. Looking at his diminutive frame, less than a meter tall, he felt a pang of grief. Although his body had been restored to its original state, his immense magical powers had vanished without a trace. To make matters worse, the God of Destruction and Luohou had presented him with two "generous gifts": a double seal of destruction and his soul.

Zhao Shanhe looked anxiously at the Chaos Stele, but it didn't display any information, presumably damaged by the explosion. Undeterred, he tried to cultivate, but the results were disappointing. All his generated mana was completely devoured by the two seals, like a drop in the ocean.

In the Zhao Kingdom's Luoyi City, a woodcarving shop quietly opened, specializing in a variety of exquisite trinkets. The owner was a diminutive dwarf. His surname was Li, and his given name was Xiaoyao. While this name might be little known, he once had a name that commanded the world: Zhao Shanhe!

Zhao Shanhe now stood in his woodcarving shop, gazing at the familiar streets of the past, his heart filled with emotion. He had never imagined that he would sleep for a full millennium, and that the Three Realms would have changed beyond recognition.

"Shopkeeper, I want that rabbit." A rough voice interrupted Zhao Shanhe's thoughts.

Zhao Shanhe picked up a wooden carving of a rabbit and handed it over. He said, "Twenty yuan."

The visitor replied dissatisfiedly: "Shopkeeper, it was 18 yuan yesterday, why is it 20 yuan today?"

Zhao Shanhe said, "Yesterday was the last day of our grand opening sale. Everything was 10% off, and today they've just returned to their original prices."

"Shopkeeper, can you please order less?"

"Sir, my rabbit is very popular. If you don't buy it now, it will be gone soon."

The man seemed to have made a great decision. He said, "I'll buy it, and you can give me a beautiful box."

Zhao Shanhe didn't say much and successfully concluded the deal. After the guests left, he began to daydream again.

After a while, a young girl came in carrying a package. She said, "Shopkeeper, do you accept wood carvings?"

Zhao Shanhe was stunned when he saw the girl in front of him. He felt a sense of déjà vu. He said, "Excuse me, young lady, what is your name?"

The girl said warily, "Why are you asking this?"

Zhao Shanhe said, "If your things come from illegal sources, I'll have an explanation if the officials ask about it."

The girl said, "My name is Zhao Yunduo, a student at Yuxu Taoist Academy. These things were given to me by others."

Zhao Shanhe smiled and said, "You have quite a few suitors. Each wood carving costs ten yuan."

Zhao Yunduo said dissatisfiedly: "You are such a ruthless shopkeeper. The price you gave me is too low. The price is 20 yuan, but you only gave me 10 yuan. I have to add more."

Zhao Shanhe said, "Buying and selling are two different things. I need to process your wood carving before I can sell it. Otherwise, I'll get into trouble. Ten yuan is a fair price."

Zhao Yunduo pondered for a moment and said, "You can't let anyone know that I sold it to you."

Zhao Shanhe said, "It's a pleasure to work with you. Come often. There are fifteen pieces in total, a total of 150 yuan. Please count them."

“If the amount is right, don’t say I sold it to you.

Watching Zhao Yunduo's departing figure, Zhao Shanhe fell into deep thought. After much deliberation, he made a difficult decision, summoning his hard-earned magical power and conducting some deductions. He muttered to himself, "This Zhao Yunduo is actually my daughter! Mingyue is so impulsive."

In the Moon Palace, the usually calm Tan Tai Ming Yue was now in a state of panic. Ever since her last argument with her daughter, she hadn't seen Yun Duo in days. At first, she thought her daughter was just throwing a tantrum and hiding away somewhere, but as time passed, she began to worry. She searched nearly the entire Moon Palace, but could find no trace of her daughter.

The Jade Rabbit beside him comforted him, "Master, don't worry. The Moonlight Curtain is not closed yet. The young lady may just be hiding in a corner. She may come out on her own in a couple of days."

However, Tantai Mingyue said with a worried look on her face: "Yunduo must have run away. It's all my fault for being too impulsive at the time."

Jade Rabbit asked doubtfully, "But Master, there doesn't seem to be any change in the Moonlight Sky Curtain. How did Miss Yun Duo get out?"

Tan Tai Ming Yue replied helplessly, "This moonlit sky curtain can stop me, but it can't stop her. I just hope she doesn't get into any trouble out there..."

Zhao Yunduo stayed in Tan Tai Mingyue's belly for thousands of years before she was born. After she was born, she was born with supernatural powers and could travel through dimensional space. Even the moonlit sky could be freely traveled. The most surprising thing is that she is just a mortal.

When Zhao Shanhe used the Three Talents Formation to block the God of Destruction's fatal blow, his actions brought about a profound transformation in the Three Realms. Following the destruction of the Three Talents Formation, Lion City was transformed into a bottomless abyss. Fortunately, Luo Tianshuang blocked it with the Mountain and River Samsara Disk in time, otherwise the catastrophe would have arrived prematurely.

The saints are the foundation of the Three Realms, each of them crucial. However, due to the destruction of the Three Talents Formation, all three saints fell. As time passed, the attacks of the cosmic pests intensified, and Luo Tianshuang gradually felt powerless. Despite her utmost efforts, some escaped and managed to enter the Three Realms.

To counter the threat of these alien creatures, the struggle for the Emperor of Man had to be temporarily shelved. The era of universal cultivation officially began, and people embarked on the path of cultivation, hoping to strengthen themselves and resist foreign enemies. After many negotiations between the state and the sects, it was finally decided to establish a Taoist temple to train more outstanding cultivators to jointly fight against the enemy.

Yuxu Taoist Temple is a product of that era. It is the best school in Zhao State. If you perform outstandingly, you will have the opportunity to become a disciple of Yuxu Palace and a disciple of a saint.

The Yuxu Taoist Academy in Luoyi City is more famous than the one in the capital of Zhao State because it is located in the residence of Zhao Zilong, the deputy head of Yuxu Palace. Students who can attend this Taoist academy have a greater chance of becoming Yuxu disciples.

After Zhao Yunduo came out of the Moon Palace, she came to Luoyi City in a daze. She happened to come across the Yuxu Taoist Academy recruiting students. With a give-it-a-give attitude, she was admitted. It was probably because the immortal master in charge of admissions was impressed by her charm and let her go.

As the saying goes, if you walk by the river, you will get your feet wet. Zhao Yunduo is the focus wherever she goes, and it is only a matter of time before people find out that she is selling gifts.
