The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Chapter 1107: Searching for Yun Que Again

The last time I met Pei Xueyan was in a pavilion in the middle of a lake in the royal garden.

Emperor Zhengde waved his hand, signaling the eunuchs and palace maids serving him to keep their distance, before personally taking the teapot and pouring a cup of tea for Pei Xueyan.

"You've worked hard all these years, let me toast you."

Upon hearing this, Pei Xueyan looked up sharply, saw the smiling Emperor Zhengde, and tentatively asked, "Xiao Han?"

Xiao Han nodded and smiled, "I'm leaving now. This farewell may really be the last time we meet, so I wanted to see you one last time before I leave."

After decades of cooperation, Xiao Han had to admit that as an ancient powerful being, not only was his cultivation level formidable, but his intelligence also far surpassed hers.

With Pei Xueyan's help, her task this time was really easy and didn't require much mental or physical exertion.

In the power struggles at court and how to balance the power of various factions, Xiao Han and the original Emperor Zhengde basically relied on Pei Xueyan to maintain balance and lead the charge.

Although the current Great Qian Dynasty cannot compare to the Great Yun Dynasty where Zhao Qinghe is, it can still be described as a peaceful and prosperous country.

Therefore, before leaving, Xiao Han sincerely wanted to thank this good partner.

Upon hearing that Xiao Han was going to return to the God Realm, Pei Xueyan said she wasn't envious, but that would be a lie.

Having once possessed unparalleled power, he is now reduced to a mere mortal at the very bottom of society. How could he willingly accept such a tremendous fall from grace?

At this moment, facing the only cultivator who knew her true identity and understood her feelings, Pei Xueyan couldn't help but sigh.

"You need to return to the realm of gods, while I don't know how many reincarnations I will have to go through before I can enter the realm where I can cultivate immortality."

Xiao Han thought that even though she had given him half of her merits, she still couldn't get him a good reincarnation. This showed that the mysterious forces in the dark would not easily allow a great evil cultivator to restart his immortal path with his memories intact.

Thinking about this, she seemed to understand something.

So he said, "You were reincarnated with your memories, and I estimate that it would take at least ten or eight lifetimes for you to be reborn into the cultivation realm. If you want to restart your immortal path, it would be best to seal your memories and start over. Perhaps after you cultivate to become a great cultivator again, you will have a chance to break through the seal and become the complete you."

Even if a divine soul has been purified by the Red Lotus of Karmic Fire for millions of years, its resentment should have been almost completely worn away.

If he were to seal his memories and start anew with a completely new soul, the mysterious forces in the dark would likely not deliberately suppress him.

Pei Xueyan's heart stirred, and she suddenly felt that what Xiao Han said made a lot of sense.

He now possesses merits and virtues, and the reason he is being specifically targeted is mostly because he retains his memories.

Pei Xueyan solemnly cupped her hands in thanks to Xiao Han, "Thank you for the reminder!"

Xiao Han waved her hand, "Although I was forced to give you half of my merits, I met you while doing a mission. Then you worked diligently for yourself and for me your whole life. It can be seen that everything is predestined. I won't say anything more. I hope we can meet again in the God Realm someday."

Such a beautiful blessing made Pei Xueyan smile and reply, "Okay!"

-----------------------------------

When Xiao Han regained consciousness in her body, her first thought was whether the Karmic Fire Red Lotus was still inside her.

After scanning around, he found that the Karmic Fire Lotus was still safely nestled deep within his brow, and he was relieved.

I glanced at Ba Dou inside the Linglong Immortal Abode and saw that it was fast asleep again, so I didn't bother to wake it up.

Emerging from the special space, one sees a priest from a shrine sitting at a table registering returning cultivators.

Upon seeing Xiao Han, he pointed to the precious mirror in the void in front of him and said, "Go look at yourself over there."

Just like when she registered for the test, the magic mirror emitted a beam of light, and the golden light of merit shone on her body.

The priest glanced at the record and said to Xiao Han, "Mission accomplished. Bring me your identity jade token."

Xiao Han handed over her identity jade token, and the deacon made a record of it. Then he said, "You can do the next mission now, or you can wait a while before doing it."

When you want to do a quest, simply take your identity token to the respective temple's steward, then teleport to the Triple Heaven Quest Hall to receive it.

Seeing that there was only one person there, Xiao Han asked, "Have all the cultivators who went on missions returned?"

The priest in charge said, "Some have returned, and some haven't."

The priests in charge of the duties changed frequently, so Xiao Han didn't feel comfortable asking them about it.

They went outside and used their communication artifact to try and contact Shui Wuhen. However, they were unable to reach him, realizing that Shui Wuhen was still on a mission and hadn't returned.

Xiao Han didn't rush to do the next task. Instead, she decided to travel around some more to change her mood.

After all, doing missions is just like going to work. She has been trapped in the body of a mortal emperor for decades, and now she needs to take a break to adjust her mood before she can continue working.

Thinking of her friends in the God Realm, Yun Que, whom she still hadn't been able to contact, Xiao Han decided to take advantage of this relaxing trip to go and find her again.

When Yun Que was in the Immortal Realm, he improved his cultivation level by fighting against demonic cultivators. Xiao Han suspected that after Yun Que arrived in the God Realm, he might have gone to the border between the human cultivators and the demons at the Northern Heavenly Gate.

Therefore, she decided to take a stroll around the border area outside Beitianmen.

Without hesitation, Xiao Han headed straight for the North Heavenly Gate.

Not only are there array formations and restrictions at the North Heavenly Gate, but there are also divine officials from the Divine Palace stationed there.

They don't care about the entry and exit of human cultivators as long as the detection restrictions are not triggered.

Xiao Han walked out of the North Heavenly Gate and did not see any unusual sights, nor did he see any demonic cultivators.

She saw human cultivators flying by from time to time on the vast sea of ​​clouds, indicating that this place was not a desolate wasteland.

Xiao Han continued flying forward, and not long after, she saw a huge stone mountain with a hazy halo standing in front of her.

Ba Dou was released by her and stayed by her side, occasionally expressing his opinion that the place was boring.

Xiao Han listened to its muttered complaints but pretended not to hear them.

Anyway, we didn't bring it here for sightseeing, so its opinion doesn't matter.

If it weren't for wanting it to broaden its horizons, it would have continued to sleep soundly in the Linglong Immortal Abode.

On the other side of the rocky mountain, rolling black clouds, like ocean waves, were blocked by the mountain and could not reach this side, forming a clear dividing line.

When Xiao Han saw the stone mountain in front of her, the three words "Demon-Suppressing Stone" involuntarily came to mind.

After glancing at the dark sea of ​​clouds, Xiao Han decided not to go over and turned back to the North Heavenly Gate.

She, who survives by the means of survival, dares not roam freely in the territory of the demons.

Upon arriving at the North Heavenly Gate, he inquired of a Divine Palace cultivator stationed there: "Fellow Daoist, have you ever heard of a human female cultivator named Yun Que? She always enjoys fighting against demonic cultivators."

She also printed out Yun Que's image and showed it to the other party.

The cultivator from the Divine Palace shook his head. "Never heard of it, never seen it."

Xiao Han searched everywhere for human cultivators to inquire, but found no clues whatsoever.

Thinking that he hadn't yet visited the Four Heavenly Gates, including the Eastern Heavenly Gate which was connected to the demon race, Xiao Han decided to take a stroll outside the Eastern Heavenly Gate to see it and inquire about Yun Que's whereabouts.

P.S.: Something came up today, so there's only one chapter.
